Today, I am interviewing my very close friend Nathan Hayes (male, 14). He is struggling with a slow disease called Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). We both do competitive fighting and he travels with me and the competition team at Focus Martial Arts & Fitness. He first found out he was going blind when he was 10 years old. He just said “Oh, just another obstacle.” and continued living a normal life. He Made a ‘Bucket List’ where he wrote a list of things he wanted to do and see before he goes blind,…
This took arduous mathematical modeling and computation through the MATLAB software. I contributed in implementing the chassis and motor design my utilizing AutoCAD. Another important project I’ve worked on was a three-element Windkessel Model, used to represent a pulsatile flow in the arterial system of the heart through a MATLAB simulation: a healthy unobstructed model and one in which hypertension caused a defect in the parameters used in the mathematical model to simulate the portrayed…
This paper by Granovetter looks at the correlation between the level of network overlap and network strength. Namely, the paper looks to answer the following question: Is the degree of overlap of two individuals’ social networks correlated with the strength of their tie to one another? Furthermore, Granovetter provides a socioeconomic perspective on the implications of social tie strength- looking at tie strength and job acquisition. Granovetter interviewed a random sample of 54 individuals from…
Yes, I am the girl that everyone goes to with his or her math homework. Why? My affection for numbers is just to unreal to put into words. The emotion I get in a math class than just in any ordinary English or social studies class can come shocking to others, but not to me. The happiness I get inside when I have solved an equation is like a little kid getting their favorite candy on Halloween. In math there is always a solution to a problem unless of course it does not exist. This made me…
Potential Investment Project 3 The third investment that Indian River’s management team asked Constand Consulting to analyze and discuss involves choosing between two different projects, W and C, which are systems of disposing of wastes associated with another product, frozen grape juice. Both systems have an estimated three-year useful life; the project selected will probably be repeated at the end of its life into the foreseeable future. Since the waste disposal projects have no impact on…
INTRODUCTION Students of all levels of education experience math anxiety. Math researchers define math anxiety as a ‘feeling of tension and anxiety that interferes with the manipulation of numbers and the solving of mathematical problems in ordinary life and academic situations’ (Finlayson, 2014). The purpose of this paper is to examine how math anxiety impacts children? Also what we can do as School Psychologists to prevent and help manage math anxiety in children. This paper will go over the…
Introduction The personal network being assessed is based on support networks. The entire network was separated into two tables: a strong tie network and a weak tie network to be evaluated more closely to either support or argue against the claims of literature on social network ties and support networks. The networks were studied using various measures, including: network size, average tie strength, age homophily, female proportion, ethnic diversity and homophily, kin centredness, total…
In the article Superman to the Rescue: Simulating Physical Invulnerability Attenuates Exclusion-Related Interpersonal Biases (Ackerman, Bargh, & Huan, 2013) Julie Huan, Joshua Ackerman, and John Bargh set up a number of studies including a pre-test, study one, study two, and study three to demonstrate the relation between physical invulnerability simulation and positive or negative reactions to being excluded in social situations. They also consider how the reactions of exclusion can change when…
verifiability of the empirical sciences. This uniqueness has generated significant discussion on the exact nature of mathematical truth. The inductivists held that mathematical truths were simply an extension of empirical science; mathematical truths are simply highly probable rather than certain. Hempel defends a view known as logicism: mathematical truths are analytic truths of logic. This paper will analyze both viewpoints in order to demonstrate logicism's superiority. The paper…
The rules of Logic specify the meaning of mathematical statements, it is the basis of all mathematical reasoning (Rosen, 2012). Its application in the area of computer science is very vast that even the computer itself defends on it, True or False, 1 or 0, and the presence or absence of bit. The study of Logic will increase your knowledge in formulating logically statements for the reason that program statements and expressions is built from repeated application of logical operators. This module…
