Valley Forge and the not re-enlisting people In the nine months I have been a soldier at Valley Forge sickness has claimed many deaths among the soldiers. The quarters were cramped, with twelve soldiers sleeping in small huts that measured 16 by 14 feet. Scarlet fever is ravishing the ranks on a British soldiers, who caught terrible disease from local girls. Befor this war we had already lost Boston and New York and we have a great chance of losing what we have left. In 1777 at Valley…

The Medieval Ages stated around the fifth century to the early sixteenth century. It was caused by the fall of the Roman Empire in around 476. The dark ages were not really a time of darkness. There were great advancements and inventions during that time. During the Medieval Times, there were many advances in agriculture, science and architecture. Some of the advances include the change of the number system, the change of animals in which they used to farm and the gothic architecture used during…

Animal Diversity Report: Comparison of the Nervous and Reproductive Systems of the Compass Jellyfish, Axolotl, Horseshoe Crab, and The Compass Jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella) - The Compass Jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella) is a species of jellyfish that can be found in cold and temperate waters near the continental shelf regions of the Irish and North Seas, the Mediterranean, and coastal regions of South Africa (Doyle et. al.). The Compass Jellyfish belongs to the Genus Chrysaora and the…

Wildlife Population Data: After observing populations of two different species of birds, we were able to come to conclusions using data of their populations over a time interval of 43 years. By looking at the year vs. population, one can see general trends of both the bald eagle data as well as the data from pheasants both tend to generally increase. We inserted the data from Table 9 into individual graphs of the population of pheasants and bald eagle breeding pairs. When looking at Figure 15,…

The Maya was an ancient civilization renowned for their remarkable architecture as well as their exceptional knowledge in astronomy and mathematics (Peterson and Haug 2005, 322). Reaching their population peak around 750 A.D, the Maya experienced societal collapse between 750 and 950 A.D (Peterson and Haug 2005, 322), the cause of the collapse remaining a heavily debated topic today by archaeologists. This essay will argue that the primary contributing factor of the Maya collapse was drought;…

The Maya were often misinterpreted as uncivilized people that practiced human sacrifice, bloody rituals, and war. In contrast to European explorers, modern historians see the Maya quite differently in terms of sophistication. Located in Mexico, Belize, Central America, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. The majority of their surroundings was made up of volcanic mountains, scrub plains, and tropical rain forests. This ancient Mesoamerican world lasted for more than 2000 years, and was split…

Leading the charge of Mayan innovation was mathematics. While the world recognizes the Arabic numerals, few notice that the Mayans developed a similar system without help from any outsider. The Mayans used placeholder digits, like Arabic numbers. However, these Mayan numbers had twenty as a base rather than ten, meaning every “zero” after a number…

Computers have all but replaced humans for doing complex calculations. But computers handle numbers much differently than humans do. At this point, the majority of people use base-10 for their math. The base of a number system refers to the number of number symbols used in that system. In base 10 the numbers used are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Humans use this system because it shortens numbers. Humans have 10 fingers so it is logical that base-10 counting systems developed naturally. But…

It accepts an M-ary value that specifies a predefined symbol map with the number of distinct symbol map values to use as symbols. samples per symbol specifies an even, positive number of samples dedicated to each symbol. Multiply this value by the symbol rate to determine the sample rate. The default value is 16. symbol values specifies an array of symbol values with an order that corresponds to the symbol map. The number of QAM states in the array must be 2N, where N is the number of bits per…

Computing Assessment Student’s Name Tutor’s name Course Date Assessment Item Blog-1 What is computing power? The efficiency of the computers is reliant on the computing power of the unit. The central processing unit (CPU) has different components among them an electronic clock. The job of the electronic clock is to create electric pulses at various intervals. The pulses allow the computer to synchronize different components while determining the speed in which different…
