ABSTRACT Using remote sensing technology is an effective way to observe and verify the wise and sustainable use of natural resources. With its weather and daylight independency Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data emphasize as particularly suitable for large-scaled monitoring. But the classification of SAR images is more difficult as of multi-spectral images. Because of the microwave’s interaction with the object parameters on the earth surface, like roughness or the complex dielectric…

Do You Enjoy Saint Joseph’s College? For our final project in Business Statistics, we chose to pose the question, “What affects one’s enjoyment of Saint Joseph’s College?” In other words, are there direct correlations between things like gender and school year and one’s enjoyment of SJC? We though perhaps one’s gender might affect how much they enjoyed SJC – perhaps females enjoyed their time at this institution more than males. Or, we thought we might find that the number of clubs involved in…

Moreover, documenting the caries experience for children aged 5 years old reflect the importance of the interpretation of such experience in the children with all 20 deciduous teeth. As from the age of 6, deciduous teeth are shed and replaced with permanent teeth so the number of deciduous teeth declines. All of which will result in decreasing the caries experiences for older children due to the reduction in the absolute number of teeth with caries experience 84. The distribution of caries…

The Catchment Land Use for Environmental Sustainability model (CLUES), designed by the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Ltd (NIWA), provided the data for both the Nitrogen and the Phosphorus concentrations throughout New Zealand. The development of CLUES was through a consolidation of existing mapping procedures and modelling(EnviroLink, 2012), and contributed to by various research organisations (NIWA, 2016). From this collaboration, the models responsible for the Nitrogen…

Out of all, the burned area showed a significant increase in longleaf pines, (Pinus Palustris) and a decrease in woody species, compared to the unburned area. In fact, it jumped from a frequency of 15 in the unburned area to a frequency of 50; which is two times that of the burned area (see figure 1). Compared to all other species of tree, Pinus Palustris experienced the most increase of frequency. Whereas, Pinus Clausa or sand pine, was only present in the burned area showing that it was a…

Garner et al. outline the seven interrelated dimensions of the EDI (Eating Disorder Inventory) used to evaluate the extent at which the patient is affected by anorexia nervosa: Drive for Thinness, Body Dissatisfaction, Ineffectiveness, Perfectionism, Interpersonal Distrust, Interoceptive Awareness and Maturity Fears (17-19). Garner et al. demonstrate that patients with anorexia nervosa are characterized by their perfectionistic attitudes. Garner et al. report that “families in which anorexia…

Teaching math can be a daunting task, especially in the lower grades. Teaching mathematical concepts through lecture and paper and pencil work isn’t enough to achieve deep understanding, math reasoning or problem solving skills. Math manipulatives are “hands on” or virtual materials designed to engage students in active investigation to gain higher levels of understanding. Manipulatives not only allow students to explore concepts, but also allow teachers to see what students are thinking. “The…

Delay of gratification is a person’s ability to resist temptation for a least preferred but immediate reward in order to receive a later but larger reward (Mischel, Ebbesen, & Zeiss, 1972). Mischel, Ebbesen, and Zeiss (1972) held a series of experiments at Stanford University to of study the role of attentional and cognitive mechanisms in delay of gratification (Mischel et al., 1972). The experiment investigated the effects of attention to the goal objects and was measure by the amount of time…

Beltway Shoe Company Statistics are everywhere, in business meetings in the form of graphs and charts, quality in the form of frequency of errors, and in the media as survey results and weather forecasts. Some folks may be nervous when they hear the word statistics; however, they are most likely using statistics and probability nearly every day of their life and not even notice it. Beltway Shoe Company is featured in this exercise reviewing the results of their Western and Eastern region shoe…

In our everyday life statistics are used in some form probably more than we realize. At home, you could be keeping a running average of your utility bills to see if differences appear. If you are looking at paying off your mortgage five years early, you will need to calculate the amount needed to accomplish this achievement. Some of us that may have purchased stocks will keep stats on the highs and lows of their investments to help determine a time to possibly sale the stock. The use of…
