English 101 Essay # 2 10-6-17 Rachel Hockenberry Swarm Intelligence The meaning of swarm is well known and is used to describe a group in movement. Picture a swarm of bees flying together. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge. (Wikipedia) Swarm intelligence is a collective behavior of decentralized, self -organized systems, natural or artificial. (Wikipedia) When I think of swarm intelligence “the no I in team” saying comes to mind. Basically, you can get more done…

Artificial Intelligence, from your phone to the chess board to your car, is becoming more and more advanced, seemingly only bounded by our imagination. It seems as though we, as a society, should no longer be asking “Can I?” and instead should be asking “Should I?” Modern times are plagued with issues caused by human error such as mistakes, accidents, and misjudgment. If you could eliminate these errors, saving millions of lives a year, at the cost of a marginal amount of your freedom, would…

neurological basis of learning and memory began during an independent research project in the second year of my master’s degree at Bangalore University. I was in awe when I realized how extraordinarily complex the neural mechanisms that support memory formation are and yet these profound neural events may be “undone” if the memories are not retrieved. Furthermore, I learned that memories can be embedded in chains, or “engrams”, composed of antecedent and subsequent events and may lack specific…

Spina bifida is a genetic birth defect that affects the development of the spinal cord. In babies who contract spina bifida, parts of the neural tube fail to develop or close properly, causing defects in the spinal cord and in vertebrae. This occurs when bones of the spine do not form properly around a baby’s spine. The exact cause of this defect is not known. However, expert think that genes and environment have an effect. If a mother has one child with this defect, it is thought that another…

Mindfulness training (MT) is now a heavily researched practice that is seeing a resurgence in western culture. Mindfulness can broadly be defined as a practice in which a person uses techniques to help train the mind to reduce stress and increase awareness. Researchers Farb, Anderson, Bean, McKeon, Mayberg, and Segal are the first to look at a reduction in the expression of sadness through MT by looking at fMRI images of the brain to locate specific regions that have been associated with sadness…

Spina Bifida (Ridosh, Braun, Roux, Bellin and Swain (2011) state “Spina Bifida is a chronic congenital health defect caused from the incomplete closure of the neural tubes of the spinal cord during the first few days of development. It occurs in almost two out of every 10,000 births.” According to the Spina Bifida Association of America, (2014) there are four different types of Spina Bifida. The first one is, Occult Spinal Dysramphism (OSD). Children born with this particular form of the…

Spina Bifida, a condition that is classified as a neural tube defect that affects about 1,500 babies are born with each year where the spinal column is not completely closed over the spinal cord. There are two types of Spina Bifida, one being very mild and one being very severe. Although this can be a tough disorder with possible physical and mental disabilities, with the correct treatment and follow through many people with some assistance cam live their lives fully. Spina Bifida can vary in…

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), spina bifida is a condition that is obvious at birth and disturbs the spine (“Spina Bifida,” 2017). It is a type of neural tube defect. “Spina bifida can happen anywhere along the spine if the neural tube does not close all the way.” If/when the neural tube does not close all of the way, the backbone that protects the spina cord does not shape and close as it should. When this happens, it can lead to damage to the nerves and spinal…

Spina bifida is a neural tube defect that affects nearly on in one thousand births a year (Rathus, 2011, p.51). This birth defect can cause many problems throughout a child’s development. Spina bifida can affect a person from the way they think to the way they walk. It is important to know how spina bifida affects development in order to better understand how to help those who have been diagnosed with the disorder. Spina bifida can be detrimental to a child’s cognitive abilities such as,…

users armed with just enough knowledge to be dangerous: There should always be steps in place and contingency plans for all possible attacks on a system or network. It is good that this lesson was learned sooner rather than later so that the IT team stays vigilant and supervises experimental software among other threats. 5. Institute rigorous network change control: Establishing formal and consistent procedures for changes is a good use of a lesson learned. Taking control of their previous…
