Pattern Recognition

That this pattern might be anticipated is understandable. For those of us who think the very meaning of marriage requires that it be between a man and a woman, the evidence and the weight of these sorts of arguments seem almost overwhelming. From ancient times and…

The human being is actually a heart being, having a heart and living in the body. Minor has been known about the body however soul and the individual spirit are like no-go zones. For humanity to assert overall health within the 21st century, mankind should muster the courage to exceed the typical. Breaking new reasons, championing new ideas and venturing into the unknown. No-one can find new countries without leaving the shore. Our shallow efforts and information can't guarantee our conquer…

Traditionally, most attempts to distinguish meaningful subgroups of children and adolescents with serious conduct problems (CPs) focused on variations, seriousness and frequency of conduct problems displayed by the child, level of aggression, age-of-onset, and presence of certain comorbid conditions such as ADHD. New approaches, however, are forging a new path that focuses on a child’s affective and interpersonal style, grouping together children presenting with both conduct problems and…

The Canela: Bonding through kinship, ritual, and sex I. Introduction This case study of the Canela is designed to represent how the Canela bond through ritual, kinship, and sex. Anthropologist William H. Crocker began field research with the group in 1957 and has since lived with the Canela for an accumulated total of more than five years during eleven field trips. Crocker graduated from Yale University in 1950 and completed his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1962. This…

The essay critically evaluates the MBO theory and examines its practicality from the aspects of goal-setting, performance, goal measuring and communication. Although the planning process encourages task achievement, it fails to promote the recognition of operational goals. Similarly, MBO may be flawed in mobilizing the enthusiasm of employees though productivity can be boosted. Moreover, in spite of the advantages in motivating workers through the appraisal system, it can be argued that the…

Thus, a landscape is an area of land containing an interesting pattern that affects and is affected by an ecological process of interest that holds life or supports life. Landscape ecology, then, involves the study of these landscape patterns, the interactions among the elements of this pattern, and how these patterns and interactions change over time. Also, landscape ecology involves the study and the application of these well implied principles…

others unknown. With Google’s expansive dataset, such as StreetView images, the reCAPTCHA system can use human effort to analyse a vast number of images for visual components it may contain, such as street signs or house numbers, and employ pattern recognition on images that have been confirmed to contain a certain object so that it may more accurately predict the presence of these objects in other images. On the other side of the spectrum, some computer scientists have been inspired to develop…

General Education Reflection Over the course of my undergrad education here at Iowa state, I have always tried to keep a greater perspective in mind when working on focused topics. Whether that be working on projects or conducting a lab, knowing where that fits as a whole is a key insight to becoming a well-rounded engineer. With this thinking in mind, we are able to construct where ideas lie respectively and fill in the gaps between subjects. Coming to the end of my senior year, I am reflecting…

underlying social patterns and structures of the area of interest through the process of constant comparison using several methods. Narrative analysis or storytelling occurs when one or more subject engages in sharing and recounting an experience relating to the topic or event being analyzed. Usually, the telling of a story can take multiple turns…

does to identify them when they are the same. Introduction We are able to perceive the world due to our ability to identify two-dimensional patterns. Many theories presumed that pattern recognition works by first processing key features, and then followed by more global or local processing to assimilate enough information to identify the two-dimensional pattern. The globality of visual property relates to how high it is on the hierarchy. As Kimchi explains, “Properties at the top of the…
