Simmons and Sutter examined the impact of the installation of Doppler radar on the quality of tornado warnings and occurrence of tornado casualties. The researchers provided information on what Doppler radars were used, such as the Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) and WSR-88D radars. The NEXRAD radar system has 159 radars in the United States (U.S.) and overseas, as well as 121 radars installed at National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast offices. The NEXRAD system is used to monitor and…

According to Enhanced Fujita Scale, the tornadoes in the United States and Canada can be rated in six categories: EF0, EF1, EF2, EF3, EF4 and EF5. Scale Wind speed (mph) Rating classifications EF0 65–85 Weak EF1 86–110 Weak EF2 111–135 Strong and significant EF3 136–165 Strong, significant and intense EF4 166–200 Violent, significant and intense EF5 >200 Violent, significant and intense Figure 1. The six categories of tornadoes of the Enhanced Fujita Scale EF5 tornadoes have happened in the…

engineering practices, XP does not provide much more about management, while the RUP model also has drawbacks, such as for small projects, slow response to frequently changes in requirements and tends to be over budgeted. We are aware that RUP methodology, delivers a structured and disciplined approach throughout the software development, which is suitable for medium and large scale projects. On the other hand RUP model has some shortcomings as well, such as rapidly requirement changes not…

The ad we chose to bust comes from Victoria’s Secret, a company that is known for their marketing strategy of using attractive female models and calling them angels to sell their product. The females they chose to represent their brand are never anything less than tall, skinny, physically fit, able-bodied, young, and flirtatious with big breast and white or at the very least light-skinned. Accompanied by the message of perfect body, this ad communicates the message of what a person is expected…

Few examples are Cinema 4D, 3D MAX and Maya. For complex objects like characters, we can import reference images into the 3D space and use these images as a guide to model the object to their correct scale and proportion. For less complex objects, we can just use the basic object shapes available or the different kind of spline tool and adjust the points/edge/polygons respectively. A few other tools also available are subdivision surface…

several national sport and athletic performance development programs in youths, particularly in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom (UK). The final two sections provide a summary of evidence related to physical literacy interventions and large-scale partnerships to increase physical activity on a national level. Philosophical roots of physical literacy Physical literacy (PL) has been used within physical education for over two decades, generally as an alternative to the idea of being…

What is the Anthropocene? What is the Anthropocene, and why is it important? According to Paul Robbins, John Hintz, and Sarah A Moore (2014), the Anthropocene is an expression that is occasionally used in order to describe our current geologic epoch. It is said to have started from the time people first started having a control over ecosystems; influencing environmental ecologies all over the world (Robbins, Hintz, & Moore, 2014 p.4). With this definition, it is implied that humans have had a…

Effects on Classroom Structure on Student Achievement goals Orientation, by Shannon R. Self-Brown and Samuel Mathews II, was published in The Journal of Educational Research in 2003. In the study, Self-Brown and Mathews wanted to study the effect of how three different types of classroom structures affect the goals that students set for themselves. In today’s schools students consistently show a lack of motivation. They take for granted the educational opportunity that is in front of them.…

they told you what they wanted. 3. Unique grading scales It can be hard enough t get a 90 percent for an A, ever harder is having to get a 93 to get an A because the professor has created their own rouge grading scale. Grading scales can be complicated enough, but there is always a few professor who feel the need to overcomplicate things through the use of weighted grade scales, and other strange and unique scales. The use of these grading scales end hurting the students then helping them,…

Unlike the East coast, the natural disaster that is most common in the West coast is earthquakes. As common as earthquakes are, there are only so much we know about the elements involved; such as fault lines. The topics discussed are what and where earthquakes occur, its history, and earthquake preparation in California. Earthquakes are known worldwide as a shaking of the ground. However, this just how people see the phenomenon where destruction follows. According to Christopher Scholz and his…
