moment education is a big part of my life. I am still finishing up my time at high school. I say that because I feel like my high school is more of a prison than a school. I am required to go there work eight hours a day five days a week with a little twenty minute break for lunch. Honestly, school is a part time jail cell. Even though I do not like being forced to learn I still go, because I know what I achieve now will help me later. I know I have been told over and over I will use Algebra in everyday life, but it is as total lie. I am still enduring math, which I am convinced was invented by Lucifer himself. I have never remotely liked mathematics. Math was bearable up until the point the alphabet hooked up with the numbers under the square root sign. However, I still managed to receive a B or better in kindergarten up until the present day. Then we come to college, college is the place where the workload becomes more challenging. Certain aspects of English are difficult for me to wrap my head around. As a matter a fact it is for most people. English is the hardest language to learn out of hundreds of other language. Look at the Chinese language one word looks like a bunch of circles, squiggles, boxes, and dots put together, yet English is harder to understand. Grammar rules are the reason why English causes problems for so many. Typing the words grammar rules in the sentence sent a shiver up my spine. Ask me to write a story I can do that in my sleep. Ask me to correct…
and the parts with complex internal shapes by using precisely controlled sparks. EDM process has wide applications in aero space, nuclear and automotive industries to machine precise, complex and irregular shapes. [1-2] Surface roughness is most commonly refers to the variation in the height of the surface relative to a reference plane. It is usually characterised by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Standardization Organization (ISO). Most commonly used…
FES showed significant decreases in action potential onset and improved activity in the tibialis anterior during trials, but did not show any change after gait trials over 10 days of therapy compared to sham stimulation groups (Lairamore, Garrison, Bourgeon, and Mennemeier, 2014). In a study of 58 stroke patients undergoing FES for improvement of gait, the FES group was shown to decrease the muscle co-activation index of the quadriceps/hamstring to a significantly greater degree than in placebo…
information about the components of electrical activity—namely motor unit (MU) activation—during a muscle contraction (Cashaback, Cluff & Potvin, 2013). Observing electrical activity of a muscle with EMG is a user friendly and non-invasive tool researchers use when investigating muscle physiology (Camata et al., 2009). EMG is commonly used to correlate EMG signal with fatigue by identifying the EMG-force relationship (Ertl, Kruse & Tilp, 2016). Additionally, EMG is used as a means of…
Aim The aim of this assignment is to investigate the method to correct the power factor within an AC power generation system. Once the power factor is found we shall improve the power factor in said theoretical circuit by modifying the existing one and calculating the differences this makes to the output across the circuit as a whole. Then we shall use a circuit design software package to confirm our theoretical results and identify whether our improved mathematical skills have solved the task…
estimated values were replaced by 0. Step 5, replacement of values For a NoData record which has not been marked as filled, if the difference between its previous estimate and the current estimate is less than a certain critical value, store the current estimate and mark this record as filled. Iteratively run step 2 to step 5 until all gaps were filled. Cross-validation was used in application of the iterative-PCA gap-filling method to provide a scheme for selecting the best values of…
Before the man even looked at him, he climbed onto the stage and began writing on the stone. “Can I clear a few things up?” he said. “The book, the title is written in Akkadian. It says, On Triangles, written by Sudines. And the spell? It’s a theorem that can find the length of the hypotenuse of any right triangle. It’s amazing, but it’s not witchcraft.” Using the chalk he sketched out two square frames, each filled with different shapes. “The square frames are equal in size, but there are…
He also adds on by stating that “Garden beds improve growing conditions for plants by lifting their roots above the soil”. Providing us with a simple but key explanation of why plants seem to grow faster if planted in garden beds. Hayes says that, “The soil in beds that are raised warms up earlier in the spring and is innovated by certain grasses and by the tree roots”. Recommending several steps to construct a raised garden bed. First, decide where it will be located the higher the length is…
What is your Cage? What keeps you back from freedom? Maya Angelou wrote an amazing and entertaining autobiography titled I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, about her hard life growing up as a black girl from the South. Among the hardships are things known as "cages" as stated as a metaphor from Paul Dunbar's poem "Sympathy." "Cages" are things that keep people from succeeding in life and being everything they want to be. Some of Maya Angelou’s cages include being black in the 1940's and her…
(-- removed HTML --) The Ya-te-veo tree, meaning "I-See-You" tree, is a carnivorous plant native to the jungles of the Old World, and regions of Outer kingdoms such as Africa and Central America. It possesses a thick, short tree trunk consisting of greenish brown bark, and several long tendrils which resemble huge serpents, darting side-to-side as if they were engauged in an angry conversation. There are five glowing green eyes at the top of the trunk, placed in such a way to allow full…
