Temporal scales

no exception to this rule of thumb, as deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) are a growing problem in the US and reflect the displacement of deer populations. Over 1 million DVCs occur in the US annually and result in the loss of human life, human injury, and considerable financial costs resulting from the vehicle damage (Gunson et. al. 2011). Interventions such as increasing driver awareness have had no considerable impact on DVC rates. For the ninth year in a row, the highest-risk roads in the country are in West Virginia, where drivers face a 1 in 44 chance of colliding with a deer (State Farm 2015). Trends between DVC’s are well-documented in certain high-risk areas with respect to spatial patterns, but research is lacking in the areas of temporal and ecological patterns. The purpose and aim of our research project is to track deer behavior along West Virginia’s Route 41 and establish trends between the locations of deer sightings and pre-recorded factors such as vegetation, weather, and time of day. By filling such a knowledge gap, we hope to draw long-reaching conclusions that ideally inspire the implementation of more deer-warning signs and other preventative measures. Literature has proven that deer warning signs make these types of collisions less likely (Found et. al. 2011). Such data can be compared with deer sightings. Our research aims to answer the question: under which factor(s) do DVCs occur most often? In the end, this research will allow for precautions to be…

The measurements of our world strive to quantify the quality of our lives. The scales we use to measure ourselves and how we feel, fail to understand the concept of life itself. The tears of joy felt by a mother; the symphony of silence held by a survivor; the loudness of a murmur spoken as a prayer. Life is a composition, led by a melody, woven piece by piece, tied by our hopes and colored by our sorrows. Like darkness is the absence of light, pain is measured by the absence of happiness.…

S. 1[1] Ernest J. Gaines accuses the legal injustice against the black population through an innocent convict, Jefferson's death in A Lesson Before Dying. However, Gaines penetrates the fact that the legal injustice is rather a result than a…

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a hinge joint that connects your jaw to your skull. You have two to connect both sides of your jaw to your skull specifically to your temporal bone. This allows you to be able to use your jaw in simple tasks such as eating or talking. Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is known as any kind of pain dealing with the temporomandibular joint or with the muscles located around the joint (WebMD). It is not quite clear what specifically causes, but specialists…

Michael Williams et al., of Wayne State University published an article in Rehabilitation Psychology, analyzing the psychosocial outcomes after a TBI. Williams states that a TBI can create deficiencies relating to thought, motor abilities, behavior, well-being, and depression (298). Kent Kiehl et al. of Yale University published a study in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, which analyzes temporal lobe abnormalities in criminal psychopaths. Kiehl observes that structural deficiencies that cause…

children, as well as adults, willpower can be thought of as a basic ability to delay gratification (Hoerger et al., 2011). This study proved that there a delay in gratification would improve someone’s self-control. For example, when smokers are trying to stop or fully commited to stop smoking they resist the enjoyment for a healthier life. Another example could be when shoppers resist to go on a spending spree to save more money up to be comfortable to retire at a given age. What would have…

A year ago I was diagnosed with simple and complex partial seizures of the temporal lobe. The kind of seizures I have are hard to describe but its kind of like being on a roller coaster. You're strapped in and you can feel the tension as you know its going to happen, and you know its going to be scary. Once you reach the top of the roller coaster you get a weird feeling in your stomach, just like you do before your seizure happens . Sometimes you experience a very strong, awful feeling of Déjà…

For patients with temporal lobe epilepsy there is a high resistant to medication. This leads to a risk of memory impairments and mood disturbances. Long-term this leads to quality of life impairments and an increased risk of death. Due to the resistant to medication surgery is recommended for patients with TLE. Anteromesial temporal lobectomy (AMTL) is the most common surgery for the treatment of patients with TLE. AMTL is performed in both children and adults. AMTL is done in 30-40% of surgery…
