The Signal

The hypothalamus, is found in the brain, all humans and most animals have it. The hypothalamus is important because it helps the body maintain homeostasis and it controls specific hormones. The word homeostasis is separated into two parts, homeo means “the same” and stasis means “not moving” or to “hold,” (An Overview). In terms of body temperature, homeostasis is referring to the maintenance of internal balance. In order to achieve homeostasis for animals, they maintain a relatively constant…

information from the external environment or other neurons. Secondly, the neuron will process the information from all of its input and determine or not to send an output signal depending on the situation. Thirdly, the neuron will transmit the signal along the length at a fast speed. Lastly the neuron will convert the electrical signal to a chemical one and hand it over to another neuron or to a muscle or gland.…

In Anxiety as a signal, symptom, and syndrome, we begin to further understand the anxiety through different perspectives. To begin with, we learn the three most relevant models of the concept of signal anxiety, which are the Freudian structural or ego psychological, the object relations and the self-psychology. The Freudian structural or ego psychological model is a representation of the ego's failure to adapt to the demands of reality, both internal and external. The object relations model…

Pyramid Pacifist SpaceX and AERA have recently come up with the likely theory that the pyramids were built by an ancient alien civilization called the Xelon. SpaceX has located the host star of the Xelon. Two weeks ago, on August 2, 2113, AERA conducted a search of a lost pyramid in Samalut, Egypt, and found technology far too advanced for Ancient Egyptians. They handed the technology over to the Egyptian government who could not decipher the complex code. The Egyptian government then handed…

James Q. Wilson and Professor George L. Kelling. Wilson and Kelling examined the relationship between disorder in a community and the criminal activity in that community. Their theory is based on the idea that one broken window in a building is a signal to potential criminals that the building and the community is not cared about. This leads the potential criminals to think that criminal deviancy is invited because no one appears to care about the community. The Broken Window Theory has been…

range of the laser, interactions between the signal and the target, the effect of the environment on the transmission of the signal, methods used to amplify the optical signal, and materials which are used to focus on and collect the optical signal are all important aspects of optical sensors. This report…

represents the downfall of civilization and the uprising of savagery. Another symbol in the book is the signal fire. The signal fire represents a sense of hope and rescue. To Ralph, the only way they are going to get rescued is by keeping the signal fire going. This symbol is important in the story because it generates conflict and aggression. It also ties in with irony when in the end the signal fire doesn’t save them. The forest fire Jack set saves them. Piggy’s specs are another symbol in…

researchers used a statistical map for that slice in one subject, which showed the results of a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for Experiment 1. This test compared, at each location, the degree of “the MR signal during the time points when the subject was attending to the white (moving) dots to the magnitude of the signal during the time points when the subject was attending to the back (stationary) dots”. There is a significant difference between the experimental and control group so that the change…

devices because of their size, they come with properties such as reduced mass, high quality factor (Q factor) and very high fundamental resonance frequencies. These qualities of NEMS makes them desirable for numerable applications such as components of signal processing devices, actuators and high speed sensors. NEMS can be used to construct resonators through a process of surface nanomachining to achieve frequencies of above 10Ghz. The operation at such high frequency range opens gateways to…

When you may ask? The poem mentions the date April 18, 1775. The poem goes right when Paul is planning out the plan for a signal if the British come by land or if they come by sea. Who you may ask? Paul Revere, his friend, and the colonists helping them. What was happening you may ask? Paul was waiting impatiently for the signals. As soon as he saw the signals he got on his horse and rode off to the village and alarmed everyone to be prepared for the British. Then after all that…
