Mom was usually nice, but at that age I found her to be naggy. My dad was rapidly losing weight, thanks to a special surgery he got. I remember thinking my dad wouldn 't be the same after the surgery and it was a bad thing. Looking back I was clearly mistaken. My brother is very large for a little brother, mostly at the waist. We usually…

I was indoctrinated into the Disney philosophy as soon as I could sit through The Lion King without screaming during Mufasa’s death. I actually believed that my parents were a…

As a toddler, much of the media entertainment I was exposed to was derived from clunky TV’s, un-intuitive MP3 players and CD players, VHS tapes, cassette tapes, and CD ROMs. In the 18 years that I have been alive, technological innovation has seemingly increased at an exponential pace. Furthermore, such civilizational progression has altered all aspects…

Hue, Saturation, and Intensity are represented as HSI in HSI colour model. The HSI model is used as an alternative to, or alongside the RGB representation. In this model, the hue of a colour is its angle measure on a colour wheel. Pure red have hue value as 0°, pure green have hue value as 120°, and pure blues have hue value as 240°.

used to calculate emission energies as a function of R and H. First three terms represent the band gap and kinetic energies of electron and hole, respectively, and the last four terms are components of total Coulomb correction: Veh = Weh + Ueh + Ve + Vh.
