...Research of Objective-C October 9, 2012 Introduction There is little doubt in today’s dynamic and fast moving technology market that Objective-C is a powerful, high-level, flexible programming language that has been around since the early 1980s and has the staying power to last a long time. Objective-C is an extension of the programming language C developed by Brad Cox and Tom Love to support the object oriented features of Smalltalk another programming language. Objective-C is the main language from which Apple’s MAC OS X for Desktops and laptops and iOS for iPhones and iPads are derived. There have been variants to this language as well, Objective-C++ and Objective-C 2.0 which proves the sustainability of this language. Due its portability, Objective-C has shown its flexibility and the ability to adapt to the ever changing and fast moving arena of mobile devices especially from Apple. What is Objective-C? Objective-C is a reflective programming language which aims to provide object orientated concepts and Smalltalk messaging to C. GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) provides a compiler for Objective-C, however due to the rich library support on OpenStep based operating systems (Mac OS X, IPhone, GNUstep) it is typically only used on these platforms. Objective-C is implemented as an augmentation to the C language. It is a superset of C which means that any Objective-C compiler can also compile C. To illustrate what Objective-C looks like as a language I will show you...

...Hepatitis c is a blood born virus that affects the liver. The disease was discovered in 1989. The virus infects others when an infected person comes in contact with an infected person. There are several ways a person can be infected by hepatitis, sharing needles, blood transfusion, piercing, tattoos, from mother to infant, and intercourse. Hepatitis is a single stranded RNA virus that is enveloped virus.” Binding to the cell surface, HCV particles enter the cell by receptor-mediated endocytosis.” That is how the virus enters and invades, there is no known fact on where the virus originated. “There are at least six major HCV genotypes and more than 50 subtypes of HCV.” The book describes how the genotypes are categorized by different locations....

Addressing this non-symptom illness as one of the principal causes to chronic disease, risking people born between 1945 and 1965. For many years in the U.S. has been affected with the diagnosis of chronic Hepatitis C, people had no way to screen for the cure. This virus is easy to spread and hard to treat. However, many of the treatments available made people feel more sick, and made them have flu, with no other symptom this illness took several lives away. Right now, depending on the genotype of the virus people can achieve a cure. The Naval Hospital Pensacola has developed the first hospital screening program...

...Maurits Cornelius Escher was a Dutch artist born in 1898. He attended Haarlem's School for Architectural and Decorative Arts where he took up graphic art. During the early 1920’s, Escher traveled throughout the Mediterranean where he met and later married Jetta Umiker. Over the course of his life, he made 448 lithographs, woodcuts, and wood engravings, as well as over 2,000 drawings and sketches. M.C. Escher died on March 27th, 1972 in the Netherlands. After his death, his work continued to be popular and its mathematical implications were explored. M.C. Escher is best known for his “impossible constructions”, drawings that could not exist in a three-dimensional form. Some examples of his impossible constructions are Relativity, Reptiles, and Ascending and Descending. His work is appreciated by mathematicians because of the immense research, precision, and logic that went into them embrace his works. The “impossible constructions” especially appreciated because of their accuracy and the attention to detail M.C. Escher used while creating them. M.C. Escher used math in his art by researching geometry before creating his art to insure that it was as accurate as possible. By using geometric principals, he was able to create art that looked both accurate and impossible. He used math to create perfect proportions and a sense of reality in his art that would have been impossible to achieve without it. Geometry allowed him to be realistic and creative at the same time and...

...Elizabeth DeHaven Professor Dr. Nicole Martins T317 11/3/13 Paper C As I was watching an episode of the Nickelodeon series, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, an advertisement for “Power Rangers Megaforce” action figures caught my attention. The ad was filled with many different toys flying everywhere. Toys were moving and jumping through the air all by themselves. The commercial not only advertised the action figure people, but also different guns, motorcycles, and add-on pieces to the toys. Different types of action noises were blasted throughout the ad to enhance the action figure’s abilities. Also, there showed a young boy in the ad, presumably around the age of 5, playing with the toys while his face was lit up with pure excitement. The TV show, Kung Fu Panda: Legend of Awesomeness, is directed at children between the ages of 5 and 7. Since kids in this age group are watching this show, the advertisements that are going to be shown will also be directed at kids this age. Young boys ages 5-7 watching this show would be the main target age group and would be highly captivated by this action filled advertisement. In a research study by Kunkel and Gantz, it was found that the same types of products dominated commercials during children’s programs (Strasburger, Wilson, & Jordan, 2014). The four main categories of children’s ads found on television were toys, cereals, snacks, and fast food. This proved to be true as I continued to watch the following ads...

...programming and data structuring. 1980’s C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup. C++ is one of the most popular programming languages and is implemented on a wide variety of hardware and operating system platforms. As an efficient compiler to native code, its application domains include systems software, application software, device drivers, embedded software, high-performance server and client applications, and entertainment software such as video games. It was also used for hardware design. The idea of creating a new language originated from Stroustrup's experience in programming for his Ph.D. thesis. Stroustrup found that Simula had features that were very helpful for large software development, but the language was too slow for practical use, while BCPL was fast but too low-level to be suitable for large software development. 1990’s Java was created by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems. Java was originally designed for interactive television, but it was too advanced for the digital cable television industry at the time. James Gosling aimed to implement a virtual machine and a language that had a familiar C/C++ style of notation. JavaScript is not related to Java. It was originally developed in Netscape, by Brendan Eich. Battling with Microsoft over the Internet, Netscape considered their client- server solution as a distributed OS, running a portable version of Sun Microsystems' Java. Because Java was a competitor of C++ and aimed at professional programmers,...

He has exclusively been an OO developer for the last 15 years (Jack W. Reeves - About the Author," copyright 2000-2006). In my opinion, the journal article was originally written in 1992 as a call to action to those in the software design and programming vocation. Mr. Reeves was obviously a strong proponent for the use of C++ as the programming language of choice. He compared software design to modern engineering practices in an attempt to better define the process by which software is developed, the need for the software industry to advance and expedite its concept to product cycle and to encourage his peers to consider the value of C++ as the necessary tool for advancement of his ideas. Reeves wrote: “Ultimately, real advances in software development depend upon advances in programming techniques, which in turn mean advances in programming languages. C++ is such an advance. It has exploded in popularity because it is a mainstream programming language that directly...
