...arguing the idea that hip-hop is mostly about the music, the sound surrounding the lyrics (I mean, he also spends much of the book expressing the same ideas over and over and over again, but I won’t get into that). Bradley expresses the idea that the music comes first, and the content comes second, and I found myself strongly disagreeing with the notion. To put it simply, hip-hop is indeed art. In order to make this assertion, however, you have to take a step back and ask: what is art? Is it taking some Crayola crayons and rubbing them on a piece of paper, soon to be hung up on the fridge? Is it a statue of some random naked muscular man? I believe that art simply describes a method of expression. It could be a painting—Picasso’s Guernica, for example—which is a form of visual expression. A painter wants to express a feeling about, say, a...

...A person is able to convey a lot with just a facial expression. A smile can signify happiness, while a frown can signal unhappiness. In some cases, our facial expressions can show our true feelings when in certain situations. At times we try to hide our true feelings and say we are okay but our facial expressions might signal otherwise. People often blink faster when in an uncomfortable situation. Blinking less frequently may show that a person is intentionally trying to control their eye movements. Poker players have to remain calm they use this technique; they might blink less frequently because they are purposely trying to appear unexcited about the hand that was dealt. Facial expressions are also among the most universal forms of body language. The expressions used to convey fear; anger, sadness, and happiness are similar throughout the world. Darwin was the first to suggest that facial expressions were universal his ideas about emotions were a centerpiece of his theory of evolution suggesting that “emotions and their expressions were biologically innate and evolutionary adaptive, and that similarities in them could be seen phylogenetically. However the dominant perspective in psychology was that facial expressions were culture-specific – that is, just as every culture had its own verbal language, it had its own language of facial expressions” (Matsumoto, Hwang). Women are better than men at reading facial expressions according to a study published by Neuropsychologia ”Evolutionary...

...Regular Expression Characters For a list of regular expression characters: Get-Help About_Regular_Expressions PowerShell regular expression characters: PowerShell also supports the character classes from .NET regular expressions: As well as the ,NET regular expression quantifiers: Using Regular Expressions The $Matches variable holds all the values that match the regular expression. In this example we are looking for a single (the first) “word” character: If we want to find multiple word characters we would do this: $matches only holds the word “PowerShell” because the space is not a word character so the matching stops. To find more than one word we need to put a (literal) space between our word expressions: We can do the same for numbers. Or, to match more than one numeral: To find an IP address, say in a log file: So far we have only been matching one thing at a time. Using the .NET regex object gives us a lot more flexibility. [regex] specifies that the expression “\w*” is not a string object but an object of type regex. Regex objects have a “matches” property that produces the output above. Notice that the word (or space) is contained in a “value property. We can see only the items matched, without the index, length, etc. by iterating through the matches and specifying only the value property. Note that $var and $var1 are still populated from the previous example. We have been populating strings to search through...

...high-throughput analysis of gene expression in research and routine diagnostics. However, the major hurdle is not the practical performance of the experiments themselves but rather the efficient evaluation and the mathematical and statistical analysis of the enormous amount of data gained by this technology, as these functions are not included in the software provided by the manufacturers of the detection systems. In this work, we focus on the mathematical evaluation and analysis of the data generated by real-time quantitative PCR, the calculation of the final results, the propagation of experimental variation of the measured values to the final results, and the statistical analysis. We developed a Microsoft® Excel®-based software application coded in Visual Basic for Applications, called Q-Gene, which addresses these points. Q-Gene manages and expedites the planning, performance, and evaluation of real-time quantitative PCR experiments, as well as the mathematical and statistical analysis, storage, and graphical presentation of the data. The Q-Gene software application is a tool to cope with complex realtime quantitative PCR experiments at a high-throughput scale and considerably expedites and rationalizes the experimental setup, data analysis, and data management while ensuring highest reproducibility. INTRODUCTION One of the best characteristics for the functional status of a certain cell is its gene expression pattern. Cells belonging to different...

Operon is a unit made up of linked genes that is thought to regulate other genes responsible for protein synthesis. A Operon allows protein synthesis to be controlled in response to when the cell needs it. Energy is conserved due to the fact that it is in control of when protein is needed. A Operon is made up of a group of structural genes that codes for enzymes that are...

...Charles Darwin’s Work in the Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals Kyubin Kim Texas A&M University-Commerce Charles Darwin’s Work in the Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals There are major works done by Charles Darwin such as The Origin of Species or Decent of Man. Among them, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals is also one of the major works of Charles Darwin. This book was published in 1872 and was an astonishing bestseller. After more than 100 years, a new edition of Darwin’s masterpiece is published edited by Paul Ekman who is one of the world’s leading authorities on facial expressions. The third edition contains the changes Darwin had wanted at that time, but it doesn’t cover much of it. While reading the book, it is easy to understand why Expression causes such an impression nowadays. Darwin in his book mentioned the things of our everyday life such as anger, joy, love, guilt, disgust, horror, modesty, and sulkiness. In addition, he also gives a scientific renovation to this. Darwin argued that human emotions are universal, and these emotions are derived and evolves from those animals. When the book was published, it was forgotten and ignored for a long time because its’ subject matter came to be at the center of not only scientific, but also of controversy and political. Back in time, various theories of world existed and the facts of human emotions were shaped by our experiences or by our biology theory were never going to be...

...Intro to Mass Comm. Dr. Tameka Winston December 3, 2012 I am a new student at new higher learning institution which has changed my whole view and outlook this past semester. I was a student in Dr. Tameka Winston’s class where I actually felt like I had a teacher who cared about the students. I enjoyed the debates and class discussions we had in class. Along with gaining new knowledge new in the field I was introduced in to the world of mass communications on a college level. I also really learned a lot from Dr. Winston in the aspect of being a person. I am truly thankful for the experience that I encountered as an undergraduate in Winston’s class. This semester I became more knowledgeable on some the origins of mass media, music and radio and television. In chapter 2 I was able to understand the origins of many forms of media and who was credited with creating these forms of media. Gaining information like the Chinese actually invented the first form of a printing press. This printing press ways not innovated until a about 400 years later by a german named Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenburg with his invention Gutenburg gave birth to modern media. Another avenue that was discussed was that the invention of photography and its development. The first of aspect of a camera was brought about in 300 B.C. by a mathematician named Euclid. Then around 1558 an early technique called camera obscura was introduced to the world and was widely renowned. As for music...

...Typography and Expression Expression starts from thoughts, which takes shape of words. Spoken word is very different from written. Having said that, all of us would agree as to how the closest form of verbal expression is written. Does this arise from a mere lack of choices (our ancestors and their developments to the field of language), or is there really something that despite of all its negativities, is as effective a tool as Text? Linguists and minions alike strive to revive the Art of Conversation, one where two or more people are in each others’ vicinity so as to not miss out on nuances of facial expression, that further reinforce what someone has to express; because that to them is expression in its purest sense. Though it is not always possible to face the person you are talking to, voice alone acts as expression; thus making it somewhat difficult to assume what someone is doing while a deep conversation is in progress over the phone. Where a verbal conversation is not possible, people prefer to write what they want to say. (Chat, mail, the lot) Literature also acts as an effective carrier of culture in the form of language; whether it is as efficient as dialogue or not, is debatable. Language : the ease with which a person expresses him/herself in a more tangible format than thoughts. Language as we now know, keeps us from being savages because of how effortlessly and naturally we use it, both in vocal and written form to emote. Language over the years...

...Fighting Words The power of your voice can change what others think and feel. But a world without freedom of expression would be a world without social change. This freedom of expression allows you to be who you are and not be ashamed to show the world. The question we must then ask ourselves is what if we were stripped away from the right to express ourselves? What would a society be like? Can our minds even fathom what life would be like? With freedom of expression we can express different things in different manners, although the way we express this may not come out the correct way. The freedom of expression can be deadly when it is used the wrong way. Many people feel like they can say whatever they want whenever they want. In return the government ends of happening to silence the people. The people are now keeping their thoughts and their feelings held captive on the inside of them. When this happens people tend to become alive but yet dead on the inside. They drown in their own thoughts and become depressed and opressed. In the novel, Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, depicts how a society has lacked the opportunity to express themselves. Mildred, a character in the novel is used to represent the people in this society as a whole. She shows how people without freedom of expression become so compressed by their own feelings that they become dead on the inside. There are so many people in their world that are like Mildred. “We get these cases nine or ten a night.’’says...
