...Field Research – Baby Einstein and Mozart Effect Week Two Assignment PSYCH/600 – Developmental Psychology December 1, 2014 Introduction Learning through the use of music has been a crucial part of development in every society as far back as the Stone Age. Music, in all its forms, has been a staple in every culture, bringing communities together and connecting generation to generation. According to McBride, “The oral tradition of simple children's songs, folk songs, and lullabies is quickly being lost, replaced by commercially produced popular and rock music as more and more people rely on recorded music rather than singing or playing music for themselves and others” (2002). Baby Einstein videos claim to enhance infant’s knowledge, making them smarter, happier babies. This paper will delve into Baby Einstein’s claims, research rebuttals, and ethical impact as laid out by the American Psychological Association. Area of Development Baby Einstein videos are marketed by Disney Corporation with the slogan “Great minds start little” (babyeinstein.com, 2014). Marketing makes claims that Baby Einstein videos are made to enhance multiple areas such as music, art, language, nature and shapes/numbers. The videos develop the infant’s music skills by enhancing the infant’s rhythm, pitch, and harmony, icon; art through bright, real life picture that have true association. Language is developed through “words, written or spoken, are presented in three languages...

...Informative Speech Outline Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the life and discoveries of Albert Einstein. Central Idea: Einstein still remains as the most famous scientist of all time and his discoveries are still changing the way we look at the universe. Introduction: E=mc2(squared) is the most famous formula that is known by almost everyone. This famous formula, of course, belongs to the most famous scientist Albert Einstein. I am pretty sure many of you, if not all, has heard of this formula at one point of your lives. Because I have a passion for both science and physics, I have been studying Einstein’s theories and his life for the last couple of years. Today, I am going to talk about early years of Einstein’s life and some of his discoveries which changed the way we look at the world. Body: 1) Einstein was born in Germany and his passion for science started at a young age. A. Einstein was born in Ulm, in the Kingdom of Wurttemberg in the German Empire on March 14th 1879. B. In Einstein’s early ages, his father showed him a pocket compass; Einstein realized that there must be something causing the needle to move. This event sparked the passion inside Einstein for science and later on he began to build mechanical devices for fun. C. Unlike a general thought, he never struggled to pass the exams or talk. It was just his family who thought he had a learning disability. D. Even though being remarkably good at physics and mathematics, he was not as successful...

...Introduction Scientific understanding of gravity, and its effects, has changed substantially over time. Prior to the late 17th century, people believed that matter was seeking its rightful place in the universe. The ancients believed that the center of the universe must be the Earth, therefore, the denser the object, or matter, it would fall; the lighter the matter, the more it would rise. This is what they believed to be the natural order of things. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle believed that the bigger and object, the faster it would fall to the ground. Several centuries later, a man named Galileo proved that items fell at the same rate, regardless of mass. Galileo discovered the rate of acceleration. These two thinkers from...

Wrote later: “If Euclid fails to kindle your youthful enthusiasm, you were not born to be a scientific thinker.”Begins to excel in maths and science, despite hating regimentation of school and rote learning. 1892 Einstein is not bar mitzvahed so not technically a member of the Jewish community. 1894 June – Parent’s engineering company go into liquidation, the family move to Milan while Einstein remains in Munich with distance relatives to finish his schooling. 29th December - Einstein leaves school early with a medical certificate, joins family in Milan. He had no school leaving certificate but a letter from his maths teacher confirming his excellent maths abilities. 1895 Essay “On the investigation of the state of the Ether in a magnetic field” in summer sent to his uncle Caesar Kock in Belgium. Einstein’s family plan for him to study engineering. 8 – 14th October – Einstein fails the entrance exam for the Swiss polytechnic in Zurich despite outstanding results for maths and science (he was two years below the normal age of 18.) However the mathematical and science part of his exam impresses Professor Weber enough for him to invite Einstein to attend his lectures. 26th October - Enrols at Technical...

JAGDEEP SINGH INTRODUCTION The name LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Light is really an electromagnetic wave. Each wave has brightness and color, and vibrates at a certain angle, so-called polarization. This is also true for laser light but it is more parallel than any other light source. Every part of the beam has (almost) the exact same direction and the beam will therefore diverge very little. With a good laser an object at a distance of 1 km (0.6 mile) can be illuminated with a dot about 60 mm (2.3 inches) in radius. As it is so parallel it can also be focused to very small...

The idea therefore, is to keep off unwanted persons or objects from ones premises. One’s premise is defined by a boundary which separates private property from the rest of the land. This boundary is referred to as the perimeter. The perimeter could be physical or logical. Physical security is intended to keep intruders from land and grounds around such property. Logical perimeters on the other hand, are for protection against computer sabotage or any other remote malicious activities (Fennelly, 2012). In a nutshell, perimeter security...

...INTRODUCTION Is science a religion? This topic has been debated by many creationists and scientists alike. The philosophy of science makes no claims to knowledge about the supernatural or metaphysical and, by not so doing, is left with an enterprise that although hugely successful is also permanently on trial (Manne, 2010). The only thing scientists can agree upon is the empirical nature of science, but the steps from observations to theory are not without philosophical problems. DISCUSSION Thomas Kuhn thinks that scientific paradigms are essentially pictures of the world that are consistent with observations and logically coherent. But such pictures are necessarily always incomplete, at least until such time as we know everything, and our minds seem to struggle to accept this; it seems like there is an aesthetic compulsion to create harmonious images, even if that means filling in the spaces with metaphysical constructs. Andrew Brown states that the dictionary is wrong; science can be a religion too. He explains that if you strictly use the dictionary definition of science then it cannot be considered a religion, but if you look at science objectively you can see how it could be considered one. He makes a strong argument that religion has too many definitions for science to not be considered one. Richard Dawkins believes the opposite. He states that science is based upon verifiable evidence. Religious faith not only lacks evidence, its independence from evidence is its main...

Secondly advertising is ―non-personal‖ that means it is directed towards a mass audience not directed towards any individual as it is in the case of personal selling. Finally advertising is identifiable with its sponsoring authority or advertiser. It discloses or identifies the source of opinions and ideas, it presents. Einstein College of Engineering Objectives of Advertising: There are two types of Advertising Objectives, I. II. General Objectives. Specific Objectives. I. General Objective a) Stimulating Demand – It can be done in two ways, first the present users of the product may be persuaded to increase the present rate for product consumption. Second way is to attract the new users into the market by telling them the qualities of the product. b) Increased profits. II. Specific Objectives of Advertising a) Preparing ground for new product. b) Facing competition. c) Informing the changes to the consumers. d) Barring new entrants. e) Creating or enhancing goodwill. f) To assist salesmen. g) Expanding the market to new buyers. h) Reminding customers.

This paragraph will analyze the changes that have occurred in the fashion apparel industry in the past century. We will also discuss some of the major trends that are visible in the fashion industry today. Up until the 1960s, the fashion industry was roughly divided into two groups. First there were firms which were based on mass production, with low costs and standardized styles that did not change frequently (Bhardwaj & Fairhust, 2010). During this time, a large group of consumers was less sensitive to fashion and had a preference for practical, basic apparel. Secondly there was the luxury fashion industry, which originated in France. A small group of French traditional players set up a special ...

...Introduction Albert Einstein once said: “The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.” What does everybody know about nuclear energy? When most of you think of the word nuclear you might think of bombs. We talk about clean energy and most of you think of water or wind power, but there are some big drawbacks to those and through this I would like to educate you about another source. I. What is nuclear power? Nuclear power is when you harness the power of radioactive metals decaying (that is where they constantly keep losing electrons). The power is then used to heat water into steam and then using the pressure built by the steam to turn a turbine to create energy. A. Advantages The benefit to nuclear power is that it is a sustainable energy source (meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs) and it reduces carbon emissions. It also decreases the dependence on foreign oil. B. Disadvantages Disadvantages are that there have been accidents in the past such as Chernobyl or Three Mile Island that scare people. The biggest disadvantage though is storing nuclear waste and how it is handled. The waste is harmful and can accidentally or purposely be used to harm people and the environment. II. Comparing common sources of clean energy There are...

...Introduction 1. [pp: 2Albert]Albert Einstein once said: “The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.” 2. Nuclear power is a source of energy that occurs when a neutron is launched at an unstable atom like uranium or plutonium. A cool fact about nuclear power is that it is a scientific discovery that was funded by the military. The US called it the Manhattan project. The project existed during WWII to create a bomb that would scare the world into peace Nuclear power is used in many ways to create power and to this there are many advantages and disadvantages, there are even some accidents but in the end there are more pros than there are cons. We talk about clean energy and most of you think of water or wind power, but there are some big drawbacks to these that nobody seems to ever discuss. Body I. What it’s used for [pp: 2Einstein]Nuclear energy is used to make power for many things. Many countries such as France and Japan have already changed most of their power to nuclear power and minimized the amount of fossil fuel used to create power. Many of the major navies in the world use this as a way to dominate the seas. The main reason that we don’t want to use fossil fuel is that it creates green house gases that may or may not be causing global warming but they do cause pollution in their immediate area with sulfur and other toxic chemicals...

When does this ionization occur? When the temperature is hot enough. Balance between collisional ionization and recombination: | Figure 1.1: Ionization and Recombination Ionization has a threshold energy. Recombination has not but is much less probable. Threshold is ionization energy (13.6eV, H). χi | Figure 1.2: Ionization and radiative recombination rate coefficients for atomic hydrogen Integral over Maxwellian distribution gives rate coefficients (reaction rates). Because of the tail of the Maxwellian distribution, the ionization rate extends below T = χi.
