...measured by testing the speed and accuracy in which one is able to decipher between which pairs of shapes have been revolved about a central point, and pairs of shapes which are mirrored versions of the initial figure. In 1971, Roger Shepard and Jacqueline Metzler introduced the concept of mental rotation to the field of Cognitive Psychology after performing a series of studies measuring the reaction time and degree of accuracy in which it took participants to recognize whether between a pair of figures, the second shape was identical to the first and had simply been rotated about a point or was a reflected/mirrored version of the original figure. It is my belief that both the reaction time and percentage correct are greatly affected by angular disparity and are negatively correlated as a function of angle. I predict that the highest reaction time and lowest percent of accurate shape identifications will occur when a shape has been mirrored and rotated more than 90 degrees from it’s initial starting point. I believe that there will be both lower reaction time and a higher percent correct when blocks are rotated to a position that has a lower degree of angular disparity when juxtiposed with the original arangement of blocks. According to an article titled Mental Rotation by Yohtaro Takano in The Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science, “When angular disparity exceeded 180 degrees, it was found that response time did not continue to increase monotonically but turned to decrease up to...

...When people think about globalization, most focus on sweatshop labor and the loss of manufacturing jobs overseas. It is easy to understand the race to the bottom that results as factory workers in one place face more intense competition from lower-cost labor on the other side of the world. College teachers would do well, however, to include their own future prospects as they consider the impact of globalization over the coming years. The university will be a very different place in another decade or two, and what it will look like depends to a large degree on what version of globalization wins out. Today we are often told that education must be made more efficient by being forced into the market model, moving away from the traditional concept of education as a publicly provided social good. This neoliberalism—the belief that today’s problems are best addressed by the market, and that government regulation and the public sector should both be as minimal as possible—is not unique to debates over education: it dominates economics, politics and ideology in the U.S. and most of the world. There are three elements involved in the neoliberal model of education: making the provision of education more cost-efficient by commodifying the product; testing performance by standardizing the experience in a way that allows for multiple-choice testing of results; and focusing on marketable skills. The three elements are combined in different policies—cutbacks in the public sector, closing...

...Zombicide is a cooperative zombie game in which each player takes the role of a survivor in a post-apocalyptic world. Each round in broken into three phases; The movement phase, the zombie phase, and the end phase. The movement phase is where players can use their three default actions to move around the board collecting items, murdering zombies or escaping a grizzly death. During this phase players can also generate sound, a sound is created by actions such as shooting and knocking down doors. The zombie phase begins with everyone receiving a card, these cards determine the zombies that will spawn for the phase. Zombies spawn on spawn slots placed on the map, and can be one of four different types; Walkers, Runners, Fatties and The Abomination....

... Now we have to prove that we cant get what we desire with a smaller number of guards. Therefore we take 2 guards, and if not possible with 2 its not with one, as well. To cover the elements in the set {d,e,h} we requires 2 guards from {d,e,h,I,a}. If it is the 2nd case then no guards from this set can cover for instance g, Therefore we would have once again at least 3 guards. 11. Let G be a graph that satisfies the condition in Exercise 10. (a) Must G be loop-free? (b) Could G be a multigraph? (c) If G has n vertices, can we determine how many edges it has? Eliminating an edge from the loop will still lead to a connected graph, therefore it is a necessity. It cant be since eliminating from a vertex with degree more than 1 will still result in a connected graph. It can be verified that these sorts of graphs are tress, therefore the number of edges is n-1. 15. For the undirected graph in Fig. 11.12, find and solve a recurrence relation for the number of closed v-v walks of length n ≥ 1, if we allow such a walk, in this case, to contain or consist of one or more loops. Beginning with v we can continue to v on the cirle once again or to go to w and then back to v. Therefore beginning with v then we have an arbitrary number of...

...E E 1.26 in 400/1.26=317.46km/inch E=35.5 N 119 W Determining the Epicenter Using 3 Seismographs Michelle Veitz This study determines the exact epicenter of a fictitious earthquake. Using 3 different seismograph reports from three locations (Albuquerque, Boise and Sacramento) and a map, we are able to pinpoint the exact epicenter. The epicenter was estimated to be 35.5 degrees North latitude and 119 degrees West longitude. Partial information was provided in a grid format regarding seismographic data of 3 locations. Using a seismograph report from location Albuquerque, Δt was determined. Using Vp and Vs provided, tp and distance to the epicenter was determined using formulas provided by the professor. After determining a scale for the map, the radial distance was determined by dividing the distance to the epicenter by the appropriate scale. Circles were placed around each location based off of those calculations. At the intersecting point of all three circles is the epicenter for this particular earthquake. These calculations are found in the grid below. Using a measurement of 24 seconds per tic mark on the seismograph, 96 seconds was used as the Δt for Albuquerque. Δt was given as 79.58 sec for Boise and 30.96 for Sacramento. Vp was given as 6.01 km/sec and Vs was given as 4.1 km/sec. Using the formula, tp = (Vs * ∆t) / (Vp – Vs), tp was determined for all 3 locations. Using formula Dist. = Vp km/sec * tp sec, the distances to the epicenter was calculated...

...My hometown, Shangnan County, located in the southeast Shaanxi Province, is famous for its beautiful landscape and various agricultural products, these make her a poem in the mountains. Among these different kinds of plant products, the featured one is tea, behind which there is a story that proves the wisdom of the people here. Once a saying tells that tea cannot survive once go beyond the thirty degrees in the north latitude, while located at about thirty-three degrees in the north latitude, it seems Shangnan is not an appropriate place for tea growing. However, about thirty years ago, the pioneers in Shangnan found a few tea saplings in the wild, then they began to cultivate, tens of years of endeavor bring them success. They make the tiny saplings of tea into a complete industrial chain, which support the whole economy powerfully. The creative and hardworking characteristic of people in Shangnan has made an impossible thing come into reality. Furthermore, they give tea a new favorable habitat in the northern areas in the planet. The beautiful scenery in Shangnan is also impressive. Among these beauty spots, the most well-known spot is Gold-Silk Gorge. As a Five-A class National Forest Park, the Gold-Silk Gorge is chartered by its varieties of species of plants and animals besides its spectacular sight. In the gorge, here you can enjoy the soft and gentle curves of the mountains, while on the other side, the steep cliff from the heaven down to the earth may take your breath...

...dilemma whether or not to apply for the next post in the same company. The reasons may have been many as discussed in the presentation- low self-esteem, no proper knowledge of the subject, not a proper relationship with her supervisor, etc. The group discussed about different stages of career development, internal barriers in the organizations that might block you from moving up in the organization. Besides these, they discussed about aspects like ‘The Plateau Trap’, ‘The Glass Ceiling’, and they touched on the areas of Gender Issues. The group also sort of gave an orientation to the class about how each and everyone of us should plan our career path-how to choose the right job, right company and the right post, etc. Group 4: 360 Degree Appraisal Johnson & Johnson The fourth group discussed on the case of Johnson & Johnson which uses a 360 Degrees Appraisal program. This type of appraisal is done by all the employees about one another. The case discusses the pros and cons of this type of worker performance styles. The group also argued whether this type of appraisal program should be open or anonymous. In my personal opinion, these types of program should be done anonymously, because the level of accurateness of the performance analysis will be high when it’s anonymous rather than the other way. When you know that the rating you are giving will soon be found out by your peer, more of biasness will appear. Conclusion: Overall, both the presentations were...

...Ever since graduating from high school the question that always came up to me was what do you want to major in once you start your college career. Unfortunately I never really had a solid answer for that question; I was always trying to figure out what I was interested in. My mentality was to take it day by day and see where life took me possibly figuring out what I want to study for the next four years of college. My first year of college was a great experience from me, I was able to live at school and take on the responsibility as an adult. At of all the class I took at St. Thomas Aquinas College I still had no idea in what I wanted to major in. It became a frustrating process because I had felt like I had wasted a year in not coming to a decision. I had a couple of ideas but when I looked at the big picture on what kind of jobs I can get with that specific major and the classes I had to take for the future, it never became promising so I let it go. I chose to stay undecided and take life as it came to me with getting discouraged. My main concern then was now to obtain a strong GPA. Even though I had no major I took core classes which every major required in order to start setting myself up. Setting a path for myself in order to be successful for the future was very important to me. Figuring out what I wanted to do came later, for now my goal was put myself in the best possibly situation so I can be prepared when I do choose a major. My first step was to take those core requirements...

...The goal I have made for myself is to get my associate degree in psychology. I have many reasons of choosing this degree. Psychology has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father use to take me into work with him at the State Hospital. I found myself there a lot growing up, absorbing patients and analyzing different things. Over time it became a part of me; for some reason over time I could connect to each and every person that came through those doors. Looking into the eyes of strangers I felt their pain. My father and I would also go down to the homeless shelter, as he helped with minor things I would sit and listen to each and everyone’s story. Eventually I had a book of photos and a document of each and every person and who they were along with where they came from. That book still to this day gives me inspiration. Many people go into a field for the money that it pays; therefore they set goals for things they really are not passionate in. Personally, I couldn’t finish a goal if it wasn’t something I was extremely passionate in. something that I absolutely wanted rather than felt needed. Before I went and applied for school I sat down for many days writing pro’s and con’s. Eventually a year later it hit me and I was ready. I was ready to get the knowledge I needed the degree I needed to change people’s lives. I knew it was what I was here to do I had grown up over came challenges. Experienced many different things along the way, and I was ready. It was...

...However, in the long run, there is only so far I could excel and there was a wage ceiling. According to the U.S. Government Info Web site, “a high school graduate can expect, on average, to earn $1.2 million; those with a bachelor’s degree $2.1 million; and people with a master’s degree $2.5 million.” (Forbes, 2012). When I became a stay at home mother, I began to think long term. I thought for years on what path I wanted to take in my life. The first step was to figure out what career was best for me and where I would be the greatest asset. I first chose Psychology and after further research, I realized that was the wrong career for me. If I had done more research and asked more questions before I enrolled in Psychology, I would not have wasted so many months. After some soul searching and further exploration, I feel that a bachelor’s degree in Business is best for me. I plan to earn a Master’s in business following my completion of my bachelor’s degree. The process of critical thinking is interrelated to researching career paths because I was considering alternatives and choosing the best alternative for me. I considered Psychology, teaching and business degrees. I ultimately chose a business degree after completing one year in the Psychology program. Ultimately critical thinking skills should be utilized in all aspects of my life. I need to make sure I am using the five steps when watching the news, political advertisements and...

...The benefits of earning a college degree can help you in many ways. It can help you get a job easier. The higher degree you have the more satisfied with your job you will be. During an economic down turn employers often have to cut employees but if you have a college degree then the chances of you being laid-off are substantially lower. Higher degrees tend to earn more, if someone only has a high school diploma then they will earn $32,500 per year while someone with a PhD will earn $100,000 per year. However your field of expertise will also decide how much money make. I chose WVU because it is close to home and is cheaper than going to a college that is out of state.
