...How are scholars able to find out how early people with no written records lived? Scholars use several techniques in order to establish and conclude a portrayal of early people’s lives, before any written records. They simply rely on findings that were left behind. Tools, bones, graveyards, hunting equipment, as well as weapons, art on pottery or cave walls, are some of the prehistoric finds, to name a few. These findings, when examined can tell scholars a lot about peoples lifestyle pre-written records. For example, by examining bones, a scholar would determine if people were malnourished, or whether they knew how to take care of broken bones or used any healing methods. What was prehistoric society like around the Amazon? Populations from North American and Europe did not find the prehistoric Amazon population interesting. The cultural differences were too vast, as opposed to societies around the Amazon. The Amazonian people believed in coexisting with their gods and relied heavily on their dangerous environment. I suppose the Amazon was a threat to societies around it, since they had not developed an acquired set of skills to survive. What ensured European domination in the New World? The Europeans were able to dominate the New World, by having armies that would take over natives ground, and have their own people settle. They also were in advantage knowing how to trade, how to build weapons, which were made of steel, as opposed to native culture who used leather, wood...

...American InterContinental University MGMT422-1301A-01: Professor William Becker February 27, 2013 The wisest choice for owning a retail electronics business is the sole proprietor. The reason I say that is due to the fact that a retail business is a little business; therefore, the proprietor will own the entire company. An advantage of the sole proprietor is that it is simple to start, and it is not too costly. The owner makes all of the decisions about his/her company, and may not have to file taxes due to the fact that they are able to state their earnings on their tax forms (Longenecker, Moore, Palich, & Petty, 2005). The drawbacks of the sole proprietor are that the owner is responsible for everything involving his/her business which can lead to bad management because the proprietor does not have all of the skills that are needed to run a business. The wisest choice for owning a software developer is the partnership. With this type of company, expert wisdom is crucial with software production and managing, and each of the partners should possess this knowledge. The advantages of a partnership are the knowledge that is brought forth, and it is quite easy to do taxes (Gagel, 2008). The drawbacks of the partnership are that each person is liable for the business. This type of business arrangement is not easy to dissolve, and can lead to very heated arguments. The advertising genre can be run by the corporation. Within advertisement, the particular company...

...American InterContinental University FINA310-1301A-02: Professor Michael James February 26, 2013 I am currently employed by a huge investment company and I wrote a position article on the business’s way of investing for small investors. This article produced e-mail answers from possible customers, and my business wants me to answer their questions. A few of these e-mails have labeled investments in the stock market as a no-gain situation. Potential customers want an explanation that analyzes the primary thought concerning risks in these kinds of positions. Within this assignment, I’m going to talk about the cons that small investors deal with in the stock market as well as the pros that are sometimes given to these small investors. Some of these issues that I will discuss are from my past experiences. After I invested in stock, I had a family member take care of them because she did it at no charge. Some cons in terms of small investors investing in the stock market are that a lot of time is wasted studying the market. In doing this, the investors lose valuable time to stay aware of things. An individual that previously invested in a stock market usually will get data the first day, and the small investor may not get data for a few days after. Small investors do not possess a professional mindset regarding investments. Small investors don’t invest long-term, they focus on bartering. Small investors might opt to do incorrect things at incorrect times. ...

...some of the basic principles leading up to our use of logarithms. Unless otherwise stated, we will be working solely with logarithms that are in base 10 (Briggsian) . Some useful relationships to remember when working with logarithms are: 1. y = 10x then log10 ( y ) = x 2. log ( xy ) = log ( x ) + log ( y ) ⎛x⎞ 3. log ⎜ ⎟ = log ( x ) − log ( y ) ⎝ y⎠ ( ) 4. 10 log x n = n10 log( x ) Intensity Level In the last lesson, we defined the time average intensity in relation to the time average or rms pressure as well as the maximum acoustic pressure. p2 p2 I = = max 2ρc ρc The intensity is a useful quantity because it quantifies the power in an acoustic wave, but because of the large variation in magnitudes of Intensity, it is more useful to use logarithms to compare intensities. The below table demonstrates the wide variation in Intensity for typical sounds in air. We will start by defining a new quantity, L, the intensity level, which has units of dB. I L ≡ 10 log I0 where: is the time average intensity of the sound wave.

These voltage signals, which are functions of time, are referred to as sound pressure signals. It is necessary to have knowledge of the frequency composition of these signals. Fourier Series and the Fourier Transform can be used to mathematically relate functions in the time and frequency domains. The use of these relationships in the practical frequency analysis of signals will not be discussed in detail in this course. A less mathematical and more physical description of elementary frequency analysis is given in this section. The purpose of an elementary frequency analysis is to determine how the “strengths” of the components of the sound pressure are distributed as a function of frequency. Consider first...

...Introduction: A network which freely passes desired band of frequencies while almost suppress other band of frequencies is called filter. This type of network was first examined by G.A Campbell and O.J Zobel of bell telephone laboratories. Filters are networks that process signals in a frequency-dependent manner. The basic concept of a filter can be explained by examining the frequency dependent nature of the impedance of capacitors and inductors. In filters, attenuation changes suddenly as the frequency is varied. Thus, filters have ability to discriminate between signals which differ in frequency. Filters are widely employed in signal processing and communication systems in applications such as channel equalization, noise reduction, radar, audio processing, video processing, biomedical signal processing, and analysis of economic and financial data. For example in a radio receiver band-pass filters, or tuners, are used to extract the signals from a radio channel. In an audio graphic equalizer the input signal is filtered into a number of sub-band signals and the gain for each sub-band can be varied manually with a set of controls to change the perceived audio sensation. In a Dolby system pre-filtering and post filtering are used to minimize the effect of noise. In hi-fi audio a compensating filter may be included in the preamplifier to compensate for the non-ideal frequency-response characteristics of the speakers. Filters are also used to create perceptual audio-visual effects...

...The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation. The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit. Consider the following scenario: Lucy Shafer wants to borrow $100,000 to expand her dog-breeding...

...Week 2 iLab Report DeVry University NETW360: Wireless Technologies and Services ANTENNA TYPES AND COMPUTE RF BEHAVIOR Submitted to: Professor Date: 1/18/14 Antenna Types Directions: Provide the basic differentiating characteristic of each of the three antenna types listed below. Also provide that typical use of the antenna type. 1. Omnidirectional: The basic differentiating characteristic of an omnidirectional antenna is that it radiates its signal out equally in all directions depending on the antenna’s orientation. If the antenna is placed vertically the signal will radiate horizontally equally in all directions and if the antenna is placed horizontally the signal will radiate vertically equally in all directions. Omnidirectional antennas have 360 degree coverage, but not completely equally in all directions as I will discuss next. The omnidirectional antenna is most commonly used in a vertical position so that it can radiate most of its signal outwardly in horizontal streams on both sides of its location, however a small part of the signal will radiate up and down vertically. Although, it is most commonly used in the vertical position, an omnidirectional antenna can also be used in a horizontal position to radiate most of that signal vertically (up/down) with a small portion of the signal radiating sideways (horizontally). The reason for this mismatch of signal strength due to the vertical/horizontal placement of the antenna is because the signals...

...41 Manhole Flotation Introduction The proper functioning of a sewer system is dependent to a large degree on the performance of its appurtenances, and especially its manholes. As with many buried structures, the proper design of manholes should take into account the effect of the water table and its specific effect on installation and operating conditions. Figure 1 Manhole Installations Cross Section of Extended Base Manhole Installation The Buoyancy Concept From a fluid dynamics standpoint, the buoyant force acting on a submerged object is equal to the weight of fluid which that object displaces. In the case of a buried structure or manhole, this concept is applicable when a high ground water table or other subaqueous condition exists. As with the design of buried pipe, flotation should be checked when conditions such as the use of flooding to consolidate backfill, flood planes or future man-made drainage changes are anticipated. Extended Base Cross Section of Smoothwall Manhole Installation Manhole Buoyancy Analysis Vertical manhole structures of two types (Figure 1) are generally constructed, and each type should be considered when analyzing the flotation potential. The first case to be considered is a structure in which the base does not extend past the walls of the manhole. This structure will be called a smooth-wall manhole installation. Smooth-wall manholes utilize the weight of the structure itself and the downward frictional resistance of the soil surrounding...
