Interprocess communication (IPC) is a group of programming interfaces which enable a software developer or programmer to coordinate different tasks and activities among different program operations which execute simultaneously in the operating system. IPC enables a program to handle many user requests at the same time. An user request results in execution of multiple processes in the operating system. The processes must communicate with one other to carry out their tasks. The interfaces of IPC aids in communication,data exchange among the different processes. There are advantages and disadvantages present in every method of IPC. A single program can ...

Raman spectroscopy is dependent on scattering of light. When light interacts with matter, energy exchange can take place through absorption, simulated emission, Raman scattering or spontaneous emission. In Raman scattering, the emitted photons have less energy and lower frequency in comparison with the absorbed photons. Some energy of the emitted photons is transferred to the molecules. Raman spectroscopy is a method which collects the chemical fingerprints associated with molecules. Every molecule has different levels of vibrational energy and the emitted photons experience shift in their wavelengths. The wavelength shifts are collected,examined and analyzed for sample identification. Raman spectroscopy ...

Management: What Must be Improved?

At the present time, the use of Global Positioning System or GPS, is becoming significant in various applications. Through the use of satellite systems, this technology is able to pinpoint the location of a certain object or person (Wickens, Mavor, Parasuraman, & McGee 90). The accuracy was proven to be high, making it suitable for communication and surveillance. Moreover, it can also be used for navigation. When using a set of satellites, GPS can determine a certain way to reach the other locations, as long as the satellites are within the range of the distance of the designated places (Wickens, ...

Communication between people takes place every time and everywhere. Language is extremely powerful tool which helps people to understand each other's needs, wishes, expectations, convey meaningful messages and just reach a desired consensus. However, it often occurs that the way people speak, how they behave during a conversation, is much more important than what they actually say. The function of our facial expressions is “to convey delicate shades of emotion and intention” (Burling, 2015), as it is much easier than to do with a language. Likewise, observing people speaking or reacting to the co-speaker, not even hearing the words, ...

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is the most encountered cardiac rhythm disorder in clinical practice. It affects <1% of persons aged <60 years. This prevalence increases to 10% in persons aged >80 years (Amerena, Walters, Mirzaee and Kalman, 2013). Atrial fibrillation is a key differential diagnosis in patients presenting with chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, light-headedness, and syncope (Cruickshank, 2008). This paper will examine the differential diagnosis, pathophysiology, and paramedic implications of atrial fibrillation in relation to the case of a 43-year old male who presents with features and ECG findings of atrial fibrillation. It will first examine ...

1. Biot’s respiration named after Camille Biot is an abnormal ataxic breathing pattern, where rapid series of shallow respiration are followed by a period of apnea. In order to known how AMP kinase, knock down leads to Biot respiration in mice; it is necessary to known how AMP kinase affects respiratory rate. AMP kinase is a metabolic sensor and is activated in response to stretching of the lung alveolar cells and other stressors. During respiration, the lung goes through cycles of expansion and contraction (Budinger et al., 2008). When the alveolar cells stretch during expansion, the 5′ AMP-activated ...

Cycle of communication within and between neurons

The understanding of the communication process between and within neurons or the nerve cells helps us to gain knowledge of the functioning of the human brain. Neurons gather information relating to an organism’s internal state as well as the external environment continuously and perform an evaluation of this information and the coordination of appropriate activities depending on the situation and person’s needs. Communication between and within neurons occur through the transmission of nerve impulses, which in essence are coded signals produced by certain stimulus along the neuronal membrane. Communication within neurons occurs through a chemical process whereby ...

If the police tap into the local telephone exchange of AT&T to know when a certain phone number becomes active with users without a warrant, the case will face a very difficult suppression motion. There is a safeguard against such processes; the Fourth Amendment. Hypothetically, if the police attempt to stake out a suspect’s location and try to get information whenever someone makes a call from the property, a warrant becomes mandatory. However, it is surprising the courts find that a warrant is unnecessary. The interpretation of the law should coexist along with the context in order to ...

Introduction

The large production of bisphenol A (BPA) in the world has been documented because of the increased usage of the same in various industries. The most critical industries that have been using this BPA include those manufacturing containers for foods and beverages, cigarette filters, thermal receipts as well as paper currency. With such a huge provision, it is critical that the basis of such developments only emanates from making the right choices over its uses because its production to a total of 2.7 million tons could be disastrous to the body. The main reasoning here is that the chemical ...

Vid30 complex participation in the degradation of CDC25 in yeast and their role in Ras/ cAMP/ PKA pathway

Background: Unicellular organisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae in its total life cycle is exposed to diverse and changing nutrient conditions. Thus, in order to survive and achieve a competitive advantage, it has adapted itself such that it not only uses the wide range of available nutrient sources but also the sources that are nutrient rich. It mainly uses fructose and glucose by rapidly fermenting to alcohol. In response to these nutrient conditions, the intracellular trafficking transcription and turnover of protein from nutrient transporters (e.g. Hxts) get regulated. Therefore, when the availability of the glucose increases, the expression of low- ...

Mood is an aspect of daily life that can often make diagnosis of mood disorders incredibly tricky. The first article titled, “Mood self-assessment in bipolar disorder: a comparison between patients in mania, depression, and euthymia” examines ...

I/O modules are normally the third most vital constituent of computer systems after the memory and the CPU. The requirements for computer systems are to have an efficient means for receiving inputs and delivering outputs. Computer systems have a variety of peripherals that deliver data at different speeds, in a wider variety of sizes and at different formats. External devices are generally not connected to the expansion or the systems bus structure of computer systems (Tarnoff 350). The problem arises in that I/O modules are slower than the RAM and the CPU, but a handful are actually faster. The ...

While most of us would agree that the government affects us in areas normally thought as involving state authority such as tax collection, foreign policies, and criminal justice; the state also affects us in myriad smaller ways that often do not attract our attention or are not synonymous with government action. To be sure, the following is a description of some of the areas I found where the government has an underlying influence in my life. Normally I am awoken each day by my alarm which is an app on my mobile phone. The alarm clocks syncs via the ...

Vestibular Projections

Vestibular projections in the central nervous system consist of vestibular end organs which communicate with the brain stem and the cerebellum via the vestibular branch of the eighth cranial nerve. These nerves are also connected to the auditory fibers. Thus damage caused to these structures can cause both vestibular and auditory disturbances. The vital function of the vestibular system is to coordinate head and eye movements. The ability of the eye to stay focused on an object even while the head is moving is brought about by the vestibular system.

Vestibular Cochlear Nerve

The vestibulo cochlear nerve or the auditory nerve is ...

Two of the more frustrating aspects of living in a modern, information society and the constant need to “have internet access” everywhere, all the time are finding a strong, and stable signal to provide access and the power drain to your device that results from the constant searching for and connecting to an accessible signal. One emerging technology that is working hard to resolve these two issues is known as passive Wi-Fi, or as it is more informally known, “backscattering” (Harris, 2016). Passive Wi-Fi refers to a technology that is being developed at the University of Washington that is ...

The main aim of businesses is to accomplish their mission (Ireland 34).

WR Assignment Guiding Question: How does the communication styles effect relationships Integrated Summary: Communication or conversational style is the way in which people interact and communicate with others through verbal and non-verbal mediums. It is the purposeful way of sharing information in which the receiver may not exactly understand what the communicator has to say. It may be due to cultural or language differences (Gareis, Merkin & Goldman, 2011). Hence, stress, noise, misunderstandings and conflicts need to be removed from communication process and channel to improve the bond of friendship or acquaintance or relationship between the people. Communication style ...

Teenage boys may feel that girls are aliens, because they seem different, but in Neil Gaiman’s short Sci-Fi story, “How to talk to girls at parties”, the girls really are from another planet. The author humorously recounts the experience of two teenage boys, Vic and Enn, whose lack of experience around girls and nascent sexuality, cause them to ignore the visible signs that the girls they meet at a party are not from this world. Throughout the story, Enn, from whose perspective the story is told, is so focused on trying to talk to the girls he meets ...

Sensors detect an input event and control an output event. The output often requires different timing than that of the input event. Sometimes several inputs must jointly produce an output event. In other words, logic alters the raw sensor signal so that it is directly useful for controlling local action in response to sensed events (Ouzounov et al., 2006). A sensor is an interactive application; it expresses interest in an event by defining a sensitive ‘region' and an event type. For example, if a sensor wishes to receive events directed to a geographical object, it can define its region ...

Bill Beane on Evaluation of Players

Bill Bean introduced sabermetrics in baseball, an approach that used data to capture players' performance, like hits, catchers and getting bases. He incorporated data from the industry, software developers, and the New York Exchange, over a long time, and generated relationships that guided his approach to signing players. He did not consider speed and strength (though he did not decant them), rather, he was looking at the qualities that made the player different. All major scouts went around the country, looking at high school players and stars, but Bill had noticed that players assigned straight out of high school ...

How RFID technology is developed, adopted, and implemented?

Development The development of RFID technologies has its origins in the 19th-century discoveries of electronic inductance and electromagnetism. Detection systems such as RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) were precursors to the RFID technology. The paper about the technology behind RFID was presented in 1948. Radio Frequency was used in the IFF (Identify Friend or Foe) systems deployed by the British in World War II. Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) to detect removal of articles without purchasing is in use since the 1960s. The UPC (Universal Product Code, which is a barcode) is the first passive auto-identification system. RFID is an ...

Drawing from the seminar presentation, I have gathered that the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signals various pathway functions and regulates critical functions in the placenta such as mitochondrial respiration and nutrient transport. Placental amino acid transporter activities are significantly decreased in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) with recent experimental research evidence suggesting that the changes directly contribute to restricted fetal growth (Jansson, 2016). In this case, placental nutrient sensing is seen to have a pivotal role in the modulation on resource allocation between the mother and fetus thus affecting overall fetal growth, preventing overgrowth of the fetus and ensuring ...

Introduction

Taking measurements may require the conversion of the measured quantity to electrical quantity. Transducers are devices or elements that perform this function by transforming physical quantities such as quantities like sound, light, or temperature into electrical signals like current, voltage, or capacity. Transducers consist of inputs, sensing elements, transduction elements, signal processing, and electrical outputs. The inputs known as the measurands are the quantities, states, or properties that are to be translated into electrical outputs. The sensing elements accurately measure these input energies and sends the information to the transduction elements to be transformed into the desired form. The ...

Analysis of an Article about Compensation

Business Analysis of an Article about Compensation Davis, DeBode, and Ketchen (2013) have articulated various management theories that have a bearing on CEO compensation. How much and in what manner to pay a CEO is arguably one of the most important decisions a Board of Directors has to make. The decision would convey strong signals to the external as well as internal environment. Competing firms and the industry would be likely to benchmark the CEO’s compensation to their own. Shareholders would be keen to assess how the CEO compensation translates to a return on their investment in the ...

Life today is not as difficult as it used to be during the earlier times. During those times when technology was not yet fully developed, people spend too much time in doing their activities. Not only time was extensively spent but also energy. Sometimes, this resulted to problems due to human errors. To perform the activities effectively and efficiently, development of technology is conducted. Development and research activities have led to various technologies today. Thanks to technology and the continuous development, human activities are done easier. This purpose of technology has made people to have great dependence with it ...

Homeostasis refers to any self-regulating process by which biological systems attempt to maintain stability despite changes in the external and internal environment (Sturmberg & Martin, 2013). Biological systems interact with each other to maintain a suitable condition of the internal environment for the survival of the living organism. The biological systems of the living organism are in a state of constant change. The regulation of the systems within a given range of various conditions helps to keep the living organisms alive and healthy. The systems also interact with the external environment in different ways. The conditions of the external environment ...

Philosophy

Introduction Man has always gazed at the stars and attempted to answer the question about the existence of any life anywhere else in the Universe apart from Earth. While for the better part of the first two thousand years After Christ, there was a popular assumption that Man is unique in the Universe, the acceptance of the ‘Copernican Principle’ (Tyson, 2003) in the 1500s, when Nicholas Copernicus put the sun back in its proper place at the center of the solar system, propelled the notion that man may not be unique after all. Given the fact that the three ...

After carrying out an experiment for the 3-Lead electrode placements, it was discovered that the distance between the electrodes could further be reduced for efficiency. A smaller sized sensor node being powered by a rechargeable battery would then be developed based on the newly identified electrode positions. A dynamic method of controlling power is also automatically installed in the sensor node for ...

Signal filtering is one of the most fundamental practices in signal processing. The filters are widely incorporated in the signal processing circuits due to their indomitable role in data acquisition and also to get rid of all the unnecessary signals and frequencies which interfere with the quality of the main signal. These unwanted signals are commonly referred to as noises. Once the signal has been filtered, they are then processed as either analog or digital depending on the signals application. Some signals are however weak and thus require an amplification circuit so that the filtering circuits can be consistent. ...

Media innovation

Introduction Innovation in the simplest definition can be viewed as a new idea, product or a method of performing a specific task. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines innovation as the “act or process of introducing new ideas, devices or methods (Merriam-webster.com, 2016). Innovation is the use of improved resolutions for countering new challenges, untended needs or fulfilling the already established markets better. One of the most important market that human race has delved in is the acquiring of information. Despite decades of improvement in the communication sector, the need for doing more to satisfy the informational needs of the population ...

The invention of the scanning tunnelling microscope, in 1982 resulted in the emergence of a whole new category of microscopic techniques. All these techniques fall under the family of probe microscopy, which basically involves the interaction of a sample with the sharp tip of a probe at distances of the order of a few μm to a few nm. The atomic force microscope (AFM) is one such scanning probe microscope that builds an image that describes the surface topology of a sample based on the atomic forces of interaction between the tip of the probe and the sample surface. ...

The article focussed on the breeding behaviours of emperor penguins that are recently discovered with the help of satellites. Mostly it is believed that penguins lay their eggs on sea ice that is fast and stable and that remains intact under the chick fledge. Fretwell and co-workers conducted this study on forty-six colonies emperor penguins. The recent observation revealed that few colonies of emperor penguins breed on ice-shelves instead of sea ice. Due to rapid climate changes and the incidence of ice melting the penguin population has declined and very close to extinction. It is a big concern that ...

Question One

System An estimate of between 200 to 1000 migrants and homeless people has set camp “along the railroads tracks west of Quincy, FL, and South of US 90.” The camp in question sits on a ground that is susceptible to tornadoes. Specifically, the ground is marshy coupled with the fact that it has been “in the path of several tornadoes” in the past. The underlying problem is that the evacuation plan and other emergency response mechanisms might not be effective in the event of an emergency. This potential failure is attributable to the fact that the camp residents might ...
