...My Research Paper for this semester is based on Beach Music from the Carolina’s that some call “Carolina Soul”. The bands I am covering are from the Beach Music / Rhythm & Blues scene that got their start playing local clubs in the 1960’s. My Dad is a Beach & Shag music DJ (He was inducted into the Beach Music DJ Hall of Fame in 2012 http://www.abscdj.com/djhalloffame/index.htm ) so I can remember as a kid hearing this type of music all the time. My parents had a party room in the basement and I can remember people coming over all the time and Dad playing music in the basement. My parents also went to a lot of Beach & Shag music events and every once in a while I went along too. One of the events I remember going to was the Beach Musical Festival held at the Metrolina Fairgrounds....

...The Who Before enrolling in American Popular Music, I had decent background on a fair amount of bands and artists we have talked about in class, including, but not limited to, Eric Clapton, The Beatles, and The Eagles. These artists are some of my Dad’s favorite, so therefore I learned a lot about them from him; however, he has never been a fan of The Who. Therefore, I was rather excited when I was assigned a research paper on The Who; a band who I really knew nothing about before American Popular Music. In the following paper, I will provide details about The Who’s individual band members’ lives, as well as information in relation to the band in general. The Who had four main members: Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon. In addition to being the band’s guitarist, Pete Townshend took on the roll as the primary song writer. The most interesting fact I found about Townshend, is that he owns his own book publishing company. He actually published a book of his own called “Horse’s Neck” which consisted of a variety of short stories. Townshend has maintained a musical interest throughout his life, even after The Who broke up in 1983 (The Who Official Band Website). Roger Daltrey has always been a passionate musician; to the point where he even designed many of the bands guitars (The Who Official Band Website). Recently, Daltrey’s passion for music resurfaced. According to Mayer Nissim, a reporter for Digital Spy, “Roger Daltrey has confirmed that he...

...General Certificate of Education January 2013 Sociology 1191 SCLY2 Education with Research Methods; Health with Research Methods Unit 2 Final Mark Scheme Mark schemes are prepared by the Principal Examiner and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation meeting attended by all examiners and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation meeting ensures that the mark scheme covers the students‟ responses to questions and that every examiner understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for the standardisation meeting each examiner analyses a number of students‟ scripts: alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed at the meeting and legislated for. If, after this meeting, examiners encounter unusual answers which have not been discussed at the meeting they are required to refer these to the Principal Examiner. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of students‟ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year‟s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.

...Article Applied Biosafety, 11(4) pp. 228-230 © ABSA 2006 Position Paper on the Use of Ultraviolet Lights in Biological Safety Cabinets Jyl Burgener Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis, Indiana Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review information available on the use, risks and benefits of using Ultraviolet (UV) lights in Biological Safety Cabinets (BSC) and set forth a position based on the risk and benefits. Background Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a form of nonionizing radiation and behaves in accordance with the laws and principles of geometric optics. Electromagnetic radiation can be described as a “wave” that consists of an electric field and a magnetic field. Electromagnetic radiation is usually characterized by wavelength and frequency or photon energy. The term wavelength refers to a distance in a line of advance of a wave from any point to a like point on the next wave; it corresponds to the distance traveled by the wave during one cycle. A wavelength is usually measured in angstroms or nanometers (nm). The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) has divided the UV spectrum into three wavelength bands, primarily due to biological effects. The 315-400 nm wavelength band is designated as UV-A. 280-315 nm is designated as UV-B, and 100-280 nm as UV-C. Wavelengths below 180 nm are of little practical biological significance since the atmosphere readily absorbs them. Sources of UV-A are used for dentistry and tanning, UVB is used for fade testing and photocuring...

...Dissertation Phase-I: Synopsis Topic: OPTIMUM THRESHOLDING USING FUZZY TECHNIQUES Guided by- Presented by- Mr.Puneet Manocha Anupama (Roll No.1600872) Assit. Professor IIIrd Semester, M.Tech (ICE) OBJECTIVE: * To review different research papers based on Fuzzy Thresholding. * To apply fuzzy thresholding technique to an image * To calculate optimum threshold using Gamma membership function. LITERATURE REVIEW: Introduction: Typical computer vision applications usually require an image segmentation-preprocessing algorithm as a first procedure. At the output of this stage, each object of the image, represented by a set of pixels, is isolated from the rest of the scene. The purpose of this step is that objects and background are separated into non-overlapping sets. There are various techniques of segmentation and among them threshold is much simpler than other segmentation techniques. Usually, this segmentation process is based on the image gray-level histogram. In that case, the aim is to find a critical value or threshold. Through this threshold, applied to the whole image, pixels whose gray levels exceed this critical value are assigned to one set and the rest to the other. For a well-defined image, its histogram has a deep valley between two peaks. Around these peaks the object and background...
