...sclerosis. Although, the title of the study appears long, it is complete and accurate. Specifically, the title implies that the qualitative study was conducted on the participants after they received medical help in order to determine their perceptions of the Blue prescription as an intervention for enhancing levels of physical activity. Study Abstract An abstract refers to a brief summary of a concluded research. A proper abstract inspires the reader to scan through the research purposely to learn more about what the investigation was all about. The abstract contains the following primary elements of the research: the problem statement; the significance of physical activity among patients with multiple sclerosis; the methodology; results; and the scientific gap of adopting the Blue prescription as a way of ensuring that patients overcome the problem. Although, the study abstract is comprehensive, and has relevant keywords, it is not complete due to the lack of limitations of the study. Introduction and Study Objectives The introduction to the research study is spot on, in the sense that it offers a deep insight into the topic being studied. The authors began by highlighting the rationale and importance of the health benefits of physical activity among patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS); suggesting that, though previous studies discouraged physical activity among persons having chronic health complications, recent research studies have proven otherwise (Smith et al...

...Motorola Inc. Company Analysis Abstract The mobile phone industry is a very tough market to compete in. The birth of the smartphone brought about a whole new level of competition. Not only is the technology side constantly changing, but marketer must pay attention to the needs, wants, and concerns held by the very people who purchase these “smartphones,” the consumer, because they are ever changing as well. The contents of this paper will demonstrate how Motorola Inc. almost missed the smartphone wave and as a result was headed for disaster. However, being the resilient, smart, and innovative company they are, Motorola bounced back. Reorganizing the company, paired with an effective marketing mix which lead them to segment and properly target a market, and focusing on consumer behaviors such as their needs, wants, and motivation to purchase was the key to Motorola’s dominating comeback. Keywords: Motorola, Motivation, Needs, Consumer, Segmentation, Halo Effect, Enterprise, Demographics, Customer Loyalty. Motorola Mobility Inc. Analysis The name Motorola comes from the word “motor” which implies motion, and "ola" referred to sound. "Sound in motion." (Mullman, 2010) Over the past years Motorola has become a household name, a staple for business communication, and a titan within the world of telecommunications through relentless innovations and the ability to create ease in people’s lives paired with catchy slogans such as “Hello Moto.” Motorola takes pride on being...

...Writing Tips For Economics Research Papers∗ Plamen Nikolov, Harvard University † June 10, 2013 1 General Tips about Writing Style When I read your term papers, I look for your ability to motivate your question using economic logic, your ability to critically analyze the past literature, and your ability to recognize empirical problems as they arise. In particular, it is important that your term paper demonstrates that you are more knowledgeable, analytic, and sophisticated about the economics of health or development economics than we would expect, say, a clever editorial writer for The New York Times to be. You should present evidence, cite literature, explain economic trade-os, and generally approach the issue from an analytic perspective. Sometimes, a student is tempted to stray into opinion-page, journalistic writing in his or her term paper. Do not do this. Teaching good economics writing is one of the goals of the departmental writing requirement and is a valuable lesson for potential thesis writers. You will get a lower grade if your writing is • ungrammatical, • unclear, • journalistic. If you have trouble writing grammatically, please leave yourself some extra time and go to a writing 1 tutor . Clarity is the rst priority in economics writing.

...identification technology through wireless radio frequency recognizing. RFID authentication protocols; ESAP and WISP are vulnerable to the timing attack. Inspired by the monotonically increasing timestamp mechanism in the two protocols, we present a novel mutual security authentication protocol TMAP which can resist desynchronization attacks amongst other things, especially timing attack. The protocol TMAP provides mutual authentication for the server and the reader, decreases the computation both of the tag and the server and operates in the mobile RFID systems, which is promising practical application especially in the mobile internet and cloud computing developing rapidly nowadays. Due to the limitation of energy, computing and storage resources of RFID tags, the mature encryption algorithm and authentication mechanisms in the field of communication security cannot be transplanted to the low cost RFID system directly. The TMAP protocol operates in mobile RFID system on assumption that the channel between the server and the reader is not...

...Cloud Security Computing Name Institution Cloud Security Computing Chapter 1 (7 pages) Section 1 : • Situational Analysis Cloud computing comprise of a disseminated infrastructure made of several interconnected machines whose assets are placed together in a virtual machine (VM) that upholds and controls itself (Marks, 2010). Different from other distributed systems, the architecture of cloud computing is detached from the physical system it depends on. This allows intense flexibility since resources can be removed or added according to real needs. Even though cloud computing is not a critical breakthrough with respect to technology (most technologies used in this paradigm were already accessible); it has changed the usability of technology in most virtual environments (Pfleeger and Pfleeger, 2007). Another business model has surfaced whereby each resource or application is given as a service, accessible on-demand and payable on a per-usage basis on the internet. Another concept in cloud computing is virtualization; a major technology for implementing cloud computing settings (Velte, Velte, and Elsenpeter, 2010). The main objective of virtualization involves polling together various material resources into one virtualized setting through detailed virtualization software, such as Xen and Vmware. The other goal involves creating a sequence of logical or virtual machines using an active selection of resources. Additionally, virtualization...

...(Vlahov, D., Myers, A.H., & al-Ibrahim, M.S. 1990). As healthcare providers, it’s our obligation to study and expand new ways to help keep our patients safe by maintaining a hazardless environment to help prevent inpatient incidents. The topic which is being critiqued is forecasting and evaluating fall danger in a critical inpatient rehab environment. This study analysis will scrutinize the revision and classify its problematic report, reason and study question, literature assessment, and the conceptual/ theoretic framework applied. Problematic Report There are many reasons behind the indications of patient falls, such as: drug use, age, psychological state, and decreased movement. Another indicator of patient falls includes diagnoses like brain damages, strokes, and other orthopedic situations, which have been proven to rise one’s risk to fall. With each environment being different from the next, the risk factors will then vary depending on the setting. Patients in critical therapy signify one of the utmost at risk inhabitants for falls during hospitalization. This may be due to a combination of factors including the primary goal of inpatient rehabilitation, which is to increase patient mobility with a population that has significant cognitive impairments in a short length of stay to facilitate return home (Nakai, A., Akeda, M., & Kawabata, I. 2006). Reason and Study Question What can healthcare providers do to ensure patient safety? How can healthcare providers evaluate...

...School Application Essay Generally speaking, there are two types of application essays for graduate school: the statement of purpose (SOP) and the personal statement. (Refer to FAQs to find out how the two types are different.) Both types let you convince the admissions committee that you are a good fit for the program and can contribute to the department. Although different graduate schools may ask you to answer different prompts, most ask that you write no more than a two-page application essay. The application essay is difficult to write because you must pitch your candidacy to a few department faculty members who read through hundreds – or sometimes thousands – of other essays. In this handout, you will learn how to show these busy readers that you will contribute meaningfully to the university and their department. 1. Relate your past and present experiences to the future. In their application essays, many applicants make the mistake of underemphasizing the future. But it’s important that you show how your past experiences have informed your present work, and how your present work can be extended to the future or raise new research questions. Admissions committees assess many qualified applicants based on whether their research will reflect positively on the university and their department. Committees will think your past and present work is relevant only if it relates directly to your plans for the future. If you don’t know exactly where your current work will take you,...

...scale. Due to this small scale, researchers rely on molecular dynamic simulation which has the given macroscopic flow of equations in which the experimental approach of this study depends. However, seeing the study in theoretical view is still limited. This viewpoint considers the material to be a continuum one in an ensemble-averaged, rather than a spatial-averaged. For a material to be continuum, the molecules must be very small in relation to the problem scale that implies a spatial averaging. A small region of space, which contains many particles, but is still much smaller than the problem scale, must be chosen. Here, quantities which smoothly vary from spatial averaging can be defined using limits. On the other hand, ensemble averaging is used to determine the value of an expected parameter. From a large number of trials in a certain point of space, average quantities are determined at this point for the trials. From a schematic diagram, researchers had found that the thick film region varies linearly with the line from Elasto-hydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL) predictions, while the thin film region levels off progressively as the thickness decreases. The thinner the film is, the more the difference can be seen. Decreasing the thickness in TFL leads to a failure region which kills the lubricant’s mobility. Thus, TFL is the last of the lubrication regimes where the Reynolds equation can be applied. In TFL, lubricating performances can be determined by its ordered layers. This...

...Case Study & Analysis - Apple A note on history of disruptive technology and Apple Computers: Apple computers (Inc.) has been a pioneer in successfully introducing one disruptive technology after another. Beginning in the 1980’s, Apple introduced the first “personal computer” to the market. Although IBM would soon take over this market, Apple still gave birth to idea, and looking 20 years down the road to the introduction of the MacBook, we can see that Apple was able to finally restore its position as a competitor in the PC market. In the case of the PC, the technology was not seen as a direct threat by the main frame and mini computer manufacturers at first, but as the PC grew at a rapid pace compared to the other devices, it was able to replace them. From a hindsight perspective, it is clear that Apple’s near doom in the early 1990’s was due to their inability to capitalize on the disruptive technology of the PC. But taken as a whole, the history of Apple (tied almost directly to the influence of Steve Jobs) is characterized by an ability to capitalize on disruptive technologies that have put them currently at the top of the market for technological innovation. The same goes true for the iPod, iPhone and ipad. Models of disruptive technologies and “increasing returns” - the impact on Apple The success of a disruptive technology product often depend on whether a company is able to produce a fully integrated experience which will survive to become a sustaining technology...

...Case Studies Johnnathan Johnson EDU 620 September 30, 2012 Michael Horn Throughout this six week course, Meeting Individual Needs with Technology, we have researched the spectrums of Assistive Technology available for the individual and the classroom, and researched the different types of disabilities and how the Assistive Technology can aid students in navigating life and succeeding as individuals. Case Study #1 Emily is a five-year-old female student who is visually impaired. Emily has low vision and has some independence. She is able to see letters and numbers with amplification. In the past, Emily has been enrolled in a Head Start class with typical peers. Emily experienced great success in her preschool classroom. She had access to assistive technology that assisted her in participating in most activities within the class. Emily will be starting kindergarten in the fall. She will be in a general education class with typical peers. Emily’s parents, and her IEP team, expect her to be fully included in most activities. Please describe assistive technologies that will allow Emily to have access to grade level content and to participate with her peers in the classroom. For Emily’s case, with her weak vision she would be considered to have a sensory disability, or visual impairment which would affect her academics, and keep her from the average experience of a typical student in a day of the average life. Fortunately, for both visual and auditory sensory...

...Public Intellectual: Meaghan Morris Cultural Studies is not a unified theory but an interdisciplinary field of studies with a diversity of intellectual strands. It is the study of the ways in which culture is constructed and the ways in which it evolves and changes over time (Study.com 2003 – 2017). Cultural analysis focus on the political dynamics of contemporary culture, its historical foundations, defining traits, conflicts, and contingencies. Researchers in this field investigate how cultural practices relate to wider systems of power associated with or operating through social phenomena, such as ideology and class structures. For Stephen Loosley, who was a New South Wales Senator in the 1990s, culture is ‘a complex of social customs,...
