The T ILEWORLD scenario we have chosen comprises an 8 by 8 grid, 1000 units of simulation time, and a real-time knob, i.e. factor, of 1. Thus, 1 unit of simulation time should be about 1 second. The grid elements change, e.g. holes and tiles appear and disappear, every 50 time units with a probability of 40%. All agents we tested had a scan range of 5 grid elements, limited, but sufficient fuel, and were planning for two goals simultaneously. Within our implementation of T ILEWORLD scanning requires intensive message exchange. The experiments were run on 2 Ultra 2 machines equipped with about 200 MB each. Each experiment consisted of 15 runs. We first put our algorithm to test using one single agent in the T ILEWORLD....

...According to Jean Piaget’s learning theory (1952), children are active learners who master concepts by progressing through three levels of knowledge; concrete, pictorial, and abstract. Therefore, the use of manipulatives will allow the learners to explore concepts at first and then building understanding and internalizing mathematics processes and procedures. Through the use of concrete manipulatives in teaching mathematics, conceptual understanding can be develop and provide a strong foundation for learners mastering mathematical concepts. The concrete manipulative that will be used in this study is the tile spacers. Tile Spacers is a concrete manipulative device and are little rubbery “positive (+) and negative (-) shaped”. Positive tiles have a value of +1 and negative tiles have a value of -1. A neutral pair consisting of one positive tile and one negative tile has a value of zero. A neutral field consists of many neutral pairs Tallman...

...Project Quality Management Introduction Purpose of the Quality Management Plan The Project Quality Management Plan has herein been created to document the necessary information required to effectively guarantee the quality of the delivered project. It defines the project’s quality policies, procedures, criteria for and areas of application, and roles, responsibilities and authorities. The primary quality criteria identified for the project is aesthetics and fitness for use. Recall the motive for the project: to modernize the family kitchen due to outdated appliances, old cupboards and pipes in poor condition, and chipping paint issues. Therefore it is quintessential to deliver a high quality project that meets the family’s desire for a better looking/functioning kitchen. There are also a few structural criteria that need to be assured for parts of the project to prevent breakdown, and unnecessary wear and tear. Project Quality Management Overview Name | Role | Quality Responsibility | Mr. Jones | Project Manager/Sponsor | Quality Mentoring & Audits | Mrs. Jones | Project Sponsor/Team Member | Quality Audits | Zak and Dan | Labourers | Meet Quality Standards | Quality Management Plan The Quality Management Plan consists of 3 parts: Quality Planning, Quality Assurance, and Quality Control.

...should be redone with an appropriate recording device. Differences in light levels & other colors in Charlie’s enclosure could have distorted her displayed patterns. For concrete evidence, the experiment should be redone with proper recording equipment, accurate light measuring tools, and realistically colored substrates. All other substrates and surfaces should be removed from the tank to isolate Charlie and the colored substrate. The experiment should also be conducted with multiple octopuses to determine if Charlie’s behaviors consistently appeared in all test octopuses. Future assessments could determine if cephalopods have difficulty distinguishing between solid colors and pattern-colored stimuli. Further research could determine the minimum distance cephalopods need to distinguish color. Moreover, there is great potential to work on how cephalopods interact with polarized light (Cronin, 2003). Future investigations could test if there is a relationship between polarized light and detecting color, possibly pursuing intraspecific communication (Cronin, 2003). Finally, there is the possibility of human error considering the project’s observations were conducted by only one person, which may lead to bias in observations...

...“Why Dal-Tile, Inc. is a Good Company to Work For” Carolena Brown Prairie View A&M University Dr. Dyck, Human Resource Management May 1, 2014 What makes a great place to work? There are many ways to evaluate a workplace, but in my opinion, a great place to work is one that motivates the passion of workers and releases their talent. People always aim to work for companies in which they feel important. Not all companies are a great place to work. But there are a few. A great place to work doesn’t always revolve around perks and benefits. It’s not all about the bonuses and pay. Most employees want to feel happy for being respected by their bosses, confident in their job and valued for their expertise. I am writing this paper about Dale-Tile, Inc. From my research every employee in the company is accepted for the person they are, they have job satisfaction and is comfortable in the workplace. The company offers numerous opportunities to publicize great efforts of colleagues and managers. It provides recognition for extraordinary performance and motivates others to follow the examples, and best practices that help others succeed. Dal-Tile company's workplace is built through the day-to-day relationships that employees experience. The employees believe that they work for a great organization and are consistently appreciated. No company is ever going to have 100 percent of the employees’ that are satisfied with their work environment. There are always going to be employees...

They have been a staple in Portuguese culture for the last five centuries and the tradition of their production and use is highly prevalent in Portuguese colonies the world over. In Portugal, azulejos1 are found on the interior and exterior of churches, palaces, ordinary houses and even train stations or subway stations. They constitute a major aspect of Portuguese architecture and are applied on walls, floors and even ceilings. Having said that, the Portuguese colonisation of Goa has left a major impact on the culture and the lifestyle transcending generations, fads and modern western influences. When the Portuguese left Goa after Liberation2 in 1961 the art form was completely abolished and then revived in Goa in 1998 by a few Goan artists. Turi Azulejos is the brainchild of Shankar Turi who participated in the revival of...
