...Tuner Syndrome Sophia Antognini SMA Pima Medical Institute MDA 141 Some diseases and disorders are things that can happen to you later in life, for example skin cancer or hair loss, diabetics or an STD; but there is a good amount of diseases that are related to genetics or hereditary and some of which are even chromosome linked. One disease that is chromosome linked is Turner Syndrome named after Dr. Henry Turner who discovered the disorder in 1938. It occurs in female births only in about 1 in 20,000 births worldwide (National Human Genome Research Institute, 2011) and in the United States 60,000 female births are affected with 800 new cases diagnosed each year ( University of Utah, 2012). Turner Syndrome is caused by a missing X chromosome error during the formation of the egg to embryo. It is not yet known from which one of the parent’s chromosome causes this to happen. Turner Syndrome may be found during a mother’s pregnancy when performing an ultrasound test by observing for signs of poor development such as swollen hands and feet or for an irregular heart beat. (Collin, 2006) Other prenatal testing of cells from the fetus, blood hormone levels of luteinizing all of which can also help determine the suspicion (Zieve, 2008). It can also be detected at birth because of the heart problems and physical features observed. Turner Syndrome mostly affects the visual physical features of the female with few internal health problems. The most common physical malformation is...

...------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Microwave an RF Supplementary Project ------------------------------------------------- Equivalent Impedance of an Antenna Introduction: Antenna impedance is a measure of the resistance to an electrical signal in an antenna. Many factors have an impact on an antenna’s ability to transmit a signal, including the environment that the antenna is in and the design and composition of the antenna. Understanding antenna impedance is important when designing components that connect an antenna to a receiver or transmitter. The ratio to voltage current, which is equal to antenna impedance, is expressed in ohms. The antenna impedance represents the power that is absorbed by the antenna as well as the power that is dispersed by it as it comes into contact with electromagnetic waves. Voltage and Current Relationship: Antenna impedance relates the voltage to the current at the input to the antenna. Let us assume that the antenna has an impedance of 50 ohms. And if a sinusoidal voltage is applied at the antenna terminals with amplitude of 1 volt, then the current will have amplitude of I=VR=150=0.02 A. Since the impedance is a real number, the voltage is in phase with the current. Alternatively suppose the impedance is given by complex number say Z=50+j50 ohms. If Z=50+j50, then the impedance has the magnitude equal to: 502+502=70.71 The phase will be equal to: tan-1ImZReZ=45° ...

...Executive Summary Tivo’s new consumer electronics product has the potential to revolutionalize media consumption habits and the structure of the television industry. The key challenges include: (i) how to improve the value of the product in terms of the benefit to cost ratio and (ii) how to increase awareness of the brand as well as the many different product attributes. We recommend that (i) TiVo improve the value of the product by unbundling it in terms of the various benefits provided and then bundling the individual components with other complementary products. (ii) So as to increase the awareness of the different TiVo products and the brand, we propose to segment the market in terms of the specific customer profile whose needs are aligned to the particular benefit provided by the product. Accordingly, we arrive at a communication plan for the different TiVo products that target different customer segments through a mix of advertising, promotion, distribution and branding strategies. In the following section, we analyze the situation that Tivo is faced with and follow it up with the logical sequence that helped us arrive at the above recommendations. Company Analysis Calyx and Corolla is a new company in the fresh flowers market. They have pioneered the concept of selling fresh flowers by mail.

...Birger v. Tuner The court case Birger v. Tuner was based off the loaning of money from Birger to Tuner. The Birger family claimed that the Tuner family owed them a remaining amount of $, 6,800 (of $ 8,500 Rubles). The courts view contracts as illegal if they were signed in another country. In this court case, the contract was made in the Soviet Union. The Turners had to borrow money because their daughter had to repay losses made at work and would face consequences if she did not repay. In the agreement between the family, the Birger family loaded the Turner family 8,500 Rubles; however, the Soviet Union has a rule that if a contract involves more than 500 Rubles it must be notarized. When the parties sign the contract, there was no witnesses...

...Initial operations strategy Prior to the commencement of the simulation, we examined the 50 days of historical data to glean as much information as we could about the operations. We performed some analysis in Excel and created a dashboard to illustrate various data. Specifically, we regressed the prior 50 days of jobs accepted to forecast demand over the next 2 - 3 months within a 95% confidence interval. The yellow and grey lines represent the maximum and minimum variability, respectively, based on two standard deviations (95%). Exhibit 1: Forecasted and actual demand by Day 50 and Day 270 Our two primary goals at the beginning of the simulation were as follows: 1) Eliminate bottlenecks and increase capacity in order to meet forecasted demand 2) Decrease lead time to 0.25 days in order to satisfy Contract 2 and maximize revenue In order to achieve these goals, we would need to know the capacity and throughput time of the entire system. We used the time required by each machine to process a lot to calculate capacity per station and then capacity of the entire production line (380 kits/day or 6 orders/day). In Exhibit 2 we can observe that the capacity of the production line is given by the station that produces the least number of units per day. Exhibit 2: Capacity of the production line The Decisions We decided to work with the maximum variability of demand because there was a penalty for late jobs and because there was no revenue for orders that took more than “x”...

...In the bloody chamber to what extent is violence attractive? (42 marks) . One could argue that to a certain extent the violent and vulgar Marquis is something that the female narrator to whom is unnamed is portrayed by Carter as being pathetically in love with, and the violent sexual nature that he exudes is something too enticing to let go. Moreover, some critics have said that the relationship between the Marquis and the narrator is much more exciting due to the violence, whereas others have argued the romance between the blind piano tuner and herself is much more endearing and essentially what she is attracted to. Giving its name to the book as well as the first story, "The bloody chamber" is something in which Carter uses as a symbolic purpose to emphasise it being a room where in which violence and pleasure occurs simultaneously. It could be argued that erotic sexual acts and violent desires are inextricably linked and where Carter presents the Marquis as a corrupt individual who turns his wives from pornographic displays into elaborately displayed corpses. One could argue that the act of violence throughout the 'bloody chamber' is solely through sexual intercourse. Something which supposed to be personal and lustful is what Carter portrays as animalistic and almost savage. The loss of virginity is greatly emphasised within the bloody chamber from the narrator herself; the initial language on the train journey "ceaselessly thrusting" " burning cheek" and ecstasy of...

...touring the plant, he noticed many employees yawning, and he found himself doing the same. No one quit. No one complained, They all gave him a smile when he walked by. But no one seemed excited with the work. Alcorn decided to undertake a survey. He appointed a respected worker at each step in the production process to ask each of his or her co-workers questions and to fill in response sheets. One conclusion emerged from the survey : The “fine-tuners”, as Alcorn thought of them, were the most content ones. That is, those who used fine tools and brushes to get the ducks’ heads, expressions, and feathers just right seemed to enjoy their work most. In contrast, the people who planed and cut the wood into blocks, rough – cut the body shapes, spray – painted the body colour, and applied the varnish were all pretty bored. Alcorn had heard about a technique called “job rotation” and decided to try it out. He gave all workers a taste of the “fun” jobs. He asked for volunteers to exchange jobs for one morning a week. The fine-tuners were skeptical, and the other workers were only slightly more enthusiastic....

...takes little practice, should take only a few minutes per string, and will provide a bright, clear sound from your guitar. Anyone who knows how to play the guitar should know how to perform their own string changes on a basic electric guitar. Many music stores offer restringing for a fee, which can add up quickly if you have a number of guitars to maintain. And the need for a string change can happen at any time, not just when it is convenient to run to a store to have them do it for you. To begin, collect all of the tools you will need. These include a wire cutter or pair of pliers capable of cutting wire, a thick bath towel to protect your instrument’s finish while on your working surface, and a new set of strings. You will need a tuner for when you have your strings on, so you can tune them. To remove fingerprints and oils from the fret board and off of the finished areas, you will want to use a good guitar polish and a soft cloth. Furniture polish is too heavy, and is inappropriate for your guitar. Now that you have collected all the necessities, find yourself a flat place to work, such as a table, workbench, or even your floor. This is where your bath towel will be useful. Many guitars are expensive and have handsome finishes on them. You will be moving your guitar around a...

...later affected our lives today and caused other events to happen. You would be amazed of how one person can make a huge difference in our world today. I believe Nat Turner took a stand by leading one of the most successful, deadliest, but most effective slave revolts in history. Nathanial “Nat” Tuner was born on October 2, 1800 on a Plantation owned by Benjamin Turner in South Hampton Virginia, which was named for the borough of Southampton in England. Southampton County was formed in 1749 from Isle of Wight County, and part of Nansemond County which was added later. Who later Taught him how to read, write, and religious ways. When Benjamin Turner died he imeideiatly became property of his brother. Turner was hired out three times as a child and hired out to John Travis and became a preacher and a leader of slaves on Benjamin’s Turner’s plantation and the South Hampton Neighborhood. Tuner claimed that he was “chosen by god to lead them by bondage”. While still a young child he was overheard speaking about events that happen before he was born. This marked him in the eyes of the people as “intended for great purpose.” This resulted in him spending his time to fasting and praying. Tuner also believed that he received his messages from god through visions and signs in nature. “To a mind like mine, restless, inquisitive and observant of everything that was passing, it is easy to suppose that religion was the subject to which it would be directed,” said Turner, who regularly read...
