A recommendation for a student going to college based on the above table would be the ASUS notebook. I would recommend this based on a number of things. The first and foremost being the low price point for a notebook. I recommend a notebook over a desktop for a student because of its mobility. A student could take it to the library, to class, to study partners’ homes, coffee shops, etc. For the price a student would get all the necessary functionality out of it. The storage space is on the lower side. However 500GB is plenty of space to store Microsoft Office documents, including PowerPoint presentations, through the lifetime of his or her college career. The Processor and RAM is more than adequate to run...

An author wouldn’t need very much in the way of power or storage. A cheap all-in-one computer or basic laptop would be fine for their needs. When it comes to video game developers, they need computers with lots of space and lots of power along with a high end video card. They will most likely have ordered a custom built computer with terabytes of space and the newest high end processor. CAD operators also need lots of space and power for the work they do. A computer with a terabyte of space and a high end processor along with six to eight gigabytes of RAM should be fine. References Newegg.com. Retrieved January...

...The area of each square is therefore 2*2=4 and the volume of each column will be 4 times the height of the right-right corner. The 6 points are therefore (4,2) xy=8 volume=32 (4,4) xy=16 volume=64 (6,2) xy=12 volume=48 (6,4) xy=24 volume=96 (8,2) xy=16 volume=64 (8,4) xy=32 volume=128 The sum of these numbers is height of a stack of columns would be 108 The sum of the volumes is 432 To check the arithmetic I also multiply 108 time 4 to get 432. Since this is a monotonically increasing situation this estimate will be greater than the actual volume. I will assume that the midpoint rule will also use the same number of sub-divisions. The points are therefore as follows x is from the set{3,5,7} and y is from the set{1.3} (3,1) xy = 3 volume=12 (3,3) xy = 9 volume=36 (5,1) xy = 5...

An automated microscope (slide scanner) scans an entire slide and stores a digital image. Then the digital image can be viewed, managed, and analyzed using a computer. There are computer algorithms that can numerically analyze the stored digital images and produce cheaper and faster results compared to manual slide analyses. b) (2 points) Discuss one advantage of WSI technology. WSI technology has reduced turn-around time. Diagnosis and numerical analyses like counting can be done automatically and faster using computer algorithms. c) (2 points) Discuss one disadvantage of WSI technology. It is a new technology. It...

...This photograph is of Ed Mirvish in front of his store, Honest Ed's, on the corner of Bathurst and Bloor St. West in Toronto and was taken in 1983. The photograph was taken by Tibor Kolley for the Globe and Mail and was sourced on their website from the news article on the history of Honest Ed's. This image interested me because of Honest Ed's recent closure, as well as because I find it visually interesting as there is something going on in the fore, middle, and background of the image. Reading Reflection #1: Barthes’ concepts of Connotation & Dennotation This image relates to Barthes concept of the photographic message, specifically in relation to the “denotation” and “connotation” of the messages that can be read from press images. To summarize, Barthes describes that a press photograph has both a denoted message and a connoted message. Essentially, the denoted message is whatever is in the image (Barthes 17). In the case of my own chosen photograph, it is an older male in a suit standing in front of a street corner with a gathering of people around a building behind him. Secondly, press photographs also have a connoted message, which the public decides...

...What did you notice about the information in these reports? My first reaction is that the reports seemed kind of shady to me. The video did not give a thorough report and it felt like I would have to go and do research myself if I really wanted to know the answer. It basically presented a topic for me to now have to go and research because I know my mother would freak out about it and nag me to death when she hears it from one of her friends at work. I know that my parents get most of their “news” from coworkers and from the evening news but to me I, it was more frustrating being presented that video than helpful. Studies and reports were cited, but they could have been taken out of context. I would have to further review those institutions data to see for myself. As for the article, it started off with a mother giving birth because of advanced healthcare. Shawn Thierry researched to show the significant number of deaths in African American mothers. She was trying to gain more funding toward treatment and care for the mother after birthing. What was the primary message being put forth in these reports? Did you note any bias?\ The primary message is to show that Texas has one of the highest maternal mortality rates. I don’t think it is biased due to research being presented from three different sources. In the end the video says that the reports can be a bit skewed, but confirms that maternal death rates is a big concern. Primary message in the article was that deaths of the...

Making prediction before reading is great because this get our mind running about the text. This way, you are more engage in the text you are reading.

...A Comprehensive Approach for Sub-Synchronous Resonance Screening Analysis Using Frequency scanning Technique Mahmoud Elfayoumy1, Member, IEEE, and Carlos Grande Moran2, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract: The paper presents a comprehensive approach for sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) screening analysis using a developed frequency scanning tool capable of handling power networks with hundreds of buses. PTI’s software packages like PSS/E and IPLAN programs were used for the development of the SSR tool. The frequency scanning technique scans for the sub-synchronous frequency range between 5 Hz to 59 Hz to determine the system driving point impedance (as a function of frequency) viewed from the neutral point of the generating unit under study. The proposed approach was applied to analyze the SSR phenomenon on several steam and gas driven turbine-generator plants in the northern part of the Western System Coordinating Council (WSCC) control area where several 500kV-transmission lines include series capacitor compensation. As a part of the study, credible contingencies that may lead to a network topology susceptible to SSR phenomenon are identified for proposed plants considered in the study. Key Words: Capacitor Compensated Transmission Lines, Sub-synchronous resonance. IEEE Sub-Synchronous Resonance Working Group report [4] presented the basic theory, problem definition, analytical tools, testing, and countermeasures for mitigating the SSR effects. The report also discussed some...
