Introduction Chips are nowadays found in almost every electronic equipment, system, or application. The semiconductors market has taken the lead in the world economy and most of the countries that seek to have technological independence are focusing on their development. No doubt that technology is growing far and wide hence the use of semiconductors is not coming to an end shortly. Currently, it is possible to incorporate thousands of transistors and other virtual components in one chip. As these chips form truly integrated systems, they are thus called systems on a chip. The performance of these systems is relatively high with low power consumption. Technology advancement has made it possible for developers to integrate assorted components of the same substrate in one chip. The reusable components are usually called intellectual property blocks and are often referred to as soft cores. The issue of reuse can start at the block, chips level, or platform and entails ensuring that the intellectual property is completely general, configurable, and programmable for it to be used in an extensive variety of processes. This has resulted in the chips being too complex. Intellectual property integration involves connecting the computational parts to the medium of communication. The methods of testing the system are also defined together with verification issues that are encountered when integrating reusable components. Design teams have adopted a block-based design approach that emphasizes design reuse. However, as a result of changing to this approach, the teams have plunged into many challenges. Sometimes they have used components that are not designed for reuse thus ending up not having achieved their objective. The team has realized that for the design reuse to succeed, they must have a clear method of developing macros that are easily integrated into the system-on-chip. Deep submicron technology makes it possible for SoCs to be developed with the required features. It helps in the whole set of design which includes timer and power circulation, interconnection delays, allocation, and routing of millions of gates. For the macros to be reused, they must be exceptionally easy to integrate into the chip design. They must also be so robust that there is no need of verifying their functionality after development. Therefore there must be proper documentation, good coding, and systematic commenting about the macros. As a result, the designers are coming up with macros that are easily configurable for different applications. The macros are also designed with standard interfaces for them to be used with any application. They are also designed in a way that it is possible to verify them in any chip (Keating & Bricaud pp.1-6). Properties of the system on chip The system-on-chip consists of one microcontroller or microprocessor core, memory blocks which are a selection of read-only memory (ROM), ran
Intellectual disability is a disability characterized by limited intellectual faculties, which affect an individual’s ability to solve problems, memorize and process information, and fulfill other tasks requiring a mental effort. Intellectual disability puts a strain on an individual’s ability to have a social life and communicate with other human beings due to the fact that their capability of adapting is limited to a certain extent. This essay will outline three implications for a disabled individual in the workforce and three possible accommodations that would make such an individual’s transition to working more accessible. First, having an intellectual disability might make the process of applying for work and having interviews reasonably complicated. Among the most common barriers to successful employment are inefficient or limited support from DES (disability employment services), challenges in the application, and employers’ attitude. While employers are not in the position to address the problems with DES, the latter two issues may be tackled. First, employers should clearly state whether a job is available for individuals with disabilities. Second, to fix a poor or hostile attitude, staff training may be arranged during which managers and employees would learn how to be more tolerant and inclusive. Furthermore, another difficulty with which an intellectually disabled individual might be confronted in the workplace is an impaired ability to communicate with others. Communication is an indispensable part of the work process, and when an employee cannot suggest improvements or express his or her worries, mistakes may occur. Again, if employers exert an effort, this issue can be addressed in a meaningful way. For instance, an organization may collaborate with DES for ongoing workplace support. Introducing the system of “work buddies” in which a disabled person is assigned a mentor may also be of great help. It goes without saying that a “work buddy” should be chosen wisely based on his or her personal qualities and work experience. An employer could also consider enrolling potential mentors in a training program where they would learn effective ways of interacting with individuals with special needs. Lastly, people with intellectual disabilities might have a hard time learning new processes, dealing with uncertainty, and making decisions. Many disabled people have trouble memorizing a process step by step, and if this difficulty is combined with the limited ability to communicate with others, the result may be quite awry. The first measure that an employer might undertake to help such an employee is to restructure his or her work activities. Ideally, the new structure would allow them to learn step by step and repeat actions. Furthermore, an employee might be provided with pictures and prompts which depict what he or she is to do in great detail. It is abundantly easy to see that being disabled intellectually might expose a person to many challenges in the workplace since, for most positions, cognitive and people skil
Classical music has always been popular. Not every person understands its beauty and meaning, however, I believe that it can influence on every person it its particular way, no matter whether you like it or not. Recently, I had a great opportunity to see the concert at the Nightingale Concert Hall. It was performed by the Reno Chamber Orchestra conducted by Theodore Kuchar. The orchestra performed Mozart’s Symphonies. I was greatly impressed by the concert. However, I have chosen the Symphony No. 28 in C Major, part III (Menuetto: Allegreto) for my respond as I liked it the most. The Mozart’s Symphony No. 28 in C Major, part III (Menuetto: Allegreto) is one of the most impressive musical compositions I have ever heard, it is calm and energetic at the same time, and it makes you feel as if you went into the 17th century. As I have already mentioned, the concert was devoted to the music by Mozart. I have heard many compositions by Wolfgang Mozart, and I consider him one of the most talented and unique composers of all times. His music is wonderful, magic, and mysterious. It can be tender, energetic, romantic and joyful. For example, such work as “The Requiem” which is his most famous and impressive work. Actually, I have never heard the Symphony No. 28 in C Major before, but I am glad that I had a chance to hear this wonderful “piece of Art” as I really got a real pleasure. So, the Symphony No. 28 in C Major, part III (Menuetto: Allegreto) was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart approximately in 1774. It was the last piece of his “Salzburg series”. Few words should be mentioned about the époque when the work was created. This period is called the Classical period in Western music. Usually, the classical music includes all works written from the 16 th to the 19 th century, however, a true classical period is between the years 1730 and 1820. It is marked by works of such great composers as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Schubert, Ludwig van Beethoven and Antonio Salieri. The music of the classical period was much “lighter” than the music of the previous Baroque period. As M. Tevfik Dorak writes in the article “Classical (Period) Music”, the characteristic features of this period were “slow harmonic rhythm, primary triads, appoggiaturas, frequent cadences, clear articulation, variety in orchestral texture, varying dynamics, independence of orchestral sections, tenor registry of the bassoon, double woodwind (including clarinets)” (n. pg.). At first, the Classical music took some features from the Baroque music. But later, it adopted its unique style, format and form. According to the book by Kerman and Tomlinson, “a four-movement format dominated Classical instrumental genres. The internal structures of important Classical forms associated with the four-movement plan: sonata form, theme and variations, minuet form, rondo form” (76). All these features can be found in the compositions written by Mozart, the most influential composer of the perio
Introduction Most schools have often emphasized the significance of other subjects on the school curriculum without necessarily considering physical education. This has contributed to physical education being sidelined. Children at an early age for instance need physical education so as to develop their motor skills hence the need for the subject. It is however unfortunate that this is given the least time and priority within the school curriculum and in most of the cases those who conduct it are not well trained. The end result is the emergence of pupils and students who have poor motor skills. With inappropriate physical activity, the children become dull and this might have negative implications on their academic performance. Belmont High School is an example of a school that has incorporated the aspects of physical education curriculum in its school philosophy. The school philosophy is to bring up active and creative students that are understanding and compassionate to others and with the appropriate character. The school aims at ensuring that the students develop physically, psychologically, spiritually socially, morally, emotionally and even intellectually. The physical education curriculum for the school has particularly been enacted in a way that it ensures wholesome development of students. Physical education has significantly contributed towards the realization of the school philosophy as it helps in the development of the physical aspects of the students. The students do exercise during the physical education lessons hence developing the motor skills which are vital for the physical development of the students. The physical education curriculum also contributes to the intellection development of the children. Physical activity helps in the growth of the cerebral capillarity. By increasing the intensity of physical activity, blood circulation in all parts of the body including the brain is enhanced hence oxygen is effectively transported to all the body parts. Nerve connections are well developed as the brain tissue is intensified. The attention span of the child is therefore increased and information is easily acquired, stored and retrieved whenever there is need. This is vital in the learning process and the student is therefore well placed in the acquisition of academic knowledge. Through the interactions made while exercising or competing, physical education has been vital in the development of the children’s social skills hence minimizing the chances of the students engaging in unacceptable antisocial behavior. The physical education periods help the students to develop self discipline as the teachers allow the students to play the major role in the training session. They are expected to exhibit high moral standards and during competition the students are expected to play fairly and those who lose are not expect
There can be nothing more trivial than a visit to a shopping mall. However, this everyday routine can be seen differently by different people. For some, it can be a torture and for some it can be a way to overcome depression. For a sociologist, this can be a kind of Eldorado where almost all sociological concepts and theories can be observed. The sociologist should not even have that much of sociological imagination as all trends are obvious. Of course, the observer should exploit a beginner’s mind to trace peculiarities of people’s behavior. Therefore, to start an observation in a shopping mall, one should forget about everything and disregard the “treasures” displayed there. It is necessary to sit and observe. At this point, it is necessary to note that observation is one of the most appropriate research methods to employ at a shopping mall as a researcher can observe people’s behavior in a natural setting. Thus, people do not even know they are being observed and they do not try to change their typical behavioral patterns. One of the most observable sociological concepts in the shopping mall is Herbert Spencer’s idea of evolution. This idea is based on the well-known Darwin’s theory. The abundance of sales in a shopping mall makes it similar to a jungle where the fittest survives, or gets what he/she wants. The fittest in a shopping mall is the one who knows where the sales are, is aware of the opening hours, knows what exactly he/she wants to buy and how to access the item at the unprecedented pace. These “kings and queens of the jungles” obtain the best items at best prices. The rest of the shoppers who are not that fit have to content themselves with less valuable items. Of course, people’s inability to make use of sales will not lead to the extinction of the species. However, the ability to shop during sales makes people a bit different, and, perhaps, even superior in certain strata of the human society or community. It is possible to see the kings and the less fit in the shops’ doors. First, the kings are more confident when they come into the shop and they are delighted when they leave it. Less fit shoppers are not very confident or even at a loss when they enter the shop and they are often unsatisfied with their purchases. Thus, Spencer’s idea is revealed at the shops’ doors. Another sociological concept which can be traced in a shopping mall is a conflict theory. According to Karl Marx, human society is nothing more than a constant conflict between capitalists and proletariat. The thinker also stressed that people had struggled for resources for centuries. Marx believed that workers would someday become the rulers of the world. Again, sales reveal this kind of conflict as well. Thus, people who cannot afford something try to “win” the product they need during sales. Again, people oppose each other and there are often quarrels in such shops. I was lucky to witness a quarrel of two girls who came together smiling and chatting, but went out of the shop frowning. This situation verifies
Durante degli Alighieri, shortened as Dante, was an Italian poet born in the spring of 1265 in Florence. Of his works, The Divine Comedy is the greatest literary statement in the medieval periods of the Europeans. It marks the foundation of the Italian language. The comedy explores the greatest unreciprocated, distant love story between Dante – the author, and Beatrice. Dante is almost nine years when he first meets Beatrice, who is a few months younger. Dressed in crimson attire, she completely obsesses him. For nine years, he remains captivated by her from a distance. It is not until 1283, when she speaks to him as they pass each other on the way. After marrying Beatrice and enjoying three years together, sorrow strikes him. His 24-year-old wife dies! Though short, the time they spend together, significantly influences the rest of his life. Though dead and forgotten, her principal inspirations speak volumes of Dante’s works. Firstly, after Dante meets Beatrice for the first time, her dressing forces him to fall in love with her in the first sight, mistaking her for an angel with divine and noble characteristics. Though they hardly speak, it is from this first encounter that makes him write the poem Behold, A Deity Stronger Than I; Who Is Coming, Shall Rule Over Me. One afternoon, they meet along the Florentine streets, when Beatrice greets him. She says, “Love prompted me, that love that makes me talk…” (Lawall 1841). This greeting is enough to make him retreat to his room where he falls asleep, only to experience a dream that becomes the subject of one of his greatest romantic poems- The New Life. Next, he frequently tours parts of Florence, his home city, looking for just a glimpse of Beatrice. His words, “You with your words have so disposed my heart, into longing for this journey…” (Lawall 1842) induces nervousness. These shows how much influence Beatrice words have on his decisions. They are so powerful, that he has to pay her visits. His efforts to privatize his thoughts about Beatrice force him to compose poetry to a woman, to use her as a “screen for the truth.” Her influence is far from a straightforward inspiration, Dante makes her a character in his greatest works. The book, The New Life , is almost full of poems of his praises to her. The Divine Comedy book shows how much she has influenced his spiritual life. She is the one who directs him to heaven For instance, “You are my guide, my governor, my master” (Lawall 1842). Owing to the fact that their relationship has no contact, their personal terms conversations is just Dante’s imaginations. The Beatrice on study is his mind’s creations. He calls her “The glorious lady of my mind.” Additionally, truth and beauty seem inseparable. Through an animation, Beatrice goes to the purgatory for Dante where he greets her. His journey from the purgatory, through inferno to paradise parallels a change of his relationship to Beatrice. In his journey with Virgil through the inferno, he depicts Beatrice as his only reassurance. She says, “When I had risen from flesh to spirit and beauty and virtue and increased in me I was less dear to him and less welcome a
Abstract The Delta Airlines flight 191 clash is one of the most significant incidences in aviation history. It led to massive changes in how the airlines and the government addresses aviation safety. The concept of microbursts was novel at the time of the clash and the increased research efforts revealed how it affects aircraft and how it can be avoided. DFW and other airports learned critical lessons and used these lessons to implement improved detection system both on the ground and the planes. Introduction The aviation industry can be considered to be one of the riskiest industries in the world. There have been multiple accidents since the aircraft was first invented. Commercial flights today are the major concern when discussing the safety of air travel. This is because the incidents that have happened in the history of these businesses have resulted in massive losses of human life. Accidents such as the Delta Airlines flight 191, which occurred on August 2, 1985, killed over 137 people. At the time it happened, it was the third accident in the United States since 1975 to involve a then-novel concept of microburst and to kill over 100 people. Such an extent also means heavy losses for the airlines illustrating the fact that aviation safety is of utmost interest to all the stakeholders. The Delta Airlines flight 191 clash is argued to have been one of the most significant incidences in the history of aviation safety as it led to a change in how airlines and governments approach aviation safety. Background The Delta Airlines flight 191 is one of those accidents to have been caused by a phenomenon known as a microburst. This is a weather condition involving an intense thunderstorm downdraft. The National Weather Service defines a microburst as a small downburst that has an outflow of below two and a half (2.5) miles or 4 kilometers for a horizontal diameter (“Thunderstorm hazards – Damaging wind,” n.d.). Additionally, it tends to last for between two and five minutes. Microbursts may be small in size but they can produce destructive winds reaching up to 168 miles per hour or equivalent to 270 kilometers per hour. They present dangerous conditions for pilots and have been responsible for multiple aviation accidents, including the Delta Airlines flight 191 crash. The mechanisms and the effects of a microburst have been explained by the National Weather Service, including the sequence of events leading to an incident. Pilots descending into an airport follow an imagery line to the runway called a glide slope. When they enter a microburst the aircraft encounters a condition known as headwind which is an increase in the speed of the wind over an aircraft. The strength of the wind tends to create additional lift which
Personality type is a process that assists in the determination of people’s behavior; it however assists in the classification of people into distinct category types. It can also refer to categorizing people into two categories either distinct or discontinuous. In most cases, a person is either one or the other. Personality type classification is useful since it assists in distinguishing a person’s personality type approach with the help of the personality trait approach which should be a continuous activity. Personality types can classify into different types and people show traits for different categories. In this light, we can analyze the different categories of people and the effect of their behavior in relation to their personalities. In the analyses, I shall use John Groover’s example who is an introvert and in using his experiences and incident I shall portray the difference between types and traits, putting into consideration the personality dimension. According to Berlin, I. (1953) personality type approach says you are either an introvert or an extravert or you can be a continuum ranging from introversion to extraversion. However, most people are found in the middle of certain traits but on the extreme levels of any trait. John Groover’ can also be said to be type F meaning he bases his decisions on his thoughts or his feelings. He can also be type A since he is work-holic, always busy, and self-driven. In relation to his behavior and personality, we can assess his alcoholic problem. His problem can be seen in his daily activities. Most of the days he feels negative after-effects of drinking alcohol but he is unaware that it’s a major problem that he should consider seeking assistance. His alcoholic problem began without as an innocent social activity becomes a habit, isolation, and boredom after working, he thought this was the best way to relax rather than associating with people. Later the habit gradually crosses over into physiological and psychological addiction causing frequent problems in his life. The signs and symptoms of alcohol abuse are easily identified in his actions, but others are more difficult to notice. Over time, heavy consumption of alcohol does extensive damage to almost every system in your body. Alcohol abuse and alcoholism have a major impact on society causing thousands of innocent deaths each year and exacerbating situations involving violent crimes and domestic violence. As Funder, D. C. (2001) Alcoholism affects brain chemistry which causes you to feel compelled to drink alcohol. Usually, you can only stop drinking if you receive continuing help and treatment. This shows that the problem showed be addressed immediately by counseling since it related to his personality.
