2 Decision Rules for the Execution phase According to the transaction properties, we evaluate the FPS and FCB to decide which one to employ. Specifically, the number of intra-transaction pages in a transaction is α T and the number of inter-transaction pages in a transaction is T β. We denote the minimal number of pages with temporal locality as σ. In general, if T+T less than σ, meaning that temporal locality are not prominent, FLB is used. However, if the transaction property has prominent temporal locality (i.e., α T+T larger than σ), we shall select the schemes from FCB or FPS. Specifically, use FPS if α/β> (meaning that intratransaction locality is the major temporal locality), and use FCB if α/β<φ (meaning that inter-transaction locality is the major temporal locality). Use FPS or FCB to retrieve cache, the cache contains intra-transaction, inter-transaction pages and some other pages which are not available in the cache. Hence, the extra page access incurs cache miss and replacement cost. Therefore, similarly to the derivation in Section 3.1, we can determine σ as follows. (T-σ)(CM+CR)<CM*T Once the corresponding thresholds, i.e., ε, φ and σ, are determined for DAR, one can employ these decision rules derived in the initial phase and in the execution phase for the selection of proper cache methods. Decision Rule for the Execution Phase Determine the minimal number of temporal locality pages σ from (CM+CR)(T-σ)< CM*T If (α T+T β) >σ) then Using FLB else α/β>φ_=> using FPS α/β<φ=> using FCB Conclusion:- We examined in this several cache retrieval schemes to improve the efficiency of cache retrieval. In particular, we analyzed the impact of using a coordinator

Offer opportunities for children to participate in food preparation and procurement It is good for children to be involved in the preparation and procurement or obtaining of food so they can learn more about it and understand where it comes from. By involving children in the preparation of food they are building a familiarity with the different foods and as they are working, for example cutting or peeling vegetables, we can be talking about the benefits and characteristics of the vegetables. I remember doing an activity with city-born four year olds, where we squeezed oranges for juice. This turned out to be way outside their experience, as they had never seen a liquid come from anything except a bottle, carton or tap. This experience inspired much conversation about fruit and juices and how it is healthy for our bodies. We then had a mini-excursion to the shops and looked at all the fruit and vegetables we could buy and discussed what we could make with them to eat. We found the children involved in these experiences were quite willing to try the fruits and vegetables and what we made even if it was just a taste! Even so it is widening their exposure to different foods, flavours and the concept of healthy foods. Excursion to Tickleberry Farm Read this story of a carer and children who begin with growing vegetables themselves, and then take a trip to a farm, where they could see how farmers do things. The journey to Tickleberry Farm began when the children and Alison, the carer, were creating a vegetable garden for the outdoor play space. The children decided to plant vegetable seeds including tomatoes, potatoes, onions, broccoli, zucchini, strawberries and carrots. They tended and nurtured the vegetables as they grew. They talked about how much water they need to grow, they removed any weeds, they overturned the soil, and they discussed what they could do with the vegetables once they were ready for picking. As the vegetables grew over the weeks, the excitement surrounding their delicious creations intensified and when the time came for picking, the children were overcome with joy.

Scenes shot during the treatment of medical cases by the doctors of the humanitarian organizations are shown throughout the episode. 11 The subject of this article is the organization of a two-day seminar by the American university George Washington with the aim of supplying those working for humanitarian organizations in Athens dealing with the refugee crisis with stress management tools. The purpose of this initiative was also the introduction of employees to the notion/concept of “psychological first aid intervention”. At the seminar participated forty-five people from nineteen humanitarian organizations.

Darren, the carer, has a large mole on his chin which has some hairs growing from it. One day, one of the preschool children comes and sits on his lap. They stroke the hairs on the mole saying ‘Are you trying to grow a beard? One thing these scenarios show us is that children think about and respond to the world differently to adults. In communicating with and responding to children, it is important that we try and take their perspective. After all, part of good communication with anyone is about taking the perspective of the listener.
Acknowledge suggestions that cannot be used and explore alternatives with the children It is not always possible or realistic to follow through on children’s ideas and suggestions. This may be due to a number of constraints mentioned earlier or the child’s idea may not be appropriate for a childcare situation. We should always keep an open mind, however, and first ask ourselves ‘Is it possible?’ — just because it hasn’t been done at your centre before, doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Sometimes, though, it is simply not feasible to follow through and in these situations, it is important to acknowledge children’s contributions rather than simply ignore them. It may be that we can discuss the idea further with the child or children to develop an alternative idea or plan that is feasible for the childcare environment. For example, in the scenario above, one of the children suggested that the books be put up higher so the ‘babies won’t get them and tear them’. We need to explain to the children that babies need books too and ask them what types of books could be kept down low and what books could be kept higher. You can guide the discussion so that the children come up with the alternative of placing board books and thicker paged books on the lower shelves so the babies can access them. In all our interactions with children, we should seek to foster their sense of initiative while being mindful of safety and the rights of others. Erik Erikson stressed the importance of children being able to develop a sense of autonomy and initiative in order to avoid a sense of shame and doubt in their own abilities. This builds the foundation for school-aged children to develop a sense of industry, a love of learning and doing, as opposed to a sense of inferiority.

How our biases can affect our observations Here are examples of how bias and stereotypical attitudes can affect the quality of an observation. The observer only records the child’s negative or difficult behaviour and does not record anything positive about the child. The observer records very detailed observations only on the children that they really like and less detailed observations of the children that they dislike. The observer applies a racist attitude to describe a child’s behaviour—for example, ‘Houng only ever speaks Vietnamese—she refuses to speak English’. Consider what you would do if a co-worker was continually making biased and stereotyped comments about the children throughout their observations. This is a very difficult situation to deal with and knowing what to do can often be very confusing. A set of guidelines such as the ECA Code of Ethics, discussed earlier would be a useful tool in this situation. Activity 4 Ensure observations are recorded carefully and accurately To be an effective observer, you need to develop the skills of being able to record exactly what you see children do and hear them say. In other words, it is important that you do not record your own opinions or views or what you think is happening in the main body of the observation. At this stage, you should try not to judge what you are observing. You need to try to describe the behaviour, play and language without labelling the child or coming to conclusions. cli Let’s refer to the picture. It was appropriate to record: The child is standing in front of a painting easel and is looking at the camera. This is a clear record of what happened. It would not be appropriate to record: The child is looking at the camera. She is easily distracted. She never finishes what she starts. She has a very poor concentration span. This example is full of the recorder’s assumptions, judgements and guesses about the child’s temperament and behaviour.
climate change is to use iron fertilization on recently reforested areas in terrestrial areas rather than the ocean to promote growth there, to focus more on promoting renewable resources like wind and solar energy, to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases being emitted into the atmosphere by engineering more fuel-efficient vehicles, and to educate the citizens of nations about how they ca make subtle changes in their lives to reduce everyone’s carbon footprint. If I were to explore another question, it would be “can iron fertilization be used to provide animals in aquaculture with food?” Works Cited Biello, David. “Can Controversial Ocean Iron Fertilization Save Salmon?” Scientific American, Scientific American, 24 Oct. 2012, Doyle, Alister. “Fertilizing Oceans with Iron Dust Helps Sink Carbon: Study.” Reuters, Thomson Reuters, 18 July 2012, Fuentes-George, Kemi. “Consensus, Certainty, and Catastrophe: The Debate Over Ocean Iron Fertilization.” New Security Beat, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, 3 May 2017, Harrison, Daniel. “Iron Fertilisation Sunk as an Ocean Carbon Storage Solution.” The University of Sydney, The University of Sydney, 12 Dec. 2012, sydney.edu.au/news/84.html?newsstoryid=10740.

device is a silicon electrode array may provide a means through which a limited but useful visual sense may be restored to profoundly blind individuals. This shows the development of the first visual prosthesis providing useful "artificial vision" to a blind volunteer by connecting a digital video camera, computer, and associated electronics to the visual cortex of his brain. This device has been the objective of a development effort begun by our group in 1968 and represents realization of the prediction of an artificial vision system made by Benjamin Franklin in his report on the "kite and key" experiment This new visual prosthesis produces black and white display of visual cortex "phosphenes" analogous to the images projected on the light bulb arrays of some sports stadium scoreboards. The system was primarily designed to promote independent mobility, not reading. It has a battery powered, electronic interface that is RF isolated from line currents for safety. This interface can replace the camera, permitting the volunteer to directly watch television and use a computer, including access to the Internet. Because of their potential importance for education, and to help integrate blind people into the workforce, such television, computer, and Internet capabilities may prove even more valuable in the future than independent mobility. First of all passing an electric current through a single electrode into the visual cortex causes a blind subject to see a point of light called a phosphene. The visual scene before the subject will be encoded by miniature video camera attached to a pair of eye glasses. The resulting video signals will be processed by custom circuitry. The processed signals pass across the skull to an array of electrodes implanted in the primary visual cortex. Relaying the electric signals to the cortical implant could be accomplished by two methods- conductive and inductive. In the former connectors are attached to the cranium and provide access to the external circuitry with the later a transformer is formed with one coil under the skin and the other one on the outside. Fig 4.1 Cortical Implant A platinum foil ground plant is perforated with a hexagonal array of 5 mm diameter holes on 3 mm centers, and the flat platinum electrodes centered in
Exchange information with family members about the child’s physical and emotional care needs Ensure information sharing about child’s participation in program occurs frequently in accordance with the organisation’s guidelines Sharing the centre with families is much more than opening the doors and inviting families to spend some time in the centre. This is certainly a good start but it goes much further than this. We need to include families as much as is possible into the life of the service. That means acknowledging the special part that they play and honouring their right to be involved in meaningful ways. Think about how you would go about sharing your program with families. You could do the following: Develop a philosophy for the service with input from families. The policies of the service might also be developed in conjunction with families and be updated regularly with input from families. Ensure that all staff acknowledge that just as children are unique, so too are their families. Decisions made by families should be respected. Differences should be expected and discussed openly. Be open to families’ ideas and parenting practices. Support wherever possible and attempt to understand these decisions. For example, families will have different ideas on the best way to settle their child in to your service for the day. This might differ to your own ideas. Work with families on an individual basis. Differences of opinion are inevitable. When this occurs, ensure that staff will be committed to finding a resolution. Look for opportunities to support families in their role of primary caregiver for their child. Consider the nature of the physical environment. There should be places for parents to sit with their child, or to talk with another adult. The environment
