Article Summaries

According to Scarr and Richard, the influence of intelligence is due to genetics and environmental variables that are difficult to segregate. Psychologists often argue about the nature and the nurture of genetic variation fixes in the human behavior (Scarr and Richard 262). Some offer that genetic differences are negating to change in behavior. This belief has limitation since it fails to distinguish the environmental and the genetic sources of individual differences in behavior. In this case, one is not in a position to assess the impact of heredity in behavioral domains since all people have a gene complement expressed over development.

Introduction

The Wide-Band Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) is a third generation handset system that achieves high data transmission by utilizing a wider spectrum frequency. Issues that arise in handsets such as a low spectral growth and maintenance of modulation accuracy require a low adjacent channel leakage power ratio (ACLR) especially in the case of the W-CDMA handset systems. High linearization in the portable W-CDMA systems can be improved by increasing the gain compression point that creates the AM-AM distortion. As such this can be achieved by using an on-chip linearizer.
A new on-chip active bias circuit can be used ...

Introduction

Shalonda, your observation post was very illuminating. The authentic instructional practice using ‘Reciprocal Teaching’ was indeed an effective model that enabled students to see themselves from the perspective of the teacher, who assumed the role of a student and intentionally made mistakes to practice and develop analytical skills of the students. I strongly believe that it showed greater potentials for learning since the students were not intimidated by just being told; rather, by seeing the mistakes that were normally committed in solving mathematical problems, they took the point of view of an instructor which ...
