Introduction

The term ‘social robot’ has become popular in the modern world and is almost being integrated into the modern day cultural constructs as usual. Lamers & Verbeek (2010) maintain that social technology is meant to invoke emotional attributes and to engage the human mind in a way that exceeds what is physical. Lamers & Verbeek (2010) argue that a robot is man’s effort at recreating his own self and it is with this semblance that the conceptualization of human-robot interaction has been captured. Dating back from the 18th century, inventors and scientists alike have been making numerous attempts at making ...

Introduction

Fruits flies or Drosophila melanogaster nourish on the fungi and bacteria present on rotting fruit. They have a unique capability of tracking food via remote chemoreception while flying and landing. Once they sense the smell of the food, they continue to hunt for it on the ground. This behavior is termed as foraging, and it is dependent on the process of chemoreception (Bateman, 1972). Flies possess chemoreceptors in the front pair of legs to sense such unique sensations, which facilitate them to discover or taste the substance ...

Customer Service Policy

The customer is usually the most important person for any business. This is because the main aim of doing business is to make sales and realize profit. This, of cause, is impossible without customers- the demanders of the products offered by the business for sale at a price. It therefore follows that enterprises which intend to achieve success in business must be customer-oriented. For these firms, their customers are the ultimate reason for their existence. Failure to obtain, maintain and increase customers will give other competing firms a competitive advantage over the firm. It thus follows that satisfying the requirements of ...

HR CULTURE-CROSS HR STRATEGIES

Hofstede came up with the cultural dimensions which are still being practiced today as a pre-requisite to the understanding of the concept of cross cultural communication. These dimensions are also said to have a strong influence on the values of members of a society and also on how these values link to the behavior. Cultural dimensions give insight into how organizations and businesses would make policies for a specific location. The six dimensions of culture include power distance, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, long term orientation and indulgence (Hofstede, 1984; Hofstede, Hofstede, and Minkov, 1991).

Microbiology laboratory report

Abstract
Bacteriophages are intracellular parasitic viruses that infect bacteria to carry out their multiplication. During the lytic infection cycles, phages lyse the host cells forming a clear zone called plaque on the agar media. The experiment is aimed to measure the number of plaques created when the virus T4 infects the host bacteria and their genetic material integrates into the genetic material of the host cell. This happens because the E.coli becomes resistant to T4 bacteriophage. The T4 phage was diluted in a test tube and then E.coli bacteria was added in the tubes. The mixture was poured with soft ...
