Language or verbal behavior is defined as an operant behavior, which is strengthened by other people’s mediation (Skinner, 1957). This can be well explained as a practical relationship existing between the behavior of a person speaking, as well as the conditions in their environment. However, in this relationship, an important question, on how reinforcement between the speaker and the other people occurs arises.
According to research, it is clear that children acquire a number of language skills mainly Continue reading...

1.0 Introduction
Only 2% of the water on earth is fresh water (Symons, 2001). The rest is primarily saline and hence cannot be used for consumption, or other applications in the home (e.g., cleaning or washing). Most households rely on piped water from municipalities (Kahramaa), whereas others are sourced from independent water purifications plants, private wells or even from rain water. With a growing global population there are increasing pressures on the world’s fresh water supply. As such, water conservation has become critically important, particularly in regions where the water table is low, and other fresh water sources Continue reading...

Why is the H1 bus speed 31.25kbps, not something different, suitable for closed loop digital

control?
The H1 bus speed is not suitable for automated machinery control and is good for closed loop control within the automation process. In automation process cycle is working with a period of 0.25 to 1.0 seconds and only 50 transactions are available. Unscheduled messages have more transactions then a single bus segment. Bus speed of 31.25kbps was chosen as a binary fraction with 1MHz oscillated crystal with the division of 32.

Is the digital signal susceptible to noise? If so, how can it be reduced?

Introduction

The OECD Environmental Outlook to 2050 Report paints a grim picture of the Earth’s condition by 2050 (Holloway, 2012). Due to negligence towards the increasing environmental degradation, the changes in climatic conditions are likely to be severe. Simultaneously, it predicts a world population of 9.2 billion people with a global GDP of over 300 trillion USD, four times the 75 trillion USD it was in 2010 (Gillespie, 2014). Over 70 per cent of the population of the planet will live in cities by 2050, as compared to 50 per cent in 2008 (UNEP, 2010). Continue reading...

The article talks about how technology, namely automation, is replacing people. If you visit a car factory you will see robot arms welding doors onto cars, and not people, although people may be sitting in the control booth above the floor waiting to intervene if something goes wrong. While the article is not suggesting that people go and smash all the computers and resist the rise of the machines, it does suggest that there has been a widening gap between productivity and employment. In other words, starting in 2000, according to data from the United States Labor statistics, productivity Continue reading...
