Data warehouses/data marts are closely related concepts of data structuring, but there exist a few differences between them. One of the differences is that a data warehouse is used for multiple subject areas, while a data mart holds a specific subject area, for example, sales or finance (Chu, 2004; Laberge, 2011). Another difference is that data warehouses hold significantly detailed information, while data marts, on the other hand, hold summarized data. In addition, a data warehouse is used for the integration of different data sources, while a data mart is used for the integration of information related to a ...

Behavioral interventions can be grouped as either antecedent-based interventions (ABI) or consequence-based interventions (CBI). CBI is a group of practices in which the problem behaviors are addressed by manipulating the reinforcement or punishment stimuli following an observed behavior, whereas ABI refers to a group of behavioral interventions that are concerned with the modification of environmental factors that are believed to precede problem behaviors (Tullis, Cannella-Malone, & Payne, 2015). Therefore, ABI strategies are implemented before the problem behavior occurs, so their unique quality is the possibility of problem behavior prevention, which makes the behavioral change easier to maintain compared to results ...

The Culture of Fashion

With special attention to decadism, Breward overviews the changes in fashion trends in the beginning of the twentieth century (184-185). Here, decades are characterized not only by specific preferences in clothing, but also by cultural and social features of the time. In other words, fashion is determined by sociocultural movements. The author highlights the importance of fashion’s temporality in organizing the chronology of the history of fashion. Particularly with this art, time frames may be easily outlined by months, years, or decades with high degree of accuracy. Therefore, fashion is described as a “cultural clock”, which is unconnected ...

The medical training is perceived to be the most stressful experience. The medical school environment is challenging to most of the students as they have to deal effectively with different areas while developing their career (Jetten, Haslam & Haslam, 2012). The medical education is for both development of the professional identity and the medical knowledge. The professional identities are usually contested and allowed through the synergistic external and internal process of the identification which is constituted in and through artefacts and language in the institutional sites(White, Borges & Geiger,2011). Therefore, the manner in which the medical students develop the ...

The film, ‘Apocalypse Now' is a 1979 American movie, which bases its settings In the Vietnam War. The film draws its plot and characters from the book Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, an explorer of the Congo, who puts down his experiences in the heart of Africa. The film and the novel both emphasize on the native savages depicting the latter as objects rather than human beings whose character deserve an exploration just like other characters. This essay reviews the ‘Apocalypse Now' film based on the differences and similarities between the film and the novel on which it ...

The environment is everything that surrounds us. It involves not only the natural elements that the word “environment” entails but also people and the man-made components of the world. Nor is the environment restricted to the outside, it also involves the indoor sections in which we live and work. The environment, therefore, is much more than simply the ozone layer and the ocean. It is the soil, air, water, lands, animals, houses, restaurants factories and all that they contain. Anyone who uses pesticides indoors or outdoors, in a city or a country, needs to consider the way that pesticide ...

Concert Hall

Walt Disney Concert Hall is not only a home for the Philharmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles, but also the pearl of this city. The building project was created and financed with the participation of wife of the world famous animator Walt Disney.

Institutional Case Study- Yale University

Yale University is the third-oldest educational institution in America, and was founded in Saybrook Colony in 1701, by the Congregationalist ministers (Doscher, 2005, p. 1). Various factors facilitated the founding and establishment of the institution. Consequently, clergymen’s efforts in 1640s in initiating the establishment of a local college in various countries in the world in order to preserve European’s traditions of liberal education, was the major impetus to the founding of Yale University (Geiger, 2011, p. 29). Additionally, prior to the renaming of the institution as ‘Yale University in 1718, which encompassed a recognition award from the ...

Introduction

Terrorism has an enormous dependence on surprise. As a result, a terror attack has the massive potential of causing damages to an unprepared, as well as, unwitting target. It, therefore, follows that America through its agencies such as NCTC must take appropriate measures to avoid surprise attacks as the September eleventh one. For purposes of securing its homeland, setting up intelligence, as well as, warning systems which can detect terrorist activities before their manifestation has been instrumental towards curtailing the attacks in the United States. In essence, the discussion below will center on NCTC and ways of mitigating the ...

However, as years progress, there are instances where some of the religion’s traditions and customs are clashing with the modern times. Some Jews recognized this problem and proposed for changes in the faith, but others ...

Independence is the cornerstone of the accounting profession. Without it, any opinion rendered cannot be relied upon by outside parties. An auditor must not only be independent in fact but also in appearance. According to Hill and Booker (2007), both are studied to understand what independence is required in the profession but research evidence related to independence in fact requires far more effort as it involves information that is not always publicly available (as cited in Daniels and Booker, 2011, pp. 79). In previous years, it has been a common practice that auditing firms also provide tax and consulting ...

I. Natural Radioactivity

Radioactivity is a natural phenomenon occurring in isotopes of elements with atomic numbers 20 and higher. This takes place in isotopes of elements with unstable atomic nuclei. Radiation-emitting isotopes are called radioisotopes. When an atom has an unstable nucleus, the number of protons and neutrons are not balanced and there are either too many protons or there are too few of it. This imbalance causes the nuclei to spontaneously decompose to form a more stable nucleus. During this process, energy or particles are released and this is known as radiation. There are three types of radiation. These are either in ...

Introduction

It is becoming clear that the many practices that are seen in lifestyles today cannot meet sustainability in a definite manner. The planet is becoming small and more resources are not in a position to be produced. What is more, there are many inhabitants who cannot even provide the very basic needs that they need. The problem of the need to live with the limited resources that are there today with equal access to limited resources is one of the concepts of sustainable development. There is complexity in engineering and products; this has called for engineers to consider ways of approaching ...

Introduction

Radiation is best described as energy which is passing through space or a medium (Khan 2010). There are two categories of radiation; non-ionizing and ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation is important in the life systems and can be exemplified by heat, visible light, or radio waves; however, overexposure may be toxic. Ionizing radiation is the one commonly implied whenever the term radiation is used. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to change atoms which may result in changes in cell molecules leading to alterations within the cells and thus cell damage. Radiation is measured by the unit, rem, which is ‘roentgen equivalent ...
