Quality Assessment

Scanning technology (3D laser scanner technique) measures the dimension of a precast concrete panel using extraction algorithms to measure boundary points with a compensation model to increase measurement accuracy (Kim et al., 2013). 3D laser scanning converts CAD models into BIM, which identifies scanned objects by ensuring precision for rebar mapping before actual drilling as well as rebar detailing for installing rebar cages (Hajian & Brandow, 2012). Before shipping precast concrete elements, dimensional quality assurance (DQA) is carried out to ensure that there are no dimensional defects using a scanner in an automated process that saves time and labor input ( ...

From one point of view, the school follows a standard framework validated on the national level and make sure the students comply with the educational norms established in the U.S. From the other hand, there is no room for creativity and thinking out of the box that decreases the chances of teachers to reveal all potential of the students and teach them to be innovative.

Everyone desires to understand the significance of life, to unveil the importance of human beings and reconcile that importance to the surroundings. Many philosophers, alive and dead, from Descartes to Eve Cole, have indulged in the question of the significance of a human life, and the relationships that people form. In real life situations, many leaders; religious, political and academic, push forwards thoughts about life. Professional counselors and psychologists make a lot of money by telling people how they can achieve their full potential. In the literal works; Doll House by Ibsen, The Plague by Albert Camus, Ikiru by ...

USA Wages

The wage inequalities in the U.S. are occasioned by weak wage structures and policies (Gordon, 2016). The inequalities are partially attributable to overpaid C.E.O and managers and underpaid workers. Moreover, the share of the national income that is set aside to cater for wages has been decreasing gradually over the years (Gordon, 2016). Job insecurity and lower wages were common during the Great Depression; however, political responses to the depression and challenges brought about by the World War II led to improvements in the employees’ bargaining power. The rapid economic growth in the U.S. is attributed to an increase ...

Canada is known internationally as a peacekeeping nation that does not take part in larger imperialist agendas and is a haven for refugees and immigrants. This has caused the country to adopt multicultural state policies meant to provide a safe and progressive environment for its diverse society. However, the country has a history of indigenous colonization, slavery, white settlement policies, and racialized immigration policies meant to settle people of color. Despite the multicultural policies being in place, Canada’s history has influenced racism in the nation with the Canadian minorities being marginalized socially, politically, culturally and economically.

I think that the teaching beliefs emerge through different sources, from personal life experience to the literature you read dedicated to education. Moreover, I think that the mixture of these two domains will make you a good educator, as it is important to take into account your own experience and interpersonal skills when implementing the knowledge provided by theories. It is considered that the teacher has to involve the strategies including “listening, clarifying, encouraging, reflecting, presenting, problem solving, negotiating, directing, standardizing, and reinforcing” (Glickman et al. 89). However, I can tell that these approaches can be faulty if applied ...

Is Knowledge Power?

Is Knowledge Power?

Humans are perpetual thinkers and doers. We ask questions, inquire about things and make decisions. Questions give rise to answers and answers lead the way to knowledge. A man who knows something has an advantage over the man who knows nothing. Knowledge of a subject gives us an edge over the others. Knowledge empowers the seeker to make informed decisions (Hall, 2001). It empowers us to be ready for the future and be able to control the anticipatory events (Brown, 1989). Power and strength without knowledge is absolute blind and a blind giant cannot win battles ...

Raphael Sanzio was an Italian painter and architect who worked mainly in Florence and Rome during the period of High Renaissance (1483-1520). Raphael is known for his harmonic compositions, the detailed and carefully chosen movements of figures, and his ability to create paintings where the figures stand alone or as part of the whole (Gordon 52). In addition, Raphael was the master of foreshortening and perspective. Foreshortening means to adjust a figure to non-realistic proportions, so that figure gives the impression of being closer to the viewer. Perspective is a similar form of illustration where more distant objects are ...

The dependent variable is the views on the LGBT community. This is defined as ...

Release on parole or a shortening of a prison sentence are both highly complex issues that need to be viewed from both a legal as well as humanitarian standpoint. While ‘imminent danger to society’ is an integral component in determining if parole should be granted to any convict, I believe that when the crime relates to sex offences, even more care and precaution is necessary. The option of early release should only come in question if and when there are very explicit mitigating circumstances, such as the criminal being afflicted by a mental disease that prompted the action, and ...

What part of this dilemma should a counselor point out is Yelena’s responsibility to acknowledge and address?

The sexual disconnect between James and Yelena is essentially a consequence of an absence in open and honest communication between them about sex, particularly in expressing their specific needs in relation to sex, which is referred to in psychological literature as ‘sexual self-disclosure’ (Tang, Bensman, & Hatfield, 2013; Litzinger & Gordon, 2005) or ‘dyadic sexual communication’ (Pazmany, et al., 2014). Yelena had been enduring an unsatisfactory sex with her husband for more than two decades because she decided not to communicate her needs on the mistaken notion that doing so is being unfeminine. Yelena felt the dilemma between her need for ...

Barack Obama has become a paradoxical figure of the United States. He is one of the most popular “lame-duck” presidents in history. He handily won his election and reelection, and has reinforced the democratic base. He has given African Americans a voice and has proven that African Americans can be powerful and effective leaders despite a congress that will openly work against them. From out of the woodwork, we now have a Republican presidential candidate who is seemingly racist, who is commended by his supporters for speaking “the truth” regarding black, Hispanic and Muslim people and citizens. Obama provided ...

A number of office approaches can be used to seeing an adolescent in the office. It is, therefore, important for the physician to adopt a technique that the teenager feels they are best comfortable with. Confidentiality forms the foundation of any therapeutic relationship with an adolescent. Without proper clarification of the confidentiality limits, the physician may end up getting incomplete or incorrect information during the history taking process (Batanova & Loukas, 2012). My preferred approach when dealing with an adolescent is seeing the teenager alone first and later asking the parents to join the conversation. However, before the day of ...

The dynamics of the economy when the interest rates are at almost zero are a bit complicated, especially because the monetary policies have very little effect on the economy. However, the interplay between the fiscal and monetary policies will bring the economy to stabilization even though with great difficulty. Some of the factors at play bring a tradeoff between the success and failure of the possible policies. For example, the policies that will bring down the level of unemployment will tend to push up inflation. However, factors that will push the GDP upwards will also lower the rate of ...

Generally, all historical themes contribute to the improvement of my open-mindedness and expansion of outlook, but I would like to mark the topic of the American Revolution. Indeed, the American Revolution was a crucial part ...

Suppliers play a key role in the performance of various firms. Supplier assessment is a process involving evaluation of available suppliers and selecting the best through both quantitative and qualitative assessments.
