Section 1: Basic Concepts Concept of the Cloud The IT term “ cloud” is short for two related concepts. For the man on the street, it can just mean the internet and that is acceptable1. For the IT initiate, it would be “cloud computing” which is the delivery of on-demand computing services (e.g. applications) to clients via the internet from server farms of the service provider. These services are applications and databases which reside in the vendor’s various locations unknown to the customers. Google and Facebook are there in the cloud. Such architecture allows the type of service called ...

Abstract

Introduction Transitioning from a life at home with parents and the teachers as in charge into a college life where the student finds independence of every choice possible, problems like risky behaviors and irregular sleep patterns are nothing out of the ordinary. This new-found freedom is in most cases seen to be unfavorable for the college student because 70 to 96 percent of the student in college get less than 8 hours of sleep per day. This is not a blanket rate which applies to the student of every major from each and every department; rather there are students ...

Summary of the article

Network connectivity has over the years improved as a result of the construction of quality network transmissions a factor that is attributed by Quality of service (QoS routers). A network router implementing quality of service in the network enables all users and applications using the network resources to have a distributed bandwidth. This ensures that some users or applications are not halted by overconsumption of network resources by other users and applications of the network. QoS can be implemented in two ways as follows. First is the use of traditional QoS that allows network administrators to assign network priority ...

Theorist Sigmund Freud is well known for his theories about personality development. Freud states that development of an individual's personality happens through stages based on a particular erogenous zone. When a stage is unsuccessfully completed the individual becomes absorbed in that particular zone, and they may indulge in it once they are adults (Freud, 2012). Freud explains the steps as the three stages of development –the oral phase. This stage happens in the period of the birth of a child up to 18 months. A child in this stage pleasures in sucking. Too much sucking or less of it ...

This study reviews some of the research done on this subject. In deed, there are many factors, which contribute ...

1.A. Penicillins are β-lactam antibiotics in structure. The remodeling process takes place in the bacterial cell walls due to the presence of a layer called peptidoglycan layer, which includes the breakdown of β-(1,4) linked N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine and cross-linking peptide chains . Cross-linking peptide chains provide rigidity to the fluid cell wall. Transpeptidase, an enzyme used in the breaking of peptide chains also reforms the peptide bonds after the restructuring of the cell wall. The penicillin inhibits the enzyme transpeptidase, which prevents the peptide bonds from reforming. Thus, penicillin makes the cell walls weaker, which results ...

Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Introduction

Erik Erikson’s’ views make significant contributions to the field of psychology; this is particularly in the understanding of personality development and related factors. An understanding of his own study of personal development creates an understanding of development of his psychology (Fleming, 2004). Most of Erikson’s psychology work became evident in the post-Freudian era. It was between the 1930s and 1950s; being one of Freud’s students, most of his work exhibit the influence of Freudian views and theories; this was mainly in the field of personality development. However, dissimilar from Freud’ ...

Introduction

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a psychiatric disorder in which patients exhibit impulsive behaviour and an inability to fix attention for any significant length of time. Behaviour patterns of such persons are not age-appropriate. This disorder is detected predominantly in children and presents between ages 6 to 12. Diagnosis can be definite only after the condition has existed for a minimum period of six months to a year. The major presenting symptom is lack of attention at school and home study which reflects on academic performance. Clinical diagnosis is based on certain standardized tests – questionnaires for parents as well as children. These ...

Sigmund Freud, commonly known as the father of psychoanalysis, was one of the most famous thinkers of the Twentieth Century. The importance he gave to those maladies that modern medicine could not cure embarked him on a path that allowed him to propose a new way of dealing with human suffering. While many people have criticized his theories, almost to the point where nobody actually practices psychoanalysis the way Freud intended, his thought remains a milestone in psychological studies and Western civilization in general. Due to these deformations, only texts by Freud will be used, with the purpose of studying what the ...

Introduction

The term “cluster computing” and “grid computing” are used interchangeably when describing networked computers designed to run distributed applications in order to share resources. However, they are used to in describing the varied set of distributed computing with ambiguous solutions. Both cluster and grid computing are used simultaneously to improve the performance of the application. The both help in sharing available resources such as printers, scanners and speakers (Dongarra et al., 2004). Nonetheless, grid and cluster computing have different approaches in problem solving since they differ in terms of their infrastructure and technologies. Grid and cluster computing can be ...

The universe has never run out of wonderful mysteries, and perhaps one of the greatest mysteries that we will never grow weary of exploring is the mystery of life. In Biology, we learn of the many ways through which life manifests itself in our planet. In Taxonomy, we learn that there are, under different classes and kingdoms, thousands and thousands of names that we use to refer to living things, be it animal, bacteria, protist, or any other life form. This background and context only makes more interesting another one of those mysteries of the universe that we have ...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Ethernet has been termed as the most ubiquitous networking interface in the world. Almost all traffic passes through multiple Ethernet links. The point is that majority of the Ethernet links spend time while idle waiting between packets of data transfer, but consuming power at a near constant rate. In fact, on average, 10% of all IT power is consumed by network devices and network interfaces translating to tens of TeraWatts hour per year. A solution lies in the design of green networks which consume minimal power while idle without losing their functionality. In this research paper, Energy Efficient Ethernet is ...

Sports represent one of the leading economic earners for many individuals who enjoy physical activities. Social theories provide the framework for individuals studying sports as they seek to uncover the hidden meanings connected to sports. Conversely, “sport sociology brings to bear a number of intellectual tools that allow one to look critically at power relations while connecting sport to large social issue, including race, class, nationalism, and gender,” (Zirin, 2008, p.2). The functionalist theorist and conflict theories are the most common theories related to the discipline of sports. The functionalist theory looks at the principles of structure, social systems, social ...

Lifespan Perspective of Human Development

The lifespan of any living thing are the various stages a person undergoes from birth until death. Famous psychologists, Sigmund Freud and Erik Erikson have divided these phases into separate stages that every individual undergoes. The lifespan perspective has its roots in three main concepts; biological, socio-cultural, and individual influences. Even though development is a lifelong process but the rate of development declines over the years as a result of ageing. There are several theories on lifespan development which include; cognitive, behaviorism, social, psychoanalytic, and psychosocial. Psychologists who have developed theories based on these schools of thought have taken differing approaches towards ...

Introduction

Herpes Simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a virus that belongs to the alpha herpes viridae subfamily and causes genital ulcer diseases. The transmission of HSV-2 occurs most often due to a sexual intercourse in humans, although it can disseminate through physical contact with the lesions and saliva from the patients. Medical professionals may contract the infection and lesions on their fingers, if they inadvertently contact the patient’s vaginal mucosa or mouth, without using appropriate gloves. The HSV-2 infection is known to be asymptomatic in 80 % of the cases . Genital herpes is a frequent infection acquired during pregnancy and about 5 % ...

The Stroop Color-Test is a very important and reliable tool for assessment in psychology. The Stroop test is used to demonstrate the interference in the reaction time of a given task. The name and the color are printed in a color denoted by the name of the color. This test is normally used to determine the influence of sex, age and educational level on attention and cognitive flexibility Afsaneh et al (2012). The naming of these colors usually takes longer and sometimes involves errors. In the past, several different versions of the Stroop tests have been developed with variations in the number ...

Abstract

Ginkgo Biloba extract is widely used by older adults as a cognitive enhancer although efficacy studies show inconsistent results. A review was done of three quantitative studies with the hypothesis that once-daily use of Ginkgo Biloba does not help improve the memory of adults aged 50 years or older. One article was a clinical trial on the differences in electrical activity in the brain when Ginkgo Biloba or placebo is used during a working memory test. The second article is also a clinical trial that determined the efficacy of Ginkgo Biloba in reducing cognitive and therefore memory decline in patients with early-stage dementia. ...

(Course No.) (City & State) A recommended solution for Karaaka is fiber optic connection. Fiber optic networks operate at high speeds of up to gigabits thereby providing considerably high data rates. In addition, fiber optics has the advantage of transmitting signals over long distances unaffected. Analogue systems provide a host of challenges in transmission and distribution. In analogue implementation, the logical and physical connections are one and the same implying that most connections are point-to-point with each cable representing individual channels. Analogue audio for instance requires copper cables for signals, but these systems offer little flexibility to accommodate ...

The functional imperatives of Talcott Parsons dominated the field throughout his entire life. Talcott Parson viewed society as a collection of interacting units, organizations and institutions. In his mind, social systems came about to give solution to particular problems in the society. Parson’s main goal was to integrate personality and social systems (Ritzer 1992, 22). According to Parson, any action system, if it is to preserve its equilibrium, it must meet four functional imperatives largely known as AGIL scheme: the function of pattern maintenance, the function of goal attainment, the function of adaptation, and the function of integration. ...

A)Pathophysiology of crocidolite.

Pathophysiology refers to both the pathological and physiological effects of a disease or injury. Crocidolite is a type of asbestos which is blue in color which has very thin fibers hair like fibers. This makes it the most dangerous type of asbestos as these thin fibers are very easily inhaled when blown by the wind where the asbestos occurs naturally (Australia) and when people are working with it especially during mining. This type of asbestos is used mainly for insulation as it is sprayed on walls, ceilings, boilers ovens and pipes. Crocidolite falls under the category of respirable dusts. These ...

HIV/AIDS could be considered an incurable disease that fosters both health complications and discrimination or isolation to befall on the patient. People who are not familiar with the signs and symptoms of the disease, as well as its effect on the patient, would find HIV/AIDS patients as an epidemic that must be avoided at all costs due to the chances of being inflicted with just a touch. Some groups would even blame HIV/AIDS patients due to their influence on the country’s economic and social development. However, this negative outlook and deliberate attempt to blame HIV/AIDS patients to isolate them ...

Abstract

Implementation of information systems involves a lot of processes that should be taken into consideration. Implementation of large scale information systems requires that care be taken so that the benefits that were initially sought are achieved. Grid computing is now making it possible to share resources which are not used. It has made it possible to have computer nodes which are idle in some location away and use their processing power. This is the power of grid computing. This paper will look at the implementation issues that arise with the implementation of grid computing by Synergy Finance Solutions. It will ...

Developmental psychology is a branch in psychology which relates to the physical, social, emotional, psychological and cognitive changes throughout a person’s life span, from conception until death. Throughout the history of developmental psychology, there are several theories which have evolved that seek to explain the various developmental stages in an individual. In the area of child development, two major theories are those advanced by Sigmund Freud and Erik Ericson. These two theories will be discussed and differentiated in greater detail in this essay. Freud’s theory on the developmental stages of an individual is described according to the psychosexual development. ...

Abstract

Dreams are usually unavoidable and they occur in series of succession when an individual is asleep. In case of wet dream, the person experiences thoughts and emotions that are enough to cause ejaculation and nocturnal emissions of vaginal fluids. During the dream, visions and symbols that have got images of erotic sexual scenes can also be apparent and these are enough to cause nocturnal emissions. Freud and Jungian established that these erotic dreams are common at puberty when the individual has enough sexual experiences to worry throughout the night. Thus the unconscious mind find ways of fulfilling its desires ...

Amazon Web Services provided for by Amazon was an original idea that was aimed at providing IT services on the web.
