Essays on Numerical

A digital image is a numerical representation of (usually binary) a two-dimensional image. It could be of the vector or the raster type. Normally, the phrase “digital image” refers to raster or bitmapped images. Raster images possess a fixed amount of digital values, which are called picture elements or pixels. Every image has a fixed number of rows and columns of these pixels. The pixels are stored in the memory of computers as raster images consisting of arrays of numbers. These are stored and transmitted in compressed formats (Sprawls, 2017). Computers are able to produce descriptive information about a ...

“If it has ‘science’ in its name, it ain’t (Minnick).” Those words were said to this writer by the smartest person he ever knew personally, a man with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics, a true scientist. He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

Abstract

This paper explores how research methodologies can be used to resolve organizational issues. Using Starbucks as the company of focus, this paper discusses the qualities of qualitative and quantitative research and how they can be used for investigation and analysis in an organizational setting. It is hypothesized, for instance, that the decline in Starbucks’ sales as well as the poor performance of some of its stores is due to poor customer service. The concept of customer service, however, is too abstract to measure directly. However, this hypothesis can be determined using qualitative research methods as opposed to the quantitative ...

Parent’s Influences and Responses to Children’s Risk-taking in Outdoor Play

Introduction Parents play an integral role in guiding their children in making crucial decisions in life, especially when it comes to risk taking. Although in most instances children depend on their direct experiences to react appropriately to risky situations it is apparent that parents also influence their ability to make sound decisions in such situations. When children are young most of these decisions are influenced by their parents since they control most of the activities they engage in. As children grow older, they start gaining independence in handling several tasks thus they take a greater responsibility for their decisions. ...

Abstract

Although obliged to cover issues in their entirety, with no distortions made in the process, American media tend to misrepresent the reality, as was the case with the depiction of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime implications for the social welfare possibly for political reasons. The noble cause of saving the international image of the USA formerly allied with the late leader in the wake of the Gaddafi demonization could have been the driving force of misrepresentation of the myth related in part to ethical minorities. The knowledge of non-consequentialism and its principles, whether unconsciously or otherwise, allows readers to perceive ...

Definitions

Statistics Canada (2013) defined the term data as “facts or figures from which conclusions can be drawn”. Thus, facts or figures that can support any conclusion cannot be considered a data. Meanwhile, information is “data that have been recorded, classified, organized, related, or interpreted within a frame so that meaning emerges” (Statistics Canada, 2013). Thus, an unorganized or an uninterpreted data are purely data and cannot be considered as information. When meaning or conclusion is derived, only then can data is transformed into an information. Both data and information occur in various forms, oftentimes in a numerical form. In ...

In Robin Evans’s “In Front of lines that leave Nothing Behind,” the writer argues that architectural reviewers tend to perceive architecture as forms of “iconology” that needs to be examined to determine the “meaning” that exists “behind, beneath, or within” the “subjects” that they are critiquing (482). Furthermore, Evans explains that the “critic” or architectural reviewer often goes in “search of origins, essences, intentions, motives, causes” of the “appearances” presented by an architectural design (482). However, one may not always depend on the “architect’s” “intention” to “orient” his work “towards us,” especially as ...
