Floating point is a numerical-interpretation system in which strings of digits or bits represent real numbers. A system of arithmetic is defined to permit these representations to be manipulated with resultant being similar to the arithmetic operations done over real numbers. The representation uses an explicit designation of where the radix point should be located relative to the string. In computing, fixed-point number representation is a real data type representing a number with a fixed number of digits before and after the radix. The most common way of representing floating-point numbers in computers is the IEEE 754 standards or ...

Environmental Studies

The need for a precise forecasting of the impacts of climate change on the future distribution of the Earth's principle biome is increasing. In this paper, forecasting methods covered include: the niche-theory models which categorize species by habitat (particularly environmental conditions where species may persist or perish). The general circulation models and the species-area curve models which consider large groups of species or all species.
The existing climate models based on approximations of increasing carbon dioxide and, to some extent, by lessening sulfate aerosols, forecast that temperatures will rise by 2.5-10.4oF (1.4-5.8oC) between the year1990 and 2100. Greater warming ...

Yoel E Stuart and Jonathan B Losos’ article “Ecological character displacement: glass half full or half empty?” looks into the past notions on Ecological Character Displacement (ECD), and how the notions changed over the years. In addition, they also did a literature review on several past and recent studies. ECD is based on the notion that sympatric species compete for scarce resources; hence, the species that natural selection should favor the species to diverge in the usage of resources and phenotype (Stuart & Losos 402). Over the years, ECD has received both acceptance and rejection from the science community; hence, ...

A theory collectively organizes a series of evidences, observations, generalizations from a series of hypotheses under a specific assumptions and limitations to describe and predict phenomena. The validity of a theory depends on its strength to withstand falsifiability and its application to the real world. Theories could be classified based on their scope and level of generalization within the hierarchy of knowledge (Elo et al., 2013). In social sciences, there is a distinction in the characteristics of a grand theory and middle-range theory.
Grand theories consist of a very broad scope of general framework that focuses on the natures ...

Abstract

As we know, we have a set of control measurement to get the pH at 6.5. However, these settings are not giving required result. So, within our accessible resources, we will conduct a factorial experiment on two levels to find the best setting to get the pH reach 6.5 +/- 0.5. The details of the plan are given below.

Level 1

In this experiment, we will make slight changes into the variables of temperature, pressure and process time. By using the formula we have to find the coefficient and the estimated effect. We will design this experiment with the lowest settings ...

Final Report

Our goal is to design a system that would be used to measure the temperature by changing resistances. The system would work in a solid medium but we would also try to make it functional in liquid mediums such as oil, fuels and such other liquids. This instrument should be able to measure the temperature of the liquids from -259.15 °C to 400 °C and we should have a resolution of ±0.018 V.

Abstract

This experiment aims at determining the Young’s Modulus (E) by using the strain gauge technique. It is determined for a simply supported beam by measuring the strain in the beam when it is loaded in 3 point bending. i.e. load is applied exactly at the center of the beam. The bending of a beam is an example of Hooke’s Law, which states that, when an elastic body is strained in any way, the deformation is directly proportional to the applied stress provided the body is not strained beyond its elastic limit. In this experiment, Young’s Modulus ...

Introduction

In general, markets do not adjust automatically to bring about equilibrium. Thus, historically, many economists, including John Keynes, recommended the need for government intervention. In his book, ‘ The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money’, Maynard Keynes asserts that the government should intervene actively in order to manage the level of aggregate demand in an economy so as to bring about desired level of employment and output. His argument is attributed to the fact that wages are rigid and, thus, may not fall enough to clear the market and solve the unemployment problem. Broadly, the government can intervene in ...

1.1 Introduction
In typical industrial applications, the machines and equipment involved require high electrical ratings, like high voltages and high currents. Different machineries have varying voltage and current ratings. These ratings should be followed in order that the equipment operates properly whenever needed. However, undesirable conditions, like voltages and currents above the prescribed ratings (usually called as faults), are not totally unavoidable. In these conditions, damages on the machinery might occur which can cause production issues and problems, and may even be hazardous to humans. These conditions can be avoided by integrating protective circuitry within the electrical systems.
