(Student’s Full Name) Summary and Synthesis of the Article, “A Model of Scrolling of Touch Sensitive Displays”

Summary

The article, “A Model of Scrolling of Touch Sensitive Displays” essentially discusses the significance of conducting research on users’ behaviors while scrolling on touch sensitive displays. Zhao et. al. argue that although panning and flicking of touch sensitive displays are similar to traditional scrolling methods used on devices which do not possess touch sensitive displays, they, in essence, require a multi-step method that is not as simple as using indirect input techniques such as “rolling the mouse wheel or dragging the ...

Culturally Sensitive Counseling of Asian Americans

Abstract Culturally sensitive counseling is integral especially in a multicultural and multilingual society such as the United States.

Critical period is a hypothesis in linguistics on whether language acquisition is linked to age. According to Davutoglu (152), this hypothesis states that there is an ideal window of acquiring language in an environment that is linguistically rich. Hence, from the hypothesis, after this period, language acquisition becomes hard, and it requires a lot of effort to learn. The crucial time to acquire language is before a person reaches adolescent so long as sufficient stimuli are provided. Therefore, after the critical period, an individual never acquires full competency in learning a second language.

However, evidence of this is limited, and people rely on ...

DISCUSS THE ROLE OF ION CURRENTS IN DETERMINING THE SHAPE AND DURATION OF CARDIAC ACTION POTENTIAL

Introduction Selective permeability to various ions is an important characteristic of cell membranes, one that determines myriad cellular functions. In animal cells, ion permeability and the electrical potential generated thereof determines the activity of neurons, myocytes and the like. The electrical potential depends on the concentration of the ions inside and outside any given cell, the permeability of the cell membrane to the ions and the ion channels that are present on the surface of the cell. Cardiac cells also possess different ion channels on their surface. These determine the two types of electrical potentials, namely, resting membrane ...

Federal, State, and Local Governments Communication

Communication among the different levels of government is important for the running of a country.

Introduction

Medical identity theft and data security breaches have become quite commonplace these days with thousands of reports registered every year. As healthcare management grows increasingly reliant on computerized patient record, more of such issues concerning privacy, security and confidentiality breaches are coming to the fore. The total automation of patient record makes the confidentiality of information vulnerable to unauthorized access and therefore nurses and physicians who have authorized access to the information should be more responsible for keeping the data secure from all kinds of insidious infiltration. Unauthorized access is not the only security challenge facing the healthcare management. ...

Epistemic contextualism had recently emerged as hotly debated and controversial topic among many philosophers. Contextualism elaborates a collection of philosophical views suggesting that utterance, action, or expression can only be understood with respect to the context they occur. The scope of the context subject has provided the hub for the controversial argument to many philosophers. This is because “context” does not certainly refer to elements of the putative focus of knowledge or objective condition but rather the elements of the knowledge attributor’s psychology. In other words, some philosophers like Conee believes that what is deemed to vary is the ...
