A thesis is a concise statement of your argument, usually written in one sentence. It must be more than simply a restatement of the topic you are addressing—it should let the reader know about the conclusions you have reached in the process of your reading and research. As Mary Lynn Rampolla writes, “A thesis is not a statement of fact, a question, or an opinion, although it is sometimes confused with all these things. Neither is a thesis the same as the topic…. A thesis informs the reader about the conclusions you have reached…. As a result, the thesis is the central point to which all the information in the paper relates.”1…
Within the plain, white, confining walls that border our composition classroom in the depths of the Netherlands core, there sits a student who is so completely opposite to the barriers that surround us all. As an avid participant in classroom discussions, she is easy to notice amongst the blur of faces as one looks around the circle of occupied desks. Positivity and intelligence simply radiate from her aura, bringing the rest of the students, including myself, out of our own stupors and back into a mentality that is prepared to learn. I came to know her beyond the handmade name tag reading “Kelsey” that sits tall before her every Tuesday and Thursday morning. Kelsey Picciano is an indispensable contributor to our class. With her unmistakably sensible personality, passionate drive for leadership, and inextinguishable positivity, she is the person who makes our class more responsive to the infinite possibilities of new ideas and theories that we explore.…
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known by her stage name of Lady Gaga, has truly revolutionized popular music in the era since 2010. She helped to make synthetic pop music more popular and mainstream, while also causing a change in what people consider ‘normal’ with her lyrics and behavior. Her music is odd, along with her aura and stage personification. Her music also inspires millions of people to accept themselves and spread love. Ms. Germanotta is also a very popular and influential advocate for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning community. While she has not publicly identified as a member of this group, she continually fights for equal rights of all her fans, the LGBT community being a large section of her fan base.…
In this thesis work, a new indoor people counting algorithm is created by using Omron D-6T thermal sensor and Raspberry Pi. The sensor periodically generate thermal map of heat emitted in its field of view which is a one dimension array and pass the array to Raspberry for further processing. The people counting algorithm is created in Raspberry Pi by processing thermal map generated by D6T. After processing the number of people indoor is obtained. This chapter presents the hardware structure used including D6T thermal sensor and Raspberry Pi, moreover the people counting algorithm is discussed in detail.…
Industrial Automation is a discipline that includes knowledge and expertise from various branches of engineering including electrical, electronics, chemical, mechanical, communications and more recently computer and software engineering. Automation and control by its very nature demands a cross fertilization of these faculties, a vast and diverse discipline that encompasses machinery, electronics, software, and information systems working together toward a goal. Industries around the world are in the need to make sure process variable measurements such as pressure, temperature level and flow are precise and accurate. It is a fact that are subject to different environmental conditions, such as pressure, heat, dust, radiation, and many more factors that affect its performance this cause the instrument to have drifts making them not absolutely stable at all times. Calibration is the process of comparing measurements. Measurements are taken on two devices the first measurement being that of a known correctness and the second one being a similar measurement, on another device. The device holding the known correctness is referred to as the standard. The second device is commonly known as the test unit, unit under test, test instrument, or any other name given to the device that is being calibrated.…
Objectives:This paper seeks to provide an overview of the initiatives that are proceeding internationally to develop standards for the exchange of electronic health record (EHR) information between EHR systems. Methods:The paper reviews the clinical and ethico-legal requirements and research background on the representation and communication of EHR data, which primarily originates from Europe through a series of EU funded Health Telematics projects over the past thirteen years. The major concepts that underpin the information models and knowledge models are summarised. These provide the requirements and the best evidential basis from which HER communications standards should be developed. Results: The main focus of EHR communications standardisation is presently occurring at a European level, through the Committee for European Normalisation (CEN). The major constructs of the CEN 13606 model are outlined. Complementary activity is taking place in ISO and in HL7, and some of these efforts are also summarised. Conclusion: There is a strong prospect that a generic EHR interoperability standard can be agreed at a European (and hopefully international) level. Parts of the challenge of EHR interoperability cannot yet be standardised, because good solutions to the preservation of clinical meaning across heterogeneous systems remain to be explored. Further research and empirical projects are therefore also needed. Haux R, Kulikowski C, editors. IMIA Yearbook of Medical Informatics 2006. Methods Inf Med 2006; 45 Suppl 1: S13644.…
“My name is Mrs. Neila and I will be filling in for your teacher today.” The words flew out of her blue lips and into the children’s ears. She strutted up and down the aisles of desks handing each student a sheet of math problems. “You will have five minutes to complete this sheet, good luck.”…
