In the article Embraced by the needle by Gabor Mate published Aug 27 2001 argues that addictions are caused from unhappiness. The drugs are only there as a way to numb pain that a person has experienced. Drugs themselves are not addictive‚ less than 15 % of people who use any substance end up in an addictive state. That 15% consists of people who have had a troubled child hood or have been raided in bad atmosphere when young. Human growth occurs mainly at birth‚ this includes physical and emotional

A positive feedback loop occurs when the production of a reaction leads to an increase in that reaction. If a system is in homeostasis‚ a positive feedback loop moves a system further away from the target of equilibrium. It does this by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. An example of this type of feedback loop in the endocrine system is occurs during childbirth. When labor begins. The baby’s head is pushed downwards‚ resulting in an increased

What is an infinite loop? Write the code for an infinite loop. An infinite loop is a sequence of instructions in a computer program which loops endlessly. Example of an infinite loop: Set k = 1 While k < = 5 Display k End While 7. A FOR loop looks like what other loop in a flowchart? A For loop looks like a count-controlled loop. 8. Why is it critical that accumulator variables are properly initialized? An accumulator is used to keep a running total of numbers. In a loop‚ a value is usually

Phase Locked Loop: The phase-lock-loop (PLL) is commonly used in microprocessors to generate a clock at high frequency (Fout=2GHz for example) from an external clock at low frequency (Fref = 100MHz for example). The PLL is also used as a clock recovery circuit to generate a clock signal from a series of bits transmitted in serial without synchronization clock (Figure below). The PLL may also be found in frequency demodulation circuits‚ to transform a frequency varying waveform into a voltage.
