Instrumentation Project :: Papers

Instrumentation Project The aim of this experiment was to calibrate a thermistor and having done this, to estimate my body temperature. [IMAGE]This is a diagram to show the circuit that we created in order to complete the aim. The thermistor that I used was a positive coefficient thermistor, meaning that the resistance increases as the temperature increases, this then leads to an increase in voltage. This circuit has created a potential divider. Two resistors in series divide the voltage across a circuit and form a potential divider. The output voltage is proportional to the input voltage, which is determined by the resistance. This is because of the following equation: V out = Vs x R1 (R1 + R2) This can be shown in the following examples, where the voltage supply is 5V and the fixed resistor (R2) is 100 ohms, R1 varies. In the first instance, it is 70 Ohms and in the second example R1 is 80 Ohms: 1) V out = 5 x 70 = 5 x 70 = 2.055 2) V out = 70 + 100 170 2) V out = 5 x 80 = 5 x 80 = 2.22 80 + 100 180 As you can see from these examples, the voltage has increased with an increase in resistance because the fractions were getting larger each time. The values that I used were realistic ones that appeared during my experiment. A resistor of 100 Ohms was one of the three that I chose to use and 70 Ohms was around the resistance of the thermistor at room temperature. When performing this experiment, I chose to put the voltmeter across the thermistor because it would give me an increasing voltage with an increasing temperature. If I had put the voltmeter across the fixed resistor, an inverse relationship would have been formed, which would have made analysis of data and finding my body temperature difficult. I also chose to use three different resistances on the sub box, which were 47, 100 and 200 Ohms.

Consumer or Industrial Warid is providing their packages at both levels. Consumer level is provided in this report, while, industrial level has variable domain, settled according to no. of connections and on the nature of packages according to line rents e. t. c. Buying Characteristics Warid is very much selective and stresses on value added purchases Market Potential Currently market is on SATURATION POINT as for Urban areas concern and as for as Rural Areas concern there is great POTENTIAL. Warid is going to launch its products in Semi-Urban and Rural Areas Product Positioning As Warid is new in the market of Pakistan and is still trying to make its position in the mind of customer better than existing big giant Mobilink. Although Warid is new in market but it has acquired a good position as for as Zero line rent post-paid connections and low rate pre-paid connections. In my point of view, as Warid launched its products in Pakistan with a MARKET PUSHER STRATEGY, while providing low rates, not only it has made its position better but also made other networks to reduce their prices. According to BCG matrix Warid falls under STARS, which shows its low market share and high growth rate. BCG model is given below, ? ? Product In market there are two basic categories of its product brands, which are ZAHI and ZEM. Zahi is meant for Post-Paid and Zem for Pre-Paid, their features and tariffs are given below.

The Plot in Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller Essay

Plot, characterization, and dialogue are the elements of drama that I’ve chosen to analyze for Death of a Salesmen. Willy seems to be in conflict with himself and everyone else in his life. Conflict is what drives the plot and will be the main element of drama that’s analyzed in this essay. In Death of a Salesman Willy is the protagonist and his son Biff is the antagonist, he provokes Willy’s anger by not holding a steady job and measuring up to what his father feels he should be. The plot in Death of a Salesman is dialogue driven and the theme of the play is the death of Willy’s career and his inability to become successful in life. He also has hopes of Biff doing something more with his life other than working as a farmhand. Death†¦show more content†¦Corrupted or brainwashed by the system, Willy is blind to its destructiveness and is obsessed by his plans for Biff. Biff, however, has begun to rebel against his father’s ideas and to feel his way towards different standards, meaning those that Miller associates with the socialist society. Unlike his brother Happy, he has â€Å"allowed himself to turn his face toward defeat† (Charters and Charters 1692). When Biff was younger it seems as though he and Willy were close. During one of Willy’s hallucinations from the past when Biff and Happy were kids, Biff says to Willy, â€Å"Where’d you go this time, Dad? Gee we were lonesome for you. Missed you every minute. Gee, I’d love to go with you sometime, Dad.† (Miller 30-31) This shows happier times between Willy and Biff. Throughout the play there seems to be resentment on Biff’s end. The reason for this isn’t revealed until later on in the play. When Willy goes to pay his neighbor and only friend Charley a visit it is revealed why Biff feels the way he does for his father. During a conversation with Charley’s son Bernard and Biff’s childhood friend Willy states nothing good ever happened to Biff from the age of seventeen. Bernard tells Willy all Biff had to do was go to summer school to make up math and asks him if he told Biff not to go. Willy says, â€Å"Me? I begged him to go. I ordered him to go!† Bernard asks, â€Å"Then why didn’t heShow MoreRelatedArthur Miller Criticism913 Words   |  4 Pages Arthur Miller is a highly distinguished author.

Symbolism Is The Use Of Symbols To Signify Important Meaning

Symbolism is the use of symbols to signify important meaning to things. These symbols could be basically anything in which a meaning is more than just the literal context. Hawthorne has several uses of symbolisms in his stories. Symbolism was very popular literary device during the Romantic period, where the object embodied some sort of idea. â€Å"The symbolism of his works focused on isolation and guilt of the individual, the uncertainties of good and evil, and the continual hold of the past on the present. Hawthorne focused on his Calvinist lineage and America s Calvinist ideological past, as well, in hopes of coming to terms and making sense of it. Hawthorne s writing is full of symbolic characters, settings, and objects. Hawthorne s†¦show more content†¦Another form of symbolism in The Scarlett Letter is Hester’s daughter, Pearl. Hester names her daughter Pearl is a being a great price and her mother’s only treasure. This meant that Hester paid a great pr ice to have Pearl. â€Å"In exchange for Pearl, she gave up everything else: her reputation, her community, and even her religion† (Shmoop Editorial Team). Lastly, the readers see a symbolism of the black man toward the end of the book. The black man is considered the expression of Satan. Hester thought the scarlet letter mark was the black man’s mark. The black man was considered to be evil and that is how it was symbolic in the story. â€Å"Hawthorne has a perfect atmosphere for the symbols in The Scarlet Letter because the Puritans saw the world through allegory. An allegory in literature is a story where characters, objects, and events have a hidden meaning and are used to present some universal lesson. For them, simple patterns, like the meteor streaking through the sky, became religious or moral interpretations for human events. Objects, such as the scaffold, were ritualistic symbols for such concepts as sin and penitence† (The Scarlet Letter). â€Å"You ng Goodman Brown† is a story that took place during the Salem Witch Trials. In this story, you see people accusing each other of being a witch. Smith summarized this story into, â€Å"Young Goodman Brown as he says goodbye to his wife of three months.

This area is a mild, mid-latitude climate characterized by warm-to-hot summers, precipitation with a summer maximum, and mild winter temperatures. Both Berkeley and Terre Haute lie within relatively the same latitudes, however, Berkeley lies in an area stabilized by the poleward migration of the subtropical high and relatively cool water of the Pacific Ocean (Hess, 2013). This brings dry weather to Berkeley. Terre Haute, however, does not benefit from this stability, and continues to experience precipitation throughout the summer months. In the areas of the Eastern United States, this effect is also contributed to by the influence of tropical cyclones. Berkeley, according to www.usclimatedata.com, has its highest precipitation levels during December thru February, which is typical of Csa climates (Hess, 2013). This peak of rainfall that is unbalanced with a typical increase of water demand during summer greatly stresses the water budget, and can result in a sever water deficit during summer months. Californians struggled with this through the summer of 2014, and according to an article by National Geographic, California will struggle with a water deficit of the amount necessary to provide water to 1.5 million homes. This is not only due to the climate of the region, but as it specifically applies to Berkeley,Show MoreRelatedFinal Exam Eco1441 Words   |  6 Pages(Logout) LearnCenter ââ€" º ECO518T022013 ââ€" º Quizzes ââ€" º Final Exam ââ€" º Review of attempt 1 Final Exam Review of attempt 1 Finish review Started on Wednesday, 27 March 2013, 06:09 AM Completed on Wednesday, 27 March 2013, 07:13 AM Time taken 1 hour 3 mins Marks 18/20 Grade Feedback 180 out of a maximum of 200 (90%) Excellent performance, you have clearly mastered this material and are ready to move on. 1 Marks: 1 In the case of agricultural goods: Choose one answer. a. the value of exportsRead MoreEssay on Unit 28: Project3118 Words   |  13 PagesExtended Range Fuel tanks HND Aeronautical engineering qcf Unit 28 Research Project August Patterson Fig. 1 Contents Topic | Page | Abstract | 3 | Assignment 1: | | 1.1 Formulate and record possible outline project specifications | 4 | 1.2 Identify factors that contribute to the process of project selection | 5 | 1.3 Undertake a critical review of key references | 6 | 1.4 Produce a research project specification | 6 | 1.5 Provide an appropriate plan and procedures for theRead More Mgt BSBPMG522A Assessment 1 10 11 1336 Words   |  6 Pagesï » ¿Assessment 1: Theory Questions Student Name: Click here to enter text.

Essay On Social Promotion Like A Race Example For Students

Essay On Social Promotion Like A Race Social Promotion an evil in this SocietyJohnny is a fifth grade student who is almost ready to graduate and move on to the sixth grade. Johnny however, can not multiply or divide. He cannot spell or read. Johnny fell behind in the third grade. His teacher overlooked his failure and promoted him so that he would not be held up socially. Johnnys fourth grade teacher promoted him to fifth grade hoping that he would catch up with his classmates. Johnny is now about to enter the sixth grade with the educational skills of a second grader. The situation described above is called social promotion. It is the process of moving children through grades regardless of learning or skill. For years it has been the common practice in education to move students from grade to grade because of chronological age (Mitzel 468). Students should have an adequate education in order to be equipped for the twenty- first and twenty-second century. The injustice of social promotion should be ended and society mus t discover the best route to achieve genuine student success. Students who are socially promoted have no skills for life. The number of social promotions each year nears two million (American Federation Teachers). Social Promotion shows children that no matter what grade they achieve they will be promoted. This creates two problems. Students will not work to achieve; laziness is created in children. Second, the students who work hard and learn the material are often overlooked so that a teacher may help a student who is behind because of social promotion. Social promotion was brought to the attention of the country when President Clinton gave his State of the Union Address in 1999. In this address he stated many educational goals such as a mandatory third grade reading goal and the reformation of the school system in order to equip it for the twenty -first centuries. Along these same lines the President has called an end to social promotion. President Clinton proposed not just to ho ld back failing students but to do something about their failure. Such as remedial classrooms, identifying weakness before it is too late, strengthening learning opportunities and placing strong well-trained teachers in classrooms (Galston 35). If a student was asked in the nineteenth century what grade she or he was in they would probably say something along the lines of, I sit in the fifth row or I have a blue reading book(Mitzel 450). There were no grade levels, which is most likely where social promotion found its roots. Although Social Promotion is a newly arising concern today: it has a long history. The process of promoting students no matter what their academic success has been the standard in education thus far. For example in Chicago alone more than 40,000 children failed standardized tests (Berg A2). Why are student allowed to slip though the fingers of education? For one thing it is easier to promote the student from grade to grade than it is to deal seriously with that students learning problem (Economist 33). This is the main reason for social promotion. It is the theory of if it isnt looked at then it isnt there. Teachers and administrators do not want to accept failure on their own parts or the students. This is a case where the educational needs of children take a back seat to administrative convenience (Economist 34). Students keep getting promoted to the next grade without the knowledge necessary to survive. Often it is thought that if a student is promoted then they will catch up in the following grade. This sets the next class behind because it is filled with some students who have the skills and some that do not and should not be in that specific grade level. The next teacher is at a loss for what level to teach, should they teach down at the non-skilled students and r isk losing the other students attention? Social Promotion occurs to avoid damaging their self-worth, then to assume that the child will catch up in later grades(McCormick 27). Administrators and teachers do not want to impair students self esteem by holding them back. Holding children back is thought to create embarrassment and low self worth in students. Children are often made to think less of themselves when made to repeat a grade, should we however combat this with telling a student that no matter their work or effort they will be promoted? How will this increase self esteem? Mrs. Crew, a fifth grade teacher, does not let one child leave her class due to social promotion, she says This is not about being punitive with kids, this is about caring so much about children that you will not let them fail (McCormick 27). This is the way to produce high self-esteem in students. Let them know their success is cared about. There are many reasons to justify Social Promotion but none of the m really make sense in the long run. .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400 , .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400 .postImageUrl , .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400 , .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400:hover , .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400:visited , .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400:active { border:0!important; } .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400:active , .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400 .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .uce765b96859909d05683f85246630400:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: The Road Not Taken EssayWe are giving educators a pass for lack of performance and we are putting kids on the street with pieces of paper that are essentially worthless (Toch 59). Each year young adults graduate from high school, and have no skills to maintain a job. The remedial training required by companies for these graduates in subjects like Math and English are outrageous. More than twenty percent of all businesses provide remedial training for high-school graduates, at an annual cost of billions (Galston 35). Doing something about the failure ahead of time is more reasonable than socially promoting students until graduation. In the heat of the promotion versus non-p romotion debate, the dropout rate is often not considered (Mitzel 468). Social promotion causes a high drop out rate. This theory lies behind Social Promotion, students that are held back more than once then they are most likely to drop out all together. However this has been proven false. If students are promoted with out learning the material they will become frustrated and therefore drop out later in their school careers. The second case is five percent more likely to occur than the first. It is not good enough to just end Social Promotion by retaining students in their failing grades. Creating a new set of rules about how students progress from grade to grade will not address the underlying problem, nor stop the policy seesaw between retention and promotion(GII). Students must be made to attend remedial training, summer school, pass exit exams and maintain a 2.0 GPA or above. Advancing students from grade to grade almost regardless of their level of learning (Toch 52) must be ended. Remedial training is the process of extending learning hours for students who need the extra help. This is often called Remedial Purgatory; students in Chicago are often placed in this kind of learning environment when their scores on exit exams are low (Berg A1). Summer school as it is now, is not going to help failing students. Some feel that summer school, a misguided effort to rescue socially promoted students, has also provided an incredible disincentive to work (General Internet Inc. ). Teachers need to spend time with their summer school students not just make them repeat the material that hey have already failed to learn, this must be an opportunity to teach these students in a different way. Finally there must be defined grade level performance therefore students should be tested upon exiting a grade, even in elementary school. Students must be rewarded for their work Social promotion breaks down the school atmosphere. However, simply sending students to summer school and/or holding them back a grade may not be the answer either. Standards and policies must be set to intensive with failing students learning problems (American Federation of Teachers). It is clear that Social Promotion is unjust to both successful and failing students. These alternatives to Social promotion must be explored and immediately put into effect. The education system must no longer promote students unto failure. State educators must take action. There is no long an excuse to look over Social promotion. Changes have already been made in both Illinois and California; it is time that the rest of the nation realizes the need for this change and takes charge. America is proclaimed the most advanced nation in the world and we are putting our future in the hands of social promotion. Society needs to answer the Presidents plea help us end social promotion (Rothsten 95). This can be done by the remedies described above but also there must be more accountability from everyone involved in education in order to make children more successful (Berg A2). .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7 , .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7 .postImageUrl , .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7 , .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7:hover , .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7:visited , .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7:active { border:0!important; } .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7:active , .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7 .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u5af717859a56d447ecf58c6b2c2725c7:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Better Life with Cooking EssayJohnny is a fifth grade student, who in third grade did not grasp the basics of multiplication and division.

Pros and Cons of the Iq Test free essay sample

They do not test perception. They also dont account for abstract thinkers. IQ tests are very limited. They do not test how people see things, while a very brilliant person may not be able to construct a building out of legos. They might be able to postulate the theories of the universe but are so inarticulate they cant carry on a conversation for more than a few seconds. Their mind maybe a fantastic place of formulas and ingenious plans but theyre trapped there, unable to be conveyed to others or vise versa. Con’s- IQ test I believe can be used to stereotype individuals which may limit them. The test also is very limited in predicting non-test or non-academic activities. The long term predictions are inaccurate. They are not concerned with the underlying processes involved in problem solving. They focus on the final product or outcome rather than on the steps involved in reaching the outcome. We will write a custom essay sample on Pros and Cons of the Iq Test or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page The practitioner may apply labels quickly and easily, without attempting to examine the specific strengths and weaknesses. A person that is familiar with the test will have a better advantage over others. These tests are mainly focused on language and math, suggesting if you are weak in those areas your results will be lower. If a child takes it and has a high score it will help determine if he/she should be placed in advanced classes, and it can also help detect if a person is in need of extra help. Behavioral observation during the test can also help provide personality traits. PRO’s-I believe that the IQ test can be used to identify individuals that may need extra help or some type of learning assistance. Behavioural observation while taking the IQ test can also provide a lot of useful information about the individual taking the test; were they anxious or stressed during the process? Key indicators will be useful for this. The test is highly standardized, highly validated and reliable so you can feel comfortable that the outcome is reliable and accurate. I believe that some people with a high IQ will brag about their results, also it gives some sort of crude measures of a person potential. The test is not culture free and fair and it creates discrimination. The results are more dependent upon your experiences rather than what you have learned or know. It will also serve as a tracking record for ongoing education. The intelligence test only measures a sample of the person’s behavior and situations in which intelligent behavior is revealed. The test doesn’t provide a accurate reading on how a person functions in everyday living and situations, it doesn’t capture ones social knowledge and creativity. It does not capture real life situations. The tests will not test for perception and it does not account for the individuals that may be abstract thinkers. I am very intelligent, but my IQ is around 90 which is average. The test doesn’t also take into consideration if the person happens to be dyslexic. I believe that there are several contributing factors to the IQ test that can effect or contribute to results such as: The conditions in the testing room, if there are any distractions. If the child had a good night sleep or a balanced meal before the test. His or her testing ability, are they not a good tested or do they freeze up while taking tests. If a person is coached before the test is may affect their results and if you are familiar with the test does that mean it isn’t a true score? Maturity will also play a role (now sometimes referred to as emotional intelligence) is extremely important, but it isnt tested in IQ tests. For instance, you may be advanced at math’s and physics, but it may be of limited use if get angry or frustrated easily. You need to get along with others, stick up for yourself without violence, and be sensitive to those around you and so on. Losing your temper easily when you are frustrated will cause no end of problems and not just with peers. I personally don’t agree with all the pros and cons of the IQ test but society in this day and age does like to use it and I believe that this is a good way to label an individual early on, and once you are labeled it is too tough to have it changed. I don’t really think I am a good test taker so I know my results are not a true and accurate one, some people are better taking a test face to face.
