INTRODUCTION The human brain has a remarkable ability to manage the body functions, and process the information that allows us to act on a changeable external environment. To achieve these functions, during evolution, it developed a large computing power, and specialized functions, such as cognition, emotion and consciousness. With approximately 86 billion neurons (Herculano-Houzel, 2009), each neuron has approximately hundreds up to thousands of synapses, it has high structural complexity, and non-linearity, that endows with a rich dynamic. It is also a physical system composed of neurons that communicate with each other through electrical discharges. With that in mind, it is no coincidence that the main model used in neuroscience to describe…
Critical Review of the Seven Habits of a Systems Savvy Person Introduction In chapter ten of Dynamic Systems for Everyone, Ghosh Asish mentions the seven habits of a systems savvy person. He discusses the differences between looking at the whole phenomena to understand the whole systems and looking at the system in parts to check each parts’ property. The author discusses how the principle of all phenomena can help a systems savvy person create the right mental and conceptual models…
A Critical Review of the Seven Habit of a Systems Savvy Person Introduction In Dynamic Systems for everyone chapter ten, Ghosh Asish mentions the seven habits of a system savvy person. He discusses what the differences are between looking all phenomena to understand the systems and looking to the systems into their parts to examine each part properties. The author discusses how the principle of all is better than the holistic world view can help a system savvy person to create right…
Our body as we know it is a complex system as well as the class room environment where skill learning takes place. This is due to the multiple moving parts inside the systems. Complex systems also have other facets to them such as having multiple levels to them, having attractor states to do things in certain ways, having self-emergent discovery, affordances constraints, as well as things working together independently but together as a whole. Our bodies being complex as well as the class room…
foundational studies and theories were established. These “schools of thought” were differentiated by support for either rational or natural systems as well as administrative practices. Central themes across the literature examined the primary differences between rational and natural systems and the selected schools of thought. Theories such as “Taylor’s Scientific Management”, “Fayol’s Administrative Theory”, “Weber’s Theory of Bureaucracy”, and “Simon’s Theory of Administration Behavior”…
They explain how the activity system define a group of people who share a common goal or motive. I completely agree on how an activity system allow certain communities are structurally connected. This is a great way to help you understand community relationships. Activity system is a good system because it “sees all aspects of activity as shaped over time by people’s social interactions with each other and the tools they use” (1). Everyone is in an activity system even if you don’t realize it.…
How Shake Shingle Metal Roofing Compares To Wood Shakes If you love the look of a wood shake roof but hate the thought of all the maintenance a wood roof needs, then you should consider getting a shake shingle metal roof instead. You'll have the look you like, but none of the upkeep required for real wood. Here's how the two types of roofing compare. Appearance You may imagine metal roofing to be in long sheets like you see on barns, but it actually comes in different forms. The metal can be…
Fundamentals of a Roof Warranty Learn the basics of roof warranties and what homeowners should know before they buy. Roofing contractors and roofing material manufacturers both offer a variety of warranties designed to protect their customers from incurring excessive costs in the event of roof damage. However, it is essential for homeowners to understand a few basics about warranties, including what they are and are not, why reading the fine print is important, and how a warranty can benefit…
The exoplanet Kepler-47 b was found in 2012 using transit method. It is the inner planet in an arrangement of 2 planets orbiting around Kepler-47system, located in the constellation of Cygnus in 4892 light years from the Sun. [7]. It is the smallest planet of the two present in system. Despite being the smallest circumbinary planet detected to this date, the inner planet, Kepler-47 b still has a radius of 3.0±0.1 Earth radii. In addition, too small to be measured directly, has been determined…
Indeed, even the competing stimuli are switched rapidly between the two eyes in humans, binocular rivalry still produced its normal slow alternation of perceptions. The discovered persistence of gradually dynamical rivalrous perceptions when stimuli are switched powerfully suggests that binocular rivalry occurs as a consequence of alternate stimulus representations compete within the visual pathway. Binocular rivalry thus affords an opportunity to study how the visual system decides what people…
