studies in human disease. Epidermis is a human cell culture that has replaced animals in skin irritation test. Epidermis places substances in the culture to see if any chemicals bore into the outer skin. This model determines the level of potential skin damage or irritation. “Skin and eye models made from…

Regardless of whether one lives in an area with a high deaf population, there will always be those who are deaf or hard of hearing. There are also many children with disabilities that keep them from being able to verbally communicate. These citizens primarily rely on Sign Language to communicate, but hearing people often have a difficult time understanding them. As it is with any other language, hearing people are ignorant because they don’t understand sign language and haven’t had a chance to…

Deaf Culture is an entirely different world in itself. I have been submerged in Deaf Culture from the time that I was very small so it feels mostly normal to me. For a long time, the hearing people around me were the “culture shock” and not the Deaf Culture. As I became older, it became easier for me to see the vast differences between the two and ultimately grow an appreciation for both worlds. Since I can’t give an interesting ‘a-ha’ story, I will explain what I think is fascinating about Deaf…

The event I attended was a one time lecture held at the University of Pennsylvania on October 10 from 5:00-6:30. The lecture was a presentation of the research done by Erin Wilkinson, a Linguistics professor with the University of Manitoba. The research presented specifically focused on how lexical information (concepts) are processed in the minds of Deaf adults and children as compared to their hearing counterparts. Information about this event was presented on the syllabus of this course.…

a.) Describe the establishments you visited (include location/ major intersection), the waiting-line model in use, and your overall experience. State the wait times for each line you were in.

Costco is a well-known for excellent customer service and product pricing. I believe that Costco uses the single-phase system. Customers arrive at one of 20+ checkout…

problem in finding a route for a light path with wavelength assigned to the light path is submitted as the routing and wavelength assignment problem (RWA). The problem of RWA is divided into two parts : Routing and Wavelength Assignment. In the traffic model, the RWA problem is considered as either Static Light path Establishment (SLE) [14] where the idea is to minimize the number of wavelengths wanted to accommodate the given connection set or Dynamic Light path Establishment (DLE) idea is to…

The term Agile was popularized was popularized by the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. The principles and values outlined in this manifesto were derived from a broad range of software development processes and practices. The four central tenets of the Agile Manifesto are as follows:  Individuals and interactions over processes and tools  Working software over comprehensive documentation  Responding to change over following a plan  Collaborating with customers over contract…

of health based on a health model as to not act completely on ignorance. My definition of health is as follows: health is considered a state of being, whether good or bad, that is ultimately influenced by one’s personal decisions. In other words, it is something that can be helped or harmed by modifying behaviors whether they be physical, emotional, psychological…

“Through Deaf Eyes” is an eye-opening movie about the world and culture of deaf people. It made me question my previous thoughts and opinions about deaf people and the differences in “Earth” and “Eyeth.” My personal perceptions were altered quite drastically in terms of how some deaf people perceive themselves and the attitudes hearing people have towards them. Many deaf people do not see themselves as having a problem in need of fixing, they just accept it as a trait. Alternately, many hearing…

is being faced by the Software Industries is their wiliness to choose and implement the current trending agile methodologies and how the framework can be implemented and make it running. When compared to the traditional approach of the Water fall model, where development is handled as a linear series of event from conception to production, I would recommend Scrum as its approach is granular and phase wise. The term “Scrum” comes from rugby. It refers to the Scrum as the motion of the entire team…
