“Grades don’t prepare children for the ‘real world’- unless one has in mind a world where interest in learning and quality of thinking are unimportant” (Kohn, 9). Grades, as we all know, have been the ultimate form of estimating how much of a certain subject someone has learned for many years. As the years have passed however, new innovative ways to help the way kids learn, other than judging them with numerical values and letters, have surfaced that can possibly rid us of this barbaric system.

The objective of the proposed internship can be divided into the following sub-objectives – 1) develop a control strategy with variable operating switching frequency to dynamically control current ripple and reduce system losses, and 2) develop a current control strategy to improve dynamic response for the two level inverter fed PMSM drive; while taking into account the effect of different operating regions and drive design parameters. More specifically the following tasks will be accomplished for

simulated using IE3D simulator. The antenna is analyzed by circuit theory concepts to practically verify the results. The results pertaining to various functional parameters of the multiband micro strip patch antenna such as RL, Gain and Radiation pattern versus frequency are obtained. Keywords:-Dual U- Slot Loaded Stacked Patch, H-Slot loaded Fed Patch, RL(Return Loss), IE3D,Microstrip Patch antenna, Multiband Antenna I. Introduction Every communication system is primarily focused on the usage

ABSTRACT Crime and corruption have become rampant today in our society and countless money is lost each year due to white collar crime, fraud, and embezzlement. This

Extreme Programming (XP) has spent the past decades under perpetual scrutiny by software developers fixated on up front design methodologies. The idea behind this is simple: if you want to make sure something is well built, you must design it well first, then put it together using reliable tools. For objects such as houses, cars, or tables, of which the design evolves gradually throughout decades, the methods of up front design suffice. Computer programs, on the other hand, are products often made

rotation invariant and the size of the features increases exponentially with the number of neighbors which leads to an increase of computational complexity in terms of time and space. 2.2.1 Noise Adaptive Binary Pattern (NABP) Noise adaptive binary pattern [12] is a modification of local binary pattern. Though LPB is one of the most powerful method for feature extraction but it has a lack of discriminative power and sensitive to noise. LBP may produce same

The Nike corporation uses a mix diversity in product to help emphasizes its generic strategy for competitive advantage.Obliiously, this is a prime example of how a business goes about achieving, maintaining, accomplishing, and dominant in competiveness. While the Nike organization does focus on intensive growth strategies it also uses research development and other innovations. In which this would be another good example of what and how they make strives to grow the company for its advancement.

Mr. Ray Kurzweil, renowned inventor and author of The Singularity is Near, wrote in 2001 that technological progress was increasing twofold every decade, “We won’t experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century-it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today’s rate)” (qtd. in Berman and Dorrier). We are only in the beginning of the 21st century and yet technology is advancing faster than our ability to adapt! Technology has given society convenience and a higher standard of living

There are many reasons why homework should be limited. Some say that it is better for students because they will learn to manage their time. Others believe that they amount of homework given causes too much stress, which leads to students giving up. Three reasons why homework should be limited to a smaller amount is first, after school activities as well as jobs and church can get in the way. Second teachers will have more time to themselves instead of being stuck and grading papers and third students

“Grade Inflation Gone Wild” by Stuart Rojstaczer discusses how the grading system has changed over the years. Rojstaczer overall purpose it to call to action by first persuading his readers why it is necessary to stop grade inflation. He argues that “changes in grading have had a profound influence on college life and learning.” He utilizes tools such as rhetorical situations and appeals to persuade his audience. For instance, Rojstaczer implements data to prove how the grading system has changed
