Even though I prefer theMontessori education program, it is a great choice because I […]

Professional Swimmer Injury StatisticsSwimming is a sport that combines upper and lower body strength exercises with cardio training in water and sometimes land environments. There are four strokes in competitive swimming: freestyle, butterfly, backstroke, and breaststroke. With extensive training comes injury. Competitive swimmers are more inclined to musculoskeletal injuries of the upper limb, knee, spine, and the occasional ear infection  than the casual swimmer. Competitive swimming injuries are extremely common. A study of the National Collegiate Athletic Association or NCAA in 2009 by Wolf et al in the American Journal of Sports Medicine looked at injury rates for the men’s […]

1Onychomycosis and TerbinafineAshton, R., Leppard, B., Cooper, H. (2014). Differential Diagnosis in Dermatology. (4th ed.). Florida: CRC Press. According to Ashton, Leppard, and Cooper (2014) onychomycosis, also known as tinea unguium or fungal nail infection, is caused by dermatophyte (Greek for ‘skin-plant’) fungi which multiply on the nail plate while living off the keratin within the nail itself causing it to become brittle, discoloured and thickened. Usually seen in toenails due to their slower growth rate and thus enabling the infection to take hold, Ashton, R. Leppard, B and Cooper, H. (2014) point out that they can be challenging to […]

The strength of the linear correlation between the bivariate data has to be tested to see if there is a linear correlation between the bivariate data. The PPMCC, denoted by r measures the strength and direction of the linear correlation between the bivariate data and takes on the range of -1 ?r ?1. When the value of  r=0, it only shows that there is no linear correlation between the bivariate data but it does not suggest that any other forms of relationship between the bivariate data do not exist.It is important to note that in specific contexts, the significance of […]

the tumor area is computed for each images. The results obtained from simulation are tabulated in table1. The relative error (RE) of each method for different tumor area is computed as:?A ? A’?RE (%) = ??? 100(17)’?A???where A is the tumor area measured by different approachesand A’ represents the tumor area as furnished by an expert radiologist. The comparison of relative errors using FCM, KM, MCWS, and RG methods are given in table 2. Afterapplying each algorithm one by one on all mammographic images, following statistics parameters are evaluated for further analysis 18:(i) Sensitivity = Detected true positives / Real […]

Why Do They Fail? Statistics show that most people who begin high school finish. Some drop out, of course, but approximately three-quarters earn a diploma. At the post-secondary level, however, fewer than two-thirds of the students complete their program of study. Why do so many college and university students drop out? Knowing the factors that prevent students from completing their post-secondary programs may prove crucial to you regardless of whether you are presently a college student or thinking of becoming one.Most educators agree that the principal causes of failure are lack of basic skills, lack of study skills, and lack […]

Tests have come to a completely different level. They are now physically and mentally harming students which is affecting their grades. It is certain that tests are non beneficial for students because they don’t allow students to […]

INTRODUCTION1.     HUMANORAL MICROBIOME:Humansare not autonomous organisms, they are biological units which include numerousmicrobial symbionts. Genomes of the microbial symbionts are also included. Ourhealth and well-being is determines by the microbes which are present in and onour body. The association of the human being and their symbiotic microbes leadsto the creation of a ‘superorganism’ or holobiont. JoshuaLederberg coined the term ‘microbiome’.  Itdenotes the ecological community of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenicmicroorganism that are present in and on our body surfaces. The mouth is one ofthe most common site for the presence of such microbiome. Approximately280 bacterial species from the oral cavity have been isolated […]

Name: Instructor: Course: Date: Applying Creative and Critical Thinking I was the group leader of an academic group where we had been assigned duties. The course was Statistics and the instructor had given out assignments to each group. The final exam would involve a debate on the Introduction to Probability. Our group comprised of four people and we decided to distribute roles. I was given the role of researching for the materials for the presentations of the debate. This presented a problem for me in that I was also in charge of the group. The cause of the problem was […]
