![]() There are several approaches to writing an introduction, each of which fulfills the same goals. Remember, they don’t know what you are going to write about, so orient them to your topic by beginning broadly. Think of your research paper as an educational piece of writing that you are creating for another student, but keep the tone and language formal. Keep your reader in mind – another student in another class. Don’t make the mistake of beginning too narrowly. Introductions may provide some historical background, may discuss the history of a controversy, may introduce the various factors that impact the topic, and probably introduce and define some of the key vocabulary that your reader may not know. At the end of the introduction, you may want to state your exact research question rather than a thesis. As in any paper, you want to move from general information that orients your reader to your topic, to more specific information that focuses more directly on what you are studying. Because you are writing more, you probably need to provide more background information. Research paper introduction may last two or more paragraphs. Keep your audience in mind and what they are likely to know about your topic before reading your paper. If you must write it first to get yourself going, be sure to rewrite after you have completed your conclusion. Write the introduction of your research paper last. ![]() Do not describe your research process of researching and writing in a literature review research paper (scientific research papers have a methodology section where the researcher does describe their research, but that’s not what you generally do in a first year composition course). The structure of a research paper is very much like that of a regular essay except that your main idea may not be as clear early on (check with your instructor about this), the introduction may be longer than usual, the body of the essay is much longer, and you use many more sources. You still bring in your own ideas, however, make the connections between everything, and come up with new ideas based on how you put together the ideas of other writers. However, even a literature review depends more on the research that other people have done than does a regular essay. We will focus on the literature review style of research paper, which is really like an extended essay. There are really two types of formal research papers: A scientific style research paper and a literature review style research paper. General Structure Guidelines for Research Papers

![]() The normal editor can open plugins with these extended scripts, but it cannot recompile them and will give errors if you try. Alternately you can create a shortcut to nvse_loader.exe, open the properties window and add "-editor" to the Target field. Open a command prompt window, navigate to your NV install direcory, and type "nvse_loader -editor". Scripts written with these new commands must be created via the G.E.C.K.

(ianpatt, behippo and scruggsywuggsy the ferret) The intersections between these components thus construct a new paradigm of musical composition and renegotiation, placing this dimension at a higher level of importance and meaning amid videogames and its cybercommunities.By Ian Patterson, Stephen Abel and Paul Connelly On the other hand, the perspectives on the concept of musical immersion, considered indispensable by composers and players, are particularly relevant: music in this medium and its compositional style is related to the idea of verisimilitude with a certain reality as a primary aspect in the player's involvement in the virtual universe with which he is interacting. It will be discussed the whole process of access, composition, availability, sharing and visibility of their compositions, their motivations, and personal discourses about the composition of music for video games. ![]() Through research, sources and interviews conducted to the mods composers, I intend to demonstrate the existence of a new model of online musical production and circulation, reflective of participatory culture age in which it is inserted. This dissertation focuses on the musical mods present in the Nexus Mods website in two of the video games that are hosted and managed by it: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Bethesda Softworks 2006) and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Bethesda Softworks 2011). ![]() While the areas of sociology, new media, game design, among others, already develop research on mods as a digital phenomenon of fan culture and its relationship with industries, concerning aspects of co-creative work and its surrounding cybercommunities, the field of musicology (both in the international and national academic worlds) is marked by the scarce research that contributes to the understanding and formulation of knowledge about musical mods that are created (or, in this case, composed) for videogames on which the creators of mods have bent over. This type of content is developed in a voluntary and free way through tools and softwares now available from video game companies and also on the internet with its due functions. One of these activities is music composition and production for this medium, available on music sharing platforms such as Spotify or Soundcloud, on Youtube and specifically in the format of modification files2. Videogame music itself has its own networked culture with its cybercommunities that discuss, share and create, thus allowing an open space of creativity and artistic activities in a digital and constant flow. Through the multiplicity of the fast, ever-growing digital communication and information sharing during the first years of 2000 to the present date, millions of online users produce, transform, criticize and circulate between them an endless amount of materials and contents. McGee first used the term desakota ("village-city") in relation to the incredible form of Java in Indonesia, with the densities of urban hinterlands greatly exceeding Western cities but with activity patterns remaining dispersed and linked to agriculture. Shanghai alone has a population of 28m, from a base of less than 7m in 1980.Īnother related form of megaregion comes from areas of dense agriculture that begin to urbanise with looser patterns of small scale industry. A second megacity region is in the Yangtze River Delta, based around Shangai. ![]() This 'Greater Bay Area' has grown from population of only 10m in 1980. In the Pearl River Delta, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Donguan have fused together to create a megacity region of 50m people (60m if Hong Kong and Macau are included). This process has created several of the world's biggest megacity regions, mainly located on the coast, as the economic growth of these cities has been based on manufacturing for exports, business services, and increasingly high-technology industries. In the last thirty years, China has undergone the largest process of urbanisation in history. A classic example is the northeastern seaboard of the USA, a megalopolis as Gottman termed it, stretching hundreds of miles from Washington through New York City to Boston, with around 50m people. In the early 20th century, geographers observed how rail and road networks were allowing rapidly growing cities to fuse together into vast sprawling conurbations. This is the world's largest agricultural region, supporting a population of around 450 million people in India and 120 million in Bangladesh. This is particularly the case along the Ganges plain in northern India, stretching nearly 2000km from just east of Delhi to Dhaka in Bangladesh. If we zoom in on India (click on links to focus the map), we can see the complexity of rural, peri-urban and urban landscapes, with thousands and thousands of villages, towns and cities in an intricate hierarchy. While India has many of the world's largest cities, it retains a huge rural population of around 900 million people. Both countries have a population of 1.4 billion, with India set to move ahead of China and reach 1.5 billion by 2030. India: the World's Most Populous CountryĪt the global scale, the world population density map highlights the immense concentration of humanity in India and China. Some introductory highlights from the data are discussed below with links for further information. This website has received 500,000 visitors since 2020, illustrating the widespread interest in global population geography. The GHSL records the complexity and diversity of human settlement, beyond simple rural-urban divisions. Integrating huge volumes of satellite data with national census data, the GHSL describes in detail the settlement geography of the entire globe, and has applications for a wide range of research and policy related to urban growth, development and sustainability. The data is from the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) 2023 produced by the European Commission JRC and the Center for International Earth Science Information Network at Columbia University. This interactive map shows population density in 2020, measured in residents per square kilometre. ![]() Light coloured cells have a low experimental georeferenced population figure, while dark coloured cells have a higher figure.Visualising Population Density Across the Globe The experimental georeferenced population figures are shown in ascending order.

In a distribution procedure, the results of intercensal population updates are redistributed from the municipality level to a smaller-area level by means of mobile network data. ![]() Most don't see very well, but the Jumping Spiders see very well. Spiders are very sensitive to vibrations, especially in their webs. A few tropical species live in groups in really big webs. Many species make complicated webs to trap prey and give themselves protection. Nearly all spiders live as solitary hunters, only finding another of their species to mate. Usually males die soon after they mate, it's only the females that can live longer. Most spider species live a year or less, but some large ones can live for several years. Breeding season Spring to Fall, depending on the species and location.įemale spiders often guard their eggs and young, or even carry them with them until the young have hatched and molted.The number varies among species and is affected by how well fed she is. How do they reproduce?Īfter mating adult female spiders lay dozens to hundreds of eggs. Unlike insects, some spider species keep growing after they become adults, and continue to molt as they get bigger. To grow they have to shed their exoskeleton, which they do many times during their lives. Spiders hatch from eggs, and the hatchlings look more or less like grown-up spiders, though sometimes their colors change as they age. These animals are found in the following types of habitat.There are even a few in shallow fresh water. Spiders survive in every habitat on land except the very coldest. That's not all of them though, there are thousands more we don't know about yet. Spiders are found on every continent, and there are over 40,000 species known to science. Also, spiders that live in peoples' houses often get moved around by accident when people move. Spiders are everywhere! Baby spiders are so light, they can put out a line of silk and float away on a breeze, and so they are spread around the globe. All spiders have fangs that they use to bite their prey with, and most have venom glands.įemale spiders are often much bigger than males. ![]() Different species of spiders have six or eight eyes, and the size and arrangement of eyes is different in different groups. These are used to grab prey, and in mating, and are much bigger in male spiders than in females. On the front of the cephalothorax are the mouth, the fangs, the eyes, and two small "mini-legs" called pedipalps. They have eight legs, all attached to the cephalothorax. The structures that produce the silk are called spinnerets. The abdomen contains the digestive and reproductive systems, and on the underside of it are the glands where silk is produced. All spiders have two body sections: the cephalothorax in front and an abdomen behind. ![]() No matter what the situation, it is important to remember that in almost all cases, these consequences can be avoided if you stay in regular communication with the school and your diabetes care provider, and you provide the proper documentation.If your child has a physical or mental disability, they may be eligible for a 504 Plan. Juvenile Delinquency Court: in some states, students who miss a certain number of days are required to appear in juvenile court in front of a judge.Often, these investigations will be closed with no finding of fault for the family. Sometimes CPS will need to do an investigation to determine whether absences were necessary. Child Protective Services (CPS) involvement: if a child misses many days of school, or if a school staff member is concerned about a child's health, the school might be required to report the situation to child protective services to investigate.The potential legal consequences are different in each state and can be serious. What could happen if my student misses too many days of school? Follow up with each teacher to create a plan to make up any missed work.In a notebook, keep track of each date your student is absent, the reason for the absence, a picture of the blood sugar recording or download of the meter's reading, and a copy of the doctor's excuse note. When your student is absent, immediately follow up with the attendance office to confirm that they received the excuse note and documented it properly.Have a discussion with your diabetes care provider about his/her procedures for providing an excuse note for a student encountering diabetes management difficulties without being seen by the provider. If your student reaches that number, many times you can obtain excuse notes from your child's diabetes care providers. Find out if your school has a rule, and keep track. Some schools limit the number of times a parent may excuse a student.Ask your diabetes care provider to write in his/her medical orders that the student may need to be absent from school on occasion if they are ill or having difficulties with their diabetes management.Some examples include: when the student is experiencing difficulties with blood sugar management, when your student has ketones, and due to physician's/clinic appointments. Double check that your student's 504 Plan states that your child will be excused from school for all diabetes-related absences.What can I do to make sure that my student's attendance is accommodated? ![]() A student may not receive punishment, such as detention, for any diabetes related absences.If a school has established protocols for reporting absences and providing medical documentation, the school can require you to follow those procedures.However, if attendance can earn a privilege, such as being excused from the final exam for perfect attendance, a student may not be entitled to that privilege, even if absences are diabetes-related.Students have the right to make up all work missed when they are absent for their diabetes, including tests and quizzes.A school or teacher may not reduce a student's grade for missing class time because of diabetes, even if a school-wide policy on attendance or participation exists.Students who miss class time for diabetes-related causes are entitled to accommodations under a federal law, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. What are my child's rights to receive accommodations to school attendance policies? A change in medication or schedule could be needed. If your child is missing school frequently because of very high or low blood sugar levels or difficulties with blood sugar management, it might be time to have a conversation with your diabetes care provider. But when absences do happen, you can make sure that there are no unfair consequences for missing class time. It is important that absences only happen when they are absolutely medically necessary. And in an ideal world, your student would never have to stay home from school because of diabetes or diabetes-related sickness. Children should attend school regularly, even if they have diabetes. HAPIcoach takes a different approach to most of its rivals: it’s less about numbers and self-tracking, and more about real nutritionists casting their expert eyes over what you’re eating and drinking. The pro tier costs £7.99 a month, £14.99 every three months or £29.99 a year, adding healthy recipes and access to private groups of people with similar habits and goals to you, to gee one another along. Noom Coach is a decent basic tracker, but its most useful features are contained within its premium tier, which gets you to input information like how sedentary your weekdays and weekends are, your favourite activities and motivations for fitness, then creates a custom plan for you. There’s less to offer than rivals in terms of social features to connect to your friends, however. On iOS, Noom Coach integrates with Apple’s HealthKit, which in turn can pull in data from other fitness apps and devices. Logging meals and snacks is quick and easy, but one of Noom Coach’s key differences is its traffic-lights system classifying food into green, yellow and red categories based on their calorie counts, with the app recommending that you try to make 30% of your intake green foods, 45% yellow and 25% red. Noom Coach features the same basic features as its rivals: you tell it how much weight you want to lose and the pace at which you want to lose it – turtle, rabbit or cheetah speed – and it uses that information to set your goal. It offers more tracking (hydration, sleep, body fat etc) more detailed nutritional reports more features for meal and exercise planning, and a wider range of challenges including the ability to create your own. Lose It is also free at its basic level, but its premium tier costs £29.99 a year. There are also groups around topics like cycling and cooking to meet likeminded users, and the ability to add friends using their email addresses. Lose It’s challenges are a key feature: choosing specific goals like a maximum carbs limit, or simply logging in regularly, and then comparing yourself to others in rankings tables. ![]() The ability to browse menus from popular restaurant brands, from KFC to Nando’s, is also handy. Graphs on your intake, nutrients and steps are very clear, while the process for logging your meals, snacks and exercise is quick and easy too, whether you’re searching for ingredients or scanning barcodes. Like its rivals, it starts by getting you to set a goal: using your current and target weights, height, gender and desired pace of weight loss to assign a daily “budget” for your food intake. Lose It is one of the apps that puts the emphasis firmly on losing weight, as the name suggests. It removes the ads bumps you up the queue for customer support lets you dig deeper into “macronutrients” in your diet provides recipe meal plans, and enables you to fine-tune your daily goals and nutritional plans. MyFitnessPal is free with advertising, but it has a premium tier costing £7.99 a month or £39.99 a year. Adding friends via Facebook, your phone contacts or email can provide encouragement, while the app also provides access to forums to swap tips with a bustling community of strangers. You can set goals for weight, nutrition and fitness, with simple but clear graphs showing how you’re doing. The app also connects to a wide range of wearable fitness-bands and health apps too: for example, I have data feeding in to it from my Fitbit band and RunKeeper exercise-tracking app. MyFitnessPal also doubles as an exercise tracker: it’ll calculate calories burned from activities from running and rowing to abdominal crunches and even mowing the lawn. It has a huge database of more than 5m foods, with helpful green-tick symbols marking those where their nutritional information has been verified as accurate. The app makes it easy to log your meals and snacks, either by searching for them or scanning product barcodes. MyFitnessPal is the most high-profile calorie counter, with more than 80 million users by the time it was bought for $475m by sports brand Under Armour in February 2015. ![]() If you have any query regarding the digital files or unhappy with our design, Please feel free to contact us or email us at We are always assist with you to provide the best resolution for any issue. 54+ Free Teacher SVG Cut Files For Cricut.

The gain of an electron adds more electrons to the outermost shell which increases the radius because there are now more electrons further away from the nucleus and there are more electrons to pull towards the nucleus so the pull becomes slightly weaker than of the neutral atom and causes an increase in atomic radius. Examples: H 2, Cl 2, Br 2, I 2, HCl, NH 3, CH 4, and C 2 H 6. When one pair of electrons, or two electrons, are shared between the atoms, it is known as a single covalent bond or merely a single bond. Figure 3: The ionic radius decreases for the generation of positive ions.Īn anion, on the other hand, will be bigger in size than that of the atom it was made from because of a gain of an electron. Based on the number of shared electron pairs, there are three types of covalent bonds 1-6: 1. A neutral atom X is shown here to have a bond length of 180 pm and then the cation X + is smaller with a bond length of 100 pm. This can similarly be said about the protons pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus, which as a result decreases atomic size.įigure 3 below depicts this process. If ten magnets and ten metallic objects represent a neutral atom where the magnets are protons and the metallic objects are electrons, then removing one metallic object, which is like removing an electron, will cause the magnet to pull the metallic objects closer because of a decrease in number of the metallic objects. An analogy to this can be of a magnet and a metallic object.It will also decrease because there are now less electrons in the outer shell, which will decrease the radius size. This will cause a decrease in atomic size because there are now fewer electrons for the protons to pull towards the nucleus and will result in a stronger pull of the electrons towards the nucleus. The loss of an electron means that there are now more protons than electrons in the atom, which is stated above.The loss in an electron will consequently result in a change in atomic radii in comparison to the neutral atom of interest (no charge). ![]() The cation, which is an ion with a positive charge, by definition has fewer electrons than protons.In contrast, anions have bigger ionic radii than their corresponding neutral atoms. This process can be applied to other examples of ionic radius.Ĭations have smaller ionic radii than their neutral atoms. So, if we had the compound CaSe, which had a total distance of 278 pm between the nucleus of the Ca atom and Se atom, then the atomic radius of the Ca atom will be 278 pm (total distance) - 178 pm (distance of Se), or 100 pm. If we were able to determine the atomic radius of an atom from experimentation, say Se, which had an atomic radius of 178 pm, then we could determine the atomic radius of any other atom bonded to Se by subtracting the size of the atomic radius of Se from the total distance between the two nuclei. \)decreases going down a group and right to left across the periodic table, the atomic radius will increase going down a group and right to left across the periodic table. ![]() Sometimes Aussies and Kiwis are known to pick at each other, but in the case of the Australian native Flume and Zealander Lorde, an amazing partnership occurred on this track as it is very apparent that Flume “got” the original feeling of the track.

Fireworks explode at the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, during the New Year's celebration in Dubai on Monday. In New York City, where there have been near-daily protests sparked by the Israel-Hamas war, officials and party organizers said they were prepared to ensure the safety of tens of thousands of revelers who will flood Times Square in the heart of midtown Manhattan. Organizers worldwide have readied for large-scale celebrations despite the wars in Gaza and Ukraine. to secure a prime waterfront location in the Sydney Botanic Garden. “It’s total madness,” said German tourist Janna Thomas, who had waited in line since 7:30 a.m. Ng Han Guan / APĪs the clock struck midnight in Australia, more than 1 million people - a number equivalent to 1 in 5 of the city’s residents - watched a 12-minute fireworks display focused on the Sydney Harbor Bridge from the shore and from boats in the harbor.

Revelers across Asia celebrated the countdown to midnight on New Year’s Eve with fireworks and brightly lit signs - offering a hopeful start to 2024 for some, even as the globe’s ongoing conflicts raised security concerns and led to muted or even canceled festivities. ![]() The police department first used drones to help monitor New Year's Eve celebrations in 2019, after its planned deployment in 2018 was canceled by rain. The American Civil Liberties Union has long expressed concerns that drones can be used to violate privacy rights and track people, such as police critics, whose messages authorities don't necessarily want to celebrate. "We can look for any type of anomalies in the crowd, any suspicious people, any suspicious person," he said. Officers on the ground can tune in to drone video via smartphone, Daughtry said, while the aerial robots scan the 1 million-attendee event to detect anomalies in the crowd, medical emergencies and crowd movement. New York police are deploying drones over Times Square amid New Year's Eve celebrations, hoping the evolving technology could help identify potential attackers and forecast crowd movement.Īssistant Police Commissioner Kaz Daughtry gave a tour of three of the drones being used tonight to monitor Times Square celebrants, saying the devices bring state-of-the-art technology, including real-time 5K monitoring, to the effort to keep New Year's Eve safe. Thousands if not millions of the colorful notes were then released as confetti when the ball dropped at midnight.

More than 1,000 officers were assigned to the event, and they were assisted by drones that beamed real-time video to their smartphones in 5K quality, police said. The possibility was a concern after a man allegedly attacked three officers with a machete outside a Times Square security checkpoint last year.
