- 591: Psychology-Dreams
- ... biological process, Neurological research indicates that large brain cells in the primitive brain stem spontaneously fire about every 90 minutes, sending random stimuli to cortical areas of the brain. As a consequence, memory, sensory, muscle-control, and cognitive areas of the brain are randomly stimulated, resulting in the higher cortical brain attempting to make some sense of it. This, according to the research, gives rise to the experience of a dream ... for the sufferers of war neurosis (Haskell, R. 1996) Lucid dreaming is a type of paradoxical mental state in which the dreamer becomes aware that he/ she is dreaming and in some cases deliberately takes control of the situation. Lucid dreaming references date back at least 80 years ago, to the days of Aristotle, and the Dutch psychiatrist Frederik van Eeden. Modern surveys report that most adults are able to recall ... s, LaBerge, a graduate student from the Stanford University, discovered that lucid dreaming occurred during the REM type stage of sleep. LaBerge asserts that with practice, anyone can learn to have Lucid dreams, and even control their own dreams. LaBerge believes that Lucid thinking is a way of tapping into the mind's creative powers, and many artists, musicians, and writers find inspiration through their dreams. For example, the British ...
- 592: Imperialism and India
- ... good, mostly though for the bad. Between 1640 and 1949, India was ruled by two periods of imperialism, both of which effected India in a very profound and permanent manner. The first period of European control was between 1740 and 1858. During this period the British East India Company controlled the Indian sub-continent under the guise of economic imperialism, when in fact the manipulation of Indian affairs was much more ... government to British subjects at the East India Company's posts. As well, the British government also gave the company the right to make was or peaceful arrangements with powers who were non-Christian. This control expanded with the founding of a port at Bombay in 1668, and the founding of Calcutta in 1690. Then in 1756, a young employee named Robert Clive, who had been named lieutenant-governor in 1755 ... 2,000 Indian soldiers(sepoys) against a group of 50,000 Indians lead by a degenerate nawab at Plassey. The victory of the English forces over the local resistance brought Bengal under the effective political control of the East India Company. Although a "puppet nawab" was left in control of the area, Clive was granted the right to extract land revenue from most of eastern India. Through out this whole ...
- 593: Computer Integrated Manufacturing
- ... smoothly operating, manufacturing system with reduced total manufacturing costs and turnaround times, and improved quality is generally termed Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM). Another definition that is more precise might be the utilization of computers to control the integration and flow of information between design, engineering, manufacturing, logistics, warehousing and distribution, customers and suppliers, sales and marketing activities, financial management and the overall control of the enterprise. At one extreme, a Computer-Integrated Manufacturing process may be fully automated, with computers (and robots) controlling the entire production process with minimal human intervention. However, CIM is typically employed at a ... two areas: Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM). Computer-Aided Design (CAD) applies the computer to the creation, modification, and evaluation of product design. Computer-Aided Manufacturing applies the computer to planning, control, and operation of a production facility. Implementing CIM It is believed that CIM will only produce successful outcomes if human resources and organizational structures accompany the technology installed. The importance of determining the organizational ...
- 594: The Concrete Dangers Of Abstra
- The Concrete Dangers of Abstract Illusion Man is in control of world, and consequently of his existence. Since the effervescence of human greatness created by the Renaissance, the superiority of man has been continually accentuated through our culture. However, there still remains the domain of ... sight is the political and physical chaos expressed by war in the second scene of Act One. In effect, Macbeth is portrayed as cannons overcharged with double cracks . Thus, at this point, Macbeth still maintains control of reality, as he dominates the battle bravely and honorably. In composing this scene, Shakespeare further accentuates the future detriments of the thane due to illusions. In effect, the lord remains successful both publicly and ... attitude in reality results from Macbeth s forceful incorporation of illusion into his everyday life. The dismissal of the guests by Lady Macbeth brings the play to a critical point, as the king has no control over himself, nor over the kingdom. Thus, the impostor comes to a point where he has sacrificed his own self to an unsuccessful ascension to power led by his perceptions. Even time or absolute ...
- 595: Neural Networks
- ... systems that learn or adapt during use (Fr93, Za93). Examples of specific areas where these types of problems appear include speech synthesis and recognition, image processing and analysis, sonar and seismic signal classification, and adaptive control. In addition, neural networks can perform some knowledge processing tasks and can be used to implement associative memory (Kh90). Some optimization tasks can be addressed with neural networks. The range of potential applications is impressive ... could hear the network learn to speak. This network, trained by Sejnowski and Rosenberg, learned to pronounce English text with a high level of accuracy (Za93). Neural network studies have also been done for adaptive control applications. A classic implementation of a neural network control system was the broom-balancing experiment, originally done by Widrow and Smith in 1963. The network learned to move a cart back and forth in such a way that a broom balanced upside-down ...

Next, I will compare the methods of government and social control used in the story and the ones used in Italy, Russia, and Germany. First symbol is Big Brother, an organization running a totalitarianism control of the people. It symbolizes the Russian, Italian, and Germanys governments. At the time the book was released, Russia was ruled by Joseph Stalin. Stalin ruled Russia as a dictator from 1922-1953. Italy, at ... reputation of the leaders, and it is also used to warn the citizens that they should not do anything in opposition to the government. Russia, Italy and Germany also had the same kind of social control like 1984. Stalin had icons, statues, busts, and images of him all over Russia, public buildings, schoolrooms, and homes. Mussolini and Hitler also did the same thing. In Germany, every home even had a ...
- 598: China 2
- ... The Chinese Communist party emerged in the 1920s in the midst of a mounting economic crisis caused by foreign intervention and increased landlord influence in the countryside. For more than two decades, it expanded its control over large rural areas by introducing an agrarian program based on the control of rent and usury, and by giving power to peasant associations. On October 1, 1949, the Communist party successfully established a unified national government and economy on the mainland for the first time since the ... Chinese family relies on the effective performance and interaction between religion and family. These concepts strongly clash with western individualism collection of wealth for personal gain. A clear example of this is the overseas Chinese control family-run business empires that already dominate much of Asia. They invest billions in China, helping their ancestral homeland become the world's fastest-growing economy. Together, China and its approximately 56 million offshore ...

A more recent type of birth control is the female condom, which is sold in the United States under the name Reality. It is a polyurethane tube that looks a bit like a big male condom. One end goes inside the vagina ... partners refuse to wear a condom or have trouble sustaining an erection when they use a condom. It is also good for the females who are sensitive to latex. This is the only other birth control method besides the male condom that offers STD and HIV protection. The failure rate is about twenty-six percent, but some test show that it is more reliable if used consistently and correctly. The pill is also another commonly used form of birth control. It is a tiny little pill that should be taken at the same time everyday. If used in the proper manor, they are almost one-hundred percent effective, but they don't offer any ...
- 600: Violence In Schools
- ... is no evidence that a metal detector will solve the problem of violence in schools, even though it offers a highly- visible symbol to the community(Apfel 22). Even if the schools with all the gun violence in their schools do put in metal detectors at the front entrances of schools, their are many ways kids can sneak in weapons to school. In 1990 congress made it a felony to bring a gun within one- thousand feet of any school under the "Gun-Free School Zones" provision of the 1990 crime prevention package. This law wont help very much because of the fact that students can sneak in weapons through bathroom windows, or an unguarded entrance during ...
