1. Introduction
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that is not synthesized by the body and has to be obtained through diet and by the interaction of the UVB rays with the skin (Shuler et al. 2012, p. 496). A study on the levels of vitamin D in an average British adult showed that more than 50% of the adults had vitamin D deficiency and 16% of them exhibit severe insufficiency during winters (Hyppönen and Power 2007, p. 862). This low level of vitamin D synthesis in winter is attributed to the blockage of UVB rays reaching the Continue reading...

Abstract

This article studies children with unilateral hearing loss i.e. deafness in one ear while having low or complete normal other ear. The studies are made to understand the relationship of students with unilateral hearing loss and how it effects their academic performance and what types of steps should be taken in order to normalize the classrooms for both types of students. Unilateral hearing loss in the past was considered to have little consequence on their academic performance, but recent research has shown it affects the proper development of language and speech skills. This is shown to Continue reading...

Introduction

A lot of literature has been written on the characteristics of an ambidextrous leader, because this is an emerging branch of research conducted on the concept of organizational ambidexterity. This section of the paper is being written with the purpose to define how effective leadership can influence ambidexterity and the way group ambidexterity can be headed.
The emergence of the respective branch can be estimated from the review that there were very less research papers on this topic in 2004; while more than 80 research papers were found by 2009 (Raisch & Birkinshaw 375-409). In recent years, a lot of Continue reading...

Is short term memory retention affected with interruptions?

Introduction
Our memory consists of the ability to encode information perceived through our senses, which is later stored in our brain and can be recalled whenever we may need it (Piccard, Berthoz, Baulac, Denos, Dupont, Samson and Guariglia, 2010). Information can be the smell of a fruit, the name of a person we just met or how soft that sweater was that you saw in a store. Memory is what we know, and if we forget something as simple as what we were doing one minute ago, then how can we go on about our day? Is it likely Continue reading...

LITERATURE REVIEW

Concerns over the viability of the existing framework for determining technological spillovers vis-à-vis MNCs have grown, mainly because the predominant framework characterized by theories of production function did not provide consistent findings on the link between spillover occurrence and FDIs.

Gachino emphasized that such inconsistencies arise from varying methodologies as well as specificities in firms, industries and nations.

The study by Gachino is in tune with the current context describing the lack of consistency in findings on the spillover occurrence-FDI connection using the predominant framework on theories of production function.
The spillover literature takes into account variables related to variations in time, types of industries, and those related to space and location, and endogenous technological changes. Continue reading...

Cycle ergometer is a stationary bicycle attached with an ergometer which measures the work done by the person who is exercising (Wikipedia, 2015). In order to determine the cardiopulmonary health it is important to evaluate the exercise tolerance by an individual. In this paper we will discuss about the factors affecting the cycling economy and efficiency. We will look into the literature on this topic and closely analyze the facts that will be coming out of those researches. We will also discuss the implications of altered economy and efficiency in depth.

1.0 Introduction
Running computers with a single CPU seems not sufficient to satisfy the need for higher performance from computers. Running several CPUs concurrently to solve application tasks will provide an improvement in performance over a single CPU operation. This write up examines the various arrangement and architecture of processors to achieve better performance using special architectures on one part and multiple processors on the other.
The different architectures of processor are based on the taxonomy released in an article by Flynn in 1966. Flynn's taxonomy of computer machines classified computer systems into four categories namely Single Instruction Single Continue reading...
