Statement of Purpose Sepehr Assadi I am applying to the California Institute of Technology for admission to PhD program in computer science. My chief area of interest is theoretical computer science including approximation and randomized algorithms and algorithmic game theory. I plan to continue my research, and further deepen my knowledge in these areas during my graduate career. Being born in an academic family has made my life intertwined with the academic world. This background together with
Definition: “Time Complexity of an algorithm signifies the total time required by the program to run to completion.The Time complexity of algorithm is most commonly expressed using the big O notation”. “Time Complexity is most commonly estimated by counting the number of elementary functions performed by the algorithm.” Big O Notation: Big O notation is an upper bound, the worst-case time; Big O notation is required to run an algorithm on various inputs. Example:
The Australian National curriculum: Digital Technologies provides students with the opportunity to engage in selecting and managing data, information and processes, and digital systems. Digital Technologies when correctly implemented fosters curiosity and creative thinking to help students meet the current and future needs of the world (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority, 2012). With the combined curriculum between foundation and year two, our activities enhance their knowledge
abstract In a graph theory the shortest path problem is nding a minimum path and distance between two vertices.The ap- plication in many areas of shortest path algorithms are such as geographical rout- ing, transportation, computer vision and VLSI design involve solving optimiza- tion problems on large planar graphs. To calculate the shortest path we need to know some algorithms like Kruskal's algorithm,Prim's algorithm,Dijkstra's algorithm,BellmanFord's algorithm. These algorithms have some advantages

The purpose of this homework is to exercise your knowledge and develop skills you will need for the exams and for Projects 4 and 5. Use your class notes and the text (Chapter 12) as a guide
CHAPTER TWO – LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Concept of Site Layout Planning The site layout in every construction sites requiring a good planning. A proper planned site layout would definitely reduce the cost and time for construction. Before planning, there are three issues needed to be considered. The first one is identify the temporary facilities needed to support the overall site operation and all the temporary facilities are not a part of the permanent structure. The next issue is to find out the shape

The direct selling method enables the consumers to bypass inefficient wholesale and retail distribution systems.

different face in every work. There is never a clearly definitive picture that identifies Arthur's character. It is therefore necessary to look at a few different sources to get better insight into the character of Arthur, the once and future king. GRAPH Arthurian literature can be divided into two basic categories, pseudo-histories and romances. The main difference between the two is that pseudo-histories such as Wace and much of the Celtic work, for example, Geoffrey of Monmouth show Arthur as

But the quickness to which the market of cellular phones has expanded shows that some people have definitely embraced it as a positive. The graph on the following page shows the rapidity of America's love affair with the cell phone. Radio Telephone technology started in 1977 when Motorola, American Radio Telephone, and AT&T were licensed by the FCC to develop a high capacity radio telephone

Also if the temperature was higher the particles would move around faster because they have more energy and would also cause more effective collisions.

only 100 ml of water each time, then you must divide the atomic weight by 10 before multiplying it by one gram. You will be using a computer-interfaced Temperature Probe to monitor how much each salt decreases the freezing temperature of water, and a graph of your results will be plotted using the computer. *PURPOSE: To learn which type of salt lowers the Freezing Point of water the greatest amount. *PROBLEM: Which type of salt lowers the Freezing Point of water to the lowest point? Blank 2 *HYPOTHESIS:
The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram or, the H-R Diagram for short, is a graph which plots stars according to their temperature and absolute magnitude. This graph reveals a pattern, which in fact is quite interesting. The H-R Diagram is named for the two astronomers, Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Russell, who discovered this pattern of stars. These two astronomers independently discovered that comparing magnitudes and spectral class (color) of stars yielded a lot of information about them. One key purpose

Analysis (see graph overleaf) ============================= The graph shows the relationship between the distance of the fan from the plant, and the % change of mass in the plant. From the graph, I can see that:- 1. The plant is losing water/transpiring when placed near a fan, because all the % changes in mass are negative numbers, and this shows
of the wave is the number of wavelengths that pass each second. Frequency and period are reciprocals. T = 1/f. The speed of a wave is equal to its frequency times its wavelength. A displacement/position graph shows the displacement of the different sections of a medium. A displacement/time graph shows the displacement of one point of a medium as time elapses. The speed of the particles of a medium is a maximum when their displacement is zero. The speed of the particles of a medium is zero where the

The shape of the Productions Possibility Frontier, (PPF), illustrates the principle of increasing opportunity costs (Graph 3). As more of one product is produced, increasingly larger amounts of the other product must be given up. In Graph 3, some factors of production are suited for producing both Product A and Product B, but as the production of one of the other brands increases, resources better suited to production of the
the boys within his English class to ripe out the introduction entitled “Understanding Poetry” by Dr. J. Evans Pritchard, Ph.D. Evans explains Poetry by being able to be graded on a graph to determan if a poem is good or not. Mr Keating gets the boys to understand that you can not tell if a poem is good or not by a graph but by how much it means to you and the way it makes you feel. This is becoming a free thinker not using a set structure but actually understanding and appreciating it. He also believes
treatment for my results. Introduction: The Refractive Index is how the much a material bends the light. In this experiment I will be looking at the how much the angle of incidence gets refracted and I will multiply my results by sine. I will plot a graph from my results and, using a line of best fit, I will calculate the size of the angle of incidence in order for the refracted angle to be equal to 900 (critical angle). I will then calculate the refractive index by using Sine I and Sine R. I will
