Cerebral Hemispheres and Lobes of the Brain
The brain is divided into two hemispheres and four lobes, each of which specializes in a different function.
Learning Objective
Outline the structure and function of the lobes and hemispheres of the brain
Key Points
- The left hemisphere is dominant with regard to language and logical processing, while the right hemisphere handles spatial perception.
- The brain is separated into the frontal, temporal, occipital, and parietal lobes.
- The frontal lobe is associated with executive functions and motor performance.
- The temporal lobe is associated with the retention of short- and and long-term memories. It processes sensory input, including auditory information, language comprehension, and naming.
- The occipital lobe is the visual-processing center of the brain.
- The parietal lobe is associated with sensory skills.
corpus callosum
A wide, flat bundle of neural fibers beneath the cortex that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres and facilitates interhemispheric communication.
Localization of a function, such as speech, to the right or left side of the brain.
Of or pertaining to the visual perception of spatial relationships.

Brain Lateralization
The brain is divided into two halves, called hemispheres. There is evidence that each brain hemisphere has its own distinct functions, a phenomenon referred to as lateralization. The left hemisphere appears to dominate the functions of speech, language processing and comprehension, and logical reasoning, while the right is more dominant in spatial tasks like vision-independent object recognition (such as identifying an object by touch or another nonvisual sense). However, it is easy to exaggerate the differences between the functions of the left and right hemispheres; both hemispheres are involved with most processes. Additionally, neuroplasticity (the ability of a brain to adapt to experience) enables the brain to compensate for damage to one hemisphere by taking on extra functions in the other half, especially in young brains.
Corpus Callosum
The two hemispheres communicate with one another through the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum is a wide, flat bundle of neural fibers beneath the cortex that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres and facilitates interhemispheric communication. The corpus callosum is sometimes implicated in the cause of seizures; patients with epilepsy sometimes undergo a corpus callostomy, or the removal of the corpus callosum.
The Lobes of the Brain
The brain is separated into four lobes: the frontal, temporal, occipital, and parietal lobes.
Lobes of the brain
The brain is divided into four lobes, each of which is associated with different types of mental processes. Clockwise from left: The frontal lobe is in blue at the front, the parietal lobe in yellow at the top, the occipital lobe in red at the back, and the temporal lobe in green on the bottom.
The Frontal Lobe
The frontal lobe is associated with executive functions and motor performance. Executive functions are some of the highest-order cognitive processes that humans have. Examples include:
- planing and engaging in goal-directed behavior;
- recognizing future consequences of current actions;
- choosing between good and bad actions;
- overriding and suppressing socially unacceptable responses;
- determining similarities and differences between objects or situations.
The frontal lobe is considered to be the moral center of the brain because it is responsible for advanced decision-making processes. It also plays an important role in retaining emotional memories derived from the limbic system, and modifying those emotions to fit socially accepted norms.
The Temporal Lobe
The temporal lobe is associated with the retention of short- and long-term memories. It processes sensory input including auditory information, language comprehension, and naming. It also creates emotional responses and controls biological drives such as aggression and sexuality.
The temporal lobe contains the hippocampus, which is the memory center of the brain. The hippocampus plays a key role in the formation of emotion-laden, long-term memories based on emotional input from the amygdala. The left temporal lobe holds the primary auditory cortex, which is important for processing the semantics of speech.
One specific portion of the temporal lobe, Wernicke's area, plays a key role in speech comprehension. Another portion, Broca's area, underlies the ability to produce (rather than understand) speech. Patients with damage to Wernicke's area can speak clearly but the words make no sense, while patients with damage to Broca's area will fail to form words properly and speech will be halting and slurred. These disorders are known as Wernicke's and Broca's aphasia respectively; an aphasia is an inability to speak.
Broca's and Wernicke's areas
The locations of Broca's and Wernicke's areas in the brain. The Broca's area is at the back of the frontal lobe, and the Wernicke's area is roughly where the temporal lobe and parietal lobe meet.
The Occipital Lobe
The occipital lobe contains most of the visual cortex and is the visual processing center of the brain. Cells on the posterior side of the occipital lobe are arranged as a spatial map of the retinal field. The visual cortex receives raw sensory information through sensors in the retina of the eyes, which is then conveyed through the optic tracts to the visual cortex. Other areas of the occipital lobe are specialized for different visual tasks, such as visuospatial processing, color discrimination, and motion perception. Damage to the primary visual cortex (located on the surface of the posterior occipital lobe) can cause blindness, due to the holes in the visual map on the surface of the cortex caused by the lesions.
The Parietal Lobe
The parietal lobe is associated with sensory skills. It integrates different types of sensory information and is particularly useful in spatial processing and navigation. The parietal lobe plays an important role in integrating sensory information from various parts of the body, understanding numbers and their relations, and manipulating objects. Its also processes information related to the sense of touch.
The parietal lobe is comprised of the somatosensory cortex and part of the visual system. The somatosensory cortex consists of a "map" of the body that processes sensory information from specific areas of the body. Several portions of the parietal lobe are important to language and visuospatial processing; the left parietal lobe is involved in symbolic functions in language and mathematics, while the right parietal lobe is specialized to process images and interpretation of maps (i.e., spatial relationships).

Question Author
Thank you, they could possibly be a pigeons or dove eggs
Pigeons and doves only lay one or two eggs at the time, so I doubt if it is that. It may be a pheasant or your neighbour's hen has found a new laying place.
Question Author
Mmmm we definately don't have any pheasants or hens close by and its in such a tight area the bird would have to be smallish but obviously not too small as the eggs are quite large.
I've never heard of pigeons nesting on the ground, their eggs are less than an inch long. From their size they must be bigger than a partridge which doesn't leave much choice.
Partridge eggs? They nest on the ground.
I was going to suggest pheasant too.
Maybe a is a fox's cache. If there is not a lot of places around for them to dig, it might have decided to hide it under your hedge for a rainy day.
Sounds like partridge eggs to me

Thanks in advance.!
- Daniel Last added an answer:4Is there any way I can improve AHL stock preparation for quorum quenching OPA based enzyme assay?
I am working on quorum quenching enzyme assay. My AHL stock is prepared in DMSO. In CV026 bioassay, my enzyme shows quorum quenching activity. For kinetic study, we are performing OPA based assay for detection of HSL. The read out of the OPA assay is very less. As the substrate concentration increases,the DMSO % goes upto 6-7 % in the final reaction mixture of the enzyme and the AHL (in DMSO). Is there any other way to prepare a stock solution with less DMSO without solubility issue ? Any advice on improving the OPA assay is requested.
Yes, the glacial acetic acid was added to prevent lactone bond autohydrolysis during the storage time as the autohydrolysis rate is strongly pH-dependent. Especially with short-chain AHLs one has to be very careful. I don't have CV026 anymore, sorry.Following

- Eric Omwenga added an answer:5What are the types of Quorum sensing signaling molecules?
May I know the different types of signaling molecules in bacteria and fungi. Do different bacteria have different signaling molecules. Which are intracellular and intercellular molecules
All quorum-sensing systems utilize small, secreted signaling molecules
known as autoinducers (AIs) that are of three categories: acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs), used by Gram-negative bacteria (also sometimes referred
to as autoinducer-1 [AI-1]); peptide signals, used by Gram-positive
bacteria; and autoinducer-2 (AI-2), used by both Gram-negative
and Gram-positive bacteria. There are also other quorum sensing
signals that go beyond these classes, including
Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS), diffusible signal factor
(DSF), and autoinducer-3 (AI-3), and new molecules will undoubtedly
be discovered as the study of quorum sensing expands
to species of bacteria yet to be investigated.Following

I tried TLC for AHLs assay using Agrobacterium bioreporter, but it didn't work, although I got positive results with T-streak method. Does anybody know how to detect AHLs, by TLC and LC-MS?
Hello Pramal Biswa,
LCMS you can use a C18 column for seperation in an Acetonitrile(Acn) water gradient (The column is initially eluted with 10 % acetonitrile (ACN) at 1ml/min for 10 mins followed by a linear gradient to reach 100% ACN in 65 minutes and an additional 15 min at 100% ACN.)
In the generated MS data, check for m/z peak corresponding to 101/102(lactone fragment) or 143/144 (Mclafferty fragment) and the corresponding molecular ion peak.
May I know the reference for this protocolFollowing

I would suggest you to incubate the culture for more than 48 hrs.Use any positive control i.e any biofilm forming strain alongwith your organism.Then you perform the biofilm assay then check the O.D.Biofilm formation also depends upon media.Also you can experiment by changing the media.Time required for biofilm formation varies in organisms.Following
- Uma Kranthi added an answer:6Does 0.1% acidified ethyl acetate kill all bacteria?
I was doing N-Acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) extraction from bacteria using 0.1% acidfied ethyl acetate. Wondering does certain bacteria tolerance to this so that I might leave bacteria broth and acidfied ethyl acetate mixtures for extended time so that better yield of AHLs?
I agree with Padmavathi. Extracting twice with ethylacetate is enough to get a detectable amount of AHL.
I find a immisicible layer of bubbles in between broth supernatant and ethylacetate when I shake to extract AHL. May I know what that is?
And I use ethylacetate instead of acidified ethylacetate. As there was not much difference using ethylacetate and acidified ethylacetate.Following

- Alireza Japoni-Nejad added an answer:5Are efflux pumps of bacteria the means by which all secretions from the bacterium take place?The first response of bacteria to a noxious agent such as an antibiotic is the induced over expression of efflux pumps. Once the threat of the noxious agent passes, the level of efflux pump expression returns to its normal baseline.
Material secreted by bacteria such as those involved in quorum sensing (QS) and biofilm take place via the efflux pump system of the bacterium (Varga ZG, Armada A, Cerca P, Amaral L, Mior Ahmad Subki MA, Savka MA, Szegedi E, Kawase M, Motohashi N, Molnár J. Inhibition of quorum sensing and efflux pump system by trifluoromethyl ketone proton pump inhibitors. In Vivo. 2012). Because diffusion of other materials does not take place readily across the plasma membrane or outer membrane of bacteria, the means by which these materials (toxins, inducers, inhibitors, etc) are secreted may represent targets that may be exploited for the therapy of infections whose success lies in the materials secreted.
I would like for the members of RG to present their views on this subject for the purpose of expanding the possibility of new targets to be exploited, especially for the therapy of Gram-negative infections.
Dear Dr Leonard Amaral
ATP binding cassette (ABC pumps) transporters is Type one secretion systems (T1SS) . ABC are heterotrimeric complexes consisting of an IM ABC exporter, a membrane fusion protein (MFP) and a pore-forming, outermembrane protein (OMP). T1SS allow the secretion of a wide range of substrates (proteinaceous and nonproteinaceous) from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space in a single step, without a stable periplasmic intermediate.Following

- Mohammad Mahfuz Ali Khan Shawan added an answer:1Biofilms in water systems - reasons and solutions?What are the major reasons for using biofilms in water systems and what are possible solutions?Hi, Najmul,
Micro-organisms thrive in the presence of water and nutrients. The movement of water creates an unstable environment for survival. Consequently, micro-organisms have evolved in a manner that allows them to adhere to a substrate with great tenacity. When they find a suitable surface they attach themselves and then initiate multiplication. Growth can be rapid, with new cells attaching to each other as well as extending laterally across the surface.
There are a variety of nutrient sources within water systems. These include scale, sediment, corrosion products and other trapped organic and inorganic matter. The movement of the water ensures that colonies receive a constant supply of nutrients. When this is combined with specific temperature conditions, which are often found inside heating systems such as calorifiers and heat exchangers, the perfect conditions exist for rapid microbial growth. The population will predominantly consist of aerobic (oxygen seeking) and anaerobic (living without oxygen) bacteria.
Using Chlorine Dioxide as a part of a water hygiene management programme will eliminate biofilm and maintain a safe, efficient and cost effective water system.

- Joseph ( Jozsef in Hungarian) -- Molnar added an answer:14If bacteria use 'Quorum Sensing' to engage in intra-and-inter-species communication, how can we leverage on this phenomenon for antibiotics?Different chemicals are produced by bacteria for inter and intra species communication, how do we use these chemicals to our advantage in developing antibiotics?The QS can be a potential target of inhibitor phytochemicals or synthetic compounds. QS inhibitors are able to modify the effect of chemotherapy through blocking acyl-homoserin lactone synthase, other mediators, or second messenger e.g. cyclic-di-GMP resulting in changes in active efflux or diffusion, changes in cell to cell signal transport, secretion of biofilm, swarming, efflux pump systems, PMF, cell adhesion, cohesion etc.Following
- Mohamed ahmed Sebak added an answer:12Do you know any protocols to detect metabolic activity in bacterial biofilm?I grow my bacteria in a define culture medium (C-limited) in 96-well plates. I tried TTC assay, but it doesn't seem to work well. I have to add extra glucose to intensify the reaction and the red precipitate is hard to dissolve for measurement.I think XTT may be useful
Try it

There is the ability to do Facebook pages as part of our social media business plan which we played around with through a launch of a website selling football memorabilia, instagram followers and likes buy which gives you the ability to actually put a page up, a website fundamentally or a profile page for a business on Facebook. People can comment on that. It's like a blog/Facebook page so people can feel safe inside Facebook and interact with your business and like your business and so on. So it's worth considering. I think where it works well is in the business to consumer type spaces. In the business to business work such as, for example, Telco work, using social media for business doesn't really fit because Susie the receptionist is not going to go and like a company that she bought a telephone system for her office for. So it's not really great for that but a lot of the business Beta C material, like if you're in wedding celebrant work, people would like that sort of thing and there could be fit there for sure.
Just recently my assistant handles all of the work that we do over at Flippa which is a website marketplace where you can buy and sell websites. That's a space that we're probably looking to shift into, I suppose trying to become the Warren Buffett of the online world and buy websites and build them up and then instagram likes and followers buy sell them. We purchased this domain, we got it for $2100. It was buying businesses online, that's definitely a business model in itself. On a Facebook page, they've got a page set up and there is a little like button. You can set up one like that for your page as part of social media business plan and you can give offers and that type of thing. It all comes down to having a really clear picture of who your avatar, your ideal client is, and then making sure, are they in this space, is it even worth creating and then to determine whether or not it's something that you'll introduce.
Social media isn't the latest marketing fad. It's easy to get trapped in the craze and hype surrounding the benefits of social networks for business, but realize that the online marketing landscape has drastically changed from simple email blasts, newsletters, and direct marketing. Social media is buy auto likes instagram the most effective way to reach your audience now, and the biggest of the social networks Facebook and Google Plus are revamping their platforms to cater to businesses like never before. Get in line and establish your small business presence very early to build up followers, fans, and fellow business owners in your social circle. Refuse to establish your new business presence in social media and you might eventually head the way of the dinosaurs.

The Chiefs game at Oakland on Sunday may be one of the least-inspiring matchups in the 53-year history of what was once one of pro football's most storied rivalries. Though Kansas City, 2-11, vs. Oakland, 3-11, won't evoke memories of Len Dawson vs. Ben Davidson or Derrick Thomas vs. Jeff George, Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel promises his team is taking the rivalry seriously. "When you're on the playground when you're a kid, and you've got a rivalry, or you're in high school and (you have) a rivalry, it doesn't make any difference what the records are," Crennel said. "You want to go and you want to win that game. Both sides feel the same way about it...

Quote:As Far as My posts goes.. I wasnt suggesting that WMA was suspect either
My experience (and my experience ONLY) I have found that the WMA people or people who follow that vein
..that I have come across who have aversions to the SCA are either 1) Do not know much about the SCA and the high level of competition that exist or 2) Tried the SCA at some local back water level
thought it was a beat down fest and didnt like what they experienced I can under stand the beat down viewpoint (having witnessed it more than a few times)
Quote:My Hapkido training has kept me from becoming a knight (all my friends in the SCA are Knights or Dukes) When Im up and fighting I fight at that level. So I know how good and demanding these guys are. There is a cost on the body when training in this sport (as is other very aggressive sports)
Quote:So when I come across a condescending WMA or escrima, or Kendoka on the internet
..Im always aggressively defensive. Sometimes to the point of issuing a put up or shut up challenged Is this wrong? Yea
Im not perfect

Skip to comments.INNOVATIVE (groundbreaking, breakthrough?) NEW FIREARM!
Posted on 07/29/2008 7:23:14 PM PDT by mamelukesabre
A Revolution In Cartridge Feeding
The Boberg XR9 Introducing the world's most powerful 9mm pocket-sized pistol.
Basically, the XR9 is a pocket pistol with a full length barrel, having the magazine located directly under the chamber. The patent-pending feed mechanism grabs a cartridge from the magazine and delivers it straight into the chamber. This allows the chamber clearance to be significantly less, causing less energy and noise to blast out the back. With this combination, kinetic energy is maximized, and in many cases will exceed the energy produced in full-sized pistols.
Just an FYI to all of you out there that prefer other calibers to 9mm - be patient! The first offering will be in 9mm because it remains highly popular, is relatively inexpensive to practice with, provides a decent round count in the magazine, and delivers a lot of power in many styles of +P. The key point here is that the Boberg XR9 will always provide superior power to any same-sized gun, and many larger guns in any caliber it is offered. Other calibers will be offered pending the success of the 9mm version.

Cool gun! I have lots of guns, but their site explicitly compares this to the Kel-Tec P38T, which I carry on a regular basis. I like the idea of a gun this small in 9mm (I also carry a Kahr 9mm) but I wonder how weight, recoil and reliability are. I have to say I like my little Kel-Tec, and my wife loves it. Great pocket (literally) pistol. And the KT was cheap. I wonder how much this little gem goes for?
I'd buy the shorty in a heartbeat.
Whaddya think?
It looks neat! I shot a 9mm Detonics that was very small and it kicked worse than a 45 auto. I wonder how this would be?
I have a kahr PM9.
I don't think the boberg guns are past the prototype phase yet. But if they are reliable and not too heavy or too expensive, I'd ditch my kahr for the micro shorty without thinking twice.
You gotta look at the animated video of the action cycling if you haven't already. I think it's just absolutely amazing.
nice looking gun. I have a Beretta 9000 s for my Concealed Carry "between the seat cushion" car gun. This one looks nice but the mechanism looks quite complicated. I do not want complicated. Cleaning could get to be a problem.
The long drawback of the cartridge looks like there are a lot of parts that could go from "SNAFU" to "TARFU" and then to "FUBAR" at a critical moment.
perfect for summer carry!
Although my favorite pistol is the M1911, I would never denigrate the 9mm. It is a powerful high intensity cartridge and with the right ammo will do about anything one wants for a defense cartridge.
Nice pistol, bad website.
Interesting in that this action presents a feasible solution for a clip magazine, Remington, .44 mag carbine.
Because the barrel is longer.
The chamber is DIRECTLY above the top round in the magazine. Any firearm with same length of slide as the boberg will have a barrel shorter by at least the overall length of the cartridge. So the boberg has a power advantage over all other equal length pistols due to the freaky new fangled feeding mechanism that allows for a longer barrel in a shorter slide.
watch the vid
SHades of the PKM.
No thanks
John got it 'right' with the 1911....
Hmmm, I'm not so sure. At first I thought you were really on to something. But after watching the animated vid really closely, it's not exactly a fixed barrel. THe barrel moves a tiny tiny bit. I think the barrel might rotate also.
On the other hand, the old browning auto-12 shotgun had a barrel that moved, so why not a rifle?
So which one of these would I purchase? Uh...is "both" a good answer? ;-)
Be glad to try a sample :)
and from the prints, i'm not thrilled about it not having an extractor either.
"Both" is always a good answer.
Look at post 13. It appears to me there is an extractor machined into the slide...not a separate piece with a spring, but just a little hook in the slide.
Maybe. Hard to tell.
The empty appears to be bumped out of the way by the new round.
Or did you mean to say "...not thrilled about it not having an ejector..."?
Kinda like a bullpup in a pistol............ BTW, no apparent feed ramp.
it truly is an innovative design and i hope it works out for them, but i'll have to wait till several thousand production guns are on the market and reviewed before i bet my life on one.
There is the key question. I also carry a P3AT (Or a S&W 637, or XD-45 depending). If this thing cost $600+ I'll stay with the Kel-Tec. It also weights twice as much as the P3AT, heck it weighs more that my 12+1 9mm P-11.
It would be more accurately compared to the P-9, a single stack 9mm from Kel-Tec.
The biggest problem I perceive is the claw thingie that grabs the cartridge from the magazine and elevates it to feed into the chamber. It grabs the groove and pulls the cartridge from the back of the magazine. The leaf spring at the junction of the tang and the backstrap appears to help elevate the cartridge.
It looks like a rotating barrel lock up, similar to the Beretta 8000 series locked breech handguns. That works, so there's no question about the theory, but did they execute it properly?
The next question is the integrity of the claw thingie. This is not a good way to use steel. The claw has to be a flat piece of steel with a hook at the end. The steel would tend to fail where the hook meets the flat area.
Someone will say that 9mm extractor claws work just fine after 20,000 rounds have been fired, but that comparison is not correct. The slide moves backward with the velocity of the cartridge. The extractor has to extract an empty case, which already has inertia due to recoil. The case is moving backwards under its own force. This part has to move a loaded cartridge which does not have energy due to recoil.
A loaded cartridge has about five times the mass of an empty one. Multiplying forces by factors of five makes a big difference. Then there's the motion, which I am not going to calculate because it's late at night.
I'm interested to see how this turns out. It's certainly not the usual action design, and appears to be worth investigating. It is also noteworthy that if it works, the design could be made to ensure reliable feeding of smaller cartridges into larger chambers a la .38 Special into .357 Magnum. What the heck. They made semi autos for almost eighty years before Sig Sauer perfected them. :)
The Judge comes to mind ..... .45cal and .410 in a pistol ...
Yep. I saw the claw thing as a potential weak link too.
But there's no reason why that claw thing can't grab a shell from both sides with two really oversized hooks...is there?
But what is that thing way on the back of the slide? Is that an external hammer?
I just found this little footnote at the bottom of the "dynamic modelling" page.
*Designing it was not that hard - optimizing a mechanism that accelerates backward at 2000 g's was the hard part.
An external hammer makes sense. There's not much room for a sear to release a striker like in a Glock. The feeding mechanism is in the way. You could build a sear that reached over the feed area and make it in a U shape, like the 1911 trigger bar. This would make it rigid on both sides, but it would be an expensive part. The hammer is a proven mechanism, and this thing has some radical ideas. If I thought of it, I would want to use established methods wherever I could so that any problems would be easy to isolate.
If you want a proven pocket 9mm that has been sold for several years to the most discerning buyers, check this out:
Of course, it's not cheap. But after you empty our wallet, there will be plenty of room in your pocket for a pistol.
But it all depends on what your life is worth.
A somewhat different variation I've pondered would be a long-recoil operated pistol, in which the barrel and slide can travel rearward for about the length of a cartridge; after that, the barrel would slide forward, then a cartridge would pop up, and then the slide would push the cartridge into the barrel. When ready to fire, the barrel would be completely forward of the grip, but in 'carry mode' the barrel could be locked rearward.
Methinks their claims of "higher power and increased kinetic energy" will prove to be greatly exaggerated. Internal ballistics of like cartridges in like chambers tends to be, well, alike. The method of feeding will not have an appreciable effect upon the firing sequence, pressure, etc. The cartridge obdurates and seals to the chamber walls well before peak pressure is reached, so the blurb about escaped gas or pressure is poppycock.
I'm not saying that a shorter action is not a good thing, but their performance claims are bizarre.
Minor bbl length differences will not achieve the performance increases that they claim.
Are those roller bearings in the slide?
Never mind...spring
Mine's tucked away for some lucky collector one day...
Bump for later.
Watch the action video. The feed ramp is the black leaf spring looking thing behind the top cartridge as shown in post 13. The cartridge gets pulled back onto it and then it cams up, lifting the cartridge up to barrel height.
Nifty! I've been imagining such a design for years, but not being a mechanical engineer didn't run with it. Glad to see someone actually built one. Now I have to get one...
I like to do the math
230 gr
900 fps
490+ ft lbs of energy
dumped into 'about' a half inch.
I like those numbers....
No, there's a binary point. A half an inch would be 0.1" in binary; a quarter inch would be 0.01". A value of 0.357" (decimal) would be 0.010110110110 in binary. The big five-o in decimal represents the difference between having a zero or a one in the first digit to the right of the binary point.
Wouldn't .5 decimal be .101 binary? Sheesh...that makes my head hurt. :-) Where's the LSB in a binary number with a "point"? I never thought about it to be honest. :-)
This is a nice re-application of part of the feed design of the Browning 1919 and M2 machine guns. Instead of a belt that is being stripped, the rounds are stripped back from a magazine.
It's a real cool idea and I'd love to see one in the flesh so to speak.
In decimal, the first place to the right of the decimal point is 1/10^1, the second is 1/10^2, the third 1/10^3, etc. In binary, the places are 1/2^1, 1/2^2, 1/2^3, etc. So 357/1000 is roughly 1/4+1/16+1/32+1/128+1/256+1/1024+1/2048 (that's actually 731/2048, or 0.35693359375).

I'm hoping some people here can help me to understand what's going on with me.
For several years I've suffered from extreme panic attacks and depression. The problem is that I get extremely dizzy and disoriented during these times. Even when I'm not actively anxious I'll have weeks on end of extreme dizziness and unsteadiness. I've read about depersonalization and derealization in regard to panic attacks, and I suffer from this also. I'm finding it extremely hard to function because of this constant feeling of being "out of it". It's like my feet aren't where I expect them to be. Sometimes the floor feels 3 feet higher than it is, and objects seem tilted or out of sorts.
Any help you people can offer is most appreciated. This disorder has become very disabling and I'm just trying to live a normal life.

Ambitious Wisconsin companies see a world of opportunity for their products. However, navigating the global marketplace requires specialized knowledge and a sound strategy based upon proven best practices.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) stands ready to help you gain the insights you need to tap new international markets. Our Global Business Development Program helps companies lay the foundation for a new export strategy or build upon existing export programs.
Wisconsin companies can be reimbursed for specific expenses associated with executing their new and/or expanded international market access strategies. A company's application should include an export strategy for target markets, related activities, and project budget. Companies that have completed the ExporTech™ Program may qualify for up to $25,000 to support export strategy implementation. Companies that have not participated in this program may qualify for support at a project level up to $10,000. The grant cycle corresponds to WEDC's fiscal year of July 1-June 30.
This program is designed to help industry associations, alliances, agencies, nonprofits, regional economic development organizations or other state/local departments located in Wisconsin to work with Wisconsin companies to increase exports. This grant provides pass-through reimbursed funds. Organizations may apply for up to $150,000 to provide assistance of no more than $15,000 per Wisconsin company per fiscal year July 1-June 30.
Funded in part through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration
Wisconsin companies that have completed the ExporTech Program may apply for additional funding through a federal grant State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) Grant to WEDC. Requests may be for up to $15,000 to execute their new and/or expanded international market access strategies. The grant budget must be broken down into incremental stages showing a commitment to a strategic approach versus a singular project mentality. Companies must qualify as small businesses as defined by the SBA (criteria vary by industry) in order to apply for this funding.
Whether a not a company has completed or enrolled in ExporTech, qualifying small businesses can apply for funding support to participate in a trade venture led by WEDC or a trade mission led by the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.

Welcome from Dr. John Nash!
Dr. Nash is the Director of Graduate Studies for Educational Leadership Studies. He fields questions about our doctoral programs. Feel free to send him an email if you have any questions about the program or about planning a course of study.
Or click here to let us send the latest information on this program directly to your inbox.
Program Overview
The Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) is a scholarly doctorate and designed for those wishing to work in academia and/or research including university faculty, post doctoral scholars, social research scientists, or other educational professions that are traditionally outside of the K-12 classroom or district office. The program requires completion of a five-chapter research dissertation that is expected to be based on theory, generate new knowledge and prepare you for a career in one of the more research intensive fields. The program requires 42 credit hours of coursework (15 hours in leadership; 15 hours in research; 12 hours in a specialty area) and also requires at least 4 credits of dissertation credit (most usually a few more than 4). We expect the program to take a minimum of 4 years, though more typical is 5 to 6 years. We admit cohorts of students in the Fall and the application deadline is generally around February 15th of each year.
NOTE: This program does not lead to rank change for Kentucky educators.
Ph.D. vs. Ed.D. Program Delivery
Our Ph.D., described on this page, is limited to students who can complete the program in a hybrid format, meaning they need to come to Lexington from time to time (all dependent on which classes they enroll in). This limitation is in place because our department (Educational Leadership Studies) cannot guarantee that a Ph.D. student's electives and advanced methodology coursework will be available online (such courses are, more often than not, offered outside our department and thus outside our control).
Our Executive Ed.D. program, described here, will be offered online, allowing Executive EdD students to attend from anywhere.
Admission Requirements
The Ph.D. in Education Sciences with a specialization in Educational Leadership Studies involves a selective admissions process based on a holistic review of all application materials. The following requirements are offered as guidance to perspective applicants.
