Abstract
It has been well established that blind people are capable of identifying haptic pictures. However, the mechanism by which this operates is less clear. This essay reviews research that has been conducted into the way in which blind people identify haptic pictures. It reviews research which shows that blind people are better at identifying haptic pictures using manual exploration, and that the congenitally blind are better than the late blind. It also reviews research which compares bimanual exploration with unimanual exploration.

Abstract
This paper discusses the characters of Margaret Atwood's novel, "The Robber Bride." It analyzes the four principle characters individually and suggests that they are ones of psychological validity because they are tangible and allow the reader to deeply explore and dive headfirst into their lives of hardship, suffering, and remorse. The paper also briefly looks at the plot through the characters.

From the Paper
"Zenia herself remains a high-concept construct throughout the novel: as various reviewers have noted, she lacks all substance and credibility, particularly beside the solidity spun around each of the protagonists. But the hollow vessel Zenia remains is exactly the point. Atwood has alluded to the Jungian overtones of the novel, and in particular has described the mythic villainess upon which she has based Zenia as a "shadow" figure for female readers as well as for her fictional comrades. As such, Zenia serves as a canvas onto which the darkest fantasies of those who encounter her can be projected, with no foundation character in place to counteract such fantasies (Mycak 12-16)."

Abstract
This paper defines and further explains what it refers to as the curse of dimensionality. This concept was identified and defined by Bellman and refers to "the exponential growth of hypevolume as a function of dimensionality." The paper also offers another explanation that is considered more extensive. i

From the Paper
"The curse of dimensionality was identified and defined by Bellman (1961), referring to "the exponential growth of hypevolume as a function of dimensionality" (Sinkonnen 2007, para. 1). Another explanation that is more extensive is offered by a website at UCLA (2001), stating that in "statistics it relates to the fact that the convergence of any estimator to the true value of a smooth function defined on a space of high dimension is very slow" (para. 2). Essentially, the concept holds that high dimensional data is hard to work with because adding more features can increase the noise and so the rate..."

Abstract
Educational Leadership historically depended upon Educational Psychology for assessing the individual's personality traits in determining "who" would make a good school leader. The problem with personality and trait-based measurements, however, emerged in the difference between pencil-and-paper test performances, and interactive social behaviors, which often contradicted each other. As the ideas of school culture emerged with the introduction of Anthropology's understanding of "culture," school leadership was re-conceptualized towards a cultural and social-based understanding of inter-active participants with values and interests that required inclusivity in the school's community. As personality was regarded less and less relevant to educational leadership, sociality and communicative skills were regarded as more valuable, as were abilities in negotiation, compassion and patience. This has produced a multi-dimensional approach to educational leadership, where all levels of school activity, including the school's relation with its community, are included in understanding what it required of an educational leader.

"The use of telemetric and computer-based imaging systems continues to find widening application in potentially all aspects of medicine. In particular, current surgical practices have benefited from the computer revolution in ways which include three-dimensional imaging in CAS, computerized navigation and simulation programs, the use of virtual reality based technology with remote monitoring interfaces, as well as computerized digital network systems for interactive teaching.
Vannier and Marsh (1996) provide a review of three-dimensional imaging and its wide use in medical practice and various levels of surgical disciplines. As well as aiding in improving the understanding and application of quantitative data in diagnosis, intervention and therapy, CAS (computer assisted surgery) provides insight into complex anatomy, surgical ..."

Abstract
The concept of leadership has gained a large amount of attention in recent years, as sports have increased in popularity and researchers have placed an emphasis on determining the relationship between leaders, teams and performance. This paper examines the Multidimensional Model of Sport Leadership which states that optimal performance and satisfaction are achieved when leader's required, preferred and actual behaviors are consistent. The paper also discuses the many studies which have been conducted to try to develop or expand the knowledge of the topic of sport leadership.

From the Paper
"Chelladurai's research proposed the Multidimensional Model of Leadership, in which the characteristics of the leader and group members interact with situational factors, like the athletic program philosophy. Therefore, the specific characteristics of an effective leader are hypothesized to differ as a function of context. Thus, the sport leader characteristics that are the most effective for male basketball players may be different than the characteristics of effective leaders on a women's swim team.

A leader is one of the most important aspects of an organization. The major task of an athletic trainer is to get employees to perform their best. An athletic trainer, such as a coach, must complete successfully implement training schedules, and provide competing athletes with the skills needed to target the training objects. In addition, to handle a team, a leader must act as a friend, consultant, manager, psychologist, and funds collector of athletes."

From the Paper
"Instrumentally produced images greatly extend the range of human vision. Consequently, numerous technologies have been developed to create them. Perhaps one of the most useful of these consists of ultrasound. Three-dimensional reconstructions of ultrasound images make them easier to understand. Thus, in recent years, several three-dimensional ultrasonographic systems have been applied to various uses. Perhaps, at some time in the future, such systems will not only display information, but interpret it as well.

The anatomic structures and physiologic processes responsible for vision provide humans with an extremely effective mechanism for gathering information. This system can be substantially enhanced through the use of instruments (7:9-29)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although global positioning systems provide cartographers with the ability to pinpoint topographical features and today the ability to express relief and contours on modern maps is commonplace, it was not always this easy. The author points out that, while the history of map-making is truly ancient, the ability to communicate accurately relief features on maps began in Italy during the 15th century. The paper concludes that today's cartographer enjoys the benefits of centuries of research into different ways of communicating three-dimensional features on two-dimensional planes and that the introduction of powerful three-dimensional computer-based visualization applications represents a true milestone in cartography history. The paper includes quotations and illustrations.

From the Paper
"According to Kirschenbauer and Buchroithner (2001), although these three-dimensional techniques provide the user with a decent overall impression of the represented relief, the transmission of detailed information and precise height data as it is rendered by contour lines is not simplified to any significant degree. This is because any of the older (which is to say a couple of years) present detailed landforms with techniques that do not provide a truly comprehensive picture yet. However, these authors emphasize that new technological innovations are making strides in this direction every day."

Abstract
This paper explains that, while conventional X-ray exams produce two-dimensional images, CT scans use an X-ray-sensing unit that rotates around the body and a large computer to create cross-sectional images of the inside of your body. The author points out that the paranasal sinuses, a complex three-dimensional structure, prior to the use of CAT, could only be viewed through dangerous surgery; however, now with CAT, they can be viewed by computer-aided, image-guided, endoscopic sinus surgery avoiding surgical pitfalls. The paper relates that there can be risks associated with CAT scans similar to the risks of conventional rays; however, doctors and other scientists believe that CAT scans provide enough valuable information to outweigh the associated risks of radiation.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"During its brief history, advancements for computerized tomography have made great improvements in speed, patient comfort, and resolution. As scan times have gotten faster, more anatomy can be scanned more quickly and more efficiently. The extreme speed of scanning allows the elimination of artifacts from patient motion such as normal breathing. Faster scanning helps to eliminate artifacts from patient motion such as breathing or peristalsis. CT exams are even now quicker and more patient friendly than ever before. Tremendous research and development has been made to provide exceptional image quality for a diagnostic guarantee of the lowest possible x-ray dose."
