Trial and Error and Algorithm01:12

Trial and Error and Algorithm

429
A problem-solving strategy is a plan of action used to find a solution. Different strategies have distinct action plans. Trial and error involves trying different solutions until one works. For instance, to fix a broken printer, you might check ink levels, ensure the paper tray isn't jammed, and verify the printer's connection to your laptop. This method can be time-consuming but is commonly used. Thomas Edison, for example, used trial and error to find a suitable filament for the light...

Cable Subjected to Its Own Weight

804
Overhead power transmission lines rely on cables to carry electricity across large distances. To ensure the stability and functionality of these lines, it is crucial to understand the shape and tension experienced by the cables under the influence of their weight.
A generalized loading function is employed to analyze a cable subjected to its own weight. This function considers the force acting along the cable's arc length rather than its projected length, providing a more accurate...

Cable Subjected to Concentrated Loads

1.4K
Flexible cables are commonly used in various applications for support and load transmission. Consider a cable fixed at two points and subjected to multiple vertically concentrated loads. Determine the shape of the cable and the tension in each portion of the cable, given the horizontal distances between the loads and supports.

Cable Subjected to a Distributed Load

1.1K
The analysis of suspension bridges is a complex and critical process that involves multiple factors, including the shape and tension of the main cables. The main cables of suspension bridges are subjected to distributed loads, which result in changes in tensile forces and deformation of the cable. These loads must be carefully considered to ensure that the bridge is safe and capable of supporting the weight of different loads.

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System I: Subjective Data01:17

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System I: Subjective Data

689
Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health History
The initial step in assessing the GI system is obtaining a comprehensive health history. This includes inquiring about the patient's history or presence of problems...

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System I: Subjective Data

926
A thorough health history and physical assessment are essential for identifying cardiovascular disease (CVD) symptoms and distinguishing them from other health issues.
Initial Enquiry
Ask the patient about their primary concern and thoroughly explore all reported symptoms.
Medical History
Investigate past illnesses affecting the cardiovascular system, such as angina, anemia, rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, stroke, thrombophlebitis, dysrhythmias, varicosities
Inquire about symptoms...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology and Computer Science
  • Science, Technology, and Society (STS) Studies

Background:

  • Public controversies, such as the Facebook 'emotional contagion' study and Cambridge Analytica's data profiling, underscore the public's concern regarding the intersection of psychology and computer science.
  • The historical entanglement of psychology and computer science has led to the application of psychological techniques in digital technologies, focusing on quantifying human subjectivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and define the concept of the "scalable subject."
  • To analyze how algorithmic psychometrics shapes this "scalable subject" through digital platforms.
  • To advocate for renewed attention from STS scholars towards the psychological sciences and computational politics in the context of digital media.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of the "scalable subject" construct.
  • Examination of "algorithmic psychometrics" as a shaping force on digital platforms.
  • Review of public controversies linking psychological studies and digital technologies.

Main Results:

  • A quantifiable psychological subject position has been translated into a "scalable subject" through big data and algorithmic analysis.
  • Algorithmic psychometrics, influenced by psychology and behavioral sciences, shapes digital platform affordances.
  • The "scalable subject" is made legible and amenable to classification via digital media.

Conclusions:

  • The concept of the "scalable subject" is a product of algorithmic psychometrics and big data analysis.
  • There is an urgent need for STS scholars to focus on the psychological sciences and computational politics.
  • Understanding the "scalable subject" is crucial for analyzing digital media's impact on psychology, emotional expression, and sociality.
