Describe one difference and one similarity between science and pseudoscience.

irakobra [83]3 years ago

A scientific experiment is repeatable. Pseudoscience makes claims that cannot be either confirmed or denied. Both seem to want to explain our experiences and broaden our understanding. Science, as a working method, employs basic principles such as objectivity and accuracy to establish a finding. It often also uses certain admitted assumptions about reality, assumptions that must eventually support themselves and be proven, or the resulting finding fails verification. Pseudoscience, however, uses invented modes of analysis which it pretends or professes meet the requirements of scientific method, but which in fact violate it's essential attributes. Many obvious examples of pseudoscience are easy to identify, but the more subtile and herefore more insidious and convincing cases.

Why is it useful for students to practice the MLA and APA citation methods?

Answer:

Citing or documenting the sources used in your research serves three purposes:

It gives proper credit to the authors of the words or ideas that you incorporated into your paper.

It allows those who are reading your work to locate your sources, in order to learn more about the ideas that you include in your paper.

ossless compression tools generally use either Huffman coding or Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) coding. Discuss the advantages and disad
anygoal [31]

Answer:

It we were asked to develop a new data compression tool, it is recommended to use Huffman coding since it is easy to implement and it is widely used.

Explanation:

The pros and the cons of Huffman coding

Huffman coding is one of the most simple compressing encoding schemes and can be implemented easily and efficiently. It also has the advantage of not being patented like other methods (e.g. arithmetic codingfor example) which however are superior to Huffman coding in terms of resulting code length.

One thing not mentioned so far shall not be kept secret however: to decode our 96 bit of “brief wit” the potential receiver of the bit sequence does need the codes for all letters! In fact he doesn’t even know which letters are encoded at all! Adding this information, which is also called the “Huffman table” might use up more space than the original uncompressed sentence!

However: for longer texts the savings outweigh the added Huffman table length. One can also agree on a Huffman table to use that isn’t optimized for the exact text to be transmitted but is good in general. In the English language for example the letters “e” and “t” occur most often while “q” and “z” make up the least part of an average text and one can agree on one Huffman table to use that on average produces a good (=short) result. Once agreed upon it doesn’t have to be transmitted with every encoded text again.

One last thing to remember is that Huffman coding is not restricted to letters and text: it can be used for just any symbols, numbers or “abstract things” that can be assigned a bit sequence to. As such Huffman coding plays an important role in other compression algorithms like JPG compression for photos and MP3 for audio files.

The pros and the cons of Lempel-Ziv-Welch

The size of files usually increases to a great extent when it includes lots of repetitive data or monochrome images. LZW compression is the best technique for reducing the size of files containing more repetitive data. LZW compression is fast and simple to apply. Since this is a lossless compression technique, none of the contents in the file are lost during or after compression. The decompression algorithm always follows the compression algorithm. LZW algorithm is efficient because it does not need to pass the string table to the decompression code. The table can be recreated as it was during compression, using the input stream as data. This avoids insertion of large string translation table with the compression data.

natulia [17]

Answer: Geotagging was enabled on her smartphone

Explanation:

The security weakness that is the most likely cause of the security breach is that geotagging was enabled on the vice president's smartphone.

Geotagging, occurs when geographical identification metadata are added to websites, photograph, video, etc. Geotagging can be used to get the location of particular place.

In this case, since geotagging was enabled on her smartphone, it was easy for the attacker to locate her house.
