The Two-Point Threshold I. Introduction In the two-point threshold experiment it is obtained how close two distinct sharp point can be together for a person to feel two points instead of one. The value of the two-point threshold is the minimal distance at which the subject can feel two distinct points. The principle behind this experiment is the fact that mechanoreceptors are not distributed homogeneously in the skin of the human body. There are areas with a higher density and areas with a lower

Two-Point Discrimination Test: Determining the Two-Point Threshold ABSTRACT The two-point discrimination test of the skin is a simple test of the sensory nerve function. Two-point discrimination measures the individual’s capability to distinguish two points of stimuli presented at the same time. The importance of this study is the ability to tell of two points verses than one that pressing on the skin depends on two things: the concentration of the sensory receptors and the connections that

and Return Tradeoff Memo The process of portfolio construction can be quite complex. Analysts go through reams of statistics – past performance‚ future potential‚ and industry knowledge and rely on personal insights into the market to arrive at the final list (UOP‚ 2009). Every investor aims to maximize returns while minimizing risk. Individual securities must be evaluated not only on the risk-return trade-off in isolation but also on their contribution to the risk-return tradeoff of the entire

Assignment 1: Tradeoffs” Fuel efficiency cars are something that we really need in society today. Unfortunately‚ there are some tradeoffs. For instance to make a car more fuel efficiency manufactures would have to make the car lighter. With the technology we have now‚ making the cars lighters will make it a little less safe when in car accidents. Also they are at the time more expensive than our regular vehicles we have now. So lighter unsafe cars and more expensive cars are the tradeoffs we have for

Unfortunately‚ these two goals are conflicting which makes the job of most scheduling algorithms that want to achieve both hard. Here‚ we investigate the trade offs between throughput and fairness for iSLIP‚ one of the most

It illustrates: opportunity cost‚ efficiency‚ and economic growth. There are two basic sources of growth: an increase in factors of production‚ resources such as land‚ labor‚ capital‚ and human capital‚ inputs that are not used up in production‚ and improved technology. 3. Another important model is comparative advantage‚ which

activity dealt with two-point acuity. Different parts of our body performs a specific function that which they were built to execute. However‚ the sensitivity each surface of our body reveals to be different. Some areas of the body will have a variety of sensory receptors‚ which requires more sensory input. Therefore‚ body parts have their own sensation depth that one can measure through two-point acuity. Results Participant #1: Initially‚ the researcher placed the compass points with one on the tip
