Motivated sequence

Examples of Motivated sequence in the following topics:

• Motivating Listeners

  • We can divide our motives into two basic types: internal, intrinsic and external or extrinsic motives.
  • Alan Monroe's motivated sequence is a method for organizing persuasive speeches.
  • The advantage of Monroe's Motivated Sequence is that it emphasizes what the audience can do.
  • Too often the audience feels like a situation is hopeless; Monroe's motivated sequence emphasizes the action the audience can take.
  • Explain the steps that make up Alan Monroe's motivated sequence for organizing persuasive speeches, and how Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs serves as a method for motivating listeners

• Persuasive Speeches on Questions of Policy

  • Another powerful method of structuring a persuasive message is by using a motivated sequence.
  • The premise is that action is motivated by audience needs.
  • The advantage of Monroe's motivated sequence is that it emphasizes what the audience can do.
  • Too often, the audience feels like a situation is hopeless; Monroe's motivated sequence emphasizes the actions the audience can take.

• Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory

  • To motivate employees management must enrich the content of the actual work they ask them to do.
  • The subjects were asked to relate times when they felt exceptionally good or bad about their present job or any previous job, and to provide reasons, and a description of the sequence of events giving rise to that positive or negative feeling.
  • Essentially, motivation factors are needed to motivate an employee to higher performance.
  • Herzberg argues that both motivation and hygiene are equally important, but that good hygiene will only lead to average performance, preventing dissatisfaction, but not, by itself, create a positive attitude or motivation to work.
  • Maslow's hierarchy captures the varying degree of needs by which humans are motivated.

• Sequences

  • A sequence is an ordered list of objects (or events).
  • Also, the sequence $(1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8)$, which contains the number $1$ at two different positions, is a valid sequence.
  • Sequences can be finite, as in this example, or infinite, such as the sequence of all even positive integers $(2, 4, 6, \cdots)$.
  • Finite sequences are sometimes known as strings or words, and infinite sequences as streams.
  • The empty sequence $( \quad )$ is included in most notions of sequence, but may be excluded depending on the context.

• Arithmetic Sequences

  • An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.
  • An arithmetic progression, or arithmetic sequence, is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.
  • For instance, the sequence $5, 7, 9, 11, 13, \cdots$ is an arithmetic sequence with common difference of $2$.
  • The behavior of the arithmetic sequence depends on the common difference $d$.
  • Calculate the nth term of an arithmetic sequence and describe the properties of arithmetic sequences

• DNA Sequencing Techniques

  • The Sanger sequencing method was used for the human genome sequencing project, which was finished its sequencing phase in 2003, but today both it and the Gilbert method have been largely replaced by better methods.
  • When the human genome was first sequenced using Sanger sequencing, it took several years, hundreds of labs working together, and a cost of around $100 million to sequence it to almost completion.
  • Sanger sequence can only produce several hundred nucleotides of sequence per reaction.
  • Most next-generation sequencing techniques generate even smaller blocks of sequence.
  • Most genomic sequencing projects today make use of an approach called whole genome shotgun sequencing.

• DNA Sequencing Based on Sanger Dideoxynucleotides

  • Sanger sequencing, also known as chain-termination sequencing, refers to a method of DNA sequencing developed by Frederick Sanger in 1977.
  • More recently, dye-terminator sequencing has been developed.
  • Automated DNA-sequencing instruments (DNA sequencers) can sequence up to 384 DNA samples in a single batch (run) in up to 24 runs a day.
  • Automation has lead to the sequencing of entire genomes.
  • Different types of Sanger sequencing, all of which depend on the sequence being stopped by a terminating dideoxynucleotide (black bars).

• Strategies Used in Sequencing Projects

  • The strategies used for sequencing genomes include the Sanger method, shotgun sequencing, pairwise end, and next-generation sequencing.
  • All of the segments are then sequenced using the chain-sequencing method.
  • A larger sequence that is assembled from overlapping shorter sequences is called a contig.
  • This is the principle behind reconstructing entire DNA sequences using shotgun sequencing.
  • Compare the different strategies used for whole-genome sequencing:  Sanger method, shotgun sequencing, pairwise-end sequencing, and next-generation sequencing

• Sequences of Mathematical Statements

  • In mathematics, a sequence is an ordered list of objects, or elements.
  • Unlike a set, order matters in sequences and exactly the same elements can appear multiple times at different positions in the sequence.
  • A sequence is a discrete function.
  • Sequences can be finite, as in this example, or infinite, such as the sequence of all even positive integers $(2,4,6, \cdots )$.
  • Sequences of statements are necessary for mathematical induction.

• Introduction to Sequences

  • Sequences can be finite, as in this example, or infinite, such as the sequence of all even positive integers $(2, 4, 6, \cdots )$.
  • Finite sequences are sometimes known as strings or words and infinite sequences as streams.
  • Finite sequences include the empty sequence $( \quad )$ that has no elements.
  • These are called recursive sequences.
  • Assume our sequence is $t_1, t_2, \ldots $.
