...Synthesis Paper: Leadership Ella Mathis-James June 17, 2015 Doctoral students are the future of academic circles and need to possess an in-depth research-based approach. The three articles covered in this paper focuses on organizational candidates, presidential affiliates and doctoral students with the leadership skills needed for the role of educated professionals research. This paper will have the in-depth research-based on the commonality of all the articles which is inclusive of personality and behavior traits as well as embracing the management philosophy portraying a functional method to detect prospective leaders. It is not an ironclad method which envisages who will direct or by what method will he or she direct. These articles give a concept into the methods to effect or utilize a particular description of successful management. However the conception of an effective leader is biased, which makes it challenging to visibly describe what characteristics and qualities cause somebody to be an effective administrator or leader. There is also not any unanimity concluded as to which traits are largely significant for those in chief positions such as leaders and administrators to have. Although some view character traits like self-confidence and inspiration, others contemplate natural traits like individuals size to be more important. This paper is a synthesis analysis of three research articles that explored leadership styles, individual’s temperaments, perception of themselves...

...Module #1 - Synthesis Paper Like most workers, there are times, while working as part of a team, when I think, “I could get this done faster by myself.” My thought may be accurate, but would completing the project as a team be more beneficial for the company in the long run? Let’s look at some pros and cons of working as a team, using an imaginary project as an example. Project: Mass communication to geographically diverse work force regarding upcoming changes to health benefits • Teamwork Con: Speed o Working in a team requires multiple schedules to be coordinated. If Mary’s part of the project cannot be done until Bob has completed his part of the project, Mary becomes dependent on Bob’s schedule. Bob may experience an illness or be assigned a task that requires immediate completion. Mary could have completed the entire project faster had she been working by herself. o The deadline for this project cannot be altered, as the implementation date for the changes to benefits is set in stone. • Teamwork Pro: Multiple perspectives o Having varied perspectives on the strategy used to announce the benefit changes may be the difference between retaining and losing valuable workers. o A team approach to this project can include perspectives from various geographic regions, which may have varied cultural influences and communication styles. What may seem like an innocuous change in Region A may be much more significant in Region B. While the change may still have...

...Reflection Paper Assignments Due Dates: March 20, April 3, May 1 Overview These reflection papers are the chance for you to review your recent journal entries (or the sum total, if that helps) and to synthesize some thread of thinking or learning that you find in there. You might build on a single entry or on something bridging multiple entries, but the point is to capture something that you are learning. We expect the paper to have some over-arching, coherent argument so that it is not simply a string of thoughts. A string of thoughts is fine for your journal entries, but here we do want some synthesis. You should not spend time summarizing your activities, unless that is essential for your argument. Grading Criteria The criteria we will use to evaluate the papers are listed below. Note that you do not have to address all of these criteria in one paper. We want you to address all of them over the course of the semester, but any single paper can focus on only one or two of these. Regardless of what you choose to write your reflection synthesis on, your paper must demonstrate clear, coherent argumentation. 1. Expression of Learning 2. Discussion and/or synthesis of course readings 3. Reflection on assumptions and cultural frames of reference 4. Connection to proposal process Word Count The reflection papers, except for the final one, should be at least 500 words, but not a lot longer than that. The final paper should be around...

...Greatworks C36 Camille Lim November 25, 2015 11300116 Pakikipagkapwa , Pagsasaayos at Pakikiramdam are the three main topics that were thoroughly discussed during the term which are all related to Psychology, Political Science and Sociology respectively. This paper’s objective is to show what the learning outcomes are by discussing all the topics that were covered throughout the term as well as including the realizations or learning that comes along with it. As an individual, we would naturally want to be part of a group where we people will welcome us with open arms. To be part of a group is not an easy task it is based on how you will connect and earn this people’s trust and respect which leads to the importance of knowing how these three will play an important role in one’s life. Knowing these three will give you the first step to the path that will lead you to creating a new relationship with another individual. During the start of the term, I thought that “pakikipagkapwa” is a simple word that means “just socializing or simply just starting a conversation without even trying or understanding a person”. Thinking that it is an obligation not something that is done on your own accord but after further understanding what it is I realized that it is actually a fundamental relationship with oneself and the other or another person that is not based solely on obligation but on how you actually want to connect or understand this person in order for you to get along...

...Theodore Burnett ENG-111 Synthesis Final Draft November 3, 2013 Different Point of Views on Abortion There are many different views about how an abortion affects a person. The first article that I came across is titled “Religious Perspectives On Abortion and A Secular Response.” This article was written by Rachek Ankeny, Moira Stephens, Christopher Jordens, and Ian Kerridge. These authors believe that having an abortion can cause medical, religious, and social discourse. This article talks about the point of views from seven of the major religious groups around the world. (Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Confucian, and Hindu.) These authors have interviewed a medical doctor that represents one of the seven major religious so that they could get information on how different religious are affected by termination of a pregnancy. They first interviewed a Catholic doctor by the name of Helen Watt. Dr. Helen Watts explained that the Catholic Church has a long history of comforting women who have been harmed morally and emotionally by an abortion, and helping them deal with what has happened and make their peace with God. The emotional damage can be extensive and many women feel like they need assistance from post-abortion counseling and self-help organizations with the same feeling that they have experienced. Historically, the Catholic church has always been opposing the termination of pregnancies. The Catholic church believes that humans are...

...SYNTHESIS AND RELEVANCE OF THE REVIEW A general synthetic route to two DOTA-linked N-Fmoc amino acids (DOTA-F and DOTA-K) is described that allows insertion of DOTA at any endo-position within a peptide sequence. Three model pentapeptides were prepared to test the general utility of these derivatives in solid-phase peptide synthesis. Both DOTA derivatives reacted smoothly by means of standard HBTU activation chemistry to the point of insertion of the DOTA amino acid, but extension of the peptide chain beyond the DOTA-amino acid insertion required the use of pre-activated C-pentafluorophenyl ester N-alpha-Fmoc amino acids. Three Gal-80 binding peptides (12-mers) were then prepared by using this methodology with DOTA positioned either at the N terminus or at one of two different internal positions;the binding of the resulting GdDOTA-12-mers to Gal-80 were compared. The methodology described here allows versatile, controlled introduction of DOTA into any location within a peptide sequence. This provides a potential method for the screening of libraries of DOTA-linked peptides for optimal targeting properties This report describes the synthesis and structural characterization of the indium complex of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid mono(p-aminoanilide) (DOTA-AA), a model compound for 111In-labeled DOTA-biomolecule conjugates. In(DOTA-AA) was prepared by reacting DOTA-AA with 1 equiv of InCl3 in 0.5 M ammonium acetate buffer (pH ∼ 6). It was characterized...

...field being researched and worked on these days. This paper presents an overview of speech synthesis approach, its applications and advancements towards modern technology. It begins with a description of how such systems work, examines the use of text-to-speech software and try to apply this technology to the DMCS project for evidence of benefits of text to speech applications for people engaged in different fields and the level of accuracy that can be expected. Applications of speech synthesis technology in various fields are then explored. The document concludes with potential uses of speech to text in various fields, likely main uses of the technology in the future. TEXT TO SPEECH – INTRODUCTION A Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesis is a widely used technology that should be able to read any text aloud, whether it was directly introduced in the computer by an operator or scanned and submitted to an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system. Let it be more precise, systems that simply concatenate isolated words or parts of sentences, denoted as Voice Response Systems, are only applicable when a limited vocabulary is required (typically a few one hundreds of words), and when the sentences to be pronounced respect a very restricted structure, as is the case for the announcement of arrivals in train stations for instance. It’s well known that the context of TTS synthesis is impossible to record and store all the words of the...

...CONCATENATIVE TEXT-TO-SPEECH SYNTHESIS OF TWO-SYLLABLE FILIPINO WORDS Lourdes T. Tupas, Rowena Cristina L. Guevara, Ph.D., and Melvin Co Digital Signal Processing Laboratory Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering University of the Philippines, Diliman ABSTRACT In concatenative-based speech synthesizers, one of the most important problems is proper union of speech units to achieve an intelligible and natural-sounding synthetic speech. For that purpose, speech units need to be processed and concatenated so that discontinuities at concatenation points are minimized. Another possible solution to this is by using a larger speech unit to decrease the number of concatenation points. In this project, which utilized two-syllable Filipino words, the speech unit is syllable. Characterization of these Filipino words is done to differentiate words of the same spelling but of different meanings. This characterization took note of the pitch, duration of utterance of each syllable in the word, and the first three formant frequencies. A digital signal processing (DSP) block is also implemented. It accepts two-syllable text and outputs all the possible utterances of that word; this block is the text-to-speech synthesizer. A two-interval forced choice test was conducted to evaluate the level of naturalness of the synthesized speech. Words of the same spelling but of different meanings are distinguished using the prosody and intelligibility test. 1. INTRODUCTION ...

...text-to-text translation (MT) and text-to-speech synthesis (SS). This paper proposes and illustrates an evaluation methodology for this noisy channel which tries to quantify the relative amount of degradation in translation quality due to each of the contributing modules. A small pilot experiment involving word-accuracy rate for the SR, and a fidelity evaluation for the MT and SS modules is proposed in which subjects are asked to paraphrase translated and/or synthesised sentences from a tourist’s phrasebook. Results show (as expected) that MT is the “noisiest” channel, with SS contributing least noise. The concatenation of the three channels is worse than could be predicted from the performance of each as individual tasks. 1. Introduction Evaluation is without doubt a major aspect of language engineering, including Machine Translation (MT). Although it is still true that no consensus exists regarding the best way to evaluate software, there is general agreement about some of the factors that must be taken into account when deciding what form an evaluation should take. MT evaluation has been much studied in recent years, so much so that it has been light-heartedly claimed that MT evaluation “is a better founded subject than machine translation” (Wilks, 1994:1). If this is no longer strictly true, it is because MT is arguably in pretty good shape, at least text-to-text MT of restricted texts or for restricted purposes. This paper however...

...ARTICLES PUBLISHED ONLINE: 15 DECEMBER 2014 | DOI: 10.1038/NCHEM.2131 Copper-catalysed selective hydroamination reactions of alkynes Shi-Liang Shi and Stephen L. Buchwald* The development of selective reactions that utilize easily available and abundant precursors for the efficient synthesis of amines is a long-standing goal of chemical research. Despite the centrality of amines in a number of important research areas, including medicinal chemistry, total synthesis and materials science, a general, selective and step-efficient synthesis of amines is still needed. Here, we describe a set of mild catalytic conditions utilizing a single copper-based catalyst that enables the direct preparation of three distinct and important amine classes (enamines, α-chiral branched alkylamines and linear alkylamines) from readily available alkyne starting materials with high levels of chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity. This methodology was applied to the asymmetric synthesis of rivastigmine and the formal synthesis of several other pharmaceutical agents, including duloxetine, atomoxetine, fluoxetine and tolterodine. C omplex organic molecules play a crucial role in the study and treatment of disease. The extent to which they can be utilized in these endeavours depends on the efficient and selective chemical methods for their construction1. Amines are widely represented in biologically active natural products and medicines2 (a small selection of which are shown in Fig. 1a). Consequently, the selective...
