...LET 1 Task 3 Thomas Pepper 195297 Introduction: Corporation A was founded in 1989 and focuses on creating marketing programs for the real estate industry. The corporate mission of Corporation A is to help clients improve their real estate sales. The Corporation A team is comprised of professionals with varied backgrounds and experience levels. The company prides itself on fostering a team environment throughout the organization. Given: Employee 1 has worked in the marketing department at Corporation A for 12 years. In the marketing department, employees who earn a superior rating on their yearly performance evaluation receive a large bonus at the end of the year. Employee 1 often comes into the office on weekends or stays late to ensure the work is complete and accurate. The marketing manager encourages employees to work beyond the requisite 40 hours a week by reminding them of the yearly bonus for receiving a superior rating on their next evaluation. Employee 1 is planning to use the bonus for a well-deserved vacation that would be unaffordable without the bonus. Employee 2 is the only certified public accountant (CPA) in the accounting department at Corporation A. Employee 2 has negotiated with the accounting manager to work a four-day work week and is the only person in that department allowed to work a compressed work week. The accounting manager agreed to the shortened work week because Employee 2 is the only employee who can prepare the company’s financial...

...1. REVIEW OF BASIC MATHEMATICS 1.0 INTRODUCTION Perhaps twenty years ago the only mathematics a business student was expected to know was a little basic arithmetic. However with the advent and widespread use of computers, it has become possible to process huge quantities of data and to use sophisticated mathematical techniques to solve complex business problems with relative ease. Consequently, it has become expedient to formulate many business problems mathematically and hence business students in our current age are required to attain at least a basic understanding of the various mathematical techniques that are available. The mathematics that is presented in this section is by no means sophisticated. It is meant to serve only as a reminder of basic definitions and techniques learned in secondary school. However because of its very basic nature it is essential that the work presented here be completely mastered if you are to fully understand the work of later sections and later years. Your primary aim for this section is therefore quite simple, to master each of the topics listed in the contents covering the area of number systems, algebra and equation solving. Your guide to a sufficient understanding of these subjects is also simple. If you can correctly solve the problems at the end of each section then you can be fairly confident you have mastered the necessary techniques required for later work. You should attempt all the problems presented unless you...

...Joseph Soto Mr. Eldon Conder EN 1410 April 9, 2014 What is a tesla coil? A tesla coil is a resonant air core transformer system invented by inventor Nikola Tesla in the 1890’s. Originally, tesla coils were designed to broadcast electricity and signals wirelessly, however, several engineering and monetary setbacks prevented the tesla coil from becoming the popular mode of energy transfer, and a power distribution method architecture relying on use of power grid lines (wires/cables) became the prevailing and accepted method. Now, tesla coils are primarily used for short-range wireless power transmission, for lighting up some types of lights, and for presentation/entertainment purposes. The operating principle behind a tesla coil is somewhat simple. Energy is sent to charge up a capacitor or set of capacitors. At a certain point, the capacitors are forced to discharge into the primary coil. When the energy that is stored in the capacitors is sent through the primary coil, a large amount of energy is induced “sent” into the secondary coil alternating current is basically just electricity that changes voltage. When a capacitor is fires the voltage changes from essentially zero to something really large in a very short time. Since there are more turns in the secondary coil, the induced energy has a higher voltage, but a lower current than in the primary coil. The capacitors recharge and start this cycle again. The capacitance of the capacitor and the inductance of the...

... A number can be represented with different base values. We are familiar with the numbers in the base 10 (known as decimal numbers), with digits taking values 0,1,2,…,8,9. A computer uses a Binary number system which has a base 2 and digits can have only TWO values: 0 and 1. A decimal number with a few digits can be expressed in binary form using a large number of digits. Thus the number 65 can be expressed in binary form as 1000001. The binary form can be expressed more compactly by grouping 3 binary digits together to form an octal number. An octal number with base 8 makes use of the EIGHT digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7. A more compact representation is used by Hexadecimal representation which groups 4 binary digits together. It can make use of 16 digits, but since we have only 10 digits, the remaining 6 digits are made up of first 6 letters of the alphabet. Thus the hexadecimal base uses 0,1,2,….8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F as digits. To summarize Decimal : base 10 Binary : base 2 Octal: base 8 Hexadecimal : base 16 Decimal, Binary, Octal, and Hex Numbers Decimal 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Binary 0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111 Octal 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Hexadecimal 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F Conversion of binary to decimal ( base 2 to base 10) Each position of binary digit can be replaced by an equivalent power of 2 as shown below. 2n-1 2n-2 …… …… 23 22 21 20 Thus...

...Let us take the example of a communication system. One would like to send 4 bits of data (a bit is a binary digit, which is simply a logic variable that accepts only two values: “0” and “1”). These 4 bits of data will correspond to 16 different possible levels (0000 to 1111). If we associate a number to each combination, then we will have 16 numbers from 0 to 15 (if using hexadecimal base, we have then the following digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F). The probability to have each of one of the digits is then 1/16. Let us assume that we connect a microphone to a digital system that will encore the different sound levels over 4 bits, or 16 levels (this is called quantization), then before any sound is recorded, one cannot know, a priori, what will be the value in bits of the data to be collected....

...1- Write a detailed comparison between cabled network and wireless network. The basic difference between a wired and a wireless network is self-explanatory. A wired network uses wires to communicate whereas a wireless network uses radio waves. let us look at what are the other differences and how one technology gets an edge over the other. * Wired networks are easy to set up and troubleshoot where wireless networks are comparatively difficult to set up, maintain, and troubleshoot. * Wired networks make you immobile while wireless ones provide you with convenience of movement. * Wired networks prove expensive when covering a large area because of the wiring and cabling while wireless networks do not involve this cost. * Wired networks have better transmission speeds than wireless ones. * In a wired network, a user does not have to share space with other users and thus gets dedicated speeds while in wireless networks, the same connection may be shared by multiple users. Wired and Wireless networks are very common in the workplace as well as in the home. The wired Computer Networks provide a secure and faster means of connectivity but the need of mobility for example anywhere, anytime and anyone access is tilting the network users towards wireless technology. Wireless technology has high mobility. Technology has been created to store, transmit and receive data through networks at very high rates of speed. Users can now store detailed information at a...

...Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 49, No. 4 , 1993. pp. 227-251 The Bases of Power: Origins and Recent Developments Bertram H. Raven University of California, Los Angeles The history and background of the analysis of the basis of power is examined, beginning with its origins in the works of Kurt Lewin and his followers at the Research Center for Group Dynamics, particularly the early research by John R. P. French. The original French and Raven (1959) bases of power model posited six bases of power: reward, coercion, legitimate, expert, referent, and informational (or persuasion; Raven, 1965). Since then, as the result of considerable research, the model has gone through signiJicant developments. A more comprehensive model is presented here that reviews the following: various motivations of the influencing agent; an assessment of available power bases in terms of potential effectiveness, time perspective, personal preferences, values and norms; consideration of other strategies such as manipulation; utilization of various preparatory and stage-setting devices to strengthen olte’s power resources; implementation of the power strategies; assessment of effectiveness of influence attempt and its positive andl or negative aftereffects; use of various ameliorative devices; and review, reconsideration, and another round of influence strategies. The overall model is examined in terms of its applicability to various settings including hospital infection control, patient compliance...

...Section V – Article 1-6 Power and Influence is the topic for section V, it discussed six of the most important ideas on power and influence. It also defined power as the resource that allows leaders to influence people to do what they would normally not want to do. The first selection from the section is by Niccolo Machiavelli titled, “Is it better to be Loved than to be Feared,” from the book “The Prince”. Machiavelli’s whole idea is that it is better to have both loved and feared but if it’s not possible to have both, then it’s better to be feared because fear is more reliable than love. He proposed that a relationship based on love alone tends to be fickle, short lived, and easily terminated when there is no fear of retribution. While on the other hand, relationships based on fear tends to last longer because individual must be ready to ‘pay the price’ before terminating the relationship. He also made a warning about how leaders have to be careful and not let the fear turn into hatred because hatred usually educes unconcealed behavior in terms of retaliation, undermining, and possibly attempt to overthrow or rebellion. The second article, “The Bases of Social Power,” by John R.P. French Jr. and Bertram Raven discussed about five major bases of power, which are, expert power, referent power, reward power, legitimate power, and coercive power. Leadership and power tends to go hand-in-hand because people follow those that are powerful, the person with power lead while others follow...

...Number Systems: An Introduction to Binary, Hexadecimal, and More by Jason Killian13 Feb 2012 Ever see crazy binary numbers and wonder what they meant? Ever see numbers with letters mixed in and wonder what is going on? You'll find out all of this and more in this article. Hexadecimal doesn't have to be scary. (Thanks to the ReBoot Wiki for the thumbnail image.) Introduction: What is a Number System? You probably already know what a number system is - ever hear of binary numbers or hexadecimal numbers? Simply put, a number system is a way to represent numbers. We are used to using the base-10 number system, which is also called decimal. Other common number systems include base-16 (hexadecimal), base-8 (octal), and base-2 (binary). In this article, I'll explain what these different systems are, how to work with them, and why knowing about them will help you. Activity Before we get started, let's try a little activity for fun. There are many different ways to represent a color, but one of the most common is the RGB color model. Using this model, every color is made up of a combination of different amounts of red, green, and blue. You may be wondering how colors relate to number systems. In short, on a computer, any color is stored as a large number: a combination of red, green, and blue. (We'll go into more detail on this later.) Because it's just a number, it can be represented in multiple ways using different number systems. Your job is to guess how much red, green...
