For a review of memo format, refer to the style sheet posted to your Assignments folder. Writing Situation You are the Research Business Manager for Dalhousie University. One of the university’s scientists, Dr. Melinda Chen, has, as the Principal Investigator, signed the research contract (the “Research Contract Template” .pdf document found under “Preparation for Assignment #1” in the Assignment folder). The contract is between Dalhousie University and Company ABC. Dr. Chen is an untenured Assistant Professor in a STEM discipline and is in the early stages of her academic career. She has received funding for this research project but has limited experience of legal agreements such as the one she has signed and she finds its language ambiguous and problematic. In other words, such is a specialist when it comes to her discipline but a layperson in terms of her understanding of legal language. Violating terms of the agreement could have serious consequences for Dr. Chen, however. Dr. Chen has produced some interesting results from this funded research and would like to present the results at an upcoming academic conference. The conference takes place in four months. She has asked you to explain what she must do...

...future naval operations. A suitable distribution of tasks among the members of a team is a crucial issue in order to prevent high and low workload levels. In this paper, we propose a rule-based expert system, the Task Distribution Expert System (TDES), which assists team leaders to manage mental workload in a team by suggesting appropriate task assignments. The TDES emulates the behavior of a team leader deciding which member of the team should perform a task and how. The system handles mental workload as an uncertain fuzzy concept comprising three fuzzy variables that represent the way mental workload affects performance. Automation issues and different recommendations for effective workload management in teams are analyzed and incorporated. A prototype demonstrates the system. 1. Introduction Naval Command and Control (C2) systems support organizations formed by a number of people cooperating on a multitude of tasks simultaneously to achieve overall goals. Future naval C2 systems are characterized by less people, more information available, shorter decision cycles and more complex and varied tasks [1]. The nature and number of those tasks can lead an operator, a team, and finally an organization to low and high mental workload situations. These inappropriate mental workload conditions threaten the performance of future naval operations. Traditionally, workload has been addressed at the task level [2]. This is based on the fact that if a...

...Mini Conference due asap For this second mini-conference assignment, you should read the sample labs below. As in the first mini-conference, these were created by "imaginary" students for you to practice critiquing, and they have deliberate errors in them (therefore, you need to actively look for them, just as peer reviews in the real science world do). You will submit your critiques to me in the assignments area. After you've had the practice doing this and getting my feedback, for the third mini-conference, you and your classmates will be critiquing each others' Phase V lab work that you'll post in the forum. Then, for the final symposium poster project, you will also critique one another's work. Answer the following questions about the labs you read. Please keep your comments to constructive criticism (in other words, offer feedback, but be polite). For each question, answer "Yes," "No," or "Maybe," and provide detail. Detail doesn't just mean a full sentence like "Yes, enough evidence has been collected". Your answers must make it clear that you have read and thought about the reports. These answers do not need to be long, but remember that you're learning to provide feedback that will help your classmates to improve their work in future labs, so be as detailed as you can. Upload this assignment to the Assignments area of the classroom. 1) Is the step-by-step procedure sufficient to yield the necessary evidence needed to fully answer the listed research question?
