...migration led to the tremendous increase of big data. Data is expected to grow __ by 2020. To increase the system capacity for the humongous data, cloud services are following scale-out architecture. Scale-out architectures add more CPU, memory and connectivity hence increasing the efficiency. This practice is very expensive and in the longer run will undermine the cost effectiveness of the future data centers. However, with data increasing tremendously the computing efficiency related to data is not increasing at the same pace. Today big data analytics professionals agree that with such rapid data growth the Moore’s law almost came to an end. Cloud data centers need an optimal computing, memory and storage architecture that can efficiently scale with the data growth and application computing demands. Most big companies offer storage products that are very expensive and old. The scale flux came up with a very unique product that can enhance the computing efficiency in the scale out architectures. ScaleFlux’s Converged Cloud Subsystem (CCS) is tightly unified software and flash-based hardware subsystem solution that easily and cost-effectively integrates into Big Data, scale-out servers. CCS collapses the traditional storage-memory-processor hierarchy that bottlenecks data movement and processing performance by enabling high density, commodity flash to be used as an extension to memory. CCS will be deployed throughout the entire data center infrastructure and significant boost application...

...topics that won’t be going away anytime soon.” (Schulz, 2015) Renewable energy, recycled products and storing data are ways that a business can reduce its carbon footprint The question that needs to be asked is a business green washing their data or products to make it seem like they are environmental friendly. Carbon Footprint In week four my team and I did research and had a discussion over a video we watched on the importance of measuring enterprise impact. “Green washing is a form of marketing spin in which green PR or green marketing is deceptively used to promote the perception that an organization's aims and policies are environmentally friendly. Whether it is to increase profits or gain political support, greenwashing may be used to manipulate popular opinion to support otherwise questionable aims.” (Grant, 2013) The first conclusions we came to was none of us knew that data usage could be bad for the environment and that many companies can claim they use less data. Any company can manipulate a data report or product packaging to meet the standards that are needed to increase profit or gain investors. “The same survey found that “80 percent [of consumers] would choose a product if its packaging featured specific data detailing, for instance, how much plastic was saved over an earlier version” (emphasis ours). That’s right, having specific environmental data...

...Analysis: Samsung Electronics Memory chips were further classified into DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), SRAM (Static RAM), and Flash memory. Flash memory, which was the hot-growth area, was used heavily in digital cameras and mobile phones. While DRAMs lost data when power was turned off, Flash memory could continue to store data in the absence of a power source. Considering the fact above, the flash memory market in the future will be very attractive. Along with the technology development there will be so many electronic devices using flash memory. Samsung started to create the advantage in Flash memory that it enjoyed in DRAM. Started in 1999, Samsung was seeking to move some of its production capacity from DRAMs to flash memory. Nowadays, people are always looking handy electronics device with multifunction ability and able to store huge data. Therefore, if Samsung makes investment in Flash memory technology, then it would be their advantage in the future. Foundry companies, whose sole business is manufacturing, have recently come to the fore, providing attractive outsourcing options. In addition to foundries, the ranks of increasingly specialized designers and chip testers are starting to swell. Chip companies are emerging leaner and more efficient. Four main product categories: Memory: Memory chips serve as temporary storehouses of data and pass information to and from computer devices' brains. Companies: Toshiba, Samsung and NEC Microprocessors: Intel's domination...

...FINA - 010 Intel: Managing Working Capital Introduction op y In early 2004, Intel was the undisputed leader in the microprocessor industry with about 90% market share. Since 1968 when it was founded, Intel had launched many groundbreaking products. By 2004, it had 450 products and services ranging from the ubiquitous PC microprocessors like Pentium, the 64-bit high-end Itanium 2 to mobile computing chipsets such as Centrino. Intel ended 2002 with revenues of $ 26.7 billion. Many analysts believed Intel’s success was as much about technology as about management. They attributed the success of Intel to its unbroken leadership chain. As one great leader retired, another took over. While Intel was well known for innovation, it had also attempted to be a disciplined company that maximized operational efficiency. Intel realized that as competition intensified, working capital management would become increasingly important.

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND The terms less-than-lethal, less lethal, and non-lethal are frequently and inappropriately used interchangeably. Almost anything can become lethal if used improperly or if circumstances are extremely unlucky; weapons that are considered to be of Non-Lethal force only decrease the odds of deadly injury. The court addresses the use of less lethal force in the “objective reasonableness standard,” where questions regarding excessive use of force are to be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer coping with a tense, fast-evolving situation. (Graham, Conner, 2009) This revised standard alleviates some of the “Monday morning quarterbacking” that would otherwise result and respects that officers possess sound judgment skills. (Graham, Conner, 2009) In some arrest situations and other law enforcement activities, the use of force may be required to protect the safety of the officer or the public. Occasionally, the threat to an officer or the public justifies the use of deadly force an amount of force that is likely to cause either serious bodily injury or death to another person. (Graham, Conner, 2009) When use of force is required, but deadly force may not be appropriate, law enforcement officers may employ less-lethal weapons to gain control of a subject. Less-lethal weapons are designed to induce a subject to submit or to comply with directions. These weapons give law enforcement officers the ability to protect the safety of...

...with Safe Medication Preparation and Administration Marie Shelly Capstone Course Increasing Nursing Compliance with Safe Medication Preparation and Administration The importance of safe medication preparation and administration in healthcare settings is being increasingly recognized. There have been numerous publications describing the transmission of bloodborne pathogens, viruses, and bacteria related to unsafe injection practices. The current field of nursing requires concerned parties to exercise a critical appraisal of research findings, and, establish a synthesis of contextual and empirical evidence that is relevant. However, practitioners have not established better alternatives regarding their practice. In addition, the essential evidence-based methods and critical skills in thinking are still lacking; yet they are ideal for the maximization of the cost-effectiveness and quality of health care (Camiletti, & Huffman, 1998). The Center for Disease Control reported that between 1998 and 2008 a total of 33 outbreaks of patient to patient transmission of HBV or HCV due to breaches of infection control by health care personal (http://www.cdc.gov/injectionsafety/CDCsRole.html1). More than 60,000 patients were at risk and 448 patients acquired with HBV or HCV. The disease transmission was primarily from lapses in aseptic technique, the reuse of syringes and contamination of medications that were multi-dose vials. In 2001(Luby, 2001) The World Health Organization reported...

...pan-tilt head has three control centers that allow for different functions of movement including: side to side rolling motion, up and down vertical tilt, and side to side panning motion. This format allows for precise positioning of the camera from each control. The other tripod style consists of a ball-head platform. Only one control mechanism allows for movement in all directions and to pan (Trusty). The use of a tripod, directly relating to landscape photography, remains an essential piece of equipment for low-light photography and when maximizing depth of field (Heilman). The use of a tripod exclusively offers beneficial results in the overall appeal of the image. One, often overlooked, piece of equipment is the memory card. When choosing a memory card the first piece of information to consider relates to the brand and style of the camera that will use the memory card. According to Anna Weinstein, the choice of memory card affects the rate in which the camera can receive photos. If the memory card does not have a high enough memory the camera will not record photos at a speed that landscape photography may require. In addition, the camera setting that the photographer chooses to use will dictate what level of memory will benefit the photographer most. Shooting in the format RAW requires more space, as the image received gets recorded exactly how the photographer saw it in the view finder. In JPEG, the system in which the camera records data goes to the memory card after processing...

...the room is displayed on the two 7-segments. Individual Counting is simply a measurement of the individual traffic entering and exiting offices, malls, sports, venues, rooms etc. Counting the number of individuals helps to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of employees, floor area of an organization, and even the monitoring of the people inside. Individual counting is not limited to the entry or exit point of an establishment but has a wide range of applications that provide information to management on the volume and flow of people throughout a location. A common method for counting the visitors involves sharing human auditors to manually tally the number of individuals who pass by a certain location. But human-based data collection comes at great expense. Our project aims to automate the counting of individuals with the use of a detector called Light-Dependent Resistor which makes it more reliable and efficient. The use of human auditors is redirected to other functions which makes a more productive system. Another feature of this project is its automatic adjustment of the system’s volume according to the number of people inside the room. To be able to understand more about the project below are some notes and explanation of how each equipment will be used to contribute to the success of this project. For this project, the Laser will be used as a transmitter, and the Light-Dependent Resistor will be used as the...
