...Determining Databases and Data Communications Scenario 1 What are the typical fields needed to track data for booth components, equipment, and shipments? Booth Components – Names of components, Serial numbers of equipment and manufacture information, Approximately how long does it take to set up, Where it is being shipped from and where it is being shipped to and what type of shipment is being used and price of equipment. Also what is the weight and size of components being delivered and scheduled time of delivery. Equipment – Equipment would have the same fields as booth components except need tracking system to now where is equipment is located and in what order each piece of equipment will be showcased. Shipments – Shippers name, address, and contact information, shipment warranty information, scheduled delivery and pickup times. Something that is contained on our shipment boxes is how many pieces are being shipped and how to handle equipment because some electronic equipment needs to be handled with care. Example of two relationships that need to be tracked. The first relationship that needs to be tracked is between the shippers and equipment being shipped. Marketing assistant needs to keep track of shipping information to determine when shipment will arrive and to coordinate movement of equipment. The second relationship that needs to be tracked is between personnel that supervised the set up and breakdown and booth components. In order to account for booth components...

...Scope management is so challenging with IT projects because often the client doesn’t know exactly what they want, how expensive and time consuming what they want really is, and how far reaching the effects of seemingly simple modifications and enhancements can be. When a client initially proposes a project, it is quite likely that all they really know is that there is a problem or shortcoming of the current system, but not how complex the solution must be. If this ignorance is met by a project team that has not worked on similar projects in the past, it is very easy for the two parties to come to an agreement of the project scope that is inaccurate. Only an experienced project manager would be able to explain the complexity of the proposal and be able to properly define a realistic project scope. Since IT projects often require a custom solution that has not been implemented before, it is easy for a client to underestimate what is actually required. Often the client will be a business manager who is not deeply familiar with what is required to create custom software solutions and so they may have a tendency to underestimate the resource requirements and attempt to haggle with the project manager until the scope is too narrow in their mind but still too broad to the project manager. In this case, the deliverables will probably be lose-lose for both since neither really got or produced what was appropriate given the initial problem or shortcoming of the system. Even...

...Determining Databases and Data Communications University of Phoenix BIS 320 Determining Databases and Data Communications Databases are a “self-describing collection of integrated records” (Kroenke 2014 p 108). The purpose of a database is to “help people keep track of things” (Kroenke 2014 p 107). A few terms that are used in reference to databases are: bytes, columns, fields, rows, records and tables (Kroenke p 108). Bytes are grouped into columns; which are also known as fields and columns or fields in turn are grouped into rows; which are called records (Kroenke p 108). Lastly, a group of similar rows or records are called a table or a file (Kroenke p 108). In scenario one, the information that would be tracked would be the data about booth components, equipment, shippers, and shipment. There are three different relationships: one to one, one to many and many to many. A one to one relationship is not common because most information related in this way would be in one table (Microsoft SQL server). The one to many relationship is the most common type of relationship. “Make a one to many relationship if only one of the related columns is a primary key or has a unique constraint” (Microsoft SQL server). The many to many relationships can have many matching rows. The two relationships that would be used would be the many to many relationships and the one to many relationships. Since we are tracking shipments and shippers, this might overlap because one shipper might...

...Determining Databases and Data Communications Laura Dowell BIS/320 March 18, 2013 Martin Mueller Determining Databases and Data Communications A manager in today’s business environment must have the skills and knowledge to play a role in a variety of departments. Even if he or she is not an expert in the information technology field, a basic understanding of the tools and terminology is a must-have. This understanding can be useful in clearing out some of the options which are obviously untenable and narrow decisions to a limited number of viable options. The scenarios below demonstrate how a basic knowledge of software application and network design can simplify decisions that would perplex many individuals. SCENARIO 1 In the first scenario a marketing assistant for a consumer electronics company is responsible for managing the displays used at industry trade shows. This person must identify the necessary components and equipment and make sure they get shipped to the trade show in a timely manner. Once the shipment arrives at the trade show, the assistant is responsible for verifying the condition of each item and overseeing the set-up and functionality of the display. At the conclusion of the trade show, the assistant makes sure that each piece ships back to the company and is put back into stock at the warehouse in the same condition as when it originally left. This assistant is also in charge of following up on any problems resulting from shipping damage. There...

...Determining Density Purpose: To determine density using measurements of mass and volume. Hypothesis: I think that from least dense to most dense it will be water, syrup, ketchup and then sand. The reason I think this is because in all of our viscosity experiments water was the least viscous and when we did the ketchup experiments it was thick, but not thick as molasses. Finally, I think sand would be the densest because it is a solid. I am not exactly sure how to determine the density of an object, but I think it is going to have something to do with volume and how heavy it is. Apparatus Materials: • Triple beam balance • 200 ml ketchup • 200 ml syrup • 200 ml molasses • 200 ml sand • 200 ml water • 200 ml beaker Procedure: 1. Measure the mass of the empty beaker. 2. Pour 50 ml of your substance into the beaker. 3. Measure the mass of the beaker and substance. 4. Subtract the mass of the beaker from the mass of the substance and beaker. 5. Repeat steps 2-4 three more times, adding 50 ml each time. 6. Record results in chart. 7. Repeat with other substances. Observations: Water |Volume |Mass of beaker |Mass or beaker and |Mass of the substance |Ratio of mass to volume | |(ml) | |substance |only | | |50 |108.8 |158.6 ...

...Ten Ways to Determine Information Credibility on the Internet As the information age further expands and information is readily available in many forms instantaneously there is a huge need to validate the credibility of this information. The Internet is a place of many ideas. There are countless blogs, forums, and informational sites that contain data that is not guaranteed to be correct. There are no stipulations involved in putting information in the cloud. Anyone with the resources to do so can publish information. It is virtually impossible to authenticate and police this arena. Although there are groups that monitor sites that are deemed to be harmless to minors and others, these groups don’t have the ability to change the data, only make recommendations or provide filtering tools to protect against the innocent being exposed to it. There are currently no laws that govern what is acceptable for the web. Conversely, even if laws in our country were enacted, these laws would not stop the culprits from moving these operations to another country and continuing with business as usual. How can we identify when issues with information could exist? Why do we need to evaluate these things? The first major factor is lack of any formal structure. Popular sites like Wikipedia provide quick references to a vast number of topics. This site however usually has no reference to where the data came from. There are also no indications about what is acceptable as far as structure...

...Running Head: DETERMINING WHO AND WHY Determining Who and Way Human Capital Management – HRM 531 January 24, 2012 Instructor: Bob Hanks Abstract The recruitment and selection process is one of the main functions of Human Resource Management. It is critical to the achievement of organizational and strategic goals. At some point, every organization will need to hire new employees. Selecting the wrong person could be a costly mistake when considering the amount of money involved in recruiting and training new employees. According to (Wienclaw, 2010), “the tools used to select new employees need to be demonstrably related to the job and must help the organization select those employees with the appropriate knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics necessary for job success” (p. 1). To identify the recruitment and selection methods at Wal-Mart, a job description for a Senior Manager in Marketing-Promotions was selected from their website. This particular job description was selected because it includes position details, job duties, performance standards and job factors. In this paper, a concept map and associated discussion summarize the steps of the recruiting and selection...

...Assignment 3.1: Determining Causes and Effects – Draft Version Name: Melvin G. Abramson Instructor: Shannon O’Stricker ENG-115 – English Composition Date: February 25th, 2013 Many automotive manufacturers favor importing the majority of their materials from international markets rather than via the local materials. The reason in the wake of this decision is that manufacturers are partial by some causes to exploit foreign importation which of course has some effects. The cause and effect characteristic establishes the action one takes in embarking on an issue. There is a reason for doing something which is escorted with some effects that is either optimistic or pessimistic. The pronouncement to import or use local materials is determined by the causes and effects related to it. This work explains the causes and effects of an automotive manufacturer importing from the international markets. It effects the decision of people and the economy. [pic] The demand to produce high quality and exceptional automotive materials is the major cause for importing from foreign markets. With lofty competition in the automotive industry, manufacturers exercise all means to guarantee that they fabricate the unsurpassed automotive products in the market. When the local materials will not allow them to produce high quality products, the next alternative is importing from international markets where they are readily obtainable (Hinkelman...

...Determining the Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide Lab Purpose The purpose of this lab was to determine the percent composition and empirical formula of magnesium oxide. Hypothesis If a strip of pure magnesium metal reacts with oxygen in the air to create magnesium oxide, then the molecular formula will be MgO. The percent composition for magnesium oxide would be 60.31% magnesium and 39.69% oxygen. Apparatus Refer to attached sheet Procedure Refer to McGraw-Hill Ryerson Chemistry 11, page 212-213. 4. The mass of the empty crucible and lid was recorded. The strip of cleaned magnesium was added to the crucible. The mass of the crucible, lid and magnesium was recorded. 10. The substance remained in the crucible, above the flame for an extra five minutes on high heat, after the water had evaporated completely. Results Mass of clean, empty crucible and lid | 26.73g | Mass of crucible, lid, and magnesium | 26.87g | Mass of crucible and magnesium oxide | 26.95g | Analysis 1. a) We used 0.14 g of magnesium in the reaction. b) 0.22 g of magnesium oxide was produced. c) 0.08 g of oxygen reacted with the magnesium (0.22 g – 0.14 g = 0.08 g). d) Refer to “Determining the Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide Lab Solutions” sheet e) Element | % | m (g) | M (g/mol) | n (m÷M) | ÷ by | Ratio | Magnesium | 63.63 | 63.63 | 24.31 | 2.617441382 | 2.273125 | 1 | Oxygen | 36.37 | 36.37 | 16.00 | 2.273125 | 2.273125 | 1 | Since the ratio is 1:1,...

The company will need as it grows and technology becomes easier to use for business. Many times a company will buy a software and use that until it needs to be upgraded and it is easier to upgrade the whole system then the software, mostly due to that the new system offers even more than the old one and the updates to the software. Microsoft will be the one to look for in the future of most company’s plans, they with their Customer Relationship Management software and their ability to have payroll they can all sink with each other and outlook which is the most used in most businesses. These systems will allow connectivity between systems which should see the growth in electronic portals and focus business time on information output rather than data inputs. Most organizations will look to recruiting and security, payroll, time collation and benefits when looking for long range planning for updating the HRIS systems.

WHY IS LAKE HURON SO POLLUTED? During the 18th and 19th centuries, industries and individuals often used rivers and lakes as garbage cans. Industrial effluent, raw sewage and animal carcasses would often be dumped into Lake Huron, without much thought of contamination. The major cause of the pollution in Lake Huron seems to be nonpoint source pollution. Nonpoint source pollution is another term for polluted runoff (Water Pollution in the Great Lakes). In the 20th century, this practice of dumping waste into the lake started changing as people became aware of the importance of clean water to their health. As more people and industries moved into the great lakes region, the more the rivers and lakes became polluted. Pollutants enter the great lakes in many different ways, but the entryways of pollutants are point source, nonpoint source,...

...Determining Levels of Prevention Brandie Moulton HSM/210 August 2, 2015 Milicent Driver Scenario 1 The level of prevention used is scenario one is tertiary. Tertiary prevention involves attempts to minimize the course of a problem after it has already happening and causing harm. I do think this prevention strategy used in this situation is effective. The agency has taken precautionary steps to install a panic button to call for the police in a potentially violent situation such as this. I think that possibly having the added protection of a security officer nearby could also be a step in providing even safer services. This would be an additional comfort for the staff at the agency and the clients. The presence of a security officer may not have a warming effect on staff and clients but it could deter some of the perpetrators who are violent. Safety and feeling safe are one of the most important things in a person’s life. I also agree with the woman being transported to a battered women’s shelter, where she will receive classes in self-esteem, parenting, job training and placement to get stabilized and back on her feet independently Scenario 2 Replace the level one heading with the words for your heading.
