...Gender Parity Ephraim Wieder Touro College Prior to the 1960’s, the history of women had been one of submission. Marriages were prearranged, women were expected to just raise children, and they were not allowed to work outside of the house. Women’s rights and abilities, such as being a part of the workforce and societal duties were restrained. Since then, women have progressed to the extent that they have become CEOs, CFOs and hold other important positions in companies. They have become Senators, Governors and hold prominent political positions. They can fight in combat units in the army, and they make up a big part of the workforce. In many cases, these jobs are being accomplished while raising a family. However, despite this progression,...

...United States of America has always been on the forefront in the fight for gender parity,but it beats logic that despite of being an instrument for change no woman has made it to ovalhouse. Among the many people who keep a keen eye on the United States of America developments in the fight for woman right,i still can't seem to understand the reason why they have not been able demonstrate this gender parity in their on backyard. After a thorough annalysis of various presidential races in the United States of America i have come to some findings as to why the states has never had a female president. Until 1920 the United States of America did not allow the women folk to vote. This has had a very negative effect on the voting behaviour of the women in United States , since it is soo difficult to get such women to vote when the historical society has made it...

A story of an average now middle class family, with a full time mother, and a father that works two jobs, goes haywire. Walter discovers that he can cook meth and make more money in a short time than he could in a full career as a chemistry teacher. Setting a dollar amount on his new career choice, telling himself he will quit when he reaches that amount. Yet every time he has a new reason to continue. All the while keeping his new life hidden from his family, essentially living a double life. It can be said that Breaking bad accurately portrayed today’s society in regards to families suffering from the economic decline, health care system, money laundering, greed and self-destruction from power. Success is sometimes measured in different ways and Mr. White’s story is an example of this fact. He started out as a successful scientist and business man with a promising future. He was persuaded to believe that the company he owned with is partner was failing and he decided to sell his portion to get out only to find that he would struggle to replace his former income.

...Audience Analysis COM 285 Audience Analysis Audience analysis is “the process of examining information about the listeners whom you expect to hear your speech” (Audience Analysis, para 1.). In this paper, I will describe a situation in which I am presenting quarterly sales information to a group of stakeholders, salespeople, managers and customers, at an in-person meeting. I will also discuss some of the audience characteristics that I must consider, along with finding the appropriate communication channels to use. I will also discuss some factors to consider when given the diversity of the group, and how to ensure that my message that I will be giving is effective. According to Locker and Keinzler (2008), the first step in analyzing an audience is to determine who the audience is. Identifying the audience and their motivations will assist you in learning how to reach them, and what messages to use to accomplish the task (Locker & Keinzler, 2008). Audience Characteristics Determine my Audience. The first step in developing my presentation, I will have to determine who my audience is. This is to ensure that I deliver an effective and clear presentation, with the focus on who is receiving the message. I am already aware that the audience consists of stakeholders, managers, salespeople, and customers. Therefore, given the audience, I can presume that I will be expecting a diverse group of people attending my presentation. Some of the...

...Task Name: Phase 4 Individual Project Deliverable Length: 4 Parts: See Assignment Details Details: Weekly tasks or assignments (Individual or Group Projects) will be due by Monday and late submissions will be assigned a late penalty in accordance with the late penalty policy found in the syllabus. NOTE: All submission posting times are based on midnight Central Time. Task Background: This assignment involves solving problems by using various discrete techniques to model the problems at hand. Quite often, these models form the foundations for writing computer programming code that automate the tasks. To carry out these tasks effectively, a working knowledge of sets, relations, graphs, finite automata structures and Grammars is necessary. Part I: Set Theory Look up a roulette wheel diagram. The following sets are defined: A = the set of red numbers B = the set of black numbers C = the set of green numbers D = the set of even numbers E = the set of odd numbers F = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12} From these, determine each of the following: A∪B A∩D B∩C C∪E B∩F E∩F Part II: Relations, Functions, and Sequences The implementation of the program that runs the game involves testing. One of the necessary tests is to see if the simulated spins are random. Create an n-ary relation, in table form, that depicts possible results of 10 trials of the game. Include the following results of the game: Number Color Odd or even (note: 0 and 00 are considered neither...

...GRE MATH FORMULAE Mixtures first.... 1. when you mix different quantities (say n1 and n2) of A and B, with different strengths or values v1 and v2 then their mean value vm after mixing will be: Vm*(n1 + n2) = (v1.n1 + v2.n2) you can use this to find the final price of say two types of rice being mixed or final strength of acids of different concentration being mixed etc.... the ratio in which they have to be mixed in order to get a mean value of vm can be given as: n1/n2 = (v2 - vm)/(vm - v1) When three different ingredients are mixed then the ratio in which they have to be mixed in order to get a final strength of vm is: n1 : n2 : n3 = (v2 - vm)(v3 - vm) : (vm - v1)(v3 - vm) : (vm - v2)(vm - v1) 2. If from a vessel containing M units of mixtures of A & B, x units of the mixture is taken out & replaced by an equal amount of B only .And If this process of taking out & replacement by B is repeated n times , then after n operations, Amount of A left/ Amount of A originally present = (1-x/M)^n 3. If the vessel contains M units of A only and from this x units of A is taken out and replaced by x units of B. if this process is repeated n times, then: Amount of A left = M [(1 - x/M)^n] This formula can be applied to problem involving dilution of milk with water, etc...

...Predicate Logic Example: All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. ··· Socrates is mortal. Note: We need logic laws that work for statements involving quantities like “some” and “all”. In English, the predicate is the part of the sentence that tells you something about the subject. 1 More on predicates Example: Nate is a student at UT. What is the subject? What is the predicate? Example: We can form two different predicates. Let P(x) be “x is a student at UT”. Let Q(x, y) be “x is a student at y”. Definition: A predicate is a property that a variable or a finite collection of variables can have. A predicate becomes a proposition when specific values are assigned to the variables. P(x1, x2, ..., xn) is called a predicate of n variables or n arguments. Example: She lives in the city. P(x,y): x lives in y. P(Mary, Austin) is a proposition: Mary lives in Austin. Example: Predicates are often used in if statements and loop conditions. if(x > 100) then y:= x ∗ x predicate T(x): x > 100 2 Domains and Truth Sets Definition: The domain or universe or universe of discourse for a predicate variable is the set of values that may be assigned to the variable. Definition: If P(x) is a predicate and x has domain U, the truth set of P(x) is the set of all elements t of U such that P(t) is true, ie {t ∈ U |P (t) is true} Example: U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} P(x): “x is even”. The truth set is: {2, 4, 6, 8, 10} 3 The Universal Quantifier: ∀ Turn predicates into propositions by assigning...

Introduction: The Need for Error Detection In communication systems, data transmitted over a channel will be exposed to transmission impairments. The most significant impairments are attenuation, delay distortion and noise. These impairments cause the received signal to be different than the transmitted signal which is not a desired situation. An error detection technique allows the receiver to determine if the received data is corrupted or not. 1.1 Error detection process To enable detection of errors, an error detection technique appends (n - k) extra bits to k data bits to be transmitted, creating an n bit frame. Appended bits are called redundant bits because they do not change the data bits and discarded by the receiver as soon as the integrity of the data bits is determined. Redundant bits (also called the checksum) are computed...

...Disks 2. When would we use RAID? It’s a balanced way to improve overall storage performance. 3. Define the following types of RAID a. RAID 0: Provides data striping but it lacks both fault tolerance and redundancy to improve performance as a result if one drive fails then all data in the array is lost. b. RAID 1: Provides disk mirroring and duplexing so level one provides twice the read transaction rate of single disks and the same write transaction rate as a single disk. c. RAID 5: Uses block-level striping with parity data distributed across all member disks. Also RAID 5 has achieved popularity because of its low cost of redundancy. d. RAID 6: Extends RAID 5 by adding an additional parity block thus it uses block-level striping with two parity blocks distributed across all member disks. RAID 6 does not have a performance penalty for read operations but it does have a performance penalty on write operations because of the overhead associated with parity calculations and it’s also no less space efficient then RAID 5. 4. Why is RAID 0 of any use if it offers no redundancy? Because it provides data striping even though it lacks both fault tolerance and redundancy. 5. Why do you think that RAID 1 can be the most expensive? You get two copies of everything after you have a hard drive fail on you with all of the data completely lost you’ll understand that spending fifty dollars on another drive so you can have duplicate data is dirt cheap. If you are really paranoid this is...
