...Dimensional Model Hands-On-Project David A. McCormack DBM 460 / Enterprise Database Management Systems December 2, 2011 Professor Kurt Jost Dimensional Model Hands-On-Project Riordan Manufacturing in a global plastic manufacturer that specializes in plastic containers, custom plastic parts, and plastic fan parts. The company has many manufacturing location in the United States and one location in China. The company is a subsidiary of Riordan Industries, a fortune 1000 enterprise (Apollo Group, Inc., 2006). Riordan Manufacturing is looking to increase their market presence by offering a better product based upon their product sales and past and present marketing and sales plans. However, the data needed is in several different databases, paper files and microfiche. A data warehouse would solve the issue of having the information disbursed in many locations and allow the company to quickly analyze the information for better decision making. To pull the information needed for proper analysis a few things must take place. The first item to tackle would be to complete a enterprise wide analysis of the data requirements. This would include having the data that are in paper files and microfiche integrated into the current operational source systems. Once completed a data warehouse will need to be constructed to that will extract data from the existing databases and consolidate the data in one location. The data warehouse architecture that should be used in situation would be...

...Week 1 Wireless Concepts Report DeVry University NETW360: Wireless Technologies and Services Hands on Lab Wireless Concepts Submitted to: Professor: Date: 1/24/2014 Configuring a Wireless Access Point In this Project we were assigned to configure an access point and test the results. Pictured in the figure below is one of the first steps in regards to setup. We chose an easy router name of Group 4 NETW360 to make things easy. Following this logic we chose an automatic configuration Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). What DHCP does is that it provides network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses, to DHCP clients automatically versus manually. Figure - 1 Wireless Setup The next step after the basic setup was to configure the wireless setting for our access point. We had to choose a Service Set Identifier (SSID) name which essentially is the public name of our wireless network. In keeping things easy we chose Group4 NETW360. The wireless channel was left on auto due to most wireless end devices will auto-detect and adjust their channel numbers to match that of the router. Also we didn’t want to hide the SSID so we decided to broadcast is by enabling the option, this allows devices to easily find our particular network. Figure - 2 Network Connection In order for us to statically configure the router the necessary information was found by accessing the network connection. Below in the figure are the results.

Storage capacity on a computer is measured in bytes. A byte is composed of 8 bits and can store one character. Computers are capable of storing many characters, and storage is typically determined in megabytes (MB), 1,048,576 bytes, and gigabytes (GB), 1024 MB. * Many companies do not provide device drivers that support Linux. Instead, they rely on the free software development community to develop the appropriate drivers. For this reason, the newer a hardware device is, the less likely it is to be supported. * Linux OSes have a much lower threshold than Microsoft's Windows 7 and Windows 8 and Apples's Mac OS X. So system resources are less of an issue than system compatibility. That means you can run the latest Linux OS without having to buy a more expensive new computer. b.

...manager of any firm. Most new projects take time in developing because of the research analysis required in opening a new addition to the company. The cash flow is a huge factor in making the decision of a project. For instance, capital expenditures require firms to outlay large sums of funds to initialize the project. Second, firms will need to formulate ways of generating and repaying these funds once they are initiate. Third, there must be a good since of timing and critical finance decision to make it all happen. The importance of Capital Budgeting, Cash Flows & New Project Capital budgeting requires that any new projects become infused to save money. This can happen by retaining inventory that would lead to outflow of goods and services. Generally, when a project terminates, the working capital is recovered and there is an inflow of working capital. However, the sunk cost cash flow has already occurred which cannot be undone. Managers need to be aware of the importance of cash flow if a new project is lining up with their business. There is critical analyzing of research information to insure that the cash flow is not affected by the new project. For example, if the project is rejected would the cash flow continue to balance out? Or would the cash flow continue to balance if the project is accepted? These are some of the things that managers would have to critically decide in the creation of a new project. On the other hand, the opportunity cost refers to...

Therefore, the project that company is going to participate in is sensitization and conducting free HIV/AIDS tests and Cancer Screening tests to the population. This project will help to bond the company with the customers and will directly benefit the community. The sensitization will be about informing the community about the two dangerous diseases that are attributed to causing high deaths each year. Therefore, the company will be helping to preserve the health of the customers by showing their concern about the disease and offering free testing services (Lindgreen & Swaen, 2010). The project has strategic goals and objectives. The project's goals include informing the population about the means of dealing and contracting the diseases, informing the people of the importance of regular medical checkups and also making the community aware of their health status.

...similar approaches due to their divergent points of view. People find it hard on the other hand to find their counterparts accountable since of difficulties in interpersonal communication. Another danger gets into the picture as people try hard avoiding situations where they blame other people and as a solution to this they tend to avoid communicating with the affected people. (Garrett, 1967).Problem causes should be pointed out therefore, without any adore and their root causes found out. This though will take time as serious conversations will need to be held in order to make them completely aware of their accountability roles and obligations. When accountability seeks to determine the objective of a given problem, blames ignores and do not undertake to find out the root cause of some problems. Accountability will therefore, undertake to align organizational objectives with some actions such as wanting some people out of the organization due to non accountability issues. Accountability will seek avoid countermeasure decisions that blames will encourage. (Garrett, 1967). Accountability will seek to find out the actual facts through understanding of the problem at hand. It also tends to disregard the reported or second hand information and data that blame situations would advocate this point accountability will seek to trace the history of the problem at hand to get first hand information and facts that blame cannot reach. Accountability will also seek to fit the...

...PBL Reflections Project-Based Learning is an amazing, innovative way to enhance a child’s learning potential through developmentally appropriate activities, lessons and projects. It is a well known fact that people have a greater tendency to learn more by doing, not just seeing or hearing. Children that are given the opportunity to engage in a hands-on lesson will have a greater understanding of the material. Students who understand the meaning of what they are learning retain more of the information and apply the knowledge more skillfully (1). Project-based learning allows children the chance to “learn by doing”. Project-based learning can be tailored to fit the educational needs of any elementary/middle/high school grade level. This type of social constructivism allows for the students to follow the teacher’s guided input while constructing their own ideas through hands-on activities and social interaction with peers. According to Vygotsky, the teacher considers all the traditional questions of instruction (how to organize and conduct learning activities, motivate students, assess learning), but the focus is on the students’ construction of knowledge using social interaction (2). The children can gather ideas, discuss their thoughts and develop new ideas and put their plan into action. They work together to form one cohesive and collaborative product. When I think back to my elementary/middle/high school days, most of my memories are of sitting in a desk trying to stay...

...Case 8-4: Genzyme’s CSR Dilemma: How to Play its HAND 1. In your opinion, which of the three major HAND initiatives: TB, Malaria, or Chagas should Jim Geraghty recommend? Defend you answer by detailing how your choice is better than the other two. I think that Jim Geraghty should recommend the Malaria initiative. The Malaria initiative is the best business decision for Genzyme. There are 250 million Malaria cases every year, compared to that of 16-18 million cases of Chagas and 25 million cases of Tuberculosis. Even though Tuberculosis has more deaths per year at 1.5-2 million and could possibly be the best initiative to recommend, I still believe the Malaria initiative is the best option. Malaria is spread by Anopheles mosquitos and there is still a great need for a cure of Malaria in today’s world. In the case, Genzyme’s goal is to have the most impact possible on a deadly disease, while doing something that is within their capabilities. All three initiatives have a very important medical need, but Genzyme has the molecular knowledge to create a vaccine for Malaria. They have done a lot of research for Chagas also, but they would have to basically start from scratch if they were to go towards the Tuberculosis initiative. By going with the Malaria initiative, they would more than likely partner with Harvard, MMV, and ICGEB, which would be great for the research and development capabilities. Jim Geraghty should recommend the Malaria initiative to Henri Teermer 2. Taking the...
