...creation of a number of Java programs. Make sure that you save any code you write. Also make sure you save any results or notes that you observe about your work. Note that you are unlikely to complete this worksheet in just one laboratory session. 2 Preliminaries Create a project in Eclipse called CS1002_Lab5 and create a corresponding class (say CS1002_Lab5). Try and organise your work (from the following exercises) into separate methods as we did in the previous worksheet. 3 Strings Copy the following code into your project and run the program. public static void main(String args[]) { double number = 1.0/3.0; System.out.println(number); DecimalFormat number_format = new DecimalFormat("#.##"); String formatted_string = number_format.format(number); System.out.println(formatted_string); } Is it showing you an error? Can you fix it? The DecimalFormat class enables us to format numbers (and other classes) in a variety of ways. In the above example we are formatting the number to two decimal places. Read up on this class in the JavaDocs as we will need it later. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/format/decimalFormat.html To complete the following exercise you will also need a good understanding of the String class: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/data/strings.html...

...Because of this it’s becoming the standard type of ROM used in motherboards Flash Memory is a type of constantly-powered non-volatile memory that can be erased and reprogrammed in units of memory called blocks RAM (Random Access Memory) It allows the computer to read data quickly and efficiently to be able to run applications efficiently DRAM (Dynamic RAM) It needs to be refreshed thousands of times per second which makes it slow SRAM (Static RAM) does not need to be refreshed, which is what makes it faster than DRAM. SDRAM (Synchronous RAM) is an old and slow type of Random Access Memory. It used to ship with old Pentium systems and is starting to die out DDR SDRAM (Double data rate synchronous RAM) It’s just like SDRAM except that is has higher bandwidth, meaning greater speed. DDR2-SDRAM (Double Data Rate Revision 2 Synchronous Dynamic RAM) it’s similar to original DDR memory, but it comes with an external data bus in the memory modules. This doubles the memory’s the clock rate, but at twice the latency. Therefore, DDR2 will operate at twice the speed of DDR...

This is the infamous pain scale and while they can be a great aid in communicating pain to your doctor, they don’t necessarily work for everyone. Allow me to explain. If you go in to see your doctor with a random migraine or sore throat, they may ask you to rate your pain on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being unbearable or maybe just pick with emoji best fits how you feel.

...Slavery was not just one of the saddest parts of the US history, but the ugliest. In 1619 the world came to laziness and slavery took place. What really pushed the world into the devastating result of slavery? As if the world had a scarcity of choices? But had the heart to open up to random wars over land and stupidity? And discrimination? Well the terrifying history of the US led to just about all world Hatred and struggle. As well on in Life, people adapt to their surroundings, and sure enough some people are used to the population of African Americans and feel as if they are just the same. Although slavery was not the greatest time in world history, it did help to shape the present today. Slavery predominantly took place in the Southern America, the southern states to be exact. The dependence on slaves came mostly from the white Americans. They looked at slaves as their servants. "Slave" meaning, by definition, "a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them," we're the servants to those who bought them. They were perceived as dirt, looked down upon by white people. As if they were blank and had no exemplary title to the world. What regions? As slavery patiently escalated to higher and higher levels, slave owners gradually excepted the fact that they needed a new way of trade. They decided to create the triangular trade. The triangular trade consisted of a trade route between Africa(where they retrieve...

...success in life. My first year having Dr. Beach was my sophomore year geometry class. I was so use to flying by all my classes with hardly looking into my notes and homework when Dr. Beaches class started to demand more from us. It started with more homework, a lot of random projects and of course our financial/intelligent conversations. There are many good sides to his class. Some things would be the lessons you learn. He teaches us that we are responsible for our actions and he doesn’t fail us, we only fail ourselves. We basically write out our own grades by deciding to do the homework, extra credit, study for quizzes/tests and taking good notes. Taking responsibility is a HUGE theme in our algebra 2 class this year especially. I feel like everything in Dr. Beach’s class has had a separate meaning then just algebra 2 or geometry. All the home work we receive is just to prepare us for the amount of work in college and our future jobs. The quizzes and tests are preparing us for the responsibilities of using our skills and abilities then turning them into something greater. The lessons are to help us comprehend and understand complex and even basic things. Some negative sides to Dr. Beach’s methods would be the feeling that algebra 2 is our only class and keeping up with homework, projects, quizzes and tests can be difficult with 4-5 other courses constantly doing the same. Many times I feel like I must decide between doing my ...

...P5 Formally define research population . Identify and evaluate the merits of alternative sampling frames. Suggest most appropriate one and justify your selection. Research population is the target population on which a study or research is conducted through various different methods inorder to reach a conclusion from the data generated. It is for the benefit of the population directly or indirectly. But, due to very large size of research population, it is not feasible to test all the individuals of the population since it will take too much time and will be expensive as well. So the researchers take few individuals from the research population ( a subset of the set of target population) using sampling techniques. These techniques helps to take out sample as per the requirements of the type of research that is to be conducted. A research population is also known as a well-defined collection of individuals or objects known to have similar characteristics. All individuals or objects within a certain population usually have a common, binding characteristic or trait. Usually, the description of the population and the common binding characteristic of its members are the same. "Government officials" is a well-defined group of individuals which can be considered as a population and all the members of this population are indeed officials of the government. There are various sources from which a sample is created. A set of all these sources is called a Sampling frame from which...

...deterrents for future violations. Predictive Policing is a methodology used by many different organizations, but the basic purpose and goals are essentially the same. In recent years, Information Technology has moved to the forefront in improving this process. When comparing the application of Information Technology (IT) to optimize Police Department performance in crime to just random street patrols, there are a couple of similarities between the two. One commonality would be simply police presence. Just the presence of law enforcement in the community would greatly help in crime prevention. No form of technology is really needed. The police department’s experience and knowledge of crimes committed in the past is enough. When police randomly show up in areas at different times and durations, without having to be called, citizens feel that the department really cares about their safety. It’s not just a job or a paycheck. This could increase community cooperation, which is really non-existent in the inner cities. The application of Information Technology (IT) to optimize police performance and random police patrols, both present the negative effect of human error. Accurate...

That the smallest security glitch can be the greatest weapon of inmates in could cost staff in many ways than one. The doc policy and protocols they used were not as helpful, and not as useful; they could have been in the situation they faced. That they lack the knowledge they needed to stop the situation from escalating the way that it did. In this paper, the reader will learn about the recommendation, which the staff should have used. That would have benefited everyone within the Morey unit hostage situation like Prisoner also Yard Security, Kitchen safety measures also actions, Guard Tower defenses, measures, Defensive strategy, practices, Communications, personal, also Division reaction, Inter-Agency strategic Intel collecting and Negotiation and conclusion. These methods as such would give knowledge of how the situation would not have gone as far as it did and how quickly it would have resolved or prevented the matter from even happening. The Morey unit case was an eye opening experience. Because of that after the situation had taken place, there were so many errors, which occurred, causing the two inmates to have the upper hand on the correction guards in the Morey unit. Because of that opened the floodgates of errors with the policies and staff in which discovered that prisoners only obtain searching, when they left their...

...Half-life, a high target to non-target activity ratio i.e. works mostly at the target organ. and particle emission. Radioisotopes are useful as diagnostic tools because a gamma camera can be used to detect how much of the isotope is affected in order to give an indication of how healthy an organ is and to detect growth of tumours. They can be used to label compounds that can then and traced to show functional information. http://www.scribd.com/doc/56167762/Encyclopedia-of-Medical-Devices-and-Instrumentation-Vol-6#scribd When a patient is inhaling or injected with a radiopharmaceutical the smallest possible amount should be used, but enough to produce a high quality image so that any issues with the patient are not missed out. Ionising radiation includes charged particles, photons, and other products of natural and induced radiation. Different radioactive isotopes have different half-lives. For example, the half-life of carbon-14 is 5,715 years, but the half-life of francium-223 is just 20 minutes. Radioactive decay is a complete random process where nuclei disintegrate. This causes changes to the atom depending on the type of radiation emitted. The half life needs to be short to reduce that amount of damaging effects on the patient. The half life has to be long enough to allow the patient to be tested and diagnosed. http://www.nucmedtutorials.com/dwradiopharm/rad2.html The photon yield (Quantum yield) is the number of times a specific event occurs per photon which is absorbed...
