...Unit 2 Lab The five characteristics of cloud computing as defined by the NIST is as follows, on demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. On demand self-service is defined as a service provided by cloud computing vendors that enables the provision of cloud resources on demand whenever they’re required. Broad network access is defined as a private cloud network operated within a company’s firewall that are available for access from a wide range of devices such as tablets, PC’s, Mac’s and smartphones. These resources are accessible from a wide range of locations that offer online access. Resource pooling is defined as a situation in which providers serve multiple clients, and customers with provisional and scalable services. These services can be adjusted to suit each client’s needs without any changes being apparent to the client or end user. Rapid elasticity is defined as the ability to provide scalable services. Measured service is defined as aspects of cloud service that are controlled and monitored by the cloud provider. Rackspace offers many options for cloud computing. You can build your own account which you would manage or you can get one for a flat fee an account that Rackspace will manage for you. Services offered by Rackspace are cloud servers, cloud backup, cloud files, cloud load balancers, could database, cloud monitoring, cloud block storage, and cloud bandwidth. Rackspace also offers services...

When your lab report is complete, post it in Submitted Assignment files. Part I: Use the animated time progression of speciation to help you write up your lab report. Part II: Write a 1-page lab report using the following scientific method sections: • Purpose • What would happen if a species within a population were to suddenly split in two groups by an earthquake that creates a physical barrier like a canyon? • Introduction • Reproduction is a natural and normal thing in our day to day lives. Animals and humans reproduce offspring, all year round. Separation is usually the furthest thing from our minds. But, mother natural can always turn anyone’s world upside down. For Example, What if a really bad earthquake hit, and caused the ground to split and drift far away from one another? Many species would be isolated from their families and environments. • Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome • A species is defined as a group of organisms that are able to interbreed to produce fertile and viable offspring under natural conditions.

...In his article, “Exploring the 3-D printing opportunity” J.Bird touched on several interesting facts about 3-D printing of which I was not aware, including the fact that 3-D printing has been around since the 1980’s. 3-D printing is not a “new” technology, but rather one that is being explored and exploited more now because of patents that have since expired. There are several ways of printing objects in three dimensions including fusing powdered material such as titanium with a laser, dispensing melted plastic through a nozzle, and photo curing plastic resin. 3-D printing is much more environmentally friendly than traditional manufacturing techniques, because traditional cutting and grinding produces more waste. 3-D printing has exciting applications in the medical field: last year surgeons created a replacement jaw for an 83-year old woman in titanium that took 33 layers to form each 1mm of thickness. 3-D printing makes creating one-off objects much more economically viable since there is no need to create specialized tooling, no need to create molds, and it eliminates hours of machining to take the cast item from the mold stage to the finished product. Since there is no need for specialized tooling, product development times can be reduced from months to just weeks. Products can be developed and designed one day and printed overnight for use the next day. The future seems to be limitless for this technology. 3-D printed clothing could be customized to the individual’s physiology...

...Overview: Lab 2 The purpose of Lab 2 was to examine the role and nature of restriction enzymes as well to take the first steps in producing a recombinant DNA molecule. Plasmids are circular DNA pieces found in bacterial cells. Plasmids are used in genetic engineering to expedite gene cloning and gene expression (through protein production) in bacteria. Through cloning, antibiotic resistance genes have been placed inside of plasmids and the antibiotic resistance genes function as selectable markers – genes that allow scientists to select between bacteria that do and do not have the plasmid. If a bacterium does in fact possess a plasmid that has an antibiotic resistance gene then that particular bacterium will be able to reproduce in an environment with that specific antibiotic present. Bacteria that do not possess a plasmid with an antibiotic resistance gene will not be able to grow. Therefore, antibiotics can be used to pin point bacteria that are resistant and presumably contain a plasmid with the resistance gene from those that are not resistant...

...Unit 6 Lab 6.2 1. What are the available Password Policy options that could be enforced to improve security in a Group Policy? * Enforce password history: * Maximum password age * Minimum password age * Minimum password length * Passwords should always meet complexity requirements 2. How could you se security permissions and user access rights on a home computer using Windows XP Professional or similar that is not a member of the domain? Security permissions and user access can still be managed locally on the computer with local groups and applying the proper permissions to local users on the computer. Local group policies can also be managed. 3. Why is the use of different password policy options available and why is it important to implement complexity and length requirements? There are different policy options to have different options for companies to use, if it were all the same then hackers would know exactly what to look for, in this case it can be vary. It is important implement complexity and length requirements to secure and assure the company that proper passwords are being used to prevent easy hacking access for hackers. 4. Microsoft defines user rights in two types of categories: Logon rights and privileges. Explain the difference of the two from an access control perspective. Log on rights manage and control who can log in to a specific computer. Privileges determine what the user can access one they log in, they go hand and hand. ...

...The proteins are known as histones. The histones act as a scaffold organizing the structure of the DNA; a long string of the nucleotides. The histones are responsible for DNA folding and the overall formation of chromatin. Without the histones presence DNA itself would be extremely long in length, too long in length to fit inside the cell. The histones associate in octomers, 8 histones, to form beads on a string; Beads on a string describes the DNA wrapping around the octomer histone proteins. The term nucleoside describes the segments of DNA wrapped around histones. The Nucleosomes particles comprise of the complementary base pairings of DNA, which are wrapped around the histone proteins. The Nucleosomes are the fundamental repeating unit of a chromatin. It helps to package the large DNA genomes in the nucleus of a cell. It does this with the help of the histones, they in conjunction with one another, help from a tightly coiled structure. The Nucleosomes achieve this structure by compacting to form solenoid fibres. These fibres will fold or coil, to form complex loops, these are further condensed, which will later form...

...ci3.1 BLOCK DIAGRAM Fig 3.1 block diagram of the vibration measurement system The above figure shows the block diagram of the vibration measurement system. The different blocks of the block diagram are the sensor which is used to measure the vibrations. The sensor we are using in this project is MMA8451Q accelerometer, which is able to measure the vibrations. The vibration data need to be measured from the acceleration data of the accelerometer by setting different thresholds. Then the data from the accelerometer need to be transferred to the microcontroller which is used to process the data. The microcontroller which we have selected to do the processing of the data is MKL25Z32VFM4 which is ARM® Cortex™-M0+ processor. This is best suited for the processing of the accelerometer data. There are different types of protocols that can be used to communicate with this controller. It supports SPI, I2C etc, the communication between the accelerometer and the microcontroller uses I2C protocol to transfer the data between two. For development we used MKL25Z128VLK4 controller. Even this is also ARM® Cortex™-M0+ processor. The reason for using this processor is this processor will be available on a FRDM KL25Z board from freescale and this board also has MMA8451Q accelerometer populated on the board. So till the completion of designing the PCB this board can be used for development. The processor which will be used in the final product and the processor which we are using now for development...

...organ and tissue transplant: The Major histocompatibility complexes (MHC), think of them like trackers or identifications tags that are found on almost every cell that has a nucleus. They play an important role in activating the immune response and stopping further destruction. However, if MHC is not working properly, they can become antigenic. This means that the cell will not be able to recognize or distinguish self from non-self causing destruction of the cell. Thus, MHC plays an important role in organ and tissue transplantation success as well as can give rise to autoimmune diseases. In the case of organ and tissue transplant, it is crucial to match the MHC molecules of the donors and recipients to reduce risk of rejection of transplant. 2. Understanding the difference between humoral immunity versus cell-mediated immunity:...

...Amazon With amazon services you choose a service plan based upon a completely virtual environment. Using a preconfigured AMI (amazon machine image) or creating your own with its own set of network permissions and protocols. This also chooses instance types you may want. Multiple services using AMI and with that utilize static endpoints or attach persistent block storage to said instances. The resources you use is what you will pay for out of the total plan you have chosen based upon time or data transfer. Amazon also has an elastic block store based service with offers persistent storage for amazon EC2 instances. EC2 is a program which you decide a system to boot into it so it can be stopped and restarted with the whim of the client. With this the EBS volumes can be measured and observed by the client. EC2 also provides multiple locations. This is based mainly open regions and available zones. Elastic or dynamic IP addresses are available for wireless and mobile devices that will use these cloud services.
