...SCHOOL OF VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION FEDERAL COLLEGE OF EDUCATION (SPECIAL), OYO AN ASSIGNMENT SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION COURSE CODE: AGE 121 COURSE TITLE: ARABLE CROP PRODUCTION QUESTION: DISCUSS THE INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION BY ABDUL-RASHEED MUHAMM DEPARTMENT: SHI/AGE DR. S. O. AGBATO AND MRS. SALAMI LECTURER IN CHARGE Climate change induced by increasing greenhouse gases is likely to affect crops differently from region to region. For example, average crop yield is expected to drop down to 50% in Pakistan according to the UKMO scenario whereas corn production in Europe is expected to grow up to 25% in optimum hydrologic conditions. More favourable effects on yield tend to depend to a large extent on realization of the potentially beneficial effects of carbon dioxide on crop growth and increase of efficiency in water use. Decrease in potential yields is likely to be caused by shortening of the growing period, decrease in water availability and poor vernalization. The overall effect of climate change on agriculture will depend on the balance of these effects. Assessment of the effects of global climate changes on agriculture might help to properly anticipate and adapt farming to maximize agricultural production. At the same time, agriculture has been...

...Riordan Business-to-Business Web Site Use Case Scenarios Analysis In deciding which way to take Riordan Manufacturing’s business-to-business web site use case studies were performed and the top two scenarios were chosen for further analysis. Both scenarios present a way for Riordan to improve raw material ordering through different means. In order to decide which path to take the two scenarios will be discussed in greater detail including a brief synopsis on the technological role involving systems analysis and design, database design, programming, networking, and the web. Use Case 1 As described before, in use case scenario 1, a Riordan employee would log into a business-to-business web site and place an order with one of our partnered vendors as Figure 1 depicts. The employee logs into the secure website, chooses a vendor from a list, selects from the common list of products purchased from the vendor, chooses a quantity and enters a required by date, the vendor receives notification of an order, verifies credit status or requests credit card information, fills the order, generates an invoice, and ships the order to our warehouse. Use Case 2 In use case scenario 2, as shown in Figure 2, the approach to replenishing key inventory levels resides with the vendor. Triggers in the database alert the vendor via email that the level is at its threshold and then the supplier logs into the secure business-to-business web site, issues an order to ship replenishment supplies...

...Sensitivity Analysis Using Data Tables In Excel A data table in Excel is a kind of What-If scenario. The table allows you to create instant results based on two variables which change along the rows and columns of the table. Let’s say we’re trying to predict the number of periods until a currently unprofitable company becomes profitable. We have a goal for managing expense growth rates and a goal for increasing sales growth rates but of course, we don’t know whether or not we’ll hit our targets! A data table can show us at a glance the effects of missing and/or exceeding our target numbers. In a new Excel spreadsheet create an area to hold our assumptions. You can create this region yourself, or download the sample spreadsheet. We need figures in year ‘0’ (the current year) for Revenues, Expenses, Revenue Growth, and Expense Growth. We include the year of interest at the bottom so that we can quickly change the year of interest to see how the company would be doing for a particular year given a variety of revenue and expense estimates. Amount Growth Rate Revenues $1,000,000 15.0% Expenses $1,700,000 3.0% Year 0 Be sure to name your ranges; we’ll be using the names to create a cumulative profit formula. We then ‘surround’ our growth targets with higher and lower estimates as shown below. We place our formula for cumulative profit at the top left corner of the table, using the named ranges we created above: =(Revenues*((1+RevGrowth)^Years))-(Expenses*((1+ExpGrowth)^Years)) ...

...Overview In this lab, we will compare the speed and accuracy of different traffic representations: explicit traffic, background traffic, and hybrid traffic. The network used in the lab is a model of a company that provides video-on-demand services to 100 users. The company would like to introduce three classes of service for its clients: gold (ToS = 3), silver (ToS = 2) and bronze (ToS = 1). To provide differentiated treatment for the different service classes, Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) has been configured on the access router. In this lab, we will predict the delay for each class of service and compare the results obtained using the different traffic modeling approaches. Objectives and Methodology * Create a simple network with explicit traffic and run a simulation. * Replace explicit traffic with background traffic and rerun the simulation. * Replace background traffic with hybrid traffic and rerun the simulation. * Assess and compare the speed and accuracy of the three traffic-modeling approaches. Explanation and Background In the real world, one of the most important jobs a network manager can do is manage the traffic on the network. If the traffic doesn’t flow, the network is not exactly a credit to its operators. In addition, we now deal with many different types of traffic that are particular to certain applications and architectures, the most obvious examples being voice and video traffic. In these applications, the number one demand is for low delay...
