...Unit 4 Assignment 4 Non- electronic communication involves the distribution of a message usually in the form of: Reports, Letters, Flow Charts, Invoices and even Verbal Communication amongst employees. This form of communicating is not as popular as it once was, but it provides businesses with other avenues to communicate instead of electronic communication. Furthermore, different types of communication suit contrasting businesses in addition to, the preference of people involved within a business. What Is Non- Electronic Communication? Electronic and Non- Electronic Sources of Business Information Sources of business information can come in a variety of different forms which include: Newspapers, Websites, Books, Posters, Directories, Databases, Government Statistics and so forth. Business information is basically information gathered of relevance to a business and its environment. Businesses use different sources of information as a way of understanding the markets they entering into, their competitors and how the company can grow. Moreover, different sources of business information serve contrasting purposes. Firstly, electronic communication involves the use of technology to distribute a particular message across. Examples of electronic communication include: the use of Mobile Devices, Video conferencing, Twitter, Facebook and other Social Media Websites, as well as, Electronic Mail. This is an effective way of communicating in a business environment as it is cost effective...

...After researching about energy in Erie, PA, I learned a lot. In this paper I will discuss four different areas. First, we will talk about three forms of energy that are majorly used in the area, where they originate from and whether they are nonrenewable or renewable. Second, we will discuss four renewable energy sources and why they would be good for my area. Next, we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages about the four renewable sources. Last, we will talk about three areas where I can reduce energy in my home. These areas are all very important so let’s get started. First, the three energies that are used the most in Erie are coal, natural gas, and nuclear electric power. Coal, is nonrenewable due to it taking millions of years to create. It is created form peat which is plants and other life forms die and sink to the bottom of swampy areas (energy4me.org pg.1). Natural gas is the next most used, which is made from decaying prehistoric plant and animal remains that is turned into a vapor, which is nonrenewable also (energy4me.org pg. 1). The last item would be nuclear electric power which is the energy in the nucleus or core of an atom, which is nonrenewable (energy4me.org pg. 1). Also energy needs do change throughout the year; this would be mainly due to the weather. My heat is gas, so I use more gas during the winter then in the summer. It changes all the time. Renewable energy sources that could work in my area would be hydro conventional, wind...

...1 Running head: UNIT 4 ASSIGNMENT 1 Fundamentals of Finance BUS 3062 Rodtrice Johnson 3/7/16 Unit 4 Assignment 1 Dennis Hart 1. Q: Proficient-level: "How do Cornett, Adair, and Nofsinger define risk in the M: Finance textbook and how is it measured?" (Cornett, Adair, & Nofsinger, 2016). Distinguished-level: Describe the risk relationship between stocks, bonds, and T-bills, using the standard deviation of returns as the measure of risk. Answer Proficient-level: Risk is defined as the volatility of an asset’s returns over time. Specifically, the standard deviation of returns is used to measure risk. This computation measures the deviation from the average return. The idea is to use standard deviation, a measure of volatility of past returns to proxy for how variable returns are expected to be in the future. Answer Distinguished-level: Stocks and bonds have very different risk-return characteristics. In general, while stocks are more volatile than bonds, over the long run, stocks are expected to yield higher returns than bonds. By varying the mix of stocks and bonds in a portfolio, an investor can achieve her desired level of risk exposure. However, the level of risk in a portfolio depends not only on the risks of individual assets, but also on the movements of the individual assets in the portfolio. 2. Q: Proficient-level: "What is the source of firm-specific risk? What is the source of market risk?" (Cornett, Adair, & Nofsinger, 2016, p...

...IT560 Unit 4 Assignment Syed M Amin Kaplan University IT560 Unit 4 Assignment In the last report, it was highlighted that an ERP based system can not only facilitate our employees in making better decisions and giving more productivity but an off-the-shelf ERP solution can also lower the overall cost of doing business by eliminating redundant systems and processes. Also, off-the-shelf ERP software is the easiest to implement and carries lower risks associated with it because of feedback from companies that have already used the same software before. Cost and time are key factors during the selection phase of an Enterprise Resource Planning solution. Customization to prewritten ERP packages is expensive, especially when the software needs to be upgraded. The answer to this is the employment of off-the-shelf ERP software. A...

Header – The starting point of the module Body- The list of statements that belong to the module 3. The program returns to the memory address just after from where the module was called, and continues to execute 4. A local variable is a variable that is declared from within the module. Only statements in that module can access it. 5. A local variable’s scope begins at the variable’s declaration and ends at the end of the module in which it is declared. 6. Passing an argument by value is a one-way communication from the main program to the module. Changes to the parameter variable inside the module do not affect the argument in the calling part of the program. Passing an argument by reference is a two-way communication from the main program to the module and it allows modification of the variable in the calling program 7. Global variables make a program difficult to debug because any statement in a program file can change the value of a global variable. If you find that the wrong value is being stored in the global variable, you have to track down every statement that accesses it to determine where the bad value is coming from. 1.

The west coast of the US consists of the highest levels of risk by a wide margin, particularly in the south-west (on the pacific tectonic plate fault line). Central Eastern regions bear areas of moderate risk. Northern and South/south-easterly regions bear no significant risk. 2) Locate your home on this map and make a note of the relative risk to you by indicating the color where you live. The USGS also reports on earthquakes around the world. Visit this interactive map to find the latest global earthquake data from the past seven days: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/ Bridgeport Connecticut - very low probability of occurrence here. This region bears no significant risk to such an event over the next 50 years. 3) What patterns do you see in the distribution of earthquakes around the world? The majority of earthquakes occur on the left hand side of the pacific plate (the fault line between the pacific/Eurasian and pacific/Australasian plates) the right hand side of this plate relates to the fault line where the majority of earthquakes in the US occur. The westerly coast of the South America also has an abundance of earthquakes on the right hand side of the Nazca tectonic...

...UNIT 4. Assignment 1. Copper vs Fiber As the name suggests, fibre optic technology uses pulses of light to carry data along strands of glass or plastic. It's the technology of choice for the government's National Broadband Network (NBN), which promises to deliver speeds of at least 100Mbps. When we're talking about 'speed' were actually talking about throughput (or capacity) — the amount of data you can transfer per unit time. And fiber optics can definitely transfer more data at higher throughput over longer distances than copper wire. For example, a local area network using modern copper lines can carry 3000 telephone calls all at once, while a similar system using fiber optics can carry over 31,000. So what gives it the technical edge over copper wires? Traditional copper wires transmit electrical currents, while fiber optic technology sends pulses of light generated by a light emitting diode or laser along optical fibers. In both cases you're detecting changes in energy, and that's how you encode data. With copper wires you're looking at changes in the electromagnetic field, the intensity of that field and perhaps the phase of the wave being sent down a wire. With fiber optics, a transmitter converts electronic information into pulses of light — a pulse equates to a one, while no pulse is zero. When the signal reaches the other end, an optical receiver converts the light signal back into electronic information, the throughput of the data is determined by the frequency range...

...Veronica McNutt IT590 Unit 4 Assignment Professor DePriest September 2, 2014 Unit 4 Assignment Essay Questions Scenario 1: You are working as a designer for a university that offers a program in Computer Science. One of the tracts is computer security. One of your colleagues has recommended adding a course addressing network security. In this course, students learn about the history of networks and study network attacks that have caused significant damage to the network that was the subject of the attack. During the second term of this two semester course, the students are taught how to hack into a system, how to create malware (including Trojan horses, viruses, and worms), and how to perpetrate a DOS attack. Choose one or more of the ethical theories discussed in Chapter 2 and combine that with research to determine whether this course should be taught. Be sure to discuss both sides of the issue before taking a specific side. Would it make a difference if this were a graduate or PhD level course instead of an undergraduate level course? Explain. Disadvantages According to research, there are many concerns for offering hands-on training to students in a computer network class. According to Trabelsi & Ibrahim (2013), UAE conducted a survey of the students who used the skills learned in the hands-on DOS attack class. Eighty five percent of students used the skills learned outside the isolated network university lab. These concerns would be the following: that the...

...Running Head: WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT Writing Assignment/ Unit#4 Shannon Brown Kaplan University PA 328 Professor Mighdoll April 16, 2013 The United States of America has an extensive history when dealing with the issues of copyright and what regulations or laws should protect the author. America has been deliberating the issue as early as 1787 when James Madison requested that a provision be added to the constitution that would provide protection to literary authors for a determined time (U.S. Copyright Office). Many individuals and organizations have made a mark in the history of copyright laws and regulations but research proves that the Berne Convention is responsible for setting a standard for international copyright laws. The Berne Convention enjoyed much success by signing over a 160 participating member nations. The United States became a member of this international community in 1989 (U.S. Copyright Office). The Berne Convention is an international agreement intended to protect its member’s against copyright infringement and also to allow protections for as long as 70 years after the death of the author, provided the works have been viewed (U.S. Copyright Office). The Berne Convention is a treaty whose members believe that intellectual property is important and should be held to some degree of copyright protection (eBook Chp.16 2012). The Universal Copyright Convention (UCC) was another organization that worked to protect the intellectual...
