...The web design team is proposing that the current website be revamped if not completely redone. In order for them to do this they have decided to go with the RUP or rational unified process. This will allow them to be able to suit the requirements of the organization where it is implemented. This type of process will allow them to be able to modify the website as issues come in and they will be able to better connect with the customers who use the website. The RUP process uses six best practices or methodologies, which compared to other processes, are more modern in the approach and are used to develop a variety of software applications. The six are iterative development, manage requirements, component based architecture, visual software model, software quality verification and control changes. If the company follows these best practices the company will be successful in the RUP process for this project. The RUP life cycle RUP's life cycle consists of four consecutive phases: inception, elaboration, construction, and transition. In the inception phase, the concept behind the process is reiterated and the boundaries of the project are defined. In the elaboration phase, the problem domain is identified and architecture established. In the construction phase, the software is developed. Finally, in the transition phase, the product is sent to the user domain. Inception Phase The first phase of the process reiterates the concept of what they web design departments want. It...

...identified and environmental hazards addressed. Questions that needed to be answered in relation to this unknown compound included: Is it a risk to people living nearby? What if it gets in the water supply? Does it contaminate the air? Is it reactive? Over a three week time-span the chemists experimented with the unknown compound to report the findings back to the community. After the unknown compound was identified, the chemists studied its properties and confirmed the identity by synthesizing the compound in the lab and comparing it to the unknown. Experimental Week 1 After a sample of the unknown compound (#21) was retrieved, various experiments were carried out to determine the chemical formula. An anion analysis was first performed on the unknown compound. A solution of the unknown compound was prepared by taking a small amount of the solid on the end of a scoopula and dissolving it in 2 mL of distilled water (DI water) in a test tube. The compound was then tested for the sulfate ion by placing 1 mL of the solution in a test tube and adding 1 mL 6 M HCl and 1 mL of BaCl₂ solution. A white precipitate proves the presence of a sulfate ion. (aq) + (aq) (s) + 2 (aq) A carbonate ion analysis was also performed by adding 1 mL of the unknown solution in a test tube and adding 6 M HCl one drop at a time. If bubbles form after each drop is added, a carbonate ion is present. When anion analysis was completed,...

...University of Phoenix Material Week 4 Exercises Prepare written answers to the following exercises: 1. Imagine that you are an environmental scientist. Working in collaboration with a university chemist, you were able to determine from mass spectrometry that four elements exist in your soil samples. They are Se, Sn, Pb, and Cd. You need to determine which elements will most likely combine with oxygen to produce oxides that are present in your sample. To do so, refer to the periodic table to determine the electron configuration and ionization energy of each element. This will show the number of valence electrons for each element. • What are the electron configurations for Se, Sn, Pb, and Cd? Selenium=[Ar]3d 10 4s2 4p4, Tin=[Kr]4d10 5s2 5p2, Lead=[Xe]4f14 5d10 6s2 6p2, Cadmium=[Kr]4d10 5s2 • What are the valence electrons for Se, Sn, Pb, and Cd? Selenium=Valence 6, Tin=Valence 4, Lead=Valence 4, Cadmium=Valence 2 • Rank the elements in increasing ionization energy. Selenium=941.2045, 2973.7, 4144, 6590, 7880, 14990 kj/mol.

...1) Draw the network diagram (use activity on the node). (8 marks) [pic] 2) Explain how you determined the timing of activities and the total float. (6 marks) Earliest start (ES) is defined as the earliest possible time that a task can begin. Predecessors are completed before an activity can begin. The latest start time (LS) is the latest time that a task can begin without delaying the entire project. For critical activities, the earliest start time and the latest finish time are equal; their total float is zero. On the other hand, Earliest finish (EF) is the earliest possible time that a task can be completed. It is computed as; earliest start time + activity duration. On the other hand, Latest finish (LF) is the latest time that a particular task can be completed without delaying the completion of the entire project. Latest finish time is computed as the latest start time + activity duration. With respect to start times, an activity is regarded to be critical if the earliest finish and latest finish times are equal. Total float (TF) is computed as the difference between the earliest start time (ES) and the latest start time (LS). This is equal to the difference between the latest start time (LS) and the latest finish time (LF). In summary, Total Float, TF = LS-ES = LF-EF Calculations are summarised in the table below. Note that; Total Float (TF) = Latest Finish Time (LF) – Duration – Earliest...

...vegetable tests results have shown yield improvements from 15% to 57% as well as improvements in taste and appearance. The information you need to know and consider is presented below in a list format, which we believe is easier and quicker to reference and grasp. Some of the discoveries made will surprise you. Most people will be amazed by the following information if they have no prior exposure to the absolute beauty and completeness of the worm casting. Basic points to start: Worm Castings are the worm feces. The castings are made up of live biological organisms. The organisms include fungi, actinomycetes , beneficial bacteria, pseudomonads , plant growth regulators, yeasts, molds, trace elements and the famous N-P-K ratings used by fertilizers, to reference the Nitrogen, Phosphorus and K (which is the chemical symbol for Potassium) quantities promoted by the fertilizer industry (more on this below). Worm Castings are harmless to plants (in any dosage), pets or children. You cannot ‘burn’ a plant by over use of casting, even if not watered properly. Pets and children alike can play in castings without any more damage than normal dirt. Castings have no odor themselves. There is a slight fresh dirt odor that comes from the dirt in which the castings were created, but in fact, castings do much to retard odor from other sources....

...called an element or a member. Curly braces , { }, are used to list the elements in a set. The ∈ symbol is used to denote that an element is in a given set. For example: consider the set A = {2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11}. 5 ∈ A and 8 ∈ A / . – p.1/?? Sets • Sets may also be written using set builder notation of the form {x | x has property P} For example: the set of even integers can be written E = {x | x = 2k for k any integer} . – p.2/?? Sets • The empty set, denoted φ, is the set that contains no elements. Do not but braces around the empty set. {φ} actually represents the set that contains the empty set. • A Universal set, denoted U, is the set that includes all the objects being discussed. . – p.3/?? Sets • The number of elements in a set B is denoted n(B). For example: n(A) = 6 and n(φ) = 0. • Two sets are equal if they contain exactly the same elements. For example: {1, 2, 3} = {2, 3, 1}, but {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 4} . – p.4/?? Subsets • Set A is a subset of set B, denoted A ⊆ B, if every element of A is also an element of B. A Set A is a proper subset of set B, denoted A ⊂ B, if A ⊆ B and A = B. With all of this notation it is often nice to have a diagram representing the sets. • The diagram for sets is called a Venn diagram. . – p.5/??

English consists of synonyms, passages… Tech section (Tronics) tests your overall knowledge ranging from digital logic, power electronics, processors, analog communication, digital commn, to fields and waves. Normally a week’s gap is taken before the interviews commence. 2) Tech Round (not easy) They concentrate either on microcontrollers or power electronics depending on the HR. Gotta be thorough with microcont, digital logic atleast.. questions are not direct, but are mainly application based. 3) HR Round Just a formality. They ask why volvo, whether you have previous offers etc etc. After this they take 2 weeks time to inform you about the results. Resumes will be analysed by their engineers and final confirmations sent to the college. After getting placed they ask you to take a psychometric test which tests your reaction to different situations. Please take a note this paper is just an indication towards the paper. They might give you a new pattern. Directions for questions 1 to 5: Read the passages below and answer the questions that follow.

The Key Study Areas are as follows….. * TCO A -Business ethics: Three layers of Business ethics: * 1) Basic values (honest, keeping promises) * 2) Notion of fairness (how do we treat others?) * 3) Issues related to community, environment, neighbors Business ethics considers fairness and morals standards amidst the pressure of earning a profit and providing returns to shareholders. Sometimes we may have business ethical tensions where Employee has personal economic interests in continuing employment that may compromise certain personal moral standards. -Ethical Models/Tests The Blanchard and Peale Model * Is it legal? (IF NO, analysis is done) * Is it balanced? (Is our deal with the other side balanced or was it cutthroat?) * How does it make me feel? (The action may be legal and appear balanced; but, do you feel good about it?) * Front Page of the newspaper test: Simple question that requires a decision maker to envision how a reporter would describe a decision on the front page of a local or national newspaper. * Laura Nash Perspective Model: How would I view the issue if I stood on the other side of the fence? What am I trying to accomplish? Can I discuss my decision with friends, family, and those closest to me? * The Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them to unto you. This requires one to apply the same standards of fairness and equity to their own actions that they would demand...
