Elite Burger: New Product Launch

Posted on | by

 

 

Overview
Before a project team can begin working on their project, the requirements, scope, and goals need to be documented and authorized. In this assignment, you will create a project charter that includes all the pertinent information for a given scenario. You will also list the project’s stakeholders and their influence on the proposed project.

Elite Burger: New Product Launch Case Scenario

David Smith, a project manager at Elite Burger, was called into an executive meeting on short notice. During the meeting, the executive team discussed the increased demand for vegetarian and vegan products in the industry. So, they decided that a new burger called the “Veggie Time Burger” will be launched in six months. They want the burger to stand out from the other similar products with fresh ingredients and new toppings. Since David has successfully launched other products in the past, he has been tasked with being the project manager for this new project.

Prompt
Review the case scenario and complete the following project initiation activities: draft a project charter and create a stakeholder register.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

Draft a project charter that contains the project title, business case, project requirements, project scope, and the proposed delivery date.
Create a stakeholder registry with the names or titles of project stakeholders, their roles, their level of interest, and their power or influence on the project. Also, explain in a sentence or two how you determined their interest and power levels.
For your response, you can draw on the course material, your experience, and research.

Posted on | by

 

 

 

For this discussion, choose one of the theories explored in this unit (behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, CBT, or REBT.) Demonstrate how you would apply techniques of the chosen theory while working with one client in the Theories of Psychotherapy Case Options case study you developed earlier in the course. Write a short script of a hypothetical counseling session with about 10 client statements and 10 counselor responses/statements. State which theory you are applying, and be sure to exemplify key skills/principle techniques from your chosen theory.
Follow this format to provide a minimum of 10 responses and identifying at least three different skills/principles that align with the theory:
Client: Insert Statement
Counselor: Insert Response Identify Skill/Principle per Theory
Response Guidelines
Respond to the posts of at least two of your peers. These responses should be substantive and contribute to the conversation by respectfully asking questions, engaging in discussion, and offering varying viewpoints.

Special population

Posted on | by

 

Select a special population (e.g., pediatrics, geriatrics, pregnancy, lactation). Select a route of administration (e.g., oral, IV, subcutaneous, IM, transdermal, rectal, inhalation, SL) and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this administration route. Give an example of a medication administered by your chosen route and a good patient candidate or rationale for choosing your given route of administration. Take into consideration guidelines that apply to medication administration in your special population (e.g., Beer’s criteria, pregnancy and lactation categories) and discuss why you selected these guidelines. Discuss the issue of polypharmacy in the population you select. Include the name of the medication in the subject line so that the medications can be followed. Make sure you choose a different medication from your peers. Include references in APA format.

Round Robin scheduling.

Posted on | by

 

Project : Write a computer program to simulate Round Robin scheduling.
Grade : 300 points
Submission:
•
• Bring in your code in class on to demonstrate as it runs. You will show me what you will have. You will always get partial credit even if the program does not run properly.
You have the code for a) arrival times and service times generation and b) Gantt chart drawing of RR from previous assignments.
Now in this project you will have to combine the two codes, make few changes according to the specification mentioned below and make the program run.

Round Robin
• Consider 100 processes. Process arrives at different times with different service times. They have different arrival times.
• The generated interarrival times will fall between the minimum value of 4 and maximum value of 9. In other words, all the 99 generated numbers will be between the range of 4 and 9.
The generated services times will fall between the minimum value of 2 and maximum value of 5.
• Upon arrival, a process can be appended at the end of the ready queue, top of the queue, or right after the current process, which is in service at the time of arrival. You choose the option you would like to implement.

• Process will have:
 ID
 Service time
 Arrival Time
These are input variables for each process.
• As time goes on, processes will be picked up by the dispatcher one at a time from the ready queue and will be allowed to execute for one quantum
o Quantum will be a variable in your program. Use quantum = 1 and then 3.
o Your program should be able to use any value for context switch, CS. Use CS = 0 to start with.
o Your program should also have a variable to represent the simulated clock time.
Simulation will start with clock time =0. Assume that the first process arrives and
starts at clock time 0.

• Main program will call various subprograms/ functions/modules as needed.
• If a process completes before the time quantum has been finished, do not waste the time just doing nothing. Let another process execute for one full quantum following RR algorithm. In other words, a process will get one quantum or less of service at a time.
• Your program
a) will calculate and output the following for all processes.

-Start time
-End time
-IntitialWait time
-TotalWait time
-Turnaround time

b) will calculate and output
-average interarrival time,
– average service times
-average Turnaround time
-average TotalWait time

Your output will look as follows for each process:

ID Start End IntitilWait TotalWait TurnAround

Note: you start with 10 processes and have your program and then move to 100 process.

Amphipathic Alpha Helices

Posted on | by

 

Alpha helices are often embedded in a protein so that one side faces the surface and the other
side faces the interior. Such helices are often termed amphipathic because the surface side is
hydrophilic and the interior side is hydrophobic. A simple way to decide whether a sequence
of aminoacids might form an amphipathic helix is to arrange the aminoacids around what is
known as “helix-wheel projection”, which is a 2d projection of the aminoacid positions (see
Fig. 1). If the hydrophobic and hydrophilic aminoacids are segregated on opposite sides of
the wheel, the helix is amphipathic. Using the helix-wheel projection, decide which of the
three peptides here might form an amphipathic helix
1. S L I K S V I E M V D E W F R T F L
2. F L I R V L R K V F R V L T R I L S
3. R L F R S R V L K I A V I R F L L I
(underlined aminoacids are hydrophobic one, they can be memorized by the mnemonic
“FAMILY VW”).
1.2 Amphipatic beta sheets
Like alpha helices, beta sheets often have a one side facing the surface of the protein and one
side facing the interior, giving rise to an amphipathic sheet with one hydrophobic surface
and one hydrophilic surface. From the sequences listed below pick the one that could form
a strand in an amphipathic beta sheet.
1. A L S C D V E T Y W L I
2. D K L V T S I A R E F M
3. D S E T K N A V F L I L
4. T L N I S F Q M E L D V
5. V L E F M D I A S V L D
1.3 Buried Aminoacids
Small proteins may have only one or two amino acid side chains that are totally inaccessible
to solvent. Even in large proteins, only about 15% of the amino acids are fully buried. A list
Figure 1: You can use this figure to decide which of the three sequences might form an
amphipatic helix (problem 1.1).

Technology Catch-Up

Posted on | by

 

 

For this question, please use sheet 4. In addition to China beginning a period of TFP growth, we might
expect that China begins to close the gap in technology relative to the US. In this question we construct an
2
alternative path for TFP that allows for a non-constant growth rate of TFP over time in China. Note that
this sheet will automatically pull in the population path you built in sheet 3.
(a) (5 points) Inspect the formula in column C for years 1976 onward (row 36 on). Describe in words what
you think this formula is doing. In questions 2 and 3 what happened to the relative level (ratio) of
TFP in the US and China over time? With this new formula what happens to the relative level of TFP
over time? Will this ratio tend to a particular value in the long run?
(b) (5 points) Construct the deduced variables in columns G through M. How does Chinese growth in this
scenario compare to what you saw in questions 2 and 3? Does this do a better or worse job of matching
the observed data?
(c) (10 points) Given the new path for TFP, in the long-run (e.g. 2100 onward) will Chinese living standards
grow faster, slower, or at the same rate as in the US? Will the level of Chinese living standards be
higher, lower, or the same as in the US? Explain your answer.
