Assignment 1: Monitoring Our Home Planet

The Internet is a powerful tool that provides the ability to monitor natural phenomena and disasters that happen all over planet Earth.

In this assignment, you will research resources available on the Internet for monitoring natural phenomena including earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, global climate, and weather.

Based on your research, do the following:

  • Identify a minimum of three different natural phenomena that are typically responsible for natural disasters. Analyze the potential impact of these disasters.
  • Analyze how these phenomenon are monitored, or not, via the Internet. Critique available Web sites, which publicly display up to date monitored information related to each of the natural phenomena you have identified. Focus on the following aspects:
    • Geography
      • What parts of the world are potentially affected by these phenomena? Specifically identify the countries.
    • Resources
      • What kinds of resources are allocated toward monitoring these phenomena and why?
      • What types of Web resources monitor the phenomena and provide up to date information about them?
      • What kinds of technology are involved in monitoring the phenomena?
    • Politics
      • What political ramifications would this disaster preparedness technology cause between more developed countries and less developed countries?
      • What kinds of issues could this technology cause between less developed countries?
    • Economics
      • How would this technology directly impact the economies of those countries that have the technology versus those countries that do not?
      • Do you predict any indirect impacts? What current evidence supports your position?
    • Disaster Preparedness
      • What types of systems are in place in terms of disaster preparedness related to these monitored phenomena?
  • Summarize your findings. Evaluate how this technology will impact the future of humanity, both positively and negatively. Be sure to consider the political and economic issues discussed in your future predictions.

Support your statements with examples. Use a minimum of six reliable references, two of which should be peer reviewed articles.

Write a 7–8 page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M5_A1.doc

math homework 9

Based on your coin flips, you have chosen building to rob. Although it has no electric fences and no closed circuit cameras, the money is guarded by a gigantic hound. Fortunately, you have gem powered gun, which is capable of putting any person or animal to sleep instantly. Unfortunately, that power only works half the time ( that is, each time the weapon is fired, the probability of making the target fall asleep is 1/2 ). Just to be safe, you are also carrying a dog whistle, which aims to keep any dog away, but the product claims to only work on 96% of dogs. If the probability that both the whistle and the gum will work on this dog is 48%, what is the probability that you will be able to get past the dog (by putting it to sleep or whistling or both)

bussiness law 1

I need some to do my bussiness law’s homework right now. I have to turn it in with in 4 hours. It only need answer question and write around 200 words as one or two paragraph. 

 

In the past, the rules of discovery were very restrictive, and trials often turned on elements of surprise. For example, a plaintiff would not necessarily know until the trial what the defendant’s defense was going to be. In the last several decades, however, new rules of discovery have substantially changed this situation. Now each attorney can access practically all of the evidence that the other side intends to present at trial, with the exception of certain information—namely, the opposing attorney’s work product. Work product is not a precise concept. Basically, it includes all of the attorney’s thoughts on the case. Can you see any reason why such information should not be made available to the opposing attorney? Discuss fully.

calculations and explanations

Case Study                               The Mystery of the Missing Coulomb

This week Patty Madeye is going to be investigating the theft of a rare Orange Tiger Coulomb (shown at the right), which is owned by Madame Levare, who lives in West Floflux.    

 

Since the jewels are quite valuable, Madam Levare stores them in the vault at the jeweler’s store, West FloFlux GemStone in downtown West FloFlux.    Only certain lockboxes in the vault were touched – it seems that the thief knew exactly what he was looking for.     

 

 

Task #1 – Patty’s first task is to determine the value of the jewels.  She talks to the jeweler who created them and he estimates the value of the jewels in 1985 (when they were purchased) at $65,000.  The value is thought to increase (appreciate) by $1500 per year.  If this is true, how much would the jewels be worth in 2010? Explain how you arrived at your answer.  (4 points)

 

Answer:  

Explanation: 

 

Task #2   Patty talks to the jeweler and discovers that he remembers the 4 digit combination to the main vault in the store by writing it down in summation form.  Here’s what he wrote:

 

 

The combination is written in summation form, but some of the notation is cut off from where the paper is ripped.  You’ll need to figure out the full equation so that Patty can get into the vault to investigate. (4 points)

 

Answer:          

Explanation:   

 

Task #3   Patty notices a pattern in the numbers of the lockboxes that were touched during the robbery  and says that she thinks that it’s a mathematical sequence.    The sequence is { 8, 15, 22, 29,  …}.  Determine whether this is a sequence (as far as you can tell)  and what type (arithmetic or geometric) it is.    Justify your answer by stating the general term for the sequence.  Assuming Patty is correct, can you identify two other lockboxes that might have been emptied using this sequence? (4 points)

 

Answer: 

Explanation: 

 

Task #4  (8 points) – Patty asks you to find out more information about the Fibonacci sequence as background for this week’s episode.  Do some research on the Fibonacci numbers by consulting the Kaplan Library or the internet.  Find two facts or interesting properties about this fascinating topic and write a 1 page essay describing what you have found.  Possible approaches include:

 

          The origin of the Fibonacci sequence?

          What is the connection between the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio?

          Does the “golden string” ever repeat?

 

Answer: 

 

Essay Requirements

          Write your essay in this document – do not save it in a separate file.

          Your answer should be between 400 500 words (about 1 page of double spaced text)

          You must cite all sources (book, website, periodical) using APA format, however do not use unreliable sources such as Wikipedia, and Yahoo! Answers.
