Please submit your input as a word document format (.doc). Please remember to cite the sources for your research. Case Study - "Hubble Trouble": Some years ago work began on the development of the Hubble Space Telescope....which was placed into low earth orbit in 1990. The capability provided by the Hubble Space Telescope is a historic prescedent for mankind.....vis a vis the advanced imaging of the cosmos.....from a vantage point in space....free from image distortion caused by the earth's atmosphere. Considerable care and planning was associated with the development of this complex space based instrument. Unfortunately, the Hubble Space Telescope experienced several delays and cost over-runs. The deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope was further delayed due to the un-related loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger. Once the Hubble Space Telescope was ultimately deployed it was discovered that the telescope suffered from a significant optics error in the development of it's primary reflecting mirror. Fortunately, a team was able to develop a solution to address this error....at considerable additional expense....and opportunity loss (vis a vis...the re-allocation of space shuttle missions to implement the solution....). Questions: What went wrong in the development of the Hubble Space Telescope ? What was the impact / consequences associated with this error ? What actions did the Hubble Space Telescope development team employ to preclude the problem from happening ? Why weren't the actions that the team employed sufficient to prevent this embarassing problem from occuring ? What Systems Engineering processes / actions should the James Webb Space Telescope development team consider employing to preclude such a problem from occuring in this successor space telescope ? 1.5 pagr for sumurry and use the calculations in your summary for case study in fracture .

1. A health psychologist in a northern climate wants to evaluate the claim that UV lamps help lower depressive symptoms in middle-aged women. She recruits volunteers who meet the criteria for clinical depression and assigns them to two groups: one group receives a standard treatment for depression and undergoes a half hour of UV lamp therapy each day; the other group receives the same standard treatment for depression but without UV lamp therapy. At the end of two months, she administers a depression inventory where lower scores indicate fewer depressive symptoms (lower levels of depression). Assume all other variables are controlled for in the study. Evaluate the claim that depression treatment plus the UV lamp results in lower depression scores than depression treatment alone.
