RESEARCH PAPER GUIDELINES | ENGLISH G110 Length: 2000 words (not counting Works Cited page). Due: December 16, 2022 For your final paper you will write a research paper on Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. Your argument will be part of a feminist, psychoanalytic, or postcolonial critical discussion of the text. You are required to use six secondary sources, four of which are on the novel itself. The basic process involved in writing a research paper in literature is no different than other kinds of research papers. Begin with an area of interest, ask questions sparked by that interest, and formulate a working hypothesis as a response to one or more of those questions. TOPIC & THESIS The better you know the text, the easier it will be to find a topic. I highly advise rereading the text and writing down ideas as you read. Pay attention to recurring themes; ask questions that prompt and guide further inquiry. To begin your inquiry, use the questions in our critical theory text. One or more of those questions might lead you to a specific hypothesis of your own, or you might find that the text allows for an entirely different psychoanalytic or postcolonial reading. When you have a hypothesis (one that you’ll refine into a strong thesis), start gathering sources. Begin with searches specific to your topic, and broaden them until you have a sufficient number of secondary sources to review. The goal of the research is, first, for you to see how your hypothesis fits into the critical discussion of your topic. You’ll find that much has been said about the topic, in which case you will need to ask yourself how you can add to the discussion. You might agree with critics, but come to your conclusion through different analyses, or you might disagree and make that disagreement your thesis. It’s also possible that there is very little (or no) critical discussion of your specific topic. In that case, you are exploring new territory and offering new ways of understanding the text. The second goal of the research is for you to introduce the critical discussion as context for your now refined thesis and to continue that discussion throughout your essay, quoting and paraphrasing criticism wherever it relates to your main ideas. SOURCES Primary sources are the literary works themselves, such as Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. Secondary sources are works that analyze and interpret primary sources or provide relevant information. For this paper, you are required to use six secondary sources. Four of your sources must discuss the novel itself. Your other sources might be used for relevant contextual information, relevant concepts, etc. All of your sources must be scholarly (scholarly books or scholarly articles). As a student, you have access to a variety of databases through the library website. Use these databases to search for scholarly articles. Scholarly articles are written by scholars and experts in a particu.

This makes it hard to keep up with state-of-the-art and to be at the forefront of research, as well as to assess the collective evidence in a particular area of business research. This is why the literature review as a research method is more relevant than ever. Traditional literature reviews often lack thoroughness and rigor and are conducted ad hoc, rather than following a specific methodology. Therefore, questions can be raised about the quality and trustworthiness of these types of reviews. This paper discusses literature review as a methodology for conducting research and offers an overview of different types of reviews, as well as some guidelines to how to both conduct and evaluate a literature review paper. It also discusses common pitfalls and how to get literature reviews published. 1. Introduction Building your research on and relating it to existing knowledge is the building block of all academic research activities, regardless of discipline. Therefore, to do so accurately should be a priority for all academics. However, this task has become increasingly complex. Knowledge production within the field of business research is accelerating at a tremendous speed while at the same time remaining fragmented and interdisciplinary. This makes it hard to keep up with state- of-the-art research and to be at the forefront, as well as to assess the collective evidence in a particular research area. This is why the literature review as a research method is more relevant than ever. A literature review can broadly be described as a more or less systematic way of collecting and synthesizing previous research (Baumeister & Leary, 1997; Tranfield, Denyer, & Smart, 2003). An effective and well- conducted review as a research method creates a firm foundation for advancing knowledge and facilitating theory development (Webster & Watson, 2002). By integrating findings and perspectives from many empirical findings, a literature review can address research questions with a power that no single study has. It can also help to provide an overview of areas in which the research is disparate and interdisciplinary. In addition, a literature review is an excellent way of synthesizing research findings to show evidence on a meta-level and to uncover areas in which more research is needed, which is a critical component of creating theoretical frameworks and building conceptual mod ...

Introduction The methodology of a study refers to the procedures that are followed in order to collect and analyze data. Qualitative and quantitative are two broad categories of research methods (Erford, 2015, p. 17). Distinguishing between them is a theme that runs throughout this course. This unit discusses several of the methodological issues, or steps, to be addressed when planning a study. Some of these issues include: What kind of data to collect (such as participants' perceptions). How to best collect the data (for example, in-depth semi-structured interviews). How to select participants. What kinds of treatments or conditions they will experience. How to analyze the data. These decisions determine the research design. "Research designs are types of inquiry within qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods approaches that provide specific direction for procedures in a research design" (Creswell, 2014, p. 12). Validity, Credibility, and Reliability Scholar-practitioners are concerned with the overall validity and trustworthiness of the research they read. In quantitative studies, internal validity refers to the degree to which one can infer cause and effect relationships between the independent and dependent variables, while external validity relates to the generalizability of findings. Both are important issues. In qualitative studies, the term validity is less frequently used when discussing the quality or trustworthiness of the research. Rather, the critical consumer of qualitative research is concerned with credibility, dependability, confirmability, verification, and transferability. This unit provides an introduction to methodological issues in counseling research. These issues will be revisited when you study specific research designs. As you develop your pre-proposal assignment, you will consider methodological issues as they apply to the research design you have chosen. Reviewing the Literature In this unit, you will continue locating current empirical articles, which will be used to write the literature review section of your pre-proposal assignment. An annotated bibliography is a tool for organizing the main ideas of the sources you have read. A detailed annotated bibliography can contribute greatly to the ease of writing a literature review. A well-written literature review is a coherent narrative that provides readers with the status of the knowledge base as it relates to your topic. This works best when literature reviews are organized by main ideas. The writer should not present a laundry list of article summaries with no connections being made among them. Instead, think of the literature review as telling the story of your topic, using the studies as support. There will probably be subheadings in the literature review section to indicate the main ideas for the reader. When you write your literature review, think of the main ideas that you want to get across and organize your writing around them. References Creswell, .

Running head: EVALUATION OF A QUALITATIVE STUDY 1 EVALUATION OF A QUALITATIVE STUDY 9 Evaluation of a Qualitative Study First and Last Name Capella University Evaluation of a Qualitative Study For this assignment you will locate an article from the peer-reviewed scholarly journals in your field using one of the databases available in the Capella University Library. This assignment should be between 4 and 6 pages in length, double-spaced using 12-point Times New Roman font, not counting the title page and reference section. You will notice the running head contains the words “evaluation of a quantitative study” and it is presented in all capitals. Also, notice that the words “running head” appear only on the first page and just the running head itself appears on subsequent pages. Next, notice that the title on the second page above is centered and capitalized but it is not in bold. This follows the example on page 42 of the APA Manual and also a second example found on page 54. Below you will notice that headings have been provided for this assignment. They follow the protocols for formatting level one and two headings found on page 62 and the example presented on page 58 of the APA Manual. It is sound practice to consult the APA Manual for formatting guidance. In the section immediately under the title, you are to provide a brief introduction to your assignment; however, you should not create a heading that states “Introduction.” You should present your introduction without a heading in order to comply with the guidance offered on page 63 of the APA Manual. Your introduction should tell the reader what the paper is about, such as what study is being evaluated and how your evaluation will proceed. A single brief paragraph is all that is required. You can find more information about how to develop an introduction at the Capella Writing Center. Evaluation of the Research Problem In most cases the research problem appears early on in a research report. However, it is not always set off in its own section with a clear heading identifying it. You may have to do a bit of detective work to locate the description of the research problem. In your own words, without using direct quotes, summarize the research problem. Evaluating the Significance of the Problem Address the following questions. Does the problem statement indicate a counseling issue to study? You will have to make a judgment call as to whether or not the research article addresses a counseling issue and explain why or why not you have taken this position. Has the author provided evidence that this issue is important? Briefly describe the evidence presented in the discussion of the research problem that demonstrates this is an important issue deserving of being researched. Summarize in your own words, not direct quotes, the evidence presented and explain your own view of whether or not this is an important issue. Evaluation of the Literature Review Sometim ...

Designing Mobile Health Technology for Bipolar Disorder: A Field Trial of the MONARCA System Jakob E. Bardram, Mads Frost, Károly Szántó The Pervasive Interaction Technology Laboratory IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark {bardram,madsf,ksza}@itu.dk Maria Faurholt-Jepsen, Maj Vinberg and Lars Vedel Kessing Psychiatric Center Copenhagen, University Hospital of Copenhagen, Denmark <firstname.lastname>@regionh.dk ABSTRACT An increasing number of pervasive healthcare systems are being designed, that allow people to monitor and get feedback on their health and wellness. To address the challenges of self-management of mental illnesses, we have developed the MONARCA system – a personal monitoring system for bipolar patients. We conducted a 14 week field trial in which 12 patients used the system, and we report findings focusing on their experiences. The results were positive; compared to using paper-based forms, the adherence to self-assessment improved; the system was considered very easy to use; and the perceived usefulness of the system was high. Based on this study, the paper discusses three HCI questions related to the design of personal health technologies; how to design for disease awareness and self-treatment, how to ensure adherence to personal health technologies, and the roles of different types of technology platforms. Author Keywords Bipolar disorder; mental health; personal health systems; mobile application ACM Classification Keywords H.5.m. Information Interfaces and Presentation (e.g. HCI): Miscellaneous INTRODUCTION According to WHO, mental illness is one of the most pressing healthcare concerns worldwide [34]. Bipolar disorder in particular, has a community lifetime prevalence of 4% [16] and is associated with high morbidity and disability [25]. Per- sonal health technologies hold promise for helping bipolar patients to monitor their mood patterns and symptoms, rec- ognize so-called ‘early warning signs’, and to handle medica- tion. Health technologies can – based on subjective and objective sensor input – provide timely feedback to the patient and thereby increase their awareness of the disease. Smart- phones are a promising platform for such personal feedback systems due to their ubiquitous availability and connectivity.

Design Patterns Christian Behrens https://www.behance.net/gallery/29576487/The-Form-of-Facts-and-Figures Christopher Alexander The term design patterns was originally coined about three decades ago by Christopher Alexander, an architect and critic who envisioned a generic and modular “language” of methods to describe the process of construction and urban planning by means of recurring problems that are well-known in a specific context, and respective solutions that have been proved and tested in the past and can therefore be seen as a safe choice to tackle a certain design challenge. Although it never made its breakthrough in the field of architecture, the basic idea of design patterns was adopted by other engineering disciplines, most notably software development in the early 1990s. A second wave of success seems to have appeared recently, when several projects were launched to build up pattern libraries for digital user interfaces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Alexander 2 Design Patterns Rejected by Architects, Adopted by Software Engineers, …and the field of user interface design. Although Alexander’s book became a bestseller and is a de-facto standard read for architecture students until today, it received much criticism and invoked sceptical reactions among the architecture community. Looking back at it some thirty years later, Alexander’s pattern language can be described as a success story on a detour. While widely rejected by architects and urban planners, the concept was picked up by computer scientist in the late 1980s and became a huge success in the wake of the rise of object-oriented programming languages such as Java 3 Design Patterns Rejected by Architects, Adopted by Software Engineers, …and the field of user interface design. http://zurb.com/patterntap http://patternry.com/ useful for the general description of common design problems, and provide solutions based on the relationships and behaviors of objects Companies and institutions that deal with interface design problems, have also launched own projects that aim at streamlining the development of new products and services by means of a comprehensive design pattern collection. Design Patterns can help to tackle commonly known recurring design problems with well-proven solutions. A single pattern provides a brief description of one particular design problem. This problem can be a physical attribute of an application (for instance a dropdown menu), or a functional behavior (e.g. the login dialog of a website). A pattern typically consists of a description of the problem, and a solution that has been proven before and is generally recognized. Usually, a pattern provides additional information like an example of a real-world scenario in which it has been successfully applied as well as a rationale to briefly describe the benefit the usage this patterns bears. 4 Discrete Quantities: Simple Bar Chart Snapshot: they do not display con.

Design of Pareto optimal CO2 cap-and-trade policies for deregulated electricity networks h i g h l i g h t s A mathematical–statistical model for designing Pareto optimal CO2 cap-and-trade policies. The model fills a gap in the current literature that primarily supports cap-and-trade policy evaluation but not policy design. Pareto optimal policies accommodate conflicting goals of the market constituents. Electricity demand-price sensitivity and social cost of carbon have significant influence on the cap-and-trade policies. Higher demand-price sensitivity increases the influence of penalty and social cost of carbon on reducing carbon emissions. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: Received 15 August 2013 Received in revised form 2 January 2014 Accepted 4 January 2014 Keywords: Electricity networks Cap-and-trade Game theory MPEC/EPEC Among the CO2 emission reduction programs, cap-and-trade (C&T) is one of the most used policies. Economic studies have shown that C&T policies for electricity networks, while reducing emissions, will likely increase price and decrease consumption of electricity. This paper presents a two layer mathematical– statistical model to develop Pareto optimal designs for CO2 cap- and-trade policies. The bottom layer finds, for a given C&T policy, equilibrium bidding strategies of the competing generators while maximizing social welfare via a DC optimal power flow (DC-OPF) model. We refer to this layer as policy evaluation. The top layer (called policy optimization) involves design of Pareto optimal C&T policies over a planning horizon. The performance measures that are considered for the purpose of design are social welfare and the corresponding system marginal price (MP), CO2 emissions, and electricity consumption level. 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction A major part of the total CO2 emissions come from the electricity production sector, e.g., 40% in the U.S. ([1]). In 2009, 70% of the electricity was produced from fossil fuel such as gas, coal, and petroleum ([2]). In 2005, the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) launched a cap- and-trade system that seeks to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 21% by 2020 from the 2005 level. Currently, the EU ETS is the largest emission market in the world [3], and according to the European Commission [4], at least 20% of its budget for 2014–2020 will be spent on climate-related projects and policies. In the United States, as well as in the EU, different regulations have been discussed to cut CO2 emissions such as carbon tax, renewable portfolio standards (RPS), and capand-trade programs (C&T). In the northeastern U.S., the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) has already implemented a C&T program through a nine state collaborative effort, which seeks to cut the CO2 emissions by 10% by 2018. Recently the California Air Resources Board .

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Team project’s is to design Hip Exoskeleton for children to assist their ability to walk. In general exoskeleton is a wearable device that can help and assist individuals with neuromuscular disorder. Hip exoskeleton is a device that assists the lower body of a person to help stabilization and walking performance. The team’s target is children from four to sixteen years old also will focus on the mechanical aspect of the hip exoskeleton such as the frame, motors and design in general. There are different requirements that the team focused in order to develop a design that functions effectively and improve the design. These requirements include the customer and the engineering requirements. These requirements serve to fulfil the deficiencies that were identified in the existing devices. The purpose of this project is to facilitate stabilization in children with cerebral palsy and decrease the metabolic cost of walking in children. The project goal is to focus on developing a hip exoskeleton, using motors, and sensors to improve the user’s hip movements and strength. In addition to deliver a design that meets all customers’ needs and engineering requirements. The design comprises of three subsystems pelvic, thigh and actuator subsystems. These subsystems will collaborate with the signal produced by the body to provide adequate support to the hip joints of the user. The team is only focusing on the mechanical aspect of this project for the electrical component will be provided by the client. 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 Introduction Exoskeletons are wearable devices that function alongside the user’s body parts. The design of an exoskeleton depends on various factors such as the purpose and the target body parts that require support. The team will develop a lightweight and cost-effective exoskeleton by making adjustments and improvements on the existing hip exoskeletons [2]. The purpose of making this exoskeleton from the existing design is to help support walking at the hip joint. Exoskeletons are used in different sectors such as healthcare, sports, military and rehabilitation facilities. They are used to assist individuals with hip and back issues to walk and maintain a stable posture. The previous design of the exoskeleton is robotic and costly because of the components u.

Design Dissertation Developing a coherent methodology Aim: To provide an overview of concepts of research, research process & methods research design. What is it? Should you be doing it? How do you do it? My research image: Examine, determine, review, investigate, study, develop, inquire Scientific & systematic search for pertinent information for a specific topic Critical inquiry in seeking facts for principles Process of arriving at dependable solutions through the planned and systematic collection, analysis & interpretation of data Aims of a Dissertation The dissertation or project should demonstrate knowledge of the relevant literature; show that the student has executed a substantial piece of advanced individual work and should bring together the independent work with the knowledge gained in the literature and theory. Where creative work is involved this should be informed by and be related to the theoretical aspect of the work. What is Methodology? A system of rules, principles, and procedures that guide scientific investigation Methodology / Method Methodology refers to how you go about finding out knowledge and carrying out your research. It is your strategic approach, rather than your techniques and data analysis (Wainright, 1997). Some examples of such methods are: the scientific method (quantitative method), ethnographic approach, case study approach, (both using qualitative methods), ideological framework (e.g. an interpretation from Marxist, Feminist viewpoint), dialectic approach (e.g. compare and contrast different points of view or constructs, including your own). Paradigm A paradigm is simply a belief system (or theory) that guides the way we do things, or more formally establishes a set of practices. This can range from thought patterns to action. Disciplines tend to be governed by particular paradigms. “the set of common beliefs and agreements shared between scientists about how problems should be understood and addressed” (Kuhn, 1962) Guba (1990), research paradigms can be characterized through their: Ontology – What is reality? (what exists?) Epistemology – How do you know something? Methodology – How do you go about finding it out? what exists? What is its nature? Epistemology – Theory of knowledge: All claims to knowledge are tentative (some more than others) Knowledge: Belief, Justification, Truth (necessary for knowledge) Methodology – How do you go about finding it out? Why is it important? Your ontology and epistemology create a holistic view of how knowledge is viewed and how we can see ourselves in relation to this knowledge, and the methodological strategies we use to un/discover it. Awareness of philosophical assumptions will increase quality of research and can contribute to the creativity of the researcher. Positivists believe that there is a single reality, which can be measured and known, and therefore they are more likely to use quantitative methods to measure and this reality. Constructivist.

Design and implement a Java program that transfers fragments of a file to multiple remote nodes. The class should take as input: 1. A file path to file of a fixed size (64MB). 2. An unordered list of 64 IP addresses/port numbers. 3. The maximum transfer rate for the sender (in Kbps). The rate limits the total amount of bandwidth a sender consumes when transferring file fragments. The program should divide the file up into 64x1MB fragments and send one fragment to each of the 64 nodes. A TCP socket should be used for communication with each of the nodes. The transfer should honor the rate set by the user. Assume that each of the remote nodes have equal upstream and downstream bandwidth. The focus should be to: · Minimize the total time it takes to send the entire 64MB file. · Minimize the communication overhead. · Minimize system resources consumed during the transfer. Please submit working code with build instructions (Eclipse project environment preferred), all test code (JUnit or other code used to debug the solution), a one page (or less) description of how you tested your solution and why you tested the way you did, and a one page (or less) description of why you chose the solution and an evaluation of how it performs against the goals stated above. Exceptional solutions will: Handle both IPv4 and IPv6 format addresses Handle endpoints that receive data at different rates Gracefully recover from errors (make good use of exception handling) Be thoroughly commented .

Design and Mechanism of Controlling a Robotic Arm Introduction: Definition: A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm; the arm may be the sum total of the mechanism or may be part of a more complex robot. The links of such a manipulator are connected by joints allowing either rotational motion (such as in an articulated robot) or translational (linear) displacement.[1][2] The links of the manipulator can be considered to form a kinematic chain. The terminus of the kinematic chain of the manipulator is called the end effector and it is analogous to the human hand. A Robot is a virtually intelligent agent capable of carrying out tasks robotically with the help of some supervision. Practically, a robot is basically an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by means of computer and electronic programming. Robots can be classified as autonomous, semiautonomous and remotely controlled. Robots are widely used for variety of tasks such as service stations, cleaning drains, and in tasks that are considered too dangerous to be performed by humans. A robotic arm is a robotic manipulator, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm. This Robotic arm is programmable in nature and it can be manipulated. The robotic arm is also sometimes referred to as anthropomorphic as it is very similar to that of a human hand. Humans today do all the tasks involved in the manufacturing industry by themselves. However, a Robotic arm can be used for various tasks such as welding, drilling, spraying and many more. A self-sufficient robotic arm is fabricated by using components like micro-controllers and motors. This increases their speed of operation and reduces the complexity. It also brings about an increase in productivity which makes it easy to shift to hazardous materials. This specific micro controller is used in various types of embedded applications. Robotics involves elements of mechanical and electrical engineering, as well as control theory, computing and now artificial intelligence. Design of the Robotic Arm: The Robotic Arm is designed using the Microcontroller Micro-controller using Arduino programming. This process works on the principle of interfacing servos and Joystick. This task is achieved by using Arduino board. Joystick play an important role The remote is fitted with joystick and the servos are attached to the body of the robotic arm. The joystick converts the mechanical motion into electrical motion. Hence, on the motion of the remote the potentiometers produce the electrical pulses, which are in route for the Arduino board. The board then processes the signals received from the joysticks and finally, converts them into requisite digital pulses that are then sent to the servomotors. This servo will respond with regards to the pulses which results in the moment of the arm. Degree of Freedom: Robot arms are described by their degrees of freedom. This number typically ref.

design and develop an interactive and user-friendly GUI-based network configurator. By using the GUI configurator, users are able to visually “draw” the network topology, and specify the parameters for the hosts, network hubs. In addition, users should be able to save the network configurations, open and continue working on them, and check the correctness of the network specifications. And if everything is okay, users can save it into a configuration file for V-NetLab to use. .
