How can I tell when it is going to be a Archimedean Spiral. What is a general formula? Only one I know is r=theta. What else would I look for? Solution The Archimedean spiral has the property that any ray from the origin intersects successive turnings of the spiral in points with a constant separation distance (equal to 2?b if ? is measured in radians), hence the name \"arithmetic spiral\". In contrast to this, in a logarithmic spiral these distances, as well as the distances of the intersection points measured from the origin, form a geometric progression. The Archimedean spiral has two arms, one for ? > 0 and one for ? < 0. The two arms are smoothly connected at the origin. Only one arm is shown on the accompanying graph. Taking the mirror image of this arm across the y-axis will yield the other arm. the term Archimedean spiral is used for the more general group of spirals r= a+ b(theta)^1/x where a,b are real numbers The normal Archimedean spiral occurs when x = 1. Other spirals falling into this group include the hyperbolic spiral, Fermat\'s spiral, and the lituus. Virtually all static spirals appearing in nature are logarithmic spirals, not Archimedean ones. Many dynamic spirals (such as the Parker spiral of the solar wind, or the pattern made by a Catherine\'s wheel) are Archimedean..

Description For this part of the assignment, you will create a Grid representing the pacman’s game grid by using a 2D array of Strings as shown in Section 1. Also, you will design the functionality of the pacman as described in Section 2 and represent it in the grid. 1 The Grid The dimensions of the grid is 15 x 15 and the gird is composed of 4 boundaries: north, south, east, and west boundaries as shown in the Figure. The grid has the following characteristics: 1. The boundaries are represented with “X”, and this will block the pacman. 2. There may be obstacles that obstruct the pacman’s movement. 3. There are 4 gates represented with “ ”, and these gates communicates with the opposite gate. E.g., the north gate communicates with the south gate, and the east gate communicates with the west. This means that if the pacman is located in the north gate, next time it moves up will appear in the south gate, similar with the east and west gate. 4. The grid contains cookies represented with “.”. The idea is to collect all the cookies from the grid in order to win the game. Every time the the pacman eats a cookie, the cookie disappears. The Grid has the following fields • grid: is a 2D array of Strings • x-pos: the x-coordinate where the pacman is located • y-pos: the y-coordinate where the pacman is located • counter: a counter that represents the total number of cookies consumed by the pacman In addition, the Grid has the following methods: • initializeGrid(): This method will print a “fresh” new grid with the pacman located in the middle of the grid and the rest of the grid will contain cookies “.”. Except the boundaries of the grid. Your maze shall have four boundaries i.e., north, south, east, and west. The boundaries are represented with an “X”. Each boundary has a gate in the middle that allows the pacman to communicate to the opposite gate. • updateGrid(): will happen after the selection of moving “a”,“s”,“d” or “w” is done. Since these four options will move to west, south, east, or north, then you need to “update” the grid. The way to do this is by passing the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate as arguments to this method. The method then, will update the new position of the pacman (that is, the x and y coordinate from the arguments). Here is where the previous x and y position of the pacman will “disappear” (which is now a blank space “ ”). This method will reflect the new position of the pacman in the grid in case it moved. This method will also reflect the number of cookies consumed. • checkBoundaries(): Before moving the pacman to the new position, this method will check if is possible according the current coordinates. In case is a valid movement, the method will return true. In case the movement is invalid, due to a boundary or through something else, then your method will return false. The Pacman The pacman has the following characteristics: • The pacman has the ability to move through the gates (i.e., north to south, east to west). •.

Discuss one (1) traditional and two (2) new strategies that special interest groups use to influence policy/legislation. Which one (1) do you think is the most effective and why? Solution Interest groups seek after an extensive variety of arrangement objectives. In their endeavors to understand these objectives, gatherings may campaign civil servants and government officials, approach the media and take part in challenge exercises. Gatherings are politically dynamic since they need to see their objectives satisfied. What\'s more, groups are pivotal for political science on account of their prosperity with – here and there – accomplishing their objectives. This essential perception focuses to the significance of catching what it is groups need in legislative issues and how the idea of approach objectives influences their arrangement pertinent exercises. At the point when are lawmakers the ideal objective of gathering exercises, when do groups approach administrators and which objectives lead gatherings to take part in media-coordinated exercises? There are two conventional ways to deal with exploring bunch exercises: overviews mapping bunch techniques and representing methodical variety. Sorted out gatherings are more viable than sloppy ones. An efficient gathering can wage an organized crusade that fuses a wide range of strategies. Association can likewise compensate for measure: An efficient little gathering frequently has a greater effect than an extensive ineffectively sorted out one. Lobbyists utilize various strategies and offer officials various advantages to accomplish their objectives, including influence, data, and material motivating forces, financial use, disturbance, and suit. Access The way to lobbying is access: To impact an official, one must have the capacity to address that official. Given how bustling individuals from Congress and other government authorities regularly are, getting access represents a noteworthy test. Some of the time a lobbyist can just get a few minutes of the official\'s opportunity, so the lobbyist must be set up to make the pitch rapidly. A few kinds of individuals have a less demanding time getting access than others. Some lobbying associations utilize these sorts of individuals to enable pick up to get to. On-screen character Michael J. Fox, for instance, has campaigned for expanded financing for Parkinson\'s malady inquires about. Both Angelina Jolie and Bono have additionally effectively campaigned Congress for their causes. A Profitable Profession Previous government authorities, particularly high-positioning ones, can regularly procure expansive compensations by filling in as lobbyists, which make lobbying an appealing calling for resigning individuals. These authorities are frequently in extraordinary request as lobbyists since they know numerous individuals in government and can hence get too effectively.

After reading Thomas Malthus\' population theory and the ideas of Julian Simon, with which do you agree? Give at least one example supporting your opinion. Solution I agree with Julian Simon Ideas. Julian Simon ideas led to a cornucopian theory which states that with increasing population, technology would grow and lead to new resources. Thomas Malthus, on the other hand, stated that growing population would lead to scarce resources which would not be able to sustain that population. Let\'s take an example of the United States of America. After world war 2 the baby boomers came into existence. This was the time period when the birth rate was very high, the population was increasing and as per the Malthusian theories, the resources would have gone extinct. But that didn\'t happen, instead, new technology and research and development came in. New inventions like internet, computers enabled the nations to become more efficient and increase production manifolds. Globalisation was boosted, oil market came into existence and all these new technologies changed the way people live. New technology just changed the way we experience the world..

Solution Case Study on Operating Systems. To Facilitate the Secure , easy and efficient use of resources modern operating systems like Linux and Windows are used.They provide easy user interface, Security features, and work by using other devices. Linux was developed by a Computer Science student Linus Torvaldsin 1991, which was known as linur version 0.0.1 , It was then widely distributed among software developers by using internet. The operating system NT was developed by using Win32 API in 1988 By Microsoft. Advantages of Linux are : 1. It is not expensive and nearly free OS 2. It supports multi user and multi tasking 3. It includes source in it. 4. Errors and bugs are easily fixed and it more stable OS. Advantages of Windows are : 1. It has easy user interface than linux 2. There are varieties of software programs , utilities available for windows users. File Management in Linux and Windows : Windows operating system uses drive letters like C:\\ to address a drive and the top most directory is the root directory to access all other files and directories. Linux File system path is given by /home/ , in which in /home the data is stored of all of its users and files are only modified by the owner of files. Process Management in Linux and Windows. Linus is a multi tasking system , and its states of Process are divided into states, 1. Running - Process is ready or already running 2. Waiting - Process is waiting for a resoure allocation or to an event to happen 3. Stopped - In stopped state a process is stopped by using a signal . 4. Zombie - The process in a halted state during a task is called as zombie. In windows a process has its individual data , space, code , which executes by using threads . There are 3 states of process in windows : 1. Ready - In ready state the process has a ready thread to be executed. 2. StandBy- In standby state a thread waits for the processor to take up its task. 3. Running- In running state a thread begins its execution by microkernel. User Interface of Linux and Windows : Linux has command driven user interface which needs user to tyoe a command to do work , It has fast speed but user needs to know all commands which are to be used by him. Windows has menu and icon driven user interface , consisting of task bar having all the shortcuts to the operations to be performed by using their respective icons. Windows and Linux have different use cases , their use depends upon the operations to be performed. Linux is flexible and a adaptable system and windows is familiar and simple to use..

Solution From Chapter 1 of the textbook, President Wilson asserted that it is “harder to run a constitution than to frame one.” From the first e-Activity, suggest two (2) examples of difficulties that exist in either the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government today that bolster Wilson’s assertion. Although a scholar at the time his essay was written, Woodrow Wilson was very much on point in addressing the government\'s shortcomings. The one issue he spoke on that seems to be a fixture within today\'s government at any level, is corruption. Politicians and elected officials taking part in moral perversion is business as usual. Some of the difficulties that exist in either the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government today, can be attributed to egos and ulterior motives. Resolving vitally important issues such as a failing economy, and health care is always a long drawn out process of hold outs and walk outs, that in the end never benefits Joseph or Josephine Public.

Provide a rationale to support your response. Dual federalism (1790s to 1930s): Also known as layer cake federalism, dual federalism refers to a system in which the two levels of government operate separately, and is pretty much the bog- standard definition of how the framers intended it to be interpreted. The powers of government are split between the federal and state levels in order to preserve a balance between the two. Co-operative federalism (around 1930 to 1960): This system, also called marble cake federalism, implies that the federal and state governments share power equally in order to resolve common problems collectively and was popular all the way through the Great Depression, the Second World War, the Col.

What quality measures does the MCO have in place? Solution Managed care organizations (MCOs) are responsible for ensuring that persons enrolled in their plans receive quality health care. In addition, MCOs publicly funded through the Medicare and Medicaid programs are required by State and Federal governments to meet certain quality standards. To fulfill their responsibilities, MCOs need ready access to a comprehensive array of evidence- based clinical information and other clinical performance measures to enable them to evaluate their providers\' performance and identify areas where improvement is needed. They also need to know how their members feel about the care they receive and the way they are treated. Finally, they need to ensure that both their providers and members are aware of the most recent preventive care recommendations. Valid, reliable, and cost-effective measurement tools must be available to make such determinations, but these tools have not always been available. Furthermore, because the science of performance measurement is relatively new, additional measures need to be developed and those that have been developed can be improved. Therefore, to ensure that their enrollees in MCOs receive high-quality care, MCOs need a reliable source to provide the most current and scientifically sound tools. In response to this need, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has funded research to compile a database of evidence-based clinical guidelines and to develop clinical performance measures, member satisfaction surveys, and preventive care recommendations that can help MCOs meet their responsibilities. Additionally, AHRQ funds research and develops performance measures and guidelines that MCOs, insurers, providers, and consumers can trust. This report describes these tools and how they have been used and provides information on where to learn more about them. Background Around one-half of insured Americans are enrolled in some form of managed care. However, as the number of persons enrolled in MCOs increased in the 1990s, health care purchasers, policymakers, and other stakeholders became concerned about the potential for health care quality to diminish. In their view, the policies and practices imposed by MCOs to reduce what MCOs define as unnecessary care might result in patients not receiving needed care. Therefore, MCOs faced accreditation systems and other requirements to ensure that patients were receiving the most appropriate care. More recently, MCOs have had to address other emerging concerns such as: Rapid introduction of new technologies, Data showing unexplained variations in the provision of care, Severe cost pressures. These factors have provided additional motivation to MCOs to develop systematic ways of preserving and enhancing health care quality and cost-effectiveness. Evidence-based practice guidelines and performance measures were developed to help ensure that patients always receive the most appropri.

What are three benefits of diversity? What are three challenges of diversity? Discuss how each of these are actually benefits and challenges. Reference: Working in teams: moving from high potential to high performance.. BA Griffith and EB Dunham.. Ch.7 Solution The three benefits of diversity are : 1. Perspective : Working with individuals with different background can give the company a wide perspective about the different communities that exists in the worlds and the values associated with each community. Perspective provides a competitive advantage as it brings creativity experience and an insight into the various communities. 2.Innovation : Working with people from different background, experience and working style can generate new ideas coming out of the feedbacks and suggestions of each of them which can ultimately lead to innovations. Playing on each individual\'s strength and collaborating them can be very beneficial for a team. 3. Performance : engaging employees from different backgrounds promotes equality in the workplace which helps the employees to be confident in their abilities and achieve their best. Three challenges of diversity are : 1. Resistance : Diversity becomes a challenge for the organisation as the employees become resistant to it and to the changes that are associated with it. The resistance at times develop negative attitude in employees which in turn decreases their productivity. 2. Poor communication : As in a diverse workplace people from different age, sex, religion come together it is very challanging to miantain proper communication among them. Miscommunication can lead to misinterpretation which results in poor employee relationships. 3. Managing diverse workforce : Although diversity training is provided to the employees to understand the organisation\'s diversity plan, it is not always sufficient. Various other strategies should also be developed so that the culture of diversity reaches every department of the organisation..

What role do birds play in the transmission of the West Nile virus? What insect is the vector? How is hepatitis B transmitted, and which occupational group is at greatest risk of contracting this infection? How do forms A, C, D, and E compare with hepatitis B? How is HIV transmitted? How are HIV/AIDS currently treated, and how effective is the treatment? In what areas of the world does the HIV/AIDS epidemic seem virtually unchecked? In terms of STD prevention, how can sexual practices be made safer? Why are women more often asymptomatic for STDs than men? Solution What role do birds play in the transmission of the west nile virus ?which insect is the vector? Birds are the reservoir hosts of WNV. the virus is highly pathogenic for bird. Members of the crow family (Corvidae) are particularly susceptible, but virus has been detected in dead and dying birds. Birds can be infected by a variety of routes other than mosquito bites, and different species may have different potential for maintaining the transmission cycle. Mosquito is the vector . How is Hepatitis B Transmitted? and which occupational group is at higher risk?how do other forms compare with hepatitis b? Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease.The virus is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person.Hepatitis B is an important occupational hazard for health workers. There are 5 main hepatitis viruses, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E. These 5 types are of greatest concern because of the burden of illness and death they cause and the potential for outbreaks and epidemic spread. In particular, types B and C lead to chronic disease in hundreds of millions of people and, together, are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer. Hepatitis A and E are typically caused by ingestion of contaminated food or water. Hepatitis B, C and D usually occur as a result of parenteral contact with infected body fluids. Common modes of transmission for these viruses include receipt of contaminated blood or blood products, invasive medical procedures using contaminated equipment and for hepatitis B transmission from mother to baby at birth, from family member to child, and also by sexual contact. How is HIV transmitted? how HIV/AIDS currently treated? and how effective is the treatment? in what areas of the world does the HIV/AIDS epidemic seem virtually unchecked? In terms of STD prevention, how can sexual practices be made safer? Why are women more often asymptomatic for STDs than men ? Women are vulnerable to STDs for social and economic reasons. Compared to men, women generally have low status, education, income and power. Social and economic dependency may limit a woman’s ability to refuse unsafe sex or negotiate safer sex. She may also find it difficult to obtain information about disease prevention, or to seek and receive health care. Women striving to survive economically also may be d.

Solution (A) The factors that can constrain the success of the project luncheon are - (B) Our team tried to implement an RFID project in our department. The project was carried out to detect every item manufactured with an RFID tag and to take the inventory position and production planning to automation level. A lot of work was involved including procurement of hardware, software development, integration with the existing system, training, readiness before go-live, and stabilization. The project was a new approach to our area. We were supposed to fix RFID tags on all the containers and RFID readers at the exit gates of the department just before issuing to the customers. This particular project failed. The main reason for the failure was the inexperience of the project manager. There was a complete lack of understanding in almost all levels as what we want to achieve out of the project. Also, the budget approved was not close to what we required to implement the project in a complete and closed-loop manner. Finally, the users of the systems, the lie supervisors, were not confident about the new system and postproduction support was not available from their side. This was because that the project team never bothered to take their feedback at any stage of the project..

Write a short report (2 pages) detailing what you think are real issues associated with work and labor practices in contemporary South Africa. (b)Which sociological theories can we draw on to fully understand the issues you have raised in your report? Solution This extract discusses labor laws in South Africa, with a particular focus on national legislation, as it relates to the dimensions of the quality of employment framework. Rather than discussing all employment policies, this brief will highlight the most significant legislation in order to provide a general introduction to current labor policies. Even though South Africa can celebrate 14 years of democracy, many aspects of life, in particular work and quality of employment are still tainted by the legacies of apartheid that discriminated against people predominantly based on race and ethnicity.
