DE-EXTINCTION AND RECOVERY OF SPECIES:
Should scientists pursue species recovery of extinct
species?
Give a specific example of one species you believe
should or should not be brought back from
extinction.
Write a persuasive essay to discuss the ecological,
economic and ethical ramifications of re-creating the
genome of an extinct species, re-creating
populations, and then releasing these animals into

Mammal Population Losses and the Extinction Crisis
Gerardo Ceballos and Paul R. Ehrlich
The disappearance of populations is a prelude to species
extinction. No geographically explicit estimates have been
made of current population losses of major indicator taxa.
Here we compare historic and present distributions of 173
declining mammal species from six continents. These
species have collectively lost over 50% of their historic
range area, mostly where human activ.

1. (a)In your handout for protein kinase A, there is a table of known substrate
sequences, in other words sequences of peptides phosphorylated by PKA. Please do your
best to align the substrate sequences provided, and from the alignment, predict what a good
consensus substrate for PKA will be. To present your alignment, please use an equal width
font for the protein sequences (Courier or Courier New work well). Highlight the P(0)
residue, P(-1) etc.
(b)The regulatory subunit (R) of protein kinase A has a short sequence
(RRRRGAISA that is critical for inhibiting the activity of the kinase catalytic subunit. This
short sequence of the R-subunit actually sits in the active site cleft of PKA in the
crystallographically-determined structure of the inhibited RC complex. Can you deduce
what the function of this sequence is? Using the answer to part (a) as a guide, please align
the inhibitory sequence with the known substrate sequences to deduce how this sequence
likely functions to inhibit PKA. Furthermore, using your class notes, can you make a guess
at which residues on PKA might interact with specific residues from the R-inhibitory
peptide?
2. For a regularly spaced 1-Dimensional array of atoms (spacing =13 Å) calculate the
total number of diffraction maxima and their scattering angles (for perfect in phase
scattering from the atoms in the 1-D array) between scattering angles of zero and ninety
degrees Use a wavelength of d=1.25 Å. Please include a drawing to explain the diffraction
condition and show your calculations.
3. Using site specific mutagenesis to change residues in the substrate binding cleft of
PKA (not residues involved in catalytic roles), how would you alter PKA’s substrate
specificity at P-3, and P-2 to Glu and P+1 to Asn? By this, I mean how would you
specifically make mutations in the PKA enzyme amino acid sequence (not the substrate
sequence) that would select for binding and phosphorylation of a peptide sequence that
would clearly differ from the known substrate sequence preferred by PKA as outlined
above. Be sure to clearly highlight exactly what residues in the PKA sequence you would
have to change (and to what amino acid) to achieve this.
4. The following lines of data describe the atomic coordinates for an arginine residue in
a protein molecule in PDB (protein data bank) format. Since proteins are three-dimensional
objects, the position of each atom is specified in space by its X, Y and Z coordinates. On each
line of a PDB formatted file, the atom number is given, the atom type is next (e.g. N-
backbone nitrogen, backbone carbonyl oxygen etc), the residue name (here ARG 431 in chain
D; in this instance the protein crystal contains four independent copies of the polypeptide
chain, labelled A through D), then the X-coordinate for that atom, the Y-coordinate for that
atom and the Z-coo.

Roughly 10-years have passed since The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks was published. With regard to legal rights and property claims, there has been some progress towards laws and guidelines regarding using patients’ tissues for research and commercial endeavors. However, there are still many areas of ambiguity in the laws and regulations towards using patients’ cells and/or tissues.
Find a recent example in the news that relates to issues of informed consent, property rights, and patients’ rights that were discussed in The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. A “recent” example can include ANY stories and/or events that have occurred after the publishing of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks in 2009, after which the public became more aware of the issues presented in the book.
Please write a 3-page (double-spaced) paper in which you:
1. Summarize the selected example, providing the Appropriate Citation of the news article(s) in which you learned about the event and/or case being reported on.
2. Provide an analysis in which you compare-and-contrast how the ethical problems were addressed in a manner differently OR similarly than the case with HeLa cells.
3. Provide a concluding argument about whether you think adequate improvements are in the progress of being made towards the issues of consent and/or property rights regarding the use of patient’s tissues, or if there are still notable deficiencies in how we deal with these matters.
You must cite AT LEAST one article that brings up the “recent” example, so you can compare it to The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. The source can be primary or secondary, but must be from a legitimate source (i.e., not just Wikipedia, you need the actual link). If you use additional articles or sources to support your paper, also cite them as needed at the end of the paper.
PLEASE NOTE: citations do NOT count to the 3-page limit (i.e., do not give me a 2-page reference list attached to a 1-page paper).

Human Exponential Population Growth
Prior to 1950, the death rate was high, which kept the numbers of humans from increasing rapidly. In the 19th Century, the agricultural revolution increased food production. The industrial revolution improved methods of transporting food and other good. In the 20th Century, advances in medicine, sanitation and
nutrition
have decreased the death rates further. These factors combined to produce the rapid growth of the human population in the 20th century. Explain 4 factors (
inventions
or public health measures) that decrease the death rates of infants and small children that lead to our exponential population growth.

The allelopathic effects of the Pinus Rigada on Raphanus Sativus
A. Student

Georgia Military College
Introduction
In a garden, Raphanus sativus were planted near other vegetables that were considered “companion plants”, but the R. sativus plantwas not exhibiting any real growth. Overhead Eastern pitch pine trees (Pinus Rigida) were growing and knowing that pine trees typically exhibit allelopathic tendencies, determining whether P. rigida was to blame or whether there was another contributing factor was important in getting to the root of the problem. To discover if the P. rigida were possibly inhibiting the growth, a study was done to determine if there was any connection between the stunted growth of the R. sativusand the P.rigida. The primary goal of this study was to gather and analyze data on the effects of the P. rigida on the growth of R. sativus. This was done to determine whether P. rigida exhibited allelopathic traits towards the seeds of R. sativus.
The R. sativus is a cultigen, meaning it has been altered by humans and is the result of artificial selection. They belong to the Brassicaceae family, which includes turnips (Brassica rapa), cabbage and relatives (Brassica oleracea) and horseradish (Armoracia rusticana). The name Raphanus refers to the radishes ability to rapidly germinate and is derived from the greek language: ra, meaning quickly and phainomai, meaning to appear. (Plants & Fungi)
Allelopathy is the secretion of chemical substances by plants that inhibit the growth of a competing species. (Allelopathy) A study was done on Pinus halepinsus and the possible allelopathic effects of its needles. In growth chambers, plastic pots consisting of 6(g), 8(g), and 12(g) of pine needle tissue and screened perlite were used to perform this study. Three different physiological stages of pine needles were collected from the P. halepinsus; fresh, senesced, and decaying. The pots containing the pine needle tissue were then seeded with tall fescue, Bermuda grass, or oat at 20, 20, and 3 seeds per pot. The needles tissue of the P. halepinsus in the perlite substrate reduced growth and development of the tall fescue and Bermuda grass. This suggests that toxic chemicals were excreted through the pine needle tissue. Growth inhibition was dependent on the type of pine and the amount incorporated into the pot. From the results, it was concluded that inhibitory compounds were within the pine needle tissue and were more apparent in fresh needles than senesced and decaying needles. (Nektarios, 2005)
The Eastern P. rigidia is from the same family of trees as P. halepinsus called Pinaceae. Being from the same family, it is possible that they exhibit the same allelopathic traits. The inhibited growth of the R. sativus may be caused from possible allelopathic effects of the pine needles from the P. rigidia. If radish (R. sativus) seeds are exposed to extracts from the pitch pine tree (P. rigidi.
Bill of RightsWhen the Constitution was completed in the summer of.docx
Bill of Rights
When the Constitution was completed in the summer of 1787, approval by representatives from nine of the thirteen states was needed for it to become the nation’s law. The issue of individual rights was managed—though this, too, created conflict among the Framers—with the addition of the Bill of Rights. Change was written into the supreme law of the land; since then, legal institutionalization of changes has occurred. Since the Constitution’s adoption, change has taken place through the amendment process identified in the Constitution. Change has also occurred under the direction of the branches of government established in the Constitution: the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary.

The Difference between Data and Information
Introduction
Most of the individuals have the belief that the term information and data are interchangeable and have the same meaning. Nevertheless, there exists a unique difference between the two terms. Data can refer to any character, word, text, or number and if it is not placed into context, doesn't mean anything or means very little to humans. Information may be in its context a data which is formatted in such a way allowing it to be used by people in certain vital situations. Understanding the differences between data and information is essential because it helps to eradicate the apparent confusion brought about by the application of the two terms in organizations and other relevant professions.
Data
Data refers to the grouping of details and facts such as figures, texts, symbols, observations, or merely descriptions of certain things, entities or events collected with the aim of creating inferences. It represents the raw facts which require processing to obtain the information which needed for action to be taken upon a given situation (Silverman, 2018). It is mostly known to entail such things as characters and statements, as well as numbers before undergoing refining by the individual involved in its extraction who in this case is known as the researcher.
The word data is derived from the Latin word called datum which means something given. Data is therefore offered and provided by individuals involved in the survey process. Its concept is thus linked to the scientific research which included a collection of data and analysis before interpreting it to come up with the exact information regarding a given situation (Silverman, 2018). It is often gathered by several organizations, institutions, government departments as well as non-governmental agencies and bodies for various distinct reasons. Data exists in two major forms namely primary and secondary data.
Primary data is that data which is gathered by researchers from .

Term Paper Proposal
After carefully examining the syllabus and textbook the country of my choice in which I
would enjoy conducting thorough research on is the nation of Turkey. The recent tensions flaring
up in Syria, President Donald Trump is withdrawing U.S troops after he threatens to “devastate”
Turkey’s economy if they attack Kurdish forces; leaving Turkey to worried the future of their
national security. In such a country where religion and political turmoil merge it is close to
impossible to predict the future of their actions. These events have sparked my interest in
learning more about the political, economic, and social relations in Turkey.
Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey which was once ruled by both Christian and Muslim
empires. After World War 1, the Ottoman Empire sits defeated which led to the Turkish War of
Independence in 1919 — leading to the overthrow and downfall of Sultan Mehmet VI Vahdettin.
Next, the Republic of Turkey is founded by Kemal Ataturk, a national hero, later named as the
first President of Turkey. On October 29, 1923, a new Turkish constitution replaced the
constitution of the Ottoman Empire, forever marking the independence of the nation.
In addition, using library databases from the State College of Florida will allow me to
find books, magazines, and academic articles regarding the political sanctions enforced in
Turkey. One of the things I would hope to learn during research assignment is not only how
politics is done in Turkey but its relationships in regards to other countries. Finally, achieving
approval for this paper will allow me to learn more about the political structure in Turkey.

Abstract: In this paper we present a SOA (Service Oriented Architecture)-based platform, enabling the retrieval and
analysis of big datasets stemming from social networking (SN) sites and Internet of Things (IoT) devices,
collected by smart city applications and socially-aware data aggregation services. A large set of city
applications in the areas of Participating Urbanism, Augmented Reality and Sound-Mapping throughout
participating cities is being applied, resulting into produced sets of millions of user-generated events and
online SN reports fed into the RADICAL platform. Moreover, we study the application of data analytics such
as sentiment analysis to the combined IoT and SN data saved into an SQL database, further investigating
algorithmic and configurations to minimize delays in dataset processing and results retrieval.
1 INTRODUCTION
Modern cities are increasingly turning towards
ICT technology for confronting pressures associated
with demographic changes, urbanization, climate
change (Romero Lankao, 2008) and globalization.
Therefore, most cities have undertaken significant
investments during the last decade in ICT
infrastructure including computers, broadband
connectivity and recently sensing infrastructures.
These infrastructures have empowered a number of
innovative services in areas such as participatory
sensing, urban logistics and ambient assisted living.
Such services have been extensively deployed in
several cities, thereby demonstrating the potential
benefits of ICT infrastructures for businesses and the
citizens themselves. During the last few years we
have also witnessed an explosion of sensor
deployments and social networking services, along
with the emergence of social networking (Conti et al.,
2011) and internet‐of‐things technologies (Perera et
al., 2013; Sundmaeker et al., 2010) Social and sensor
networks can be combined in order to offer a variety
of added‐value services for smart cities, as has
already been demonstrated by various early internet‐
of‐things applications (such as WikiCity(Calabrese et
al., 2007), CitySense(Murty et al., 2007),
GoogleLatitude(Page and Kobsa, 2010)), as.
Big Data Risks and Rewards (good length and at least 3-4 references .docx
Big Data Risks and Rewards (good length and at least 3-4 references everything in APA 7 format)
When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.
From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.
As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.

Big data can be described as a large and complex set of data tha.docx
Big data can be described as a large and complex set of data that requires specialized approaches to use effectively to uncover hidden insights and help solve problems that may arise in healthcare. Big data in healthcare focuses on the patient’s data to improve their clinical experience, use operational data to maximize workflow, and use financial data to streamline revenue (Agarwal, Gao, DesRoches & Jha, 2010). Nurse executives in the healthcare system need to be diverse thinkers on manipulating vast amounts of data to shape and reshape the system (Gefen & Ragowsky, 2005). Critical analysis and synthesis of the data are done to develop conclusions on how to plan and run the organization. Although the assessment of big data is vital, it bears benefits as well as detriments.
The main challenges that big data has on healthcare are increased healthcare data and growing costs. Health records moved from manual to digital, which increased the volume of the data made available. Health care data is not limited to what the healthcare providers present but includes data from the internet-of-things devices such as wearable devices, smartphone applications, and increased social media traffic. This extensive collection of data from these sources means a large data deposit that needs to be analyzed in the healthcare system (Bryant, Katz & Lazowska, 2008). Large amounts of input suggest that processing this data to give meaningful output requires high healthcare investments to allow for such analysis to be made by trained clinical staff. Big data needs to be sorted to develop conclusions on how to run the organization to achieve quality and enhanced information.
On the other hand, big data ensures effectiveness and personalized care with complete records of the patients. The data collected from the various health care platforms brings about more detailed information about a patient’s health. Although the information contained might seem bulky, once it has been sorted and organized, it provides a perspective on efficiency in healthcare services and neat patient information storage. Big data makes it possible for clinical systems to provide quality care to patients (Goh, Gao & Agarwal, 2011). Some patient records bring to focus those who have a risk of chronic illnesses. Hospitals need to identify such cases early and develop treatment, ensuring that the patient’s condition is mitigated before getting worse.
Challenges experienced in healthcare systems need to be solved for big data to become a valuable healthcare system tool. Getting rid of medication errors is one way to begin. A significant cause of health problems often leading to death is giving wrong medications to patients. Implementing high-end computing tools in the healthcare system is essential to access and process the collected data (Goh et al., 2011). As much as a vast amount of data is available, it is imperative to avoid making errors. The records compiled should be analyzed for proper medi.

BIG DATA AND BIG CITIES: THE PROMISES AND LIMITATIONS
OF IMPROVED MEASURES OF URBAN LIFE
EDWARD L. GLAESER, SCOTT DUKE KOMINERS, MICHAEL LUCA and NIKHIL NAIK∗
New, “big data” sources allow measurement of city characteristics and outcome
variables at higher collection frequencies and more granular geographic scales than
ever before. However, big data will not solve large urban social science questions
on its own. Big urban data has the most value for the study of cities when it allows
measurement of the previously opaque, or when it can be coupled with exogenous shocks
to people or place. We describe a number of new urban data sources and illustrate how
they can be used to improve the study and function of cities. We first show how Google
Street View images can be used to predict income in New York City, suggesting that
similar imagery data can be used to map wealth and poverty in previously unmeasured
areas of the developing world. We then discuss how survey techniques can be improved to
better measure willingness to pay for urban amenities. Finally, we explain how Internet
data is being used to improve the quality of city services. (JEL R1, C8, C18)

Big Data Analytics Tools./ Final Exam/PROJECT - BETTER UNDERSTAND ATTRITION.docx
FINAL EXAM – EXERCISE – To Better Understand Attrition.
This is a final project – you are going to exam the HR-BalanceSheet dataset and write a short report on what you found. I will guide you through the analysis, but as we go through the analysis you are going to need to capture data for the final report.
1. Load the dataset into Statistica
2. Generate Histograms for all of the data
a. Make notes on what you observe from the histograms. Can you learn anything about the business from these histograms?
b. Capture all of the histograms.
3. Now generate a correlation matrix to see if any variables are highly correlated. If variables are highly correlated and you are doing a supervised method (e.g., decision tree), then one of them must be omitted from the analysis. Do you know why?
Statistics->Nonparametrics->Correlations Okay.
Now select ALL of the variables and select “Spearman rank R”.
4. Let’s copy this out to Excel.
a. Open a blank Excel file
b. Go to Statistica – the output correlation matrix –
i. Hit Ctrl – A - this will select everything.
ii. Right Click - select “Copy with Headers”
iii. Go To Excel – select Paste
5. Select all of the numbers in Excel
a. Go To Conditional Formatting
i. Highlight all values greater than 0.70
6. This tells you the values that are highly correlated. Record what they are – these cannot be used in a supervised modeling exercise together. For example, JobLevel and TotalWorkingYears are highly correlated.
a. Make a list of all of the variables that are highly correlated (>0.7).
BUSINESS PROBLEM: The company has employee data for the last several years. In this data set we have a wide range of data, including whether or not they left the company (i.e., Attrition). If Attrition is set to “Yes”, they left the company. If Attrition is set to “No”, they did not leave the company.
The first thing we want to do is take a “high” level look at those people who left the company.
Go to Selection Criteria – that is accessible through the Sel:Off setting at the bottom of the Statistica window. Click on “Sel:Off”
Set the selection criteria to Attribute = “Yes”.
7. Generate Histograms for all of the data
a. Make notes on what you observe from the histograms. Can you learn anything about the business from these histograms?
b. Capture the histograms that tell you something about the business.
Go back to the selection criteria and turn the Sel: back to “Off”.
8. Now build a decision tree (C&RT) to see if we can find out what influences where or not individuals decide to leave the company.
If you exclude the variables that are highly correlated, you can generate a tree.
Generate a C&RT tree
Pick your variables (Quick)
· Attrition is your dependent variable
· Select the categorical and continuous v.

Big D Market Expansion Research Findings Presented by.docx
Big D Market Expansion Research Findings
Presented by:
Findings on Demography
Most people in the targeted market have reached the college level of education
The death rate of the population in the targeted market is low while the birth rate is slightly high
Most individuals are aged 30 years and above
The number of women is higher than that of the men
A majority of the people in the targeted market have reached the college level of education. What this implies is that many people qualify for white collar jobs. The significance of securing a white collar job is that it promises a steady income. Research shows that most employees in the formal sector are employed on a permanent basis. The death rate of the population in the targeted market is low while the birth rate is slightly high. This kind of population promises high sales. if the population had more young people, sales would be low since most young people are normally in school and so do not have any source of income.
Many people are aged 30 years and above. What this implies is that the population is mainly composed of the adult population which is good. The number of women is higher than that of men. This is good for the company for the reason that women have a high tendency to buy new products when they are presented to them. The main reason for this is that women have a higher curiosity than men. Unlike men, women are more willing to taste new products and services. This is especially if the services or even products satisfy their needs to the fullest.

US POPULATION TREND
Findings on Occupation
Most people in the targeted market are either, teachers, nurses or police officers
There are a few accountants and lawyers
The teaching profession has the highest rate of increase in terms of population
The profession with the lowest rate of increase is that of accountants.
Most people in the targeted market are either, teachers, nurses or police officers. The good thing about all these populations is that most individuals are employed on a permanent basis. The importance of being employed on a permanent basis is that it helps it helps ensure a permanent flow of income. There are a few accountants and lawyers. The significant of having this population here is that it helps increase the amount of money in circulation. This is because lawyers and accountants are among the professionals rated as high income earners. What normally happens is that earning a high income translates to a high spending ability.
The teaching profession has the highest rate of increase in terms of population. The main reason for this is that the number of schools has been increasing. Given the fact that teachers also earn a high income, this means that the there is a high amount of money put into circulation by this population. The profession with the lowest rat.

Rationale for the Biblical Worldview Essay
Every person has a worldview whether he realizes it or not. What is a worldview? James W. Sire defines a worldview as
:
[A]
commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as a story or in a set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true or entirely false) that we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently) about the
basic
constitution of reality, and that provides the foundation on which we live and move and have our being.
Stated more
succinctly
, “
…
[
A]
worldview is simply the total set of beliefs that a person has about the biggest questions in life.”
F. Leroy
Forlines
describes such questions as the “inescapable questions of life.”
Life’s inescapable questions include the following:
“
Is there a God? If so, what is He like? How can I know Him? Who am I? Where am I? How can I tell right from wrong? Is there life after death? What should I and what can I do about guilt? How can I deal with my inner pain?
”
Life’s biggest, inescapable questions relate to
whether there is a God, human origins, identity,
p
urpose, and the hereafter, just to mention a few.
Satisfying answers to the “inescapable questions of life” are provided by the Holy Scriptures. The Holy Scriptures
,
consisting of the Old and New Testaments
,
form the starting point and foundation for the
b
iblical
w
orldview.
More specifically
related to our purposes
, the apostle Paul reflects several components of the biblical worldview in his letter to the Romans.
The apostle Paul authored Romans toward the end of his third missionary journey, about
57 A.D.
He addressed this letter specifically to the Christians in Rome. At the time the church in Rome consisted of Jewish and Gentile believers, with Gentile Christians in the majority. Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome in order to address specific concerns and challenges they were facing. While Romans was an occasional letter (not a systematic theology), Paul presents the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a very systematic fashion. The Gospel is actually the overarching theme of Romans as Paul spells this out in his programmatic statement in 1:16–17. As the systematic presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Romans is foundational to the
b
iblical/Christian
w
orldview.
Recognizing that Romans is not a systematic theology and does not contain all the essential truths that are relevant to a worldview per se, the apostle Paul articulates truths that are foundational to the
b
iblical
w
orldview. In Romans 1–8, Paul addresses certain components of a worldview that relate to the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.
In a 750–1000-word essay, describe what Romans 1–8 teaches regarding the natural world, human identity, human relationships,
and
culture. Furthermore, explain how this teaching

The United States Constitution
September 17, 1787
____________________
It quickly became apparent that the Articles of Confederation, ratified by all the states by
March 1781, was insufficient in several areas (Lowman, pp. 121-22). One of the main weaknesses
was that it had no means of enforcing laws, or to settle disputes arising out of national laws. This
placed the states in the position of being independent nations (Lowman, p. 122). The states had no
rights with one another that were easily protected, and neither did their citizens. Shays' Rebellion,
which occurred in Massachusetts in 1786, magnified this problem and was the event that caused
the founding fathers to discuss plans for a better system of government:
Shays' Rebellion was limited to Massachusetts, but it threw fear into the hearts of Americans
in general. It rudely awakened them to the truly desperate political and economic conditions
in America. George Washington, in a letter to John Jay, wrote that "our affairs are
drawing rapidly to a crisis. We have errors to correct; we have probably had too good an
opinion of human nature in forming our Confederation. Experience has taught us that
men will not adopt, and carry into execution, measures the best calculated for their own
good, without the intervention of coercive power. I do not conceive we can exist long as a
nation without lodging, somewhere, a power which will pervade the whole Union in as
energetic a manner as the authority of the state governments extends over the several states
[Emphasis added.] (Lowman, p. 124).
A convention was called to revise the Articles of Confederation, but under the leadership of George
Washington, the delegates pushed for a more ambitious plan: creating an entirely new system of
government:
The Convention had been called only for the purpose of revising the Articles of
Confederation. But most of the delegates realized from the beginning of their discussions
that this was not enough to solve the nation's pressing problems. What was needed was a
new and stronger national government. Since whatever action they took would only result in
a recommendation to the states and would not be binding on anyone, they made the bold
decision to put aside the Articles and draft a brand new Constitution for the United States.
In making the "Great Decision," they heeded the advice of George Washington, who is
reported to have told the delegates even before the Convention officially began: "It is too
probable that no plan we propose will b.

The allelopathic effects of the Pinus Rigada on Raphanus Sativus
A. Student
October 22, 2015
Georgia Military College
Introduction
In a garden, Raphanus sativus were planted near other vegetables that were considered “companion plants”, but the R. sativus plantwas not exhibiting any real growth. Overhead Eastern pitch pine trees (Pinus Rigida) were growing and knowing that pine trees typically exhibit allelopathic tendencies, determining whether P. rigida was to blame or whether there was another contributing factor was important in getting to the root of the problem. To discover if the P. rigida were possibly inhibiting the growth, a study was done to determine if there was any connection between the stunted growth of the R. sativusand the P.rigida. The primary goal of this study was to gather and analyze data on the effects of the P. rigida on the growth of R. sativus. This was done to determine whether P. rigida exhibited allelopathic traits towards the seeds of R. sativus.
The R. sativus is a cultigen, meaning it has been altered by humans and is the result of artificial selection. They belong to the Brassicaceae family, which includes turnips (Brassica rapa), cabbage and relatives (Brassica oleracea) and horseradish (Armoracia rusticana). The name Raphanus refers to the radishes ability to rapidly germinate and is derived from the greek language: ra, meaning quickly and phainomai, meaning to appear. (Plants & Fungi)
Allelopathy is the secretion of chemical substances by plants that inhibit the growth of a competing species. (Allelopathy) A study was done on Pinus halepinsus and the possible allelopathic effects of its needles. In growth chambers, plastic pots consisting of 6(g), 8(g), and 12(g) of pine needle tissue and screened perlite were used to perform this study. Three different physiological stages of pine needles were collected from the P. halepinsus; fresh, senesced, and decaying. The pots containing the pine needle tissue were then seeded with tall fescue, Bermuda grass, or oat at 20, 20, and 3 seeds per pot. The needles tissue of the P. halepinsus in the perlite substrate reduced growth and development of the tall fescue and Bermuda grass. This suggests that toxic chemicals were excreted through the pine needle tissue. Growth inhibition was dependent on the type of pine and the amount incorporated into the pot. From the results, it was concluded that inhibitory compounds were within the pine needle tissue and were more apparent in fresh needles than senesced and decaying needles. (Nektarios, 2005)
The Eastern P. rigidia is from the same family of trees as P. halepinsus called Pinaceae. Being from the same family, it is possible that they exhibit the same allelopathic traits. The inhibited growth of the R. sativus may be caused from possible allelopathic effects of the pine needles from the P. rigidia. If radish (R. sativus) seeds are exposed to extracts from the pitch pine tree (P. rigidi.
Bill of RightsWhen the Constitution was completed in the summer of.docx
Bill of Rights
When the Constitution was completed in the summer of 1787, approval by representatives from nine of the thirteen states was needed for it to become the nation’s law. The issue of individual rights was managed—though this, too, created conflict among the Framers—with the addition of the Bill of Rights. Change was written into the supreme law of the land; since then, legal institutionalization of changes has occurred. Since the Constitution’s adoption, change has taken place through the amendment process identified in the Constitution. Change has also occurred under the direction of the branches of government established in the Constitution: the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary.
Research
The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Review the Bill of Rights in your textbook and select one of the first ten amendments to research more thoroughly. Using the Argosy University online library resources, select at least three peer-reviewed articles about the amendment you have selected.

The Difference between Data and Information
Introduction
Most of the individuals have the belief that the term information and data are interchangeable and have the same meaning. Nevertheless, there exists a unique difference between the two terms. Data can refer to any character, word, text, or number and if it is not placed into context, doesn't mean anything or means very little to humans. Information may be in its context a data which is formatted in such a way allowing it to be used by people in certain vital situations. Understanding the differences between data and information is essential because it helps to eradicate the apparent confusion brought about by the application of the two terms in organizations and other relevant professions.
Data
Data refers to the grouping of details and facts such as figures, texts, symbols, observations, or merely descriptions of certain things, entities or events collected with the aim of creating inferences. It represents the raw facts which require processing to obtain the information which needed for action to be taken upon a given situation (Silverman, 2018). It is mostly known to entail such things as characters and statements, as well as numbers before undergoing refining by the individual involved in its extraction who in this case is known as the researcher.
The word data is derived from the Latin word called datum which means something given. Data is therefore offered and provided by individuals involved in the survey process. Its concept is thus linked to the scientific research which included a collection of data and analysis before interpreting it to come up with the exact information regarding a given situation (Silverman, 2018). It is often gathered by several organizations, institutions, government departments as well as non-governmental agencies and bodies for various distinct reasons. Data exists in two major forms namely primary and secondary data.
Primary data is that data which is gathered by researchers from .

Term Paper Proposal
After carefully examining the syllabus and textbook the country of my choice in which I
would enjoy conducting thorough research on is the nation of Turkey. The recent tensions flaring
up in Syria, President Donald Trump is withdrawing U.S troops after he threatens to “devastate”
Turkey’s economy if they attack Kurdish forces; leaving Turkey to worried the future of their
national security. In such a country where religion and political turmoil merge it is close to
impossible to predict the future of their actions. These events have sparked my interest in
learning more about the political, economic, and social relations in Turkey.
Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey which was once ruled by both Christian and Muslim
empires. After World War 1, the Ottoman Empire sits defeated which led to the Turkish War of
Independence in 1919 — leading to the overthrow and downfall of Sultan Mehmet VI Vahdettin.
Next, the Republic of Turkey is founded by Kemal Ataturk, a national hero, later named as the
first President of Turkey. On October 29, 1923, a new Turkish constitution replaced the
constitution of the Ottoman Empire, forever marking the independence of the nation.
In addition, using library databases from the State College of Florida will allow me to
find books, magazines, and academic articles regarding the political sanctions enforced in
Turkey. One of the things I would hope to learn during research assignment is not only how
politics is done in Turkey but its relationships in regards to other countries. Finally, achieving
approval for this paper will allow me to learn more about the political structure in Turkey.

Muhammad Abrar Uddin
Introduction
· Big Data may well be the Next Big Thing in the IT world.
· Big data burst upon the scene in the first decade of the 21st century.
· The first organizations to embrace it were online and startup firms. Firms like Google, eBay, LinkedIn, and Facebook were built around big data from the beginning.
· Like many new information technologies, big data can bring about dramatic cost reductions, substantial improvements in the time required to perform a computing task, or new product and service offerings.
What is BIG DATA?
· ‘Big Data’ is similar to ‘small data’, but bigger in
size
· but having data bigger it requires different approaches:
– Techniques, tools and architecture
· an aim to solve new problems or old problems in a better way
· Big Data generates value from the storage and processing of very large quantities of digital information that cannot be analyzed with traditional computing techniques.
What is BIG DATA
· Walmart handles more than 1 million customer transactions every hour.
· Facebook handles 40 billion photos from its user base.
· Decoding the human genome originally took 10years to process; now it can be achieved in one week.

1st Character of Big Data
Volume
· A typical PC might have had 10 gigabytes of storage in 2000.
· Today, Facebook ingests 500 terabytes of new data every day.
· Boeing 737 will generate 240 terabytes of flight data during a single
flight across the US.
· The smart phones, the data they create and consume; sensors embedded into everyday objects will soon result in billions of new, constantly-updated data feeds containing environmental, location, and other information, including video.
2nd Character of Big Data
Velocity
· Clickstreams and ad impressions capture user behavior at millions of events per second
· high-frequency stock trading algorithms reflect market changes within microseconds
· machine to machine processes exchange data between billions of devices
· infrastructure and sensors generate massive log data in real- time
· on-line gaming systems support millions of concurrent users, each producing multiple inputs per second.
3rd Character of Big Data
Variety
· Big Data isn't just numbers, dates, and strings. Big Data is also geospatial data, 3D data, audio and video, and unstructured text, including log files and social media.
· Traditional database systems were designed to address smaller volumes of structured data, fewer updates or a predictable, consistent data structure.
· Big Data analysis includes different types of data
Storing Big Data
· Analyzing your data characteristics

Big Five Personality Short Form
This is an example of an individual self-assessment of personal styles. The sample questions below allow you to indicate your personal style on each of five global trait dimensions. There is no “right” or “wrong” or “good” or “bad” side to these dimensions; rather they help you identify your stylistic disposition and potential strengths. This is similar to finding out if you are left- or right-handed. Below each global trait is an example of personal style and three related questions with some on each of the poles.
Openness
Openness is the level of a person’s receptiveness to novel ideas, change, innovation, and new learning. On the continuum, this can be seen as preference for change on one end of the spectrum and preference for stability on the other.
Preference for Change
You value new learning, change, and innovation and find motivation in novelty, variety, and possibilities for improvement. New tasks and new learning are stimulating and attractive to you.
Answer each of the questions listed below by marking the selection that best describes your present agreement or disagreement with each statement.

Abstract: In this paper we present a SOA (Service Oriented Architecture)-based platform, enabling the retrieval and
analysis of big datasets stemming from social networking (SN) sites and Internet of Things (IoT) devices,
collected by smart city applications and socially-aware data aggregation services. A large set of city
applications in the areas of Participating Urbanism, Augmented Reality and Sound-Mapping throughout
participating cities is being applied, resulting into produced sets of millions of user-generated events and
online SN reports fed into the RADICAL platform. Moreover, we study the application of data analytics such
as sentiment analysis to the combined IoT and SN data saved into an SQL database, further investigating
algorithmic and configurations to minimize delays in dataset processing and results retrieval.
1 INTRODUCTION
Modern cities are increasingly turning towards
ICT technology for confronting pressures associated
with demographic changes, urbanization, climate
change (Romero Lankao, 2008) and globalization.
Therefore, most cities have undertaken significant
investments during the last decade in ICT
infrastructure including computers, broadband
connectivity and recently sensing infrastructures.
These infrastructures have empowered a number of
innovative services in areas such as participatory
sensing, urban logistics and ambient assisted living.
Such services have been extensively deployed in
several cities, thereby demonstrating the potential
benefits of ICT infrastructures for businesses and the
citizens themselves. During the last few years we
have also witnessed an explosion of sensor
deployments and social networking services, along
with the emergence of social networking (Conti et al.,
2011) and internet‐of‐things technologies (Perera et
al., 2013; Sundmaeker et al., 2010) Social and sensor
networks can be combined in order to offer a variety
of added‐value services for smart cities, as has
already been demonstrated by various early internet‐
of‐things applications (such as WikiCity(Calabrese et
al., 2007), CitySense(Murty et al., 2007),
GoogleLatitude(Page and Kobsa, 2010)), as.

Big Data Risks and Rewards (good length and at least 3-4 references everything in APA 7 format)
When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.
From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.
As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.

Big data can be described as a large and complex set of data tha.docx
Big data can be described as a large and complex set of data that requires specialized approaches to use effectively to uncover hidden insights and help solve problems that may arise in healthcare. Big data in healthcare focuses on the patient’s data to improve their clinical experience, use operational data to maximize workflow, and use financial data to streamline revenue (Agarwal, Gao, DesRoches & Jha, 2010). Nurse executives in the healthcare system need to be diverse thinkers on manipulating vast amounts of data to shape and reshape the system (Gefen & Ragowsky, 2005). Critical analysis and synthesis of the data are done to develop conclusions on how to plan and run the organization. Although the assessment of big data is vital, it bears benefits as well as detriments.
The main challenges that big data has on healthcare are increased healthcare data and growing costs. Health records moved from manual to digital, which increased the volume of the data made available. Health care data is not limited to what the healthcare providers present but includes data from the internet-of-things devices such as wearable devices, smartphone applications, and increased social media traffic. This extensive collection of data from these sources means a large data deposit that needs to be analyzed in the healthcare system (Bryant, Katz & Lazowska, 2008). Large amounts of input suggest that processing this data to give meaningful output requires high healthcare investments to allow for such analysis to be made by trained clinical staff. Big data needs to be sorted to develop conclusions on how to run the organization to achieve quality and enhanced information.
On the other hand, big data ensures effectiveness and personalized care with complete records of the patients. The data collected from the various health care platforms brings about more detailed information about a patient’s health. Although the information contained might seem bulky, once it has been sorted and organized, it provides a perspective on efficiency in healthcare services and neat patient information storage. Big data makes it possible for clinical systems to provide quality care to patients (Goh, Gao & Agarwal, 2011). Some patient records bring to focus those who have a risk of chronic illnesses. Hospitals need to identify such cases early and develop treatment, ensuring that the patient’s condition is mitigated before getting worse.
Challenges experienced in healthcare systems need to be solved for big data to become a valuable healthcare system tool. Getting rid of medication errors is one way to begin. A significant cause of health problems often leading to death is giving wrong medications to patients. Implementing high-end computing tools in the healthcare system is essential to access and process the collected data (Goh et al., 2011). As much as a vast amount of data is available, it is imperative to avoid making errors. The records compiled should be analyzed for proper medi.

BIG DATA AND BIG CITIES: THE PROMISES AND LIMITATIONS
OF IMPROVED MEASURES OF URBAN LIFE
EDWARD L. GLAESER, SCOTT DUKE KOMINERS, MICHAEL LUCA and NIKHIL NAIK∗
New, “big data” sources allow measurement of city characteristics and outcome
variables at higher collection frequencies and more granular geographic scales than
ever before. However, big data will not solve large urban social science questions
on its own. Big urban data has the most value for the study of cities when it allows
measurement of the previously opaque, or when it can be coupled with exogenous shocks
to people or place. We describe a number of new urban data sources and illustrate how
they can be used to improve the study and function of cities. We first show how Google
Street View images can be used to predict income in New York City, suggesting that
similar imagery data can be used to map wealth and poverty in previously unmeasured
areas of the developing world. We then discuss how survey techniques can be improved to
better measure willingness to pay for urban amenities. Finally, we explain how Internet
data is being used to improve the quality of city services. (JEL R1, C8, C18)

Big Data Analytics Tools./ Final Exam/PROJECT - BETTER UNDERSTAND ATTRITION.docx
FINAL EXAM – EXERCISE – To Better Understand Attrition.
This is a final project – you are going to exam the HR-BalanceSheet dataset and write a short report on what you found. I will guide you through the analysis, but as we go through the analysis you are going to need to capture data for the final report.
1. Load the dataset into Statistica
2. Generate Histograms for all of the data
a. Make notes on what you observe from the histograms. Can you learn anything about the business from these histograms?
b. Capture all of the histograms.
3. Now generate a correlation matrix to see if any variables are highly correlated. If variables are highly correlated and you are doing a supervised method (e.g., decision tree), then one of them must be omitted from the analysis. Do you know why?
Statistics->Nonparametrics->Correlations Okay.
Now select ALL of the variables and select “Spearman rank R”.
4. Let’s copy this out to Excel.
a. Open a blank Excel file
b. Go to Statistica – the output correlation matrix –
i. Hit Ctrl – A - this will select everything.
ii. Right Click - select “Copy with Headers”
iii. Go To Excel – select Paste
5. Select all of the numbers in Excel
a. Go To Conditional Formatting
i. Highlight all values greater than 0.70
6. This tells you the values that are highly correlated. Record what they are – these cannot be used in a supervised modeling exercise together. For example, JobLevel and TotalWorkingYears are highly correlated.
a. Make a list of all of the variables that are highly correlated (>0.7).
BUSINESS PROBLEM: The company has employee data for the last several years. In this data set we have a wide range of data, including whether or not they left the company (i.e., Attrition). If Attrition is set to “Yes”, they left the company. If Attrition is set to “No”, they did not leave the company.
The first thing we want to do is take a “high” level look at those people who left the company.
Go to Selection Criteria – that is accessible through the Sel:Off setting at the bottom of the Statistica window. Click on “Sel:Off”
Set the selection criteria to Attribute = “Yes”.
7. Generate Histograms for all of the data
a. Make notes on what you observe from the histograms. Can you learn anything about the business from these histograms?
b. Capture the histograms that tell you something about the business.
Go back to the selection criteria and turn the Sel: back to “Off”.
8. Now build a decision tree (C&RT) to see if we can find out what influences where or not individuals decide to leave the company.
If you exclude the variables that are highly correlated, you can generate a tree.
Generate a C&RT tree
Pick your variables (Quick)
· Attrition is your dependent variable
· Select the categorical and continuous v.

Big D Market Expansion Research Findings Presented by.docx
Big D Market Expansion Research Findings
Presented by:
Findings on Demography
Most people in the targeted market have reached the college level of education
The death rate of the population in the targeted market is low while the birth rate is slightly high
Most individuals are aged 30 years and above
The number of women is higher than that of the men
A majority of the people in the targeted market have reached the college level of education. What this implies is that many people qualify for white collar jobs. The significance of securing a white collar job is that it promises a steady income. Research shows that most employees in the formal sector are employed on a permanent basis. The death rate of the population in the targeted market is low while the birth rate is slightly high. This kind of population promises high sales. if the population had more young people, sales would be low since most young people are normally in school and so do not have any source of income.
Many people are aged 30 years and above. What this implies is that the population is mainly composed of the adult population which is good. The number of women is higher than that of men. This is good for the company for the reason that women have a high tendency to buy new products when they are presented to them. The main reason for this is that women have a higher curiosity than men. Unlike men, women are more willing to taste new products and services. This is especially if the services or even products satisfy their needs to the fullest.

US POPULATION TREND
Findings on Occupation
Most people in the targeted market are either, teachers, nurses or police officers
There are a few accountants and lawyers
The teaching profession has the highest rate of increase in terms of population
The profession with the lowest rate of increase is that of accountants.
Most people in the targeted market are either, teachers, nurses or police officers. The good thing about all these populations is that most individuals are employed on a permanent basis. The importance of being employed on a permanent basis is that it helps it helps ensure a permanent flow of income. There are a few accountants and lawyers. The significant of having this population here is that it helps increase the amount of money in circulation. This is because lawyers and accountants are among the professionals rated as high income earners. What normally happens is that earning a high income translates to a high spending ability.
The teaching profession has the highest rate of increase in terms of population. The main reason for this is that the number of schools has been increasing. Given the fact that teachers also earn a high income, this means that the there is a high amount of money put into circulation by this population. The profession with the lowest rat.

Rationale for the Biblical Worldview Essay
Every person has a worldview whether he realizes it or not. What is a worldview? James W. Sire defines a worldview as
:
[A]
commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as a story or in a set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true or entirely false) that we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently) about the
basic
constitution of reality, and that provides the foundation on which we live and move and have our being.
Stated more
succinctly
, “
…
[
A]
worldview is simply the total set of beliefs that a person has about the biggest questions in life.”
F. Leroy
Forlines
describes such questions as the “inescapable questions of life.”
Life’s inescapable questions include the following:
“
Is there a God? If so, what is He like? How can I know Him? Who am I? Where am I? How can I tell right from wrong? Is there life after death? What should I and what can I do about guilt? How can I deal with my inner pain?
”
Life’s biggest, inescapable questions relate to
whether there is a God, human origins, identity,
p
urpose, and the hereafter, just to mention a few.
Satisfying answers to the “inescapable questions of life” are provided by the Holy Scriptures. The Holy Scriptures
,
consisting of the Old and New Testaments
,
form the starting point and foundation for the
b
iblical
w
orldview.
More specifically
related to our purposes
, the apostle Paul reflects several components of the biblical worldview in his letter to the Romans.
The apostle Paul authored Romans toward the end of his third missionary journey, about
57 A.D.
He addressed this letter specifically to the Christians in Rome. At the time the church in Rome consisted of Jewish and Gentile believers, with Gentile Christians in the majority. Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome in order to address specific concerns and challenges they were facing. While Romans was an occasional letter (not a systematic theology), Paul presents the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a very systematic fashion. The Gospel is actually the overarching theme of Romans as Paul spells this out in his programmatic statement in 1:16–17. As the systematic presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Romans is foundational to the
b
iblical/Christian
w
orldview.
Recognizing that Romans is not a systematic theology and does not contain all the essential truths that are relevant to a worldview per se, the apostle Paul articulates truths that are foundational to the
b
iblical
w
orldview. In Romans 1–8, Paul addresses certain components of a worldview that relate to the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.
In a 750–1000-word essay, describe what Romans 1–8 teaches regarding the natural world, human identity, human relationships,
and
culture. Furthermore, explain how this teaching

The United States Constitution
September 17, 1787
____________________
It quickly became apparent that the Articles of Confederation, ratified by all the states by
March 1781, was insufficient in several areas (Lowman, pp. 121-22). One of the main weaknesses
was that it had no means of enforcing laws, or to settle disputes arising out of national laws. This
placed the states in the position of being independent nations (Lowman, p. 122). The states had no
rights with one another that were easily protected, and neither did their citizens. Shays' Rebellion,
which occurred in Massachusetts in 1786, magnified this problem and was the event that caused
the founding fathers to discuss plans for a better system of government:
Shays' Rebellion was limited to Massachusetts, but it threw fear into the hearts of Americans
in general. It rudely awakened them to the truly desperate political and economic conditions
in America. George Washington, in a letter to John Jay, wrote that "our affairs are
drawing rapidly to a crisis. We have errors to correct; we have probably had too good an
opinion of human nature in forming our Confederation. Experience has taught us that
men will not adopt, and carry into execution, measures the best calculated for their own
good, without the intervention of coercive power. I do not conceive we can exist long as a
nation without lodging, somewhere, a power which will pervade the whole Union in as
energetic a manner as the authority of the state governments extends over the several states
[Emphasis added.] (Lowman, p. 124).
A convention was called to revise the Articles of Confederation, but under the leadership of George
Washington, the delegates pushed for a more ambitious plan: creating an entirely new system of
government:
The Convention had been called only for the purpose of revising the Articles of
Confederation. But most of the delegates realized from the beginning of their discussions
that this was not enough to solve the nation's pressing problems. What was needed was a
new and stronger national government. Since whatever action they took would only result in
a recommendation to the states and would not be binding on anyone, they made the bold

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
