Introduction and problem statement
From the case, it is apparent that SFK-NY is one of the non-profit organization that is striving a lot to ensure that its mission of empowering the human spirit in every child is achieved. The case indicates that there is a huge gap in the society concerning the human spirit and hence SFK-NY has done its best to fill this gap. However, a closer look at the case reveals that the SFK-NY has not yet achieved its goal or rather its missions and vision. The vision statement for the organization is “One World, Every Child” (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). According to the case, it is stated that the mission of ensuring that the vision “ One World, Every Child” is achieved would only be complete when every child and young adult in the target region has participated in the SFK-YK program (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). This is because for all the children to learn he tools to help them make wise choices that provide them with certainty, happiness, concern for the well-being of others, the organization needs to invest a lot not only in employing personnel but also in expanding their project worldwide.
Expanding the program worldwide would need an enormous amount of money. Given that the SFK-YK is a non-profit organization, it means that it does not get capital from the services they offer. This is because they do not charge the beneficiaries for the services they get. The organization, according to the case, depends on donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, groups, clubs, and organization as well as their own fundraising from special events. Despite the fact that the organization gets a lot of assistance from well-wishers and clubs, the organizational Advisory Board and the director argue that their major concern is that SFK is not generating as much revenue through fundraising to support the current operation. They are also concerned that the organization is gaining a lot of popularity and that because of this, it is likely that it may experience massive growth. The board is also claiming that the cost for every student is approximately $300 per program, which is too much because every student needs to finish level 1,2 and even 3 depending on the availability of funding. This essay will support why lack of finance is the major strategic obstacle to the SFK-YK Program.
Body and discussion
One way in which an organization can achieve its strategic goal is by ensuring that all the factors of production are available and that they are put in proper use. Similarly, SFK-YK, despite offering the best and most popular services, must ensure that the factors of production are in place and that they are being utilized accordingly. Closer look at the case reveals that capital and resour.
Problem Set #2 SCOR470 Fall 2015 Topics Soil water pote.docx
Problem Set #2
SCOR470 Fall 2015
Topics: Soil water potential, unit conversions, soil water content
Honor code opportunity- It is required that the work you are turning in is your effort. In addition,
you may wish to sign the honor code statement. Declining to sign this statement will not count
against you.
"I have not given, received, or used any unauthorized assistance."
Signature
1. Unit conversions
a. You are curious about the matric potential of an air-dried soil. This depends on the
relative humidity of the air of course but you find a value of -2.20 x 105 J/Kg in a journal
article. Express this in MPa and m. (Note that the permanent wilting point for plants is
typically assumed to be -1.5 MPa.)
b. You need a value for the osmotic pressure of maple tree sap and find a table in a
reliable older reference stating 2.23 x 106 erg/cm3. Convert this to m, ft., and Pa.
c. Your grandfather’s WWII submarine could withstand about 1.5 MPa of water
pressure. Assuming a saltwater density of 1.03 g/cm3, calculate the crush-depth of the
submarine in m and ft.
2. a. Calculate the energy/volume (in J/m3) of water a plant root must overcome to withdraw
water laterally from a soil with a matric potential of -15000 cm with an EC of 8 dS/m.
b. Assuming 15 oC, calculate the relative humidity in the soil air for the soil in part (a).
Note that this soil is near the wilting point for many plants.
Helpful information: The EC, electrical conductivity, is a measure of the total dissolved salts in a
system. For a wide range of soils, the following empirical relationship relates the EC of the soil
solution to the osmotic pressure (Π) of the solution; Π(bars)= 0.36 x EC (dS/m). The EC unit is
decisiemen per meter.
3. Consider a soil profile above a shallow water table:
clay loam
water table
loamy sand
loam
silt loam
0.40 m
0.30 m
0.15 m
0.20 m
Soil surface
Suppose the θ(h) in this profile is described by the Brooks-Corey formulation:
θ(h) = θS for |h| ≤ |he|
θ(h) = (θS -θr)[(he/h)
λ] + θr for |h| > |he|
Using the parameters in the following table, calculate and plot the equilibrium water content
profile, θ(z), from the soil surface to the water table.
4. The following system is at equilibrium. Determine each component of the total soil water
potential in energy/volume and energy/weight at the points indicated (A, B, …). If a component
is zero, state why.

Problem descriptionThe Jim Thornton Coffee House chain is .docx
Problem description
The Jim Thornton Coffee House chain is planning expansion into Calgary. It has selected many
possible sites for new coffee houses. The possible sites are joined by roads that form a spanning tree.
To eliminate competition with itself, the company has determined that it should not choose two
sites that are adjacent in this tree. From its market evaluation, the company has also determined
the expected profit per year for each site. Your job is to determine what sites Jim Thornton should
choose for his coffee houses.
a. Define this problem precisely, by defining the required Input and the required Output. Use
mathematical notation.
b. Write a recursive equation for the function that maximizes the profit per year. Include a
short argument that your equation is correct.
c. Write an efficient algorithm that computes the maximum profit per year, and also computes
the sites that should be chosen. Your algorithm should run in time that is polynomial in the
input size.
d. What is the asymptotic running time of your algorithm? Defend your answer.
Your algorithm and proofs should be precise and concise (as well, of course, as correct.) Elegance
of your solution counts.

Answer:
(a) A counterexample is given in Figure 1. The given algorithm finds an independent set of
weight 8. However, the maximum total weight is 10 by adding the nodes at two ends to
the independent set.

Figure 1: A counterexample to the algorithm of 1(a)
(b) A counterexample is given in Figure 2. The given algorithm finds an independent set of
weight 11. However, the maximum total weight is 19 by adding the nodes at two ends to
the independent set.

Figure 2: A counterexample to the algorithm of 1(b)
(c) Input: An array A = (a1, . . . , an) of n integers. (I use “array” rather than “set” here
because the elements in a set do not have the notion of order.)
Output: A set S = {aα1, . . . , aαm} ⊆ A, which satisfies
(1)
m∑
i=1
aαi is maximum;
(2) ∀i ∈ {1, . . . , m}, ̸ ∃j ∈ {1, . . . , m} s.t. |αi − αj| = 1.
Optimization function. Indset[i] denotes the maximum independent set of an array with
i positive integers (a1, . . . , ai). Let OPT [i] denote the total weight of Indset[i]. The
optimization function is
OPT [0] = 0, OPT [1] = max{0, a1},
OPT [i] =
{
OPT [i − 1] if OPT [i − 1] ≥ OPT [i − 2] + ai
OPT [i − 2] + ai otherwise
Correctness of the optimization function. It is trivial if n = 0 or 1. When n ≥ 2, there
are two cases to be considered. Case 1: Indset[n] includes an. Then Indset[n] must not
include an−1. And Indset[n]−{an} must be a maximum independent set of (a1, . . . , an−2).
This can be easily verified by a replacement argument. If the statement is not true, then
the total weight of Indset[n] − {an} is less than OPT [n − 2]. Then Indset[n − 2] ∪ {an}
has total weight larger than Indset[n] does, and this co.

Employee Needs assessment
Organizations have long recognized that employees make contributions through a work behavior that leads to measurable performance. The appraisal process helps management assess this contribution as well as identify areas that need improvement. As a formal process, appraisal is a part of a performance system designed to manage an organizations human resources. The growing complexity of customer, employee and management relationships requires a new leadership paradigm. This is certainly true in today’s highly competitive market place where a premium is placed on the development of human capital. Management of today’s workforce has been made more difficult by the implementation of the contemporary business practices such as downsizing, reengineering, Total Quality Management (TQM), employee empowerment and team performance systems. These changes have altered the dynamics of the traditional management and employee relationships. The increase in layoffs globally has placed organizations in a more complicated position to manage their workforces. Business organizations have continued to develop sophisticated performance management systems to manage their human resources and to identify leaders to sustain growth of the company (Kusluvan, 2003).
Employee performance can be improved in many ways. E.

Introduction and problem statement
From the case, it is apparent that SFK-NY is one of the non-profit organization that is striving a lot to ensure that its mission of empowering the human spirit in every child is achieved. The case indicates that there is a huge gap in the society concerning the human spirit and hence SFK-NY has done its best to fill this gap. However, a closer look at the case reveals that the SFK-NY has not yet achieved its goal or rather its missions and vision. The vision statement for the organization is “One World, Every Child” (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). According to the case, it is stated that the mission of ensuring that the vision “ One World, Every Child” is achieved would only be complete when every child and young adult in the target region has participated in the SFK-YK program (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). This is because for all the children to learn he tools to help them make wise choices that provide them with certainty, happiness, concern for the well-being of others, the organization needs to invest a lot not only in employing personnel but also in expanding their project worldwide.
Expanding the program worldwide would need an enormous amount of money. Given that the SFK-YK is a non-profit organization, it means that it does not get capital from the services they offer. This is because they do not charge the beneficiaries for the services they get. The organization, according to the case, depends on donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, groups, clubs, and organization as well as their own fundraising from special events. Despite the fact that the organization gets a lot of assistance from well-wishers and clubs, the organizational Advisory Board and the director argue that their major concern is that SFK is not generating as much revenue through fundraising to support the current operation. They are also concerned that the organization is gaining a lot of popularity and that because of this, it is likely that it may experience massive growth. The board is also claiming that the cost for every student is approximately $300 per program, which is too much because every student needs to finish level 1,2 and even 3 depending on the availability of funding. This essay will support why lack of finance is the major strategic obstacle to the SFK-YK Program.
Body and discussion
One way in which an organization can achieve its strategic goal is by ensuring that all the factors of production are available and that they are put in proper use. Similarly, SFK-YK, despite offering the best and most popular services, must ensure that the factors of production are in place and that they are being utilized accordingly. Closer look at the case reveals that capital and resour.

Problem Set #2
SCOR470 Fall 2015
Topics: Soil water potential, unit conversions, soil water content
Honor code opportunity- It is required that the work you are turning in is your effort. In addition,
you may wish to sign the honor code statement. Declining to sign this statement will not count
against you.
"I have not given, received, or used any unauthorized assistance."

1. Unit conversions
a. You are curious about the matric potential of an air-dried soil. This depends on the
relative humidity of the air of course but you find a value of -2.20 x 105 J/Kg in a journal
article. Express this in MPa and m. (Note that the permanent wilting point for plants is
typically assumed to be -1.5 MPa.)
b. You need a value for the osmotic pressure of maple tree sap and find a table in a
reliable older reference stating 2.23 x 106 erg/cm3. Convert this to m, ft., and Pa.
c. Your grandfather’s WWII submarine could withstand about 1.5 MPa of water
pressure. Assuming a saltwater density of 1.03 g/cm3, calculate the crush-depth of the
submarine in m and ft.
2. a. Calculate the energy/volume (in J/m3) of water a plant root must overcome to withdraw
water laterally from a soil with a matric potential of -15000 cm with an EC of 8 dS/m.
b. Assuming 15 oC, calculate the relative humidity in the soil air for the soil in part (a).
Note that this soil is near the wilting point for many plants.
Helpful information: The EC, electrical conductivity, is a measure of the total dissolved salts in a
system. For a wide range of soils, the following empirical relationship relates the EC of the soil
solution to the osmotic pressure (Π) of the solution; Π(bars)= 0.36 x EC (dS/m). The EC unit is
decisiemen per meter.
3. Consider a soil profile above a shallow water table:
clay loam
water table
loamy sand
loam
silt loam
0.40 m
0.30 m
0.15 m
0.20 m
Soil surface
Suppose the θ(h) in this profile is described by the Brooks-Corey formulation:
θ(h) = θS for |h| ≤ |he|
θ(h) = (θS -θr)[(he/h)
λ] + θr for |h| > |he|
Using the parameters in the following table, calculate and plot the equilibrium water content
profile, θ(z), from the soil surface to the water table.
4. The following system is at equilibrium. Determine each component of the total soil water
potential in energy/volume and energy/weight at the points indicated (A, B, …). If a component
is zero, state why.

Problem descriptionThe Jim Thornton Coffee House chain is .docx
Problem description
The Jim Thornton Coffee House chain is planning expansion into Calgary. It has selected many
possible sites for new coffee houses. The possible sites are joined by roads that form a spanning tree.
To eliminate competition with itself, the company has determined that it should not choose two
sites that are adjacent in this tree. From its market evaluation, the company has also determined
the expected profit per year for each site. Your job is to determine what sites Jim Thornton should
choose for his coffee houses.
a. Define this problem precisely, by defining the required Input and the required Output. Use
mathematical notation.
b. Write a recursive equation for the function that maximizes the profit per year. Include a
short argument that your equation is correct.
c. Write an efficient algorithm that computes the maximum profit per year, and also computes
the sites that should be chosen. Your algorithm should run in time that is polynomial in the
input size.
d. What is the asymptotic running time of your algorithm? Defend your answer.
Your algorithm and proofs should be precise and concise (as well, of course, as correct.) Elegance
of your solution counts.

Answer:
(a) A counterexample is given in Figure 1. The given algorithm finds an independent set of
weight 8. However, the maximum total weight is 10 by adding the nodes at two ends to
the independent set.

Figure 1: A counterexample to the algorithm of 1(a)
(b) A counterexample is given in Figure 2. The given algorithm finds an independent set of
weight 11. However, the maximum total weight is 19 by adding the nodes at two ends to
the independent set.

Figure 2: A counterexample to the algorithm of 1(b)
(c) Input: An array A = (a1, . . . , an) of n integers. (I use “array” rather than “set” here
because the elements in a set do not have the notion of order.)
Output: A set S = {aα1, . . . , aαm} ⊆ A, which satisfies
(1)
m∑
i=1
aαi is maximum;
(2) ∀i ∈ {1, . . . , m}, ̸ ∃j ∈ {1, . . . , m} s.t. |αi − αj| = 1.
Optimization function. Indset[i] denotes the maximum independent set of an array with
i positive integers (a1, . . . , ai). Let OPT [i] denote the total weight of Indset[i]. The
optimization function is
OPT [0] = 0, OPT [1] = max{0, a1},
OPT [i] =
{
OPT [i − 1] if OPT [i − 1] ≥ OPT [i − 2] + ai
OPT [i − 2] + ai otherwise
Correctness of the optimization function. It is trivial if n = 0 or 1. When n ≥ 2, there
are two cases to be considered. Case 1: Indset[n] includes an. Then Indset[n] must not
include an−1. And Indset[n]−{an} must be a maximum independent set of (a1, . . . , an−2).
This can be easily verified by a replacement argument. If the statement is not true, then
the total weight of Indset[n] − {an} is less than OPT [n − 2]. Then Indset[n − 2] ∪ {an}
has total weight larger than Indset[n] does, and this co.

Employee Needs assessment
Organizations have long recognized that employees make contributions through a work behavior that leads to measurable performance. The appraisal process helps management assess this contribution as well as identify areas that need improvement. As a formal process, appraisal is a part of a performance system designed to manage an organizations human resources. The growing complexity of customer, employee and management relationships requires a new leadership paradigm. This is certainly true in today’s highly competitive market place where a premium is placed on the development of human capital. Management of today’s workforce has been made more difficult by the implementation of the contemporary business practices such as downsizing, reengineering, Total Quality Management (TQM), employee empowerment and team performance systems. These changes have altered the dynamics of the traditional management and employee relationships. The increase in layoffs globally has placed organizations in a more complicated position to manage their workforces. Business organizations have continued to develop sophisticated performance management systems to manage their human resources and to identify leaders to sustain growth of the company (Kusluvan, 2003).
Employee performance can be improved in many ways. E.

Problem B Regulatory Compliance 1 No.docx
Problem B: Regulatory Compliance
1
Note: All character and company names are fictional and are not intended to
depict any actual person or business.
Knowing that mergers may require a dramatic change in company culture,
you realize that you need to meet with the human resources (HR) and
leadership teams because they will play important roles in the merger. The
leadership team will drive the change, and the HR team will be charged with
managing the change. You have scheduled a meeting with Steve Maine, your
vice president at ALTAP consulting, to consult with him on this project.
“Thanks for meeting me today, Steve,” you begin. “I need to talk through
some of the issues before meeting with the HR and leadership teams at
UWEAR and PALEDENIM. The merger is going well, but it is becoming
apparent that there are some significant change issues that need to be
addressed.”
“I’ve heard good things about your work on this project,” Steve answers. “I’m
sure you have it under control, but I’ll be happy to help where I can.”
“We are dealing with the issues of joining together two very disparate
companies,” you explain. “On the one hand, UWEAR is public and has 100
employees; on the other hand, PALEDENIM is private with only 15
employees. They basically provide the same type of service, but they are
completely different businesses in how they operate inside and outside of the
company.”
You continue, “Yes, and both the employees and managers of each company
have different philosophies and expectations. PALEDENIM employees and
managers have a kind of ‘one-for-all and all-for-one’ attitude. They all chip in
to get the job done. The UWEAR employees and managers look at things
differently. They’re more apt to do their jobs, get them done, and go home
without consideration for what else the rest of the team needs to complete.”
“That is definitely a culture issue,” Steve agrees. “In fact, that is the classic
definition of a culture issue. I’m sure they’re also dealing with the typical
power struggles. I bet everyone is worried about whether their department
will be headed by a UWEAR manager or a PALEDENIM manager.”
Problem B: Regulatory Compliance
2
“Exactly,” you say. “I know the intention of the merger is to benefit both
companies, but there are unintended consequences as well. We need to do
whatever we can to help the employees of both companies get through this
with the fewest glitches possible.”

Essay #2 addresses some topic in the broad scope of Transcendentalis.docx
Essay #2 addresses some topic in the broad scope of Transcendentalism.
Essay #2 has similar parameters -- length/outside source requirements, drafting process -- as Essay #1.
You are always free to develop your own topic approach within the Transcendentalism topic.
Some suggestive options:
1) Analyze Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" in light of a contemporary example or figure or incident in the tradition of American civil disobedience.
2) Analyze the persuasive and rhetorical strategies of one of the transcendental pieces (or King's "Letter") that we have read. You might look at issues of audience, style, emotional vs./and rational appeal, appeals to history/tradition or rejection of history/tradtion, metaphoric style, tone and so forth. If you deem them successful, why/how do they succeed in arguing their points? What might be points of counterargument or criticism or weaknesses in their approach? Does it work as a piece of argument/writing?
3) Pick one (or several if you feel it's appropriate) key concepts or quotes from a work (or several works) and discuss the concept/quote in terms of how it has evolved or put it in larger context. How have these words taken form in our laws, practice, literature, or culture? Where are the gaps between the great ideals of these writers' words and the reality of their times and/or ours? e.g. How might MLK (in light of his "Letter") feel about the society and civil rights situation we see today?
4) You could pick one, two, or three key themes from any of the works and discuss how the text fleshes out these themes and why they are important to our understanding of the period, or the particular writer, or to transcendentalism as a movement, or to American tradition or literature and so forth.
5) You could pick a theme which runs through several of the texts (for example, something about the role or nature of the individual) and trace it through its different configuration and representations.
Essay length: 4-5 pages -- again, I'm always more concerned with minimum than limiting any maximum length.
Include outside critical sources.

The Tempest
Prompt

MLA format)
Character:
The Tempest
presents a variety of characters who manipulate each other, raising questions about personal agency and autonomy.
How are characters formed as the result of other characters’ direct influence?
How might the text mirror our own experiences of identity formation?
Perhaps the text suggests that we can never be autonomous individuals due to the ease by which we are influenced by others.
Do you agree or disagree with this claim?
Be sure to support your position with concrete examples; these examples may come from your personal experience and observations, but you should also use the main text of
The Tempest
as the basis for each of your claims.
(Terms to define in the paper: agency, autonomy, influence)

Problem B Regulatory Compliance 1 No.docx
Problem B: Regulatory Compliance
1
Note: All character and company names are fictional and are not intended to
depict any actual person or business.
Knowing that mergers may require a dramatic change in company culture,
you realize that you need to meet with the human resources (HR) and
leadership teams because they will play important roles in the merger. The
leadership team will drive the change, and the HR team will be charged with
managing the change. You have scheduled a meeting with Steve Maine, your
vice president at ALTAP consulting, to consult with him on this project.
“Thanks for meeting me today, Steve,” you begin. “I need to talk through
some of the issues before meeting with the HR and leadership teams at
UWEAR and PALEDENIM. The merger is going well, but it is becoming
apparent that there are some significant change issues that need to be
addressed.”
“I’ve heard good things about your work on this project,” Steve answers. “I’m
sure you have it under control, but I’ll be happy to help where I can.”
“We are dealing with the issues of joining together two very disparate
companies,” you explain. “On the one hand, UWEAR is public and has 100
employees; on the other hand, PALEDENIM is private with only 15
employees. They basically provide the same type of service, but they are
completely different businesses in how they operate inside and outside of the
company.”
You continue, “Yes, and both the employees and managers of each company
have different philosophies and expectations. PALEDENIM employees and
managers have a kind of ‘one-for-all and all-for-one’ attitude. They all chip in
to get the job done. The UWEAR employees and managers look at things
differently. They’re more apt to do their jobs, get them done, and go home
without consideration for what else the rest of the team needs to complete.”
“That is definitely a culture issue,” Steve agrees. “In fact, that is the classic
definition of a culture issue. I’m sure they’re also dealing with the typical
power struggles. I bet everyone is worried about whether their department
will be headed by a UWEAR manager or a PALEDENIM manager.”
Problem B: Regulatory Compliance
2
“Exactly,” you say. “I know the intention of the merger is to benefit both
companies, but there are unintended consequences as well. We need to do
whatever we can to help the employees of both companies get through this
with the fewest glitches possible.”

5) You could pick a theme which runs through several of the texts (for example, something about the role or nature of the individual) and trace it through its different configuration and representations.
Essay length: 4-5 pages -- again, I'm always more concerned with minimum than limiting any maximum length.
Include outside critical sources.

Essay # 2
The Tempest
Prompt

MLA format)
Character:
The Tempest
presents a variety of characters who manipulate each other, raising questions about personal agency and autonomy.
How are characters formed as the result of other characters’ direct influence?
How might the text mirror our own experiences of identity formation?
Perhaps the text suggests that we can never be autonomous individuals due to the ease by which we are influenced by others.
Do you agree or disagree with this claim?
Be sure to support your position with concrete examples; these examples may come from your personal experience and observations, but you should also use the main text of
The Tempest
as the basis for each of your claims.
(Terms to define in the paper: agency, autonomy, influence)
*NOTE: For body paragraph please follow the format of
1.Topic sentence

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
