Both front-end and back-end web development are areas of expertise for full stack engineers. Completing a web application from the ground up necessitates full stack development skills, which are in high demand. The front end and back end are two essential web development principles that you must first comprehend in order to become a full-stack developer.
Front-end developer
All of the components of a computer application that users directly engage with are referred to as the client-side or customer-facing side, or front-end web development. The visible portions of a website are created and optimised by front-end developers to be responsive across several viewing platforms, including desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones. They use client-facing programming languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to make an interesting website.
Back-end developer
Programmers are required by a back-end developer to design and enhance the internal software that powers a business's servers, databases, and proprietary applications. The paths that carry information to and from users of front-end interfaces are built by back-end developers.
Full Stack Developer
A web programmer who creates websites and online mba degree is known as a full stack developer. A website or application's whole front and back end architecture is referred to as its "full stack." As one might anticipate, full stack specialists are capable of handling all aspects of website building. A full stack developer is an essential member of a company's decision-making team since they are knowledgeable in multiple technologies that support the creation of reliable tech products. In the software sector, it's one of the most sought-after jobs.

You will choose a topic from the Complete Marriage and Family Home Reference Guide to study more closely. In 4–6 pages, you will compare current knowledge with facts from research and then examine the chosen topic from both a psychological and a theological perspective.
1. Briefly provide your initial thoughts on the topic. This section will not require source material. The purpose is simply for you to identify what you know about this topic. You may discuss facts, a biblical perspective, the moral dilemma involved in the topic, or just your thoughts around the topic. This section must be 1 page.
2. Look at the research that has been done on the topic. This section must be well-organized with headings and subheadings and must include at least 4 empirical sources. This section must be 2–3 pages. You may consider, but are not confined to, the following prompts and questions:
· Check some of what you know against what research has to say. How could this topic affect a marriage or family?
· What are benefits and consequences of approaching this topic and working through it within the affected family unit?
3. Compare the psychological and theological perspectives of the topic. The point here is to compare what the research says about the topic to what the Bible says about the topic. Not all of the topics from "The Quick-Reference Guide to Marriage and Family Counseling" are directly mentioned in the Bible. However, you may use biblical principles and discuss similarities and discrepancies found between these 2 perspectives. This section must be 1–2 pages.
4. The conclusion of this paper must include a good summary of the information provided in the preceding 3 sections. You must also provide an idea for future study of the topic. What further information could be provided in relation to this topic? For example, what are some variables that play a part of depression in marriage? Is depression within marriage easier to work through if the depression is a result of a mood disorder or of circumstances outside of the marriage?
5. Correct current APA formatting must be implemented throughout this paper, including avoiding first person and using properly formatted citations and headings. A title page and references page must be included; however, an abstract will NOT be necessary for this assignment. Assignment instructions and the grading rubric must be carefully reviewed to ensure that all assignment criteria are met.

Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs
Chapter 5
*
Introduction
Experiments are best suited for explanation and evaluation research
Experiments involve:
Taking action
Observing the consequences of that action
Especially suited for hypothesis testing
Often occur in the field
The Classical Experiment Classical experiment: a specific way of structuring researchInvolves three major components:
Independent variable and dependent variable
Pretesting and posttesting
Experimental group and control group
Independent and Dependent Variables
The independent variable takes the form of a dichotomous stimulus that is either present or absent
It varies (i.e., is independent) in our experimental process
The dependent variable is the outcome, the effect we expect to see
Might be physical conditions, social behavior, attitudes, feelings, or beliefs
Pretesting and Posttesting
Subjects are initially measured in terms of the DV prior to association with the IV (pretested)
Then, they are exposed to the IV
Then, they are remeasured in terms of the DV (posttested)
Differences noted between the measurements on the DV are attributed to influence of IV
Experimental and Control Groups
Experimental group: exposed to whatever treatment, policy, initiative we are testing
Control group: very similar to experimental group, except that they are NOT exposed
Can involve more than one experimental or control group
If we see a difference, we want to make sure it is due to the IV, and not to a difference between the two groups
Placebo
We often don’t want people to know if they are receiving treatment or not
We expose our control group to a “dummy” independent variable just so we are treating everyone the same
Medical research: participants don’t know what they are taking
Ensures that changes in DV actually result from IV and are not psychologically based
Double-Blind Experiment
Experimenters may be more likely to “observe” improvements among those who received drug
In a double-blind experiment, neither the subjects nor the experimenters know which is the experimental group and which is the control group
Selecting Subjects
First, must decide on target population – the group to which the results of your experiment will apply
Second, must decide how to select particular members from that group for your experiment
Cardinal rule – ensure that experimental and control groups are as similar as possible
RandomizationRandomization: produces an experimental and control group that are statistically equivalentEssential feature of experimentsEliminates systematic bias
Experiments and Causal Inference
Experimental design ensures:
Cause precedes effect via taking posttest
Empirical correlation exists via comparing pretest to posttest
No spurious 3rd variable influencing correlation via posttest comparison between experimental and control groups, and via randomization
Example of Research Using an Experimental Design

Effective, purposeful communication is essential in the military profession. Following these instructions will help you properly complete your writing assignment and will improve your chances for success.
This template exemplifies the format for essays. Each essay must include a properly formatted cover page (see above), double-spaced text, Times New Roman 12pt font, 1-inch margins, as well as full endnote-style citations for paraphrasing and quotations in accordance with the Author Guide, Section 5.5. Endnotes are not counted as part of your total word count. The, Appendix A provides examples of endnote formats. Do not include a bibliography in these short essay assignments; however, ensure your full endnotes contain all source information.
Use quotation marks when you quote directly from the work of other writers. This is a relatively short assignment, so use block quotations sparingly to allow your own original thoughts to shine through.
You may notice minor variations between your consolidated lesson readers, which require different endnote formats. Some bundle the readings into a single document with continuous pagination (see example endnote 1 at the end of this document).
Other lesson readers retain each author’s original pagination (see example note 2).
You should use the author’s original pagination wherever it is possible to do so. Remember, cite any material used from the instructional narrative portion of the consolidated lesson reading file with “as the author (see example endnote 3).
The midterm and final essay exams are academic papers; write each in a narrative style, not a bullet/point paper. Refer to the assignment rubric located in your Grade Center for grading criteria. If you have any questions, contact your course instructor.
Much like your next level of leadership, the program requires effective writing founded on critical thinking and communication skills. Each essay you write as you progress toward graduation provides an opportunity for you to hone these abilities. Additionally, these assignments comprise a large portion of your final grade in each course. Therefore, successful course completion is contingent on your writing performance. The most ...

Expansion and Isolationism in Eurasia How did approaches t.docxelbanglis
Expansion and Isolationism in Eurasia
How did approaches to cultural interaction shape empires in Eurasia?
Introduction
In 1279, under the leadership of Kublai Khan, the Mongols ousted the Song dynasty
and completed their conquest of China. As they
took control, they established the Yuan dynasty,
with Kublai Khan serving as emperor. However,
Mongol rule over China was relatively short lived.
Within 100 years, the Yuan dynasty would be
forced out by Chinese rebels.
Under Mongol rule, the Chinese became
increasingly angered by policies that favored
Mongols and foreigners. This anger and resentment
eventually resulted in unrest. Around 1350, small
states in China began to emerge to fight the
Mongols. Chinese leaders turned to military force to
advance their interests and establish regional
power. Some leaders were members of the upper class, and others were religious
leaders or bandits supported by peasants. By the middle of the 1350s, these Chinese
powers were united in their campaign to get rid of Mongol rule.
The years of ongoing warfare spurred military innovation among the Chinese.
Although the Mongols had access to gunpowder weapons, they did not develop new
technologies. In contrast, the first large cannons in China were manufactured by the
Chinese rebels. While the term “Gunpowder Empire” is often associated with the
Ottoman Empire, the Safavid Empire, and the Mughal Empire, the Chinese
advancements in gunpowder weaponry has led some historians to regard Ming China
as the world’s first gunpowder empire.

Expansion and Isolationism in Eurasia
How did approaches to cultural interaction shape empires in Eurasia?
In this lesson, you will learn about three countries in Eurasia that used gunpowder
to expand and maintain their control: China, Japan, and Russia. You will consider the
rise and fall of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China. You will examine the unification of
Japan under the Tokugawa. Finally, you will explore the growth of the Russian Empire
during the Romanov dynasty.
Section 1. China Under the Ming and Qing
Between the 14th and the early 20th centuries,
two dynasties governed China: the Ming and the Qing.
Both dynasties took power during times of upheaval.
To restore order, they established strong, centralized
rule and revived traditional Chinese values, including
Confucian ideals.
The Ming Revival By the mid-1300s, China was in
turmoil. The Mongols’ hold on power had became
unstable. Disease and natural disasters had weakened
the Mongol grip. Additionally, feuds broke out within the government, leaving the
countryside unprotected against bandits and rebels.
As life became more dangerous and difficult, Chinese peasants grew increasingly
frustrated with the incompetence of their rulers. Led by Zhu Yuanzhang, a peasant
uprising successfully invaded the city of Nanjing. In 1368, aided by gunpowder
weapons, Zhu and his army capt ...

MEDIA PLAN TO BOOK?
Optimedia's Antony Young Analyzes the Media Strategies
Behind Rival Travel Sites
By Antony Young
Published: June 30, 2010
As schools break for summer, some families -- like mine -- are still planning their vacations. So I
took a look at two prominent travel sites, Expedia and Priceline, to see which one's media strategy
is likely to attract more trip planners.
Their media plans are especially important as the travel industry picks up after a tough 2009.
Demand for flights and hotels are rebounding and so, too, are airfares and room rates. With
slimmer margins on airline tickets, hotels have very much become the major battleground for
Expedia and Priceline and this is reflected in the focus of their advertising. Online Travel Agencies
(OTA's) accounted for 34.7% of all U.S. hotel bookings in the first quarter of 2010, up from 27.8% in
2009, Priceline CMO Brett Keller said in a recent speech.
Creative executions
Expedia launched a new branding campaign for 2010. Its tagline, "Where you book matters,"
accompanied a new logo incorporated into its creative messaging. The campaign, which targets
frequent leisure travelers, launched Dec. 26 with commercials featuring a visual metaphor of
building blocks as a way to demonstrate how consumers interact with Expedia. The first spot starts
with upbeat soft-rock music narrated by an unseen woman dictating her specifications for the
perfect "girls' weekend." She talks about having multiple hotel options and the ability to compare
dates for the best savings. Expedia's signature "dot coooom" jingle ends the spot. A spot with a
man's voice and trip goals was launched in February.

Priceline has built its position in the market on the opportunity for customers to name their own
price, brought to life through some hilarious spots fronted by pitchman William Shatner. This year,
Shatner introduced his new sidekick "Big Deal," a 520 lb 6'5" character who helps persuade hotels
to take a deal. In February, the Big Deal ads were joined by new creative that featured the
Negotiator's "Evil Twin" (played, of course, by Shatner). Priceline takes a karate chop at
Expedia.com (and Hotels.com), claiming that Priceline can get prices 50% lower.
The strategies of the two companies differed noticeably. Expedia.com attracted 16.7 million unique
visitors in May, 59% more than the 10.5 million who visited Priceline.com, according to ComScore.
And Expedia media seems to reflect this, promoting the site as the generic travel brand for a broad
audience and highlighting its full range of services and travel destinations. Priceline is more single-
mindedly focused on price, and its media appears to target lower down the purchase funnel with an
emphasis on converting transactions.

Experiments with duckweed–moth systems suggest that

EGBERT H. VAN NES

Wageningen, The Netherlands
SUMMARY
1. Wilf & Labandeira (1999) suggested that increased temperatures because of global
warming will cause an increase in herbivory by insects. This conclusion was based on the
supposed effect of temperature on herbivores but did not consider an effect of temperature
on plant growth.
2. We studied the effect of temperature on grazing pressure by the small China-mark moth
(Cataclysta lemnata L.) on Lemna minor L. in laboratory experiments.
3. Between temperatures of 15 and 24 �C we found a sigmoidal increase in C. lemnata
grazing rates, and an approximately linear increase in L. minor growth rates. Therefore, an
increase in temperature did not always result in higher grazing pressure by this insect as
the regrowth of Lemna changes also.
4. At temperatures below 18.7 �C, Lemna benefited more than Cataclysta from an increase in
temperature, causing a decrease in grazing pressure.
5. In the context of global warming, we conclude that rising temperatures will not
necessarily increase grazing pressure by herbivorous insects.
Keywords: Cataclysta, grazing, herbivory, Lemna, temperature
Introduction
Duckweeds (Lemnaceae) are often abundant in dit-
ches and ponds (Landolt, 1986). Especially when
nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in the water
column are high, the surface area can become covered
with dense floating mats of duckweed (Lüönd, 1980,
1983; Portielje & Roijackers, 1995). These mats have
large impacts on freshwater ecosystems, restricting
oxygen supply (Pokorny & Rejmánková, 1983), light
availability of algae and submerged macrophytes
(Wolek, 1974) and temperature fluxes (Dale &
Gillespie, 1976; Landolt, 1986; Goldsborough, 1993).
These changed conditions often have a negative effect
on the biodiversity of the ecosystem (Janse & van
Puijenbroek, 1998). Other free-floating plants such as
red water fern (Azolla filiculoides), water hyacinth
(Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes)
often cause serious problems in tropical and sub-
tropical regions (Mehra et al., 1999; Hill, 2003).
Various species of herbivorous insects consume
free-floating macrophytes. Several species of weevils
(Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are able to consume large
amounts of red water fern, water hyacinth and water
lettuce (Cilliers, 1991; Hill & Cilliers, 1999; Aguilar
et al., 2003), while the larvae of the semi-aquatic Small
China-mark moth (Cataclysta lemnata) are capable of
removing large parts of floating cover of Lemnaceae
covers (Wesenberg-Lund, 1943). Duckweed is not
only used as food source, but also as building material

CASE STUDY 9
ST. LUKE'S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
Hospitals have been some of the earliest adopters of wireless local area
networks (WLANs). The clinician user population is typically mobile and
spread out across a number of buildings, with a need to enter and access
data in real time. St. Luke's Episcopal Health System in Houston, Texas
(www.stlukestexas.com) is a good example of a hospital that has made
effective use wireless technologies to streamline clinical work processes.
Their wireless network is distributed throughout several hospital buildings
and is used in many different applications. The majority of the St. Luke’s
staff uses wireless devices to access data in real-time, 24 hours a day.
Examples include the following:
• Diagnosing patients and charting their progress: Doctors and
nurses use wireless laptops and tablet PCs to track and chart patient
care data.
• Prescriptions: Medications are dispensed from a cart that is wheeled
from room to room. Clinician uses a wireless scanner to scan the
patient's ID bracelet. If a prescription order has been changed or
cancelled, the clinician will know immediately because the mobile device
displays current patient data.
http://www.stlukestexas.com/
C9-2
• Critical care units: These areas use the WLAN because running hard
wires would mean moving ceiling panels. The dust and microbes that
such work stirs up would pose a threat to patients.
• Case management: The case managers in the Utilization Management
Department use the WLAN to document patient reviews, insurance
calls/authorization information, and denial information. The wireless
session enables real time access to information that ensures the correct
level of care for a patient and/or timely discharge.
• Blood management: Blood management is a complex process that
involves monitoring both patients and blood products during all stages of
a treatment process. To ensure that blood products and patients are
matched correctly, St. Luke’s uses a wireless bar code scanning process
that involves scanning both patient and blood product bar codes during
the infusion process. This enables clinicians to confirm patient and blood
product identification before proceeding with t ...

Executive Summary
XYZ Development, LLC has requested ASU Geotechnical, Inc. to organize a geotechnical evaluation with recommendations regarding foundation for three planned structures. XYZ Development, LLC has planned to construct a three-story medical tower, a one-story office building, and a multi-story parking garage on a 10-acre property that is in West Memphis, AR. In addition, an 18-feet high retaining wall is planned to be constructed on the north side of the parking garage.
ASU Geotechnical, Inc. was provided with soil data included a log of a borehole that extended to a depth of 100 feet. Has recommended a 6’ x 6’ shallow foundation for the one- story building at depth of 5 feet. The expected settlement under the foundation for the parking garage was calculated to be 1.09 inches, and the expected settlement for the medical tower was calculated to be 0.78 inch. Also, ASU Geotechnical, Inc. has recommended a drilled shaft deep foundation design to be used for the three-story medical tower. Furthermore, for the 3-story medical tower the pile should have a diameter of 48 inches and reach a depth of 40 feet below the ground surface with a total of 2 piles required per column. For the multi-story parking garage, a drilled shaft should have a diameter of 48 inches and reach a depth of 70 feet below the ground surface with a total of 2 piles required per column.
The expected total differential settlement for the parking garage was calculated to be 0.31 inches, and the total differential settlement for the tower was calculated to be 0.23 inch. The recommended dimensions for the retaining wall include a 12-foot-wide footing base with 1.5-foot thickness. The entire retaining wall should have a total height of 20 feet, with only 18 feet above the ground surface. The 0.5 foot of soil above the toe was placed to adjust the effects of sliding of the wall. The base of the stem wall should have a thickness of 1.5-foot, and the top of the stem wall should have a thickness of 8 inches. Also, the factor of safety for sliding was calculated to be 1.59, the factor of safety for the bearing capacity was calculated to be 2.78

Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Weekly Lectures/Week 1 Lecture Strategy.htmlMGMT 670:
Week 1 Lecture
Week 1: Strategy, business models, competitive advantage,
vision, mission, objectives. Students will learn that business
strategy is the business’s long term goals. They will learn how
to create the mission and vision statements and objectives to
achieve the strategic vision of the company. They will learn
how to identify the business model used by a business.
Learning Objectives:Discuss business strategy and the strategic
management process.Differentiate between the vision and
mission statements and how to create them.Identify a company’s
objectives and discuss how they contribute to a company’s
strategy.Learn the three tests of a winning strategy.Identify the
model used by a business.What is Strategy?
According to Watkins (2007), business strategy is “a set of
guiding principles that, when communicated and adopted in the
15. organization, generates a desired pattern of decision making. A
strategy is therefore about how people throughout the
organization should make decisions and allocate resources in
order accomplish key objectives.” BusinessDictionary.com
(n.d.) defines strategic management as “The systematic analysis
of the factors associated with customers and competitors (the
external environment) and the organization itself (the internal
environment) to provide the basis for maintaining optimum
management practices. The objective of strategic management is
to achieve better alignment of corporate policies and strategic
priorities.” These two definitions give insight into the topics
we’ll be studying this semester.
