This document describes the development of a model-based neural controller for a distillation column. A neural network is trained to model the relationship between manipulated and controlled variables. The network is then inverted to determine the necessary manipulated variable adjustments to compensate for disturbances. The neural controller is compared to a conventional temperature controller and a neural inferential controller. Simulation results show the neural controller responds faster to disturbances and setpoint changes. The key advantage of the neural controller is its ability to directly determine the needed control action through process modeling and inversion.
Shortcut Design Method for Multistage Binary Distillation via MS-ExceIJERA Editor
Multistage distillation is most widely used industrial method for separating chemical mixtures with high energy consumptions especially when relative volatility of key components is lower than 1.5. The McCabe Thiele is considered to be the simplest and perhaps most instructive method for the conceptual design of binary distillation column which is still widely used, mainly for quick preliminary calculations. In this present work, we provide a numerical solution to a McCabe-Thiele method to find out theoretical number of stages for ideal and non-ideal binary system, reflux ratio, condenser duty, reboiler duty, each plate composition inside the column. Each and every point related to McCabe-Thiele in MS-Excel to give quick column dimensions are discussed in details
The document provides an overview of distillation and APV's role in developing distillation systems. It discusses the basic principles of distillation, including vapor-liquid equilibrium and how differences in vapor pressure allow for separation of components. Distillation involves boiling the mixture to produce vapor with a different composition than the liquid, and then condensing and reboiling to gradually concentrate components. The key factors that determine how easily components can be separated are the relative volatility and vapor pressure. APV has over 70 years of experience providing customized distillation systems and services to various industries.
The document presents a compartment-based model to describe the degradation kinetics of a peptide substrate reporter (VI-B) in five cell cultures. The model uses a system of differential equations to track the concentration of the reporter and its fragments over time. Parameters of the model are fitted to time-series data from the cultures. Results show variation in degradation rates between cultures and fragments, revealing targets of peptidases. The model has potential utility in peptide substrate reporter design.

New calculation of thetray numbers for Debutanizer Tower in BIPCinventionjournals
The document describes methods for calculating the number of trays in a debutanizer tower. It presents data on the feed, overhead, and bottoms compositions. It then calculates the relative volatilities of components using vapor pressure data. The Montross and Underwood methods are used to calculate the minimum reflux ratio and number of theoretical trays. For the debutanizer tower, the Montross method estimates the number of trays is 18.5% higher than the minimum, while the Underwood method estimates 48.5% higher, indicating overdesign.
This document proposes an intelligent control system using artificial neural networks to control an extractive distillation process for producing anhydrous ethanol. The control system aims to simultaneously reject disturbances in the azeotropic ethanol-water feed and allow changes to the ethanol product specification, while maintaining minimum energy consumption. The control system would determine new setpoints for existing controllers in the extractive and recovery distillation columns. Simulation results showed the intelligent control system had superior performance compared to a conventional control system in the presence of feed disturbances or specification changes.
1) The document describes the modeling of a flash vaporizer unit that separates a binary mixture of water and ethanol. Both stationary and dynamic models are developed.
2) For the stationary model, component balances, equilibrium equations, summation equations, and an energy balance are applied. The Wilson activity coefficient model is used.
3) Controller equations for level, pressure, and temperature are developed for the dynamic model. Degree of freedom analysis is performed.

The document describes combining the UNIWAALS equation of state with an algorithm for calculating simultaneous chemical and phase equilibria (CPE). This allows CPE calculations for reactive systems containing gases, polar compounds, or both over a broad range of temperatures and pressures using a single thermodynamic model. Examples are given applying the new procedure to different multicomponent reaction systems. The results show good agreement with previous calculations using a different equation of state, demonstrating the capability of performing CPE calculations with UNIWAALS.
Jean-Paul Gibson: Analysis Of An Open Feedwater Heater SystemJean-Paul Gibson
People often look surprised when I tell them that Thermodynamics was probably one of my favorite classes in school. This was the final project for my Thermo II class and was intended to be done in groups. I wanted to challenge myself to a near unnecessary limit by completing this entire project myself. The purpose of this project was to determine the optimum operating pressure for the feedwater heater for a power cycle (from a selected problem in the textbook). However the primary focus, and most difficult task, was writing a program in C++ to calculate multiple values for a selected problem in our textbook. I quite literally had to teach myself how to program in C++ well beyond the basics I had learned in an intro class. This program had to be capable of cross referencing multiple reference tables in the back of the book, each having dozens of values which had to be manually typed in. Which reference tables it pulled values from was dependent on the user inputted turbine efficiency and feedwater heater pressure. It easily took me over a month to debug and test this program to ensure it was always going to the correct reference tables to pull data when outputting the calculations it performed.
Update on 7/2/2016: I did attempt to make another program that would allow the user to type in any feedwater heater pressure rather than make a selection from values there was a reference table for in the back of the back. The program used a method of interpolation to obtain all the data needed to perform all the calculations that were outputted. I don't remember the last time I attempted to run that version of the program, but I seem to recall getting impossible answers outputted. This indicated to me that a more complicated method of interpolating values was required, or I just couldn't get it to work correctly. I ultimately decided against pursuing that version of the program any further. Just getting it work correctly with a predefined list of pressures to select from was difficult enough.
The document describes an experiment using a NaI(TI) detector and multi-channel analyzer to identify an unknown radioactive element. Students calibrated the analyzer using cobalt-60, cesium-137, and barium-133 sources. Analysis of calibration data allowed the unknown source to be identified as sodium-22 based on its 1,115 keV gamma ray peak. The experiment demonstrated that gamma-ray spectroscopy is effective for radioactive source identification.
Multi-Machine Stability Using Dynamic Inversion Technique IJECEIAES
Stability studies of multi machine system are a major concern to power system engineers due to the increasing complexity involved. This paper deals with the application of a nonlinear technique called Dynamic Inversion, to TCSC for the improvement of stability of multi-machine system. The transient stability studies for various cases: without any controller, with 75% line compensation and with Dynamic Inversion technique, are compared. The critical clearing time as well as the maximum loading ability is also discussed. The result for the nonlinear controller is found to be better than all the other cases.
This document discusses two separation processes for an azeotropic mixture of isobutyl alcohol and isobutyl acetate: extractive distillation using n-butyl propionate as a solvent, and pressure-swing distillation. The document describes simulations of both processes carried out using Aspen HYSYS and DISTIL software with UNIQUAC activity models and experimentally obtained binary parameters. The simulations were used to optimize the processes and evaluate them economically. The results showed that for treating 12,000 metric tons per year of the mixture, pressure-swing distillation was more economically attractive than extractive distillation using n-butyl propionate as the solvent.

Abstract
The report abstract is a short summary of the report. It is usually one paragraph (100-200 words) and should include
about one or two sentences on each of the following main points:
1. Purpose of the experiment
2. Key results
3. Major points of discussion
4. Main conclusions
Tip: It may be helpful if you complete the other sections of the report before writing the abstract. You can basically
draw these four main points from them.
example: In this experiment a very important physical effect was studied by measuring the dependence of a quantity
V of the quantity X for two different sample temperatures. The experimental measurements confirmed the quadratic
dependence V = kX2 predicted by Someone’s first law. The value of the mystery parameter k = 15.4 ± 0.5 s was
extracted from the fit. This value is not consistent with the theoretically predicted ktheory = 17.34 s. This discrepancy
is attributed to low efficiency of the V -detector.
1. Introduction
This section is also often referred to as the purpose or
plan. It includes two main categories:
Purpose: It usually is expressed in one or two sen-
tences that include the main method used for accomplish-
ing the purpose of the experiment.
Ex: The purpose of the experiment was to determine
the mass of an ion using the mass spectrometer.
Background and theory: related to the experiment.
This includes explanations of theories, methods or equa-
tions used, etc.; for the example above, you might want to
explain the theory behind mass spectrometer and a short
description about the process and setup you used in the
experiment. It is important to remember that report needs
to be as straightforward as possible. You should comprise
only as much information as needed for the reader to un-
derstand the purpose and methods. Your should also pro-
vide additional information such as a hypothesis (what is
expected to happen in the experiment based on the theory)
or safety information. The main focus of the introduction
mainly focuses on supporting the reader to understand the
purpose, methods, and reasons for these particular meth-
ods.Purpose of the experiment

Elizabeth Towle Batch Distillation of Ethanol DesignElizabeth Towle
This document is a project report analyzing a batch distillation process to separate ethanol and water. Theoretical calculations using the Rayleigh equation and Aspen simulation software are compared to experimental data. The Rayleigh equation best matches the average distillate composition and total distillate volume, while Aspen POLYSRK most accurately predicts distillation time. Varying the column diameter and reflux ratio in Aspen affects distillation parameters like average distillate composition and time. Overall, the theoretical models provide reasonable approximations of the experimental batch distillation, validating it as a basis for process design.

Vapor Combustor Improvement Project LinkedIn Presentation February 2016Tim Krimmel, MEM
This document presents a vapor combustor/flare system improvement project for Baker Hughes Chemical Facility. It describes the development of a nonlinear programming model in Excel to analyze the vapor system's performance over changing variables. Field data was collected from pressure transmitters and flowmeters to validate the model. A meeting with plant engineers helped determine production risk probabilities and vapor stream loadings to apply in a Monte Carlo simulation. The model was validated by comparing its descriptive statistics to field data statistics. The goal is to systematically analyze the system and propose solutions to improve performance using modeling, simulation, and data.
Elizabeth Towle Separation Process for the Reutilization of Acetone and Metha...Elizabeth Towle
The document proposes two methods for separating a waste stream of 60% acetone and 40% methanol: a pressure swing distillation system with two columns and a single high pressure distillation column. The high pressure column is recommended as it is more cost effective at $73,160 compared to $112,500 for the pressure swing system. Both methods take advantage of changing the azeotrope composition through increased pressure to isolate relatively pure streams of 28% acetone, 95% acetone for reuse. Safety precautions are discussed for handling acetone and methanol.
- The document discusses using a modified genetic algorithm to optimize parameters for automatic generation control of multi-area electric energy systems.
- It proposes a modified genetic algorithm that employs one-point crossover with modification. The crossover site helps maintain diversity of search points while exploiting known optimal values, balancing exploration and exploitation.
- The algorithm is used along with decomposition techniques and trapezoidal integration to determine optimal control parameters for multi-area systems and obtain better dynamic performance under small load perturbations, with and without considering nonlinearity from governor deadbands.
Using Singular Spectrum Analysis to Model Electricity PricesNicolasRR
This document discusses using singular spectrum analysis (SSA) to model electricity prices. SSA decomposes time series data into trend, periodic, and noise components. The author applies SSA to French electricity prices, trading volumes, and consumption data. SSA shows the price trends are better correlated with consumption data than with trading volumes. The author proposes a model where the short-range price components are a function of short-range consumption components and noise, providing a physically-based way to link prices and consumption for scenario testing and analysis.
This document describes a temperature controlled fan project. It contains a block diagram showing the main components: an 8051 microcontroller, temperature sensor, ADC, motor driver, fan motor, and 7-segment displays. It also provides details on the working, which involves measuring temperature, displaying it on the 7-segment displays, and varying the fan speed based on the temperature using PWM. Simulation results and hardware implementation snapshots are included. The project aims to automatically control fan speed based on sensed temperature.
This summarizes a document presenting a case study on using a self-evolving neural network algorithm for fault prognosis in wind turbines. The study uses SCADA data from a real 2 MW wind turbine located in Sweden. An artificial neural network model is developed to estimate gearbox bearing temperatures based on inputs like oil temperature, nacelle temperature, turbine power, and RPM. The model is used to detect anomalies by comparing estimated vs. measured temperatures. When a major maintenance activity like gearbox replacement occurs, the model must be retrained due to changes in operating conditions. The case study demonstrates selecting an initial training dataset and later updating the model after a gearbox replacement using the proposed approach. Results show the approach allows the neural
Script for Comparison vertical flow models BHR Cannes June 14 2013 presentationPablo Adames
This document summarizes the presentation of a paper comparing mechanistic models of gas-liquid flow in vertical and deviated wells. It introduces the objectives of comparing published models and evaluating if more recent models perform better. The methodology section describes the models selected for comparison, well data used, and a relative performance index developed. The results section shows the original models performed poorly while the Gregory and OLGAS models performed the best overall based on the index calculations.
This document discusses reliability prediction based on multiple accelerated life tests. It provides examples of analyzing field data to determine failure rates and extract acceleration factors for different failure mechanisms. The key points are that traditional reliability models do not properly account for multiple failure mechanisms, and a physics-based approach is needed to separate mechanisms and make accurate reliability predictions over different operating conditions.

For this assignment, select
one
of the following options:
Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:
(Links to an external site.)
After reading the poem, address the following in a case study analysis:
Select a specific part of the world (a country), and examine imperialism in that country. What was the relationship between the invading country and the native people? You can select from these examples or choose your own:
- Belgium & Africa
- Britain & India
- Germany & Africa
- France & Africa
Apply social Darwinism to this specific case.
Analyze the motivations of the invading country?

Update on 7/2/2016: I did attempt to make another program that would allow the user to type in any feedwater heater pressure rather than make a selection from values there was a reference table for in the back of the back. The program used a method of interpolation to obtain all the data needed to perform all the calculations that were outputted. I don't remember the last time I attempted to run that version of the program, but I seem to recall getting impossible answers outputted. This indicated to me that a more complicated method of interpolating values was required, or I just couldn't get it to work correctly. I ultimately decided against pursuing that version of the program any further. Just getting it work correctly with a predefined list of pressures to select from was difficult enough.
The document describes an experiment using a NaI(TI) detector and multi-channel analyzer to identify an unknown radioactive element. Students calibrated the analyzer using cobalt-60, cesium-137, and barium-133 sources. Analysis of calibration data allowed the unknown source to be identified as sodium-22 based on its 1,115 keV gamma ray peak. The experiment demonstrated that gamma-ray spectroscopy is effective for radioactive source identification.
Multi-Machine Stability Using Dynamic Inversion Technique IJECEIAES
Stability studies of multi machine system are a major concern to power system engineers due to the increasing complexity involved. This paper deals with the application of a nonlinear technique called Dynamic Inversion, to TCSC for the improvement of stability of multi-machine system. The transient stability studies for various cases: without any controller, with 75% line compensation and with Dynamic Inversion technique, are compared. The critical clearing time as well as the maximum loading ability is also discussed. The result for the nonlinear controller is found to be better than all the other cases.
This document discusses two separation processes for an azeotropic mixture of isobutyl alcohol and isobutyl acetate: extractive distillation using n-butyl propionate as a solvent, and pressure-swing distillation. The document describes simulations of both processes carried out using Aspen HYSYS and DISTIL software with UNIQUAC activity models and experimentally obtained binary parameters. The simulations were used to optimize the processes and evaluate them economically. The results showed that for treating 12,000 metric tons per year of the mixture, pressure-swing distillation was more economically attractive than extractive distillation using n-butyl propionate as the solvent.

Title of the Report
A. Partner, B. Partner, and C. Partner
Abstract
The report abstract is a short summary of the report. It is usually one paragraph (100-200 words) and should include
about one or two sentences on each of the following main points:
1. Purpose of the experiment
2. Key results
3. Major points of discussion
4. Main conclusions
Tip: It may be helpful if you complete the other sections of the report before writing the abstract. You can basically
draw these four main points from them.
example: In this experiment a very important physical effect was studied by measuring the dependence of a quantity
V of the quantity X for two different sample temperatures. The experimental measurements confirmed the quadratic
dependence V = kX2 predicted by Someone’s first law. The value of the mystery parameter k = 15.4 ± 0.5 s was
extracted from the fit. This value is not consistent with the theoretically predicted ktheory = 17.34 s. This discrepancy
is attributed to low efficiency of the V -detector.
1. Introduction
This section is also often referred to as the purpose or
plan. It includes two main categories:
Purpose: It usually is expressed in one or two sen-
tences that include the main method used for accomplish-
ing the purpose of the experiment.
Ex: The purpose of the experiment was to determine
the mass of an ion using the mass spectrometer.
Background and theory: related to the experiment.
This includes explanations of theories, methods or equa-
tions used, etc.; for the example above, you might want to
explain the theory behind mass spectrometer and a short
description about the process and setup you used in the
experiment. It is important to remember that report needs
to be as straightforward as possible. You should comprise
only as much information as needed for the reader to un-
derstand the purpose and methods. Your should also pro-
vide additional information such as a hypothesis (what is
expected to happen in the experiment based on the theory)
or safety information. The main focus of the introduction
mainly focuses on supporting the reader to understand the
purpose, methods, and reasons for these particular meth-

Elizabeth Towle Batch Distillation of Ethanol DesignElizabeth Towle
This document is a project report analyzing a batch distillation process to separate ethanol and water. Theoretical calculations using the Rayleigh equation and Aspen simulation software are compared to experimental data. The Rayleigh equation best matches the average distillate composition and total distillate volume, while Aspen POLYSRK most accurately predicts distillation time. Varying the column diameter and reflux ratio in Aspen affects distillation parameters like average distillate composition and time. Overall, the theoretical models provide reasonable approximations of the experimental batch distillation, validating it as a basis for process design.
This document provides instructions for using an energy balance assessment tool (EBAT) to estimate the energy usage and carbon emissions from urban water systems.

Vapor Combustor Improvement Project LinkedIn Presentation February 2016Tim Krimmel, MEM
This document presents a vapor combustor/flare system improvement project for Baker Hughes Chemical Facility. It describes the development of a nonlinear programming model in Excel to analyze the vapor system's performance over changing variables. Field data was collected from pressure transmitters and flowmeters to validate the model. A meeting with plant engineers helped determine production risk probabilities and vapor stream loadings to apply in a Monte Carlo simulation. The model was validated by comparing its descriptive statistics to field data statistics. The goal is to systematically analyze the system and propose solutions to improve performance using modeling, simulation, and data.
Elizabeth Towle Separation Process for the Reutilization of Acetone and Metha...Elizabeth Towle
The document proposes two methods for separating a waste stream of 60% acetone and 40% methanol: a pressure swing distillation system with two columns and a single high pressure distillation column. The high pressure column is recommended as it is more cost effective at $73,160 compared to $112,500 for the pressure swing system. Both methods take advantage of changing the azeotrope composition through increased pressure to isolate relatively pure streams of 28% acetone, 95% acetone for reuse. Safety precautions are discussed for handling acetone and methanol.
- The document discusses using a modified genetic algorithm to optimize parameters for automatic generation control of multi-area electric energy systems.
- It proposes a modified genetic algorithm that employs one-point crossover with modification. The crossover site helps maintain diversity of search points while exploiting known optimal values, balancing exploration and exploitation.
- The algorithm is used along with decomposition techniques and trapezoidal integration to determine optimal control parameters for multi-area systems and obtain better dynamic performance under small load perturbations, with and without considering nonlinearity from governor deadbands.
Using Singular Spectrum Analysis to Model Electricity PricesNicolasRR
This document discusses using singular spectrum analysis (SSA) to model electricity prices. SSA decomposes time series data into trend, periodic, and noise components. The author applies SSA to French electricity prices, trading volumes, and consumption data. SSA shows the price trends are better correlated with consumption data than with trading volumes. The author proposes a model where the short-range price components are a function of short-range consumption components and noise, providing a physically-based way to link prices and consumption for scenario testing and analysis.
This document describes a temperature controlled fan project. It contains a block diagram showing the main components: an 8051 microcontroller, temperature sensor, ADC, motor driver, fan motor, and 7-segment displays. It also provides details on the working, which involves measuring temperature, displaying it on the 7-segment displays, and varying the fan speed based on the temperature using PWM. Simulation results and hardware implementation snapshots are included. The project aims to automatically control fan speed based on sensed temperature.
This summarizes a document presenting a case study on using a self-evolving neural network algorithm for fault prognosis in wind turbines. The study uses SCADA data from a real 2 MW wind turbine located in Sweden. An artificial neural network model is developed to estimate gearbox bearing temperatures based on inputs like oil temperature, nacelle temperature, turbine power, and RPM. The model is used to detect anomalies by comparing estimated vs. measured temperatures. When a major maintenance activity like gearbox replacement occurs, the model must be retrained due to changes in operating conditions. The case study demonstrates selecting an initial training dataset and later updating the model after a gearbox replacement using the proposed approach. Results show the approach allows the neural
Script for Comparison vertical flow models BHR Cannes June 14 2013 presentationPablo Adames
This document summarizes the presentation of a paper comparing mechanistic models of gas-liquid flow in vertical and deviated wells. It introduces the objectives of comparing published models and evaluating if more recent models perform better. The methodology section describes the models selected for comparison, well data used, and a relative performance index developed. The results section shows the original models performed poorly while the Gregory and OLGAS models performed the best overall based on the index calculations.
This document discusses reliability prediction based on multiple accelerated life tests. It provides examples of analyzing field data to determine failure rates and extract acceleration factors for different failure mechanisms. The key points are that traditional reliability models do not properly account for multiple failure mechanisms, and a physics-based approach is needed to separate mechanisms and make accurate reliability predictions over different operating conditions.

For this assignment, select
one
of the following options:
Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:
(Links to an external site.)
After reading the poem, address the following in a case study analysis:
Select a specific part of the world (a country), and examine imperialism in that country. What was the relationship between the invading country and the native people? You can select from these examples or choose your own:
- Belgium & Africa
- Britain & India
- Germany & Africa
- France & Africa
Apply social Darwinism to this specific case.

InstructionsFinancial challenges associated with changes.docxmaoanderton
Instructions
Financial challenges associated with changes to how healthcare organizations are reimbursed for healthcare services, the cost of implementing new technology and professionals to comply with federal requirements for electronic health records, and the increasing numbers of individuals who cannot pay for their healthcare represent only one issue for healthcare executives in the healthcare delivery system. But it has significant consequences for the viability and solvency of healthcare organizations. Healthcare executives don’t have a crystal ball; however, they do engage in forecasting the future based on what is currently known and examination of trends (Lee, 2015). To do this type of forecasting, healthcare executives are demonstrating techniques found in anticipatory management. According to their seminal research, Ashley and Morrison (1997) reported there are severe consequences for not anticipating future trends in a rapidly changing and complex society. The anticipatory management process they describe begins with scanning the environment to identify issues; creating issues briefs to inform stakeholders; prioritizing issues; assembling the team of experts; creating, implementing, and evaluating action plans and outcomes; and adjusting the course when necessary.
Last week, you compared healthcare delivery and costs in the United States with those in developed countries. This week, you will focus U.S. healthcare executives and how they prioritize the challenges confronting them to minimize the impact to their organizations.
As you prepare your assignment, consider these questions:
What challenges you have experienced in the healthcare workplace or when you have accessed your own healthcare provider?
Have you observed changes to how your personal health information is gathered and documented?
What technology is now being used which may be new to your workplace?
Were you required to take additional training in your current healthcare position due to the implementation of new technology?
Have you experienced a shortage of healthcare personnel in your workplace or at your healthcare provider’s office?
What effect have these situations had on you as the employee and patient?
After your examination of current literature on the trends, issues, and challenges for healthcare executives and their organization's review Ashley and Morrison’s seminal article (1997) on anticipatory management and utilize the sample chart shown for this assignment.
You may recreate this four-column table in a Word document and insert your issues/trends, identify which organizational area is/will be impacted by each issue/trend, and provide your rationale for the priority level you assigned each issue/trend. Be sure to use a title page for this assignment and a reference page in APA format. You will add rows to your tabl.

Develop an iconographic essay. Select a work from this module to write the essay on. Utilize the objectives and above information to develop the statement. The essay must include a thesis statement/introduction, supporting body, and conclusion. The conclusion should provide a synthesis of the statements and thesis into a final idea about what the audience should remember and take away from the assignment.
List the objects and subjects included in the painting
Provide an iconographic definition (ala dictionary or glossary for each item)
Identify the narrative source for each item (artist invention, poem, narrative, biblical, greco-roman, other presence, real life historical or cultural artifact as symbol, other artworks and ideas as symbols, etc.) (
ex. Alexander the Great as a symbol; American Flag as a symbol; Greek mythology as symbols; The hammer and sickle in Russia, the american eagle, a soldier, etc.)
Is there more than one context for the iconographic or symbolic representation of the idea? How many contexts or roles is each symbolic object fulfilling in presenting, adding, or relaying meaning about the subject; (current age vs. past age; multiple metaphors; multiple layers of ideas etc.)
Symbols and Icons in different contexts - define how the symbols and subjects make one idea serve another idea (A Greek god is rebranded and used in Rome. What does this act mean for Rome to use a Greek Religious concept)
What do the symbols mean in the age, or multiple ages, and how are we supposed to connect to them in the context of the work? - ex. How are greco-roman subject and symbols used and perceived in a Renaissance age? Why would someone in the Renaissance care about Ancient Greco-Roman gods and subjects, what’s in it for a Renaissance Italian or Renaissance Italy for that matter?
Analysis through Iconology
This kind of analysis usually is most useful for narrative works and art before the Modern period. Non-objective art or art with arbitrary subjects (such as DADA) don't work as well with this kind of analysis because narratives and conventional symbols are not a part of these works. Here you will look for a particular element that occurs in the object (an object, action, gesture, pose) and explain either:
when that same element occurs in other objects through history and how this object’s representation of it is unique, or
what that element means generally in art or to art historians—in other words, the traditional association an art historian might make between that depiction and some other thing.
The following video provides an example of Iconological analysis. The video speaks to the meaning of the gestures, iconography, meaning of certain types of depiction, and other narrative imagery and symbolism related to those narrative elements. https://youtu.be/rKhfFBbVtFg
If you are confused, read Erwin Panofsky’s essays on iconology and iconography, in which he defines these terms more extensively. Be w.

Part II
Natalie decides that she cannot afford to hire John to do her accounting. One way that she can ensure that her cash account does not have any errors and is accurate and up-to-date is to prepare a bank reconciliation at the end of each month. Natalie would like you to help her. She asks you to prepare a bank reconciliation for June 2020 using the information below.
Additionally, take the following information into account.
On June 30th, there were two outstanding checks: #595 for $238 and #604 for $297.
Premier Bank made a posting error to the bank statement: Check #603 was issued for $425, not $452.
The deposit made on June 20 was for $125, which Natalie received for teaching a class. Natalie made an error in recording this transaction.
The electronic funds transfer (EFT) was for Natalie’s cell phone use. Remember that she uses this phone only for business.
The NSF check was from Ron Black. Natalie received this check for teaching a class to Ron’s children. Natalie contacted Ron, and he assured her that she will receive a check in the mail for the outstanding amount of the invoice and the NSF bank charge.
For Part II of the assignment, complete the tasks below.
Prepare Cookie Creations’ bank reconciliation for June 30.
Prepare any necessary adjusting entries at June 30.
If a balance sheet is prepared for Cookie Creations at June 30, what balance will be reported as cash in the Current Asse.
InstructionsCommunities do not exist in a bubble. Often changes .docxmaoanderton
Instructions
Communities do not exist in a bubble. Often changes made in the larger society, driven by technology, have an unexpected effect on local communities. Consider the effects of the advancements in transportation technologies on communities. Routes of transportation have evolved from water to train to the road and then to air. Each of these advancements led to job displacement and changes in travel routes. In the United States, prior to the mid-1800s, the communities that thrived had water access and ports where the exchange of goods and services occurred. With the building of the transcontinental railway and the growth of transportation by rail, the communities that thrived had train depots. With the building of major highways in the 1900s, access to those roads became critical to survival. With each advancement, local communities were impacted, such that many communities that grew around train depots became ghost towns full of poverty, homelessness, and despair once train travel was no longer the primary means of human transportation.

and families overall?
· What specific concepts have you learned that have left a more
lasting impression or impact on you? How and/or why have
these concepts impacted you more significantly than others?
· What affirmations have you gained about your current or
future role working with at-risk children and families from
reflecting on your learning? Be sure to indicate what your
professional focus is (e.g., education, early childhood
education, family and community service, etc.).
· How has the construction and review of others’ websites added
value to your learning experience? Include challenges you may
have experienced during the process and how you overcame
them.
Guided Response: Respond to a minimum of two peers. Make an
effort to respond to someone in a similar professional field and
one with a different professional focus. What similarities and
differences did you discover between your peers’ and your own
overall learning and lasting impressions? Provide specific
feedback regarding the potential application of their learning to
their professional practice. How does the value they gleaned
from the website construction and sharing opportunities support
and differ from your own reflection on this process? As
mentioned in prior discussions, though two replies is the basic
expectation, for deeper engagement and learning you are
encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions
others have given to you to further the conversation while also
giving you opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise,
critical thinking, and real world experiences with the course
topics.

Week Six Instructor Guidance
Congratulations! And, welcome to the final week of EDU644:
Child and Family Welfare! Please be sure to review the Week
Six homepage for this course to see the specific learning
outcomes for the week, the schedule overview, the required and
recommended resources for the week, an introduction to the
week, and a listing of the assessments for the week. Next, be
sure to read this entire Instructor Guidance page.
Overview
Now is the time to reflect upon all you have learned and
experienced in this course. You have formed a foundational
concept of Child and Family Welfare including programming,
policies, resources, and strategies to best assist families and
children at risk. The past five weeks have addressed the
implementation of your website as a tool to provide support for
families and children at risk in your specialization. In Week Six
you will prepare your final website project consisting of the
requirements in the guidance. Also, you have the opportunity to
reflect deeply on your learning from Weeks One through Five in
the discussion thread.
Intellectual Elaboration
Reflecting on the EDU644 Experience
20. Over the last five weeks, we have focused on what it means to
be at-risk and the impact being an individual or group at risk
has on one’s ability to thrive. The ideas of team-based
approaches, the usage of different resources (local, state, and
federal), and the variety of populations at risk presented a
complex, yet targeted mosaic of opportunities to support
families and children at risk in order to improve their quality of
living and student academic success. As you reflect on the
numerous models, approaches, and strategies, think of how they
can be best applied to the populations at risk in a way that
builds long-term solutions.
Why Reflect?
Through reflective practice, a practitioner of any type can
reframe a troubling situation so problem-solving actions may
occur. Reflection is part of the learning process, whether a
novice or an expert. It allows one to utilize a repertoire of
understanding, images, and actions so as to respond most
effectively (Merickel, 1998). Progressing into the Week 6
discussion and final project requires you to contemplate your
learning experiences, course assessments, and concepts
examined during the course and determine their impact on you.
You will also relate your learning to that of your current or
anticipated role working with children and families at risk. As
both a learner and a professional, taking time to reflect upon
your own practice as well as the behaviors and progress of your
students or clients, is the first step in creating a road map
toward finding solutions or applying improvements.
Take time during Week Six to reflect on all you have learned
and accomplished!
21. Assessment Guidance
This section includes additional specific assistance for excelling
in the discussions for Week Six beyond what is given with the
instructions for the assessments. If you have questions about
what is expected on any assessment for Week Six, contact your
instructor using the Ask Your Instructor discussion before the
due date.
Discussion: Course Reflection
This discussion is an opportunity for you to further demonstrate
mastery with the five course learning outcomes, which are noted
on the course Syllabus.The course reflection allows you to
connect your ideas about families and children at risk by
selecting the most relevant experiences and resources that can
guide successful interventions. Select two or more aspects of
the course that is relevant for you as well as for improving the
lives of families and children. Consider your current or
anticipated professional position. How do you anticipate your
learning in this course will contribute to the work you do?
This final discussion is the final opportunity for you to make
your learning authentic! It also provides the chance to
communicate with one another and gain additional insight to
others’ learning, bringing up points you may not have
considered in your own original response.
Final Project: Creating a Web-Based Resource for a Population
at Risk
The final project is the culminating and comprehensive
opportunity for you to demonstrate your mastery of the five
course learning outcomes, which are noted on the course
Syllabus. The activities and concepts in the course informed
you about populations at risk as well as strategies and resources
22. to support these varied groups. Through your website research,
you have gained models for the Final Project where you will
demonstrate mastery of the five course learning outcomes by
assuming the role of a professional working with individuals or
families at risk. The assignment is to further refine and expand
the website resource that describes this population and provides
strategies and resources to support it.
Specialization Pages Instructions: Create three additional pages
in your website linked from the Homepage. Title the pages
specifically for your selected group at risk as shown in Content
Expectations for the assignment. The intention of the
specialization pages is to present yourself as an “expert” in a
particular group or sub-group, providing specific information
and supports related to the group. You may select a specific
group at risk from any of those studied during Weeks One
through Five or another specific group at risk not specifically
featured within the course. Many such groups are discussed in
the Rubin text such as children with trauma related issues and
PTSD, separation and attachment issues, and other groups such
as homeless veterans, and Central American refugee children
for which resources are recommended. It is recommend the
required information be represented using a mix of both text
and graphics such as charts, tables, and graphs. If a group
previously covered during the course work is selected as your
specialization, you must include information that expands upon
what was already shared in the previously designed pages,
showing more depth and different information than previously
learned and shared.
Also note in the Content Expectations the need to produce a text
(written) version of your website. This is purely for
accountability purposes during the evaluation process and to
verify originality through Turn It In (TII) which cannot occur
by reviewing the website alone.
