Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are critical cyclic processes that support life on Earth. Photosynthesis uses sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen in chloroplasts. Cellular respiration in mitochondria uses glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. These interdependent processes are linked to specific organelles and have been vitally important to the evolution and diversity of life through their cyclic interaction of matter and energy transfer.

The use of teams in organizations has grown exponentially in recent decades due to increased competition. Teams are more popular because they can better utilize employee talents, be more flexible and responsive to change, and help motivate employees by increasing participation in decision making. The chapter aims to analyze the popularity of teams, contrast different types of teams and groups, identify characteristics of effective teams, and determine when individuals should be used instead of teams.

Philosophy 7 Asian Philosophy (Fall 2019) Paper Guidelines .docx

ssuser562afc1

Philosophy 7: Asian Philosophy (Fall 2019) Paper Guidelines 1 Paper #3: Chinese Philosophy You may choose to write about either Confucianism (A) or Daoism (B). (A) Confucianism: Kongzi (Confucius) or Mengzi (Mencius) Choose a passage from one of the primary Confucian texts that we read: The Analects or The Mengzi. Whatever you choose, you must confine your essay to one of our authors’ texts: either Confucius’ Analects or Mencius’ Mengzi. You may choose any passage you like but you may only write within the context of one of the two thinkers. and Analyze and explain it as thoroughly and precisely as you can, staying close to the text of the author you choose (using its terminology, following its reasoning, etc.). This point is important: refer to, quote, paraphrase, and cite Confucius’ or Mencius’ text—his words, his terms, his explanations, his examples, etc.—to aid your explanation of the idea. The closer you stay to the text, the clearer your explanation will be. (B) Daoism: Laozi or Zhuangzi Choose a passage from one of the primary Daoist texts that we read: The Daodejing or The Zhuangzi. Whatever you choose, you must confine your essay to one of our authors’ texts: either Laozi’s Daodejing or Zhuangzi’s Zhuangzi. You may choose any passage you like but you may only write within the context of one of the two thinkers. and Analyze and explain it as thoroughly and precisely as you can, staying close to the text of the author you choose (using its terminology, following its reasoning, etc.). This point is important: refer to, quote, paraphrase, and cite Laozi’s or Zhuangzi’s text—his words, his terms, his explanations, his examples, etc.—to aid your explanation of the idea. The closer you stay to the text, the clearer your explanation will be. Note on Daoism: Remember that these specific texts are notoriously opaque and mysterious, and their purpose seems to be, quite explicitly in some cases, to effect an experiential change in thinking on the part of the reader. So, if you choose this option, give yourself time to let the text affect you and wash over you. It is common that the sense of particular passages vacillates and shifts as one reads them again and again. So try— without trying, of course (i.e., in a wu wei fashion)—to give yourself ample room to maneuver within the text’s mysterious spaces, as Zhuangzi’s butcher’s blade maneuver’s freely within the heavenly contours of the ox’s carcass. Philosophy 7: Asian Philosophy (Fall 2019) Paper Guidelines 2 In these papers, I want you to try to capture the essence of what you choose. You might imagine that what you are trying to do is teach someone what passage means within the context of Confucianism or Daoism. I am looking for in-depth and detailed analysis/explanation. Paper Details Due Date SUNDAY, May 3rd on Canvas by MIDNIGHT Paper Length At least 3 full pages of text (“full” beginning.

Phil 2101 Final PaperGuidelines Approximately 5 pages, doubl.docx

ssuser562afc1

Phil 2101: Final Paper Guidelines: Approximately 5 pages, double spaced, 1” margins, 12 pt. font, to be submitted in hard copy at the time of the final exam. In explaining each author’s respective arguments, you should use quotes from the text, to justify your attributions. However, no outside sources should be used. No, bibliography is required, however, you should note in parentheses the page on which the quoted material is found (in either edition of the text). Ex: Nagel claims that arguing that evil is only the absence of good will not help to dispel the problem, for “facts are not altered or abolished by rebaptizing them” (p. 91). At least one page of the paper should be dedicated to your defense of the final question of each option. Option 1: Are there rational grounds for belief in God despite the existence of evil? Critically evaluate Nagel's argument for atheism against Swinburne's theodicy. Does Swinburne provide a sufficient response to the problem of evil in your view? Why or why not? Defend your answer. Option 2: Are human beings free and responsible agents? Weigh the argument for hard determinism (discussed by Ayer) against either Ayer or Frankfurt's soft determinist response and the libertarian argument posed by Taylor. Who has the best argument, in your view, and why? Defend your answer. Option 3: Mill alleges that morally correct actions are those that result in the greatest happiness for all affected? Is this true? Consider the objections to utilitarianism raised by the problem cases in Williams's "Critique of Utilitarianism" and/or the so-called Trolley Problem. Are these real problems for the theory or does the Utilitarian get the answer right even in these difficult cases? Defend your answer. NOTE: All papers submitted in hard copy are scanned and uploaded in .pdf format to TurnItIn for archiving and plagiarism detection purposes. It is your responsibility to review the university guidelines on plagiarism prior to submission. Plagiarism will result in an automatic F for the class and initiation of BC disciplinary proceedings.

Ph2A Win 2020 Homework Project No.3 Max Yuen March 2020 Problem 1: It’s raining . . . Objects falling through the atmosphere will experience drag forces. In this exercise, you will discover why smoke and ash take a long time to settle, why clouds seem to float, why rain falls, etc. In this exercise, we will use the drag model and assume spherical particles so CD = 0.47. The density of air is 1.2kg/m3, approximately. A) The diameter of a typical rain drop is on the order of 0.5mm to 8.0mm. Use the drag model to find out how long for a drop of water to fall 1 meter in the sky. The density of water is about 1.00g/cc (hint: compute the terminal velocity and use it to find out the time to fall 1 meter. Do this for 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 2.0mm) B) When there’s a forest fire or a volcano erupts, a lot of small particles are thrusted into the atmosphere. These particles will reach terminal velocity rapidly and there are several categories. They are denoted as PM50, PM2.5, etc. The number after PM is the particle size in micrometers. PM2.5 means 2.5 micrometers or smaller. This is a dangerous category and can make people sick. Compute the time it takes for these particles to fall from an initial height of about 9km. The range of densities of the lighter particles is from 0.7g/cc to 2.45g/cc. C) When a nuclear weapon detonates, the particles generated in the fall out can be as small as 10nm. How long will a sphere of Iodine-131 of diameter 10 nm, 100 nm, 1.0 micron, 20 microns stay in the air if the "air burst" put the particles at an initial height of 20km? What if you had strong winds that "carried" the particles say at 20mph in the horizontal direction. How much area would the ash cover? Assume the density of Iodine to be about 4.9g/cc. 1 Problem 2: Sailboat You are sailing on the open sea, but you see an island in front of you. You’d like to explore it, but the wind is blowing directly from the island toward you! If you point your sails so that it catches the maximum wind force, you will be pushed away from the island. How can you get to the island? HINT: Google search: Points of Sail. A diagram of a sailboat is shown below. Sail Mast Boom Boat Wind Heading Force KeelRudder Sail Jib Mast Boom Keel Keel Force Sail Force Figure 1: Diagram showing a typical sailboat with various components. The jib and sail convert wind energy into a force that pushes the mast. The mast couples the force to the boat body. The keel is in the water and keeps the boat going along the long direction. The rudder helps steer the boat. The force diagram shows how the forces act to produce the heading force, which moves the ship forward. 2 Running head: GOVERNMENT PAPER 1 GOVERNMENT PAPER 3 Social Responsibility YaMika S.

The business started in San Diego, California and expanded all the way to Oregon by 1980, creating 40 retail store locations. By 1988, Petstore had acquired two smaller pet supply chains and more than tripled its number of store locations, entering the Washington and Texas markets. Live animals were introduced in the late 80s as well. By 1992, Petstore had opened its first East Coast stores in New Jersey and coined their signature phrase, “Where the Pets Go.” By 1994, Petstore was the largest pet specialty retailer, operating in 13 states with 218 stores. They went public under the ticker symbol PETC. The company has gone back and forth from being publicly traded to privately held. It was bought out by Leonard Green Partners and Texas Pacific Group in 2000, but again went public in 2002. The company became privately held again in 2006 by investment groups led by TPG. Ten years later, the company was acquired by CVC Capital Partners and Can.

Peter Jennings’s Magnifying Glass .................................. 1 Peter Jennings’s Magnifying Glass NO WAY, I SAID TO MYSELF. We’re not going to let ABC News barge into the R. W. Beckett Corporation, shoot a lot of footage, extract a few sound bites and say whatever they want to say about us on national TV! So went my reasoning as I hung up after the phone call from ABC’s headquarters in New York. After all, hadn’t they told me they were considering other companies they could feature? Why us? It would just be an intrusion, and for what benefit? In fact, the wrong kind of coverage could be damaging. The news team had learned about the Beckett Corporation a year earlier. I had spearheaded a national effort, taking issue with the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC) after the agency had issued a set of guidelines many thought would restrict religious freedom in the workplace—such as the right to display a poster for a religious event or sing Christmas carols at a company dinner. National media had run stories on the resulting controversy. Now ABC News was following up with our company, wanting to learn more of how we were relating our faith to our business practices. I knew from earlier experiences with the media that we needed to be cautious. I thought back to the time a regional magazine did a satirical feature story on our company, lampooning some of our most important values. On the title page I was piously caricatured in a robe and a halo—not the most endearing way for a CEO to be profiled to the greater Cleveland business community! I didn’t want something like that to happen again, especially in front of a national TV audience. But ABC needed an immediate reply. As reluctant as I was to agree, something that had happened earlier that day gave me pause. In a planning meeting with our senior management team, I had talked about how we could do a better job of making an impact on the marketplace with our core values, such as integrity and excellence. I had referred to a verse from the Bible that speaks about our being salt and light in the world, “a city on a hill [that] cannot be hidden.” As I recalled that discussion, I decided it would be hypocritical not to think seriously about ABC’s request. We weren’t going to scatter much salt or shed much light if we yanked the welcome mat from Peter Jennings, America’s most widely watched news anchor. The day after our affirmative reply, ABC’s news team arrived at the company—a camera crew from Chicago, a producer from New York, and Peggy Wehmeyer, a correspondent from Dallas. 2 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Persuasive SpeechOrganization plays a central role in a persua.docx

Persuasive Speech Organization plays a central role in a persuasive speech: The speech must logically establish why the audience must change. (Unless audience members believe there is something wrong with what they are doing or feeling, they are unlikely to change.) Although other persuasive designs are also effective in preempting psychological resistance to change, the most widely used organizational pattern for public speaking is Monroe’s motivated sequence. 1. Gain the audience’s attention. Attention getters grab the audience, arousing Curiosity about what the speaker is going to say. To help avoid the effects of psychological resistance, the preview statement should be omitted. 2. Identify unfulfilled needs. The speaker must establish a clear, urgent, and unfulfilled Need in the mind of the audience. This is a critical step in the sequence. No solutions should be proposed during this stage. 3. Propose a solution that satisfies. Present the solution to the needs or problems described in Step 2. During this stage, speakers must also identify and eliminate possible objections to the solution. 4. Visualize the resulting satisfaction. Intensify audience members’ desire for the solution by getting them to visualize what their lives will be like once they’ve adopted it. Use vivid images and verbal illustrations to support the benefits of the proposed solution. 5. Define specific actions. In the final step, the speaker must turn the audience’s agreement and commitment into positive action. Tell audience members what they need to do to obtain the described solution and its benefits. 6. Making the most of Monroe’s motivated sequence: To make the most of Monroe’s motivated sequence, the steps should be followed in sequence. The sequence closely resembles a problem-solution organizational format, but it digresses from linear logic in several ways. In the attention-getter step, the structure deviates from linearity by noting potential objections and dispelling audience concerns or problems with a solution. The most critical principle in Monroe’s sequence is the identification of the audience’s needs before proposing a solution. Worksheet for Monroe’s Motivated Sequence (Use this format.)

Petrakis Family Episode 4 Program Transcript CINDY: She was so upset with me. She told me I was too young to be doing this job-- yelled at me. FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, what set her off? [MUSIC PLAYING] CINDY: She found out her son's been getting the refills on his grandmother's oxy prescription and taking the pills himself. He's also been forging her name-- withdrawing money from her bank accounts. FEMALE SPEAKER: OK. I think we need to figure out how to help the client. What's her name again? CINDY: Helen. She also said that he's been taking valuable from his grandmother's house. What a mess. I'm so sorry. FEMALE SPEAKER: We need to call APS. CINDY: Oh, we can't. Helen already blames me for suggesting her son move in with his grandma in the first place. This will just make it worse. FEMALE SPEAKER: Take it easy, Cindy. CINDY: This is all my fault. I thought it was a good plan, I really did. FEMALE SPEAKER: Cindy. Look, I'm your field instructor, and here comes a teachable moment, OK? Advising a client like you did was not a good idea. In fact, it was unethical. But you are not responsible for the actions that other people take. Helen made her own choice when she decided to go along with your suggestions. Do you understand? CINDY: Yes. FEMALE SPEAKER: All right. Our job now is to figure out our next steps. Now, will you do that with me? CINDY: Yeah, OK.

Peter and Andrew are brothers. Since childhood, they have wanted to .docx

ssuser562afc1

Peter and Andrew are brothers. Since childhood, they have wanted to convert a barn on their grandfather’s farm into a hunting and fishing lodge that would provide modest but comfortable accommodations for sportspersons using nearby recreational lands. Andrew has suggested that they bring his friend, Paul, into the business, as well. While Peter and Andrew would develop the property, Paul has experience in the hospitality industry and could manage the day-to-day operations. Peter and Andrew would also want to make the lodge available to local church groups for worship retreats. They haven’t yet discussed this with Paul, because they know he is not comfortable with most churches and their positions on social issues. The men are now discussing how to form the new business, and have narrowed their choices to a general partnership or a limited liability company (LLC). What would you advise, and why? Consider and discuss issues such as: What personal liability will the owners have for the obligations of the business (contracts, debts, lawsuit judgments, etc.) Should Paul be included as a co-owner, or in some other role? On what do you base that decision? How would contributions to the new business be valued? How would profits and losses be distributed? *** MUST BE 300 WORDS *** .

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP

RAHUL

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade. The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization, population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different 'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the land. The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover. Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface, providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and diverse human activities. Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems 9 Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can occur natural.
