How are standing waves similar to beats and how are they different? Typing only, no handwriting Solution Standing waves and beats are similar in many aspects both have same amplitude .but in standing waves frequencies of both waves are same but in beats two waves have nearly equal frequencies not exactly same. Standing waves propagate in same direction. But in stationary waves propagate in different direction. Standing wavea also known as stationary waves. When two sets of progressive waves trains of the same type (i.e. both longitudinal or both transverse) having the same amplitude and same time period/ frequency/ wavelength travelling with same speed along the same straight line in opposite directions superimpose, a new set of waves are formed. These are called stationary waves or standing waves. When two sound waves of equal amplitude and nearly equal frequencies travelling in a medium along the same direction superimpose on each other, the intensity of the resultant sound at a particular position rises and falls alternately with time. The phenomenon of alternate variation in the intensity of sound with time at a particular position, when two sound waves of newly equal frequencies and amplitudes travelling in the same direction superimpose on each other. .

How are corporate abuse of power corporate fraud, and corporate economic exploitation interrelated? Which segments of society seem to bear the largest burden from these forms of corporate crime, and which segments seem least vulnerable? Which of these forms of corporate crime concern you most, and which concern you least, and why? Solution Nader Proposes Crackdown on Corporate Crime, Fraud and Abuse The US needs to crackdown on corporate crime, fraud and abuse that have in the last four years looted and drained trillions of dollars from workers, investors, pension holders and consumers. Among the reforms needed are resources to prosecute and convict the corporate executive crooks and to democratize corporate governance so shareholders have real power; pay back ill-gotten gains; rein in executive pay; and enact corporate sunshine laws, among others. Below are twelve initial steps for an effective crackdown on corporate crime, fraud and abuse. The Nader campaign will return to this issue and expand the discussion on the solution to corporate crime and abuse.

How can biometric technology be used to fight cybercrime and cyber related crimes? What controversies does the use of this technology raise? Solution Biometric technology is a measurement of unique behavioural and physical characteristics of a human required for personal identification since each individual has a unique identitiy. Features like DNA, face detection, finderprints, voice recognition, palm prints etc. This technology is used largely in figting and preventing crimes. Biometric technology in Cyber crime works as below: 1. Record - Record basic data of the user, then capture image of voice of the user using a sensor or scanner. 2.Store- Store the image or voice recorded as a graph using a computer 3.Compare - Compare the stored information with recorded information and either accept or reject the authenticated information.This requires a specific software to analyse the characteristics of a code and compare. Controversies:Use of biometric technology is not without controversies. 1. Many people fear that the Government of Cyber Crime Cell may use biometrics to track people during everyday transactions. 2.There is chance of personal identification information being misplaced. 3. There is fear in hackers using biometrics to hack one\'s personal data. .

Hi all! someone help me pls Fraud examination I need to write an essay with five paragraphs Chapter 5, Case 9 Sally was aware of a fraud being committed by one of her coworkers, but she never reported it. What are some possible reasons for her hesitancy to come forward? Solution Fraud is an act of unlawful gain without hurting physically to others. This is a secret act of stealing benefits. Fraud was noticed but not reported due to the following reasons: Self-centered : The person might be self-centered. She might have no interest of seeing other things apart from her duty. Unaware of consequence : The person might have no knowledge of consequence of fraud. Fraud not only creates loss of wealth, but it is also the loss of net income on regular basis. She might be unaware of such loss. Threat of life : The person might have belief that if the fraud is reported, her life would be in danger. In that case she will not report it. Corruption all rounds : If everybody is corrupted, reporting would be useless. Therefore, she may be reluctant to do reporting. Well-known coworker : If the coworker is well-known, the person might be manipulated not to disclose the fraud. .

Here is a list of the main characters in Shakespeare\'s Romeo and Juliet. The first seven characters are male and the last four are female. Escalus, prince of Verona Paris, kinsman to the prince Romeo, of Montague Household Mercutio, friend of Romeo Benvolio, friend of Romeo Tybalt, nephew to Lady Capulet Friar Lawrence, a Franciscan Lady Montague, of Montague Household Lady Capulet, of Capulet Household Juliet, of Capulet Household Juliet\'s Nurse A total of 13 male and 7 female actors are available to play these roles. How many possible casts are there? (All roles are to be played by actors of the same gender as the character.) I have worked this out multiple times and just can\'t get it right...please help. I would like the solution as well as how you came to it if possible. Solution We need to combine a choice of 7 out of 13 possible male actors with a choice of 4 out of 7 possible female actors. 13C7 * 7C4 = [13! / (7! 6!)] * [7! / (4! 4!)] = [13*12*11*10*9*8 / (6*5*4*3*2*1)] * [7*6*5 / (4*3*2*1)] = 1716 * 8.75 = 15015 possible casts. .

1. How many ATOMS of sulfur are present in 2.25 moles of sulfur trioxide ? ____ atoms of sulfur. 2. How many MOLES of oxygen are present in 1.01Ã—1023 molecules of sulfur trioxide ? ___moles of oxygen. Solution Ans. #1. 1 mol SO 3 consists of 1 S-atoms. So, moles of S in SO 3 = 2.25 mol Now, Number of S-atoms = Moles of S x N A = 2.25 mol x (6.022 x 10 23 atoms/ mol) = 1.355 x 10 24 atoms #2. Moles of SO 3 = Number of SO 3 molecules / N A = 1.01 x 10 23 molecule / (6.022 x 10 23 molecules / mol) = 0.1677 mol # 1 SO 3 molecule consists of 3 O-atoms. So, Moles of O = 3 x Moles of SO 3 = 3 x 0.1677 mol = 0.5032 mol .

How does having a scope and WBS help project teams during project execution? Why is it difficult to develop good plans? The main purpose of project planning is to guide project execution. To guide execution, plans must be realistic and useful, so a fair amount of effort must go into the project planning process (Schwalbe, 2013). Planning is often the most difficult and unappreciated process in project management because people often do not want to take the time to plan well, but theory and practice show that good planning is crucial to good execution (Schwalbe, 2013). 2. Name the main planning tasks performed as part of project integration management? What are the main documents created, and what should they contain?

How are medieval instruments similar to todays instruments? How are they different? 4. What is the importance of Josquin des Prez to musical composition? Solution 1. How did the Roman Catholc church influence music in the Middle Ages? The Roman Catholic Church used the Gregorian Chant as their official music during the Middle Ages. Chanting was monotonous and performed by monks but eventually developed a more melodic sound. Masses were sung. The Church did not use musical instruments to accompany the singing because that was associated with Pagan rites. Secular music was extremely popular at that time as was dancing. Both were enjoyed at gatherings. Secular music employed flutes, horns, drums and stringed instruments. Church music and secular music were very different and the Church didn\'t have much of an influence on secular music during the Middle Ages. 2. What is polyphony? Why did composers of the earliest polyphony use chant as the basis for their works? P olyphony is a texture consisting of two or more simultaneous lines of independent melody, as opposed to music with just one voice (monophony) or music with one dominant melodic voice accompanied by chords (homophony). Twelfth-century composers, such as L .

1. Experiments show that the hydronium ion, H3O, is actually further hydrated so that the proton may have several water molecules associated with it. Why then do we use H3O\', and even more frequently H\', to represent the aqueous proton? Solution Actuall H + does not exist in aqueous solutions it is always exist as H 3 O + (aq) and this is correct way of representation. Further, hydronium ion is not a unique species and can pick up additional waters of hydration to form, for example H 5 O 2 + . So, while H 3 O + is more correct than writing H + , it is not prefectly correct. However, we will most often use H + , since more H 2 O is present, as compared with H + when we deal with weak acids for example HA is a weak acid and dissolved in water now we have HA (l) + H 2 O (l) <==> H 3 O + (aq) + A - (aq) dissociation constant K a = [H + ][A - ] / [HA] only H 3 O + (aq) <==> H + (aq) + H 2 O (l) Hope this helped you! Thank You So Much! Please Rate this answer as you wish.(\"Thumbs Up\") .

1. Do you agree with Judith Jarvis Thomson that every “privacy right” violation is a violation of another right? Explain your position. Solution Thomson points out problems with defining privacy as \"the right to be let alone;\' as Warren and Brandeis have done. In some respects, this definition of privacy is too narrow. Suppose the police use an X-ray device and supersensitive microphones to monitor the movements and conversations of Smith in his home. The police have not touched Smith or even come close to him. He has no knowledge they are monitoring him. The police have let Smith alone, yet people who believe in a right to privacy would surely argue that they have violated Smith\'s privacy. In other respects, the definition of privacy as \"the right to be let alone\" is too broad. If I hit Jones on the head with a brick, I have not let him alone, but it is not his right of privacy I have violated-it is his right to be secure in his own person. Thomson argues that whenever the right to privacy is violated, another right is violated as wel. even i agree with judith jarvis thomson . .
