“Our communication capabilities have raced ahead of our communication abilities. Our communication is getting worse” Base on the above quotation: 1. Do you find this true in the workplace? 2. Support your claim with examples. Solution Communication Communication is the process of exchanging the thoughts by one person with another person or group of persons. The communication needs to be effective so that the followers can understand it properly and can understand the subject. The communication needs to be in a common language between the speaker and listeners so that both can have effective interaction between them and understand the topic effectively. Effective communication can only make the listener to understand the topic. If the language is inappropriate then the listeners will not be able to understand it properly. If the speaker will not be able to speak properly, then he will not be able to communicate effectively and he will not be able to explain the topic the listeners group. The message or information cannot be transferred without the effective communication between the listeners and the speaker. Effective communication can help to understand the topics in one go; otherwise it will take long time for the learners to understand the topic in absence of proper communication. Communication Capabilities vs Abilities: Our communication capabilities have raced ahead of our communication abilities. Our communication is getting worse” This is the right statement as our communication capabilities means the process of communications improved to an higher level with the help of latest technologies in communications like email, video-calling, voice- calling, animated learning/communicative models, branding and marketing means etc. All these communication processes are improved a large scale. Our communication abilities are reduced to very high level due to lack of proper communications between the people or group of people. Thus people used to communicate less thus their communication abilities are reduced while the way of communication i.e. capabilities improved to a large extent due to advancement in communication technologies. This is a true statement from the workplace point of view. At the work place the communication between the employees and between the manager and employees are reduced. The one of the reason for reduction in communication is due to the reduction in the abilities of communication among employees. Employees are not skilled in communication. This effects the reduction in communication. Examples:.

You have identified a mutation in E. coli K-12 that causes it to become sensitive to the the antibiotic azithromycin (azi). You sequence the chromosome of the aziS strain and localize the mutation to genX and near the cysABC operon that encodes the only genes required for cysteine biosynthesis (see diagram). In order to study the impact of the genX* mutation in a pathogenic strain, you would like to move this allele into a uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) strain background. Design a strategy to move your genX* mutation from E. coli K-12 into the UPEC strain using the strains and plasmids described below. Use point form to describe your strategy. Include a description of all conditions used for selections and/or screens and be clear, but brief about how you will carry out each step. Hint: your answer will require the use of transformation, transposition, and transduction and should include a protocol for a genetic screen for a transposon mutant & the use of generalized transduction to move alleles between strains (9 marks): •Suicide plasmid pMUT: plasmid that encodes the transposon Tn5 & ampicillin resistance; can only replicate at 30oC, not 37oC. the Tn5 element contains a gene that confers a kanamycin resistant phenotype (KnR) •E. coli K-12 genX* : E. coli K-12 strain carrying your genX* mutation that confers azithromycin sensitivity •UPEC wild-type strain •Generalized transducing phage P1, which can infect both E. coli K-12 and UPEC (all information is given: need to design an experiment with non-mobilizable/ suicide vectors/ transposons/ selection process etc). UPEC chromosome genX cySA cysB *cySA, B, Care only genes required for biosynthesis of cysteine EC Ampicillin Ori pMUT Tn5 (KnR Solution 1. Transduction and Experimental steps for transduction:- Transduction is the heritable transfer of bacterial DNA from one cell (donor, here it is E Coli K12) to another (recipient, EColi, UPEC) by a bacteriophage. Tansducing bacteriophage particles are formed in donor bacterial cells during phage development. Generalized transducing phage particles carry a random fragment of host chromosomal DNA approximately the same length as P1 DNA. The phage particles completely lack DNA originating from the phage genome and contain instead oly Bacterila DNA sequesnces. New genotypes in the recipient cells result from homoogous recombination, which can lead to the replacement of a recipient gene by an allele acquired from the donor genome via the transducing phage. a.

Why are the EROI values for U.S. ethanol fuel from corn different in the studies performed by Shapouri, et al. (2004), Pimentel and Patzek (2005), and Farrell, et al. (2006)? Explain in terms of input energy and co-product energy. Solution Why are the EROI values for U.S. ethanol fuel from corn different in the studies performed by Shapouri, et al. (2004), Pimentel and Patzek (2005), and Farrell, et al. (2006): Over the past decade there has been considerable debate on corn ethanol, most focused on whether it is a net energy yielder. The argument is generally that “if the Energy Return on Investment (EROI) of corn ethanol is positive then it should be pursued. On one side are Pimentel (2003) and Patzek (2004) who claim that corn ethanol has an EROI below one energy unit returned per energy unit invested, and on the other side are a number of studies claiming that the EROI is positive, reported variously as between 1.08 and 1.45.Even with numerous publications on this issue, disagreement remains as to whether corn ethanol is a net energy yielder. We believe that focus within the literature on whether or not corn ethanol yields a positive net energy gain has diverted attention from more fundamental issues. Following is a brief description of some of these issues: First, none of the major studies of the EROI of corn ethanol account for statistical error within their analysis. Error is associated with all measurements, and we should expect there to be error associated with EROI as well. Yet each of Farrell et al. (2006), Wang et al. (2007), Patzek (2004), Pimentel (2003), and Shapouri et al. (2002) fail to report even general error statistics associated with their calculation of EROI. Considering that the range of published values for the EROI of corn ethanol is so small (from 0.8 to 1.5) one would expect that even a relatively small amount of error could be meaningful. Second, most analyses to date, including those referenced above, use optimal values for corn yield, fertilizer, and irrigation, despite the fact that each of these have large geographical variation. Because of this they fail to represent the variable nature of corn production across space, and by extension the subsequent variability in the EROI of corn ethanol. Our spatial analysis addressed this issue by examining the impacts of the natural geographic variability of corn inputs and yields on the EROI of corn ethanol production within the U.S. We performed four major analyses in this research: The rst was a meta-error analysis, in which we quantied the error associated with the calculation of EROI of corn ethanol based on various estimates of the energy inputs and outputs found in the literature. This analysis was based on the five main studies in corn ethanol: Wang et al. (1997), Shapouri et al. (2002), Pimentel (2003), Patzek (2004), and Farrell et al. (2006). Second was a spatial analysis of the EROI of corn ethanol. Third was a sensitivity analysis; wherein we assess the degre.

When we decide to make something \"compensable\" we assert its value, relative to other factors. For your response, consider the following two questions: 1) As you observe our society what are some of the key compensable factors that affect who gets paid what? 2) Given those factors, what can you surmise/deduce are some of the key assumptions (about work and pay or about society in general) underlying the relative distribution of values? Solution These 10 elements describe the specific job requirements in terms of compensable factors. The primary compensable factors that affects are: 1. Experience- How long should the incumbent have workrd in this job or in closely related jobs to be fully qualified? It is important that the experience be within or outside the organisation. 2. Education- What does the job require in terms of formal schooling, training, certificate or knowledge of a specialized field? 3. Responsibility- Is the employee responsible for the safety of other employees or for the loss or damage to tools, materials or equipement? 4. Complexity of duties- Does the job require the incumbent to show judgement and initiative or to make independent decisions? 5. Supervision received- How closely does the incumbent\'s immediate suoervisor or manager check his or her work? 6. Supervision exercised- How many people does the incumbent\'s supervise, directly or indirectly? 7. Consequences of error- If the incumbent made an error, what dollar loss would be likely to result? 8. Working conditions- Is there anything in the work environment that is unusually hazardous or uncomfortable? 9. Mental, Physical and visual demands- What degree of concentration is required? Are there special physical demands? 10. Confidential data- To what extent is the incumbent responsible for confidential information? To what extent are integrity and discretion important?.

Ten couples are going out to dinner. How many ways can they arrange themselves around a large, circular dinner table if they all must sit next to their partner? Notice that each couple consists of precisely two people, ergo there are twenty people in total. Show your steps. Solution The required steps are: 1)If we consider each couple as one unit then ten couples i.e ten units can be arranged in (10-1)! ways i.e in 9! ways since it is a circular arrangement we must fix one unit at first then the left 9 units can be arranged among themselves in 9! ways. 2)Now each unit again consists of two people and they can be arranged among themselves in 2! ways. So total number of possible arrangements is 9!*2!=725760..

State if you agree/disagree with the statements made and why? Can a chief information officer (CIO) bridge be divide between private and public administrations as a leader? In the past, CIO\'s were just the best IT person in the group. However, IT has come a long way in just the last twenty years. Business and government have been almost totally reliant on computerized data transfers, decision making, operations, and sharing of information throughout an organization. Teri Takai is a good example of an IT person who learned how government operates, which is very different from how a business operates, in order to provide good information technology as a CIO. Acting as a bridge between government and the technical operations of a business, the CIO is responsible for making the operations function by managing the personnel and technical resources available. The most effective people as CIO\'s are those who bring with them an understanding of managerial operation, as well as technical understanding. The confluence of business and government is information technology today. Without a CIO both government and private business would be crippled and unable to function. Solution The role of information has always been important in bridging the operatioal gap between the government amd private systems. The importamt reason is that both of the system are completely different on the scale of complexity. The CIO is now a days more than a mere information officer. A person is who is a CIO now has to be a good liaison officer also, specially in countries where still government is a large stakeholder. A CIO has to cleary understand and later merge the organizational culture of its own and government system. He has to overcome the challanges of non technology savvy staff in government organization..

Read and reflect on the case study about Sony on page 119 of the course textbook. Consider the CEO\'s reorganization. What environment constructs were involved? Why did the CEO have to adapt, control, and reduce uncertainty? Identify the mechanistic versus organic structures and how contingency theory was or was not applied in this case study. CASE FOR ANALYSIS Sony’s “Gaijin” CEO is Reorganizing the Company Sony, the famous Japanese electronics maker, was renowned in the 1990s for using its engineering prowess to develop blockbuster new products such as the Walkman, Trinitron TV, and PlayStation. Its engineers churned out an average of four new product ideas every day, something attributed to its culture, called the “Sony Way,” which emphasized communication, cooperation, and harmony among its company-wide product engineering teams.36 Sony’s engineers were empowered to pursue their own ideas, and the leaders of its different divisions, and hundreds of product teams were allowed to pursue their own innovations—no matter what the cost. While this approach to leadership worked so long as Sony could churn out blockbuster products, it did not work in the 2000s as agile global competitors from Taiwan, Korea, and the United States innovated new technologies and products that began to beat Sony at its own game. Companies such as LG, Samsung, and Apple innovated new technologies such as advanced LCD flat-screens, flash memory, touch-screen commands, mobile digital music, video, and GPS positioning devices, and 3D displays that made many of Sony’s technologies, such as its Trinitron TVs and Walkmans obsolete. For example, products such as Apple’s iPod and iPhone and Nintendo’s Wii game console better met customer needs than Sony’s out-of-date and expensive products. Why did Sony lose its leading competitive position? One reason was that Sony’s organizing approach no longer worked in its favor because the leaders of its different product divisions worked to protect their own personal empires and divisions’ goals and not those of the whole company. Sony’s leaders were slow to recognize the speed at which technology was changing and as each division’s performance fell, their leaders felt threatened and competition between them increased as they sought to protect their own empires. The result was slower decision making and increased operating costs as the leaders of each division competed to obtain the funding necessary to develop successful new products. By 2005 Sony was in big trouble; and at this crucial point in their company’s history, Sony’s top managers turned to a gaijin, or non-Japanese, executive to lead their company. Their choice was Sir Howard Stringer, a Welshman, who as the head of Sony’s U.S. operations had been instrumental in cutting costs and increasing profits. Stringer’s was known to be a directive but participative leader; although he was closely involved in all U.S. top management decisions he nevertheless then gave his top executiv.

Question 1. Take a one-good small economy where households receive endowment income Y per period, and pay taxes to T the government. The tax function is comprised of two parts. There is a constant proportional income tax t0 and a transfer which is a fraction of the stock of foreign exchange reserves F. Households have no access to capital markets and simply consume their disposable income. The government can accumulate foreign exchange reserves which receive interest r per instant (time is continuous). The governments budget constraint is thus the income account, the current account, and the financial account. b) Describe the dynamics of the stock of international reserves. Is this equation stable? Under what conditions will the stock of reserves converge to a steady state? Assuming stability, solve for this steady state, and explain. c) Describe the dynamics of each account in the balance of payments following an unexpected permanent increase in Y . F = rF+T Solution a. First of all we need to understand what is balance of payment BOP is the International concept. It is the exchange that takes place between the residence of the country and the foreign country or rest lf the world. -Trade balance- Its the difference between the exports and inports of the country. Formula for Trade balance is =Export-Import. INCOME ACCOUNT-It shows the debit and credit account of a business. Basically it shows the income earned in the business record during the financial year. Debit is the amount that is reduced whereas credit is the account that is added. CURRENT ACCOUNT- It is the account with the commercial banks or financial institutions where money can be withdrawn without any notice. It is mainly used by those who have regular transaction through cash or cheques. FOR EXAMPLE - BUSINESSMAN . FINANCIAL ACCOUNT- It is a kind of business record maintained of the financial transactions that took place during the financial year. Its a summary of the debit and credit of business and helps in analyzing the do and don\'t in business. (b) International Reserves are linked with the gross inflow of money and gross outflow of money. The main authority is held with the CENTRAL GOVERNMENT. Monetary authority can purchase national currency in international capital market. The condition of reserves converge to a steady state with the following factors that are as follows- 1. Standard of open market economy. 2. Rate of interest set by the financial institution. 3.Reserve acculmulation process. 4. Foreign exchange market. 5.Government role in making of monetary policies. In this case the source of income is only from the disposable income for which the household have no access to huge income process. And the Government has more sources to earn from the taxes of international market. In this case the economy is not in a stable condition due to lack of access of capital market income. (c) The dynamics of each account in balance of payments are- trade balance has the only sou.

Please help with thorough explanations for these two questions. 1. When two viruses with similar capsids coinfect a cell, it is possible for virions to be produced where the capsid does not match the genome. This phenomenon is known as phenotypic mixing, the consequences of which is the expansion of the host range. One of the most recent viral outbreaks, SARS and bird flu can be attributed to this phenomenon. Explain which one and show how this could have happened. Please explain in thorough detail and reasoning. 2. When two viruses with similar capsids coinfect a cell, it is possible for virions to be produced where the capsid does not match the genome. This phenomenon is known as phenotypic mixing. What could be the consequences of this mismatch with regard to future infections? Please explain in detail and give thorough reasoning. Solution 1. Phenotypic mixing might have occured in case of influenza virus. Let\'s imagine that the viral strain capable of infecting birds and the viral strain capable of humans are co-infecting pig. There is a possibility that there is phenotypic mixing resulting in formation of pseudovirion containing capsid of human virus (hence possess the attachment proteins capable of binding to human cells) and genome of bird virus. So, this particle will be able to infect human cells. (However, phenotypic mixing can result in only temporary expansion/alteration of host range. So in case of influenza virus genetic reassortment is the major phenomenon involved). 2. Phenotypic mixing can result in alteration of host range in the viruses. Let\'s imagine there is a virus \'A\', which can infect hosts 1,2 and 3. Similarly, there is another virus \'B\' which can infect the hosts viz. 3, 4 and 5. A major reason for host specificity in the virions is the presence (or absence) of specific binding protiens which can bind to specific receptors on the host cells. So, in the above case, the capsid of virus \'A\' will have binding proteins for the receptors of hosts 1, 2 and 3. Similarly, the capsid of virus \'B\' will have binding proteins for the receptors of hosts 3, 4 and 5. If we imagine a situation where both virus A and B have infected host cell type 3 and there is phenotypic mixing. It is possible that we end up with a viral particle with genome of A and capsid of B. In such a situation, this virion will be able to bind to the receptors of hosts 3, 4 and 5. So, the virion with genome of A which can infect the host 1,2, 3 only, will be able to infect host 4 and 5 also. (Such virion is termed as pseudo virion).
