The Schengen Agreement currently allows for the free movement across European borders – if this becomes curtailed, will this likely prevent terrorist attacks in the future (bearing in mind that Europe has been home to numerous terrorist organizations prior to the Schengen Agreement)?

Sorting and threading data sets
Part 1:
Description:
You will create processes, run processes in parallel, and pass information between processes. The data to be processed are “tuples” which are numbers and associated text strings, that is lines of CSV separated values, we wish to sort these.
1. Get the data set on Canvas
1a. Sort the data, that is each “record” (line, tuple) in ascending order by numeric value
2. Either: sort the data by hand (not a good idea), or write a two loop (bubble or insertion) sort program to sort the data.
(Do not use a “better” (faster) sorting method, the purpose is to use a “slow” sort method, but if you really want to, use much, much bigger data.)
3. “Instrument” your program (time it). Do not include time to load data or output results.
4. Create a program that will, in turn, run multiple processes “concurrently”
(at the same time, employing all of your CPUs and CPU Cores, using “fork( )” and “exec( )” (there are several variants of exec (execl, execv, etc.)
Please do not use “threads” (yet).
5. Do the sort, again, in parallel for 2 concurrent processes, then 4, and finally 10 processes.
6. Instrument those sorts (like above).
7. How will you pass data (parts of the array) to each process (IPC)? (Files, pipes, shared memory, message queues?)
8. You may (not required) to use a menu to select number of processes, size of data, etc.
Part 2:
Description:
You will create a process and threads, run in parallel, and pass information between threads.
You will use synchronization operations to avoid overwriting shared resources.
As in Assignment above:
1. Use the same data set, as previous part of assignment 2.
2. Sort, using the same methods from part 1, (write a two loop (bubble or insertion) sort program to sort the numbers in ascending order.
3. “Instrument” your program (time it).
4. Create a program that will, in turn, run multiple threads “concurrently” using a kernel level threading system.
(there are several options: Pthreads, Java, C/C++)
5. Do the sort, again, in parallel for 2 concurrent threads, then 4, and 10 threads.
6. Instrument those sorts (above).
7. How will you pass data (parts of the array) to each thread?
(How will you synchronize sharing resources such as memory?)
8. You may (not required) to use a menu to select number of threads, size of data, etc.
A car is traveling around a circular race track at 180 kmh?
A car is traveling around a circular race track at 180 kmh?1. If a single lap of the track is 2.4 km long, what is the angular velocity of the car (in rad s?1)?
What are your overall thoughts of Saba Safdar’s TED Talk?
Watch this video and then respond to the following prompts:
Everything you always wanted to know about culture | Saba Safdar | TEDxGuelphU (Links to an external site.)
Prompts (please respond writing a min. of 500 words in total):
(1) What are your overall thoughts of Saba Safdar’s TED Talk?
(2) Where do your views of culture come from? How do you know this? Think honestly and deeply about this question.
(3) What are a few of the reasons why foreigners view the culture of the United States differently than those born and raised within the United States?
For these next two questions, you will need to conduct additional research to find the answers. Be sure to cite your sources (include these references at the end of your document).
(4) What does individualism vs. collectivism mean? And, where does the United States rank on this cultural dimension?
(5) What are the pros and cons of individualism for the culture of the United States?
*Once you have posted to the discussion board please comment on at least 3 classmates’ posts. Since your classmates’ post will include responses to multiple questions you may choose which question you respond to. As always, please be respectful and open-minded with your responses.
Develop a research proposal which includes the research questions, methodology, and proposed statistical analysis.
By now, you should have a good idea of Chapter One, your research questions, and how you plan on collected data to answer the research questions. This week is your opportunity to submit your proposed questions and other information in an informal research proposal.
Objective:
- Develop a research proposal which includes the research questions, methodology, and proposed statisical analysis.
What’s in a Theory?
What’s in a Theory?
The readings and media from Bredekamp Chapter 4 and The Center on The Developing Child, illustrated the intersection between neuroscience, research, theories about development and learning, and teaching practices; and how each informs the other. Science provides a window for viewing early brain development, the theory provides the guideposts for understanding development and learning. Research demonstrates whether or not a theory holds up under closer examination. The practice is the action of implementing the beliefs and paradigms derived from theory and research – and show us if they work in the “real world”.
You have likely come across discussions about the merit or value of one theory over another as being the “ONE” theory that explains it all. Or an individual might say, “_______ theorist is my favorite, and therefore, I base my teaching activities on him or her”. “I am a Piagetian based teacher” or “I only use Vygotsky in my teaching”. While these statements are simplified, they illustrate the point that sometimes we fall into the trap of either-or thinking vs the both and thinking described in your text.
In the discussion question this week, I would like you to reflect on the following question and post your thoughts.
Why is it impossible to argue that one theorist’s explanation of development and learning is more valuable or relevant than another? Think about how each of the theorists emphasizes different aspects of development. (All theorists not just Piaget and Vygotsky). Why is it important for early childhood educators, school counselors, therapists, or anyone who works with children and families to understand the effects of trauma on early brain development?
