BIO 100 SU Apoptosis Discussion

1) DISCUSSION QUESTIONPart 1: Post a ResponseIn multicellular organisms, most cells that are created by mitosis are integrated into the structure of the organism. This week’s lesson looks at what happens to cells that don’t integrate properly, that are not needed, or that fail certain quality-control checkpoints in the cell cycle. Watch the Khan Academy video about apoptosis found at: 2) PEER REVIEW #1 (TIFFANY)Hello class,3) PEER REVIEW #2 (NIKALA)Hello Fellow Classmates and Professor,What was most interesting about apoptosis to me was the Greek meaning is falling away. This interest me because it explains what happens to the reused cells and how it produces body development by keeping cells balanced throughout the body. Apoptosis is a constant function in the body.Although this video didn’t give much information of apoptosis used in animals. Apoptosis helps tadpoles metamorphosis into a frog. A tadpole loses its tail by using apoptosis, which absorbs the tail. Apoptosis causes the tadpole tail to be removed developing into a frog.

Revision and collaboration | English homework help

Revision and Collaboration
This week’s discussion thread focuses on two topics, revision and collaborative writing. Although the topics seem very different, they are actually closely related in professional writing. For example, in a collaborative writing project, peer revision is frequently continuous.
The essence of writing a business proposal is to secure approval for the project or action. Besides providing the supporting evidence and facts, it is important to revise the report; however, there is little time, and people sometimes consider that their first efforts are the best. Nevertheless, revision is critical in order to produce a successful piece of writing.
1. The Writing Commons discusses the role of revision in writing.

After reading the Writing Commons “Writers on Revision,” what tools and advice do you think you can use in your writing, both collaborative and individual? Make sure to view the videos as well! If the link does not open, copy and paste this URL into your browser:http://writingcommons.org/open-text/writing-processes/revise/108-writers-on-revising

2. In addition, at the bottom of the page is a “Next” key; follow it to the page on“Revising a Paper to Deliver,” a useful site for your PowerPoint presentation. If the link does not open, copy and paste the URL into your browser:http://writingcommons.org/open-text/writing-processes/revise/785-revising-a-paper-to-deliver

How can it help you develop your PowerPoint from the justification report?

3. In practice, writing business reports is usually a collaborative effort.

You are interested in examining the extent to which the following factors (illegal drug use, sexual activity, age, gender) predict the odds of drop out among high school students.
How does gender and level of exercise activity (low, moderate, high) impact LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol, after adjusting for family income, among adolescents in Hennepin County, Minnesota?
You are asked to examine whether any underlying structure exists among the following variables: caloric intake, weight, educational level, income level, LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol.

 
Example

Situation:To what extent do hours worked and years of experience predict income after adjusting for years of education?
Appropriate statistical method:Multiple regression.
Explanation:One DV (monthly income) is measured on a quantitative scale, and three IVs (hours worked, experience, years of education) are measured on a quantitative scale. The nature of the problem is to find predictors of income based on hours of work and years of experience after adjustment for years of education, or the problem is to examine whether hours worked and years of experience are independent predictors of income after adjusting for years of education.

Mkt 222 milestone one | MKT 222

Overview:Retail establishments must have a firm understanding of their industries, their marketplaces, and the forces that impact their success or failure. Additionally, they must establish solid retail strategies for current conditions and for future growth and stability. The final project for this course will enable you to examine these factors through a detailed analysis of a retailer of your choice.
Preparation:Before you begin work on this milestone, be sure you have read the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric, which provides an overview of the instructions, expectations, and grading criteria for the project as a whole. This document is available for review in the Assignment Guidelines and Rubrics section of the course.
Prompt:The first phase in the retail analysis process is to capture an accurate snapshot of the retailer’s relevant history and background.Select a publicly owned retailing company (one that trades shares in a stock exchange such as the Dow or NASDAQ). This will allow you to have access to the company’s financial activity, as publicly traded stock must have records available to the public. Most of the largest retailers in the United States are publicly owned. You can usually check the status of a retailer by simply reviewing the “About” section of the company’s website.
After you select a verified publicly owned retailer, you should have access to information from trade and industry publications, annual reports, newspapers, magazines, and a variety of other news and industry-specific media sources. Of course, the company website can often prove to be a helpful resource for accessing significant historical and background information, but do notlimityourself to the company website alone. Review the annual report, which can typically be accessed on the company website by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking on a link specified for investors, such as“For Investors” or “Investor Relations.”Additionally, use various Google search modes and the Shapiro Library database to search for additional sources of information on the history and background of your retailer. In your submission, include each of the following elements in paragraph form:
History and Backgroundo Research the industry in which this retailer competes.
§ What is the size of this industry in terms of sales?§ Is there one major retailer that dominates the field?§ What factors are impacting this industry?§ Consider technology, culture, legislation, demographics, and the economy. What other factors are impacting the upward or downward trend? 
Report on a chronology of important events that have helped shape the current state of your retailer. 
What is your retailer’s corporate mission?
Describe your retailer and discuss the range of merchandise sold. 
§ What pricing strategies are utilized? 
What position does this retailer hold in the marketplace?
Discuss the sales and profit trends of your retailer. How has the retailer’s level of sales changed over the past five years? Discuss these factors. 
Who is the prime customer/target market for this retailer? Describe the target audience.
Describe some of the major advertising and promotional methods being used by this retailer.
******Requirements of Submission:Your submission should be *****two to three pages**** in length and should use double spacing, 12-point Times New Romanfont, and one- inch margins. The paper should conform to APA style. Use proper in-text citations, and list your references at the end of the paper. College-level writing is expected.

Making the Case for Capital Budget Expenditures
 
As a nurse, you are probably very aware of and can speak to the emotional reasons behind the need for certain major expenditures such as a new nurse’s lounge or replacing the current patient information system with a new digital system. You would love to see your nurses have a comfortable area where they can rejuvenate from a stressful day with patients. Alternatively, nurses carrying around PDAs would certainly ease the recording and transmission of vital patient information. However, as a nurse manager you need to be able to support those emotional appeals with reliable financial data. Having a place to refresh will help nurses be more efficient, and could reduce sick days and nurse errors. Being able to quickly access doctor’s orders and previous nurse’s comments allows for a more timely response to patients. As your responsibilities expand, you may find yourself at the table when decisions about capital expenditures are being debated. It is therefore to your advantage to understand the workings of a capital budget.
In this Discussion, you consider the impact of both financial and emotional factors in making a capital budget decision,
 
To prepare:
 
Review the information on capital budgets in this week’s Learning Resources.
Consider why it is important for nurse managers to understand the capital budget of an organization. How are capital budgets used in your own organization (or one with which you are familiar)?
Reflect on the importance of thinking strategically when developing this type of budget.
Identify a new piece of equipment you would like to see purchased by the organization. Consider how knowledge of capital budgeting could influence your approach to making the request.
Develop strategies for demonstrating the need for this capital expenditure that take into account both financial and emotional considerations.
 
Post an analysis of why it is important for nurse managers to understand principles of capital budgeting. Describe a costly new piece of equipment you would like your organization (or one with which you are familiar) to purchase. Explain strategies for demonstrating the need for this equipment to decision makers. Briefly outline how you could use financial data and emotional appeals to demonstrate the benefits of this purchase.
 
AND
 
Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days. Suggest an additional strategy for demonstrating the need for the equipment they described and why you believe it might be successful
(I will send the responses soon)
