You have been asked for a cloud-based/IoT solution to replace a traditional client-server configuration. You may download the opensource version of MS Visio called Dia to create the network diagram or use the drawing features available in any Office Suite. Just make sure to label your components. The current technologies are as follows:

• A database server (Microsoft SQL)
• SplendidCRM running on a server (See http://www.splendidcrm.com/ )
• A Microsoft Exchange Server (For email)
• A Windows Server 2012 R2 running Web Server (IIS)

Read a chapter from a novel and a speech and answer 3 short questions about them.

1. What similarities do you see between what Washington says in his speech and what the narrator says in “Battle Royal” ?
2. Which of Washington’s ideas do you disagree with and why?
3. Which of Washington’s ideas do you believe are valid today and why?

Identify each metamorphic rock by comparing that information with the table below to determine the rock name.

For this activity, you will need to watch the short video(s) for each metamorphic rock. You have been provided with key characteristics for each metamorphic rock on the page with the metamorphic rock videos. You will need to identify each metamorphic rock by comparing that information with the table below to determine the rock name. Once you have determined the rock name you will need to create an excel table with the following columns and in this order:

Sample Number, Texture, Protolith/Parent Rock, and Name. You will be submitting this completed excel table. You need to put the samples in numeric order in the chart.

Each sample is worth 3 points.

You will use the chart below to determine the rock name.

What are some of the potential costs and benefits of this recommendation?

Overview

A critical part of this course is your participation in the online discussions. An example or issue will be posted at the beginning of each discussion. Your grade will be a function of the quality and quantity of your participation. You are encouraged to build on the discussion that has already taken place within your weekly discussion groups. In other words, grades are not simply given for answering the discussion questions, but also for critically responding to the previous postings and generating new knowledge and ideas.

Discussions can be completed in a couple of different ways. Your posts can be written, video, audio only, or a combination of these modes throughout (e.g., you can do one post written, another post audio, etc.). Regardless of what method you use, it is important that you maintain professional standards and provide evidence. It is possible to verbally cite sources or include them in the text portion of your discussion post, so please do not forget to do this. While forming opinions and judgments is important, they must be backed by evidence.

To start go to this padlet and brainstorm some actions that organizations might engage in that cause employee turnover. This is a brainstorm- not a discussion post, so this should take you 5 minutes maximum, write 1-2 sentences/bullet points, and then ‘like’ posts with examples that you think are potentially the most common mistakes made. Contribute to the board by clicking here.

After reviewing the board and your classmates’ ideas, please return to this discussion board to make your post.

This week please discuss the following questions:

• Your company has a serious turnover problem among employees with fewer than five years’ seniority. The CEO wants to use employee benefits to lessen this problem. What might you do, specifically in the areas of pension vesting, vacation and holiday allocation, and life insurance coverage, in an effort to reduce turnover?
• What kinds of things are you considering in making this decision?
• What are some of the potential costs and benefits of this recommendation?

Compare the general processing steps for LFTB and soy bean protein concentrates

Compare the general processing steps for LFTB and soy bean protein concentrates to determine similarities and differences. Participate meaningfully in the discussion by sharing the similarities and differences that you learned about.

How does being a super host affect the relationship between reviews per month and average overall rating?

Exploratory Analysis

For this section, use the London Airbnb data included in this repo.

1. Show graphically how the number of reviews per month (`reviews_per_month`) and price (`price`) relate to, or predict, the average overall rating (`review_scores_rating`). Explain your decisions around extreme values, missing data, and variable transformations.

1. How does being a super host affect the relationship between reviews per month and average overall rating? What might you hypothesize based on this descriptive evidence?

1. Re-examine the relationship between price and average overall rating using only *within-host* variation. What could you tentatively conclude? Explain.

1. (Optional, for practice working with dates and times) How does host experience with Airbnb (`host_since`) affect average overall rating?

Assume this data is representative of all micro-irrigation use in Gujarat. What crops account for the most total area under each drip and sprinkler irrigation?

Cleaning

For this section, use the “MIS Beneficiary List” data included in this repo. This spreadsheet gives a list of recipients of government subsidies for micro-irrigation systems (MIS) in Gujarat, India, during 2014-15. I downloaded it a few years ago from a publicly accessible government website. For the following questions, focus on the “MIS Subsidy” column and ignore the “Tribal Subsidy” column.

1. Import this data into R and clean it, following our data cleaning checklist. (Use reasonable effort — aim to get about 90% of the way and skip, but mention, any remaining tasks that would be extremely time-consuming.) Comment your code following the best practices we discussed.

2. Assume this data is representative of all micro-irrigation use in Gujarat. What crops account for the most total area under each of drip and sprinkler irrigation?

3. Each farmer was only supposed to receive a subsidy once. Give your best estimate of the percentage of total subsidies disbursed that went to fraudulent claims. (Think carefully about how to define duplicate farmers in the data, and how to distinguish true duplicate claims from data entry errors.)

Show the required figures when r = 0:0.1:1 and comments on the effect of the pole position according to these figures. You can also choose some other r (at least five different r are required).

Baseline drift correction using de notch filter: Download the ECG data file ‘ecg_lfh.dat’. The sampling frequency is 1000 samples/second. Plot the ECG signal and observe the baseline drift. Design an order-1 recursive filter with a frequency response null at omega = 0, and a pole on the positive real axis. This system is a dc-notch filter. Apply your dc-notch filter to the ECG data to remove the baseline drift. Evaluate the effectiveness of the filter by overlaying the filtered signal with the original ECG signal in the same plot. Comment on the effect of the pole position. Hint: your filter transfer function will have the form of H(z) = (z-q)/(z-p). The zero should be q = 1. The pole should have a general form of p = r, with 0 < r < 1. You are asked to evaluate the effect of varying r. For each value of r, you should show the frequency response of your filter, and the overlay of the original signal with the filtered signal.

Show the required figures when r = 0:0.1:1 and comments on the effect of the pole position according to these figures. You can also choose some other r (at least five different r are required).
