Derive the time-average rate at which power is used in our system. Assume that when a server is on, it consumes power at a rate of P = 240 watts. Assume λ = 10 jobs arrive per second and that the service requirement of jobs is Uniformly distributed ranging from 1 second to 9 seconds.

Given that power is expensive, it is common practice to leave servers on only when they are being used and to turn them off whenever they are not in use. Assume that the following power-aware algorithm is used: When a job arrives, it instantly turns on a fresh server (assume zero setup cost). When the job completes service, it instantly turns off that server. Assume that there is always a server available for every job (i.e., there is no queueing). Your goal is to derive the time-average rate at which power is used in our system. Assume that when a server is on, it consumes power at a rate of P = 240 watts. Assume λ = 10 jobs arrive per second and that the service requirement of jobs is Uniformly distributed ranging from 1 second to 9 seconds.

Calculate which of the crew sizes has the best productivity per worker and explain your method.

Operations Management and Factors Affecting Productivity

Maduro Cleaning is a small organization that provides cleaning services to both residential and commercial clients. As a small organization, the owner assigns crews of two, three, or four employees to jobs each morning but the owner does not have a good method of determining a reasonable amount of time that each cleaning should take. The owner decided to keep data on job times and crew sizes in the hopes of developing a productivity measure.

Address the following requirements:

Calculate which of the crew sizes has the best productivity per worker and explain your method.
Evaluate your outcome and the possible reasons that would explain those results.
Project what the productivity might be for a crew size of five and explain your reasoning.

Crew Size Avg: Productivity per Crew

2: 3765 square meters per day
3: 4915 square meters per day
4: 6309 square meters per day

Is this an appropriate attitude for a religion? Or should a religious tradition include some sense of faith or trust in the tradition/teacher that they don’t question EVERYTHING a religious authority figure says?

Meditation and Buddhist Belief – Discussion Board Group 3

Hi Everyone,

This week you have two questions for your discussion board:

First, this week, I asked you to complete a 5-minute meditation with me. So, I would like to hear from you how it went! Was it easy or hard? Were you able to create spaces between your thoughts when you just focused on your breath? What could be some benefits to meditation? And how do you think it helps Buddhists achieve greater awareness of the world and eventually enlightenment?

Second, last week you heard the story of Siddhartha Gautama – the prince who lived a life of complete hedonism, then renounced it all to find enlightenment. This story is central to Buddhism, but many devout Buddhists say that it’s probably not “true” in a historical sense, and that whether or not the story actually happened doesn’t even matter.

For them, the story is important because it teaches an important truth about how to live one’s life – one shouldn’t live completely for pleasure and oneself, but also one shouldn’t deny themselves everything. Neither of these paths leads to enlightenment. One should follow the example of the Buddha, even if he wasn’t a real historical figure.

Can a myth be important even if it’s not historically true? Can you think of any other examples of stories or myths in religion or society that are probably not actually true, but are important nonetheless?

This is connected to another central idea of Buddhism, which is the rejection of blind belief. The Buddha taught that you shouldn’t believe anything unless it has proven to be true for yourself. He told his disciples never to believe his teachings, but to try it out for themselves and see if it helps them find greater calm and clarity in their lives.

Is this an appropriate attitude for a religion? Or should a religious tradition include some sense of faith or trust in the tradition/teacher that they don’t question EVERYTHING a religious authority figure says?

List a few measures that can be taken by individuals and/or organizations to minimize the invasion of privacy?

Research and state an example for which social media was used as a tool by the police in crime control and community relations.

Research and describe an incident for which using a body camera has helped the police in accountability and effectiveness.

Explain how community relations impact the challenges police officers face.

Describe challenges the field of policing will face in the future. Provide examples.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word white paper for your department.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word white paper for your department. According to the Purdue Online Writing Lab, “…the purpose of a white paper is to advocate that a certain position is the best way to go or that a certain solution is best for a particular problem.” In this case, your white paper is meant to help your police department better understand the issues and opportunities around technology, including the use of body cameras and social media.
