(Remember there are more than one type of Angiosperm leaf). How are they similar? How do the structures and adaption of leaves...

In the discussion for fatigue up to this point we have talked about the damaging effect of the number of cycles of loading but we have not discussed about frequency (i.e. how often these loading cycles occur). Which class of materials do you think might be sensitive to the frequency of loading? Provide two physical mechanisms that may affect fatigue life (at least indirectly).

In class we talked about the effects of cigarette smoking on birthweight. We defined a model E ( O | C = c ) = (β0)^1 + ((β1)^1 x c) where O is birthweight in ounces and C is cigarettes smoked per day. Suppose instead we used the model E(L|P =p)=(β0)^2 +((β1)^2 x p) where L is birthweight in pounds and P is packs of cigarettes smoked per day (there are 20 cigarettes in a pack). What is the relationship...

As we talked about the Software Development Lifecycle. We approached it from the standpoint of where security needs to be added to the SDLC. When code is insecure, it introduces vulnerabilities that get exploited. As security practitioners, this is where we come into the equation. However, that being said - we should be advocates for security in the development phase because it will make everyone's life easier once the software is deployed. We have to make a conscious effort to...
