Find a 2018 or 2019 newspaper website article (no academic research articles) on a recent software vulnerability that led to a security breach. You need to find article that talks about how a specific software vulnerability was involved, so not just any security story will do! Write a 300 word summary (no graphics or tables) of the incident in your own words, describing what software was involved, what the vulnerability was, and what the consequences were. Be as specific as you.

It sells to two types of consumers: medical (type 1) and academic type 2). The lab equipment manufacturer identifies the following demands for its two differentiated consumers:

P1= 500 - Q1

P2= 300-Q2

The marginal cost to produce and sell the equipment is $50 regardless of the consumer. Assume that the equipment company can identify each type of consumer before the point of scale.

a. What would be the optimal two-part pricing strategy for each type of consumer?

b. Which yields a higher profit - the two-part strategy or a third-degree from last week's homework? What explains the difference?

c.

An academic department has just completed voting by secret ballot for a department head. The ballot box contains four slips with votes for candidate A and three slips with votes for candidate B. Suppose these slips are removed from the box one by one. For example, one outcome is BBBAAAA. (Enter your answers in set notation. Enter EMPTY or ∅ for the empty set.) (a) List all possible outcomes. This answer has not been graded yet. (b) Suppose a running tally is kept as slips are removed. For what outcomes does A remain ahead of B throughout the tally?

All academic manuscripts (journal articles, communications, etc.) have an introduction as a way to introduce the reader to the scientific problem that the paper addresses and describe the purpose of the experiment and also what has been done by others to give the reader some context. Write a 200-400 word introduction to nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions. You should find two recent (within the last three years) examples of nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions in journals and introduce those articles in your introduction.

You have been hired by the Pierce College Center for Academic Success. Your job is to go to student clubs and organizations and make a presentation on "Secrets to Succeed in College". Read Chapter 14 before you complete this assignment. Please

Think through the 3x3 process

Do some research and identify:

1. Habits of successful students
2. Strategies for Studying
3. Prepare for test
4. Common misconceptions and mistakes students make in classes
5. Time Management
6. Importance of connecting with students and faculty
7. Financial Aid

Now prepare a PowerPoint report that you would use to make your presentation to students.

• Remember the 7x7 rule
• Remember the outline (Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, tell them what you told them)
• Remember to include visual aids that augment your slide and help with understanding and retention
• Capture their attention in the first few slides

A certain academic program claims that their students graduate in less than 4 years on average. A random sample of 50 students is taken and the mean and standard deviation are found. The test statistic is calculated to be -1.69. Using a 5% significance level, the conclusion would be: a) there is sufficient sample evidence for the program’s claim to be considered correct. b) there is insufficient sample evidence for the program’s claim to be considered correct. c) there is insufficient sample evidence for the program’s claim to be considered incorrect. d) there is sufficient sample evidence for the program’s claim to be considered incorrect.

This question does not need to coding language, just academic writing.

Identify the research questions for the following problem statements: 1) Mixed methods research is an approach that combines quantitative and qualitative research methods in the same research inquiry. Such work can help develop rich insights into various phenomena of interest that cannot be fully understood using only a quantitative or a qualitative method. Notwithstanding the benefits and repeated calls for such work, there is a dearth of mixed methods research in information systems. 2) Non-relational databases (often termed as NoSQL) have recently emerged and have generated both interest and criticism. Interest because they address requirements that are very important in large-scale applications, criticism because of the comparison with well-known relational achievements. One of the major problems often mentioned is the heterogeneity of the languages and of the interfaces they offer to developers and users. Different platforms and languages have been proposed, and applications developed for one system require significant effort to be migrated to another one. 3)Performance measurement and analysis is crucial for steering the organization to realize its strategic and operational goals. Relevant performance indicators and their relationships to goals and activities need to be determined and analyzed. Current organization modeling approaches do not reflect this in an adequate way. 4) Because digital games are fun, engaging, and popular, organizations are attempting to integrate them within organizational activities as serious components, with the anticipation that they can improve employees’ motivation and performance. But in order to do so and to obtain the intended outcomes, it is necessary to first obtain an understanding of how different digital game designs impact players’ behaviors and emotional responses. 5) Deep web or hidden web refers to the hidden part of the Web (usually residing in structured databases) that remains unavailable for standard Web crawlers. Obtaining content of the deep web is challenging and has been acknowledged as a significant gap in the coverage of search engines.

Question 6

Consider the university admission process described in Question 1.

Use the list provided in Question 5. Record each issue in Table 2 and classify each issue using the PICK chart four quadrants, described below.

Possible (low payoff, easy to do): issues that can be addressed if there are sufficient resources for doing so.

Implement (high payoff, easy to do): issues that should definitely be implemented as a matter of priority.

Challenge (high payoff, hard to do): issues that should be addressed but require significant amount of effort. In general one would pick one of these challenges and focus on it rather than addressing all or multiple challenges at once.

Kill (low payoff, hard to do): issues that are probably not worth addressing or at least not to their full extent.

Table 2

The whole process is as follows:

Consider the following process for the admission of graduate students at a university.

In order to apply for admission, students first fill in an online form. Online applications are recorded in an information system to which all staff members involved in the admissions process have access to. After a student has submitted the online form, a PDF document is generated and the student is requested to download it, sign it, and send it by post together with the required documents, which include:

Certified copies of previous degree and academic transcripts.

Results of English language test.

Curriculum vitae.

When these documents are received by the admissions office, an officer checks the completeness of the documents. If any document is missing, an e-mail is sent to the student. The student has to send the missing documents by post. Assuming the application is complete, the admissions office sends the certified copies of the degrees to an academic recognition agency, which checks the degrees and gives an assessment of their validity and equivalence in terms of local education standards. This agency requires that all documents be sent to it by post, and all documents must be certified copies of the originals. The agency sends back its assessment to the university by post as well. Assuming the degree verification is successful, the English language test results are then checked online by an officer at the admissions office. If the validity of the English language test results cannot be verified, the application is rejected (such notifications of rejection are sent by e-mail). Once all documents of a given student have been validated, the admission office forwards these documents by internal mail to the corresponding academic committee responsible for deciding whether to offer admission or not. The committee makes its decision based on the academic transcripts and the CV. The committee meets once every 2 to 3 weeks and examines all applications that are ready for academic assessment at the time of the meeting. At the end of the committee meeting, the chair of the committee notifies the admissions office of the selection outcomes. This notification includes a list of admitted and rejected candidates. A few days later, the admission office notifies the outcome to each candidate via e-mail. Additionally, successful candidates are sent a confirmation letter by post.

Question 5

Complete Table 1 below using the complaints listed. List the most frequent admission problems first. Prepare a Pareto chart using Chart 1 based on the information in Table 1, alternatively use MS Excel to prepare the Pareto chart.

Online application system is slow – 100 complaints

Confirmation letter not received – 20 complaints

Degree verification takes too long – 120 complaints

Admissions office does not follow through as promised – 40 complaints

Even though a company is run in accordance with the wishes of the majority shareholders, it does not mean that the majority shareholders can pass resolutions at will. The law will protect minority shareholders when their interests are affected. The most important question, however, is whether existing laws to protect minority shareholders are sufficient. Equally important is whether minority shareholders play an active role in monitoring the company's operations, namely shareholder activism.

Discuss and critically examine the above statements. Include the legal status in the UK, Australia. Such comparisons should indicate a more comprehensive approach to the protection of minority shareholders
