Drilling for oil in the Arctic The chase is now on, as sea channels clear of sea ice, for oil exploration in the Arctic region. There is actually not much care about global warming by major superpower governments, as they see that domination of the world’s oil resources is vital in maintaining both economic and military security. Please discuss this, as far as your knowledge into this difficult issue will allow. The main purpose of Assignment One (A1) is to write a structured essay (i.e. structured with a main title, author (your) name, a few subtitles and at least six references (do not include the course study materials). The title of your structured essay should be ‘Drilling for Oil in the Arctic’. i) Introduction/background - briefly describe the world’s oil market, and the value of this enterprise to the federal and regional economies around the world. Also describe the relevant social and environmental impacts of this business activity (~300 words). ii) Expression of a likely viewpoint of someone employed directly within the industry, or someone in a secondary flow-on industry (~300 words) iii) Expression of a likely viewpoint, from a local ancestral heritage group, a traditional owner, or an environmental lobbyist (~300 words) iv) Expression of a likely viewpoint from a right-wing politician/business person (~300 words) v) Conclusion/overview/recommendations (~300 words)

Barnes & Noble is an American bookseller. It operates mainly through its Barnes & Noble Booksellers chain of bookstores. The company wants to keep information on books, authors, publishers, branches, and employees. The following requirements are given:
For each publisher, store the publisher code, the name, and the city in which the publisher is located.
For each branch, store the number, the name, the location, the manager number, and the manager name.
For each book, store its code, title, the code and name of the publisher, the price, and whether or not it is paperback.
For each book, store its code, title, type, and price. In addition, store the number and name of each of the authors of the book. If there is more than one author, they must be stored in the order in which they are listed on the book. This may or may not be alphabetically.
For each branch, store the number and name. In addition, store the code and title of each book currently in the branch as well as the number of units of the book the branch currently has.
For each book, store the code and title. In addition, for each branch currently having the book in stock, store the number and name of each branch along with the number of copies available.
For each employee, store the employee number, the name, the address, phone number, position title, and the branch number and name which this employee works for. It further confirms that an employee works only for one branch and a branch has many employees.
You, as the database consultant, are required to provide an information-level design to maintain for the above-mentioned requirements.

Experiment 1: Free Fall
In this experiment you will drop the hex nut from different heights. You will explore how height from which the hex nut is dropped affects its falling time and its final velocity.
|
Materials:
|
Procedure
Include your measurements in Table 1.
v = v0 + at
Since the initial velocity (the one you start with) in this experiment is always equal to 0 m/s, then the equation you use for calculation is simply:
v = at
Example:
If average t = 2.5 seconds then,
v = a (2.5 s)
Since an object is in free fall, acceleration a is equal to gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s2.
Therefore,
v = (9.8 m/s2)(2.5 s) = 24.5 m/s

The final step in our authorship attribution system will be to perform authorship attribution based on a selection of sample documents from a range of authors, and a document of unknown origin. You will be given a selection of sample documents from a range of authors (from which we will learn our word frequency dictionaries), and a document of unknown origin. Given these, you need to return a list of authors in ascending order of out-of-place distance between the document of unknown origin and the combined set of documents from each of the authors. You should do this according to the following steps: compute a single dictionary of word frequencies for each author based on the combined set of documents from that author (provided in the form of a list of strings) compute a dictionary of word frequencies for the document of unknown origin compare the document of unknown origin with the combined works of each author, based on the out-of-place distance metric calculate and return a ranking of authors, from most similar (smallest distance) to least similar (greatest distance), resolving any ties in the ranking based on an alphabetic sort You have been provided with reference implementations of the functions authattr_worddict and authattr_oop from the preceding questions in order to complete this question, and should make use of these in your solution. These are provided via the from hidden_lib import authattr_worddict, authattr_oop statement, which must not removed from the header of your code for these functions to work. Write a function authattr_authorpred(authordict, unknown, maxrank) that takes three arguments: authordict: a dictionary of authors (each of which is a str), associated with a non-empty list of documents (each of which is a str) unknown: a str contained the document of unknown origin maxrank: the positive int value to set maxrank to in the call to authattr_oop and returns a list of (author, oop) tuples, where author is the name of an author from authordict, and oop is the out-of-place distance between unknown and the combined works of author, in the form of a float.
For example:
>>> authattr_authorpred({'tim': ['One One was a racehorse; Two Two was one too', 'How much wood could a woodchuck chuck'], 'einstein': ['Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.', 'Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.']}, 'She sells sea shells on the seashore', 20) [('tim', 287.0), ('einstein', 290.0)] >>> authattr_authorpred({'Beatles': ['Hey Jude', 'The Fool on the Hill', "A Hard Day's Night", "Yesterday"], 'Rolling Stones': ["(I Can't Get No) Satisfation", 'Ruby Tuesday', 'Paint it Black']}, 'Eleanor Rigby', 15) [('Beatles', 129.0), ('Rolling Stones', 129.0)]

Checking Input File for correct line format.
So for my C++ assignment, my professor says we need to validate the Input File, if there are white lines and spaces, in which it will ignore them, separated by a comma, and that all data items are there. This will be used in a program where i will store these into an Array, and display them in First name, Last name, and Number of Votes.
This is a sample of the txt file. My question is, What do i use to be able to take only the names and number and place them into an array. Please explain what each line is doing, even it is not completely obvious. I am a complete beginner.
F=Michael,L=John,V=3342
F=Danny,L=Red,V=2003
F=Hillary,L=Clinton, V=1588
F=Albert,L=Lee,V=5332
F=Steven,L=JohnV=4429
Correct line for the reference: F=John,L=Smith,V=3342
The line errors that your program needs to detect, are as follows:
incorrect token / separator, example in line 5: F=Steven,L=JohnV=4429
(comma missing) – lines with this error need to be ignored
space in token, example in line 3: F=Hillary,X=Clinton, V=1622
lines with this error need to be read, error fixed, data included in your dataset
empty line, example in line 6 – empty lines need to be ignored
