The relative acidity between carboxylic acids has been used as a means for determining the electron-withdrawing or electron-donating abilities of substituents.

a) The pKa of phenyl acetic acid is 4.31, making it a stronger acid than acetic acid. Is the Ph group electron-donating or electron-withdrawing in this case?

b) The Ph group is a mild o,p-director in EAS reactions. Is the Ph group electron-donating or electron-withdrawing? If the answer contradicts your answer from part a, provide an explanation.

c) 4-Methoxybenzoic acid is a weaker acid than benzoic acid, yet methoxyacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid. Rationalize these seemingly contradictory results.

d) Methyl groups are usually considered electron-donating groups. Propanoic acid is a weaker acid than acetic acid. Is that result in agreement?

We have discussed the major molecules in the cell (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids). You are going to chose one of these molecules and write a convincing argument for why it should be considered the most important of the four. In your argument you must include:

1) A description of the function of all four molecules and why your choice is the most important.

2) A description of the structure of the molecule you have chosen.

3) Four processes/functions that involve this molecule. You do not have to provide each detail of the process but you should describe the general function or process.

4) How this molecules interacts or depends on at least two of the other molecules

1.Human cells can produce perhaps as many as 100,000 different proteins, yet the human genome has only about 25,000 genes. How can you explain this? Name 4 responsible mechanisms.

2.True or false (provide explanation)
a)The consequence of transcription errors is less severe than that of an error in replication.

b) The loss of the p53 protein in certain cancers makes them more resistant to irradiation therapies and to several chemotherapies, which would normally kill cancer cells by inducing apoptosis or stopping the cyclecellular cell.

Crime Prevention: Stop Human Trafficking

Human trafficking affects over 40 million people each year. It is a sad crime that reaches vulnerable populations, such as children. Many have a strong desire to see this crime stopped. One of those is Tom Sabo, who was very disturbed by this issue after attending a human trafficking symposium. He wanted to put his text mining skills into action.

Using text analytics and AI, he was able to create useful models that law enforcement could use. One model pulled together several text-based data sources: police reports, newspaper articles, recent prosecutions, and a shady classified advertising website. The goal was to find relevant patterns in the text that Sabo could then incorporate into a predictive analytics model.

Sabo used the police statements from a specific New York jurisdiction. He then linked this data to other events outside of the state and even outside of the country.

He saw these trends related not only to who was involved, but also, where the events were happening.

This model was subsequently used to identify these situations quicker and allowed law enforcement to act.

Questions:

1. Please identify three most typical BI related technologies used by Tom Sabo in this case study, and briefly discuss how they help Tom in data analysis. [6 marks]

2. As discussed in our lecture, the financial departments of many companies also do predictive analytics. Compare the analytics done by such financial departments and the one by Tom Sabo, what differences can you identify in terms of the technologies applied by them? [4 marks]

Assignment 3: Human Resource Project Plan.

You have recently been appointed head of human resources and are now in charge of managing a small team. Your next project is to revamp the compensation and benefits package employees are receiving at your company. Design a plan for the human resource project without the use of MS Project or similar software. Note: You will have to make assumptions or create fictitious data for this assignment. Be clear about these assumptions and data for your professor to follow along.

1. Construct a project charter to revamp the compensation and benefits package.

2. Design a communication plan for the project.

3. Define the scope of the project.

4. Create a work breakdown structure including numbered components. Submit your WBS by creating a table inside your assignment.
