The Cradle to Cradle (C2C) concept is a system of thinking based on the belief that industry can be transformed into a sustaining enterprise—one that creates economic, ecological, and social value— through thoughtful and intentional design that mirrors the safe, regenerative productivity of nature and eliminates the concept of waste.

Write a 300-word essay discussing whether you think this concept has business value.  

following criteria:

• will demonstrate understanding of the Cradle to Cradle concept along with appropriate and accurate use of terminology from the book by Michael Braungart and William McDonough.
• will demonstrate critical thinking by using logic, evidence (at least one example) and well-reasoned argument.  
• The essay will be written in appropriate, standard written English.

CASE STUDY A 32 year-old mother presents at her GP clinic and is concerned about a painful right breast. Her baby has been breast feeding since birth and is now 3 months old. She describes episodes of night chills and fever during the last few days. She is run down, tired and exhausted. She is finding it difficult to care for her baby. Upon examination her doctor observes swelling, warmth and redness of the breast tissue with cracked nipples. Her temperature is 38.8°C. The doctor suspects mastitis, inflammation of the breast tissue with clogged milk ducts, which may be due to an infection. The patient is advised to continue breast feeding and take over-the-counter pain relievers (ibuprofen). However, the doctor would like to prescribe a course of antibiotics to clear the mastitis and prevent a recurrence.

The patient asks about the type of treatment and the doctor replies: “Which type of drugs are prescribed and for how long depend on your health condition and the type of bacteria found in your milk. We will need to send a sample to the lab for testing.”

You, as the diagnostic microbiologist, have been provided with a sample of this patient’s milk from the affected breast ducts for investigation. You need to correctly diagnose the infectious agent and determine antibiotic sensitivity to recommend choice antibiotics for effective treatment.

1. Construct a model that has a central carbon atom with four different colored spheres attached to it, representing four different atoms or groups. Fill in the line-and-wedge drawing below to represent this model and answer the following question: (a) Does the model have a plane of symmetry?

The central carbon atom is said to be a chirality center. Most molecules of nature are chiral. The word “chiral” is derived from the Greek word, cheir and means “handed.” Chiral molecules are related to their mirror images in the same way that your left hand is related to your right hand. They are not identical!

Change one of the colored spheres so that two of the four spheres are the same

(b) fill in a 3-D and answer the following questions:

c) Does the molecule now possess a plane of symmetry?

d) In view of your answers to a–b above, what condition is necessary for a molecule to be chiral?

2. Reconstruct the original carbon with four different colored spheres. Set the model on the table. Construct another model that is the mirror image of the first and place it on the table.

a) Try to superimpose the two models. Are they the same or different? If different, in what sense?

b) What is the stereochemical term that relates these two models?

c) What two important properties must the two molecules (models) each have to be related by the term that is the answer to 3b?

Choose one colored sphere on a model and remove it - Change it to match another color on that model. Do the exact same thing on the other model.
d) Are the models still mirror images?

e) Do the models have a plane of symmetry? If there is a plane of symmetry, describe its location.

f) Are the models superimposable?
g) Do the models represent identical or different molecules? Are they chiral? Explain.

Hypnosis and the Stroop effect: In Chapter 1, you were given an opportunity to complete the Stroop test, in which color words are printed in the wrong color; for example, the word redmight be printed in the color blue. The conflict that arises when we try to name the color of ink the words are printed in but are distracted when the color word does not match the ink color increases reaction time and decreases accuracy. Several researchers have suggested that the Stroop effect can be decreased by hypnosis. Raz, Fan, and Posner (2005) used brain-imaging techniques to demonstrate that posthypnotic suggestion led highly hypnotizable people to see Stroop words as nonsense words. Imagine that you are working with Raz and colleagues and your assignment is to determine whether reaction times decrease (remember, a decrease is a good thing; it indicates that participants are faster) when highly hypnotizable people receive a posthypnotic suggestion to view the words as nonsensical. You conduct the experiment on six participants, once in each condition, and receive the following data; the first number is reaction time in seconds without the posthypnotic suggestion, and the second number is reaction time with the posthypnotic suggestion: Participant 1: 12.6, 8.5 Participant 2: 13.8, 9.6 Participant 3: 11.6, 10.0 Participant 4: 12.2, 9.2 Participant 5: 12.1, 8.9 Participant 6: 13.0, 10.8 A. What is the independent variable and what are its levels? What is the dependent variable? B. Conduct all six steps of a paired-samples t test as a two-tailed test. Be sure to label all six steps. C. Report the statistics as you would in a journal article. • Need to show all my work .

Identify a specific job within a specific company that you might be interested in applying for after you graduate from the University of Phoenix.

Research the job and the field in general, as well as ethical issues managerial accountants have faced that would pertain to that field. Also, educate yourself on the basics of operations within the job and company you have selected.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper to include the following:

• Summarize the main duties of the job.
• Describe a specific ethical issue you might face in that position using 2 credible sources to support your description.
• Summarize the IMA's standards of ethical practice and conflict resolution guide.
• Analyze how the IMA's standards of ethical practice and conflict resolution guide applies to the ethical issue.

In Java lang

Standard telephone keypads contain the digits zero through nine. The numbers two through nine each have 3~4 letters (case insensitive) associated with them. Many people find it difficult to memorize phone numbers, so they use the correspondence between digits and letters to develop seven-letter words that correspond to their phone numbers. For example, a person whose telephone number is 686-2377 might remember it as "NUMBERS."

Each seven-letter word corresponds to exactly one seven-digit telephone number, but a seven-digit number corresponds to many seven-letter strings, most of which are not words.

Create a Project2 class under the project package.

In this project you will develop a program which will find all the corresponding English

words given any specific telephone number. Here are the detailed requirements:

In the Project2 class you will create a static void test() method.

The test method will first ask the user to type in through keyboard a 7-digit telephone

number.

If the number typed in by the user is not 7 digits or the number contains some number

of the digit ‘0’ or ‘1’, then your program reports an error and asks to type in another

number.

If the number typed in by the user is a 7-digit telephone number made up of the digits

‘2’ through ‘9’, then your program will print out all the English words corresponding to the telephone number (and the total number of them), using the given English word library in the “COSC240_P2_EnglishWordList.txt”.

In Java:

Write two advanced sorting methods of your choice: (Shell Sort OR Radix Sort) AND (Merge Sort OR Quick Sort). If you choose Shell Sort, experiment with different incremental sequences to see how they affect the algorithm's run time efficiency (count the number of comparisons and exchanges). If you choose to implement Radix Sort, answer the following question as well: Can you write a version of Radix Sort for String objects? If yes, explain how. If not, explain why.

Assume that input data is generated randomly and stored in a text file.

You will experiment with your program in two steps:

Step 1: Experimenting with a prototype data (integers from 1 to 10) to ensure that your implementation works correctly and the results match expectations. The results must be reported in a table format (not generated by the program, but collected manually from multiple program runs) in the a Word document as follows:

                 best case         worst case        average case

          char.1...char.N   char.1...char.N   char.1...char.N

alg.1        ...       ...             ...     ...                 ...      ...

alg.2        ...       ...             ...     ...                 ...      ...

  ...  

alg.N      ...       ...              ...     ...                 ...      ...

Step 2: Experimenting with large data sets of 2000 elements. The results must be reported in the same table format.

In addition, in the report, explain the empirical results generated by your program comparing them to the known theoretical results paying special attention to any discrepancies which must be clearly explained.

Must submit for grading: the java code, the random text file(s) generated by an independent module (you may need multiple random text files to better characterize the average efficiency of the respective algorithm), AND MOST IMPORTANTLY the report as explained above a Word document.

Show all your work. Indicate clearly the methods you use, because you will be scored on the correctness of your methods as well as on the accuracy and completeness of your results and explanations.

To prevent deer from running across highways, researchers are investigating sound-emitting devices that would frighten deer before they reach the highway. As part of the investigation, the researchers set up  20 devices along a two-mile stretch of road. When a deer approached a device, the device would activate and emit a sound. The researchers recorded whether the deer moved toward the highway (positive response), away from the highway (negative response), or did not move (neutral response).

The researchers kept the loudness of the sound constant at  60 decibels. However, they varied the pitch of the sound. There were  6 treatment levels, all measured in kilohertz  (kHz): 0,  0.28,  1,  8,  15, and  28. The order of the treatments was randomly assigned.

(a) The control in the experiment was  0 kHz, or no sound. What information is gained by using the control with no sound that could not be obtained if no control were used?
