If you were going to build a dashboard or a balanced scorecard for a nursing home, what key performance indicators might you use? Explain and elaborate on why your suggested key performance indicators are crucial to effective financial management of a nursing home organization. Think what you would be held accountable for as a manager and develop some easy to read ratios to show history and progress to support your management objectives. Consider if this dashboard would be different if you managed a for profit versus a not for profit. What would be the different indicators and emphasis. (Think about the different missions of these organizations) Be sure to post justification from the readings to support your opinions.

Explain your answer.

13. A structural biologist from a renowned medical research institute has just solved the structure of a protein complex formed between two proteins A and B. She wants to find out if this complex forms in living cells. She has managed to label protein A with a green fluorescent protein and protein B with a red fluorescent protein. The green and red fluorescent proteins form a Forster resonance energy transfer pair.

Explain how you might detect the presence of the A;B complex in living cells paying special attention to which technique you choose, how it works and what you would expect to see. (1 page limit)

piercings and tattoos. A Harris Interactive survey of 514 human resources professionals showed that 46% of them say that piercings or tattoos are big grooming red flags. The margin of error for the survey was 4 percentage points.

A. Based on the given information, state what you think was the goal of the study. Identify a possible population and the population parameter of interest.

B. Briefly describe the sample, raw data, and sample statistic for the study.

C. Based on the sample statistic and the margin of error, identify the range of values (confidence interval) likely to contain the population parameter of interest.

We learned in this section of our study that Monopoly is not widespread because barriers to entry are seldom completely successful. We also learned that they are unsustainable over a long period of time, because of emerging new technologies. Look at what you can investigate and analyze if such evidence is correct or not. Use your analyses and argue for and against antitrust laws. Do we need antitrust laws or companies and market forces will bring them along and correct any problem that may exist and please give evidence in support of your ideas and propositions?

Hi, the following is the question that I have been facing now and I really hope somebody can help me with it.   

Problem analysis:

This section is your analysis of the issues surrounding greenhouse gases and a carbon tax. You need to spell out what are the main problems or issues facing Canadians. Use specific references when making your arguments. If more than one solution exists, then make an argument for focusing on just that one solution. In addition, how will that solution affect the Canadian economy?

b) Explain in detail the various types of defects/failures that a structure may encounter to reach: (i) Ultimate Limit States. (ii) Serviceability States. Note: You may answer each part of this question in a number of paragraphs. It would also be useful if you provided some preliminary AutoCAD images to substantiate your answer
