27) Describe in detail what the greenhouse effect is and how it works/what causes it
List 2 examples of greenhouse gases.
What is the general consensus among scientists about whether or not global climate change is occurring and if human activities are contributing to this? Give at least 2 examples of reasons or statistics/data that would help why scientists have come to this conclusion. Be sure to answer both questions (2 points)

The technology and the media have played increasingly
larger roles that may have affected our interpretation of physical
development and perception. Please share your thoughts regarding
how television shows portray physical characteristics across the
lifespan. Select a current television show that you are familiar
with and share your reflection about how that show portrays:
children, adolescents, young adults, adult or older adults. Also
explain how rapid changes in technology may have affected this
portrayal over the last thirty years. Give specific examples of
biological, psychological, or sociocultural factors that you see
demonstrated in this show.

Task 6 – CPU Architecture
Please explain in your own words for each part of Question 6. Quote
your references in your ―References‖ /
―Bibliography‖
(a)
1. For modern CPU architectures please explain what is
true about this statement.
“Why you cannot use CPU clock-speed only to compare computer
performance.”
Marks will be awarded for research and clear explanations into CPU
concepts of
threads, multi – threads, cores, relationship between cores and
threads, multi-
tasking and multi-processing.
2. Explain how threads are used by the CPU to process
tasks by describing a modern example, e.g., the multi-core mobile
phone that you use every
day has an interesting organisation of threads.
However, it can be any other modern example of hardware that uses
―threads‖.
(b) There are a number of techniques used by CPU
designers to improve
the performance of their processors. However, these optimisation
strategies do not
always work – for some workloads, they may have no effect, or even
cause performance to degrade.
What is a circumstance where simultaneous multi-threading (S.M.T.)
cannot offer
any advantage, or possibly even cause a performance decrease

You are currently working as a contractor building state of the art airports. One of the managerial accountants of the company you work for comes to talk to you about the budget for a project on which you have taken the lead. He wants to know your estimate for the cost of the project. You know that your future with the company depends on your performance in relation to this budget. Your best guess for this project is that it will cost $2,000,000.
What do you say to your boss and why?

A manufacturing company produces electrical insulators. If the insulators break when in use, a short circuit is likely to occur. To test the strength of the insulators, destructive testing is carried out to determine how much force is required to break the insulators. Force is measured by observing the number of pounds of force applied to the insulator before it breaks. The following data (stored in Force) are from 30 insulators subjected to this testing:
| Force |

construct 90, 95, and 99 percent confidence intervals for the population mean, and state the practical and probabilistic interpretations of each. Indicate which interpretation you think would be more appropriate to use. Explain why the three intervals that you construct are not of equal width. Indicate which of the three intervals you would prefer to use as an estimate of the population mean, and state the reason for your choice.
In a length of hospitalization study conducted by several cooperating hospitals, a random sample of 64 peptic ulcer patients was drawn from a list of all peptic ulcer patients ever admitted to the participating hospitals and the length of hospitalization per admission was determined for each. The mean length of hospitalization was found to be 8.25 days. The population standard deviation is known to be 3 days.

1. What should you do if a person changes their end-of-life requests? Create a step-by-step outline of what you should do that could be used to train other care workers.
2. When a person who is accessing services informs you that they wish to die at home, what action should you take?
3. What are three things that you should document when a person is reporting that they have pain?
4. Research one of the pain management/comfort promotion techniques mentioned in this section to learn more about it. How might this help people in palliative care? How can it be applied and is a specialist practitioner/health professional required? Where can you learn more and/or find a qualified practitioner?
5. Explain three observations that you would make to see if the pain relief is effective or not effective.
