In Java inputs and output values can easily be manipulated, for example when dealing with money the value should always be formatted to 2 decimals or another use is separating of words in even spaces, line breaks and etc. Your task is to prompt the user for 2 numbers one integer the other decimal and print their product in money format. The program should also take in two words delimitated by @ symbol.
Sample run 1:
Enter a whole number: 4
Enter a decimal number: 6.854
Enter two words delimitated by @ symbol: Mango@15@
Output:
The product of the 2 numbers: 27.416
The product in money format is: N$ 27.42
Assuming the user bought 4 Mango(s) costing N$ 6.85
The VAT to be charged is 15%, hence total due to be paid is N$
31.53
[Hint: The two word provided are the item sold and the VAT charged,
which is added on the product calculation. For formatted printing
and keyboard input see page 129 – 139 in the prescribed book]

Should I give the Page Quality (PQ) rate of LOW or LOWEST?
1. True/False - A page with a mismatch between the location of the page and the rate location; for example an English (UK) page for an English (US) rating task.
I think it's false because of this statement in the general guidelines. Do not consider the country or location of the page or website for PQ rating. For example, English (US) raters should use the same PQ standards when rating pages from other English language websites (UK) as they use when rating pages from the U.S websites. In other words, English (US) raters should not lower the PQ rating because the page location (UK) does not match the task location.
2. True/False A file type other than a webpage, for example: a PDF, a Microsoft Word document, or a PNG file.
3. True/False A page that gets a Didn't Load flag.
4. True/False Pages with an obvious problem with functionality or errors in displaying content.

A paper manufacturing organization:
The operations process here will have the entire supply chain comprising of sourcing to inventory management to production to finished goods storage to dispatch. The production process will be a major operations area that will involve issue of raw material from stock to the flow of this material through different processes at plant. There would be WIP/inventory at the end of each process step. Finally the end product will be packed as per specifications post inspection and stored for dispatch to customers.
There will be several decisions required to be taken here like what kind of raw material inventory to keep and the reorder points for the same, what capacity planning to be done depending on the demand, the processes/machines to be run as per the timelines and monthly targets defined, the internal mapping of manpower to processes, the output to be dispatched at the right time to the customers will all quality specifications met
An internal design office: An internal design office will be service organization working for clients to provide designs be it for architectural purposes or for home furnishing industry, etc. Here the operation process will be more streamlined and simpler where based on customer requirements, there will be team assigned to work on software to come up with the required design. One change here that we will see compared to a paper manufacturing organization is that even when the design is made, it can undergo iterations basis feedback received from customers.
The operations decisions will largely be on the expected timelines for creating a design, the manpower required to finish the project, the requirement for additional tools/software to aid in completion of work, etc.
2.
Marketing: Marketing may see this as an internal shift of thought process and their outgoing communication to stakeholders need to be aligned accordingly
Finance will see this as a change in the operating model and the MIS and operating performance need to be tracked likewise so that the accountability for the profitability of different work centers is not compromised
Human resources may feel concerned about the existing manpower and the skills they possess whether adequate to make this move
Accounting will need to look at the costs in a different manner compared to what was being done in a batch process and align with Finance
Information systems will need an overhaul as there would be a major ERP change due to this

A soap factory is a manufacturing unit which has raw materials procured from different vendors, the raw materials are stored in a central location, issued in batches for production based on demand outlook and manufactured at different steps. The end product is then packed in the packing dept. and post inspection stored in batched ready to be dispatched to distributors/sellers

—Urology and Obstetrics & Gynecology Departments
By the due date assigned you will write 2 reports referring to the departments of
Urology (Genitourinary System) and Obstetrics and Gynecology (Female Reproductive System). For the UrologyDepartment, you write a 2 paragraph report and use that for the script of your Oral Report. For the FemaleReproductive System, there are 2 audio clips containing spoken medical terms. See Instructions below for the special directions for this section only.
In order to earn the maximum credit for the written report you need to incorporate at least 10 medical terms for each department, using them in a manner that demonstrates your knowledge of their meaning.
Include the major or most common diseases or conditions seen in each department.
Include at least three of the principal procedures that are relevant to each department.
Highlight pertinent laboratory and radiological diagnostic services relevant to each department.
Limit your analysis of each department to two paragraphs.
Special Addition of QEP Assignment for Spoken Medical Terminology.
In addition, we have something for you auditory learners who prefer to listen for understanding. (This week only!) This only applies to the Female Reproductive Body System.
Instructions: click on the audio clips to hear a Healthcare Professional describing 2 patients admitted to your fictitious hospital. One is a patient with a gynecological problem, and one is a patient with an obstetric problem. There are many medical terms used. You are to identify at least 20 (10 from each patient) medical terms, and list them with correct spelling, and a definition in your own words (to verify understanding! Copying a definition can bypass the brain altogether!) Put your list in an MS Word doc. File and place that into the Submissions Area. (This might push down your other assignments already submitted, but the files are still safely in there and retrievable by your Instructor.)
Don’t forget your references!

Which internal control procedure would be most cost-effective in dealing with the following expenditure cycle threats?
A purchasing agent orders materials from a supplier that he partially owns.
Receiving-dock personnel steal inventory and then claim the inventory was sent to the warehouse.
An unordered supply of laser printer paper delivered to the office is accepted and paid for because the “price is right.” After all of the laser printers are jammed, however, it becomes obvious that the “bargain” paper is of inferior quality.
The company fails to take advantage of a 1% discount for promptly paying a vendor invoice.
A company is late in paying a particular invoice. Consequently, a second invoice is sent, which crosses the first invoice’s payment in the mail. The second invoice is submitted for processing and also paid.
Inventory records show that an adequate supply of copy paper should be in stock, but none is available on the supply shelf.
The inventory records are incorrectly updated when a receiving-dock employee enters the wrong product number at the terminal.
A clerical employee obtains a blank check and writes a large amount payable to a fictitious company. The employee then cashes the check.
A fictitious invoice is received and a check is issued to pay for goods that were never ordered or delivered.
The petty cash custodian confesses to having “borrowed” $12,000 over the last five years.
A purchasing agent adds a new record to the supplier master file. The company does not exist. Subsequently, the purchasing agent submits invoices from the fake company for various cleaning services. The invoices are paid.
A clerk affixes a price tag intended for a low-end flat-panel TV to a top-of-the-line model. The clerk’s friend then purchases that item, which the clerk scans at the checkout counter.
Read Chap 13 Introduction and replicate the following diagrams and flowcharts in EITHER Word/Excel/software or in hand-writing (rather than copy and paste or even print from the textbook) and then make submission by (1) uploading Word/Excel/software file, (2) converting into PDF file and then submiting, or (3) taking pictures and then turning in.

I'm having trouble understanding a CS assignment. I would appreciate it if you all code do this for me. The template for the lab is below which you must use. You're only supposed to create/edit the product function. The assignment has to be written in asm(Mips)
You will need to create a NOS table and use the structure below and write a function called product.
The structure used in this program is:
struct Values {
short left;
short right;
int result;
};
The product function has the following C++ prototype:
int product(Values values[], int num_values);
This function will take an array of Values structures and multiply every Value structure's left times right and store the result in the result field. You will be doing this for num_values number of elements.
This is why the structure is NOT constant. It will be modified in place. Finally, when this function is done, it will return the sum of all results. Make sure that your function does not use any global variables.
Testing
As always, I recommend you write your logic in C++, then translate. If you ask for help with the TAs (or me), we may ask you to show us your logic. Do not change the prototype and do not change the Values structure.
Template:
.data values: # element 0 .half 20 # short left .half 3 # short right .word 0 # int result # element 1 .half 7 # short left .half 5 # short right .word 0 # int result .text j main product: # Write your product function here main: la $a0, values li $a1, 2 jal product # Print out the sum move $a0, $v0 li $v0, 1 syscall # Put a newline character to separate li $v0, 11 li $a0, '\n' syscall # Print out the product of the first element li $v0, 1 la $a0, values lw $a0, 4($a0) syscall # Put a newline character to separate li $v0, 11 li $a0, '\n' syscall # Print out the product of the second element li $v0, 1 la $a0, values lw $a0, 12($a0) syscall # Put a newline character to separate li $v0, 11 li $a0, '\n' syscall

4. Enhanced transmission method
Use the same probabilities ?0 ; ?0; and ?1 as before and consider the following experiment: p0=0.6 ; e0=0.05; e1=0.03
• You create and transmit a one-bit message S as before. In order to improve reliability, the same bit “S” is transmitted three times (S S S) as shown in Figure 2.
• The received bits “R” are not necessarily the same as the transmitted bits “S” due to transmission errors. The three received bits, shown as (R1 R2 R3) in Figure 2 will be equal to one of the following eight triplets: (R1 R2 R3) ={ (000), (001), (010), (100), (011), (101), (110), (111) } When you look at the received triplet (R1 R2 R3) you must decide what was the bit “S” originally transmitted by using voting and the majority rule. Here are some examples of the majority rule.
• For example, if the three received bits are (R1 R2 R3)=(001), then the majority rule will decide that the bit must be a “0”. We denote this as the decoded bit D=0.
• As another example if the three received bits are (R1 R2 R3)=(101), then the majority rule will decode the bit as D=1.
• Another example: If you send S=0 three times, i.e. (S S S) = ( 0 0 0 ) and the received string is (R1 R2 R3) = (000), (001), (010), or (100) then the symbol will be decoded as D=0 and the experiment is a success, otherwise it is a failure.
• Another example: If you transmit S=1 three times, i.e. (S S S) = ( 1 1 1 ) and the received string is (011), (101), (110), or (111) the symbol will be decoded as D=1 and the experiment is a success, otherwise it is a failure.
• This procedure as described above is considered one experiment.
• Repeat the experiment N=100,000 times and count the number of successes.
• Find the probability that the transmitted bit "S" will be received and decoded incorrectly.
• Comment on whether the voting method used in this problem provides any improvement as compared to the method of Problem 1.
• SUBMIT your report in a Word or PDF file. Use the table below for your answer. Note: You will need to replicate the table in your Word file, in order to provide the answer in your report. Points will be taken off if you do not use the table. Probability of error with enhanced transmission Ans. p = ?
