You do not need to isolate the entire list of organisms from each other, just your unknown from the list. See the sample flow chart.

Using your biochemical and morphological results to indentify the identity of your orphan organism by using the Bergey’s manual.

Create a flow chart and identify your orphan organism.

UNKNOWN # 3

The follow biochemical tests were performed after an unknown bacterium was isolated into a pure culture. Each of the tests was incubated at 37°C for 24 hours and when appropriate the use of reagents was added in the correct volumes to each of the tests. The following table describes these results.

Read the passage given below, and answer the questions given at the end. Each answer must be within the
word limit of 50-100 words.
Passage:
Students are responsible for familiarising themselves with the University Code of Student Conduct, as on
enrollment with the University the student has placed themselves under the policies and regulations of the
University and all of its duly constituted bodies. Disciplinary authority is exercised through the Student
Conduct Committee. The Committee has procedures in place for hearing allegations of misconduct. Copies of
the student conduct code are available at the Student Services Office.
Academic dishonesty is never condoned by the University. This includes cheating and plagiarism, which violate
the Student Conduct Code and could result in expulsion or failing the course.
Cheating includes but is not limited to obtaining or giving unauthorized help during an examination, getting
unauthorized information about the contents of an examination before it is administered, using unauthorised
sources of information during an examination, altering or falsifying the record of any grades, altering or
supplying answers after an examination has been handed in, falsifying any official University record, and
misrepresenting the facts to get exemptions from or extensions to course requirements.
Plagiarism includes but is not limited to submitting any paper or other document, to satisfy an academic
requirement, which has been copied either in whole or in part from someone else’s work without identifying
that person; failing to identify as a quotation a documented idea that has not been thoroughly assimilated into
the student's language and style, or paraphrasing a passage so closely that the reader could be misled as to the
source; submitting the same written or oral material in different courses without obtaining authorisation from
the lecturers involved; or 'dry-labbing', which includes obtaining and using experimental data from fellow
students without the express consent of the lecturer, utilizing experimental data and laboratory write-ups
from other parts of the course or from previous terms during which the course was conducted, and fabricating
data to fit the expected results.
Questions:
1. Arsal takes help from an online blog for his final essay assignment. Although he does not copy the
exact words of the blog, the plagiarism check shows more than 60% plagiarism in his essay. What do
you think could be the reason?
2. If you were in Arsal’s place, what steps would you take to ensure the absence of plagiarism in your
essay?
3. How does one credit the original source consulted for the information they have incorporated into
their work?
4. In your opinion, which sources (books, journals, blogs, websites, social media, newspapers, magazines,
videos, etc.) are more reliable in terms of research and why?

    Homework 5: Sigmund Freud

    Freud’s general theory of personality is called ___________________ theory. While working with patients experiencing conversion disorders, Freud became convinced that all such cases were caused by unexpressed sexual motives.

    Freud viewed the mind as being composed of the three parts. The ___________________ functions entirely at the unconscious level and operates according to the ___________________ principle, which attempts to satisfy its needs by using wish-fulfilling mental images. A second part of the mind is called the ___________________, which can be thought of as the executive of personality and helps us to deal with the world through the reality principle. The only part of the mind containing a sense of morality is the ___________________, which is created mainly by parents. Parental punishment creates the moral inhibitions called conscience, whereas parental rewards establish a standard of conduct called the ego ideal.

    Freud believed that our personalities are formed as we pass through a series of developmental stages from infancy to adulthood. Stressful events experienced during a stage can leave the personality ___________________ at that stage. According to Freud, the developmental stages result from a shifting energy from one ___________________ zone to another. Since these stages represent the release of sexual energy, they are called ___________________ stages. The first stage, lasting from birth to one year of age, is called the ___________________ stage. If a person becomes fixated in the oral stage, he or she may engage in overeating and drinking.

    The second stage of development, from one to three years, is called the ___________________ stage. Fixations at this stage may lead to a personality that is either stingy and compulsive, called ___________________ ___________________, or cruel and disorderly, called ___________________ ___________________.

    From ages three to six, children are in the ___________________ stage, in which the genitals become the primary source of pleasure. During this stage, boys develop a sexual attraction to their mothers, referred to as the ___________________ ___________________. Boys also develop a fear of their fathers, called ___________________ ___________________. Girls develop desires for their fathers called the ___________________ ___________________. According to Freud, failure to resolve the phallic stage results in a phallic personality, characterized by egocentric selfishness, impulsiveness, and a lack of genuine feeling for others.

    From ages 6 to 11, children enter the ___________________ stage, during which sexual interest is relatively inactive. From age 11 through adulthood, the individual is in the ___________________ stage, in which sexual and romantic interests are directed towards one’s peers. Most modern revisions of psychoanalysis agree that Freud overemphasized ___________________  motivation, underemphasized positive aspects of personality and the importance of relationships, and was prejudiced against women.

You are expected to prepare a human pedigree detailing the inheritance of a single
genetic disease or disorder.
The pedigree will be created from the following information:
● There are five generations.
● In generation 1, there are two families.
o family one, the male is affected; this family should be listed on the
left.
o family 2 the female is affected.
● In generation 2 there are 12 individuals. Information on this generation:
o family 1 had 7 children, family 2 had four.
o family 1 first three children were girls, the remainder boys
o family 2 had a girl, two boys, and another girl.
o the eldest female of family 1 was married.
▪ She went on to have one daughter, and then one male,
affected
o the youngest male of family 1 and the eldest female of family 2
were married. This youngest male was affected.
▪ They went on to have five children. One girl, two boys, and
two more girls. The eldest boy, and two youngest girls were
all affected.
▪ The eldest daughter went on to have a boy and a girl.
o the youngest daughter of family 1, and both males of family 2, were
affected.
● In generation 3 there are at least 9 members.
o The youngest girl of the merged family had two sons. The first died
at birth and it is unknown if he was affected. The second was
affected
o The second oldest daughter of the merged family had one affected
male. She was not married.
o A daughter was born, who was a descendant of family 1 only,
whose mother was unaffected
▪ Her father was affected.
▪ She also has an adopted brother
▪ She went on to have twin daughters
▪ She was not married
● In generation 4 there are 7 members.
o Four of five males were affected
● In generation 5 there are 2 members.
● Generation one is dead.
● Non-married partners are not included in the pedigree.
● Unless specified assume all individuals have married parents.
● Unless specified, assume all spouses are unaffected
You will provide all genotypes for the second generation and ensure all known affected
individuals are marked.

After depicting the disease on the pedigree, you should include determine its dominant
or recessive inheritance pattern, and its autosomal or sex-linked position in the human
genome. Then, you will research a condition that matches this pattern and describe it in
full. Also, you should include a brief description of the manifestations and clinical
outcomes of the disease. The written portion of the assignment should be completed in
Microsoft Word.

Ariel Tax Services prepares tax returns for individual and corporate clients. As the company has gradually expanded to 10 offices, the founder, Max Jacobs, has begun to feel as though he is losing control of operations. In response to this concern, he has decided to implement a performance measurement system that will help control current operations and facilitate his plans of expanding to 20 offices.

Jacobs describes the keys to the success of his business as follows:

“Our only real asset is our people. We must keep our employees highly motivated and we must hire the 'cream of the crop.' Interestingly, employee morale and recruiting success are both driven by the same two factors—compensation and career advancement. In other words, providing superior compensation relative to the industry average coupled with fast-track career advancement opportunities keeps morale high and makes us a very attractive place to work. It drives a high rate of job offer acceptances relative to job offers tendered.”

“Hiring highly qualified people and keeping them energized ensures operational success, which in our business is a function of productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness. Productivity boils down to employees being billable rather than idle. Efficiency relates to the time required to complete a tax return. Finally, effectiveness is critical to our business in the sense that we cannot tolerate errors. Completing a tax return quickly is meaningless if the return contains errors.”

“Our growth depends on acquiring new customers through word-of-mouth from satisfied repeat customers. We believe that our customers come back year after year because they value error-free, timely, and courteous tax return preparation. Common courtesy is an important aspect of our business! We call it service quality, and it all ties back to employee morale in the sense that happy employees treat their clients with care and concern.”

“While sales growth is obviously important to our future plans, growth without a corresponding increase in profitability is useless. Therefore, we understand that increasing our profit margin is a function of cost-efficiency as well as sales growth. Given that payroll is our biggest expense, we must maintain an optimal balance between staffing levels and the revenue being generated. As I alluded to earlier, the key to maintaining this balance is employee productivity. If we can achieve cost-efficient sales growth, we should eventually have 20 profitable offices!”

Create a balanced scorecard for Ariel Tax Services. Link your scorecard measures using the framework from Exhibit 9–5. Indicate whether each measure is expected to increase or decrease.

M5_8. Cullowhee Manufacturing manufactures kitchen sinks that are made out of a composite material. The production of these sinks utilizes three processes – molding, finishing, and painting. The number of units that can be processed by each of these processes in an hour is shown below:

This is a sequential process – so products cannot be finished if they have not been molded; products cannot be painted if they have not been finished (Hint: constraints- the number of finished products must be the same as the number of molded products?). The labor costs per hour are $11 for molding; $13 for finishing; and $15 for painting. Cullowhee manufacturing has a maximum labor budget of $4000 per week. A total of 120 hours of labor is available for each of the three processes per week. Each completed sink requires 9 pounds of the composite material and the company has a total of 8,000 pounds of this material available every week (Hint: how much material is used in one hour in Molding?). Each sink earns a profit of $125 (Hint: the profit for this situation is based on the number of products that are painted). The manager of Cullowhee Manufacturing wants to know how many hours per week to run each process to maximize profit. (Note: Product mix problems usually have decision variables that represent the number of products to make – this is a situation where the decision variables represent the number of hours to run each department)

1. a) What is the expected profit (the value of the objective function)?

2. b) Based on your solution, how many hours should molding operate per week (enter as an

   integer)?

3. c) Based on your solution, how many hours should finishing operate per week (enter as an

   integer)?

4. d) Based on your solution, how many hours should painting operate per week (enter as an

   integer)?

5. e) If you could additional hours to one department (e.g. increase from 120 per week to something

   greater than 120 per week) to improve the objective function – which department would you

   add additional hours of capacity?

6. f) How many sinks are they producing per week (you need to calculate this using information from

   your optimal solution.

   Submit the Word document with the formulation for Problem M5.8 (decision variables, objective function, constraints in standard format as specified/demonstrated in videos). Submit Excel file with solution for M5.8 using LP Template
