For this deliverable, you will evaluate software suitability, human systems integration, survivability,

and interoperability issues for the SWARM Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system. Provide a report that summarizes your findings for this analysis.

5.1 Software suitability

For this task, in the Maier and Rechtin text, in other course material, and your general knowledge of software.

Identify three software suitability characteristics that you select as the highest priority for the UAV System. For each characteristic, justify why you selected it as a high priority for this system.

For each software suitability characteristics identied above, construct a well-written sample software suitability requirement that could be included in the system requirements for the UAV SWARM system.

For each of your software suitability requirements, discuss the test and evaluation activities needed to provide the basis for the final acceptance of the SWARM UAV system. Include estimates of the cost, duration, personnel, equipment, ranges, and other factors necessary for test, evaluation, and acceptance.

For each estimate, provide a rationale.

5.2 Usability, survivability, & interoperability

Identify one potential issue for each of the following ilities that applies specifically to the SWARM UAV system, and discuss a feasible solution to address the issue

usability

survivability

interoperability with an external system

5.3 Overall suitability

Clearly state you nal conclusion about the overall suitability of the UAV SWARM system as a research platform. Provide justication of your nal conclusion by using the key results from your previous analyses done for the system.

Lester Hollar is vice president for human resources for a large manufacturing company. In recent years, he has noticed an increase in absenteeism that he thinks is related to the general health of the employees. Four years ago, in an attempt to improve the situation, he began a fitness program in which employees exercise during their lunch hour. To evaluate the program, he selected a random sample of eight participants and found the number of days each was absent in the six months before the exercise program began and in the six months following the exercise program. Below are the results.

At the 0.010 significance level, can he conclude that the number of absences has declined? Estimate the p-value.

1. State the decision rule for 0.010 significance level. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

2. Compute the test statistic. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

3. The p-value is

• Between 0.01 and 0.025

• Between 0.001 and 0.005

• Between 0.005 and 0.01

4. State your decision about the null hypothesis.

• Do not reject H₀

• Reject H₀

    1. They are inhibited by pathogens.

    2. They have not evolved the ability.

    3. They are not able to survive in other tissues.

    4. Our normal microbiota does regularly invade other tissues of the body.

Thank you very much!!!

10. Over the past year, the vice president for human resources at a large medical center has run a series of three-month workshops aimed at increasing worker motivation and performance. To check the effectiveness of the workshops, she selected a random sample of 35 employees from the personnel files. She collected the employee performance ratings recorded before and after workshop attendance and stored the paired ratings in the Excel data file for this assignment under the tab Perform.   

Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test and then state your findings and conclusions regarding the value of these workshops. (Significance level of 5%)

1. State your null and alternative hypothesis.
2. What is the conclusion of your test? Justify your answer, including an interpretation of the confidence interval and the p-value.
3. Assuming the cost of the training is $1000 per employee, what would be your decision regarding these workshops under the assumption that an increase in performance of at least 10% would justify the cost?

Economics of Poverty - Human Capital

Explain how education can act as a signal for ability. What are separating and pooling equilibria in this context. Explain why a separating equilibrium is required for education to act as a signal for ability. What condition has to hold for a separating equilibrium to exist? Assuming that firms only reward higher education because it acts as a signal for ability, evaluate the social welfare effects of a program that subsidizes the cost of education for people who seem likely to do poorly in the labor market without any intervention (apparently low ability individuals)?

40. Titanium, a hapten, is now being used frequently in human joint replacement. In terms of an immune response to titanium, you would expect

     a.   an innate immune response.

     b.   no immune response because titanium is not a large enough, complex molecule.

     c.   an allergic response because titanium is a metal

     d. no immune response because titanium is not part of any microorganisms

     e.   an adaptive immune response because titanium is foreign to the body.

41. Which of the following best characterizes antigens?

     a. Antigens may be proteins, polysaccharides, glycolipids, or glycoproteins that stimulate an immune response.

Plotting rotational variables

Continuing on with using the human body as a physics apparatus, it’s time to try an experiment with your leg!  First, find a comfortable place where you can sit and swing your legs freely.  This could be an office chair which you raise to the point where your feet do not touch the ground, a table top (which can support your weight!), picnic table, or any other location where you sit and swing your legs freely from your knees.

Your task is to create a sketch of your foot’s motion as you GENTLY swing your foot from directly under you, to a fully extended position.  Try rocking your foot back and forth a few times and imagine how the foot’s angular displacement, velocity, and acceleration are changing over time.  Imagine that the angular displacement is zero when your foot is resting directly underneath you.

8.  In the space below, make a sketch of angular displacement, , as a function of time as you slowly and steadily bring your foot from beneath you, to the extended position. Appendix A has a nice review of how to sketch a plot of “something” vs. “another thing”.  You may find the drawing functionin Google docs useful in creating the plot. Or you can sketch it out on paper and attach a photograph of the sketch, your preference.

.  In the space below, make a sketch of angular velocity vs. time of your foot as you slowly and steadily bring your foot from directly underneath to straight out from the knee.

10.   In the space below, make a sketch of angular acceleration vs. time of your foot as you slowly and steadily bring your foot from directly beneath you, to straight out.

Question 2 [Budgeting]

A) The human resources manager of your firm is worried about the amount of time and resources consumed by the budget committee annually. She believes the whole process is a waste of time and that departments should be allowed to set their budgets. But you also reckon that a budget is based on the policies needed to fulfil the objectives of the entity i.e. it is a plan consisting of objectives and what to do to achieve the objectives. As an account officer in the finance department, the head of finance has asked you to address the fears of the HR manager in a memo. You are required identify at least four (4) budgetary design issues and discuss the questions that these issues raise together with solutions that may be adopted in practice. Also, analyze the pros and cons of for her proposal. [25 marks]

B) Ashesi University is considering the addition of a new programme - Law. Even though management is content with the profitability projections of the program, the Chief Financial Officer recommends the preparation of cash budget in addition to the financial projections. Explain why the Chief Financial Officer will be insisting on the inclusion of the cash budget. [10 marks]
