Program C You are given some data from an animal shelter, listing animals that they currently have. They have asked you to write a program to sort the dogs and cats in age in ascending order, respectively, and write them in separate files. Assume the input file has the format of name (one word), species (one word), gender (one word), age (int), weight (double), with each animal on a separate line:

Hercules cat male 3 13.4

Toggle dog female 3 48

Buddy lizard male 2 0.3 ….

Example input/output:

Enter the file name: animals.txt

Output file name: sorted_dogs.txt sorted_cats.txt

1. Name your program animals.c.

2. The output file name should be sorted_dogs.txt and sorted_cats.txt. Assume the input file name is no more than 100 characters.

3. The program should be built around an array of animal structures, with each animal containing information of name, species, gender, age, and weight. Assume that there are no more than 200 items in the file. Assume the name of an animal is no more than 100 characters.

4. Use fscanf and fprintf to read and write data.

5. Your program should include a sorting function so that it sorts the animals in age. You can use any sorting algorithms such as selection sort and insertion sort. void sort_animals(struct animal list[], int n);

6. Output files should be in the format of name gender age weight, with 2 decimal digits for weight.

For example,

Toggle female 3 48.01

Rocky male 5 52.32

(a) Chau’s electric circuit is a simple electronic circuit that can exhibit chaotic behaviour. The voltages x(t) and y(t), and current z(t), across components in the circuit can be investigated using the Matlab command

[t,xyz] = ode45(@ChuaFunction,[-10 100],[0.7 0.2 0.3]);

and the function:

1 function dxyzdt = ChuaFunction(~,xyz)

2 % xyz(1) = X, xyz(2) = Y, xyz(3) = Z

3 4 dxdt = 15.6*(xyz(2) - xyz(1) + 2*tanh(xyz(1)));

5 dydt = xyz(1) - xyz(2) + xyz(3);

6 dzdt = -28*xyz(2); 7

8 dxyzdt = [dxdt dydt dzdt]’;

9 end

(i) What is the differential equation involving x˙(t)? Here a dot represents differentiation with respect to time t.

(ii) What is the initial condition for the variable y(t)?

(iii) What does the apostrophe after the square brackets in line 8 of the function signify and why is the apostrophe needed here?

(b) For a given function u(t), explain how the derivative of u(t) with respect to t can be approximated on a uniform grid with grid spacing ∆t, using the one-sided forward difference approximation

du/dt ≈ Ui+1 − Ui/ ∆t ,

where ui = u(ti). You should include a suitable diagram explaining your answer

(c) Using the one-sided forward difference approximation from part (b) and Euler’s method, calculate the approximate solution to the initial value problem

du/dt + t cos(u) = 0, subject to u(0) = −0.2,

at t = 0.4, on a uniform grid with spacing ∆t = 0.1.

PYTHON (BEGINNER) program that allows the user to choose any of the three sports options described below and computes the relevant statistic in each case:

Quidditch Score Total: Determined based on the number of goals and whether or not the snitch was caught. A goal is scored by propelling the quaffle through a hoop and each earns the team 10 points. If a team catches the snitch, that team earns an additional 30 points. The snitch can be caught at most once. More details on Quidditch available from the International Quidditch Association.

(Simplified) Quarterback Rating: Defined as

100 * [5(completions/attempts – 0.3) + 0.25(passing_yards/attempts-3) + 20(touchdown_passes/attempts) + 2.375 – (25 * interceptions/attempts)]/6,

where attempts is the number of passing attempts made, completions is the number of completed passing attempts, touchdown_passes is the number of passes for a touchdown, and interceptions is the number of times the ball was intercepted. A perfect passer rating in the NFL is considered to be a 158.3. In addition to the rating, tell the user whether or not the quarterback is a perfect passer.

Gymnast Score: Begins with six scores, one for difficulty and five for execution, each between 0 and 10. Of the execution scores, the highest and lowest are dropped. The final score is given by the sum of the difficulty score and the average of the three remaining execution scores.

Input Validation:

Check if you are going to divide by zero when relevant, and do not do the calculation if that is the case.
Before typecasting user inputs to an int, check that it is only digits, and don’t typecast or do the calculation otherwise. (For this assignment, do not worry about checking if floats are valid.)
In any case where an error is detected, output an error message. Do not continue the calculation. You may additionally output a result of zero in such a case.

Case:

Carl Kelly is an American transpatriate assigned to Motorola’s facility in a former USSR satellite nation in Eastern Europe, called Ruritania. Carl has found that Ruritanian culture strange and experienced a bit of culture shock, which explains why he arranged to have his wife Kathleen join him as soon as possible. Kathleen arrived in Ruritania 10 months ago, eagerly looking forward to spending more time with Carl than was possible back in Florida. She was rudely surprised. In those 10 months she was able to spend “quality” time with him on exactly 7 weekends!

Then came some good news. Last month Carl was told that for the next four weeks you would be assigned to Surabaya, Indonesia. Kathleen, who had a long-standing interest in Javanese arts, wanted to go along. That way, on weekdays she could enjoy local music, dance, drama, painting and sculpture, and on weekends she and Carl could finally snatch some quality time together in nearby Bali.

But there was a problem. All three of the Kelly children were in college, and their combined tuition payments were huge financial burden, making it difficult to afford Kathleen’s airfare to Indonesia.

Yaroslav, a Ruritanian colleague of Carl’s, offered to help them out. Yaroslav got in touch with Easy Virtue Travel, a most obliging local company. That evening Easy Virtue delivered to round-trip coach tickets to Surabaya for Carl and Kathleen, along with a bill for just one round trip “business-class” passage for Carl. This way, Carl would bill Motorola for business-class reimbursement, while he and Kathleen would fly coach. Carl would be personally out-of-pocket only an extra $27.94 for Kathleen’s seat. “Not bad,” exclaimed Carl. “That will make up for all of those lonely weekends,” added an eager Kathleen.

That night, though, Carl had trouble sleeping. “Deserve it or not, this is probably against some corporate regulation. I better check with Sam.”

Sam Smoothover was Motorola’s HR manager for Ruritania. Sam had long experience in the former satellite countries and suspected that local Ruritania travel agencies often did things that were technically frowned upon by foreigners, yet actually humane in their consequences. Sam also enjoyed an enviable reputation for putting the well-being of Motorolans high on his list of value priorities – certainly higher than formal compliance with the details of regulations set by headquarters 4,000 miles away.

Sam’s reaction was, “Okay, Carl, you and Kathleen make the trip this time. I just don’t go around talking to people about it.”

However, a few days later Sam had his own second thoughts and decided to check with corporate officials in Schaumburg, just to make sure it really was okay.

Additional information for the case:

Motorola allows for business travel for any trip over five hundred miles so Carl could travel with a business class ticket. The home office also recognizes that the Ruritania assignment is difficult given the primitive living conditions there and that unlike several of his predecessors Carl has done an exceptional job meeting the requirements of the company.

Answer the following questions.

1.         What is the issue?

2.         Do you think that the travel plan for Carl and his wife appropriate? Why?

3.         What are your thoughts regarding Sam Smoothover's response to Carl? What would you have done?

Here is an example of T-test down blow (it doesn't have to be exactly) I need to help with my data which it is about phone service survey. Please help and I really appreciate your time.

T-test looked at how far people travel to visit a healthcare clinic compared to how easy it was to understand the information that their physician was explaining to them (Table 2). The sample group was divided into two categories: people who travel less (?5 miles) and people who travel more (?6 miles). Table 2 shows that, on average, people who travel less understood more information that their physician was explaining to them than the people that traveled more (people who travel less = 4.63, people who travel more = 4.10, p = .026). The conclusion that could be drawn from this finding is that physicians who work in clinics close to dense populations are better at explaining information to their patients. This could be due to these physicians seeing more patients with similar conditions, making it easier for them to explain information to their patients with similar conditions.

Case Study: Omega College
Omega College is a private liberal arts college located in a small town in the Midwest. The closest large city is about fifty miles away. There is a community college in the next town about twenty miles away. Most faculty and staff live in the town or in small towns nearby.
Originally a Protestant-affiliated institution, Omega is now a completely independent institution and receives no funding from the church. It was founded in the late 1800s to meet a pressing need for teachers in the state. Until recently enrollment at Omega has been relatively stable, with average enrollment of 850 full-time undergraduates, some limited programs for part-time students, and a very limited master's degree program in education focusing on certification issues in the state. Undergraduates come to Omega from nearby states, although there is a smattering of students from other areas of the country. There is a very small international student enrollment and most international students study at Omega for a semester and then return home.
Omega has a robust information site on U-Can (the University and College Accountability Network). The cost of tuition is $25,000 for the academic year and room and board is an additional $7800 for two semesters. About 70% of the full-time students who attend Omega receive some type of financial aid (state, federal, and/or institutional).
In each of the last four years the freshman enrollment has missed the target by about twenty students. To offset that enrollment drop, the admissions staff developed an outreach program to the nearby community college to encourage transfer students, but most of the community college transfer students go to the regional campus of the state university to complete their bachelor's degree. There is a nearby military base, but students rarely come to Omega from that source. The average enrollment over the last four years has dropped to 800 full-time students. This is of concern for many reasons, not the least of which is the financial health of the institution.
Omega has a very limited endowment (most of which is earmarked for student financial aid, some academic departmental support, and three endowed professorships) and thus is very dependent on undergraduate tuition to meet the day-to-day operating expenses of the institution. Graduate tuition for the part-time teacher certification program is a financial plus for the institution.
An annual fund program is essential to the fiscal health of the institution and relies on the generosity of board members, alumni, and friends of the institution to help fund the annual operating budget. The decline in enrollment has caused the institution to reduce nonessential budget expenditures, and faculty and staff have not received a raise for the past two years. Obviously, Omega College is just holding on and a new approach to financing the ongoing expenses of the institution is needed.
The institutional administration and faculty and the governing board are currently focused on development of a strategic plan for the institution that deals with both the financial and enrollment questions. The strategic planning committee is charged with the following responsibilities:

    1.The development of a five-year financial plan for the institution.
    2.The development of an academic plan that increases the options and opportunities for students to come to Omega College at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
    3.The development of an aggressive institutional advancement plan. As the committee does its work the college administration must work to stabilize enrollment and keep the doors of the institution open.

What other actions might you recommend that the institution consider for the short term?

QUESTION 5: Case Study I - ETHICS CASE STUDY [10 Marks] One for the Road—Anyone? “Florence Yozefu is a brilliant scientist who heads a robotics research laboratory at one of the top ten research universities. Florence has been developing wearable robotics gear that can take over the driving functions of a vehicle from a human operator when it is worn by the driver. In laboratory tests, the robot, nicknamed Catchmenot, has performed successfully whenever Florence and her assistants have worn the robot. However, no real-life experiment has ever been conducted outside the lab. Florence has been planning to try it out in her project plan but has not yet had a chance to do so. For New Year’s Eve, Florence has plans to visit her mother and sister, about 100 miles away. This was a good opportunity to show her mother and her sister what she has been working on in the last few months. So, she decides to take Catchmenot with her. She packs her car the evening before and on the morning of the trip, she passes by the lab to get her robot and put it in the car. She drives the 100 miles in a little under her usual time and arrives at her mother’s house earlier than usual”. “In the evening, Florence bids her mother good-bye and passes by her sister’s apartment as promised. At her sister’s apartment, she finds a few of her teen friends and they get right into a party mode. Florence drinks and dances and forgets about the time. There are many stories to tell and to listen to. About 1:00 a.m., after the midnight champagne toast, she decides to leave and drive back to her apartment. She had promised to accompany her friends to a pre-planned engagement. Although she is very drunk, and against her friend’s advice and insistence that she should not drive, Florence puts on Catchmenot and in a few minutes she is off. Thirty minutes later, she is cruising at 70 mph and she is also sound asleep. She is awakened by a squirrel running all over her car at about 5:00 a.m. She is parked by the roadside in front of her apartment complex. She has made it home safely. She has no idea when and where she passed out and what happened along the way. She will never know. Although she is surprised, confused, and feels guilty, she is happy how well Catchmenot has worked. She decides to market it. How much should she charge for it, she wonders”. [Source: Kizza J.M. History of Computing.
