With regard to some of the challenges faced by IHR Managers, how can they overcome the fact that SMEs are often the second choice if less qualified employees do not meet the recruitment requirements of large organizations? When we discuss learning challenges, should HRM encourage Boundary Spanning positions and why/why not?

Consider the particle-in-a-box problem in 1D. A particle with mass m is confined to move freely between two hard walls situated at x = 0 and x = L. The potential energy function is given as

(a) Describe the boundary conditions that must be satisfied by the wavefunctions ψ(x) (such as energy eigenfunctions).

(b) Solve the Schr¨odinger’s equation and by using the boundary conditions of part (a) find all energy eigenfunctions, ψn(x), and the corresponding energies, En.

(c) What are the allowed values of the quantum number n above? How did you decide on that?

(d) What is the de Broglie wavelength for the ground state?

(e) Sketch a plot of the lowest 3 levels’ wavefunctions (ψn(x) vs x). Don’t forget to mark the positions of the walls on the graphs.

(f) In a transition between the energy levels above, which transition produces the longest wavelength λ for the emitted photon? What is the corresponding wavelength?

A small gas bubble grows in a large container of a Newtonian fluid. As the bubble grows, it pushes liquid away radially. We can ignore the inertia in the liquid, i.e. Re is small. By solving for the flow in the liquid and using the boundary condition at the bubble/liquid interface, we can determine how the bubble growth rate, i.e. the bubble radius R as a function of time, depends on the pressure in the bubble and liquid parameters.

a) Use the continuity equation to find the form of the radial velocity profile in the liquid.

b) Substitute your result into the r-component of the Stokes equation to show that the pressure in the liquid is constant everywhere! Call that pressure p?.

c) write the boundary condition at the bubble/liquid interface, i.e. at r = R. Hint: ignore surface tension so that the condition at the interface becomes the normal stress ?rr must be continuous there. The normal stress on the bubble side is ?rr = -pb, where pb is the pressure inside the bubble.

Consider the second-order boundary value problem

y′′ +(2x^2 +3)y′ −y =6x, 0≤x ≤1, (4)

y(0) = 1, y(1) = 0.
(a) Rewrite the second-order equation (4) as a system of two first-order equations

involving variables y and z. [2]

(b) Suppose that yn and zn are approximations to y(xn) and z(xn), respectively, where xn = nh, n = 0,...,N and h = 1/N for some positive integer N. Find the iterative formula when using the modified Euler method to approximate (4) with the modified boundary conditions:

y(0) = 1, y′(0) = z0.
(c) Hence, employ the shooting method, with underlying modified Euler method, to

find approximations yn, n = 1, . . . , N to problem (4)-(5), when N = 5. [Hint: Notice that differential equation (4) is linear.]

Compare and contrast the various types of proactive fraud prevention measures an organization could implement to minimize the risk of fraud. Fully describe how each measure might prevent fraudulent activities. Include your recommendation for the most effective measure for a church to implement and include a biblical application to support your recommendation(s).

Between March 2000 and July 2002 the stock market lost almost 3.5 trillion of vaule and yet consumers spending was still high. Why was there no negative wealth effect?

QUESTION 3 (20) Illustrate the concept of Corporate Governance and critically examine the role of the Board of Directors and Risk Management in line with the King II report on Corporate Governance (2002)

Do you think that Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has been a success or do you think that the requirements are not worth the cost? Pease explain in detail

Use Data Set J, U.S. annual Percent Inflation in Prices of Commodities and Services (n=47), on page 536 of your textbook to answer the following questions. Commodities percentage (Commodities %) is the independent, variable and Services percentage (Services%) is the dependent variable. Data are year-to-year percent changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in these two categories. The data file, Inflation, may be found on Canvas under Modules under Chapter 12 Textbook Data Files. Use MINITAB to obtain the simple regression equation, confidence interval, prediction interval, and required graphs. Insert tables and graphs in your report as appropriate. All interpretations should be in terms of the problem (data).

Use Minitab and produce the appropriate output to answer the following questions. Attach the output. Construct a scatter plot. Recalling what scatter plots are used for, write a couple of sentences addressing what you observed from the plot. Be sure to relate your observations to the purpose of using scatter plots in regression. (4 points)
