Peter was born after an uneventful pregnancy and weighed 3.1kg. At 3 months, he developed otitis media and an upper respiratory tract infection. At the ages of 5 months and 11 months, he was admitted to hospital with Haemophilus influenzae pneumonia. The infections responded promptly to the appropriate antibiotics on each occasion. When 16 months old, he developed balanitis. He is the fourth child of unrelated parents: his three sisters show no predisposition to infection.
Examination at the age of 18 months showed a pale, thin child whose height and weight were below the third centile. There were no other abnormal features. He had been fully immunized as an infant (at 2, 3 and 4 months) with tetanus and diphtheria toxoids, whole-cell pertussis, Haemophilus conjugate vaccine and oral polio. In addition he had received measles, mumps and rubella vaccine at 12 months. All immunizations were uneventful.
Immunological investigations (Table C3.1) into the cause of his recurrent infections showed severe panhypogammaglobulinemia with absent antibody production. Although there was no family history of hypogammaglobulinemia, the absence of mature B lymphocytes in his peripheral blood strongly supported a diagnosis of ________________________________?????. His antibody deficiency was treated by 2-weekly intravenous infusions of human normal IgG in a dose of 400mg/kg body weight/month. Over the following 2 years, his health steadily improved: his weight and height are now on the 10th centile, and he has had only one episode of otitis media in the last 18 months.

Question: Class Diagram – Make a class diagram for 'Patient Appointment' showing attributes and operations / methods. Associations are optional.
References from earlier questions/instructions from the project:
1) Use Case Tables – Consider the Mentcare system for which we considered requirements in the previous module. Make 2 use case tables for this system (table examples may be found in the textbook, section 5.2, and in the content guides). Be sure to consider who the actors would be in each case (not all actors are human).
a) ‘View Patient Medical Record’
b) ‘View Patient Personal Information’
Please make Diagrams for Questions 2 - 5.
Note: Make a simple sketch with labeling. You do not need fancy software – PowerPoint will work or other office software. An image of a NEAT hand sketch is also acceptable. Visio or other software may be used, but your diagram should be inserted as an image into a document, so that the instructor can easily view the diagram without having special software.
2) Sequence Diagram – Referring to 1a above, make a sequence diagram for accessing and viewing a patient medical record.

Project Instructions
This project is a role-play exercise based on the Mentcare case study introduced in Chapter 1 of the Sommerville textbook and discussed further in Chapter 4 (additional material available through the Course Resources page). You will be assigned to a role along with several other students. Following is the scenario description.
Assumption: A company plans to design and develop a new software system, which is very much like the Mentcare case study from your textbook. To determine a full and robust set of software systems requirements, various stakeholders will be brought in for a series of meetings to discuss specific needs that should be reflected in the software system requirements.
We will form four teams, each of which will represent a different stakeholder group for the new medical records software system. Members of each team will confer with each other to define what activities they need to perform that will use the new data system, and determine those overall system requirements which are uniquely critical to the team’s viewpoint, and must be brought forth to the software system designers during the meetings.
The Teams:

Scenario: You are the Chief Executive Officer [CEO] of a health services organization. This organization has inpatient and outpatient facilities, home healthcare services, and other services that meet your patient population’s needs. It also has a world-renowned AIDS treatment center. The organization has always enjoyed an excellent reputation and its quality of care is known to be excellent. Unfortunately, your organization has recently been featured in every media vehicle known to man. The reason: Someone downloaded the names of 4,000 HIV+ patients seen in your HIV clinic and posted the list on the Internet. The Board of Trustees is furious and wants to fire you. You have been able to convince them that they need to keep you as CEO to fix this major crisis. You hire a computer security consultant who comes into your organization, disguised as a nurse manager. After three days, she comes to you with the following report.
• Nurses log in to the computer system with their passwords and then walk away, leaving the system open and running.
• Dr. Jones leaves his password taped to his PC on a piece of paper.
• Fax machines and printers are in open rooms without locks.
• One password can access the entire database in the hospital including human resources.
• There are no programs reminding staff to change their passwords on a regular basis.
• She pretended to forget her password and other nurses gave her their password.
• She requested sensitive patient files and staff provided her with the files without question

Design a role-based access control system. Thank you. Will leave a great rating
A course registration system is a computer system used by the university's administration to plan courses, for students to register for courses, and for faculty to grade them.
Students and faculty can only enroll or teach a class if they have been recorded in the registration system. Students are entered into the system by and Admissions representatives; faculty members by a Human Resources employee. For all persons, their university ID number, last name, first name, date of birth, and username is recorded. Usernames must be unique (no username may be allocated to more than one person at a time).
Before students can enroll for a course, the course needs to be created. Each course is identified by a course number (up to 7 characters), a course name, credits awarded, and a cap. The cap represents the largest number of students that should be enrolled in the course, and must be greater than zero. Courses are created by faculty.
When the university's administration decides to offer a course, a department chair create a course section. Department chairs are faculty members who have been given additional duties. The course section always refers to a single course, and has a course section identifier (3 characters) and a term in which it is offered. The faculty member who is assigned to teach the course is also recorded with the section.
When students start enrolling for a course, they must search for available sections and choose one. Students may only register once for each course in a given term, but if a course is offered in multiple section, the system must be able to track which students are enrolled in each section.
Faculty can grade courses. Each student can only receive one grade for each term in which they take a course. When grades are recorded, the registration system must record who issued the grade, and when it was issued. The database must enforce that only valid grades can be assigned. Valid grades include F (fail), D- through A+, and I (incomplete).
The Registrar's Office can create transcripts of grades. Faculty advisers can inspect transcripts and enrollments for student advising.
Assignment

Kelly needs a lot of sleep these days- about 9-10 hours per
night, especially on the weekends! Most of the time however, she
doesn’t get enough sleep during the week because she’s up late
studying. She is spending more time with her friends and not as
much time with her parents and her mom is feeling frustrated with
this change. Kelly is also very concerned about what others think
of her and always worries that they are watching her and that she
is the center of attention everywhere she goes.
Joshua just learned how to walk! His parents watched in
amazement as he learned to lift his head, then chest, then the rest
of his body. He was a determined crawler and is a curious boy,
playing with toys and putting them in his mouth. Now he is more
interested in whatever his dad is doing, turning nobs on his dad’s
stereo as his father does.

Our award-winning folding carton structural designers, working with the latest technologies, bring you innovative paperboard folding carton structures - alternatives that can address your unique goals and take your product packaging to the next level. Whether you know exactly how you want your folding carton structure to look, or you need a partner to generate unique concepts - we're with you. Our structural designers focus first on understanding the unique qualities of your product. Then they produce innovative structural concepts that help communicate value to the customers you are trying to reach. To help you evaluate new structural designs for folding cartons, the company is considering acquisition of new IntriCut® to expand its production capacity.
The cost of IntriCut® is $ 2.75 million. Unfortunately, installing this machine will take several months and will partially disrupt production. The firm has just completed a $ 50,000 feasibility study to analyze the decision to buy the IntriCut, resulting in the following estimates:
Marketing: Once the IntriCut is operational next year, the extra capacity is expected to generate $10 million per year in additional sales, which will continue for the 10-year life of the machine.
Operations: The disruption caused by the installation will decrease sales by $ 5 million this year. As with APC's existing products, the cost of goods for the products produced by the IntriCut is expected to be 70% of their sale price. The increased production will also require increased inventory on hand of $1 million during the life of the project, including year 0.
Human Resources: The expansion will require additional sales and administrative personnel at a cost of $ 2 million per year.
Accounting: The IntriCut will be depreciated via the straight-line method over the 10-year life of the machine. The firm expects receivables from the new sales to be 15 % of revenues and payables to be 10 % of the cost of goods sold. APC's marginal corporate tax rate is 35%.
a. Determine the incremental earnings from the purchase of the IntriCut.
b. Determine the free cash flow from the purchase of the IntriCut.
c. If the appropriate cost of capital for the expansion is 10 %, compute the NPV of the purchase.
d. While the expected new sales will be $ 10. million per year from the expansion, estimates range from $ 8.0 million to $ 12.0 million. What is the NPV in the worst case? In the best case?

Program #3
● Filename: pig.py
For this assignment, you’ll implement a dice game called PIG, pitting two human players against each other. PIG is played with a standard six-sided die and proceeds as follows:
● Each player starts with zero points, and the first to 20 points wins.
● The current player chooses to roll or hold.
● If they choose roll:
○ The six-sided die is rolled
○ The value of the die is added to their round points.
○ The player goes again UNLESS...
○ ...If the value on the die is 1, then the round is over and the player has lost all the points they
accumulated in the round.
● If they choose hold:
○ The points accumulated in the round are added to the player’s overall score.
○ The round is over.
● When the round ends (either because the player rolled a 1 or they chose to hold), it becomes the other
player’s turn unless somebody has won.
● We check to see if someone won at the end of each round (which is kind of unfair, because if Player
One gets 20 points on the first round, then Player Two never gets a chance, but oh well tough for them).
Requirements:
● Prompt each player to either R (roll) or H (hold).
● If they enter anything else, continue prompting them until they enter a correct input.
● On a roll, randomly generate a value 1-6 to represent the die.
● End the round when the die roll is value 1 (round points are lost), or the player chooses Hold (round
points are added to that player’s overall score).
● End the game one either player has 20 or more points and announce the winner.
● Report everything as you go along -- what the die roll was, number of points so far, etc.
● As always with your CS5001 programs, your input/output must be friendly and informative.
Helpful hints
Python has a random module that can help you generate random numbers. You probably want to import random for this part of the assignment and call randint(...)
import random # near the top of your file random.randint(1, 6) # or something like this in your program
AMAZING points:
● Allow them to enter upper or lowercase letters. R/r for roll, and H/h for hold.
● Make your code extensible enough that we could add an arbitrary number of players with minimal
coding-pain. (Consider using a list to store the player names and another list for the number of points each player has.)
