Please read case and answer the questions thank you.

As B2B e-commerce continues to grow, companies are placing more emphasis on upgrading their e-commerce infrastructure, taking many cues from B2C companies in the process. Streamlining their online stores and ensuring that potential customers can make purchases across a variety of channels has become just as important for B2B companies as it is for B2C companies. B2B e-commerce accounted for $6.7 trillion of the total $14.6 trillion in B2B trade in 2016, and that B2B e-commerce is expected to increase to around $9 trillion by 2020. For B2B e-commerce companies, there’s a lot at stake.Sana Commerce is a B2B e-commerce software company founded in 2008 and headquartered in the Netherlands. Sana provides B2B enterprise multichannel e-commerce, which is integrated with ERP systems. This means that Sana allows its clients to initiate transactions from physical stores, online stores, mobile app stores, telephone sales, or any other method. A number of companies offer these types of services, but Sana is unique in that it integrates within already installed enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Sana Commerce allows businesses to achieve better customer service, higher sales efficiency, and increased revenue. It’s compatible with many major ERP systems, including most versions of Microsoft Dynamics and SAP systems, and its Webshop is installed within that system, as opposed to functioning separately and interfacing with that system externally. This ensures that companies using Sana don’t have to make large investments in new ERP systems. Sana uses the pre-existing ERP’s business logic and information rather than forcing a complicated integration.This feature of Sana Commerce appeals to many companies, including Mechan Groep, distributor of agricultural machinery, wholesale goods, and aftersales supplies. Mechan Groep is based in Achterveld, Netherlands, employs 180 people, with clients in both the Netherlands and Belgium. The company earns 180 million euro per year, according to Mechan Groep CFO Rene Schwiete, who is featured in the video.Mechan Groep’s aftersales department uses Sana to better serve the needs of its dealers. Mechan Groep implemented Sana because of its preexisting use of SAP ERP software, and Sana’s Webshop worked within its larger SAP systems flawlessly. There are 105 dealers in Mechan Groep’s network. These dealers use Sana’s Webshop to access Mechan Groep supplies. Dealers can view inventory on a daily basis and select the urgency with which they need supplies. Mechan Groep’s custom Webshop offers over 700,000 items to Mechan Groep’s dealers.

A state is divided into R*C cities.The government has launched an initiative to find the cities which are dominated by coders. Each city may or may not have coders residing in it. If the city is dominated by coders, it is marked with 1 else it is marked with 0. Two cities are termed as connected cities if they both are dominated by coders and can be reached by moving vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

Example:

The given is the state with 3*3 cities and their dominance representation.

City[1, 1] is directly connected to City[1, 2].

City[1, 2] is directly connected to City[1, 1], City[1, 3] and City[2, 3].

City[1, 3] is directly connected to City[1, 2] and City[2, 3].

City[2, 3] is directly connected to City[1, 2] and City[1, 3].

City[3, 1] is not connected to any of the other coder dominant cities.

One or more coder dominant connected cities form the Coding belt. In a belt, there may be coder dominant cities which are not directly connected but can be reached by moving through other dominant cities. It is possible that there are multiple coding belts in the state.

Example:

The given is the state with 3*3 cities and their dominance representation.

For the given example, there are two coding belts. C1 represents Coding Belt 1 and C2 represents Coding Belt 2.

The government wants to find the number of coder dominant cities in the largest coding belt.

The government will give you the credits in the initiative. Can you help the government?

Note: For the given example, there are 4 coder dominant cities in the largest coding belt.

Until recently, many philosophers and psychologists thought that unconscious emotions are impossible. It was believed that the essence of an emotion is to be felt. However, if we are not aware of something it cannot be felt. Hence, it was concluded that we must be conscious of our emotions.

For this research project your job is to find empirical evidence supporting the existence of unconscious emotions. Your data should be distinct from anything you read in A General Theory of Love. You can find your data online, just be sure to cite your source. Once you have the data, explain why it supports the existence of unconscious emotions. In your write up, make sure to address the skeptic, that is, someone who believes there cannot be unconscious emotions.

Randomly generate 0, 1, or 2 in a 100 by 100 2d array.
For each entry in the 2d array, count the number of 0’s and 1’s in the surrounding entries.
Save the result in two 2d arrays: one for the number of 0’s, one for the number of 1’s.
For example:
0   0   1
2   1   0
0   0   0

The number of 0’s for a[0][0] is 1; the number of 1’s for a[0][0] is 1;
The number of 0’s for a[0][1] is 2; the number of 1’s for a[0][1] is 2;
The number of 0’s for a[0][2] is 2; the number of 1’s for a[0][2] is 1;
The number of 0’s for a[1][0] is 4; the number of 1’s for a[1][0] is 1;
The number of 0’s for a[1][1] is 6; the number of 1’s for a[1][1] is 1;
The number of 0’s for a[1][2] is 3; the number of 1’s for a[1][2] is 2;
The number of 0’s for a[2][0] is 1; the number of 1’s for a[2][0] is 1;
The number of 0’s for a[2][1] is 3; the number of 1’s for a[2][1] is 1;
The number of 0’s for a[2][2] is 2; the number of 1’s for a[2][2] is 1;

3.1 Bratko states that iterative deepening combines the best properties of breadth-first search and depth-first search and is therefore, in practice, often the best choice
amongst the basic search methods. Discuss this statement.

3.2 Discuss the concept of the ‘locality’ of the effects of actions in the context of planning problems.

Declare two 2d arrays n0[MAX_ROW][MAX_COL], n1 [MAX_ROW][MAX_COL].
Then, loop through the 2d array and save the results in n0 and n1:

for (i=0; i<MAX_ROW; i++)
  for (j=0; j<MAX_COL;j++){
       //calculate number of zeros around entry a[i][j]
       n0[i][j] =
       //calculate number of ones around entry a[i][j]
       n1[i][j] =
  }

Set the MAX_ROW and MAX_COL to a small number and display all three 2d arrays on the screen to verify that the calculations are correct. You may still use command-line inputs as in the example program to set the actual size of the array (must be less than or equal to MAX_ROW, MAX_COL.

You are going to begin the process of data gathering. There are three types of data you will be gathering – Administrative, Technical and Physical. For this assignment, you will be gathering your administrative data. This data will be created by you for your fictitious company. You may use as many resources as you need in order to develop this data. The Internet, data from real companies, and data you just make up on your own may be used. Areas of data that need to be gathered are as follows:

• Human Resources
  • Recruitment – steps for hiring new employees
  • Employment – policies and procedures employees must follow
  • Termination – steps for terminating employees
• Organizational Structure
  • Senior Management – how is the senior management structured
  • Security Program – how is this structured. What are the components and policies and procedures
  • Security Operations – what are the policies and procedures and how is this structured
  • Audit – how are these performed and how often
• Information Control
  • User Accounts – what is the process for creating and managing them
  • User Error – how is this tracked and what happens in the event of user error
  • Asset Control – how are assets protected, assigned value and monitored
  • Sensitive Information – what sensitive information exists, how is it protected and what are the policies and procedures
• Business Continuity
  • Contingency Planning – do they have it and how is it managed
  • Incident Response Program – do they have it and how is it managed
• System Security
  • System Controls – what are they and do they need to be improved
  • Application Security – what is in place and is it effective
  • Configuration Management – what do they have in place, what are the policies and procedures and how often is it updated
  • Third Party Access – who has access to any of the assets and how is it controlled

All of the above information will be documented in the risk assessment. In some cases it will be tested and questions to appropriate personnel will be asked.

URGENT QUESTION!!! Please answer this question with detailed explanation. Thank you.

A solution is made by mixing 100mL of 0.1 M HCl with 100 mL of 0.1 M NH₃ at 25C (degrees celcius). What is the pH of the final solution? (K_b for NH₃ = 1.8 x 10^-5)

1. Review the biological factors involved in the regulation of hunger. Make sure you discuss what areas of the brain may be involved with hunger and what blood chemicals are involved.

Select three US companies that are publicly traded using your knowledge and experience and make sure you are practicing good diversification. Jim Cramer, Money Manager, on CNBC, plays a game at the end of his show called "Am I Diversified." Check out the short clip, Am I Diversified - Mad Money [Video], to get a sense of industry diversification.

Ideas for Sources of Information: There are many ways to find such companies and the stock prices, including the New York Stock Exchange, Google Finance, NASDAQ, andYahoo! Finance.

Describe how you will divide $25,000 across the three companies (e.g. $10,000 in Company 1, $10,000 in Company 2, and $5,000 in Company 3).

You decide the amount you are investing in each company. You do not have to provide any analysis to justify your decisions.

Provide a reason for picking each company.

For example, you might invest in Ford because that company gets a lot of your money and you hear that Ford is doing well, and will continue to do well.

Identify the number of shares you are buying, and the price of the shares you are buying for each company.

Once you decide the companies and the amount for each company, determine how many shares you can buy. For example, if Company 1 is selling for $42.16, then you may buy $10,000/$42.16, or 237.19 shares. But you cannot buy a part of a share, so you decide to buy either 237 or 238. In this example, you buy 237 shares at $42.16 per share, investing $9,991.92. You won’t be able to buy exactly $10,000, or $5,000, or $25,000, but it will be relatively close.
