A slurry is filtered in a plate and frame press containing 12 frames, each 0.3 m square and 25 mm thick. During the first 180 s the pressure difference for filtration is slowly raised to the final value of 400 kN/m2 and, during this period, the rate of filtration is maintained constant. After the initial period, filtration is carried out at constant pressure and the cakes are completely formed in a further 900 s. The cakes are then washed with a pressure difference of 275 kN/m2 for 600 s using thorough washing What is the volume of filtrate collected per cycle and how much wash water is used? A sample of the slurry had previously been tested with a leaf filter of 0.05 m2
2
filtering surface using a vacuum giving a pressure difference of 71.3 kN/m . The volume of filtrate
collected in the first 300 s, was 250 cm3 and, after a further 300 s, an additional 150 cm3 was collected. It may be assumed that the cake is incompressible and that the cloth resistance is the same in the leaf as in the filter press.

In Python:

A hospital administrator wished to study the relation between patient satisfaction and patient’s age (years), severity of illness (an index), and anxiety level (an index). The administrator randomly selected 46 patients and collected the data, where larger values are associated with more satisfaction, increased severity of illness, and more anxiety.

(a) Plot satisfaction against severity of illness for young patients (less than 40 years old). Describe the relationship briefly: direct or inverse; linear or curved; strong, moderate, or weak.

(b) Plot satisfaction against the anxiety level for both young and old patients. Do you think anxiety predicts patients satisfaction? Explain!

Traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when the head undergoes a very large acceleration. Generally, an acceleration less than 800 m/s2 lasting for any length of time will not cause injury, whereas an acceleration greater than 1000 m/s2 lasting for at least 1 ms will cause injury. Suppose a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.39 m above the floor. If the floor is hardwood, the child's head is brought to rest in approximately 1.8 mm. If the floor is carpeted, this stopping distance is increased to about 1.1 cm. Calculate the magnitude and duration of the deceleration in both cases, to determine the risk of injury. Assume the child remains horizontal during the fall to the floor. Note that a more complicated fall could result in a head velocity greater or less than the speed you calculate.

You are the senior human resource professional in a company and part of the senior strategic management team. The company is a service company that operates five teleprofit centers of 300 representatives each in the following Florida cities: Jacksonville, Orlando, Gainesville, Tampa, and Miami. The CEO has asked the senior strategic team to develop a HR plan that will allow the company to grow by two more teleprofit centers, which will be located in Jacksonville, Florida. Considering turnover, length of training, hiring success and learning curve for new employeesdevelop a reasonable “hire ahead” plan, which keeps newly trained employees ready to take the place of employees who leave or are promoted to other positions. The “hire ahead” plan must allow no more than 3% of the employee base in each of the new teleprofit centers to consist of newly trained employees. The following factors should be considered while developing the plan: • There is a human resource budget of $3.5M. • From the HR Budget, $200K will be dedicated for recruiting and selection. • Recruiting costs will increase by 30%, but the HR budget will not increase. • Recruiting will be conducted through Monster, CareerBuilder, Sologig, and in various print publications in the listed cities. • There will be 4500 applications received per month from the recruiting efforts. • Average turnover of the teleprofit representatives in the company is 7% per month. • Average turnover of the teleprofit representatives in Jacksonville is 5% per month. • New representatives receive two weeks of training in the classroom and two weeks of “side-by-side” training before they are on their own. • All trainer positions are exempt. • It takes nine months for a representative to be considered “fully trained”. SELECTION PROCESS Choose as many, or as few, of the following steps to create the selection process that applies best to your plan. All applicants who pass these steps will be hired. o Pre-screening- performed by a human resource assistant (nonexempt position) - cost of $20 per applicant; 95% of applicants prescreened are successful and are passed on to a recruiter. o Interviewing- completed by a recruiter (exempt position) - cost of $70 per applicant; 50% of applicants who are interviewed are successful and are then tested. o Employee testing- administered by a human resource assistant- cost of $30 per applicant; 50% of those tested are successful and will have a drug screening check done. o Drug screening- coordinated by a human resource assistant- cost of $35 per applicant; 95% will have a successful drug screening and then have a background check completed. o Background check- coordinated by a human resource assistant using a third party contracted provider- cost of $25 per applicant; 60% will have a successful background check and will be submitted to a credit check. o Credit check- conducted by a human resource assistant-cost of $35 per applicant; 60% will fail the credit check. ISSUES TO ADDRESS The following list represents a minimum guideline of issues that should be addressed:  How does this current hiring process affect the successful filling of current position vacancies?  What process changes can be made to help your budget concerns?  How many new employees have to be hired each month to meet the objectives of the “hire ahead” plan?  What is happening to the vacancy rate?  What is the vacancy rate?  What can be done to improve your vacancy rate?  What can be done to understand the turnover rate?  What can be done to improve the turnover rate?  How does this scenario affect the bottom line of the company?

I am having trouble answering these 2 questions. What is the vacancy rate? What is happening to the vacancy rate? can u please write 2 detail paragraphs for each question. (Thanks)

As you know, the news is often filled with stories of product or service failures. At first glance, it may be difficult for a marketer to pinpoint the cause of the product's failure. As such, prior to a product launch, it is important for marketers to initiate a situational analysis and a SWOT analysis. Based on your understanding of both of these analytical endeavors, which steps are essential to avoiding a product or service failure in the marketplace? Justify your selections with specific reasons, facts, and examples. In replies to peers, agree or disagree with their assessments and explain why.
