Middle adulthood is difficult to define in terms of generalities, since there are so many variations in attitudes and behaviors leading up to this point. Most individuals who reach Middle Adulthood have made consistent lifestyle choices in their early adult years that have dictated their current state of being and if negative (smoking, drinking, over-eating, lack of exercise, etc…) often feel as if they don’t have much freedom to significantly change their lives. It usually takes a major health issue to make the decision for them to change. Similarly, most individuals at this stage of development are also settled in their chosen careers and are thinking about their retirement, or working in a different field and at a slower pace.

Your assignment: provide me with an overview of what usually happens in someone's vision to the majority of individuals during Middle Adulthood. In your overview please describe what happens and what are some of the early lifestyle choices that people can make to prevent negative issues from taking place.

3. If you collect too much information for analyzing a decision, you can suffer from analysis paralysis, where you spend too much time thinking about a decision rather than making one. Recall a major financial decision you made recently, such as a car or housing purchase or rental. Describe your process for making the decision. How could analysis paralysis have affected this process?

4. Decision support tools rely on objective, mathematical data. What part do ethics play in using decision support software?

You are a new associate at the law firm of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe, a high powered law firm in the State of Maryland. On your first day, your boss comes in to discuss the firms newest client with you. Her name is Ellen Green, the parent of Sammy Green, age 11. Ellen is a single mother, but her ex-husband, Joe, shares custody of and has visitation with Sammy on alternate weekends.

Sammy played soccer for a recreational team located in Columbia, MD, the Eagles, which were coached by Ken Russell. Sammy was incurred during a regularly scheduled Saturday afternoon game against the Vultures, another recreational team. The Vultures were coached by Leonard Smith. The game was referred by Jim James. Both teams are part of a league run by the nationally recognized "Soccer Comes First, Inc" company, who's offices are located in New York, NY. The games were played on fields owned by the organization in the state of Maryland. All coaches and referees are employees of the organization. Ellen was not present for the game as it was a weekend when Joe had Visitation.

The league has rules for the conduct of games. One rule gives the referee the authority to decide whether a game should be cancelled for weather conditions. It had rained and sleeted steadily on the day of the game and several parents of players from both teams asked James to cancel the game. Neither of the coaches nor Joe Green expressed any objections to playing the game. This was the last game of the season and would decide who would be in first place. James did not postpone the game, although a referee for an earlier game on the same field had canceled a game between two other teams in the same league.

The two teams were evenly matched, and the game was a close one. In the second half, there were two incidents were the players slipped and fell on a wet and icy patch of ground near the Vultures' goal. One player was not hurt, the other twisted his ankle. In the last minute of the game, Sammy slipped and fell in the same area. Before he could get up, Andy Olsen, a player for the Vultures, also fell and slid into Sammy, kicking him in the head. Sammy suffered a severe injury to his skull and upper spine which required extensive surgery and rehabilitation.

Ms. Green would like for the firm to look at the following issues:

1. Who, if anyone, can be sued, for what, and how could these claims be proven?

2. Is the fact that Ellen owns 10% of "Soccer Comes First, Inc" matter in any way?

The senior partner reminds you that Ms. Green is a very particular individual and expects the firm to provide support for their recommendations.

(a) Explain why XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) techniques are suitable in examining the unit cells and crystal structures of solids. (b) Calculate the expected diffraction angle (θ) for the first order reflection from the (310) planes of BCC chromium (Cr) when a monochromatic X-ray radiation of wavelength (λ) 0.757 Ao is used.

1. Decision support tools are widely used in the business world and are becoming increasingly complex and specialized. What do you think are the dangers of developing and using sophisticated decision support tools?
2. What are the advantages of using mathematical decision tools such as decision trees and weighted factors?
3. Suppose that you are about to make a major decision, such as returning to school full time (or ending your academic career to work full time). How could you use a tool discussed in this Part to help you as you make your decision?

6. List and explain the worst-case and average-case running times for each LinkedList method below:
(a) insert(iterator here, Object item)

(b) insertAtHead

(c) insertAtTail (aka push back)

(d) get(iterator here)

(e) get(index i)

(f) remove(iterator here)

(g) remove(index i)

(h) splice(iterator place here, iterator from here, iterator to here)

7. When should you use a Vector, and when should you use a Linked List?

1. You are considering three independent projects: A, B, and C. Given the following free cash flow information, calculate the payback period for each. Required rate of return is 9%. (1 Mark)

If you require a 3-year payback before an investment can be accepted, which project(s) would be accepted? (0.5 Mark)

Kirk is a bright individual who is being groomed for the Controller’s position in a medium-sized manufacturing firm. After his first year as Assistant Controller, the officers of the firm were starting to include him in major company functions. For instance, today he was attending the monthly financial statement summary given at a prestigious consulting firm. During the meeting, Kirk was intrigued at how all the financial data he had been accumulating was transformed by the consultant into revealing charts and graphs. Kirk was generally optimistic about the session and the company’s future until the consultant started talking about the new manufacturing plant the company was adding to the current location and the costs per unit of the chemically plated products it produced. At that time, Bob (the President) and John (the chemical engineer) started talking about waste treatment and disposal problems. John mentioned that the current waste facilities were not adequate to handle the waste products that would be created by the “ultramodern” new plant in a manner that would meet the industry's fairly high standards, although they could still comply with federal standards. Kirk’s boss, Henry, noted that the estimated cost per unit would be increased if the waste treatment facilities were upgraded according to recent industry standards. While industry standards are presently more stringent than federal regulations, environmentalists are strongly pressuring for more stringent regulations at the federal level. Bob mentioned that since their closest competitor did not have the waste treatment facilities that already existed at their firm, he was not in favor of further expenditure in this area. Most managers at this meeting resoundingly agreed with Bob, and business continued on to another topic. Kirk did not hear a word during the rest of the meeting. He kept wondering how the company could possibly have such a casual attitude toward the environment. Yet he did not know if, how, or when he could share his opinion. Soon he started reflecting on whether this was the right firm for him. What should Kirk do? Putting Corporate Responsibility first, but recognizing the politics at play, what is the most ethical thing to do? The most practical? What strategy would you suggest to Kirk if he came to you for advice?

A proton is trapped in an infinitely deep square well of width L = 5 × 10^-6 nm. This is approximately the size of an atomic nucleus. (It depends on atomic weight.) The proton's mc² = 9.3827 × 10⁸ eV. Note: Atomic nuclei are really spheres. For simplicity, we are treating them as 1-D square wells, which yields the correct order of magnitude result.

1) What is the ground state energy of the proton in this well in eV? E₁ =

2) If the proton is in an excited state, it can fall to a lower energy state and emit a photon (just like an electron does). Suppose the photon's energy is 4.0959 × 10⁷ eV.

Note: This photon is a gamma ray, common in nuclear transitions. What was the proton's initial energy level (i.e., the n value)? n =

3) Suppose an electron were trapped in this well (infinitely deep, with the same width, L). What is the electron's ground state energy in this well in eV? E₁ =
