Discuss current or future applications of nanotechnology in fields such as medicine, engineering, space exploration, fuel cell development, air and water purification, and agriculture.

Nanotechnology (also called nanotech) is a branch of materials science that deals with manipulating matter on the atomic scale. It is so called because this field deals with engineering on the scale of a billionth of a meter, also known as a nanometer. Nanotechnology seeks to solve a wide range of problems from the construction of atomic scale machines to changing material properties at the atomic level.

Use the Internet, Argosy University library resources, and your textbook to research the field of nanotechnology.

Write a paper discussing some of the basic scientific and technical concepts of nanotechnology. Do the following in your paper:

  • Discuss current or future applications of nanotechnology in fields such as medicine, engineering, space exploration, fuel cell development, air and water purification, and agriculture.

onducting a z-Test

A researcher predicts that watching a film on institutionalization will change students’ attitudes about chronically mentally ill patients. The researcher randomly selects a class of 36 students, shows them the film, and gives them a questionnaire about their attitudes. The mean score on the questionnaire for these 36 students is 70. The score for people in general on this questionnaire is 75, with a standard deviation of 12. Using the five steps of hypothesis testing and the 5% significance level (i.e. alpha = .05), does showing the film change students’ attitudes towards the chronically mentally ill?

  1. What does it mean to set alpha at .05?
  2. What is your null hypothesis? Alternate hypothesis?
  3. Is this a one-tailed or two-tailed hypothesis?
  4. What is the critical z?
  5. Calculate the obtained z. Do you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
  6. State in words what you have found.

Explain the value of understanding the importance of, and complying with, the other country’s legal system while operating in a foreign country.

f
You are a business consultant to the National Minority Supplier Development Council. An international petroleum products distribution company, based in the U.S., consults with you on cultural diversity matters. It faces some complex choices at its overseas locations.  While equal opportunity, affirmative action, and individual civil rights are the law of the land in the U.S., this frequently is not the case in other countries. Therefore when moral and legal issues run counter to host-country customs, problems are bound to arise.

 

Prepare an executive summary, briefly discussing the following specific topics:

 

  • Should U.S. civil rights laws apply to U.S. companies’ foreign operations? Express your opinion on this issue.
  • Describe a cultural diversity policy for the firm expanding overseas operations. Highlight any differences that might arise in some Middle Eastern countries where a distribution center is currently being built.
  • Explain the value of understanding the importance of, and complying with, the other country’s legal system while operating in a foreign country.
  • Americans tend to believe that the U.S. legal system is better than that of most other countries. Discuss the ramifications of this belief in an overseas, culturally diverse operation.

Create a two-page executive summary in Word. Use at least three resources to justify your responses. Apply current APA standards for writing style to your work.  Include a title page and reference page(s) in addition to the summary.

 

By Monday, October 19, 2015, deliver your assignment.

Define “Indentured Servants”

I already upload the reading pages 3-27. Please answer based on the reading that i gave. The answer per question must be in 1 paragraph.

 

Please respond to the following questions based on the chapter reading:

1. Why did slavery emerged in North America?
2. Define “Indentured Servants”
3. What were some differences between slaves and indentured servants?
4. How did Europeans view Africans?
5. What were the major crops produced by slaves in the Chesapeake colonies and North Carolina?

 

 

I request to remove the answer after i purchased it.

 

Explain circumnavigating the horn of Africa to reach the Indian Ocean is possible, but it is costly, and the journey is a long and arduous one.

You are a European explorer living in the fifteenth century. Think about what that means for empires that are in decline as well as the emergence of ambitious rising powers that aspire to profit from the Silk Road. This situation presents you with an opportunity to amass a fortune, assuming you know enough about the geographic, economic, social, religious and political realities of your times that you can translate this dream into reality. How you go about that task depends on you, your bravery, and your cunning.

For the elites of fifteenth-century Western Europe, the task is a daunting one: they must reopen the Silk Road at all costs. But who is going to sell a feasible plan to potential investors? The Crusades, though far from over, have tapered off, having sustained heavy recent losses. The papacy is preoccupied with scandal and schism. Circumnavigating the horn of Africa to reach the Indian Ocean is possible, but it is costly, and the journey is a long and arduous one. Simply put, there must be a shorter, faster way to get to Asia.

Your job is to write a proposal to a powerful individual or a group of wealthy investors willing to advance vast sums of money to fund your expedition. While your first thoughts may turn to approaching a nobleman or noblewoman, keep in mind that the rise of Venice and other commercial city-states throughout Europe have witnessed the rise of great banking houses and with them, fabulously rich merchant bankers. Whom will you seek as your sponsor? How will you convince your sponsor that your plan will reap profits?

When formulating your proposal, make sure you consider the following questions

  • What will your efforts bring them as rewards?
  • Once you secure financing, what shipwrights and shipyards do you plan to visit?
  • Who in Europe at this time makes the best, most accurate maps?
  • How you recruit your crew?
  • What “prize” will you offer them (e.g., spiritual reward, gold, and/or glory)?
  • When do you plan to set sail?
  • Will part of your journey be over land?
  • Have you secured permission to enter certain realms?

Your initial post should be a minimum of 300 words, due by Day 3. Remember that you are drawing up a proposal. Be persuasive by supplying specific examples drawn from course materials, sources produced by your own research, or sources included in the collaborative annotated bibliography to support your position

Answer

Discuss employees from the headquarters in New York to the Atlanta office.

Suppose you work as a human resource (HR) executive at Total Solutions, Inc., a culturally and geographically diverse organization. A recent government study on human statistics indicates that colleagues who share culturally similar backgrounds perform more efficiently and effectively on the job. These study findings, however, appear contrary to the basic research on the value of diverse workforces. John, the vice president of HR has read extensively about this study. He meets with senior management to discuss if the concept can be implemented at Total Solutions, Inc. The senior management reviews the study and decides to execute the process in one office before a policy decision is made.

 

John decides that the process should be piloted in the new HR office being set up in Atlanta. He receives the board’s permission to apply the concept in the new office. He needs to relocate five employees from the headquarters in New York to the Atlanta office. John obtains the list of employees based in the New York office. The list has a brief profile of the employees. John asks you to help him analyze the profiles and present your recommendations as to who are the best five employees for the Atlanta assignment.

 

Present your analysis to John in the form of a two- to three page report in Microsoft Word following APA format. Make sure you provide a clear recommendation of which five employees should be selected for the Atlanta assignment and that you apply the basic concepts of diversity in your selection process.  Provide rationale for your selection based on your examination of the evidence and references to at least three authoritative sources from the Argosy library or the Internet.
