Analyze Energy Sources Lab

Everything people do in their daily lives involves the consumption of resources—particularly energy. With respect to energy, electricity is one of the most important resources consumed and also one of the highest in demand. Traditionally, fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil have dominated the U.S. energy mix; however, as it is well-known, carbon-emitting energy sources are very detrimental to the environment and are contributing to global warming. Fortunately, alternative energy resources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are becoming more efficient and prevalent in today’s energy economy.

Using the M.U.S.E. link, review the background information and gather your data.

Review this video for a detailed overview of this assignment: https://breeze.careeredonline.com/pa30gmoj8hh1/?la… . Then you will use the Lab 4 worksheet for assignment instructions and data collection. Be certain to compete both Part 1 and Part 2 of the worksheet.

The construction of evidence-based health care facilities includes careful planning and layout as well as considerations for the health of the population to be served. Evidence-based health care facilities planning also needs input from a cross-functional team of informed stakeholders and the integration of best-practices in modern design and regulatory requirements.

This week you will focus on your facility’s structure and the areas contained within it. Next week you will add assets to your facility.

Open SmartDraw® on Toolwire® and select the appropriate floor plan you selected in the Week Two Facility Selection and Research assignment. You will be responsible for adding environmental design elements each week. Your final floor plan is due in Week Five.

Add the following to your SmartDraw® facility.

  • Facility Structure:
    • Walls
    • Doors
    • Hallways
    • Waiting areas
    • Other related structural components
  • Facility Areas:
    • Customer service and amenities
      • Reception desk, bathroom, shower, vending machine, etc.
    • Patient consultation areas
    • Clinical support areas
      • Nurses’ station, charting areas, etc.
    • Administrative offices
    • Building support
      • Laundry, generator facilities, housekeeping, etc.
    • Diagnostic and treatment space equipment and location

The two questions focus on writing a description of each phenomena, aided by the features visible in a chosen image.

The following locations (name and latitude, longitude) may be helpful in answering the first question:

  • Ipanema beach in Rio de Janeiro (22° 59′ S, 43° 13′ W) – image shown as Example 1 below.
  • South coast of Trinidad (from about 10° 04′ N, 61° 39′ 20″ W to about 10° 05′ N, 61° 49′ 22″ W)

Similarly, the following locations may be helpful in answering the second question:

  • Shingle Island in the Laccadive Sea (9° 15′ 00″ N, 79° 14′ 00″ E) – observed in the 8/8/2010 image shown as Example 2 below.
  • Off the coast of Venezuela (10° 55′ 54″ N, 68° 15′ 42″ W) – observed in the 4/2006 image

Example 1: Wave refraction at Ipanema beach in Rio de Janeiro

Question 1 5 pts

Explain the process of wave refraction along coastlines making explicit use of images from Google Earth to illustrate your answer.

A strong answer will designate locations according to latitude & longitude in Google Earth that provide visual complements for the explanation of wave refraction. Specific reference will be made to aspects of the features in the image(s) – e.g. apparent bending of waves in shallow water – that exemplify the process.

Examples of wave refraction include:

  • Ipanema beach in Rio de Janeiro (22° 59′ S, 43° 13′ W) – shown below.
  • South coast of Trinidad (from about 10° 04′ N, 61° 39′ 20″ W to about 10° 05′ N, 61° 49′ 22″ W)

2)In this scenario, hackers launch cyber attacks that affect several parts of the nation’s financial infrastructure over the course of several weeks. Specifically, sensitive credit card processing facilities are hacked and numbers are released to the Internet, causing 120 million cards to be canceled; automated teller machines (ATMs) fail nearly simultaneously across the nation; major companies report payroll checks are not being received by workers; and several large pension and mutual fund companies have computer malfunctions so severe that they are unable to operate for more than a week. Identify the countermeasures that need to be implemented to prevent these cyber attacks from occurring in the future.

Start a discussion thread and discuss what type(s) of countermeasures need to be implemented to prevent the cyber attack described above from occurring in the future. Be specific in recommending countermeasures for this scenario.

You must do this following:

1) Create a new thread. As indicated above, discuss what type(s) of countermeasures need to be implemented to prevent the cyber attack described above from occurring in the future. Be specific in recommending countermeasures for this scenario.

Assignment 3: Biotechnology Applications

Biotechnology refers to the technical applications of living organisms or their functions. These applications may be used in engineering, medicine, or agriculture, to name a few. Biotechnology processes and procedures are varied and range from the domestication of animals to genetic engineering. At its core, biotechnology involves the modification of a biological process for a human defined purpose.

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

Write a paper which includes the following:

  • Evaluate current or future applications of biotechnology in the fields of medicine or agriculture.
  • Provide at least three real-world examples of current or future applications of biotechnology in either of these fields. Present a minimum of three reliable references.

Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3.doc.
