Respond to the following response.  Explain why you think some visions fail?

Good morning,

Visions fail for several reasons such as being too specific, too complex, too vague, inadequate, irrelevant, blurred, unrealistic, and a rearview mirror. Visions can fail also if the leaders do not do much to implement the vision. When management talks about the vision and how great it is but does not back it up with actions that is when visions will fail. Poor planning can also lead to vision failing. Poor planning can mean several different things such as the visions being unclear, too broad, too specific, lack creativity, or cannot be measured. Visions need to be thought out and specific to the organization or the organization will have trouble implementing the vision.

Visions can also fail when they are too complex, inadequate, or irrelevant to the organization. When visions are too complex, they can be difficult to understand which will make them hard to implement. Visions must be idealistic, realistic, and tangible this would make it easy to incorporate for everyone and allows for all employee to be on the same page about the vision. If visions are inadequate, it does not fully address the problem going on. If visions are irrelevant, then the team will not implement them since they do not relate to the organization.

Programming Question

INSTRUCTIONS
Part of the responsibility of a GIS professional is to understand the strengths and weaknesses of various spatial data structures. This week your readings are focused on spatial storage and indexing in spatial database applications. Next week we will add temporal data consideration for spatial databases in Week 10. This discussion intends to cover the two weeks’ subjects.

Objectives of this Assignment
• Explain examples of spatial indexes built using the spatial databases we have been using in this course
• Understand how geodatabases do and do not make use of R–DBMSs spatial extensions
• Describe how versioning, one manifestation of time, is accomplished in geodatabases
• Discuss how temporal data can be stored in GIS

WHAT TO HAND IN
Deliver your answers to the questions below as per the instructions below into the Week 9 Discussion #4 submission link in Module 4: Spatial Data Optimization and Spatial Access.

1. (2 pts) Answer any two questions in 1–2 short paragraphs (100 words max per paragraph, 200 words max) and include one example with each of your answers, and include a reference (not included in word max), with a URL(s) as appropriate. Your examples and references should be different from any answers posted before yours for the same question, and different from the assigned readings. Besides the Week 9 and Week 10 readings, you might need to further study on your own to find answers, primarily in Esri Help.

  • a. Provide one example case study briefly describing how and why spatial indexes were built in a SQL Server database, OR in an Esri ArcGIS Pro geodatabase.
  • b. In MS SQL Server, compare and contrast the geometry data type and the geography data type. Which of these types is predominantly utilized by Esri ArcGIS Pro? Why? Provide one example.
  • c. Give an example of short– and long–transactions that might be ongoing concurrently on a spatial database in a land–management agency such as a county planning department. Why would long transactions interfere with short transactions and vice versa?
  • d. The Esri geodatabase approach to data versioning supports multi–user editing and long– transactions, which works for vector data; can raster data be versioned? If not, what is the reason for this limitation? What is the workaround for rasters? Provide one example.
  • e. Time stamps, or temporal data, can be stored in either separate fields or in separate tables in a spatial database. In what situation is a table with separate fields more appropriate for storing temporal data? In what situation should separate tables Not be recommended for storing temporal data in a database? Provide one example.

2. (1 pt) Comment at least 2 of your classmates’ posts. For example, you can post an additional link to a reference, answer a question they might have about the topic, post a comment on their interests based on your own experiences, etc. Please be sure to reply to classmates who have not yet received feedback, if possible. (100 words max per comment).

ECA137 – Computer Crime & Investigation

Instructor: Alan Bringardner

 Imaging & Searching Lab

 

 

Objective: The student is supplied with a device image, and they will need to image the image file, validate the image, mount the image file, and examine the image to determine its  contents. The student should identify the file that corresponds with the supplied file  hash and examine the file to determine its contents.

Skills Involved:  Effective Communication (written)

Quantitative Literacy (analysis)

Information Literacy Skills (investigation)

Critical Thinking (decision making)

 

Specific Tasks:   Write Protection

Imaging

Image validation

Malware scanning

File Hashing

Searching

Examination

Documentation

 

Submission: The student should submit a report describing their forensics process and include any necessary screen shots or report to support this and to answer questions related to the scenario.

 

Scenario:  You are employed as a computer forensics specialist with a local police agency. As part  of an investigation into a possible extortion case handled by another investigator, you are given information concerning a suspicious document found that contained the listed text string.  The other investigator believed it was some type of code related to his investigation.  She supplied you with an image of a flash drive recovered in the investigation from the suspect’s businesses computer.

  •  What do you believe this number to be?
  • What evidence if any did you find on the flash drive?

 

Questions:

  1. What was the hash value of the image file you imaged?
  2. What type of value does the number string represent?
  3. What is the source of this value? (What item)
  4. What tool or tools did you use to determine the source of this value? You should use more than one tool to verify your opinion

How will the rate of CO2 production by anaerobic respiration in yeast change depending on different sugar solutions of the same concentrations?

Experimental Lab Report- Fermentation of Different Sugars by Yeast Cells

Group member responsible:
We observed the rate of CO2 production and the temperature at the end of each reaction when each of the four sugars were added to yeast. We also used the thermometer to track the temperature at the end of each reaction to record it in Kelvin to use later.

Our research question is: How will the rate of CO2 production by anaerobic respiration in yeast change depending on different sugar solutions of the same concentrations?

Our hypothesis is: We will compare the respiration efficiency for the different sugars. We think that with the different sugars introduced, “the rate of CO2 production will become more efficient”.
