Plant & Natural Based Synthesis

Plant & Natural Based Synthesis

Many medicinal drugs come from natural resources such as plants, insects, corals, etc. One typical example is the synthesis of the commonly known as Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) derived from salicin the natural product isolated from the bark of the willow tree Salix alba L.

In this post you are required to:

PART A

Use Google Scholar to search for publications related to the topic. You can use either Plant based synthesis or Natural products Synthesis to start your search.

Select a paper that is related to the Synthesis of a Natural product.
Take some time reading the information provided and Indicate the name of the natural compound the natural resource for and the medicinal uses of the compound.

All-Music Business Model

By Academic Wizard Blog

All-Music Business Model

Dear students,

This is your second assignment for this course that accounts for 50% of your total marks

for the course.

All-Music has decided that the business model they adopted previously would not be

sustainable in the long term. They have concluded that managing a growing amount of

user generated content on their website would be very complicated with their small

team. All-Music’s new business will be a reviewing site that will publish online reviews

of music, movies, and video games. All-Music has already hired a small staff of internal

writers to manage and publish content and will occasionally hire guest writers to

contribute and post reviews on their website.

Your task as a Web Developer is to

configure and set-up the WordPress CMS environment that All-Music will be using.

The website will be renamed to all-reviews.com, you will develop it locally and you

will be given sample content to fill up the pages you create, but it is up to you to decide

the best way to structure and style the website.

All-Music Business Model

Below are the main requirements;

A home page with a top/side navigation bar linking to all other pages of the site,
The following pages should be accessible site wide: home contact us movie,

reviews music reviews video game reviews

Each review should include a star rating at the end (e.g. 1-5 stars),
Each review should have a picture (provided) with a click-able link that opens,

in a new tab

Sensible tagging of categories on pages
Install and enable an SEO plug-in that supports metadata and keywords (add

tags to pages accordingly)

Install and enable your choice of a free security plug-in,
Minimum 5 users with various roles and permissions (at least 1 admin with full

permissions and 1 with limited permissions)

Create either a guest login account or allow a guest to register an account with,

post only privileges

Chose/install a free theme and adjust its default styling settings (you must

maintain a consistent site wide styling)

Post a review with the guest or registered user
A search bar accessible site wide

All-Music Business Model

Other requirements

UU-MBA-740-ZM Web Design and Development

Please add in line-comments to any HTML, JavaScript, PHP or CSS files you

have manually edited

Deliverables

Your work will be assessed according to how well you have met or attempted to meet

the above requirements. Try and focus on the usability and functionality of the website

before visual design.

You will need to submit the following:

A site map/diagram detailing how you decided to organize your pages (PDF or

JPEG)

The full contents of your WordPress site including your MYSQL database (see

Exporting WordPress database and files (Guide) for instructions)

A PDF document with user names and passwords

All-Music Business Model

*Please download the file mba_740_sam.zip and unzip its contents (Assignment 2

Toggle). You can use the text and images in the documents to populate your website

with content

Notes:

The assignment is your own individual work. I expect all sent assignments to

be very different from one another even if they are based on the same topic.

The deadline is the end of week 7.
This is worth 50% of your mark

Quantitative Reasoning Skills

By Academic Wizard Blog

In this assignment, your Quantitative Reasoning Skills will be assessed. The Quantitative Reasoning rubric will be useful for this purpose. In MGT511 quantitative reasoning skills were assessed at the “introduced” level. In HRM520 they were assessed at the “reinforced” level. Finally, in this course your skills will be assessed at the “emphasized” level.

The math that we learned in high school and perhaps relearned in college has applications in nearly all fields including human resource management. In this case assignment we will look at something as simple as straight lines, as in linear equations.

Straight lines play an important role in a wide variety of applications, in many fields including business.

An equation with two variables is a linear equation. Many relationships are linear or almost linear, so that they can be approximated by linear equations.

If you need a refresher on solving equations, watch the Khan Academy, level 2 video retrieved from https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra-home/alg-basic-eq-ineq/alg-old-school-equations/v/algebra-linear-equations-2

Quantitative Reasoning Skills

Example:

The following linear equation is useful to make a future projection:

In 1970, there were 37,000 shopping malls in the United States.

Even with the growth of online shopping, in 2017 there were 116,000 shopping malls.

If this growth continues, how many shopping malls will there be in 2030?

Let’s use two variables:

y = number of shopping centers

x = number of years after 1970

So, to put this in an equation:

y = 116,000-37,000×1970-2017 +37,000

79,00047 = 1,681

So, the linear equation is y = 1681x + 37,000

Now, assuming that this equation remains valid in the future, we can predict how many shopping malls there will be in 2030:

There are 60 years between 1970 and 2030.

y = 1681(60) + 37,000

y = 100,860 + 37,000 or 137,860 shopping malls in 2030.

This example probably reminds you that there might be other factors going on that will not make this equation valid in the future. But, for our purposes, it shows if all things stay the same, we can make future predictions.

There are many different examples of ways linear equations are used in real life—for example, distance traveled by a bus compared with distance traveled by a bicycle. Which one will get to work on time? Or, production rates—will employees who are slow producers make as many products over time as employees who are only speedy during the first part of the shift? This type of linear application can also be applied, of course, to pricing, dimensions, and mixing raw products. For example, if we have two semi-trucks of products moving toward each other at different speeds to reach the same point, which one will reach the dock sooner? Another example is estimating how much a box of 60 safety glasses on sale for $120 and marked down by 35 percent cost before the sale.

Yet another example of a real-life linear equation is estimating the dimensions of office shelving whose width needs to be four times its height, given that the wood available for use is 72 feet. Or, estimating how much a company pays a vendor for raw material that was priced yesterday for $800, but today has been marked up 25 percent.

Case Assignment

Now it is your turn. For the Module 4 Case Assignment, solve the following three problems, completing a, b, and c for each problem. In “b” for each, explain step by step how you arrived at the answer. And in “c” for each, conduct research to arrive at a strong (informative) paragraph, being sure to cite sources.

Quantitative Reasoning Skills

Problem #1: According to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were about 16.3 million union workers in 2000 and 14.7 million union workers in 2018.

If the change in the number of union workers is considered to be linear write an equation expressing the number y of union workers in terms of the number x of years since 2000.,
Assuming that the equation in part “a” remains accurate use it to predict the number of union workers in 2050.,
Is the number that you came up with in 1b realistic?, Why or why not? What can interfere with the future number of union workers that the equation does not account for?,

Problem #2: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 1990, 529,000 people worked in the air transportation industry. In 2018, the number was 498,780.

Find a linear equation giving the number of employees in the air transportation industry in terms of x, the number of years since 1990.
Assuming the equation remains valid in the future, in what year will there be 400,000 employees in the air transportation industry?
Is the number you came up with in 2b realistic? Why or why not? What can interfere with the future number of employees working in the air transportation industry that the equation does not account for?

Problem #3: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that in 1990, 1.1 million people worked in the truck transportation industry. In 2018, the number was 1.5 million.

Find a linear equation giving the number of employees in the truck transportation industry in terms of x, the number of years since 1990.,
Assuming the equation remains valid in the future in what year will there be 2.5 million employees in the truck transportation industry?,
Is the number you came up with in 3b realistic? Why or why not? What can interfere with the future number of employees working in the trucking industry that the equation does not account for?

Implement New EHR

By Academic Wizard Blog

Implement New EHR

The physicians at ABC Clinics decided to implement a new EHR. This was their first EHR and they are excited to take this step. The physicians decided that the fastest way to implement the EHR was to have two-three physicians select the information and then have the information technology staff implement it using the standard settings without input from other users. They decided to utilize the straight turnover strategy. The physicians were shocked at the number of problems that they encountered on the first day of go-live. Some of these issues were as follows:

The users did not know how to use the information system
Some fields were required when they should not be
Some functionalities did not work
Users had to go to multiple screens to enter demographic and other basic data

The physicians had no choice but to go back to the paper and work to eliminate the issues.

Focus on answering these questions:

Implement New EHR

Identify issues with the implementation.,

Did the physicians make the right decision in going back to paper?, Justify your choice based on your comprehension of the “system implementation” (400-word count); give examples that highlight key points from System Implementation.

Please note the steps of System Implementation:
