...Marc Weinstein1; John Gambatese, M.ASCE2; and Steven Hecker3 Abstract: This paper analyzes the impact of a large-scale safety-in-design initiative during the design and construction of a semiconductor manufacturing facility in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Drawing on multiple data sources including individual interviews, group interviews, construction documentation, and an expert panel involved in the initiative, the writers identify 26 potential design changes on the project and assess the importance of timing, trade contractor involvement, and the type of design change in determining whether a proposed design change was ultimately integrated into the final construction plans. The writers further consider whether adopted design changes would have occurred in the absence of the safety-in-design initiative and whether the accepted design changes ultimately impacted construction site safety on the project. This analysis of a full-scale safety-in-design initiative provides important insights into how injury prevention efforts in the construction industry can begin upstream by involving designers, engineers, and trade contractors in preconstruction processes.

COMPARING QTP, SELENIUM AND TESTINGWHIZ INTRODUCTION: When it comes to test automation tools for web application testing it is hard to choose between the available options in the market and the right alternative that offers best of the latest technologies from the market place at the right budget. Open source tools provide the benefit of low initial investment but, they’re not always the best alternative in the long run due to lack of official support & training. Commercial tools on the other hand are highly expensive to implement resulting in higher cost of failure should the right tool not be selected. Automation is a continuous process and it’s very important to have the basics right:- * Setting up the test environment * Screening the available tool options * Creating a Proof of Concept with a few sample test scenarios for the application * Preparing (automation) frameworks * Building libraries of functions & methods * Defining configuration parameters To help test managers and automation engineers choose the right alternative, we have prepared a comparison matrix between the three closest contenders that are highly rated by Test Managers and Automation Engineers alike.

...Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Managing correctional population is a challenging and expensive task for state and local jurisdictions. In recent years, methods of securities were implemented to secure the inmates and to lessen the cases of escapes. These help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of correctional management. According to Lukens, there was a problem in monitoring the inmates during the headcount procedure as the inmates portray the appearance of a sleeping person in cell beds. To resolve this dilemma, they required all the inmates to stand in order in specific area at the same time during headcounts. It was observed that the time it takes to finish this procedure was impractical so they switch to a procedure of checking each inmate in their individual cells (Preventing Prison Escapes and Responding to Security Audits, 2000). Traditional way of monitoring the inmates was considered as impractical as it only applies on situational instances. Wortley (2002) said, that one of possible reasons why prisoners were able to escape prisons is the way these traditional approaches were implemented. Two inmates of the Manila City Jail escaped and had disarmed ten officers in their wake. Due to the heavy rain, they had gone unnoticed by the roving guard on duty that night (Andrade, 2012). In 2002, 17 inmates at BJMP Tagum City Jail escaped in broad daylight. Outnumbering the personnel on duty during the headcount in the morning, the inmates took opportunity...

...Running head: PROGRAMMING METHODS 1 College Databases Kenny Johnson Prof. Mark Cook CIS111: Introduction to Relational Database Management Systems April 20, 2014 Databases are used to store data and retrieve them quickly for processing. All businesses use a database to help them keep their information organized and available when needed. The data in the database is organized in a database management system. A database management system is a collection of programs that manages the database structure and controls access to the data stored in the database (Coronel, Morris & Rob). A business organization that uses a database is a college or university. Currently, at the time the student is admitted to the college all of the information is done manually by ink and paper. This is very time consuming and requires a lot of effort and time. Therefore, it is required to design a database system to make the work more efficient and speed up the process. The database management system will be fast and convenient, easy to operate and easy to edit and delete student information. The purpose of the database will store the records of students, teachers and courses. The database will keep track of students and the courses that they have taken. The database will also keep track of the instructors teaching each of the courses, Some of the entities that will be used in the college database management system are Student, Teacher, Course and Fees....

Sensitivity analysis of operating costs and market growth rate on ROI As mentioned earlier, Section 4.3 created a baseline scenario for a new U.S. based fastener manufacturing company, which is considering establishing a facility to enter into Mexican market. The base line results show very attractive opportunity for the example company in Mexico. In the next stage, in order to study the sensitivity of growth rates and operating costs on the annualized ROI, we re-ran the ROI model by varying the growth and costs rates. The sensitivity analysis was conducted for three types of scenarios. We classify them as pessimistic, most likely, and optimistic scenarios. In other words, the pessimistic growth rates represent a scenario when the Mexican market growth rates are lower than that of U.S. market. The most likely scenario shows equivalent growth...

...occurred. Uncontrolled duplication of data is undesirable because: i. Duplication is wasteful ii. Duplication can lead to loss of data integrity Data dependence Using file-based system, the physical structure and storage of the data files and records are defined in the application program code. This characteristic is known as program-data dependence. Making changes to an existing structure are rather difficult and will lead to a modification of program. Such maintenance activities are time-consuming and subject to error. Incompatible file formats The structures of the file are dependent on the application programming language. However file structure provided in one programming language such as direct file, indexed-sequential file which is available in COBOL programming, may be different from the structure generated by other programming language such as C. The direct incompatibility makes them difficult to process jointly....

...Creating an effective plan for the management and treatment of female offenders There are nearly 2.1 million violent female offenders annually in the United States (Greenbelt et al. 2000). Three out of four female violent offenders commit simple assaults, and three out of four female violent offenders attack other women. The incarceration rate for women is increasing at nearly twice the rate of men (Gater, 2005). Some risk factors contributing to the increase in criminal behavior among women include spousal abuse, substance abuse, and mental illness. The treatment of female offenders is becoming an increasingly important issue. Female offenders are often incarcerated in facilities designed for male treatment and rehabilitation needs. In the past, it was considered that male and female inmates had similar treatment needs, but as correctional administrators become aware of the increasing numbers and the differing needs of female offenders, they must re-evaluate the available treatment programs and begin to implement revisions to the management of program plans. It is now clear that differences in treatment between women and men within the judicial and correctional systems often have harmed rather than helped women (Harris 1998). In addition, Harris (1998) adds that evidence continues to grow of ways in which women’s experiences have been tied to their race and class, as well as the part of the country in which they lived and other personal characteristics.

...general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented computer programming language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning that code that runs on one platform does not need to be recompiled to run on another. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Strengths:WORA, popularity Weaknesses: Slower than natively compiled languages Sample syntax: class HelloWorldApp { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); } } C++ is a programming language that is general purpose, statically typed, free form, multi-paradigm and compiled. It is regarded as an intermediate-level language, as it comprises both high-level and low-level language features. Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs, C++ was originally named C with Classes, adding object oriented features, such as classes, and other enhancements to the C programming language. The language was renamed C++ in 1983, as a pun involving the increment operator. Strengths:Speed Weaknesses: Older and considered clumsy if compared to Java Sample syntax: #include using namespace std; void main(){ cout << "Hello World!"; } C# is a multi-paradigm programming language encompassing strong typing, imperative, declarative...
