...Green Computing Research Project By James C. Frazier Part1 The purpose of this Green Computing Research Project is to research possible applications of green computing for We Are Big Incorporated. First, I want to define what is Green Computing: Environmental responsibility and sustainability in computing and/or IT systems, including overall energy efficiencies, responsible disposal of electronic waste and recycling programs, telecommuting, virtualization of server resources, thin client solutions, using open source software, and the development of new software to address green computing. In an article Harnessing Green IT: Principles and Practices, by San Murugesan defines the field of green computing as "the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems such as monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and communications systems efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment.” The applications being closely researched are as follows: * Data center and overall energy efficiency: Is a basic Energy Star program for organizations and using technology or data centers for multi-user/departmental uses. Cities teaming up with businesses to use tools like smart meters, data visualizations and even mobile technology to promote energy efficiency and urban sustainability.

...Project selection and integration management Since there were 3 short-list projects can be implemented. We need to compare them and choose one for implementation. First, we will list some criteria for chosen the project to implement. 1. Support key business objectives. As for this, we need the project can present an information which contain the environmental protection information to the customers and community. These environmental protection information or Green information must contain some activities like Recycle, Reduce and Reuse. The majority business objective in this topic is to create a Green image for the airline. So the project should be strong in this criterion. 2. Has strong internal sponsor As for this, if a project can be run successful, the internal support in the company’s different department is required! Like the project 1, we need to have a co-work with Food & Beverage Department. If the FB department dislikes the project then the project won’t be run success. 3. Acceptance of the society. This criterion is important. Some project need customer support so much like project 3. If the customers don’t agree the project, the project will fail. 4. Realistic level of technology. As a project sometimes might need to use some machines and technologies to help it. But may be some technology still not emergence. We might want to have a machine can absorb the rubbish then produce some useful product, but this is impossible in today. So we need to identify the...

...Excel Project Report Introduction: This project report is about the project we did on M&Ms. My hypothesis for this project is that bags of equal weight should have the same amount of candies in it. All the colors aren’t represented equally because there are 6 different colors so there must be more of that color in each bag. The color distribution doesn’t remain constant because the little bag will have less candies and the bigger bag will have more candies for each color. Data Collection: This project we are doing is on M&Ms. We opened the mini bags of M&Ms and recorded how many of each color there were and recorded it in the table under bag1. Then we went to 5 other peoples M&Ms and recorded how much M&Ms were there for each color and recorded those under bags 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Then I put that information in 3 different graphs. My Table of the Data: Colors Blue Brown Green Orange Red Yellow Total Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Avera g 1 g 2 g 3 g 4 g 5 g 6 ge 5 0 5 3 0 3 1 6 4 6 4 6 0 0 2 0 3 2 4 5 2 4 2 0 2 4 3 6 2 3 2 0 4 1 5 4 2 1 1 7 4 1 9 3 0 0 1 7 4 2 5 5 1 2 18 Data Analysis: My dat ta reveals that every color r doesn’t have the e same am mount for that co olor there e are all d different. .

...Architectural Layer Standards The CAD Layer Guidelines are organized as hierarchy. This arrangement accommodates expansion and addition 0f user-defined extensions to the layer list. Layer names are alphanumeric and use abbreviations that are easy to remember. This legibility is particularly important when CAD files are distributed among architects, consultants, and clients. Layer names consist of a Discipline Code-Major Group-Minor Group-Status Field. The format for the CAD Standard is as follows: Discipline Code Discipline is the primary method of classification for layer names. The discipline code provides a path back to the originator of the data and provides a logical categorization of CAD information. The discipline code is intended primarily to identify the author of the graphic information. Thus, a structural column placed by an architect would be A-COLS rather than S-COLS. The existence of both sets of information can in fact indicate the need for coordination. The Discipline Code is a one or two-character field with the second character either a hyphen or a user-defined modifier. The discipline codes are listed below. A Architectural M Mechanical C Civil P Plumbing E Electrical Q Equipment F Fire Protection R Resource G General S Structural H Hazardous Materials T Telecommunications I Interiors X Other L Landscape Z Contractor/shop Drawings Major Group The Major Group designation identifies the building system.

...Scientific Method Sharon Childers Unit 1 Individual Project May 5, 2013 Biology American Intercontinental University Biology is the study of life. When studying Biology one will study the way organisms live and their lives. How are humans created? How are cell formed? What is DNA made of? All of these questions are some form of Biology. Even the color of certain birds is a part of Biology. When dealing with the Sciences you will come across the Scientific Method. This method consists of: Question, Hypothesis, Research, Experiment, Analysis and Conclusion. Below we will discuss a question and complete the steps of the Scientific Method to come up with an answer to the question. Question Do ruby-throated hummingbirds prefer some colors more than others when visiting flowers? Hypothesis In my opinion I believe hummingbirds prefer bright colors opposed to darker colors. The hummingbird has a red throat so considering that I would think they prefer red or something similar to red when it comes to picking flowers to visit. Research Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are primarily in the United States. These small birds are hard to find in the sky because they are only 2-3 in and can flap their wings 53 times in one second. That’s kind of hard to believe or even imagine. When it comes to the type of feeder a hummingbird feeds on doesn’t really matter. They tend to eat from any kind of feeder. When it comes to flowers they prefer, red and yellow are their preference...

...The world of nature is colourful and bright and human ingenuity cannot hope to match it. Right from the sky above to the sea below, nature abounds in the richness of colour. The human eye and the human mind respond to this world of colour and identify themselves with it. When a person is cheerful and bright we refer to him as a 'colourful personality', similarly the different colours are used to indicate human moods and attitudes: blue is associated with depression, white is likened with serenity, green with jealousy and red with rage. Colour is also used to relieve tension. Psychologists have investigated the effect of colour on the working ability of workers and have come to the conclusion that certain colours are more conducive to Positive thinking than others. The power of colours cannot be denied, more so, as it is the soul instance of life on earth. Although sight and the human brain has helped in identifying colours and their delights, it's interesting to note what colours mean to us in totality. The power of colours and their meanings has been enlisted below. RED: More than half the globe loves this colour. We sure agree. Red is the second-most favorite colour on earth. Be it the Ferrari red or a svelte red dress, red is an intense colour, and defines many emotions and moods. The most important being, the colour of love, passion, seduction, and desire. It also defines enthusiasm, power, and heat. This colour also represents anger, violence, and aggression. Red...
