...placed under construction on 10/28/2015. The construction area was from mile marker 213 to mile marker 236 with significant crashes causing interstate blockage daily. There was a major increase in the number of crashes documented due to various issues within the construction area. After consulting with the area supervisor, I was authorized to develop a crash reduction plan for this section of highway. I identified issues within the construction zone and met with personnel from TxDOT, Texas Sterling, Webber and various other contractors to address the problem issues; to include: water drainage, tapers, extruders, speed limits, lane closures, and worker safety. A HEAT map and crash data was pulled. Day patrols were increased, a UCRP (Drone Unit) was strategically placed, surge operations and multiple laser task forces were conducted. In turn, major crashes were reduced, construction zone safety was increased, and traffic flow was improved; while teamwork and overall area morale were strengthened. During a declared disaster in Navarro County due to major flooding, I was selected to serve as the contact person for field operations. I advised the Chain of Command as it became necessary to close Interstate 45 due to Richland Creek flooding at the 220-milepost. I placed Troopers south of the creek due to the next crest. I informed the command post of locations to station Trooper so that traffic on the interstate could be shut down. I was able to give the Chain of Command alternate...

...Unit 731 was based at the Pingfang district of Harbin, the largest city in the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo (now Northeast China). More than 10,000 people[1]—from which around 600 every year were provided by the Kempeitai[2]—were subjects of the experimentation conducted by Unit 731. More than 95% of the victims who died in the camp based in Pingfang were Chinese and Korean, including both civilian and military.[3] The remaining 5% were South East Asians and Pacific Islanders, at the time colonies of the Empire of Japan, and a small number of the prisoners of war from the Allies of World War II.[4] According to the 2002 International Symposium on the Crimes of Bacteriological Warfare, the number of people killed by the Imperial Japanese Army germ warfare and human experiments is around 580,000.[5] According to other sources, the use of biological weapons researched in Unit 731's bioweapons and chemical weapons programs resulted in possibly as many as 200,000 deaths of military personnel and civilians in China.[6] Unit 731 was the headquarters of many subsidiary units used by the Japanese to research biological warfare; other units included Unit 516 (Qiqihar), Unit 543 (Hailar), Unit 773 (Songo unit), Unit 100 (Changchun), Unit Ei 1644 (Nanjing), Unit 1855 (Beijing), Unit 8604 (Guangzhou), Unit 200 (Manchuria) and Unit 9420 (Singapore).

...favoritism are typical in her unit. She also facing a budget problem where overtime has been eliminated due to cost cutting measure implemented on the hospital. The budget cut make it difficult to Barbara to allocate a right personnel in case of some staff take a personal or vacation leave. In many cases, she has to rely on nurses from general float pool to cover the staff on leave, but this often lead to negative effect to her staff dynamics because the substitute nurses is not familiar with the GSU. There are three broad problem Barbara has to solve: lack of collaboration and teamwork, staff conflict either within her unit or within the hospital, and lack of transparent performance appraisal procedures. All of this three issues need to be address simultaneously to ensure that the unit perform as Barbara expected. It is evident that there is conflict between junior nurses, senior nurses, and PCAS’s which lead to ineffective collaboration among them. Junior nurses feels like the don’t belong to the team and they don’t get positive feedback from senior nurses. On the other hand, senior nurses feels that many junior nurses and PCA’s are incompetent and feel overwhelmed to support them. To solve this issues, Barbara need to redefine a clear role among the nurses and make sure that the role is properly understood by all her staff. In redefining the role, she must include advice from her staff to ensure that the role definition fit within her unit. She also need to develop a...

...Assignment 1 Task 1 Task 1 a): Iron Man DVD Interface The purpose of this example, is that it is a DVD that is made for the entertainment of who ever watches the movie. It gives you four things to choose from, Play, Set up, Special features and scene selection. The menu uses button that are interactive and take you to different scenes that have different types of media, for example the special features button will take you to a new scene with different features such as deleted scenes and a cartoon adventures. I think the DVD is a very good display of imagery and animation. It’s very easy to navigate, the buttons are clear and is just a very simple user interface. The graphics used are very crisp and clear. They are well sized as they are not massive that take up the whole screen they are medium sized and that means you can fit multiple on and are still easy to see. I think overall it is a good design for the movie and you can easily get to the main menu. The target audience would be teenagers and people who are fans of the marvel movies and comics. The genre of the film is action and adventure. The media involved in the creation of this movie is video and interactive images. The Hunger Games Catching Fire The purpose of this example, is that it is a DVD that is made for the entertainment of who ever watches the movie. I think that the DVD menu is well laid out and looks very interactive just from looking at the menu, from which you can choose to play the movie, go to the scene...

...LAG LENGTH SELECTION AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF UNIT ROOT TESTS WITH GOOD SIZE AND POWER Serena Ng Pierre Perron y This Draft: February 1998 It is widely known that when there are negative moving average errors, a high order augmented autoregression is necessary for unit root tests to have good size, but that information criteria such as the AIC and BIC tend to select a truncation lag that is very small. Furthermore, size distortions increase with the number of deterministic terms in the regression. We trace these problems to the fact that information criteria omit important biases induced by a low order augmented autoregression. We consider a class of Modi ed Information Criteria MIC , de ned as mink ln^ 2 + CT T k + k =T, where T k accounts for the fact that the bias in k the sum of the autoregressive coe cients is highly dependent on k. Using a local asymptotic framework in which the root of an MA 1 process is local to -1, we show that the MIC allows for added dependence between k and the number of deterministic terms in the regression. Most importantly, the k selected by the recommended MAIC with CT = 2 is such that both its level and rate of increase with the sample size are desirable for unit root tests in the local asymptotic framework, whereas the AIC, MBIC and especially the BIC with CT = ln T are less attractive in at least one dimension. In monte-carlo experiments, the MAIC is found to yield huge size improvements to the DF GLS and the feasible point optimal...

...The difference in the cost of RAM and ROM in today’s market as well as where is where it came from and where it is going is pretty amazing. It’s easy to find information on this subject as the demand for faster computers with huge memory seems to grow and profit from this demand. Ten years ago you would have spent over $2,000 to get just 1GB of RAM. As computer manufacturers recoup cost of R&D, the prices start to drop. Today it would cost around $20 to purchase the same 1GB of DDR3 providing considerable savings over a decade ago. The best deal for the money is 2GB of RAM which costs around $40 and is enough memory to run most applications. There are other types of memory available to all of us if you’re willing to pay the price of admission. For example, some of the more exotic types of RAM can still run hundreds, even thousands of dollars. For instance, I found Super Talent 1TB STT RAID DRIVE GS RAID0 for $4,815.00 on Memory Suppliers.com. They also offer iRam 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 SDRAM PC2-5300 667MHz for $119.00. I find this is a very nice web site that is easy to navigate through and find and compare the memory you’re looking for. The following table is from Archive Builders web site. It shows the growth to cost difference for 32 years. This was determined by the increase of the density of disks by 60% a year with an average decrease in price of 37.5%. The 60% increase is based on the growth predictions for MR head technology by IBM, which had increased...
