...Assignment 1 The key elements of music are a holistic approach towards child development. It develops the whole spectrum of student’s intellect, which involves knowledge, skills, attitude, feeling and sense. When a student listens to music, it develops skills in concentration, identifies patterns, and hears detail and reflects upon what is heard. I believe all these disciplines are necessary to be a good learner. Listening and singing helps to develop long and short-term memory. I have experienced this with a kindergarten student who was struggling to count to 20. As soon as the student was introduced with a counting song, she was very quick at learning the numbers because she sung numbers to tune. I think music also helps to develop visual skills and to think in abstract form as well. Singing also extends literacy skills such as pronunciation of words or articulation of phrases. However, when singing, teacher need to consider the literacy level of the class, that is how well students can sing the words. When students have difficulty with words while singing they are the ones having the trouble with tune and pitch of a song. Therefore it is very important to learn the songs. I think teaching singing is like teaching any other curriculum area. Teaching and learning to sing may sound or look simple but making students to understand and know the pitch, pattern and rhythm can be challenging. Therefore it needs to be explicitly taught, step-by-step, if one has to be successful...

...PRODUCTION AND OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT BUS3020 COURSE CONTENT WEEK THREE TOPIC: FORECASTING • Different Methods of Forecasting – Formal and Informal, • Qualitative and Quantitative Methods • Causal methods auto projection methods of forecasting. What is forecasting? Forecasting is the art and science of predicting future events. As a science it uses historical data and projects them into the future using mathematical models. As an art it uses intuition or judgment to predict the future. Why forecast? Done to minimize uncertainty and evaluate risk relating to future events caused by dynamism of the environment within which organizations operate. Such dynamisms includes: a) Changes in legislation b) Stiff competition c) Demographic changes. Forecasting is important for planning and control of functional areas such as; marketing, finance, operations e.t.c.In the public sector, forecasts are used to plan on: Health, Education, Social services e.t.c. Types of forecasts • Demand forecasts – projections of demand for a company’s products or services. • Economic forecasts – predicts inflation rates, money supplies e.t.c • Technological forecasts.- concerned with the rate of technological progress. Forecasting Horizons a) Short – range forecasts: Covers from a few days to 6 months. It concerns issues like purchase forecasts, job scheduling, workforce levels, job assignments, production levels e.t.c. b) Medium range forecasts: Covers usually from 3 months...

...Proton R&D Plan Storage Ring EDM Collaboration, 18 Nov. 2009 7. Spin Coherence Time (C.J.G. Onderwater) Overview The sensitivity with which an EDM can be sought for is to a good approximation given by sd ∝ 1 PE N T tot A Here P is the (transverse) polarization of the beam at the time of injection, E the effective electric field, N the number of particles stored per fill, Ttot the total running time of the experiment, τ a characteristic time scale and A the analyzing power of the polarimeter. The characteristic timescale depends on the lifetime of the beam in the storage ring, tbeam, which is predominantly determined by the extraction towards the polarimeter, and the polarization lifetime tpol. Given a polarization lifetime the former can be tuned to yield optimal sensitivity, typically tbeam≈2tpol. In this case τ is proportional to tpol. The sensitivity is thus inversely proportional to (the square-root of) the polarization lifetime. Maximization of tpol thus optimizes the sensitivity of the experiment. The proposed experimental sensitivity is based on a projected polarization lifetime of 1000 seconds, i.e. 108−109 particle revolutions. Such lifetimes are routinely achieved for the polarization component perpendicular to the beam orbit plane, i.e. parallel to the invariant spin field. This relies on the use of snakes, spin rotators, etc. Little experience is available with transversely polarized beams. Notable examples are the muon g-2 experiment at BNL...

...Appendix B: Instructor’s Manual Assignments (with Solutions) using the Movie Data Accompanying Article Available at http://www.amstat.org/publications/jse/v17n1/mclaren.html Note to Instructors: Our students, like many introductory business statistics students, have access to SPSS and Minitab so in most cases these exercises provide specific instructions for these two packages. We have also included instructions for Excel 2007. While we are cognizant of the issues with using Excel for statistical analyses, we also realize its simplicity for basic functions such as graphing, and we use it in our classes along with Minitab and SPSS because we feel that business students should be proficient in its use. We used SPSS version 15, Minitab version 15, and Excel 2007 to write the following instructions. If your students will be using other versions of these softwares or if you prefer that your students use different statistical software, you will need to edit the instructions accordingly before distributing to your students. Exercise 1: Data Retrieval and Graphing Learning Objectives: 1. Locate and retrieve data from a web site. 2. Place retrieved data into Excel and format appropriately. (This step is recommended because the format from the website is not easily imported directly into SPSS and Minitab). 3. Create and format a time series plot in SPSS, Minitab, Excel or other software. Instructions for the students: For this exercise you will use movie box office...

...ANSWERS TO CASES Chapter 1 DiGiorno Pizza: Introducing a Frozen Pizza to Compete with Carry-Out In conducting research for the launching of a new product it is imperative that the target population be identified. In this case, who are the people most likely to be interested in purchasing and consuming frozen pizzas in lieu of carry-out pizzas? How are these people to be identified for sampling (Chapter 7 refers to this group as the “frame”)? Should a test market city or area be used? Why or why not? What mode of survey such as telephone, mail, or personal interview should be used? When should these people be surveyed? Does time of day, day of the week, or season of the year make any difference? What types of measurements should be taken? Some possible measurements might include dollar amounts spent per week of pizza per family, number of pizzas purchased per month, percentage of family pizza consumption that is frozen pizza, and total amount spent per month on take out food. 1. One population that was identified was “pizza lovers”. These people may have been previously identified by market researchers based on number of pizzas purchased per month, use of coupons, or from previous surveys. Another population mentioned in the case was women ages 25 to 54. The advertisements shown on national TV were likely aimed at the general population because Kraft was attempting to achieve broader goals such as brand name recognition and a dissemination...

In other words, draw out all of our strong points, versus the competition's weaker ones, and also instill a sense of urgency so that they want to act now. Since we are an everything type of store, we wanted an affinity to connect all of our associations, with something that was easily recognized in a familiar sort of way. Furthermore, as well as find a method, to instantly tie our company name with reliability, quality, trust worthiness, as well as an old world feel, that our vendors, partners and customers alike, would respect and appreciate. Hence, we chose the Alice in Wonderland party Theme, complete with the Mad Hatter, Alice and all the other zany characters to act as an Avatar, Name, Logo, Slogan and Product extension all rolled up in to one. For us, it just seems perfect. It's wild, its familiar, it's trusted, and it's etched into the hearts and minds of folks everywhere, very much like an old school nursery rhyme, that we all learned way back when. So, our theme should help broadcast who and where we are located, what types of products and services (Hartnett,...
