...Lab Questions What, specifically, about the company’s products or practices is environmentally sustainable (in any of the following areas that are applicable): A fund-raiser for Growing Gardens. This non-profit organization helps elderly, low income people in northeast Portland grow their own food. As a supporter of the program, Yudkin placed beautiful pictures of these gardens on the walls of Hot Lips restaurants where people could see the connection between the earth and food. Its product was very personal – something you put in your body – and directly connected to a healthy environment. Production of raw materials: how has the company taken steps to decrease the production impact of the raw materials it uses? He took his employees out to visit an organic farm and decided to shift toward organically grown produce from local farmers. He saw this, in part, as addressing the social equity aspects of The Natural Step’s fourth system condition. The decision to favor local farms has caused Yudkin to begin integrating seasonality into his menu. Typical toppings of the summer are tomatoes, corn and summer squash. During the winter, they are greens, potatoes and sun-dried tomatoes. Yudkin says, “This insures flavor, freshness and nutrition. It also helps keep money within our community and maintains local agriculture and regional food security. And it reduces the amount of fossil fuel used to grow and transport our food.” Hot Lips currently uses organic...

...Removing Malware: Tools and Techniques Devan A. Dunham American Military University, ISSC342, Instructor Peter Mylonakos In the digital world, there are many tools and techniques to harm your computer, but there are also the same for protecting your computer as well. Malware, or malicious software, is software that is intended to damage or disable computers and computer systems. It is very dynamic and can be hard to detect sometimes because it may disguise itself as something that should be running on your computer. For example, after installing a program, Jim doesn’t realize that the executable file he downloaded was infected with malware named “Wajam” but disguised itself as “Software Updater” under Control Panel. It ran in the background and updated itself automatically without Jim’s knowledge. So how would Jim detect and remove this virus? First, Jim should always be aware what is running on his computer. On Windows machines specifically, opening the Task Manager and taking a quick look at processes will give the user a good outlook on what is running on the computer. Users should look for anything suspicious or unknown processes and do further research upon discovering them. Another simplified way to discover malware is to use an anti-virus program. There are many available to users and doing a quick internet search will yield thousands of programs, but sticking with reputable programs will serve its purposes. Scanning for malware and other viruses is as simple as click...

Learn Genetics Can DNA Demand a Verdict? 1. Explain how DNA can be used to identify an individual when 99% of living things have a common genetic code. * We all have .01% of DNA that is unique to us out of 3 billion. With that there’s enough information to accurately identify a person. 2. When a small amount of DNA is found in human saliva on a glass at a crime scene, how do forensic scientists analyze the saliva to find a suspect? * Forensic scientist would use the PCR technique to identify the suspect. 3. Do you think DNA evidence alone is enough to exonerate a prisoner already convicted of a crime? Why or why not? How do states make this determination? * No. Using DNA, it’s easier to exclude people. Some states reconsider...

...Pre-Lab Questions 1. Nitrogen fixation is a natural process by which inert or unreactive forms of nitrogen are transformed into usable nitrogen. Why is this process important to life? The useable nitrogen created, is extremely important since it is used to form DNA, enzymes, and other biological processes. Nitrogen fixation is also important because when it is inert, it is useless for organisms. 2. Given when you have learned about the hydrogen bonding shared between nucleic acids in DNA, which pair is more stable under increasing heat: adenine and thymine, or cytosine and guanine? Explain why. Adenine and thymine are more stable because, the additional carbon bonds make their nucleotides more stable. 3. Which of the following is not an...

...Lab 1 Assessment Questions: 1. Relate how Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory and the configuration of access controls achieve CIA department LANs, departmental folders, and data. By establishing security principle within the Active Directory Domain. 2. Is it a good practice to include the account and user name in the password? Why or Why not? No it is not a good idea to include the account and user name in the password because there are Hackers out there who would use either a dictionary attack or brute force attacks which go though lists to find the correct combination of words, letters, numbers and characters in order to crack user names and passwords which depending on how simple or complex it is can take anywhere from 5 minutes or 5 months to decrypt, so it is a good practice to keep everything as unique as possible. 3. To enhance the strength of user passwords, what are some of the best practices to implement for user password definitions to maximize confidentiality? In this case the best way to ensure a strong password is to use 8 or more characters such as a mixture of Uppercase. Lowercase, numbers, and symbols in order to create a complex password that would be very difficult to crack. 4. Can a defined user in Active Directory access a shared drive if that user is not part of the domain? No they should not be able to access the shared folders unless they have authorized access. 5. Does Windows Server 2008 R2 require a user’s logon/password credentials prior...

...and the policy’s effectiveness was our main focus. This report will show the results of that research. Students, faculty, and the administration in the college of business were our focal point. Surveys were given to students with questions regarding financial hardships caused by laptop requirement and their opinions of the policy among others. Faculty was interviewed on their thoughts and how the policy helped with the classroom. Administration helped with the reasoning behind implementing the policy and some hints to phase outs of the computer labs located in the college of business. We found that students believed that the policy is not effective, but should be enforced. For faculty, some believe that the policy is helpful for learning and welcome laptops in the classroom while others feel that laptops can be a distraction to everyone. The administration implemented the policy because they want students to have the ability to work anywhere at any time with the specialized tools/software needed for courses taken. They also feel laptops are necessary for non-traditional students who may be full time professionals and have the option to complete courses online. Rumors that the laptop requirement was put into place because of possible computer lab phase outs are false, null, and void. To improve the effectiveness of the laptop requirement in the college of business, we recommend the following: * Making sure students/faculty are aware of the laptop requirement * Enforcing...

...Major Milestones of the Telecommunications Industry 1837 Samuel Morse invents the telegraph - The information age began with the telegraph, which was invented by Samuel F.B. Morse in 1837. This was the first instrument to transform information into electrical form and transmit it reliably over long distances. The earliest form of electrical communication, the original Morse telegraph of 1837 did not use a key and sounder. Instead it was a device designed to print patterns at a distance. 1858 Transoceanic telegraph cable is laid – The transoceanic telegraph cable is an undersea cable running under the Atlantic Ocean used for telegraph communications. The first communications occurred August 16, 1858, reducing the communication time between North America and Europe from ten days, the time it took to deliver a message by ship, to a matter of minutes. 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invents the telephone - The telegraph was followed by Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone in 1876. The magneto-telephone was one of the first telephones on which both transmission and reception were done with the same instrument. 1885 - Incorporation of the American Telephone and Telegraph company (AT&T). After its incorporation in 1885, the American Telephone and Telegraph company dominated the telecommunications market. 1888 - Heinrich Hertz discovers the electromagnetic wave 1895 - Marconi begins experimenting with wireless telegraph 1901 Guglielmo Marconi invented the radio—the...

...Unit 1 Research 1 PT1420 In the 1970s the programming language that was most popular was Pascal. Pascal was designed in 1968-69 but published in 1970. Niklaus Wirth created the Pascal language to “1) make available a language suitable for teaching programming as a systematic discipline based on fundamental concepts clearly by the language, and 2) to define a language whose implementations could be both reliable and efficient on then-available computers. In 1972 the C programming language was developed by Dennis Ritchie. C was created to work with the system Unix. “Unix gives C such advanced features as dynamic variables, multitasking, interrupt handling, forking, and strong, low-level, input-output. Because of this, C is very commonly used to program operating systems such as Unix, Windows, the MacOS, and Linux.” In the 1980s the popular programming language was C++. C++ was developed at Bell Laboratories. C++ is a general purpose multi-paradigm spanning compiled language that has both high-level and low-level languages’ features. It was started as an enhancement to the C programming language, Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979. In the 1990s Java was the popular programming language. It was created in 1991 developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems and release in 1995. In the 2000s Visual Basic (VB) was popular in the programming world. VB was developed from BASIC which was originally developed in 1964 by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurts. VB is a Microsoft programing language and software...
