Physical Chemistry question: If 2.0 x 10^23 argon (Ar) atoms strike 4.0 cm^2 of wall per second at a 90 degree angle to the wall when moving with a speed of 45,000 cm/s, what pressure (in atm) do they exert on the wall? The answer to this question is in the back of the book, but I cannot figure out how to get there.

Read the following article:

• Livesey, E. J., Harris, I. M., & Harris, J. A. (2009). Attentional changes during implicit learning: Signal validity protects a target stimulus from the attentional blink. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 35(2), 408-408-422. doi:10.1037/a0014525 (ProQuest Document ID: 614494049)

Using the experience from the CogLab demonstration and information from the article, write a paper that addresses the following:

• Explain how the attentional blink relates to attention. Analyze how the variation in time influences the probability of seeing the second target letter. Explain the circumstances under which the attentional blink can be eliminated.
• In the CogLab demonstration, letters were used as targets. The target used can influence the duration of one’s attentional blink and whether the attentional blink even occurs. Complete the following tasks:
  • Propose at least two other targets that could be used to induce the attentional blink.

Be sure it is not the same study that you used in any of the Discussions in this class, and be sure it was published in the past 10 years. First, briefly summarize the study for the class (subjects, method, results, conclusions, etc.). Then, using the Horner et al. (2005) article, provide a detailed discussion of whether or not the study meets each element of all seven criteria given for a quality single subject research study. Use Table 1 on p. 174 of the Horner et al. (2005) article to organize your paper. Discuss one element at a time: there are seven major headings and 21 bullet points in Table 1, so your paper should have seven section headings, with each section containing the same number of paragraphs as there are bullet points for that section in Table 1.

In your paper, be sure to provide a clear determination of the following:

1.  The full-text citation to your article.

2.  A discussion of all the criteria of a quality single subject study that were described in the article from your reading this week and whether or not your study meets these criteria.

3.  Provide a clear rationale as to why the study meets quality standards for each of the criteria listed above, with sufficient references and citations to the text to support your assertions.

Be sure to use APA style throughout, with a minimum of 3-5 pages in total.

The paper should:

I have a quiz that I need help with, I have done it once,

1. Gilgamesh’s story was clearly thought to be something worth preserving by the people of the ancient Near East … something that should be passed along to future generations. Taking into account the epic as a whole, what is it about Gilgamesh that makes it a tale worth telling? Explain and support your response. Keep in mind the perspective of the ancient people that first told this story. 

2. Last week you were asked to consider if Gilgamesh and Enkidu are courageous and/or virtuous in the first half of the poem. Now, taking into account the events and actions in the second half of the poem, is there reason to offer a different answer to the question of whether they possess courage and/or virtue? Explain. 

Word count for all should be no less than 200 and not more than 300.

This weeks work for unicew

A prestigious university has recently implemented a consolidation strategy that will require it to centralize their student records. In order to move forward, the local university will need to develop a data model that will retain student records and perform various data extract transform and load (ETL) processes. Imagine that you have been hired as a database consultant to assist in the development of a data design strategy for the student records. 

You met with various university subject matter experts and have determined the following after performing various business analysis processes:

Faculty groups are divided by core competencies that the university offers. For example, there are groups such as the Art Faculty, Computer Technology Faculty, Language Faculty, and Science Faculty. Each faculty member has an assigned Dean and is designated to teach at one particular campus and school. They are able to teach as many courses as required.

Courses are categorized by course code and title. Certain courses have prerequisites and the university has asked for this to be cataloged as well.

There are various schools within each campus. For example, the Los Angeles campus holds the following schools: School of Science, School of Law, and School of Computer Technology. Additionally, each school offers different professional study programs such as Forensic Computer Science, Marine Biology, Business Management, and Civil Engineering to name a few. 

The study path for students requires that they be enrolled in a specific professional study program. The professional study program requires the students to complete a specific set of core courses. The university also requires that an online grade book be available. The online grade book should show grades awarded to students for specific courses and the term they completed the course.

The university identifies each student by his or her name, date of birth, social, and professional study program.

Question: Using these findings, write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

Analyze the university’s requirements and provide a proposal to organize all the required data elements. The proposal should include the following:

Provide an Entity Relationship Model (ERM) that will describe the data structure that will store all data elements. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.

Describe any assumptions or limitations for each relationship. For example, professors are able to teach more than one course or students can only be enrolled in one program.

Create the primary key and foreign keys using a UML Class diagram for each table.

Suggest at least four (4) types of business intelligence reports that could help the university in course management, student enrollment, or historical tracking. Support your answer by providing specific business functions that these reports could assist executives of the university.

As an alternative for development of the database, you are considering outsourcing the functions above. Research the Internet and other media sources for vendors who develop registrar and school management database systems.

Suggest three (3) vendors that developed and are employing efficient registrar and school management database systems and support your reasons to choose from one (1) of these three (3) vendors.

Compare and contrast the key aspects that each system offers. Examples of system aspects include but not limited to cloud based, pricing model, open source, etc.

Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

In a 1,000-1,250-word paper, address the following:

1. Identify an effective leader who you believe is also a good communicator and explain the reasoning behind your choice. (This individual can be a widely known figure or someone you know personally.)
2. Using this person as an example, explain why effective communication is so important for effective leadership. Support this portion of the paper by citing material from the text, assigned readings and outside sources.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Directly quoted source material may not exceed 10% of the paper’s content.

Identify and explain four of Bass’ factors associated with transformational leadership.  Give examples from your own experiences or observations that illustrate the use of two of these factors. Contrast the expectations of transactional and transformational leaders.
