Path Research Papers Samples For Students

Abstract

Algorithms have been developed for a long time with many of them undergoing a long process to reach where they are today. The A* algorithm has found its wide use in artificial intelligence. This is because it has been found to be effective in looking for the shortest path to getting something. Many search algorithms are dynamic in nature. A* can be regarded as static in the way it does its search. There are other versions that have been developed to overcome the limitation that is brought by this algorithm.

Introduction

The path-goal leadership theory was developed in order to pinpoint distinct leadership styles that aided in motivating subordinates to meet objectives. Path-goal theory distinguishes between four main leadership styles, which include directive, supportive, participative, and achievement-oriented (Polston-Murdoch, 2013). The directive and achievement-oriented styles tend to be associated with male leaders, while female leaders tend to be associated with supportive and participative styles (Polston-Murdoch, 2013). Whether change initiatives succeed in organizations is often tied to the level and type of employee motivation. In management theory, transformational leadership is tied to change initiatives due to transformational leadership’s emphasis on vision, ...

Response to Question 1

The height in meters above Sea Level at the Point of observation is 960 meters
MSL equivalent pressure
MSL equivalent pressure also abbreviated as pMSL
pMSL = pobs + pgzobs
It is important to acknowledge that p is the density of air at the point of observation and g is the acceleration due to gravitational force and z is the height at the point of observation.
In this case, p (density of air at the point of observation) = 1.2041 kg/m3; while g (acceleration due to gravity) = 9.81m/s2. The height in meters (z) at the observation point is 196 meters.

Taking these figures into consideration, pMSL will be attained as indicated below;

Executive Summary

Saddle point approximation implementation and derivations have typically relied on tools such as Edgeworth expansions, exponential tilting, complex integration, Hermite polynomials, and other advanced notions.
