Abstract

Decision-making can involve a single decision or multistage decisions. When the decision-maker has to make at least two decisions separated in time, such as a situation where a company must first decide if it makes sense to hire an expert to make an actual decision about an investment. As the decision-maker goes on making decisions, the uncertainty diminishes. The probabilities are determined in a reverse manner when compared to regular decision-tree used for decision-making. The resulting process is Baye’s rule or theorem. The company wants to find out if hiring an expert so that he or she can ...

Introduction

The Ebola virus has existed for centuries. Like all life forms and viruses, it has been changing and adapting since the beginning of time to survive. Despite this the disease did not make itself known until the twentieth century. However, once the virus revealed itself only three major outbreaks have occurred. There were two in 1976 and one which took started in 2014 (CDC, 2015). The latest outbreak has been the longest and worst, effecting numerous countries such as, Mali, Nigeria, Liberia and Senegal in West Africa (CDC, 2015). This paper will look at the scientific aspects of the ...

Tools and Concepts Of Project Management

Project management is an increasingly important discipline in today’s business environment. By definition, project management refers to the discipline that involves the application of knowledge and skills in the initiation, planning, execution, control, and closing of a work process or activities set to accomplish specific goals under very specific criteria (Tayntor 2010). According to Charvat (2002), for organization to gain competitive advantage, they must focus on project management as a key driver for growth. When speaking of project management, many people get the idea of managing large projects, such as the construction of a house, road, or even ...

Topology refers to the way in which computer networks are connected. It is the interconnection configuration that is responsible for providing effective communication. It involves connecting devices, arranging nodes and cables (Rouse, 2016). There are different types of network topologies, and each of them has specific tasks. In this paper, the differences between the topologies will be discussed.

Bus Topology

In this kind of topology, all devices are connected to a common shared cable. The name of the cable is a bus. Thus, there is a way in which all devices are directly connected to each other in the network. For ...

DESIGN PROPOSAL

1.0 PHYSICAL NETWORK DESIGN This design implementation must be on LAN systems because it is located in within the same building that has no structured facilities that aid data transfer from one network to another. Use of proper network topology helps in structuring the network with advantages such as cost reduction and less power consumption. The network nodes and connection lines are supposed to be designed in such a way that it reduces complexity and utilizes the available space properly. Currently, there are both physical and logical network topologies [3]. The physical aspect is defined as the actual geometric ...

The Corpus Callosum is the largest commissure, which facilitates communication between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. The views on the value of the Corpus Callosum are varied: from the most "useless" to those defining the higher cognitive functions of human brain structure. According to modern concept, the role of Corpus Callosum is not limited to the transfer of information. This commissure enables meta-control of the information in both hemispheres, as one of them must establish the function of its processing (Banich, 1995). Corpus Callosum not only transmits sensory information, ensuring its double representation in every hemisphere, ...

Abstract

Decision situations can be analyzed using different methods out which decision trees are useful to analyze complex situations. Frequently, decision situation is complicated because the payoffs are not only dependent on the initial decision but also dependent on the additional decisions are taken in the sequential step process. Decision trees can identify the best initial as well as the best subsequent actions. The decision criterion that a decision tree satisfies the Bayesian expected payoff criterion. The present case has multiple alternatives and multiple probabilities; decision tree is the best method for solving this. The resulting decision tree has three ...

Over the past few years, the Internet has made a profound and radical transformation. The network went through a process of transformation from the trivial multi-level communicator to media complex, which, in turn, turned into a phenomenal cultural phenomenon, relevant to many spheres of human life: birth or death, creation, family, self-expression or self-promotion. The Internet has deprived us of the complex needs to live his own life: acceptance, condemnation, glory, and money, recognition and fame we can get on the Internet. The network is becoming more and more humane, absorbing more and more aspects of human existence. The ...

Heart is one of the most important part of the body. It performs many vital functions that are essential for life. Without the functioning of heart there is no life. Heart is also considered as the pumping organ of the body. The main function of heart is to pump the blood throughout the body ("The Heart (Human Anatomy): Picture, Definition, Location In The Body, And Heart Problems"). Inside the body blood is considered as the most important mean of transport of oxygen ...

Seminar: Inflammatory and Immune Mechanisms in Lymphatic Vascular Disease

The YouTube video presented by David Zawieja, talks about immune and inflammatory mechanisms that occur in Lymphatic Vascular diseases. The lymphatic system has a significant role in various essential mechanisms inside the body such as edema resolution, fluid and macromolecular homeostasis, inflammation and antigen trafficking. The primary of the Lymphatic function involves the transportation of Lymphatic substances from the interstitial spaces between the tissues via lymphatic capillary network and nodes that terminate into the venous blood inside the veins. The most significant segment of the lymphatic function is the flow of lymph through multiple nodes. The immune cells like ...

The 2-year child has complaints of the ear that have deprived him of sleep due to the associated pain. There are two possible diagnosis in this case; on one hand the patient could be having a swimmer’s ear condition also known as the acute otitis externa which usually a condition that causes, inflammation, irritation as well as infection on the ear canal that runs from the eardrum to the external region of the ear (Burns, Dunn, Brady, Starr & Blosser, 2013). The condition is characterized by the production of an odorless clear discharge from the ear which can advance ...

A Position Paper

In the recent past, demand for services that consume high bandwidth has increased. Such services include real-time video streaming. However, the traditional Internet architecture was never designed with such aspects in mind. As a result, the transportation of data (in more compressed forms) has become prone to high rates of packet losses and delays. For this reason, there was a need to move away from the traditional protocols and standards into the more current Quality of Service (QoS) in computer networks. QoS in a computer network enables the network to transport data simultaneously from one host to another while ...

CANCER With the advancements in modernisation, many diseases have crept in into the human population. A good number of them are due to factors like sedentary lifestyle habits, improper dietary habits and a fast paced life. The hectic life nowadays leaves no time for the people to focus on their health. This leads to the development of numerous health issues which make the people suffer gravely in the long run. Some of these diseases may even prove to be fatal. One such disease is Cancer. It is a disease that can affect almost any part of the body and ...

Introduction

Cancer is not a new disease. For many years, people had been suffering from it. While there are many clinical trials on their way, cancer remains to put people in misery and pain. As such, it is important to have a definitive knowledge of cancer. The knowledge of cancer should cover its diagnosis, treatment, complications, and how all of its physical and physiological consequences may be minimized. Furthermore, this paper will cover all of the aforementioned knowledge regarding cancer and describe the approach to the care of cancer patients.

Introduction

Cancer disease encompasses about 200 different types of the disease which take different types of treatments too. Many of such are curable, others are controllable, and symptoms such as pain can be relieved. The behavior and treatment of cancer depends largely on how early the cancer was detected. All types of cancer cannot be treated using a single reliable treatment procedure but current major methods used by clinicians include: surgery where the cancerous tissue is completely removed, chemotherapy where the cancerous tissues are destroyed or the growth of the cells is inhibited, radiotherapy where the cancerous tissues are destroyed ...

Bovine tuberculosis (TB) refers to a chronic bacterial infection of cattle that distresses some species of mammals. It is a substantial zoonosis that may spread to humans, mainly via the consumption of unpasteurized milk or the inhalation of aerosols. In developed nations, eradication initiatives have eliminated or reduced tuberculosis in cattle. As a result, human disease is currently rare. Nevertheless, reservoirs in wildlife may cause eradication challenging. Bovine tuberculosis remains popular in underdeveloped nations, and severe economic losses may take place from livestock mortalities, trade restrictions, and chronic disease. In some circumstances, this disease can similarly be a grave ...

The legalization of marijuana was only brought to effect after the drug had been tested to prove it had positive effects on a user’s health. There has been much debate about the drug’s effects on the brain, psychological health of a person and the benefits of marijuana in treating illnesses. Many people use marijuana mainly for recreational purposes. However at times, they are in pain or are suffering from an illness because of which they take the drug in order to alleviate some pain. But if the drug helps them then it is beneficial for their health, ...

It is an intersecting fact to not that to date the notion of dynamic networks refers to either one of two different concepts. First the pattern of Links, in a network topology evolves dynamically in time. Second the nodes can be individual dynamic systems coupled by static links [5, 6, 10, 22 24]. Adaptive networks are not new. Nearly all real world networks are to an extent adaptive and adaptive networks occurs in multiple disciplines today [12, 13, and 18]. What is new is that in recent years adaptive networks have become a focal point of extensive investigation using ...

Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIP v2) is a routing algorithm that is based on the Bellman-Ford algorithm. As a routing algorithm, it is used to determine the best path between two nodes on a network using distance-vector for path estimation. It makes use of hop count, which is the number of intermediate routers and gateways between a source node and a destination node, to estimate the best path with the maximum hop count put at 15 (Kalamani et al., 2014). This ensures that there are no routing loops in the network. The Bellman-Ford algorithm is based on dynamic ...

Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIP v2) is a distance-vector routing algorithm that makes use of the hop count as metric for routing (Archana, 2015). The hop count is simply a path between a source and destination, which simply could be the number of intermediate routers, bridges or gateways between the source and the destination. A maximum of 15 hops is allowed in RIP v2, placing a limitation on the size of networks that can be supported by the protocol. The Bellman-Ford algorithm determines the shortest path to a destination using the principle of relaxation where the correct distance ...

You are required to simulate the behavior of a packet switching network inside the laboratory. The creation of a network will require using the packet and link editors; defining the collected statistics; and learning new Kernel procedures. Some other benefits that will be derived from the lab include learning the principles of model design; becoming familiar with the node and process models; learning how the node and process models function within a network model; carry out parametric studies of various statistics. The performance of a simple packet switching network is measured by the end-to-end delay experienced by traffic on ...

Question One

System An estimate of between 200 to 1000 migrants and homeless people has set camp “along the railroads tracks west of Quincy, FL, and South of US 90.” The camp in question sits on a ground that is susceptible to tornadoes. Specifically, the ground is marshy coupled with the fact that it has been “in the path of several tornadoes” in the past. The underlying problem is that the evacuation plan and other emergency response mechanisms might not be effective in the event of an emergency. This potential failure is attributable to the fact that the camp residents might ...

Introduction

OPNET Modeler can be used in order to create and analyze network models; therefore, it can do organizational scaling to deal with a specific ‘what if’ problem. In addition, use of Project Editor is necessary in order to create a small network, gather and collect statistics about network effectiveness and performance, run a network simulation, and analyze the received results and statistics. Moreover, designing a new network can be made easier if a group of several scenarios is combined in order to explore different network aspects. In this lab report not only Loads and Delays on the first floor ...

Computer Networks

When two or more processing are connected together either to share any resource like printer, data exchange or electronic communication, it is called a network. There are many different ways in which the computers and devices can be connected to each other in the network including cables, radio waves, infrared, satellites, etc (Tanenbaum 1). There are two possible types of networks; peer to peer and server based which is mostly called client-server network. In peer to peer network, computers are connected in a group for the purpose of sharing data/ information, and resources. There is no controller or a ...

Visualization tools

Data is very important in the modern world because information is the most valuable asset in the society. Most of the useful information can be found online and can be used in any of the visualization tools so that the display can be good. The information is exchanged through the Internet and people can use a variety of information that is available for the people who know how to look for them. Designers are constantly developing new and interesting tools which are helping certain data become noticeable and beat the competition. There are Charts.js, which are simple to use ...

Decision-making is a cognitive process that aims at selecting a course of action that is best among several alternative possibilities. Every decision that is made ends up producing a final choice that may or may not prompt an action (Kohlen et al., 2015). The decision-making process should be logical if the best alternative option is to be arrived at. During the decision-making process, a nurse manager must weigh both the positive and negative alternatives associated with each available option before arriving at the best decision. Consequently, a nurse manager must also be in a position to forecast the outcome ...

Breast cancer is a kind of cancer developing from breast cells. It involves abnormal breast cells growth and, in serious stages, can invade into other parts of the body (World Health Organization 1). The majority of breast cancer cases occur in women, however men can have breast cancer as well. National Cancer Institute reports that 232 340 female breast cancers and 2 240 male breast cancers occur in the USA each year, as well as 39 620 people die from this disease annually (Nordqvist 1). Breast cancer is more common in the developed countries. As for more statistics, in ...
