Q1. The purpose of this assignment is to examine the components of a research article and help you identify guidelines for conducting critical analyses of published works.  Read the following article:

Rumrill, Fitzgerald, S., & Ware, M. (2000). Guidelines for evaluating research articles.  Work (Reading, Mass.),  14(3), 257–263.

Please use the article to answer the below questions: 

• What is an Information Technology Project?
• Identify & explain the major parts of a research paper.
• Explain the difference(s) between qualitative vs quantitative research methods.
• Why use Peer Reviewed journals?
• Why are keywords used during the Literature Review process?
• Why are project deliverables, limitations & deadlines an important aspect of project development?
• Why use/apply APA Basic Citation Stiles in your writing assignments/research?
• Why is Academic Integrity important (see syllabus)?
• Explain the difference between plagiarism vs self-plagiarism?

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: 

• Use at least three – five (3 – 5) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format.

There is no specific page limit for this assignment. Just try to justify the answer with reasonable word limit. May be 5-6 pages maximum. 

Q2. Identify and explain a specific business process. How might this process be automated with mobile technologies? How might it be completely redesigned? 2-3 Pages Maximum in APA format.

Need in 1 hour

You need to submit a detailed lab report, to describe what you have done and what you

have observed. You also need to provide explanation to the observations that are interesting or surprising.

Please also list the important code snippets followed by explanation. Simply attaching code without any

explanation will not receive credits.

Go online and search for information that relates to ethical hacking (white hat or gray hat hacking). Choose one of these areas explain why a company might benefit from hiring someone to hack into their systems.

Your assignment should be 3-4 paragraphs in length.

With Apa citation and 5 sentences for each question

1. What was one cause in the delay in the completing of the Denver Airport.
2. Why didn’t the healthcare.gov website work at first?
3. What is one characteristic of high reliability organizations?
4. Describe the potential risks of alert fatigue in EHR systems.
5. What were 2 common factors in both the Therac-25 case and the space shuttle disaster.
6. What does design for failure mean?

The final portfolio project is a three-part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper. 

Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.

Prompt 1 “Blockchain” (2-3 pages): Explain the major components of blockchain. Be sure to include how blockchain is affecting a global economy and how you see it growing in the future.

Prompt 2 “Big Data” (1-2 pages): Describe your understanding of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data used either personally or professionally. In your view, what demands is big data placing on organizations and data management technology?  How does big data affect a global economy.

Prompt 3 “Government and Policies” (1-2 pages):  Discuss the role government plays in a global economy.  Also, look at what policies are currently in place and then discussion what policies should be put in place..Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section. 

The paper needs to be approximately six to eight pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of eight to ten pages). 

Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citations to avoid plagiarism.Your paper should meet these requirements: 

• Be approximately six to eight pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. 

 Discuss in 500 words or more  federated architecture in cloud systems. Remember that this is a cloud class not a database class.  

Go online and research some tools that would be valuable in collecting both live memory images and images of various forms off media. Put together a shopping list for your manager that includes tools needed  to be purchased. Include a price if applicable.

Write your answer using a WORD document. Do your own work. Submit here. Note your Safe Assign score. Score must be less than 25 for full credit.

 This exercise is a simple extension of the word count demo: in the first part of the exercise, you’ll be counting bigrams, and in the second part of the exercise, you’ll be computing bigram relative frequencies. 

Part I: Count the bigrams Take the word count example and extend it to count bigrams. Bigrams are simply sequences of two consecutive words. For example, the previous sentence contains the following bigrams:  “Bigrams are”, “are simply”, “simply sequences”, “sequence of”, etc. Work with the sample collection Bible+Shakes.nouns on Blackboard. Don’t worry about doing anything fancy in terms of tokenization; it’s fine to continue using Java’s StringTokenizer. 

In order for this to run on a cluster, you will need to build a jar file. jar cf jar-file input-file(s) 

Questions to answer: 

1. How many unique bigrams are there? 

2. List the top ten most frequent bigrams and their counts. 

3. What fraction of all bigrams occurrences does the top ten bigrams account for? That is,  what is the cumulative frequency of the top ten bigrams? 

4. How many bigrams appear only once? 

Part II: From bigram counts to relative frequencies Extend your program to compute bigram relative frequencies, i.e., how likely you are to observe a word given the preceding word. The output of the code should be a table of values for F(Wn|Wn 1). Hint: to compute F(B|A), count up the number of occurrences of the bigram “A B”, and then divide by the number of occurrences of all the bigrams that start with “A”. 

Questions to answer: 

1. What are the five most frequent words following the word “light”? What is the frequency of observing each word? 

2. Same question, except for the word “contain”. 

3. If there are a total of N words in your vocabulary, then there are a total of N2 possible values for F(Wn|Wn-1)—in theory, every word can follow every other word (including itself). What fraction of these values are non-zero? In other words, what proportion of all possible events is actually observed? To give a concrete example, let’s say that following the word “happy”, you only observe 100 different words in the text collection.  Does this mean that N-100 words are never seen after “happy” (perhaps the distribution of happiness is quite limited?
