Access Chapter 4 Mid-Level 1 – Hotel Chain

Exp19 Access Ch04 ML1 Hotel Chain 1.0

  

Project Description:

You are the general manager of a large hotel chain. You track revenue by categories, such as conference room rentals and weddings. You want to create a report that shows which locations are earning the most revenue in each category. You will also create a report to show you details of your three newest areas: St. Paul, St. Louis, and Seattle.

     

Start Access. Open the downloaded   Access file named Exp19_Access_Ch4_ML1_Rewards. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename. Save the file to the   location where you are storing your files.

 

Select   the Members table, and create a   Multiple Items form. Save the form as Maintain Members.

 

In   Layout view, change the MemNumber label to MemID   and use the Property Sheet to reduce the MemNumber column width to 0.6″.

 

Change   the widths of the LastName, FirstName, City, and Phone fields to 1.25″; change the width of the State and Zip   fields to 0.75″;   and change the width of the Address field to 1.75″.   Delete the form icon (the picture next to the title of the form) in the Form   Header.

 

Change   the sorting order of the MemberSince control so that the members who joined   most recently are displayed first.

 

Click   the LastName field and change the   control padding to Wide. (Hint:   Search Control Padding in the Tell me box). Save and close the form.

 

Select   the Revenue query, and create a   report using the Report Wizard. Include all fields in the report and add   grouping first by City and then by   ServiceName. Add a Sum to the Revenue field and select   the Summary Only option. Select Outline Layout and name the report Revenue by City and Service.

 

Scroll   through all the pages to check the layout of the report while in Print   Preview mode. Close Print Preview. Switch to Layout view, and delete the NumInParty and PerPersonCharge controls.

 

Select   the result of the aggregate sum function for the city’s revenue. Change the   font size to 12; change the font   color to Dark Blue, Text 2; and   change the background color of the control to Yellow.

 

Change   the sort on the report, so that it sorts by city in descending order—that is, so that the last city   alphabetically (St. Paul) is displayed first.

 

Examine   the data in the report to determine which city (of these three: St. Paul, St.   Louis, or Seattle) has the highest Sum of event revenue. You will use this   information to modify a query. Save and close the report. Modify the Totals   by Service query so the criteria for the City field is the city you   determined had the highest sum of event revenue (St. Paul, St. Louis, or   Seattle). Run, save, and close the query.

 

Create   a report using the Report tool based on the Totals by Service query. Name the   report Targeted City.   Close the report.

 

Close   all database objects. Close the database and then exit Access. Submit the   database as directed.

Advanced Operating Systems Project

CSE 461 Project I

The first part of this project requires that you implement a class that will be used to simulate a disk drive. The disk drive will have numberofblocks many blocks where each block has blocksize many bytes. The interface for the class Sdisk should include :

Class Sdisk
{
public :
Sdisk(string diskname, int numberofblocks, int blocksize);
int getblock(int blocknumber, string& buffer);
int putblock(int blocknumber, string buffer);
int getnumberofblocks(); // accessor function
int getblocksize(); // accessor function
private :
string diskname;        // file name of software-disk
int numberofblocks;     // number of blocks on disk
int blocksize;          // block size in bytes
};

An explanation of the member functions follows :

  • Sdisk(diskname, numberofblocks, blocksize)
    This constructor incorporates the creation of the disk with the “formatting” of the device. It accepts the integer values numberofblocks, blocksize, a string diskname and creates a Sdisk (software-disk). The Sdisk is a file of characters which we will manipulate as a raw hard disk drive. The function will check if the file diskname exists. If the file exists, it is opened and treated as a Sdisk with numberofblocks many blocks of size blocksize. If the file does not exist, the function will create a file called diskname which contains numberofblocks*blocksize many characters. This file is logically divided up into numberofblocks many blocks where each block has blocksize many characters. The text file will have the following structure :
    Bytes 0 – blocksize-1Block 0Bytes blocksize – 2*blocksize-1Block 1Bytes 2*blocksize – 3*blocksize-1Block 2……Bytes ?-?Block numberofblocks-1
  • getblock(blocknumber,buffer)
    retrieves block blocknumber from the disk and stores the data in the string buffer. It returns an error code of 1 if successful and 0 otherwise.
  • putblock(blocknumber,buffer)
    writes the string buffer to block blocknumber. It returns an error code of 1 if successful and 0 otherwise.

IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES : It is essential that your software satisfies the specifications. These will be the only functions (in your system) which physically access the Sdisk. NOTE that you must also write drivers to test and demonstrate your program.

Dissertation – Journal Reflection on Topic Ideas

Note : Please read and write homework 1 and 2

Home work:1

 Share your topic idea(s) here. Here are some things to consider:

  1. Identify a topic in your specialization. (For IT students, Information Technology is not a topic, however, Millennial’s perceptions of smart phone technology could be a topic. These are examples).  
  2. What is the cited problem? The problem you want to address has to come from the literature, and be cited, who are saying there are problems.
  3. What is the population you would like to address?
  4. What methodology are you planning on using? (If you are unsure, do you plan on a quantitative or qualitative study?  You will determine your methodology in 839).
  5. Locate at least one article related to your topic. What was the research question in the study? Who were the participants in the study? What findings were reported?

Share your topic idea(s) by going to the “Week 1 Assignment – Journal Reflection on Topic Ideas” link above. 

Homework 2:Please fill attached timeline and I will fill up dates 

Completion of the dissertation primarily rests upon you, the doctoral student. However, research indicates that self-regulated learning strategies predict the elapsed time along the dissertation journey (Dunn & Rakes, 2015; Kelley & Salisbury-Glennon, 2016). One such strategy is the creation of a timeline. This cyclical process has the learner plan out a task, monitor their performance along major milestones, reflect on their progress, and then use the reflection to adjust the timeline. However, to be effective, this strategy needs to be personalized for each learner’s purpose (Zimmerman, 2002).

Using the attached template as a guide, you are to create such a timeline – a roadmap, if you will, along your dissertation journey. Incorporated within the timeline are major milestones. Build into the timeline goals for each milestone with specific dates. You may also want to include specific contact information as well as possible obstacles that may arise. This will be a tool you will bring to each consultation with your professor/chair. Most importantly, it is to be a useable point of reference along your dissertation journey.

Research questions – qualitative

  

Topic: Enhancing Cyber Security In Healthcare -With The Help Of Machine Learning

Questions

What kind of study has been done on machine learning’s application in healthcare?

What are the primary areas of machine learning’s benefits in terms of healthcare security?

What role does machine learning play in improving patient outcomes?

Who is making use of machine learning?

When and how does machine learning come into play?

Overview: Using the topic and research question above, you will design a qualitative instrument that could potentially answer your topic/research question if it were to be applied to a qualitative study. Keep in mind, this may take some stretching if you wrote your question leaning quantitatively. The purpose here is not to box you in but to ensure that you have a solid understanding of both methodologies.

Directions:

Your research question in the form of a qualitative question (if it was not already).

An instrument or protocol (interview, ethnography, focus group protocol, etc) that could be used to answer the qualitative version of your research question.

A one paragraph description/justification of how your chosen instrument/protocol is the best choice for answering the qualitative version of your research question.

500 words. APA format required with references.

blockchain devlopment

 

choose two aspects of enterprise blockchain governance presented in chapter 10 and describe how you think each one could help govern a blockchain environment (and how it differs from a traditional application environment.) Then think of three questions you’d like to ask.

choose a security threat from Chapter 11. Then describe the impact of the chosen threat if it would be realized in a blockchain environment, and what you can do to mitigate the threat. Then think of three questions you’d like to ask 

personas

 

Objective: System Design / User requirements will be conducted using the persona template found in the Ch. 10-Personas slides (Ch10-Personas.pdf

Actions) to create 2 distinct personas. When designing systems, it is important to give conscientious thought to who your users are and how they will use the system. In particular, you will want to pay attention to the new functionality / design that your users will interact with. Although the template provided is available, feel free to use your own creativity in this space and you are not required to go with this format.

Format: MS Word Document with embedded personas and short descriptions for each persona.  (Links to an external site.)

Note: Single PowerPoint slides can be exported as JPG/PNG, which are easily uploaded to CI Learn. Feel free to use https://xtensio.com/user-persona/ (Links to an external site.) or the included template (Files -> Term Project -> Requirements

Actions Gathering) to create your personas. 

Tips

Tip 1: Constructing personas is a requirements gathering exercise, similar to Blog 2. Meaning, you want to identify who your users are, what their needs are and how your design can satisfy those needs.

Tip 2: Identify 2 different types of users for your system. My goal is to redesign SocialXYZ, so I might create a persona to represent a Student and another to represent an Instructor. I do this because these two users will likely have different needs for my system.

Tip 3: Make your personas as close to your target demographic as possible. Remember, the persona is not a single user but an archetype, or representation of many users who share similar needs. In my case, I might want to target a traditional college junior, who I named Mack Stringer, who is 21, lives on campus and is a Computer Science major. 

Tip 3: Next, you will want to flesh out your persona so it appears as a generalized, but specific user of your system, with goals and background information that directly link to the goals and background of your system. For example, Mack, may use social networking technologies such as Facebook, Instagram and Snap, but has never used them for professional or academic reasons. However, Mack sees that it may be useful to find other users who are working part-time and are CS majors. Therefore, he might want to use SocialXYZ to initiate study groups or attend CS seminars. 

Tip 4: The final Box, labelled Project Goals, are specific design considerations you make that meet the needs of your persona. In my example, I want to redesign SocialXYZ to incorporate geolocation services to allow Mack to locate other CS majors on campus.
