 A very long charged conducting wire, of radius a = 12.0 cm, is enclosed by a concentric, conducting neutral hollow cylinder, as shown in the diagram above. The electric field is E⃗ 1�→1 = 1.60×104 N/C at b = 18.0 cm from the center of the wire and in the direction shown. What is the magnitude of the electric field at point P, a distance of c= 42.0 cm from the center of the wire?

Need help with Microsoft Access

For the Week 3 Microsoft Access Module 1 Lab Assignment, you will develop a database for the gift shop at your local science museum. Use skills/techniques/concepts learned in the Microsoft Access Module 1. HINT: The finished Lab Assignment should include: 2 tables, 1 query, 1 form, and 1 report.

Problem: The Milledgeville, Georgia, science museum operates a gift shop that sells science-related products. The gift shop purchases the products from vendors that deal in science-related games, toys, and other merchandise. Currently, the information about the items and the vendors is stored in two tables. You are to create a database that will store the item and vendor information.

Perform the following tasks:

1. Create a new blank database in which to store all data for the gift shop and save the database as LastnameFirstnameAccessLab1.accdb
2. Import the Vendor table AND the Item table from the database (Module 1 Lab Assignment.accdb) into the new blank database you created in Step 1.
3. Open the Vendor table.
   • Change the field size for the Vendor Code field to 2
   • Change the field size for the Vendor Name field to 25
   • Change the field size for the Telephone Number field to 12
   • Assign the caption VC to the Vendor Code field
   • Resize the columns to best fit the data
   • Save the changes to the table and close the table
4. Open the Item table.
   • Change the field size for the Vendor Code field to 2
   • Change the field size for the Item Number field to 4
   • Change the field size for the Description field to 28
   • Add the caption Wholesale for the Wholesale Cost field, the caption Retail for the Retail Price field, and the caption VC for the vendor code
   • The On Hand field should be an Integer field
   • Resize the columns to best fit the data
   • Save the changes to the table and close the table
5. Create a query for the Item table. Include the Item Number, Description, Wholesale Cost,
   Retail Price, and Vendor Code. Save the query as Item Query.
6. Create a form for the Item table. Save the form as Item.
7. Create a report for the Item table. Include the Item Number, Description, On Hand, and Wholesale Price. Save the report as Item Status Report.
8. Change the telephone number for Asherton Wholesalers to 999-999-9999.
9. Update the author (use your name) and title (use ‘Week 3 Microsoft Access Module 1 Lab Assignment’) in the document properties.

1. How do you describe the importance of data in analytics?

Can we think of analytics without data? Explain.

2. Considering the new and broad definition of business

analytics, what are the main inputs and outputs to the

analytics continuum?

3. Where do the data for business analytics come from?

What are the sources and the nature of those incoming

data?

Discussion1:

  Assume  that you have been tasked by your employer to develop an incident  response plan. Create a list of stakeholders for the IR planning  committee. For each type of stakeholder, provide the reasons for  inclusion and the unique aspects or vision that you believe each of  these stakeholders will bring to the committee.   ***Standard for all discussion posts:   Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least two of the following:    

• Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic 
• Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor 
• Provide extensive additional information on the topic 
• Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail

• Make an argument concerning the topic 

At  least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion  thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources  from the UC Library. Use proper citations and references in your post.  

Discussion 2:

 The seven domains of a typical IT  infrastructure include the User Domain, Workstation Domain, LAN Domain,  LAN-to-WAN Domain, WAN Domain, Remote Access Domain, and  System/Application Domain. As you’ve learned, each domain has business,  technical, and security policy challenges that affect organizations. Answer the following question(s): 

1. What is an advantage of organizing IT security policies by domain?
2. What is a disadvantage of organizing IT security policies by domain?
3. Do you think one domain is more challenging than the others as far as applying security policies? Explain your answer.

Fully address the questions in this  discussion; provide valid rationale for your choices, where applicable;  and respond to at least two other students’ views. 

Research paper:

  Submit  a report that discusses the techniques used by malware developers to  disguise their code and prevent it from being analyzed.  Give  suggestions on how these techniques should be classified and ranked in  the disaster recovery documentation and recovery plan.    ***Standard for all Research Assignments   Your paper should meet the following requirements:   

• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA7 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. The UC Library is a great  place to find resources.
• Be  clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar  and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of  your writing.

Utilizing course material and any outside research you feel will strengthen your analysis, you will be uploading your assessment of a team at work describing the type of team it is and the leadership dynamics associated with the group. Your first task is to decide if it is a true team or a work group based on our text definition. It is also permissible to analyze a team you are part of outside of a work environment.

It is important to understand group dynamics and the elements that make up high-performing teams and groups in the 21st century as we are moving to virtual working relationships for organization success. Your task is to select a group of people at work and define this collection as a work group or a team based on course theory discussed in Chapters 8–12 in our text. You will diagnosis this collection of individuals using explicit course theory and outside resources to determine what is working and not working based on organization behavior (OB) principles discussion in our course and supported by course theory. Academic rigor calls for proper APA citations and references to demonstrate your ability to apply theory to operational challenges faced at work. Typical page range is three to five pages not including cover page and reference page. Due Sunday in Week 6.

Note: Students in the past have also compared groups and teams at work and why one seems to be a better performer over another … something to consider.
