Wireless and Mobile Computing: Project 3 wireless network



The performance of a WiMAX network appears to be lower expected and you suspect interference to be the cause. Write a 2 page letter to the FCC that requesting an investigation. The letter should include explanations of the following:

Test results you may have seen (spectral results taken at different points, packet retransmit requests and logs)

•        Symptoms observed (when low throughout is observed, in what direction)

•        Logical argument as to why this would indicate interference

•        A guess as to the type of interference causing the problem

You are free to invent the details as you go.

Suppose you, as the manager of boston bbq, decide you would like to include more than just number of customers to predict sales of pork sandwiches.

Suppose you, as the manager of boston bbq, decide you would like to include more than just number of customers to predict sales of pork sandwiches.

You decide to add number of discount coupons for pork sandwiches handed out in the previous week and an indicator for stores in low, middle, and high income areas as variables. You also increase the number of observations to 30 stores.

Your data gives you the following output:




a) What is the estimated regression equation?

b) Why is there no dummy variable for “High Income Areas” as there is with middle and low?


c) Is the overall model significant at the ? = .01 level? How can you tell?

d) Are each of the coefficients significant at the ? = .05 level? How can you tell (explain whether or not each coefficient is significant)?

e) How much of the variation in y is explained by our regression?


f) How many sandwiches do we predict will be sold if a store is in a middle income area, handed out 1500 coupons in the previous week, and has 464 customers?

The classical view of punishment was fueled by the notion that offenders were evil men and women who had to be punished severely or killed for their egregious acts.

The classical view of punishment was fueled by the notion that offenders were evil men and women who had to be punished severely or killed for their egregious acts.

 It was felt that the demons that possessed the offenders would never leave except by expiation and punishment.

As the influence of natural and social science grew, many individuals began to reexamine the widely accepted idea that crime resulted from demonic possession, free will, or mental imbalance. Positivists took a progressive stance and began to analyze the causes of crime and punishment.

Prepare an essay (3–4 pages) on the differences between the classical and positivist approaches to punishment.

Assignment Guidelines:

Use your course materials, the textbook, the Web resources, and the library to research the classical and positivist approaches to punishment.
In a Word document of 3–4 pages, address the following:
Identify 2 specific differences and 2 similarities between each perspective as it relates to punishment.
Examine 2 of the social arguments used to support both schools of thought.
Out of the 2 schools of thought, which do you agree with most?
Include 3 philosophical or social issues that could be used to support either model.
Reference all sources using APA style.

Interagency Collaboration and Homeland Security

Interagency Collaboration and Homeland Security






Consider, hypothetically, a small community called Plainsville, Colorado, which has a critical rail line running through it. On this line, hazardous chemicals are routinely transported en route to a neighboring community (Southtown) where they are crucial for industrial use in manufacturing a certain type of nuclear defect x-ray material that is made nowhere else in the world. The rail line was first laid in the late 1800s and has been patchily maintained over its life.

Given new priorities through Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Grant Programs and state mandates, both the Plainsville community leaders and operators of the railway are concerned with increasing vulnerabilities associated with rail transport because there is evidence of structural decline due to its age and uneven maintenance. Serious damage to, or degradation of, the line in the vicinity of Plainsville might be catastrophic with worst-case consequences including: irreparable destruction of the rail; a train derailment; a chemical spill; the creation of a hazardous environment for people, livestock, and agriculture; disruption of the industrial manufacturing in Southland; and the possible economic crippling of the entire area. Any of these components alone could result in a crisis; yet a combination of these, or if combined in totality, would be a scenario considered unimaginable by Plainsville’s leadership and emergency management personnel.

By way of background, Plainsville has a "strong" mayor, meaning she is elected by the people rather than chosen by a council, etc. Based upon DHS grant dollars that have trickled down through her state and all-hazards homeland security region, Mayor Witley has determined that a commission in the form of a short-term task force should look at the vulnerabilities associated with the rail line. The commission would take the scenario outlined above, consider its many variations, study possible consequences while articulating and researching the problem(s) and receiving testimony from experts, and then make recommendations about courses of action to prevent, mitigate, or respond to any resultant crisis.

The issues at hand for the community include the integrity of the rail line, the prevention of a hazardous spill, the safety of the citizens, and the continuity of the neighboring town’s industry. (More issues may exist, but this gets you started.)

Consider and list at least 10 potential organizations that would either provide a representative to sit on the commission or that would provide information to the commission.
When listing each partner, describe his, her, or its value to the commission and what expectations the mayor (and others) might have as to the expertise, capabilities, resources, or anything else an individual or agency might contribute.
Choose the most relevant entities or individual experts you can, and think about everything from a public safety and emergency management perspective.
Your answer may require research and properly cited references in APA format.

Assignment 1: Auditors and Regulatory Oversight

Assignment 1: Auditors and Regulatory Oversight


Due Week 4 and worth 240 points
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulates public companies. The SEC has found that some of these companies have violated GAAP by using creative accounting practices to mislead investors and creditors regarding the health of their company.
Use the Internet or Strayer Library to research a recent accounting scandal within the last five (5) years where the SEC accused public companies of accounting irregularities.
Write a four to three (4-5) page paper in which you:
1. Analyze the audit report that the CPA firm issued. Ascertain the legal liability to third parties who relied on financial statements under both common and federal securities laws. Justify your response.
2. Speculate on which statement of generally acceptable auditing standards (GAAS) that the company violated in performing the audit.
3. Compare the responsibility of both management and the auditor for financial reporting, and give your opinion as to which party should have the greater burden. Defend your position.
4. Analyze the sanctions available under SOX, and recommend the key action(s) that the PCAOB should take in order to hold management or the audit firm accountable for the accounting irregularities. Provide a rationale for your response.
5. Use at least two (2) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

 Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
   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. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
   Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student¡¦s name, the professor¡¦s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

   The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
   Analyze the required generally accepted auditing standards, professional ethics, and legal liability of the auditor.
   Assess how the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has affected auditing.
   Evaluate an audit report.
   Evaluate objectives for conducting audits, and compare management¡¦s and auditors¡¦ responsibilities.
   Use technology and information resources to research issues in auditing.
   Write clearly and concisely about auditing using proper writing mechanics.
