Chip Harris Instructor Mathew Swiertz BIM 101 Unit 1 - Discussion Board Due: 08 September 2013 How Computer Hardware Has Evolved My father was one of the first computer hardware engineers. He joined the Air Force in 1980 and worked on all the computers that ran communications with the fighter planes. My earliest memories were of my father taking me to work and the load hum of the computers as they ran. He took me through dozens of rooms to his office and showed me a part that he had just

Cause and Effect Everyone has to make decisions on daily bases. Why? Because life is full of choices to make. Whether it is an important decision that requires careful thought and consideration or a quick decision‚ like what is for lunch. Wouldn ’t it be nice to have the knowledge about a tool or technique to help you make those important decisions? No‚ "what ’s for lunch"‚ is not an important decision. However‚ changing jobs‚ buying a car‚ planning a wedding‚ or running a business requires critical

GMOs are genetically modified organisms that are usually put in crops to make them bigger‚ tastier‚ or healthier. Though this sounds like a great idea there are extreme drawbacks. For instance GMOs are already increasing herbicide use in the U.S. by 26 percent since 1998 when the leaders of GMOs said that they would decrease herbicide use. This also means that more weeds are becoming resistant to herbicides and so GMOs are creating superweeds that are even harder to kill. With the constant spraying

Purpose: To find how pH and temperature levels affect the enzyme Background: Enzymes are a type of protein vital to sustaining life‚ it works with vitamins and minerals as a biological catalyst‚ which lowers the activation energy for a reaction to occur. Each individual type of enzyme does a specific job‚ and they do not die‚ they are reused. For example‚ catalase is an enzyme found in almost all living cells that will break down hydrogen peroxide and turn it into water and oxygen. The

ACTIVITY DIAGRAMS IN UML Activity Diagrams WHAT IS AN ACTIVITY DIAGRAM? Activity diagrams consist of activities‚ states and transitions between activities and states. Activity diagrams combine ideas from event diagrams‚ Petri nets and state modeling techniques An activity diagram is a special case of state charts in which most or all states are activity states and most or all transitions are triggered by the completion of activities in the source state. What is an Activity Diagram? The

Set Operations and Venn Diagrams " Please respond to the following: QUES: Create a story problem that demonstrates how a Venn diagram could be used to illustrate combined operation with sets. ANS: Use a Venn diagram to illustrate the following scenario: There are 40 people in a drum corp. Of the 40 people‚ 20 play the snare drum; 10 play the trumpet; 5 plays the cymbals. There are 5 people that play both the snare drum and cymbals; and 3 play all three instruments. How many people don’t play

Lesson 1 Key Questions 1. The development of MRI imaging technology is one useful spinoff of basic research into the structure of the atom. Research‚ however‚ is expensive. Many people argue that the high cost of research outweighs its potential benefits. Provide one argument for‚ and one argument against increasing current funding for atomic structure research. Use specific examples from this lesson in your answer to support

more Americans are becoming worried about the use of Genetically Modified Organisms in their food. The controversy of the use of GMOs in food can be understood through examining how they work‚ their disadvantages‚ and their advantages. Farming has transformed so much over the years. Six thousand years ago‚ farmers had holding pens and growing fields (Shmaefsky 1). In today’s world‚ farming is not that simple. Since farming has transformed‚ larger operations are taking away a lot of the mom and pop

Genetically Modified Organisms The Human genome is known to be the sequencing of about twenty thousand five hundred thousand genes that make up our human DNA‚ or the building block that tells our cells what to do. The government created project that is named the Human Genome Project started in 1990’s‚ and is trying to pick apart at the three billion chemical base pairs in a DNA strand. The full set of the information present in the form of the genes in living organism then forms its genome

Genetically modified organisms are organisms that’s genetic material has been changed using engineering techniques. Organisms that are genetically modified include microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast‚ insects‚ plants‚ fish‚ and mammals. This alteration of the genes usually entails inserting genetic material into an organism in a laboratory without natural mating‚ breeding or reproduction. Instead of breeding two plants or animals together to bring out certain traits in the offspring‚ the plant
