Worksheet: interpreting Constable’s landscapes (author Bermingham)

 

1. What other ways of interpreting Constable does Bermingham mention, and how is her approach different from them?

 

2. What are the main social and historical events and experiences relevant to understanding Constable’s landscapes?

 

3. What does Constable learn from the practice of picturesque landscape and how does he depart from it?

 

4. What are the “six footers” and what is their significance for Constable?

What is the probability of randomly selecting a z-score greater than z=0.25 from a normal distribution?

BackGround:

1) The scheduling policy is Round Rock (RR).

2) The state of the system can change at any tick (end of a tick).

3) OS decisions and actions are done only at the end of a slice. A slice is 20 ticks.

4) Tasks are generated (at any tick) with a probability p1.

5) The running task can incur an I/O event (at any tick) with a probability p2

6) The remaining execution time of a task is denoted by R3. If R3=0, the task terminates.

7) The length of an I/O event is denoted by R4. If R4=0, the I/O event is completed

Assignment Instructions:

Write a simulation of the RR scheduling policy.

Your program should use a random number generator that generates random numbers {R1,R2,R3,R4} in the range [0, 1] and augment the number as needed to get the ranges specified below.

P1=1 if R1>0.95; otherwise P1=0

P2=1 if R2>0.95; otherwise P2=0

R3∈[10,50]; R4∈[10,30].

The simulation should run for 1500 ticks and produce a screen-shot of the system throughput (number of completed tasks divided by the simulation length) and the average latency per task (in ticks).

 

Trace the path of American imperialism during the period from about 1870 to 1914 through political, military, and economic events. Why was the United States interested in expansion in these areas? Why was America building a global empire?

 

 

 

 

What were the benefits of America’s imperialistic actions for the people in these countries or areas? What were the disadvantages? How would you describe their experiences in terms of being conquered,    assimilated, or marginalized?

 

 

 

• What were the moral implications of American imperialism? How did Imperialists justify their actions? How did the Anti-Imperialists justify their position? Consider the role of race, economics, science, and religion.

 

 

 

 

• What significance did the Spanish-American War have in the development of the United States as an empire and world power?

 

 

 

 

• Do you think the United States is currently an imperialist country? Why or why not?

 

 

You have been requested to create two reports using the AdventureWorks database.

Report 1:

Products go through cost adjustments; each change in cost is detailed in the ProductCostHistory table. You have been asked to produce a report detailing these product cost changes along with the start date of each change. Rather than display the full list of products, the user will select the category and subcategory of products to display. This report uses parameters. The report will be graded based on the following:

• appropriate fields
• report layout
• grouping on correct fields
• group totals

Report 2:

Create a chart that compares total product sales for each category in the years 2002 and 2003. Provide an interpretation of the results. The interpretation must be a minimum of one paragraph (three to five well formed sentences) with no spelling or grammatical errors. Is the chart based on adequate data? Is there something lacking? Can you make meaningful deductions? Based on these results, what other data would you recommend that should be considered for further analysis? The report will be graded based on the following:

• appropriate fields
• report layout
• drilldown
• interpretation

Upon completing this lab, you will be able to

1. use parameters in reports;
2. identify the most appropriate chart format in which to present the data and create the chart; and
3. modify the chart to change chart colors and add text and arrows.
