I attached the actual lab as well with the tables.

1. Asteroid number ___2___

3. Find the rotation period of the asteroid by multiplying the time between successive minima by two. Remember, the entire light curve consists of two maxima and two minima.Period (in days)______.

5. Either import a picture of your sketch into the answer box or submit the sketch of figure 1 by iCollege email (scanned or photographed image).

6.If your asteroid’s axis of rotation were perpendicular to its orbital plane and if you were standing on its equator, approximately how long would it be between sunrise and sunset?

7. Assuming the variation is due only to the changing aspect of the asteroid’s shape, how many times brighter is the asteroid when viewing the long side as opposed to when viewing the short side? To measure the asteroid’s brightness use the horizontal line in the light curve. Just drag and drop it on any of the maxima or minima you wish to measure and read the “Intensity” displayed at the right of the graph.

Measure the intensity of the highest maximum and the lowest minimum and use those to find your answer.

8. If the reflected brightness is directly proportional to the area seen, how many times larger is the long axis to the short?

9. Minimum 1 ______Minimum 2 ______ Ratio of albedoes ________

10. Maximum 1 ______Maximum 2 ______ Ratio of albedoes ________

11. Measure the relative distances between the Earth, the asteroid and the Sun. Calculate how many times fainter or brighter the asteroid is at A than at B.______ times fainter or brighter. Indicate in your answer if the asteroid is fainter or brighter.

12. Calculate the value of R for each of the three asteroids listed in table 1.

13. Thus Eros’ observed diameter was about _____.

14. Compare this value to the average radius determined from the albedo measurements and comment.

15. From measurements we know that Eros 1.5 times longer than it is wide. Account for the differences between these two values

Research Assignment #1 (Due on Thursday, 2/4/16 at 12:00pm via Bb only)

“What is Industrial Engineering?” Essay

Assignment Summary:

Your assignment is to write a single-page essay about “What is Industrial Engineering?” It must be wordprocessed,

single-spaced and at most one page (no more, no less). Also, you must have a margin size of 1 inch

on all sides (i.e., where the top, left and rights sides are even) of your submitted assignment. Occasionally,

your article may not fully reach the bottom margin due to the writing of your essay; thus, if this occurs, you

must not leave more than a 1.5” margin at the bottom in any case. If necessary, write a longer essay! Font

size must be 12 pt and the font type should be Times New Roman for this assignment.

The entire essay must be composed of three paragraphs (again, no more, no less) and these should discuss the

following information:

 (Paragraph 1) What is engineering? What is industrial engineering (IE)? What’s involved in the field of

IE? What educational background is needed for IE?

 (Paragraph 2) What are the various disciplines involved with industrial engineering? What work can

you do in the field? Why is it an important field? What kind of careers can one have in IE?

 (Paragraph 3) Why are you interested in industrial engineering? What motivated you to study IE?

What goals do you have for your career in IE? What do you hope to accomplish once you graduate?

To assist you in completing this assignment, you may use 1-2 references/sources. These can be journal

articles, webpages, books, etc. At the top of the second page, please write the following information:

Name: John Doe

Class: IEGR 204.002

Date: 2/4/16

Assignment: IE Essay

Next, a proper bibliographic reference MUST appear next (under your information) on this second

page. Although many reference styles exist, the only style that will be accepted in this class is the APA-style as

shown demonstrated on the next page.

APA formatting:

First Author’s Last Name, First Initial. Middle Initial., & Second Author’s Last Name, First Initial. Middle Initial.

(year of publication). Title of the article with only the first letter of the first word in title or sub-title as well as

proper nouns and acronyms are capitalized. Name of Journal in Italics, volume in italics (issue number in

parenthesis and not in italics if known), first page number-last page number.

APA Example:

Pitts, Jr., R.A., & Ventura, J.A. (2009). Scheduling manufacturing cells using Tabu Search. International Journal

of Production Research, 47(24), 6907-6928.

Additional formatting can be found at the Purdue OWL website at

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/06/ and click the appropriate “Reference List” item on the

left column for the type of source you are using. Be sure that this is done EXACTLY as shown, or you will lose

points for a missing comma or period… or even if you forget to italicize the periodical or book title, etc.

Formatting is a very important element when putting together your write-up in research.

FINAL NOTES:

 Remember to be sure your Bear Necessity Card (BNC) is activated at the library if doing any off-campus

searching! This was discussed in yesterday’s class (on 1/28/16).

 The article MUST be submitted via Bb from the assignment link, but NOT as an email. In other words,

DO NOT SEND THE ASSIGNMENT VIA MSU EMAIL nor the Bb email system! The assignment will not be

graded or accepted if sent as any type of email attachment for this assignment. NO EXCUSES.

 Please submit the assignment on-time to maximize your grade, as this will serve as your first research

assignment grade worth 7% of your overall grade. NO LATE ASIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

The government has defined health literacy as “The degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions” (Healthy People 2020, 2011). Scholars have demonstrated that health literacy skills are stronger predictors of health status than age, income, employment status, education level, and race or ethnicity. Individuals with inadequate health literacy often struggle with basic tasks when managing a chronic condition such as reading and comprehending prescription bottles, appointment slips, self-management instructions, and educational brochures. The problems are compounded when the individual has several conditions requiring different medications. Inadequate health literacy can be a barrier to controlling disease that can lead to medication errors, increased hospitalization, poor health outcomes, and greater health care costs.

For this Discussion, review this week’s learning resources, including the media “Health Literacy.” As you review the resources, consider the differences between health literacy and literacy. Then consider the populations who could be at risk for health related problems due to low health literacy levels, as well as how you might consider varying health literacy levels in your public health campaign.

References:
Healthy People 2020. (2011). Retrieved from http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/default.aspx

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4, submit a 750-1000 word Discussion post to address the following:

• Provide an example that illustrates the difference between literacy and health literacy.
• Describe one potential health-related consequence to low health literacy and a population at risk for this potential consequence, explaining why they are at risk.
• Explain two ways the information provided in the media and resources may impact the development of your public health campaign and why.

There are numerous professionals within the health care industry. It is imperative that organizations hire the right people for the right job and remove employees when the situation requires it. For this assignment, respond to the following in 5–6 written pages:

• Identify 4 types of health care professionals found in a typical acute-care hospital. Be sure to describe educational levels and credentialing requirements of the professions you discuss.
• Explain why it is important for organizations to effectively screen potential employees.
• Discuss the concept of progressive discipline and the importance of effective termination procedures.

Your assignment should be 5 written pages, excluding cover page, abstract page, and reference page.

Note: Use APA style to cite at least 5 scholarly sources from the last 5 years.
