Create a program that estimates the radio signal strength

Lab- Exercises

Lab is a modified version of Lab 4. The requirements that applied to Lab 4 also apply to Lab 7. You may
reuse the Lab 4 pseudocode and Visual Logic files, rename them and modify them to produce the Lab 7 files.

Lab Implementation Requirements

• Add a module that outputs the message: For the computer located n feet from the AP, the signal strength is: range

Where:

N = the distance from the computer to the AP (in ft, integer values, e.g., 2, 5, 100, etc.).

Range = the estimated radio signal strength, expressed as a range.

An example of an actual message is: For the computer located 10 feet from the AP, the signal strength is: 100-80%

The module requires two parameters (n and range), which are used to output the message. Call the module in the appropriate places, in the pseudocode and the Visual Logic files.

Lab Expected Submittals

1. The Visual Logic program (50%).

2. Formal pseudocode (following the book syntax, proper indentation, with variable declarations, etc.). Use Notepad++ to create the pseudocode (*.txt file) (50%).

In a wireless SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) network, the strength of the radio signal is (among others) a function of the distance between the wireless Access Point (AP) (e.g., a wireless router) and the computers wirelessly connected to the network. The longer the distance between the AP and a computer, the weaker the radio signals.

Assume that the wireless SOHO network is based on the IEEE 802.11g protocol, case in which the approximate maximum range between the AP and the computers is 125 ft.

Create a program that estimates the radio signal strength (%) – a range – for computers stationed at different distances (ft) from the AP. In your design use 5 distance zones, and proportionally assign to them signal strength ranges (%). For example, for a computer situated 10 ft away from the AP, the estimated radio signal strength would be 100 – 80%.

Program Inputs:

• The distance from the computer to the AP (in ft, integer values, e.g., 2, 5, 100, etc.).

Program Outputs:

• The estimated signal strength (%) – a range.

Program requirements:

• The program must implement at a minimum three modules (or more if needed)

• During a single run, the program must be able to process multiple inputs.

• The prompt for data input is user-friendly (i.e., the user of the program does not see the program’s variable names).

• Given that it is unknown how many data inputs the user will provide to the program, upon start, display a message letting the user know how to terminate the current execution of the program.

• The program must display a title on the Visual Logic’s console.

• Program outputs are displayed on the Visual Logic’s console – one line after another, with user-friendly labels.

Expected Submittals

3. The Visual Logic program (50%).

4. Formal pseudocode (following the book syntax, proper indentation, with variable declarations, etc.). Use Notepad++ to create the pseudocode (*.txt file) (50%).

IMPORTANT NOTE 1: If your Visual Logic code uses compound Boolean operators, make sure you read the TIP on page 26, in the Visual Logic book.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2: Test your program with multiple distance values, to insure that the outputs (the corresponding signal strength ranges) are correct. In your design you must consider which signal strength value the program will display, when the distance between a computer and the AP is longer than 125 feet.

Discussing the concepts of employee health

Employee Health, Safety and Security are important in the healthcare workplace. Healthcare providers must protect their employees but also their patients from the hazards in the workplace.

3. Examples of programs employed to create healthy, safe and secure work environments.

Support your position by citing the text or other researched sources. Be sure to identify all sources.

Be sure to:

1. Present your easy in the proper essay format for an academic exercise.
2. Submit an essay free of spelling errors and use correct grammar.
3. Support your conclusion with examples or cite researched sources.

Explain knowledge management behaviors

Consider the following research model that aims to explain knowledge management behaviors (knowledge collection, knowledge contribution, moderating behaviors, and knowledge utilization) in online communities of practice. The model builds on a study by Bateman et al. (2011), which defines continuance commitment, affective commitment, and normative commitments as three types of commitments exhibited by members of online communities of practice based on factors related to need, affect, and obligation respectively. In the research model, antecedents of each of these behaviors have been proposed. The provided Assignment-4.csv file has the associated data set with 449 observations (including some missing observations). Using SAS procedure PROC CALIS, perform (a) confirmatory factor analysis of the measurement model and (b) analysis of relationships between constructs (hypotheses), i.e. structural model analysis. Compile a detailed data analysis report (analogous to “Data Analysis” section in a journal article).

Discuss about the age discrimination in employment act

Terminating and Downsizing” Please respond to the following:

Choose two (2) factors from those discussed in the textbook that may cause a possible breach of an implied contract. Suggest two (2) strategies that an employer may use to avoid these possible breaches from occurring. Justify your response.

Select two (2) of the following acts: National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act,

Reduction in Force (Age), Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA). Determine two (2) major challenges that each of the selected acts may cause within an organization, and then outline a plan to prevent the challenges from adversely affecting the organization or employees. Justify your response.

Describe any sources of risk or uncertainty in its operation

Managerial Decision Making Research and Analysis-

Research a specific company of your choice and identify some of the managerial decisions that were made over time and in response to changes in its market or competitive environment. At least three external scholarly sources must be used in addition to the textbook.

Address all of the following areas:

Describe the company and provide a brief history of its operations. Find or use graphs to illustrate its financial performance over the years.
Describe any sources of risk or uncertainty in its operations. Do the financial reports indicate risky or uncertain activities or changes to the economic environment that ultimately appear to have affected the company’s financial outcomes? Be specific.
Are there any government regulations that have affected this company’s operations domestically or abroad? Explain.
Describe the inputs that are used in this company’s production function and identify any challenges to securing these inputs.
Determine if the company has introduced new products in existing markets or created new markets over time. What is the impact on its finances?
Determine if the price of its products increased or declined over time and analyze the reasons for price fluctuations. Study the demand elasticity for its products and discuss the availability of close substitutes for its products. How does that affect pricing decisions?
