he story of Violet Evergarden, written by Kana Akatsuki, takes its viewers through a story of tragedy, hardship, and community of a recovering solder in thirteen episodes. The provided series shows the difficulties and challenges soldiers encounter when returning home after the Great War, much like World War I. One character, Violet, is a young female soldier who recently returned from war. In the past, she was utilized as a fighting machine raised for that purpose, and that purpose only. She had no emotions throughout her drafted time and did not understand people deeply. Following her service, she gained employment as an auto memory doll, much like a typographer. From this employment, she regained the use of her emotions through mentorships and friendships. This resulted in her becoming a highly requested person in her field. Violet was a child soldier in the Great War and was raised to fight and die for her cause. She was relieved of active duty following her hospitalization after her aquatint, Mr, Hodgin’s pulled some strings to have her discharged. Hodgin’s assisted Violet in finding a job due to his respect for his past friend and her mentor, Major Gilbert. She finally settles on becoming an auto memory doll, someone who writes for others. From her years of being a soldier, violet had become numb to her emotions. Because of the need for an auto memory doll to understand the client’s emotions, she thought this would be a good area of employment. While working as an auto memory doll for a foreign diplomat, she suffered a great loss of both of her prosthetic arms during an attack. While recovering, Violet learned of the prior death of her mentor Major Gilbert. At this time, she falls into a state of denial and has difficulty accepting this news.it is with the support of a friend that she can accept his death and move forward in her life and become a highly recommended person in her field. After experiencing all of these tragedies, she can regain her emotions. Kana Akatsuki uses Violet to exhibit the worst-case scenario of the experiences of a soldier coming back from war. This is exemplified by her being a child soldier and the loss of her arms in action. These experiences resulted in her losing her emotions. Ms. Akatsuki’s portrayals of soldiers struggling with the aftermath of war are vividly explained. The mental problems and stress of losing one’s arms would cause one a great deal of distress, with having to relearn how to live one’s daily life. In episode one, Violet awakes in the hospital after a battle that costs her arms. I could only assume what uncertainty was coursing through her mind due to becoming reliant on others. How does one previously trained to be self-reliant now become dependent upon others? Even though she has been groomed out of emotions, she would undoubtedly feel despair. In episodes two through seven, Violet has a difficult time adjusting to civilian life. His work offers her the opportunity to grow through communication with others, resulting in new friendships. Upon learning of Major Gilbert’s death in episode eight, I feel that Violet expresses raw emotion for the first time in the series. Now understanding what loss is, Violet has a whole new outlook on life. She takes further job assignments, but she has a different tone in her writing as she expresses greater compassion towards others. During episodes eleven through thirteen, Violet gets thrown back into her life as a soldier. Because of her new understanding of emotions, she refuses to kill others to prevent inflicting that pain upon others. This was the first sign, in my opinion, that she was thinking about her actions and the effects they would have on other characters’ lives. For example, if she kills this character, his family will go through the same pain she did when she learned that Gilbert had died. This is a true sign of compassion. In episode 13, Violet attends an air show where she writes a letter to the Major explaining all she had learned. He wanted most for her to be a normal girl, and she expressed in the letter how she had done that. I feel like this is where she shows just how much she has grown personally and how she has adjusted to her new life. Ms. Akatsuki uses a great deal of symbolism to give the viewer a clear and decisive point of view into Violet’s life. At the beginning of the story, Ms. Akatsuki gave the viewers just enough information about Violet without spoiling the whole story. She slowly eases the viewers into the plot to allow just how difficult Violet’s life is, to truly sink into the mind of the audience. Throughout the show, the viewer becomes familiar with different characters, both young and old. I believe that Ms. Akatsuki took the time to match the voice actors with their characters. For example, the voice of Violet sounds like she is very unsure of herself while at the same time having a disciplined tone. Major Gilbert's voice actor has a kind and heartwarming tone. He sounds like someone who truly was invested in others’ well-being, someone who would take Violet in. The other characters follow these examples no matter how small their part is and that makes this story more engaging. The story of Violet Evergarden is one of hardship, tragedy, and a community. Portrayed by a true literary genius, Kana Akatsuki. This story takes its viewers through a roller coaster of emotions and draws them deeper into the story. Through the eyes of a Great War soldier. Violet, a child soldier, goes through a transformation from a once lacking emotional character, to an auto memory doll that writes for others. Where she conveys other emotions onto paper. It is through community, friendship, and healing that Violet follows a path to recovery. One that made her face many trials and allowed her to become a renowned person in her field.

ooking at how likely a given email is to be spam based on the words it contains. In particular, in this problem we’re going to count how often words are present in spam emails within some set of training data (which here means a set of emails that have already been marked as spam or not spam manually). We have already started to write a function spam_score(spam_file, not_file, word), which takes in two filenames, along with a target word (a lowercase string). Both filenames refer to text files which must be in the same directory as hw07.py (we’ve provided several such files in hw07files.zip). The text files contain one email per line (really just the subject line to keep things simple) - you can assume that these emails will be a series of words separated by spaces with no punctuation. The first file contains emails that have been identified as spam, the second contains emails that have been identified as not spam. Since you haven’t learned File I/O yet, we’ve provided code that opens the two files and puts the data into two lists of strings (where each element is one line - that is, one email). You then must complete the function, so that it returns the spam score for the target word. The spam score is an integer representing the total number of times the target word occurs across all the spam emails, minus the total number of times the word occurs in not-spam emails. Convert all words to lowercase before counting, to ensure capitalization does not throw off the count.

hin a free demo session as I have my answers, but just want to confirm them, that would be greatly appreciated. Question 1: A block of mass M = 0.10 kg is attached to one end of a spring with spring constant k = 100 N/m . The other end of the spring is attached to a fixed wall. The block is pushed against the spring, compressing it a distance x = 0.04 m . The block is then released from rest, and the block-spring system travels along a horizontal, rough track. Data collected from a motion detector are used to create a graph of the kinetic energy K and spring potential energy Us of the system as a function of the block's position as the spring expands. How can the student determine the amount of mechanical energy dissipated by friction as the spring expanded to its natural spring length? Question 2: The Atwood’s machine shown consists of two blocks connected by a light string that passes over a pulley of negligible mass and negligible friction. The blocks are released from rest, and m2 is greater than m1. Assume that the reference line of zero gravitational potential energy is the floor. Which of the following best represents the total gravitational potential energy U and total kinetic energy K of the block-block-Earth system as a function of the height h of block m1? Question 3: A 2 kg block is placed at the top of an incline and released from rest near Earth’s surface and unknown distance H above the ground. The angle θ between the ground and the incline is also unknown. Frictional forces between the block and the incline are considered to be negligible. The block eventually slides to the bottom of the incline after 0.75 s. The block’s velocity v as a function of time t is shown in the graph starting from the instant it is released. How could a student use the graph to determine the total energy of the block-Earth system? Question 4: A block slides across a flat, horizontal surface to the right. For each choice, the arrows represent velocity vectors of the block at successive intervals of time. Which of the following diagrams represents the situation in which the block loses kinetic energy?

bacteria). Obligatory anaerobes require absence of oxygen. You are researching how a facultative anaerobe transitions from anaerobic to aerobic respiration along the length of the human intestine (small and large intestine), where oxygen levels – and with them respiration - vary from atmospheric levels of oxygen (aerobic respiration) to no oxygen (anaerobic respiration). You grow cultures of a facultative anaerobic bacteria in flasks with different levels of oxygen that mimic the conditions in the 7.5m long human intestines and collect data on the growth rates of the bacteria (number of bacterial colonies) under the different conditions. Time food spends in the small intestine, 2.5m long, is 4 hrs. The time taken for food to pass through the entire length of the intestine is between 24 and 72 hrs. To determine oxygen levels in your flasks, you use the ratio of oxygen to nitrogen, which you vary between 0 (no oxygen) and 0.25 (atmospheric levels of oxygen). You assume that for conditions where r<0.01 your bacteria will be obligatorily anaerobic, and aerobic respiration will be observed from r=0.05. If the oxygen ratio goes from 0.25 to 0 over 7.5 m, and rO2 = 0.25 – 0.03x (x=distance along the intestine) describes the relationship between oxygen ration and the length of path travelled by the bacteria in the intestine, how long will it take bacteria to pass from the small into the large intestine? Explain how you arrived at your estimate.

Open and read the Process Improvement (Final Q 1) document which describes the process steps in words and also includes a process map as a visual tool for understanding what's going on in each step. You will need to respond to the following three sub-questions: FINAL Q1: 3 Attachments are the Q1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I need the 3 part question answered. This is everything in the question.. Understand that there is NOTHING INCOMPLETE, I have added everything that was sent to us. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ a. Of the 9 process steps in the Process Improvement (Final Q 1) document, which specific steps in that process are experiencing lean wastes and/or process cycle time issues (please note, there is more than one step experiencing issues). In your response, name the process step, and/or the transfer interface between steps, and what waste(s) or cycle time issue is involved. Be sure to use standard lean/six sigma terminology that we used in the course when referring to any of the quality concepts; e.g., transportation waste when referring to situations involving a lot of moving around from one place to another. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- b.

What changes would you institute in the process to improve the steps you cited in part b of this question and describe how those changes improves the process. Be specific about which process step(s) your improving and thoroughly describe the improvement to that step. [Note: This question ties to what you decided was important in part b question above.] Also, when answering how you would improve a given process step, assume you have an unlimited budget and personnel resources and you can do mostly anything you want as long as it doesn't violate the laws of physics or the judicial system. Be cautious though because process improvement is designed to save time, money, and resources in doing the needed work.For example, automation is good, and also potentially expensive, so is it worth it for the improvement? - you will have to be the judge of that.

Ken and Terry’s would like to undertake a corporate value-at-risk calculation based on two risk factors of cream and chocolate. They estimate the following “returns” on these inputs by the mark-up on their finished product relative to input prices. Cream is more prevalent than chocolate; it makes up 80% of the mark-up while chocolate makes up 20%. Other data they have gathered is as follows: Cream: expected return = 30% variance of return = .10 Chocolate: expected return = 20% variance of return = .06 covariance of cream and chocolate = .04 What is the largest decrease in return that Ken and Terry can expect with 99% confidence? (10 points)

he efficacy of this spending is therefore relatively important. When it comes to contagious diseases, there are generally two strategies that can be adopted. The first involves prevention, which includes vaccinations to lower or eliminate the risk of contracting a disease. The second involves treatment of those unfortunate enough to get sick, treatment typically requires some form of a drug. Since pharmaceutical companies can produce both vaccines and drugs, we would like to understand the incentives they have to develop each type of medicine. To explore this question, consider a population of 100 consumers, 90 of whom have a low disease risk, say 10%. The remaining ten have a high risk – to make things simple, assume they are certain to contract the disease. In addition, suppose the disease generates personal harm equal to the loss of $100 for each individual when they are infected. Suppose also that pharmaceuticals of either form (vaccines or drugs) are costless to produce (once R & D has occurred) and are perfectly effective Question 2. What price would a profit maximising monopolist charge for a vaccine? What are the monopoly profits on the vaccine? What is the efficient outcome (i.e. SMB = SMC)? What is the welfare under the monopoly and at the efficient allocation? Question 3.Now consider the demand for the drug (assume that the vaccine is not available). Construct the demand function for the drug and plot it on a diagram. What price would a profit maximising monopolist charge for the drug? What are the monopoly profits from the drug? What is the efficient outcome? What is the welfare under the monopoly and at the efficient allocation? Question 4. If the R&D costs of the vaccine and drug are the same, what will the pharmaceutical company do? Explain your answer in terms of the variation in the willingness to pay and the size of the R& D costs. What would a social planner do? Question 5. What are the R&D cost for the vaccine and the R&D cost for the vaccine drug that would make a pharmaceutical company indifferent between developing the vaccine and the drug? Is the social planner indifferent in this case? Explain any difference.
