    Question 1 (1750 words approximately)
    A public sector organisation (a municipal local authority) with responsibility for provision of public
    transport has received a substantial central government grant to upgrade its transport infrastructure.
    After careful consideration of several options and development of a robust business case it has
    decided to invest the money in the following project over a five year period. The authority does not
    have its own in-house highways maintenance design and construction service but does have a
    highways term maintenance contract which expires half way through year 3.
    Identify the procurement and related contract strategy/ies and routes that you (as a professional
    commercial manager) would advise the client (a municipal local authority) to take, for the
    appointment of contractors to deliver the works programme. Critically analyse why you believe your
    proposal to be the most appropriate approach to procuring the works and services required for this
    project.
    The dates of proposed schemes below:
    Year 1
    Creation of ‘park and ride’ facilities on land owned by the authority in the north and east of the
    municipal area to reduce the numbers of passenger car movements into the city centre. These
    facilities will consist of a 2,000 spaces car park (with automated security barriers, CCTV and bus
    pick up and drop lanes).
    A new road bypassing the city to the north east with junctions at the park and ride facilities.
    Year 2
    Creation of bus priority measures at signal-controlled junctions along the route from each park and
    ride facilities into the city centre. These works involve minor alterations to the road layout at
    approximately 60 junctions.
    Refurbishment and expansion of the two bus garages owned by the municipality, one at each end
    of the city.
    Year 3
    Improvements to the surfacing and creation of a raised boarding area at all bus stops throughout the
    municipal area.
    Redesign and enhancement of the railway station forecourt area to increase the number of bus
    stopping bays, provide waiting facilities for passengers, provide a bicycle storage shelter and
    relocate the taxi rank.
    Year 4
    Provision of new bus shelters throughout the city following on from the surfacing and kerbing
    improvements at bus stops.
    Year 5
    Installation of on-street paper and electronic bus ticket vending machines at eight busy locations in
    the city centre, the two city hospitals, the railway station and university.
    Installation of air quality measuring stations at various locations throughout the city.

    Discussion Boards (DB) are a key component of online learning. They foster active participation of learners and dialog with fellow learners and instructors. Graduate-level courses require learners to create original posts to course DBs and to engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the course. Original posts and responses should be substantive, and if references are made to the works of others, APA guidelines for in-text citations and references apply.

  • [ANSWERED] As an instructional design consultant, you are often called on by schools and businesses to…

    As an instructional design consultant, you are often called on by schools and businesses to help make decisions about how best to present information and to create meaningful learning experiences. You have been called into a small school district to help the two instructional designers reconstruct a history course for seniors. The course is taught in both of the high schools in the district. The designers tell you that they have been given this project because the reports from principals and faculty in the district are saying that the 12th grade history course, which focuses on U.S. history during the 20th century, is dull, and that students are turned off by the content. Teachers report a morale and motivation problem among students who take the course, and that the course has developed a bad reputation among students in the school. The designers have analyzed the basic sequence of the course and have looked at the approach that lesson plans take toward the material. They tell you the following: ? Teachers are expected to present much of the information in lectures, and through the use of 35mm slides. Even though classrooms have been equipped, for the last 6 years, with Internet connections, and teachers have been trained on the use of computers in the classroom, the course has not made use of this method of instruction. ? The history textbook was published in 1995. It does not cover some of the significant events toward the end of the century. ? Students are expected to write essays and research papers for most of the assignments in the class. There is only one team assignment, coming in the last two weeks of the semester. ? The syllabus puts emphasis on the early part of the century, focusing on the depression, prohibition, and the world wars. Little time is spent on later events, such as the exploration of the moon, civil rights developments, or the growth of the Internet and computers. Students are bored with this content. There is little beyond text material to learn from.

    The economic integration in bilateral or regional agreements is touted to promote more trade and economic growth. But not all economic integration is positive for all parties. Can you point out any of the disadvantages of the economic integration with one specific example (country, company, or population how they were affected). If you can speculate about the future of the regional economic integration in the next 10 years or 25 years, which way it would go.three discussion for this topic ( 100 minimum for each discussion)

  • [ANSWERED] ?Choose a Life Stage Theory or part of a theory that is presented in your text….

    Choose a Life Stage Theory or part of a theory that is presented in your text. Develop a 3-5-page (not including the title page and bibliography or reference page) research paper presenting that theory. Include at least three academic references. Your textbook can be one of your resources but also include journal articles, additional books, and academic or appropriate internet resources.
    Include in-text citations and a bibliography or reference page. The sections and questions listed below are required for your research paper. You are not limited to just the following sections and questions but at the minimum, you should include the sections in the rubrics. Feel free to include additional sections and information in your paper. You will be graded on the detailed examination of the theory. Do not just answer questions with one or two words. You will need to elaborate or expand your answers. During the last week of the course, you will be required to submit your research paper to the discussion area for your classmates to read.
    You are required to include a bibliography or reference page with proper citation format and in-text citations for your resource material. Do not use Wikipedia or Psychology Today as a resource or reference. Neither is appropriate. Wikipedia has some good information, but it is not a secure website. I had a friend who went into Wikipedia and changed the date of something. A couple of days later, she returned to find the same date. She felt guilty so correct the date. Articles in Wikipedia are not always created by scholarly sources. Anyone can write an article to submit to Wikipedia. Wikipedia does not screen its authors and does not have to be scholarly writers. Psychology Today is a good magazine for the general public but does not provide enough information for a scholarly paper or post. As college students and secondly, psychology students, you need to use scholarly websites and published material. If you use Wikipedia or Psychology Today, you will not receive credit for any of your references, which will result in lower points for your paper.

  • [ANSWERED] Project planning is a vital part of any significant engineering undertaking….

    Project planning is a vital part of any significant engineering undertaking. As such you should
    view it as an important learning exercise and preparation for work in industry.
    A typical project planning process will carry out the following:
    • define objectives
    • list tasks;
    • estimate effort and duration to complete tasks
    • determine task interdependencies (i.e. what tasks must proceed others, or can be
    conducted at the same time)
    • schedule tasks
    • schedule resources
    • balance resources
    A project plan is a living document that should allow all participants in the project to have clear
    and common understanding of the project. As the project progresses circumstances may arise
    requiring the plan to be revised and modified accordingly. Regular review and revision of the
    project plan is a normal part of project management. Any changes to the project plan must be
    signed off by all stakeholders and updated copies distributed to all relevant personnel.
    Materials Genomics: Processing-Properties-Performance Maps for Advanced Ceramics
    There is a plethora of available data in the scientific literature that associates material processing and/or part fabrications conditions with fundamental properties. However, this data can be sparse as the intention of creating such manuscripts is that they are focused on a specific subject and may only refer to previous works in the form of discussions. Therefore, in order to use the available data as prediction tool, extensive data mining along with powerful data-visualisation techniques of the property-process-performance relationship for a range of materials and processes can be carried out. In this project, students will conduct an extensive literature survey in the area of advanced ceramics. The data to be mined will include materials (AlN, ZrB2, TiC, Si3N4 and others), additives and sintering aids, processing conditions (shaping method, particle information and sintering temperature) and resulting properties (density, structural properties and phases formed). This data will be used to develop empirical trends based on the process, properties and performance of the materials.
