Discuss post

 

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 500–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Reflections on the Review of the Literature

Focus your discussion on the following:

  • Although what you complete for the Research Prospectus is a literature review plan and not a literature review itself, what is the purpose of a literature review for a research study?
  • Why is it important, prior to beginning your literature search, that you have a well-reasoned sense of what types of sources you are seeking (e.g., topical areas, key concepts, theoretical literature, empirical studies)?
  • How do you know if a source is scholarly?
  • How do you know if a source is peer-reviewed?
  • Based on your discipline and concentration, what academic databases available to you in the CTU Library are likely to lead you to relevant peer-reviewed literature?

NETWORKING case study

Your instructor will assign you to a group. Within your group you can set up a group WebEx, chat, skype, or other communication tool to determine how best to complete this case study. Each person will contribute to the collaboration portion to complete this case study. Include the Names of each member on your team and a brief description as to how they participated.

Active participation is expected, but the quality, not the quantity, is the key to creating a successful collaborative learning environment for everyone. Instructional approaches for this course are highly interactive and experiential.

Scenario/Summary

Your boss has just heard about some nefarious computer activities called ping sweeps and port scans. He wants to know more about them and what their impact might be on the company. Write a description of what they are, and include your assessment of whether the activities are something to worry about or not.

You will submit your answers as a single paper from the team. Include the Names of each member on your team and a brief description as to how they participated.

Returns True after converting the image to monochrome.

All plug-in functions must return True or False. This function returns True

because it modifies the image. It converts the image to either greyscale or

sepia tone, depending on the parameter sepia.

If sepia is False, then this function uses greyscale. For each pixel, it computes

the overall brightness, defined as

0.3 * red + 0.6 * green + 0.1 * blue.

It then sets all three color components of the pixel to that value. The alpha value

should remain untouched.

If sepia is True, it makes the same computations as before but sets green to

0.6 * brightness and blue to 0.4 * brightness.

Parameter image: The image buffer

Precondition: image is a 2d table of RGB objects

Parameter sepia: Whether to use sepia tone instead of greyscale

Precondition: sepia is a bool

“””

# We recommend enforcing the precondition for sepia

# Change this to return True when the function is implemented

height = len(image)

width = len(image[0])

for row in range(height):

for col in range(width):

pixel = image[row][col]

pixel.red = int(0 * 0.3)

pixel.green = int(1*0.6)

pixel.red = int(2*0.1)

pixel.red+pixel.green+pixel.blue

Elon-Musk donated $10 million to a foundation called the Future of Life Institute.  The institute published an open letter from an impressive array of AI experts who call for careful research into how humanity can reap the benefits of AI “while avoiding its pitfalls.”  Go online and find out about the institute’s initiatives.  

1. What are its primary goals?  

2. How can humans establish and maintain careful oversight of the work carried out by robots?  

3. How valid are Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Stephen Hawking’s concerns?  

4. What ETHICAL concerns should the public bear in mind as the technological revolution advances?
