Chapter 12 – Negotiations

Initial Postings: Read and reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Then post what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in each assigned textbook chapter.Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion.

Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:

1. What are tips for negotiations within projects? What examples/situations can you share when you have been in project negotiations?

Current research in quantum encryption and address what significant impediments there are to implementing quantum encryption. The use of web and other resources and two pages in length. 

How do you know when you have included enough “intelligence” in a decision support

system? Provide 3 examples of user interfaces that support your answer.

Need about 2-3 pages with peer-reviewed references. APA formatted. Attached chapter for the week.

Note: No AI generated content. It gets filtered out in plagiarism check!

You may assign the value o to the elements in your array to initialize the elements — whether you are creating the array or appending to the array. 0 will indicate an “empty” element. • Recall, in pre-allocation, we allocate more space in memory than what is requested by the user. rows and cols are the number of rows and columns the user has requested for in their 2D matrix. For example, if rows is 10 and cols is 10, and the user appends a value such that the number of rows increase by one, then you increase rows to 11. o reserved_rows and reserved_cols are the number of rows and columns that are reserved for the user i.e. this is the capacity of your 2D array. For example, currently, the rows and reserved_rows are 10 and cols and reserved_cols are 10. If the user appends a value such that the number of rows should increase, then you increase rows to 11 and double the size of reserved_rows to 20 along with the number of rows allocated in memory for your 2D array. Review preallocation for more details. These functions would work around the following user defined data structures (see toimgr.h): /* Structure type that encapsulates our image: 2D array. * the rows represent the indices of the main array, * the cols represent the indices of the arrays pointed to by the pointers * in the elements of the main array. */ typedef struct { uint8_t** pixels; unsigned int rows; unsigned int cols; unsigned int reserved_rows; unsigned int reserved_cols; } imgr_t; /* A type for returning status codes */ typedef enum { IMGR_OK, IMGR_BADCOL, IMGR_BADROW, IMGR_BADALLOC, IMGR EMPTY } imgr_result_t; HINTS • Don’t forget to keep adding appropriate function calls to your test driver as you go along. reserved_rows should always represent the amount of memory allocated to all the row arrays in imgr_t. This means that if you doubled the length of one row, you need to do the same for all other rows. reserved_cols should always represent the amount of memory allocated to the main col array. This means that if you double your original array, you also need to double the amount of rows you have in imgr_t. TESTING: you can test your program by running: $ make to # OR gcc -Werror -Wfatal-errors -g -o to to.c toimgr.c (see Makefile) $ ./to (see? Makefiles saves your gcc command so you don’t have to type this long thing over and over again, convenient huh :D) The following is a breakdown of the tasks. REMINDER: • write comments!! Test and debug your code! Prompt the user for what they should enter by printing messages with printf , e.g. “Enter an integer: “, and let the user know what the output is by printing a message, e.g. “Here is the result: Task 01.1 REQUIREMENT: write a function in toimgr.c with the following declaration: imgr_t* imgr_create(unsigned int rows, unsigned int cols); • INPUT: the number of rows and cols of the desired array. • OUTPUT: ingr_create() returns the POINTER to a new instance of data structure imgr_t. • BEHAVIOUR: if malloc() fails (i.e. returns NULL ), imgr_create() returns NULL . o The reserved_rows and reserved_cols should be initialized to be the same as rows and cols respectively. These fields represent the capacity or the available space in your 2D array. In the front end, the user should not have to deal with this. You use them in your functions to perform preallocation. Task 01.2 REQUIREMENT: write a function in toimgr.c with the following declaration: void imgr_destroy(imgr_t* im); • INPUT: the pointer of a imgr_t variable im. • BEHAVIOUR: ingr_destroy() should free() the memory allocated to im.

The following pseudocode statement calls a function named half, which returns a value that is half that of the argument. (Assume both the result and number variables are Real.) Write pseudocode for the function.

Set results = half (number)

Consider using the frog’s species dataset (frogs_species.csv) for this discussion question. For this dataset, please do the following:

1. Describe the dataset; its main features, labels, clusters, and usage.
2. Select all features in the dataset then apply a K-means clustering algorithm with a different number of clusters.
3. Evaluate the results of each run and create a chart that visualizes the results of each number of clusters.
4. From your point of view, what is the best number of clusters and why?

Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, using at least two professional or peer-reviewed articles and cite them to support your statements. Post your initial response early and check back often to continue the discussion

Project Description:

You are enrolled in a personal finance course at a local university. One of the assignments is to write a group paper with another student about the different types of retirement plans. You and your partner conducted research on the topic and wrote a final draft of the report. In this project, you will format the paper to enhance readability. You will use track changes, accepting and rejecting them as necessary, credit sources used in the preparation of the report, address your partner’s comments, and include a table of contents and an index.

Start Word. Download and open   the file named Exp22_Word_Ch04_CumulativeAssessment_Retirement.docx.   Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the   filename. 

Ensure that the markup view is   All Markup. On the second page, reject the deletion of the word NOW. Change the view to No Markup and   ensure that the word is not duplicated, removing any additional text as   necessary so that only the word NOW is   shown at the end of the sentence.

Accept all other tracked changes   in the document and stop tracking. Keep all comments.

Change the view to Simple Markup   and ensure that document comments are shown. Change all headings as indicated   by comments in the document.

Reply to the first comment by   typing Done (do not include a period). Mark   the first two comments, related to heading styles, as resolved.

Change the writing style to APA   Sixth Edition. Apply the following formatting to all pages of the document,   except the cover page.
 

  Document is double-spaced (with the exception of the included tables).
  The first line of every paragraph includes a first-line indent of 0.5” (with   the exception of heading lines, the included tables, and bulleted lines).
  No paragraph spacing is included.

Click or position the insertion   point before the period at the end of the first sentence of the 403(b) Plans section on page 6. The   sentence ends in (TSA) plan. Insert   the following Web site citation, clicking or selecting Show All Bibliography   Fields, if necessary, to ensure access to all open areas:
  Name of Web Page: Choosing a Retirement Plan: 403(b) Tax-Sheltered   Annuity Plan
  Name of Web Site: IRS
  Year: 2023
  Month: October
  Day: 08
  URL: http://www.revenue.net/RetirementPlans/403(b)

Click or position the insertion   point before the period ending the first sentence of the 401(k) Plans section. The sentence ends with individual retirement accounts. Insert the following Web site   citation:
  Name of Web Page: 401(k) Plan
  Name of Web Site: IRS
  Year: 2022
  Month: October
  Day: 14
  URL: http://www.revenue.net/RetirementPlans/401(k)

Edit the Traditional and Roth IRAs source shown after the second table in   the document, changing the Year to 2023.

Create a blank page at the end   of the report and insert a bibliography with the title Works Cited. Edit the 401(k)   source (shown in the 401(k) section of the report), changing the Day to 15. Choose to update both the   master list and current document. Update the bibliography to reflect the   change.

Format the bibliography at   double spacing with no paragraph spacing before or after. All text in the   bibliography, including the Works Cited title, should be 12 pt Times New   Roman. The Works Cited title should be centered and shown with each word   capitalized (not in all uppercase). If necessary, click or display the Home   tab, click or select Change Case in the Font group, and select Capitalize   Each Word to change the title. Ensure that no text is bold.

Insert a blank page after the   cover page. Create a table of contents, with an Automatic Table 1 style, on   the new page. Note: Mac users, create a Classic style table of contents.

Insert a page break before the   second table, so that the entire table is shown on one page.

Mark the following words as   index entries, selecting Mark All for each: contribution, Roth IRA, Traditional   IRA, 403(b), and 401(k). Select the first occurrence of   deduction and set a cross-reference   as See contribution.

Add an index on a blank page at   the end of the document, ensuring that the format is From template. Accept   all default settings.
