We have to write a small paper not too long about 2 paragraph max on peoples behavior on using technologies. That could be anything like mostly phones, machines anything around people. Actual instruction in attached below.

Exercise 1

In your local nuclear power station, there is an alarm that senses when a temperature gauge exceeds a given threshold. The gauge measures the temperature of the core. Consider the Boolean variables A (alarm sounds), FA (alarm is faulty), and FG (gauge is faulty) and the multivalued nodes G (gauge reading) and T (actual core temperature). 

a. Draw a Bayesian network for this domain, given that the gauge is more likely to fail when the core temperature gets too high. 

b. Is your network a polytree? Why or why not? 

c. Suppose there are just two possible actual and measured temperatures, normal and high; the probability that the gauge gives the correct temperature is x when it is working, but y when it is faulty. Give the conditional probability table associated with G. 

d. Suppose the alarm works correctly unless it is faulty, in which case it never sounds. Give the conditional probability table associated with A. 

e. Suppose the alarm and gauge are working and the alarm sounds. Calculate an expression for the probability that the temperature of the core is too high, in terms of the various conditional probabilities in the network.

Exercise 2

Consider the problem faced by an infant learning to speak and understand a language. Explain how this process fits into the general learning model. Describe the percepts and actions of the infant, and the types of learning the infant must do. Describe the subfunctions the infant is trying to learn in terms of inputs and outputs, and available example data.

Exercise 3

Complete the missing step in the derivation of Equation (15.19) on page 586 of the textbook, the first update step for the one-dimensional Kalman filter.

Exercise 4

Consider an arbitrary Bayesian network, a complete data set for that network, and the likelihood for the data set according to the network. Give a simple proof that the likelihood of the data cannot decrease if we add a new link to the network and recompute the maximumlikelihood parameter values.

You are an entry-level programmer with the ACME Development Firm. Your boss has selected you to plan new payroll application for a new client. This could be the big break you have been looking for to move up in the company. In general, the application you are planning takes employee information and appropriate timecard data and generates payroll data for the pay period. The application should also be able to generate and print paycheck statements for each employee. (There are samples of these documents attached to these instructions.)
 

Calculations Required:
 

Gross pay is the total amount an employee makes BEFORE deductions; net pay is what they get to take home. Net pay is calculated by subtracting the following deductions from an employee’s gross pay:
 

Medical Insurance: $25 + $5 for each dependent
Dental Insurance: $2 per covered person (employee and dependents)
State Tax: determined using a tax table (data file)
Social Security: 7% of gross earnings up to $60,000 – No Social
Security is paid on amounts over $60,000
 

Taxable Pay = Gross Pay – (Medical Ins. + Dental Ins.)
Use the Taxable Pay to calculate State taxes. Use Gross Pay to calculate Social Security tax.
 

Data Dictionary:
All of the data in your program will involve a variable or constant. These variables and constants will be used throughout your program. In the data dictionary, you must identify the following items for each data item:
 

Name
Variable name used
Data type
Size (Maximum number of digits or characters)
Module(s) in which it is used
Scope (Local or Global)
Whether or not it is a constant
 

Design/Planning Charts:
Hierarchy Chart
Flowcharts
Pseudocode

Implement a security framework to identify and close gaps between an organization’s current cybersecurity status and its target (future) cybersecurity status. Make sure to align to an appropriate regulation (e.g., PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, GLBA). In CYB-650, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework was utilized, and therefore it cannot be utilized for this assignment.

Develop a report that addresses the following:

Organizational Objectives and Priorities

1. Current Framework Compliance Status: Describe the current cybersecurity environment, such as processes, information, and systems directly involved in the delivery of services. Describe the current risk management practices, threat environment, legal and regulatory requirements, business/mission objectives, and organizational constraints using the framework identified. Include a diagram related to the common workflow of information and decisions at the major levels within the organization.
2. Future Cybersecurity Policy Implementations: Describe the critical cybersecurity needs that should be in place to ensure compliance with the appropriate regulation (e.g., PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, GLBA) and then prioritize organizational efforts, business needs, and outcomes.

Operational Compliance and Risk Assessment

1. Cybersecurity Risk Assessment: Describe the likelihood of risks occurring and the resulting impact. Identify threats to, and vulnerabilities of, those systems and assets. Express risks both internally and externally. Determine the acceptable level of risk (risk tolerance). Describe the response to the risk. Describe how identified risks are managed and resolved. Include an Organizational Risk Assessment Chart.
2. Privacy Risk Management: Describe how the business is integrating privacy laws and regulations, prioritizing, and measuring progress.
3. Compliance Gaps: Describe the type of audits that should be performed in order to keep a consistent measure of risk. Determine what type of gap analysis should be performed in order to properly identify the security elements and variables within the environment that pose the most risk. Formulate a cybersecurity governance strategy that establishes mitigation plans to achieve security objectives.
4. Web Portal Diagram: Create a web portal data flow diagram of the hypothetical organization’s operational environment using Visio or a similar diagramming software. Within the web portal data flow diagram, students will show how the web portal is compliant. The web portal data flow diagram must: a) Display the organization’s technical requirements (related and unrelated applications, services, and links); b) display the compliance of associated servers, routers, access-control components, data storage, internal and external data communication, data backup, e-mail servers, and so forth; c) identify related systems and assets, regulatory requirements, and overall risk approach; and d) demonstrate each IT task to the next as aligned to regulations/compliance (e.g., start with the user logging in, and then go through each step and how it is validated.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Refer to “CYB-690 Cybersecurity Framework Scoring Guide,” prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

GO19_AC_CH01_GRADER_1E_AS – Computer Club 1.0

Project Description:

In this project, you will create database objects to track the inventory of new computer parts used by the Computer Club. You will create a table and import data from Excel to create a second table. You will create a simple query, a form, and a report. 

Start   Access. Open the downloaded file named Student_Access_1E_AS_Computer_Club.accdb,   enable the content, and then open the Inventory table.

Beginning   in the second column of the Inventory table and using the specified data   types, create the following fields (in this order):
 

Part (Short Text), Room (Short Text), Cabinet Location (Short Text), Vendor ID (Short Text), Price (Currency), Quantity in Stock (Number).

Change   the data type of the ID field to Short Text, rename the ID field to Part ID, and then save the table.

Add   the following three records to the Inventory table and then close the table.
 

  Record 1:
  Part ID: V-01
  Part: Monitor with speakers
  Room: SE110
  Cabinet Location: Cabinet A, Shelf 3
  Vendor ID: V-015
  Price: 199.99
  Quantity in Stock: 3
 

  Record 2:
  Part ID: S-01
  Part: Sound Card
  Room: SE110
  Cabinet Location: Drawer A
  Vendor ID: V-002
  Price: 24.99
  Quantity in Stock: 10
 

  Record 3:
  Part ID: P-01
  Part: Power Supply
  Room: SE110
  Cabinet Location: Drawer C
  Vendor ID: V-010
  Price: 189.99
  Quantity in Stock: 2

Append   the records from the downloaded Excel file a01E_Parts_Inventory.xlsx to the Inventory table and then open   the table in Datasheet view (the table has 13 records).

Switch   to Design view and delete the Room field. For the Part field, enter a   description of Enter the computer   component name and then change the field size to 50. For the Part ID field, change the   field size to 4   and then save the table.

Switch   to Datasheet view, apply Best Fit to all of the fields in the table, save the   table, and then close the table.

Import   the records from the downloaded Excel file a01E_Vendors.xlsx into the database as a new table named Vendors. Designate the first row as column   headings and the Vendor ID field as the primary key. Open the Vendors table   in Datasheet view (the table has 15 records).

Switch   to Design view. For the State field, enter a description of Enter two-letter state abbreviation   and then change the field size to 2.   For the Vendor ID field, change the field size to 5   and then save the table.

Switch   to Datasheet view, apply Best Fit to all of the fields in the table, save the   table, and then close the table.

Based   on your Inventory table, use the Query Wizard to create a simple query. Add   the Part, Cabinet Location, and Quantity in Stock fields (in that order).   Keep the default name of Inventory   Query, click Finish to display the query results, and then close the   query.

Based   on your Vendors table, use the Form tool to create a form for the table. Save   the form as Vendor Form,   display the form in Form view, and then close the form.

Based   on your Inventory table, use the Report tool to create a report. Delete the   Vendor ID and Price fields from the report. Save the report as Inventory Report.

Sort   the Part field in ascending order. Set the width of the Part and Cabinet   Location fields to 2   inches. Delete the page number from the report, save the report, and then   close the report.

Close   all database objects, close the database, and then exit Access. Submit the   database as directed.
