Montgomery College Hardware Coding with A 32 Bit Registers Project

Write an assembly language program that prompts the user for a hamming (8,4) encoded string (more on
this at the Wikipedia link here) as follows:
Input Data: 00100110
The encoded string is expected to be a sequence of 1s and 0s and the user is expected to input them as
ASCII characters. The assembly program must then proceed to check for the validity of user input. This
routine that performs validity checks is provided with the sample skeleton code. Once the validity check
is performed, the program must proceed to determine if the user input has a single bit error. If a single bit
error exists, then its respective bit position must be detected, and the program must print out the bit
position where the error has occurred. Further, if a single bit error has been detected, your program must
correct the error and the correct binary sequence must be printed out as a sequence of ASCII characters.
You can make use of the ASCII to binary conversion routine provided in the skeletal code, as a reference
to perform the operation in reverse. Appropriate placeholders to store information about the position and
final corrected sequence is provided in the .bss section of skeletal code.
The encoding format for user input is provided below for reference:
Encoding format:
Bit Position 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Bit Order P4 D4 D3 D2 P3 D1 P2 P1
Data bits are embedded in the encoded sequence and is specified by D4, D3, D2, and D1 in the above
format. Parity bits are specified by P4, P3, P2, and P1. Hence for the example above (00100110), the data

Linear statistical models Discussion

1 pages discussion

After this write 2 reply on others discussion

about 100 words for each reply.

PROMPT:

Research a linear model, then check the results using we need specifics here

Lesson

In this final module of new material, we now will apply much of what we have so far learned to formulate a statistical model. Regression models are a form of supervised learning – we have a means of guiding us in the development of a model by examining how well our model predicts the observed data. Other techniques, such as clustering or principal components analysis, don’t have a mechanism for testing the accuracy of their predictions. They rely on the “reasonableness’ of the results they arrive at.

The regression models general form is dependent variable or response = f(independent variables or predictors or features),

where f is a linear function. The regression model is linear in the sense that the coefficients of the independent variables don’t appear in any form except as a constant or as a multiplier times an independent variable. Also, we are going to restrict our attention to dependent variables whose values are not restricted to particular categories, for example, buy a product or not buy a product. The independent variables themselves can take many forms. For example, a common technique in economics is to use so-called dummy variables or indicator variables that take the value one if the condition is present for that observation and are zero otherwise. For example, if we were predicting student GRE scores, we might want to include a dummy variable for whether the student went to a private university or not. The coefficient on this variable would be interpreted as the difference that going to a private university had on GRE scores in comparison to the average. We can also transform the independent variables and that will allow us to perform polynomial regression. In fact, any transformation of the independent variables is permissible, so long as their coefficients only appear as multiplicands or constants.

There are a series of questions we will want ask about our model: 1) How strongly do the independent variables relate to the dependent variable? This is a question for the set of independent variables as a whole. This can also raise the question of whether we have the right form for the regression? Perhaps linearity is not the right assumption. 2) How accurate is our model, in other words, how well do we predict the dependent variables within our data set? Again, this is really a test of the regression model as a whole. 3) How strong is the relationship of the individual independent variables with the dependent variable? Although we begin our analysis with an ensemble of potential predictors, perhaps some of them more strongly relate than others. Further, when we build models, we like to have Ockham’s Razor in our backpacks, so we would like to have an accurate forecast, but with as few variables as possible. As we examine the individual variables, it may be that we need to transform them in some way. 4) We may want to divide our data into two parts – a training data set and a test data set. On the training data set we develop the model. We then use the test data set to see how well we predict observations outside of our data set. This leads to the question – How well do we predict outside of our training data set? 5) Some observations may seem aberrant in the sense that they have prediction errors, residuals, that are significantly larger than the model’s predictions for other observations. These are known as outliers. This brings us to the question – Are these observations somehow different from the others. Is there a problem with the data collection for this observation? is there some substantive difference between these observations others?

We will discuss several statistics that are computed in regression analysis. In the simple linear regression, we can compute what is formally the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, also known more briefly as the correlation coefficient, r. It is a measure of the strength of a linear relationship between the dependent and independent variables. r can vary between -1 and 1. We must be careful to not use the correlation coefficient as a metric of any relationship between the dependent and independent variables because the relationship could be nonlinear. As an example, if you were to calculate the correlation coefficient between y and x for a parabola y = x2, you would find the correlation coefficient is zero, yet these two variables are clearly related. The square of the correlation coefficient, r2, measures the percent of the variation in y “explained” by the variation in x. r2 can vary between 0 and 1, with zero implying no capability of x to explain y’s variation and 1 meaning that x can explain all of y’s variation. We can apply a t-test to assess the significance of the independent variable and that will simultaneously test the regression as a whole.

We then discuss multiple regression, multiple because there is more than a single predictor. The correlation coefficient is no longer meaningful because there is more than one independent variable. We can, however, estimate our regression model and then correlate the predicted and actual values of the response variable and that will be a measure of the linear correlation of the response and predictor variables. It is called the multiple correlation coefficient, R (I guess it’s capitalized to distinguish it from the correlation coefficient). Unlike r, it varies only between 0 and 1 and so doesn’t indicate the direction of the relationship as the correlation coefficient does. Its squared value is known as the coefficient of determination, R2, like r2 measures the percentage of variation in the response variable explained by the predictor variables. Commonly the coefficient of determination is adjusted for the number of variables. That adjustment prevents it from increasing merely because an additional variable has been added.

The overall regression is tested using what is known as the F-statistic which is based on the regression model as an ANOVA analysis. The individual coefficients are tested using a t-test where the t-statistic for the test is the coefficient value divided by its standard error.

HIST115: 2.6 JSTOR Article Review

For this assignment, you are to read a journal article about a topic related to a regional topic within the context of the class, and you are asked to use articles from the JSTOR database. Unfortunately, Grossmont College does not have JSTOR available from its library, but some of you may have used JSTOR from institutions like Mesa, Palomar and Southwestern Colleges, in addition to San Diego State or Cal State San Marcos. Therefore I have provided you with an ample selection of articles that I have downloaded from Palomar College’s JSTOR database. All you need to do is pick any of the articles for your review. Just click the “Files” section from the Canvas class menu, and open the folder that says “115_JSTOR_Articles.” Inside the folder are several subfolders with topics arranged by nation, in alphabetical order. The articles are in PDF format and labeled by the topic of the article, so just browse the collection of articles before you make your final selection. You do not need to notify me of your article choice, just pick any one of the articles in any of those subfolders, and you’re ready to roll!

The due date for this review is Tuesday, December 1 at 11:59 PM. No late papers will be accepted, all reviews must be submitted by December 1. The report is to be 5-7 pages in length. Please be sure to use both a title page and works cited page. (title and works cited pages do not count toward the overall page count of your review) You are also encouraged to follow the MLA or Chicago formats to develop this report. Please double-space your review. This review will count as 20% toward your final grade. And in your works cited page, please list the name of the article that you will be summarizing and analyzing. This an example of the type of the format you should follow:

“Argentina in 1983: Reflections on the Language of the Military and George Orwell,” by Alberto Ciria. Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Vol. 11, No. 21 (1986), pp. 57-69.

In terms of the content of the report, I am looking for two main points of discussion. First, you should devote the first half of the report to a summary of the main points that the author is trying to convey to the reader. To help you to address this issue, consider some of these questions: What type of article is this? Is the author presenting an original feature, or is he/she conducting a book review? If this is a book review, what book (or books) is being reviewed? What is the author’s purpose for writing this article? What is the author’s academic or professional background?

As for the second point of discussion, this is where you provide your opinion or perceptions of the article. In other words, what did you think about it? What were the strengths or weaknesses of the article? How did the article relate to the class? You are definitely encouraged to write in first person singular (I feel that…, I think..) as you provide your opinions. As a general rule of thumb, your JSTOR review should be about 60% summary and 40% commentary. Thus a 5-page review with about 3 & 1⁄2 pages summary and 1 & 1⁄2 pages commentary is an ideal proportion.

******Here is the article I have chosen for this assignment***** I have also provided a pdf of the article!

Write essay is an analysis of the novel, Home, and should be five (5)full pages long plus the MLA formatted Works Cited page.

Details of the Research Project: Home by Toni Morrison

To Do: Closely read Toni Morrison’s short novel Home and keep Dialectical Journals (I’ll explain and demonstrate this in class) using your chosen area of focus.

Choose one of the three approaches listed below and make it your own:

1)Analysis using Literary Theory: Are you interested in Intersectionality as a theory to apply to your analysis? What about Psychoanalytic Literary Theory? Critical Race Theory? Marxist Literary Theory? Feminist Theory?

Your initial research should be broad before you are in a position to narrow your focus. Consider starting with Wikipedia to learn about a few different kinds of literary theory. There are also helpful definitions in the back of our enormous textbook.

OR

2)Analysis using research into history: If applying a particular type of literary theory to your reading of Home feels too abstract or challenging, then you can focus your research on other areas that would help you to unpack key themes in the novel; for example, find information about how black veterans of the Korean War were integrated back into American society or research eugenics and medical experiments performed on African Americans in the time period when Home is set. Another option would be to combine research into both race and economic class in the 1950s – what were (are still?) hurdles to upward mobility for African Americans at that time; how did gender affect those opportunities?

OR

3) Analyze two or three themes of your choice that are woven through the novel. One example is the theme of home, another might be the theme of duty. You’ll have a better idea of themes that are meaningful to you after your first reading of the novel. Your choice of themes will guide the course your research takes.

University of Cumberland Enterprise Risk Management Application Research Project

Risk management is one of the most important components in empowering an organization to achieve its ultimate vision. With proper risk management culture and knowledge, team members will be “speaking” the same language, and they will leverage common analytical abilities to identify and mitigate potential risks as well as exploit opportunities in a timely fashion. In order to consolidate efforts, the existence of an integrated framework is crucial. This is why an ERM is necessary to the fulfillment of any organization’s goals and objectives.

In your final research project for the course, your task is to write a 8-10 page paper discussing the following concepts:

  • Introduction
  • Why should an organization Implement an ERM application?
  • What are some key challenges and solutions to Implementing an ERM?
  • What is Important for an effective ERM?
  • Discuss at least one real organization that has been effective with implementing an ERM framework or /application.
  • Conclusion, final thoughts for future research
  • Recommendation

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately eight to ten pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
  • Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • Support your answers with the readings from the course, the course textbook, and at least ten scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find supplemental resources.
  • Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Contemporary art experiential paper 3 pages essay

First, read the Stalker & Glymour article, ‘The Malignant Object: Thoughts on Public Sculpture’

Then choose one of these works: Vailey Export, Tap and Touch Cinema, 1968-71 Anish Kapoor, Cloud Gate, 2006, Oldenburg & van Bruggen, Houseball, 1996-97

The Assignment. Your paper should have two parts:

First, make an informed analysis of the work. By now you know more about contemporary art than 99.9% of the general public. What do you think the artist’s main concerns and purpose were? Relate the work to the movement(s) and concepts we have covered in class. (For example, formalism, assemblage, performance art, Earth Art, sculpture-as-structure, site specificity, activist art, etc.)

Second, consider the accessibility and relevance of the work to the general public. This part should be written as a response to the objections to contemporary public sculpture that are raised in the Stalker & Glymour article. Is the work relevant to its site and to the kind of people who frequent that site? Do you think viewers would be able to ‘get’ the meaning(s) and concern(s) you outlined in part one if they just encounter it in the course of their day, without doing any research? Overall, do you think it is a successful work of public art or not?

The Fine Print. Be sure to read the fine print:

This paper should be at least 31⁄2 pages using Times 12 point, 1.5 or double-spaced with 1 inch margins, submitted as a Word or PDF document. You will need to do some minimal online research to find out some basic facts about the work, and in some cases you will find accounts of the work’s intended meaning. You may use such information (and if so, cite where you got it by footnoting the URL), but do not simply accept that interpretation: the question is whether it would be ‘gettable’ by an uninformed viewer. Do not copy or closely paraphrase any outside source without citing it. Doing so will result in an automatic zero, and if particularly egregious will be reported to the Academic Misconduct Committee.
