Discuss the advantages of fibre reinforced polymers with respect to their mechanical & mass-specific properties in replacing traditional metallic systems in structural applications, such as sub-frames in cars.

One of the most promising lightweight material systems to replace heavy
steel on automobiles is carbon fibre composites. In addition to being lighter,
carbon fibre composites also give engineers more design freedom than
conventional materials, allowing them to produce different shapes and
structures.

Discuss the advantages of fibre reinforced polymers with respect to their
mechanical & mass-specific properties in replacing traditional metallic
systems in structural applications, such as sub-frames in cars. Use academic
references to support your arguments.
Compare joining techniques used for fibre reinforced composite materials
versus metallic materials (focusing on automotive industry and automotive
structural applications). Discuss opportunities and challenges when joining
dissimilar materials and which method would be more appropriate in such
cases.
Fibre reinforced composites (FRC), due to their unique properties, are
replacing traditional metallic systems in structural parts in cars, such as subframes in cars.
What are the challenges, in terms of manufacturing, when
FRC are used in automotive industry?
Discuss the importance of high
production rates required for many standard vehicles. In your discussion
make a direct referral to the processing characteristics of composite
materials (FRC) and any potential challenges associated with manufacturing
of these materials in such context.

Explain why having a cultural profile of people in the official’s cultural group could help you avoid a breakdown in communication in this situation.

As the managing director for your company, based in India, that manufactures computer equipment, you are negotiating with an official in China. His job is to select computer equipment for city employees. You are adamant that you want all the specifications named clearly in a contract. However, the Chinese official is not interested in the technical and financial details. In a minimum of two pages, explain why having a cultural profile of people in the official’s cultural group could help you avoid a breakdown in communication in this situation. How can you get through the intercultural impasse and obtain a contract that both you and the Chinese official find acceptable?
Your case study should be properly formatted to include a title page and reference list, which will not be included in the minimum page count. The paper should follow APA guidelines for all resources for in-text citations, paraphrasing, and references.

Describe the major components of these illnesses.

Modern Western society equates thinness with health and beauty. In fact, in the United States, thinness has become a national obsession. Most of us are as preoccupied with how much we eat as with the taste and nutritional value of our food. Thus, it is not surprising that during the past three decades we have witnessed an increase in three eating disorders: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder.
a.) Describe the major components of these illnesses. (12 points)
b.) Discuss what role you think society and social media play in the development of the disorders. (4 points)
c.) Finally, what gender differences exist regarding the prevalence and treatment of eating disorders? (4 points)

Explain that this is a vaccine-preventable disease and explain how vaccines prevent disease.

The scenario:
A young mother rushes her four month old infant to the hospital emergency department and reports her infant severe cough and gasping for air due to an ‘asthma attack’.
An ED nurse evaluates the infant and questions the mother. The infant is cyanotic, irritable and experiencing a paroxysmal cough. The infant’s temperature is taken and noted as 103.8°F. The mother reveals the infant has been experiencing a cough and congestion for two weeks or more. The infant was born at home and has NOT been seen by a family practitioner or pediatrician to date and never vaccinated. The infant has been exposed to neighborhood children ill with a mild cough. Chest x-rays are taken and blood samples are analyzed. The laboratory results indicate a highly elevated leukocyte count. Pronounced pneumonia is evident in the radiograph. In your essay address the following:
Explain (and justify) to the infant’s mother that this is not an asthma attack and identify the likely infectious agent.
Explain that this is a vaccine-preventable disease and explain how vaccines prevent disease.
Write your response in first person highlighting the reasons this mother chose not to get her child vaccinated and ways to effectively counter her motives with evidence and empathy.

What role do you think microeconomics has in running a business?

Every individual confronts economic issues daily. This is especially true of business owners, who spend their time thinking of economic issues such as how to handle changes in the price of goods, how to allocate their time, and whether to buy or produce goods in order to efficiently allocate their scarce resources.
In your initial post, begin by introducing yourself briefly, including your program of study and career interests. Then, address the following as part of your response:
Imagine you own your own business and have to make daily decisions about how to allocate available resources such as input of production, time, purchasing decisions, and so forth. What role do you think microeconomics has in running a business?
Which of the principles of economics outlined in your reading would you be more likely to apply when making business decisions? Provide at least two to three examples.
In your responses to your peers, comment on at least two posts that discuss a different economic principle than the one you chose. Draw connections between the different principles and the role of microeconomics in everyday life.

Explain what ways this changed education after the war.

This week you will be completing a worksheet based on America after WWII. Three areas to make sure to pay attention to; first, you need to make sure that in each section you reach the minimum word requirement, you include citations for paraphrasing in each section, and that you utilize a minimum of three sources for the entire work. Due to the size of each section, you should not have any quoted material.
For the first section, you want to make sure you are discussing the GI Bill directly following WWII, and not later changes or even current. Explain what ways this changed education after the war.
For the second section, you want to discuss why suburbanization changed after the war, and what changes this brought to America directly after the war. This should include more GI Bill information, but also the formation of suburbs.
For the third section, you want to why the automobile was so important to America directly after the war (not during the war). This ties in with suburbanization. Also, discuss how the government promoted this.
For the fourth section, you want to discuss gender spheres, what this is, how and why it was encouraging after the war. Who promoted this and how.
For the fifth section, you need to discuss the role of religion in America after the war. This should focus on the time period of the 50s.
For the sixth section, you need to discuss youth culture after the war within the time frame of the 50s only.
Also, make sure you are using the assignment worksheet to do the work, that each paragraph written in the assignment has an in-text citation and that the reference matches the in-text citations in the assignment. And you will need to add permalinks with the references as well this means to add the source or link of where you found the info along with the references. “ONCE AGAIN PLEASE FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS MAKE SURE TO USE THE ASSIGNMENT WORKSHEET THAT IS UPLOADED TO YOU!!!!! here is one of the sources links to go to.
