You will write a scientific report on ONE of the following
Option 1) an astronomical object (such as a: planet, comet, star, galaxy, dead star, etc.) or
Option 2) a technological item used for astronomical purposes.

Sections in your Report
Option 1) Astronomical Object
If your chosen topic will be an astronomical object, then break your report down into the following
sections using these exact headings:
I. Introduction – Introduce your object briefly and creatively. Do not summarize what you
will discuss.
II. History – Was the object discovered by a particular person(s)? If so, When? How? Is this
object difficult to observe? Why?
III. Known Features and Characteristics – What are some interesting aspects about your
chosen object? Rather than listing facts, discuss how these features and characteristics
originated.
IV. Unanswered Questions – What are some important details not yet known about the
object? Why is it that we don’t know the answers to these questions?
V. Conclusion – Don’t summarize your report here; just bring your topic to a close as
creatively as you can.

Option 2) Technological Item used in Astronomy
If your chosen topic will be an item of technology, then break your report down into the following
sections using these exact headings:
I. Introduction – Introduce your technological item briefly and creatively. Do not
summarize what you will discuss.
II. Objective – What was/is the purpose of the item of technology? What will/did it
achieve? Why is this important to know?
III. Construction – Generally describe how the technological item was built, along with its
cost. What scientific instruments does it contain? What challenges were needed to be
overcome? Did it work as planned? How long is it intended to operate?
IV. Breakthroughs – Did the technological item reveal any breakthroughs?
V. Conclusion – Don’t summarize your report here; just bring your technological item to a
close as creatively as you can.

NOTE:
The report will be submitted in D2L as a Word or PDF document any time before the due date. It will be
between 1000 – 1200 words long (excluding the References page). For every 20 words over the 1200
word limit, 1 mark (out of 20) will be deducted.

There are two parts to this assignment. Part 1 is to create a useable full body workout, which includes resistance, cardio, and flexibility. The intent is to get you moving toward your immediate goals starting this week. Continue to upgrade and enhance the routine in order to meet goals by the end of the term. You will complete this using the personal growth portfolio excel exercise log template, included below as an attachment. The final assignment is due at the end of the term and will include a total of 3 weeks.
Your plan must include resistance, cardio, and flexibility submitted in a table format using the excel log provided. Several sample files have been provided to give you an idea of how to get started, and you may use it if you choose. You can use home exercises, workout videos, whatever you are able to do right now.
For the excel exercise log remember to:
State the type of workout. (For example, full body circuit, upper body/lower body split, push/pull split, 3 day split, etc.)
State goals.
Calculate target heart rate, and state what method you used (age predicted max or resting heart rate reserve).
On strength training, label the primary body part worked and the exercise chosen. Minimum of one exercise for each of the following body parts: chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, core, hamstrings, quads, and calves. You need to know your muscle groups even if you are doing a home workout. The exercise must be appropriate for the stated primary body part. For example, a pull up is a back exercise, not a bicep exercise; push- ups are for the chest, not triceps.
Use the FITT principle. Frequency – how often (number of times per week); Intensity – how hard (sets and repetitions); Time – how long (**Time is not essential for traditional weight training. This is more for circuits at 40 sec interval or isometric holds etc.); Type – what kind of exercise (cable bicep curls or dumbbell flat bench).
For Cardiovascular exercise, use the FITT principle. Frequency – how often (number of times per week); Intensity – (% of max heart rate or actual beats per min; mileage can also demonstrate intensity); Time – how long (30min, 60min, etc.); Type – what kind of exercise (run, walk, bike, swim, etc.)
For flexibility, state time of hold and a minimum of 3 stretches.

Part 2: Research Project (80 marks)
In Part 2, you will investigate technical problems of operating systems, and provide a written report. Your research should focus on an in-depth topic about theories, algorithms, approaches, mechanisms, or implementation of one of the following fields of operating systems:
process management
process and thread
CPU scheduling
synchronization
deadlock handling
storage management
main memory
virtual memory
file systems
mass-storage and I/O
protection and security
distributed, real-time, and multimedia systems
Your topic could come from a sub-problem of cutting-edge research problems discussed in the literature (i.e., investigating a technical problem).
If you have trouble deciding what topic to work on, contact your tutor, who can advise you on the suitability of the topic and/or suggest modifications. Note that topic selection is part of your assignment requirements for this project, so you cannot rely on your tutor to assign a topic.
To ensure that your topic has adequate depth and coverage, you MUST write a one-page proposal that outlines your area of interest and associated references you will use. Send it to your tutor for consideration before you begin your project work, preferably allowing at least two weeks for consultation.
In your paper (expectations outlined below), make sure you highlight your work and outcomes in your own words. You must also properly cite any viewpoints, methods, algorithms, data, results, figures, tables, etc. that you borrow from other papers or contributors that you discuss or include in your paper/report. All references cited should be published, or at least be publicly available, stable, and accessible online (referenced in APA or IEEE Style). Using the work of others without proper credit in your paper/report may lead to a form of plagiarism, which is not tolerated in AU courses. Please review the Student Academic Misconduct Policy for more details.
Research Paper
Your investigation will be based on recent publications (i.e., published in the past five years) such as journal/conference papers and technical documents, and the applicable software packages (open source preferred). You are encouraged to read some papers about new techniques in operating systems. You can access the following resources via the ACM Digital Library and IEEE/IEE Electronic Library databases in the Athabasca University Library.
SOSP: ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (ACM) ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (ACM) ACM Transactions on Computer Systems (ACM) IEEE Transactions on Computers (IEEE) ACM Computing Surveys (ACM) Communications of the ACM (ACM) IEEE Computer. . . (IEEE) Linux Journal (ACM)
Once you have chosen your topic, you need to identify meaningful, feasible outcomes for your research on the topic. Overall, the outcomes should interest and benefit the professional community of operating system research and development. Some possible outcomes:
analysis, findings, and discovery of problems.
results of your tests, surveys, and comparative analysis.
proposals for new or improved methods, algorithms, etc.
meaningful implementation plans.
insight on future directions.
Present the outcomes of your research in a 12- to 15-page paper written in a journal or conference paper format. References should be cited using APA or IEEE Style. Your paper should include the following sections:
Title
Abstract: no more than 300 words.
Introduction/background: motivation for research and introduction to the outcomes, including a literature review and reference citations.
Methods: describe the problem and the methods you used to explore or address the problem.
Results and findings: research results or exploration findings, including theoretical analysis and any experimental and implementation results you accomplished based on your methods.
Related work: summarize related work by others; compare your methods and results with others’ work. Cite your references.
Conclusion and future work: conclude your exploration and research, and suggest possible future work on the topic.
References: include all references cited in your paper, using APA or IEEE Style.
Appendix: Includes a list of your data, design/implementation, and source codes (as applicable), and software necessary for running your programs (if applicable). The Appendix isn’t part of the page count for your paper.

J&J Chocolates manufactures and sells high-quality and specialty chocolate
products at its factory plant and retail store located in central New Jersey. A couple of years ago,
the company developed its e-commerce website and began selling its
products over the Internet. Website sales have exceeded the company’s
expectations, and management is now considering strategy to increase sales
even further. To learn more about the website customers, a sample of
50 chocolate transactions was selected from the previous month’s sales.
Data showing the day of the week each transaction was made, the type of
payment method the customer used, the time spent on the website, the
number of website pages viewed, and the amount spent by each of the 50
customers are contained in the company Excel file named Shoppers.exl.

J&J Chocolates would like to use the sample data to study its customers’ behavior and determine
if online shoppers who spend more time and view more pages also spend more money during
their visit to the website. The company would also like to investigate the effect that the day of
the week and the type of payment have on sales.

The project requires a report in a professional format. The total pages are limited to no more
than 10 pages. You should have snapshots of Excel in the report.

Ethical and Legal Issues: Current Challenges
For this discussion, you will examine ethical and legal issues associated with certain legislation, within the context of civil liberties and homeland security. Review the assigned material on the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (and the Act as reauthorized in 2005) and on the Department of Homeland Security Act of 2002 in Chapter 3 of the Martin (2015) text. Argue for or against the legal and ethical qualities of these pieces of legislation. Specifically, argue whether or not these legislative acts adequately facilitate both civil liberty and domestic security priorities. In addition, consider current issues associated with federal surveillance mechanisms. Argue whether federal surveillance should be increased or reduced, and justify your position through a consideration of ethical and legal issues associated with civil liberties and with homeland security objectives. Is there a tension between civil liberties and homeland security objectives? Why or why not?
The content of the initial post must also contain a minimum of two references to the assigned weekly reading materials, cited in APA format as outlined in the UAGC Writing Center. No quotations are permitted. Your posts should incorporate analytical and evidence-based statements and reflect a synthesis of the assigned readings. Your initial post should be a minimum of 400 words.
