Pesticides and herbicides as mutagens and carcinogens

/in /by

Investigate about pesticides and herbicides as mutagens and carcinogens and write an essay about it.  The questions provided below are to motivate you to investigate about this topic; you do not need to answer them one by one. The essay must be at least five paragraphs long, and each paragraph must contain at least five sentences (you can write more than five paragraphs and more than five sentences per paragraph if you wish to do so). The content of your essay must be written entirely in your OWN words.  Use in-text citations in parenthesis, APA style, if you paraphrase information from other authors. Paraphrasing is not copy-pasting or copying and changing a few words from other authors’ writings – it is writing it in your OWN words to explain the authors’ writings. Only when necessary, you can quote, but these quotes do not count towards the last tally of the number of paragraphs and sentences required from your OWN writing.  You must cite at least three references you used to investigate about this topic at the end of your essay (use APA style). 
Are pesticides and herbicides mutagenic and carcinogenic? Many of the crops – fruits and vegetables – that we find in supermarkets, have been sprayed with pesticides and herbicides. Are these pesticides and herbicides causing diseases and cancers in us the consumers? What about neurological problems? Are pesticides and herbicides responsible, for example, for the rise in autism, Asperger Syndrome, ADHD, and other related neurological problems? How bad are pesticides and herbicides in mutating our human genes? How bad are they in mutating the genes of other animals? Are the companies creating pesticides and herbicides doing something about this issue or nothing at all? Can these pesticides and herbicides mess up our endocrine hormones? Are hormone-mediated disruptions caused in animals linked to pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, etc.? How bad is this situation, or, is it all an exaggeration?

BSG summation presentation (5minutes)

/in /by

Business Strategy End of Game Report.
Your report should address the following.
1) ***Identify major changes in your performance. What happened? How did you respond? What did you learn? Be specific. ****** (This part of the assignment is heavily weighted.)

2) What did you learn playing the BSG? What did you discover about your knowledge of business? (This part of the assignment is heavily weighted.)

Tell me what you learned.

Your presentation should be clearly organized and flow logically and should last no more than 5 minutes.

In order to deliver your presentation you will create a Voicethread presentation (load your PowerPoint then record your presentation).

Cyclonic decision

/in /by

Use this information, to advise Cyclonic on their decision. Prepare an Executive Summary report (approximately 1 to 2 pages) that summarizes your findings and recommendations. Be sure to include the following in your report:

(a) Organize the available data on cost, revenue, and probability estimates in a table.
(b) Set up a decision tree to model the scenario presented to Cyclonic. I want to see two versions of your decision tree.
First, show the tree with the algebraic formulations as your payoffs before you run the simulations (eg. example= $250*MIN(D, Q) – $150000 – $130Q)
Second (completed after step (c)), after running simulations and optimization, show the decision tree with your payoffs (average profit calculated from the four simulations). Show your solved decision tree.
(c) Use simulation to estimate the expected profit generated for each option under both weak and strong demand scenarios. HINT: for the simulations, use 500 samples each. You will have four worksheets with simulations – OUTSOURCE-WEAK; OUTSOURCE-STRONG; MANUFACTURE-WEAK; MANUFACTURE-STRONG)For the manufacturing option, use Optimization to calculate the optimal number of spin bikes to produce for both the weak and strong demand scenarios.
(a) Provide a recommendation for Cyclonic including their decision to continue to outsource or vertically integrate the manufacturing. Included the expected return/cost for the decision based on your decision tree (and simulation and optimization values).
