Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of non-numeric and numeric selection models.

Need a short paper approximately 500 words that discusses project selection models.

There are two basic types of project selection models: non-numeric and numeric. As a project manager, you should prepare a report that provides an overview of the selection criteria, selection models, and management processes. Your short paper should do the following:

  • Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of non-numeric and numeric selection models.
  • Describe how selection criteria are developed and used for the selection and prioritization of projects.
  • Describe management’s process for choosing a project selection model. How does it align with the organization’s mission?

There are several Qualitative Models that you can consider in your research for non-numeric project selection methods that include:

  • Subject Matter Expert (SME) judgments based on their knowledge + expertise
  • Sacred Cow Methods that includes pressure from upper management to complete the project
  • Mandates — generated from external sources such as local, state, or federal agencies
  • Checklist Model — projects are evaluated against a list of criteria

Must cite sources.

Cities are purchasing water rights from farmers to ensure water supplies for urban growth. Discuss the possible consequences of this trend.

Agriculture is by the far the biggest user of water in arid western states such as Colorado, Arizona and California.  These states also have growing populations and there are ongoing conflicts between cities and farm regions over water.  Cities are purchasing water rights from farmers to ensure water supplies for urban growth.  This is often the least expensive way for a city to obtain more water and some farmers are making more money selling water than growing crops.  Discuss the possible consequences of this trend.  Should this alternative be considered a long term solution?  Why or why not?

Examine the three speeches of Aias (Ajax), Odysseus, and Phoinix in Book Nine. How are they different?

All I want is to do your best and I appreciate that.

There is a reading below in order you can answer the questions.

Please please follow the instructions below.

 

Please write a paragraph response to TWO of the THREE questions below. You MUST answer QUESTION #2 and then EITHER question #1 OR question #3.  Each paragraph needs to be at least six to seven full, developed sentences. Specific reference to the text–ie. evidence for claims–will strengthen your responses. You will need to upload your written responses in TWO places:  to the Vericite upload link AND to the reading response upload link.  You will also need to hand in a hard copy of your written responses in class, tomorrow, to your GTF, at the end of lecture.  PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST USE EITHER A PDF FILE OR DOC FILE EXTENSION FOR YOUR UPLOADED DOCUMENTS.

The grading of these responses will be as follows:  each question is worth 2 points and a full, thoughtful effort will receive 2 points; a halfhearted effort will receive 1 point; and no effort will receive no points.

 

 

  1. Consider the conflict that Achilleus suffers between, on the one hand, his own integrity and the sense of violation to the social code that has defined his existence, and, on the other, his responsibility to his “community”—the Greek army. Is Achilles’ continued withdrawal from the army justified? Does his reaction to the violation of the heroic code give him heroic stature? What is the relationship between vengeance and honor that Achilles seems to pursue? Is this problematic at all?

 

 

  1. Examine the three speeches of Aias (Ajax), Odysseus, and Phoinix in Book Nine. How are they different? What are the unique ways that each attempts to persuade Achilleus (Achilles) to relinquish his wrath? Do you find one speech more effective than the others?

 

 

  1. Identify the speaker, circumstances, and significance of the following quote for the themes of the epic:

 

Of possessions

Cattle and fat sheep are things to be had for the lifting,

And tripods can be won, and the tawny high heads of horses,

But a man’s life cannot come back again, it cannot be lifted

Nor captured again by force, once it has crossed the teeth’s barrier…

I carry two sorts of destiny toward the day of my death. Either,

If I stay here and fight beside the city of the Trojans,

My return home is gone, but my glory shall be everlasting;

But if I return home to the beloved land of my fathers,

The excellence of my glory is gone, but there will be a long life

Left for me, and my end in death will not come to me quickly.

Identify the top five most popular choices of hybrid cars. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each car’s technology, price, manufacturing, and impact on environment. Include the scientific principles involved in the technology.

A hybrid car is a motor vehicle that uses two or more different sources of power. In most hybrids, you will find an internal combustion engine in addition to an electrical motor. Depending on how the vehicle is driven and the availability of power, the car uses gasoline and battery power alternately.

In this assignment, you will research five different hybrid cars and evaluate their impact on the environment.

Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, do the following:

  • Identify the top five most popular choices of hybrid cars. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each car’s technology, price, manufacturing, and impact on environment. Include the scientific principles involved in the technology.
  • Determine which type of car would work best for you and your family. Justify your decision based on your analysis of the five hybrid cars.
  • Explain the impact these cars will have on the United States’ economy. Consider the following issues in your analysis: consumer buying, sustainability, recycling, and fuel economy.
  • Evaluate the impact that hybrid-car technology has had or could have on the United States’ political relationships with oil-producing countries. Be sure to include an analysis of economic issues such as production, supply, and trade.
  • Describe how this technology will influence world politics. Include an analysis of economic issues such as production, supply, and trade.

Support your statements with examples. Use a minimum of six reliable references, two of which should be peer-reviewed articles.

Explain the scientific and technical concepts related to nuclear medicine.

Nuclear medicine is a specialized branch of modern medicine that exploits the process of radioactivity for imaging, diagnosis, and treatment. Many imaging techniques inject small amounts of radioactive material into the body, which are then tracked by a sensing device specific to the type of radiation emitted from that material. Radiation has also been used to destroy diseased tissue, typically beyond the reach of standard surgical techniques.

Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, write a paper on nuclear medicine. Address the following:

  • Explain the scientific and technical concepts related to nuclear medicine. Consider the following questions when you construct your response:
    • What type of radiation is typically exploited in most nuclear medicine procedures?
    • How are patients prepared for nuclear medicine procedures?
    • What are the advantages and limitations of nuclear medicine?
    • What ailments are typically diagnosed and treated via nuclear medicine procedures?
  • Evaluate a minimum of three applications of nuclear medicine relating to any of the following topics:
    • Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans
    • Gallium scans
    • Indium white blood cell scans
    • Iobenguane scans (MIBG)
    • Octreotide scans
    • Hybrid scanning techniques employing X-ray computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
    • Nuclear medicine therapy using radiopharmaceuticals

Support your statements with examples. Provide a minimum of three scholarly references.
