Assessing Diversity Initiatives Acme Inc. has asked for an analysis and evaluation of three diversity recruiting initiatives implemented a year ago. The goal is to increase the diversity of new hires. The three initiatives are minority college recruiting, job fairs in minority communities, and mining diversity websites such as the diversity employment exchange. The HR manager has requested an I/O external consultant to aid in understanding which recruiting methods were the most successful at…

Results Pearson-R Correlation The data underwent correlational analysis using the Pearson-R coefficient and obtained the following results: Table 1. N E O A C SPS Pearson Correlation .562** -.273** .022 -.294** -.218** Sig. (2-tailed) .000 .000 .676 .000 .000 N 372 372 372 372 372 ** Correlation is significant at the 0.01level (2-tailed) Based on the table above, the independent variables N (.562), E (-.273), A (-.294), and C (-.218) are significantly correlated to the dependent variable,…

Similar studies, same hypothesis, different results. Which study is reliable? Bushman and Anderson (2009) claimed that media violence can cause desensitization in people. Even though there are many criticisms about their previous works (Block & Crain, 2007; Deselms & Altman, 2003), no limitations have been found regarding their 2009 research paper. However, there are studies which found opposite or different outcomes. For instance, Fanti and his colleagues conducted an experiment in order to…

After collection of enough spectrum sensing results from each secondary user by the FC as above, relation is determined in the spectrum sensing results of each SU to identify both OMU and ROMU with the abnormal sensing reports to the fusion centre using the following steps. Variation in the Sensing results In the first step, FC measure the differences in the sensing results provided by each individual SU with all other SUs, during each sensing interval from initial to N_0 interval. Here sensing…

Question 1 (i) Mean: ‘’The sum of a series of measurements (or numbers) divided by the number of those measurements.’’ (Open University,2015: S104 Exploring Science Glossary, Milton Keynes, The Open University). Scientific Notation: ‘’ A notation that represents any number by expressing it as a number that is equal to or greater than 1 but less than 10, multiplied by a simple power of ten where the index may be positive or negative. Thus, 1.30 × 103 is in scientific notation (because 1.30 is…

Lemma: If p > 3 is prime, then either p = 1 (mod 6) or p = 5 (mod 6). Proof: The residue classes modulo 6 partition Z, so any z in Z satisfies a congruence z = n (mod 6) where n is in {0,1,...,5}. z is divisible by 6 if n = 0, 2 if n = 2, 3 if n = 3, and 2 if n = 4. These cases cover the primes z = 2 and z = 3; if z > 3 is prime, it follows that n = 1 or n = 5, i.e., z = 1 (mod 6) or z = 5 (mod 6). Now suppose there are only finitely many primes congruent to 5 modulo 6, say p_1, ...,…

This refers to a positive whole number that indicates the lack of restrictions in calculations. The following states below: (rows-1)(columns-1) = (4-1)(5-1)= 3= 12 Critical Value: In hypothesis testing, the critical value is a number that separates a region where the null hypothesis will not be rejected from a region where it will be rejected. It is achieved at a particular percentile range and is then determined using a chart, known as the distribution topic.” The equation below states the…

Vincristine is the primary treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children. Common toxicities include peripheral and autonomic neuropathies, which can be life threatening. Vincristine is metabolized extensively by CYP450 3A and its PK has a significant inter-individual variation. In addition to chemotherapy treatment, children are given antifungals for prophylaxis of infections. Itraconazole, voriconazole and fluconazole are commonly used agents. The azole family is an inhibitor of…

The aim of this section is to critically evaluate results of empirical tests carried out by the study and compare these with those of previous studies, literature and theories. This will enable the study to derive reasonable conclusions and proffer recommendations. CRITICAL DISCUSSION AND SUMMARY It is observed that growth in globalisation implies an increase in the extent of transactions between companies in different countries. Companies trading across territories transact in various national…

The Infinity POM By: Vinayak Prathikanti, Varun Popli, & Alan Xiao For the second month, we had the Infinity POM, and it definitely made us think a little. The problem said to consider all of the infinite numbers between 0 and 1, then all of the numbers on the number line. Which one of these is the larger infinity? Now before we say anything else, we want to tell you that this is an extremely open ended problem, and that it is very hard to argue one side. While this is true, we…
