Z3

be over in two years. Yet the war lasted a lot longer which makes you think if Zuse was given the opportunity to finish his design, maybe the outcome of the war would have been different. After the war, Zuse soon evolved his designs and created the Z3 and Z4 which was a colossal improvement over its predecessor. But these machines weren’t used for the war since the Germans overlooked him, thinking that the key to winning the war was through weapons and…

The theory of Continuous Auditing was established by Vasarhelyi and Halper (1991). Continuous auditing entails the real-time monitoring and analysis of the entire population of records. The premise of this methodology is based on the concept of “audit by exception” where deviations (e.g. control variances) are flagged as alerts and forwarded to the responsible parties (e.g. management, internal auditors, business owners) for investigation. Continuous auditing has evolved from an academic theory…

Persuasion- In order to be a highly profitable sales representative in the medical industry, the most important element of the job is persuasion. The representative must be able to switch from both retailers, to physicians, to consumers and understand their different needs and communicate accordingly to complete a sale. It is necessary for them to create, change, and reinforce opinions of the new product in order to get it into the market and increase market penetration. Active Listening- To…

Computers have all but replaced humans for doing complex calculations. But computers handle numbers much differently than humans do. At this point, the majority of people use base-10 for their math. The base of a number system refers to the number of number symbols used in that system. In base 10 the numbers used are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Humans use this system because it shortens numbers. Humans have 10 fingers so it is logical that base-10 counting systems developed naturally. But…

want to find x such that x ≡ 1 mod 5 x ≡ 3 mod 7 x ≡ 2 mod 9. We then have that N = (5)(7)(9) = 315 and y1 = 315/5 = 63, y2 = 315/7 = 45, and y3 = 315/9 = 35. This gives us that 2 ≡ 63−1 mod 5 5 ≡ 45−1 mod 7 8 ≡ 35−1 mod 9 and so z1 = 2, z2 = 5, and z3 = 8. Therefore, x = 1(63)(2)…

first programmable computer of German history. Although it was unreliable “the Z1 showed that the architectural design was sound, which compelled Zuse to investigate other kinds of technology”(Rojas First, 239). Zuse would soon start to build the Z2, Z3, and Z4; these machines would become more and more advanced through both their hardware and software as Zuse began to further understand…

Genetic parameters were estimated using B-spline functions in random regression models for weight of Large White pigs measured between the 3rd and 36th week of age. The model accounted for contemporary groups, parity and sex as fixed effects while random effects modelled were; animal genetic effect, permanent environmental effect and maternal genetic effect along with heterogeneous residual variances. Heritability estimates decreased with age from 0.37 at 3 weeks to 0.27 at 36 weeks. Weight…

within Bell Telephone laboratories. This was the first usage of remote access computing because he made calculations over special types of telephone lines from another location. The next year a German computer scientist names Konrad Zuse builds the Z3 Computer. This computer was used for aeronatical calculations until it was destroying in a bombing raid during World War II. In 1942 an Iowan college professor named John Vincent Atanasoff and one of his graduate students created the ABC…

Even before Claussen began pushing his architectural vision, others were busy designing the inner workings of the plant. Jan Knau, an engineer, was only 27 when he was asked to come up with a flexible assembly line for the factory. Knau, then just a junior associate, contacted BMW’s top 15 assembly engineers. He invited them to a two-day workshop at a BMW retreat near the Austrian Alps. After a series of marathon sessions that included discussions of every facet of the ideal assembly line, Knau…

It is inserted into the equation simply to give a positive solution at the origin; we are artificially creating a solution: 2x1 + 4x2 - s1 + A1 = 16 2(0) + 4(0) - 0 + A1 = 16 A1 = 16 The artificial variable is somewhat analogous to a booster rocket—its purpose is to get us off the ground; but once we get started, it has no real use and thus is discarded. The artificial solution helps get the simplex process started, but we do not want it to end up in the optimal solution, because it has no real…
