Produce a Michaelis-Menten plot showing enzyme velocity (V0) vs [S].

Description

Using the table provided, please supply each of the dot points below with correct titles, values and descriptions. – Use the initial velocities and your standard curve to determine the rate that pNP was produced at each substrate concentration (this can be considered enzyme velocity shown as [pNP]/time). That is, convert to [pNP]/time from Absorbance/time. – Produce a Michaelis-Menten plot showing enzyme velocity (V0) vs [S]. You may be able to estimate Km and Vmax from this. – Prepare a table of reciprocal V0 and [S] to be used for a Line-weaver Burk plot. Note that reciprocal V0 and [s] simply means 1/V0 and 1/[S]. – Produce a Line-weaver Burk plot (ensure you label each axis correctly). You will need to extend the trendline so that your graph shows where the trendline intercepts the x-axis and y-axis. – Use the Line-weaver Burk plot to determine Km and Vmax. You can use the equation of the line to first determine the -1/Km and 1/Vmax and then rearrange to find Km and Vmax.

Do you believe it is ethically permissible for someone to say whatever he or she wants, even if it causes harm or trauma to another person?

Description

Do you believe it is ethically permissible for someone to say whatever he or she wants, even if it causes harm or trauma to another person? If so, on what grounds? If not, where would you draw the line to limit speech? Explain using one of the five ways of thinking ethically that were reviewed this week.

Compare and contrast the function of the four artworks and distinguish the connections that can be made, pointing out patterns you find.

Description

Part A In this first portion of the assignment you are asked to analyze the iconography of the artworks listed below. Defined in the textbook, iconography is an understanding of the subject matter and symbols of an artwork (Stokstad and Cothern, 2016, pg. 6). Based on your understanding of the cultures and time periods you have encountered over the past 4 lessons of textbook readings, analyze the following artworks in terms of their iconography. 1. Adam and Eve, Albrecht Dürer, 1504. Engraving. Located on page 357 of the textbook. 2. The Founding of Tenochtitlan page from the Codex Mendoza, Aztec, 1545 CE. Located on page 411 of the textbook. 3. The Hip Pendant Representing an Iyoba (“Queen Mother”), Nigeria, c. 1550 CE. Located on page 433 of the textbook. 4. Tar Beach, Faith Ringgold, 1988. Acrylic on canvas, and pieced cloth. Located on page 572 of the textbook. Part B Compare and contrast the function of the above works. Focus your analysis on how each artwork functioned spiritually and/or politically in their original context. Your discussion should include the importance of the artwork at the time of its creation for the viewer at that time. For instance, you could address issues such as, was the artwork used as a visual teaching of a concept, was it used as an historical record to document an event? Compare and contrast the function of the four artworks and distinguish the connections that can be made, pointing out patterns you find. Conclude your essay with a short discussion on the use of symbols in the 21st century to communicate, applying what you learned regarding the use of symbolic imagery throughout the centuries of art studied in the past 4 weeks. (Think of advertising logos or emojis etc. when considering 21st century examples.)

What to include?

You may use appendices to include relevant material such as evidence, source data and any data that backs up claims you are making and insights you are generating, such as redacted emails or documents or interview transcripts. Appendices are not directly included in your mark but do provide useful information to the reader. Your main script should only include things you consider should be in your mark. If these are tables, diagrams or multi-media links, think of how much time they will take to absorb by the reader. Excessive use of the extra material will be penalised and feedback given explaining the penalty.

Ensure any diagrams, tables etc. that are within the script are given a title and referred to in the body of your assessment. Do not expect the reader to understand how they fit into your argument unless you explain how they do. Tables and in-text references are included in the word count. The list of references, appendices and diagrams are not included in the word count. However, diagrams can be considered if they appear to be a way of avoiding word count by being very wordy diagrams. The total word count includes the standard +/- 10% leeway.

Critically discuss your role in the innovation process (present and/or future)

[30 marks]

• o Identify an appropriate reflective model to structure your discussion.
• o Consider any aspect of exploration, execution and/or exploitation in your discussion.
• o Critically discuss your role in the innovation process (present and/or future)
• o Include 1-3 SMART goals in relation to your future professional development which is aligned to this module.

Does your organisation/business engage in strategic partnerships? If so, what are the fundamental factors that make this partnership-based approach useful?

Exploiting Innovation

It is essential to understand not only how an organisation selects and implements technology-based innovation but how it exploits, including innovation platforms that incorporate multiple product options, portfolios and standards. You may also consider how organisation scale innovation practice to adapt as the organisation grows. Critically analyse the strategic importance of the technology identified in part 2 and part 1 (or again use new examples/cases/business processes) and how it is designed and managed to enable your organisation to compete effectively. Consider how your organisation integrates different management functions in the context of technological change to transform the ‘business’ model for the future.

Critically analyse how your organisation exploits the technology or digital investments for benefits management and realisation. Include the consequences of technological innovation and the impact on society, the environment, and political agendas (e.g. industrial strategy, sustainability, etc.).

▪ What are the drivers of commercialisation/efficiency saving?

▪ Does your organisation/business have strong IP?

▪ How much do they rely on other assets such as market channels, brand etc.?

▪ How are processes and or people leveraged @ scale in your organisation.

▪ Does your organisation/business engage in strategic partnerships? If so, what are the fundamental factors that make this partnership-based approach useful?

▪ Which markets and customers/users will be/are the initial focus; which portfolio of projects will/are provide early success and a platform for the future?

▪ Does your organisation/business have a platform strategy and/or a technology roadmap?

▪ What are the challenges of managing platforms and portfolios for the firm?

How is motivation of the technical and business people engaged in the process managed and the process controlled?

Executing Innovation

Focus on the structures and incentives for formulating and executing an innovation strategy, either using the same examples/cases as for part 1 or new ones. How does your organisation execute on innovation? How rational and organised are they? How are financial aspects of execution dealt with e.g. budgetary and cost implications.

Area of consideration might include:

▪ How was the entire innovation process structured? Is it a stage-gate process? In what ways does the process used fail and succeed?

▪ Are many activities undertaken in parallel?

▪ How are the R&D teams designed?

▪ What is the incentive structure within a team and across teams?

▪ How is motivation of the technical and business people engaged in the process managed and the process controlled? What tensions result? What synergies result? How are these managed?

▪ Are outsiders part of the innovation process – for example, out-sourced R&D, community-based users such as open source, academics? If so, what are the incentives for them? How is Intellectual Property (IP) managed in these external relationships? Where do your organisational boundaries lie, why and how is this managed and to what effect?

How did/do/will market and technology dynamics provide opportunities for your organisation?

Exploring Innovation

Making use of appropriate academic literature, provide a critical discussion and evaluation of the methods that your organisation uses to make organisational choices for innovation around technology. Include how exploration and execution varies along the technology S-curve, providing relevant work-based examples and being as specific as possible.

The following questions may help with your evaluation:

▪ How did/do/will market and technology dynamics provide opportunities for your organisation?

▪ How were/are opportunities developed by which stakeholders and how?

▪ How were/are ‘technology looking for a home” or a need looking to be met managed differently?

▪ How are/were ideas generated? What sources of ideas were/are consulted?

▪ What methods were/are used – brainstorming, lead user analysis etc.? How were/are risks assessed and prioritised?

▪ How did/does your organisation plan the order in which technological concepts to invest – according to a standard stage-gate, by risk, by investor demands?

Make sure you identify and review business processes that define a set of activities that accomplish specific organisational goal/s and provide a critical and systematic approach to improving particular processes (be selective and specific) within your current organisation landscape.

Where possible try to interview at least two people in various positions in your organisation involved in the cases/examples you critically analyse, and so have experienced or have responsibilities for technological change or innovation. Include your interview questions and answers as part of the appendices.

Consider too how to:

• Apply broader innovation knowledge combined with an understanding of the business context, and include how it is changing and contributing to the organisation strategy;

• Provide a succinct description of the business/organisational context of the cases and examples, including a direct discussion of its relevance to your technical pathway specialism;
