The political debate over Net Neutrality has been going on for many, many years now in this country against the backdrop of freedom of information vs. censorship. What is net neutrality?”

The political debate over Net Neutrality has been going on for many, many years now in this country against the backdrop of freedom of information vs. censorship. What is net neutrality?”NET NEUTRALITY IS the idea that internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon should treat all content flowing through their cables and cell towers equally. That means they shouldn’t be able to slide some data into “fast lanes” while blocking or otherwise discriminating against other material. In other words, these companies shouldn’t be able to block you from accessing a service like Skype, or slow down Netflix or Hulu, in order to encourage you to keep your cable package or buy a different video-streaming service.” – Having net neutrality means that companies that provide internet service cannot do anything that would prioritize some information over others or censor any information. Not having net neutrality means that companies that provide internet service can control how information passes through their network, effectively giving them the power to censor information for their customers. Read the following list of pros and cons for net neutrality: As of 2017, the Trump administration changed the regulatory classification of the internet which effectively removed all net neutrality protection at the federal level. It’s now up to the states as to whether or not to create net neutrality rules. Currently Georgia only has legislation preventing the state from entering into contracts with companies that can’t certify their net neutrality. There is no other legislative protections. Find one of your Georgia state government representatives: Write a letter either:Expressing your support for net neutrality and encouraging new legislation that would provide net neutrality protection or Expressing your opposition to net neutrality and encouraging no consideration of new legislation that would provide net neutrality protection.

The purpose of this assignment is to summarize and evaluate existing “literature” (or published material) in order to establish current knowledge on the subject of homology modeling of proteins. You can use the paper that I posted or use some other from the literature but do not forget to cite them.
What format should you use for the review?
A literature review of formal academic writing includes:
Introduction
Body 
Conclusion
Introduction
· It defines or identifies the general topic, provides an appropriate context for describing the available methods found in the literature. 
Body
· It summarizes individual studies or articles with as much or as little detail as each merits according to its comparative importance in the literature, remembering that space (length) denotes significance. 
· You should not keep the title Body in your report but instead create different titles relative to the content.
Conclusion
· It summarizes major contributions of significant studies and articles to the body of knowledge under review, maintaining the focus established in the introduction. 
References
· Identify at least two sources that could be useful for your summary. They may be news articles, non-review journal articles, websites, software, or any other material from the Internet. Write down the reference citation in a proper APA format.
To guide you, you will find 2 articles about homology modeling, and a very recent research (from 2016) on the modeling of Zika virus proteins.
Your summary should answer the following questions in the body:
1. Define Comparative/Homology Modeling.
2. Enumerate the steps in Comparative/Homology Modeling?
3. What tools/software are needed for each steps.
4. Draw or provide a flow chart of the steps involved in homology protein structure modeling. (you can use an image found online (cite the source) or draw it yourself.)
5. Which are the most commonly used homology-modeling tools/software/websites? 
6. What does template structure mean? 
7. Can we trust the models obtained blindly?
8. What are the possible applications of Comparative/Homology Modeling?

Discuss how international trade influenced the strength of each economy. Discuss the role of value chains and value-added production.

 
The economic growth and trade competitiveness of countries can be influenced by the economic, political, and cultural development within the country. There are several countries that can be compared to see how a successful economy’s decisions differed from a less-successful economy.
Step 1: Select Economies
Review the pairs of economies listed below. Each pair has 1 highly successful country and 1 less successful country, except for NAFTA /EU.

NAFTA vs. European Union (world’s two largest economic entities)
China vs. India (world’s two most populous countries)
South Korea vs. North Korea (two polar economic opposites, one people)
Venezuela vs. Saudi Arabia (world’s two largest sources of oil reserves)
Nigeria vs. Democratic Republic of the Congo (functioning government and civil order vs. struggling government and violent clashes among factions; note: the Republic of the Congo is not the same country as the Democratic Republic of the Congo)

Research the economies for your chosen pair of countries.
Compare similarities and differences between your chosen countries/economies.
Step 2: Create a Presentation – Evaluate Economic Growth and Advantages
In a 12- to 16-slide presentation with detailed speaker’s notes and visual elements, including graphs and tables, explain how their economic, political, and cultural development since 1992 has influenced their economic growth and trade competitiveness.
Use tables or graphs to support your analysis of the following economic statistics/indicators of your 2 chosen economies through the most recent year available since 2009 (the trough of the last economic cycle):

GDP per capita growth over time
Inflation rate over time
Unemployment rate over time
Exports as a percentage of GDP over time
National government debt as a percentage of GDP

Whenever possible, plot the metric for both economies on the same chart.
Evaluate why the economic growth of the 2 economies/countries varied.

Discuss how international trade influenced the strength of each economy.
Discuss the role of value chains and value-added production.

Analyze how the failure to use value-added trade measures distorts trade statistics.
Examine at least 2 industries that have provided each economy a comparative advantage in world trade.
Cite at least 2 academically credible sources.

Rectilinear motion The evil Professor Mayhem is planning to drop a time-bomb from the top of a 180 m tall building. If the bomb hits the ground it will explode and destroy all of the new Adelaide University City. Even if it doesn’t hit the ground, the bomb is set to explode 24 s after its release. The superhero Mercurious is 864 m from the base of the building, at (x, y) = (0, 0), when he sees Professor Mayhem release the bomb. In an instant Mercurious works out that, assuming that t = 0 is when the bomb is released, he needs to run with super speed along a path described by the mathematical equation,  x(t) = t ^3 ? 36t^ 2 + Ct + D, in order to catch the bomb before it hits the ground, turn around and deposit it a safe distance from the city, and then turn around again and return before the bomb explodes.

 1. (a) Draw an appropriate sketch of the situation with Mercurious’s position (along the horizonal) at any time t identied by the function x(t), assuming all the action takes place to the left of the building (i.e., x < 0), and the bomb's vertical position at any time t during its fall is described by the function y(t) ? 0. (b) Determine the time it would take for the bomb to hit the ground if it falls under gravity with an acceleration of 10 ms^?2 . (c) Determine the parameters C and D if Mercurious runs and catches the bomb at the base of the building at the exact moment it would have hit the ground (at which point he also reverses direction for the rst time). (d) Determine where Mercurious leaves the bomb (at which point he simultaneously reverses direction a second time). (e) Determine Mercurious's position when the bomb nally explodes. (f) Determine Mercurious's maximum speed over the 24 s period. At what position(s) is he when this occurs?
