magine you are in a fast-food restaurant where a lady tells you that she had heard there was a gene for liking or hating the taste of cilantro. You looked on the Internet to investigate this statement, and although you found similar comments on reputable websites, you are yet to find any scientific studies supporting this claim. Should you be skeptical about the scientific merit of this claim after browsing the Internet? Why? Do you think there are times when scientifically-sound research is not accepted for publication? Why? What should you do to continue this investigation?

The Research Process
Imagine you are in a fast-food restaurant where a lady tells you that she had heard there was a gene for liking or hating the taste of cilantro. You looked on the Internet to investigate this statement, and although you found similar comments on reputable websites, you are yet to find any scientific studies supporting this claim.

Should you be skeptical about the scientific merit of this claim after browsing the Internet? Why?
Do you think there are times when scientifically-sound research is not accepted for publication? Why?
What should you do to continue this investigation?
Using the South University Online Library, find two peer-reviewed articles discussing genetics and food preference. Using the skills you learned from this week’s lectures, summarize each of them.
What is a primary source for any research study? Why is it important to read the primary source?
Why do most students settle for reading secondhand or thirdhand accounts of research studies instead of reading the primary source?
When might you have to depend on a secondary source of information? Are thirdhand accounts of research studies reliable? Why?

Using acceptable Internet sites, research nuclear power dangers in the United States and around the world and answer the following questions:in  500 words

The nuclear industry has not found a solution for radioactive waste. In 1982 the government began construction of the Yucca Mountain waste site in Nevada, but the start of operations has been postponed from 1992 to 2020. What safety and health problems are associated with storing radioactive waste in deep geological repositorites?
Natural disasters present significant risks for nuclear power plants. Considering all the possible natural disasters from flooding to tornadoes, evaluate the risks of nuclear disaster from America’s aging nuclear plants? How do we mitigate these risks?
One of the fundamental problems of nuclear power is that the enriched uranium that it burns and the plutonium it produces can be used to make nuclear weapons. Many countries without nuclear weapons have access to the technology and materials to develop nuclear bombs. What countries have this technology and how great is the risk of terrorists obtaining these materials?
How great is the danger of America’s nuclear facilities being targets for terrorist groups and what is being done to ensure the safety of our nuclear power plants?

Supporting Activity: Process for Designing an Application
 
Write a 50- to 100-word response to the following question:
 

2 Describe a good process for designing an application for which the development team has no prior experience in the domain of the application. Leverage one of your past experiences if necessary.

 
Software Engineering: Modern Approaches
 
Write a 50- to 100-word response to the following questions:
 

3 How would you employ the agile practices of pair programming, frequent team interaction, and dedicated customer involvement in a distributed development environment?
 

 
4Suppose, as a supporter of architecture practices, you were asked to write an Architecture Manifesto that was modeled on the Agile Manifesto. What would it look like?
 

5. Agile project must be budgeted and scheduled like any other. How would you do that? Does architecture help or hinder this process?
6.  What do you think are the essential skills for an architect operating in an agile context? How do you suppose they differ for an architect working in a non-Agile project?
7 The Agile Manifesto professes to value individuals and interactions over processes and tools. Rationalize these statements in terms of the role of tools in the modern software development process: compilers, integrated development environments, debuggers, configuration managers, automatic test tools, and build and configuration tools.
 

8. Critique the Agile Manifesto in the context of a 200-developer, 5-million-line project with an expected lifetime of 20 year.
