  • During your Kale (2014) readings this week, you were taken through an overview of the history of networking. One of the major achievements was the invention of the Transmission Control Protocol, also known as TCP/IP. Despite being invented way back in 1974, it has become the most significant transport protocol used across the Internet today.

Please describe the TPC/IP protocol, and the major advantage it gives over simple UDP. Then list at least seven protocols that use TCP/IP as their underlying means of transport.

 

  • In recent years cloud computing popularity has soared. It seems to be everywhere. The very system you are using to read this message (Blackboard) is cloud-based and sold using the “software as a service” (SAAS) model.

Despite its popularity, there are still some areas where cloud computing is not the best solution. Please research and give me three different scenarios where this is the case, and then provide details on the reasons why for each scenario?

Making strategic decisions are part of the territory when it comes to the job of an analyst. You’ll need to decide what to do in a given circumstance and then answer questions to explain your decisions.

This scenario is the foundation of lessons 5, 6, 7, 8, covered in the textbook.

Part A: Product Differentiation

Part A refers to the material discussed in Lesson 5 of this course. Using logical, clear writing, do the following:

  1. Define product differentiation and discuss the role that customer perceptions play in product differentiation.
  2. Identify the three broad categories of product differentiation and two bases of differentiation under each category.
  3. Explain the relationship between product differentiation and managerial creativity.

Part B: Flexibility and Real Options

Part B refers to the material discussed in Lesson 6 of this course. Using logical, clear writing, answer the following:

  1. What is strategic flexibility? Why is it thought of as a third generic business-level strategy?
  2. What are strategic options?
  3. What are real options?

Part C: Collusion

Part C refers to the material discussed in Lesson 7 of this course. Using logical, clear writing, answer the following:

  1. What is collusion?
  2. What are the two types of collusion and how are they different?
  3. How does signaling relate to collusion?

Part D: Vertical Integration

Part D refers to the material discussed in Lesson 8 of this course. Using logical, clear writing, do the following:

  1. Define vertical integration and differentiate between forward vertical integration and backward vertical integration.
  2. Identify the three fundamental explanations of how vertical integration can create value and discuss how value is created under each.
  3. Identify three reasons a firm may be able to create value through vertical integration when most of its competitors are not able to create value through vertical integration.

 Robust induction of neural crest cells to derive peripheral sensory neurons from human induced pluripotent stem cells

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-60036-z#citeas – article

1)  What is the neural crest? What happens to the neural crest in development? If it is not the source of central nervous system (CNS) cells, what is?

2)  Induced pluripotent stem cells made to differentiate are obviously found in a culture dish, not in the neural crest of a 28-day embryo. How then do the authors establish that the cells are neural crest cells? What are some of the specific markers that identify such cells?

3)  What type(s) of cells are involved in the sensation of itching? What are some of the specific signaling molecules and their receptors that contribute to itching?

4)  In Figure 1, what are
APC
Alexa Fluor 488
IgG
IgM
p75
HNK1

5)  In figure 3, cells are stained with antibodies to NANOG or OCT3/4, as well as DAPI. What’s the point of looking for NANOG and OCT3/4?
What is DAPI, and what does its appearance in the cells tell you about the cells? Why are the cells used permeable to DAPI?

6)  What is nociception? Why use that term instead of something simpler? What method(s) do the authors use to stimulate nociception? How do they measure/detect it? I’m mainly talking about figure 5 here.

7)  Where do histamine, capsaicin, and allyl isothiocyanate come from normally? What are they capable of inducing at a cellular level?

8)  Interleukins have roles other than mediating nociception. What do IL-31 and IL-4 do aside from making you itchy?

9)  Bone morphogenic protein (BMP) maintains the pluripotent state of stem cells, blocking neural differentiation.
How does Noggin interact with this system?

10)  The cells most desired by the authors of this paper are probably?  ( MCQ) options are –

a) Cells expressing HNK1, a surface marker for migrating and proliferating neural crest cells

b) Cells expressing the neural growth factor receptor p75NTR

c) Cells expressing both p75 and HNK1

d) Cells that can take up the DAPI stain

DQ (P) – Discussion Question 1 – (PDQ directed at upcoming PA) Graduate Level

Prior to reading this DQ, please read the PA1 assignment and understand what the assignment is asking you to complete. Once you have an understanding of the PA1 assignment, please continue to the paragraph below to complete DQ1.

Using the Library Information Resource Network (LIRN), JSTOR, or any other electronic journal database, research eight (8) peer-reviewed articles that can be used to answer your upcoming PA1 assignment. Your discussion should summarize the articles in such a way that it can justify any arguments you may present in your PA1 assignment and should be different from the abstract. In addition to your researched peer-reviewed article, you must include an example of the article researched as it is applied by industry (company, business entity, and so forth).

Please note: This article summary should not be the only article researched for your PA1 assignment. You may (and should) have several other articles researched to fully answer your PA1 assignment. The concept of this DQ is to allow students to be proactive in the research necessary to complete this assignment. You may use your article summary, partially or in its entirety in your PA1 assignment.

Important: Please ensure that your reference for the article is in correct APA format, as your reference in your discussion post. Depending on which electronic database you use, you should see a “Cite” selection for your article. In addition, there should be a variety of articles summarized and as such, students should have different articles summarized. Your summary MUST include ALL of the following in your DQ post (include every item in the bullet list below, or you will not receive full credit):

Do these in order:

  • In correct APA format, write the Reference of the article.
  • Clearly state what the article is about and its purpose.
  • Describe how you will use it in your upcoming assignment.
  • Repeat for a total of eight (8) peer-reviewed sources.
