The project will consist of creating a simulation of an operating system scheduler handling multiple threads or processes. The student will create a program that launches 6 – 10 worker threads simulating a processor bound, I/O bound and an intermediate of the two types. The program will schedule the tasks using the First-Come, First-Served (FCFS), Shortest Job First, and Round Robin scheduling algorithms. The Program should be written in Java and the Round Robin algorithm should employ the suspend() and resume() thread methods (yes I know the methods are depreciated. Included as an attachment is a sample). The student will take statistics and will write a paper describing what they found. Provide a very detailed description of your project, including the goals of the project, the approach used, what you did, as well as lessons learned.

Write a preliminary draft of a proposal research paper concerning a solution to the problem of the cost of higher education. The prompt for this assignment is on pages 408 of your textbook.

Over the years, trait theory has been increasingly used by corporations in hiring and in career counseling. Research has shown that certain combinations of personality traits fit well with different career paths. Thus, personality trait tests for specific jobs can be predictive of both success and satisfaction. Understanding your own personality-trait combinations can give you great insight into your own strengths and weaknesses. With this understanding, you can work to grow your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.

In this assignment, you will explore your personality using a personality test and then analyze the results.

Part 1

First, explore your personality preferences by completing Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MTBI). The full version of the test can only be administered by a trained professional; however, there are many online informal versions of the test which you can find on the Internet. You can search for the test using any one of the following keywords:

• Personality test + Myers-Briggs typology
• Myers-Briggs test

Record your four-lettered personality type after completion of the test and use the Internet to interpret your personality type.

Part 2

In this part of the assignment, you will write a research paper that analyses your results. Do the following:

• Mention your four-letter type and the URL of the Web site where you took the test.
• Discuss whether this type accurately represents what you know about yourself. Examine the four spectrums and explain your answer thoroughly. Substantiate your agreement or disagreement with real-life behavioral examples.
• Analyze what you consider the strengths and the weaknesses or challenges of this type. List three strengths and three weaknesses and provide a rationale for each.
• Evaluate why this test could be a valuable tool for an employer.
• Analyze how a clinician may use this test as a tool for promoting meaningful interventions in treatment.
• Summarize what you have learned about yourself through this exercise.

Write a 3–4-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.

The relationship between income and health is not always clearly defined. For example, is it income alone that explains differences in health between those with higher income and those with lower incomes? Or is it the differences between income levels juxtaposed with other factors, such as education? Invariably, socioeconomic status, social class, and social position influence health outcomes across racial and ethnic groups, gender, and age. The impact of income on disparities in morbidity and mortality can be observed as you move along the income hierarchy. For this paper, view the media piece, Unnatural Causes: Episode 1 below. Think about how the information presented in the media relates to health disparities and well-being. Herbes-Sommers, C. (Producer), & Smith, L. M. (Director). (2008). Health in America [Video excerpt]. In L. Adelman (Executive producer), Unnatural causes: Episode 1—In sickness and in wealth. Arlington, VA: Public Broadcasting Service. Retrieved from http://www.unnaturalcauses.org/video_clips_detail.php?res_id=213 Submit 3-4 page paper of an explanation of how the lives of Jim Taylor, Tondra Young, Corey Anderson, and Mary Turner exemplify concepts like the wealth-health gradient and the importance of power and control. Explain what differences emerge when comparing data maps of disease rates in the Louisville council districts and how this relates to health disparities. Then, explain TWO findings from the Whitehall study that you found most profound for explaining the connection between health and wealth. Be specific and provide examples.
