(Additional Information)

Situational, Path-Goal, Transformational, and Adaptive Leadership Approaches

One of the more widely recognized approaches to leadership, the situational approach focuses on leadership in different situations, or the leadership style must be altered or adapted to the requirements of different workers and situations for the leaders to be effective. The path-goal approach focuses on enhancing worker performance and satisfaction by leaders choosing behaviors and providing information and rewards to increase worker motivation. One of the current and more popular leadership approaches, the transformational approach focuses on transforming workers and entire organizations through confident, charismatic, and visionary leadership by addressing worker motives, needs, and emotions while strengthening trust and confidence.

The adaptive approach focuses on leaders who prepare, support, motivate, and mobilize workers to effectively adapt to challenges and also changing circumstances. These leadership approaches are concerned with how the leader reacts to the workers. This week’s assignment will address the situational, path-goal, transformational, and adaptive leadership approaches and how you might utilize this information to benefit your leadership style.

Write a description of a festival you are attending

More details;

Article describing a festival we attended

Tip

When we write an article describing a festival, event or celebration we attended, we usually write four paragraphs. In the introduction we include general information about the event such as its name, where and when it is held and what the celebration is for. The second paragraph we write about the preparations for the event. In the third paragraph we describe the actual event itself. In the conclusion, we write our impressions, reactions and recommendations. We usually use present tenses to write about something that happens every year or continues for some time and past tenses to describe our actual experiences at the event. Additionally, we use adjectives to make our description more interesting. We can also use the passive when the activity is more important than the agent.

Example

Indian Festival

The Milwaukee Native American Indian Festival is truly and amazing event. For three days in September every year, thousands gather in Milwaukee, USA, to celebrate Indian culture. Last year, I was lucky enough to attend the festival and experience it for myself.

The preparations take months. Dance teams from all over the country practise to compete in the tribal Pow Wow dance contest. Indian craftsmen work to produce the many traditional items on display. Then, in the week before the festival, the stalls are put up and the food is prepared, so that everything will be ready for the big day.

The celebrations began at 4pm and there was plenty to see and do. I visited a traditional Indian village, watched skilled craftsmen carve totem poles, and even learned how to do tribal Indian dancing. It was also a great opportunity to sample some traditional native dishes, like corn bread and buffalo burgers.

The festival was fun, entertaining and educational. It was a wonderful way to learn about Native American culture and celebrate the end of summer.

Firstly, Perth International  Co., an Australian multinational company, forecasts 68 million Australian dollars (A$) earnings next year (i.e., year-one).  It expects 58 million Chinese yuan (CNY), 42 million Indian rupees (INR) and 40 million Malaysian ringgit (MYR) proceeds of its three subsidiaries in year-one. It also forecasts the year-one exchange rates A$0.3568/CNY, A$0.0413/INR and A$0.6574/MYR.
Calculate the total Australian dollar (A$) cash flow for year-one. (enter the whole number with no sign or symbol)

Q2. Secondly, Perth International anticipates a 5.46 per cent increase in the year-one income of its subsidiaries in year-two. It has information that the current 5.44 per cent, 7.75 per cent, 13.08 per cent and 10.43 per cent nominal interest rate in Australia, China, India and Malaysia, respectively, will remain the same in the next three years. Due to foreign currency higher nominal interest rate, subsidiaries will invest 26 per cent, 51 per cent and 39 per cent of their year-two earnings in China, India and Malaysia, respectively, for next year. Subsidiaries will remit their remaining incomes (i.e., after investment) to the Australian parent.

Perth International believes in the Purchasing Power parity with considering a 2.11 per cent real interest in Australia, China, India and Malaysia to calculate the expected foreign currency value against the Australian dollar for year-two based on the year-one exchange rates A$/CNY, A$/INR, and A$/MYR.
What is the total Australian dollar (A$) cash flow for year-two? (enter the whole number with no sign or symbol)

Calculate the current value of the Perth International Co. using its expected cash flows in year-one, year-two and year-three. (enter the whole number with no sign or symbol).

How many iron atoms are there per carbon atom in 4130 steel?

/in /by

1. How many iron atoms are there per carbon atom in 4130 steel? Show your work. (1 points) Iron = 97.03% to 98.22, % iron =97.625%. Carbon = 0.280 to 0.330, % Carbon = 0.305%.

How many iron atoms are there per carbon atom in 4130 steel

The Big Twist Final Project- Phase 1

1. How many iron atoms are there per carbon atom in 4130 steel? Show your work. (1 points)
Iron = 97.03% to 98.22, % iron =97.625%
Carbon = 0.280 to 0.330, % Carbon = 0.305%
Wt of fe = 97.625g, wt of C = 0.305g. Molecular wt of fe= 55.85g/mol, molecular wt of C= 12g/mol.
No. of Fe atoms = 97.625g/55.85g * 6.022×10^23 atoms = 10.522×10^23 atoms
No. of C atoms = 0.305g/12g*6.022×10^23 atoms = 0.153×10^23
Finally, No. of iron atoms per carbon atom = 10.522×10^23/0.153×10^23 = 68.77

2. For 1018 steel, how many iron atoms are there per carbon atom? Show your work. (1 points)
1018 steel is a plain carbon steel with0.18 wt%C.
We can assume that the remainder is iron (99.82 wt%Fe).
(0.18g C/99.82g Fe)*((mol C/12g C)/ (mol Fe/56 g Fe)) = (0.015mol C/1.7825 mole Fe) = 0.0084C/Fe This means there are ~ 8 C atoms for every 1000 Fe atoms. Or, said differently, ~125 Fe atoms for every C atom.

3. How can steel be processed to produce a martensite microstructure? Explain at least one reason why this structure has high strength. (2 points)

This structure has high strength because it is heavily saturated with carbon. In order to produce a martensite structure, steel has to be heated to really high temperatures to form the high temperature phase (austenite) and then martensite will form when it is cooled very quickly.

4. What happens to the microstructure of steel during the tempering process? (1 point)
Tempering is a process of applying heat to steel while keeping it below its eutectoid temperature to make the product tougher. During the tempering process martensite structure changes to ferrite and cementite which reduces the brittleness thus making the metal tougher.

5. What is the effect of tempering on strength and hardness? (1 point)
Cold: increased strength, decreased ductility, same elastic modulus and increased dislocation density. With the decrease of tempering temperature, the hardness of the steel increases and the and strength increases.
Hot: no strengthening, anisotropic behavior, poor surface finish and reduced dimensional accuracy. With the increase of tempering temperature, the hardness of the steel decreases and the toughness increases.

6. In one paragraph or less, explain what a tensile test is and why it was used by your team to test the samples of 4130 steel (Table 1). (1 point) A tensile test is a form of tension testing and is a materials science test whereby controlled tension is applied to a sample until it fully fails. It was used by our team so we would be able to record a yield and tensile strength, while also finding out the hardness and type of fracture the steel incurred. This will allow us to safely test the steel’s limitations.

7. Define yield strength and ultimate tensile strength. (1 point)

Yield strength: A stress value obtained graphically that describes no more than a specified amount of deformation (usually 0.002). Also known as the offset yield strength.
Ultimate tensile strength: The stress obtained at the highest applied force is the tensile strength, which is the maximum stress on the engineering stress strain curve.

8. Using only a few sentences, explain what a hardness test is and why it was used by your team (Table 1). (1 point)
A hardness test measures resistance to surface penetration of materials by a hard object. There are two types of hardness test (Brinell Hardness Test) and (Rockwell Hardness Test). We used a Rockwell Hardness Test (HRB) to determine how the materials properties such as strength, ductility, and wear resistance, changed throughout the thermal processing experiment.

9. Identify two possible sources of error for the results presented in Table 1. (1 point)
Uncalibrated Machines
Human Error

This is a paper that is focusing on the student to discuss the American Civil Rights movement impact on blacks. The paper also provides additional information to use in the writing of the assignment paper. Below is the assessment description to follow:

Discuss the American Civil Rights movement impact on blacks

The American Civil Rights Movement impacted the lives of blacks in both the North and South. James Baldwin argued in his book The Fire Next Time that second class citizenship for black Americans is a stain on the United States of America’s image as a Christian nation which stands for all that is morally right in the free world. Using this statement as a basis or point of view from which to write an essay, discuss the racial contradictions Baldwin cites in his book and what segments of American society help facilitate the production of these inequalities.

Also, discuss how this process effected his childhood and teenage years. Second, what leaders did he meet with, what are the topics of their discussions, and what were Baldwin’s impressions after? How were people of African descent beginning to experience freedom? Also, how did they go about obtaining their rights during the 1960s?. Last, in your estimation, what is the status of race relations in the United States and has there been real racial reconciliation among ethnic groups? Would you argue there is harmony and peace in our global community as it relates to racial and ethnic relations (How does this look now considering the current protest against police violence)?
Your Essay Should:

– Be a minimum of 3 pages (students aiming for a more detailed essay and higher grade will have much more).

– All questions posed through the prompt should be adequately addressed using information from the text.

– Please indicate page number using parenthetical citations for direct quotes. ex. (Baldwin, 8)

– Make sure that your answer is thoughtful, insightful and thorough.

– Make sure that you use your own original thoughts and do not cut and paste.

– Also, make sure that you use as many examples (info) used in the book and two articles.

– Lastly, add a works cited page with the full citation of the book. (use Chicago Manual of Style- search online for format)

Mali Empire

The
Mali Empire (1240-1645 CE) of West
Africa was founded by
Sundiata Keita (r. 1230-1255 CE) following his victory over the kingdom of Sosso (c. 1180-1235 CE). Sundiata’s centralised government, diplomacy and well-trained army permitted a massive military expansion which would pave the way for a flourishing of the Mali
Empire, making it the largest yet seen in Africa. The reign of
Mansa Musa I (1312-1337 CE) saw the empire reach new heights in terms of territory controlled, cultural fluorescence, and the staggering wealth brought through Mali’s control of regional
trade routes. Acting as a middle-trader between North Africa via the Sahara desert and the Niger River to the south, Mali exploited the traffic in
gold, salt,
copper, ivory, and slaves that crisscrossed West Africa. Muslim merchants were attracted to all this commercial activity, and they converted Mali rulers who in turn spread
Islam via such noted centres of learning as
Timbuktu. In contrast to
cities like Niani (the capital), Djenne, and Gao, most of the rural Mali population remained farmers who clung to their traditional animist beliefs. The Mali Empire collapsed in the 1460s CE following civil wars, the opening up of trade routes elsewhere, and the rise of the neighbouring
Songhai Empire, but it did continue to control a small part of the western empire into the 17th century CE.
