INSTUCTIONS

An example of a debate on the limits of free speech occurred around the issue of the Stolen Valor Act. You can find more information regarding this case at the link below:

Stolen Valor Act case (Links to an external site.)

(note: you may listen to the oral arguments before the Supreme Court as well as read the full opinion announcement on this site)

Read the Stolen Valor Act decision (United States v. Alvarez) and discuss whether this was decided correctly with your classmates. The full decision, written by Justice Kennedy, is available at the above link (search for it on page).

One post is DUE by THURSDAY NIGHT at 11:59 pm (can be initial or reply to classmates). At least two additional post(s) that include interactions with at least two other students are due by SUNDAY NIGHT at 11:55pm. Minimum of 3 substantive posts for the week and please check and reply to classmates throughout the week.

You must use classmates first names in all replies when you address them at the beginning of your reply.

NOTE: We will need to have an interactive discussion, so please continue to check this discussion throughout the week. Discussions are best when you plan your responses and interact with classmates. I will need to withdraw students who do not participate.

Soft Soap operates in a monopolistically competitive industry producing beauty products. It is currently producing the profit-maximizing quantity of beauty products, but unfortunately, it is operating at a loss.
a. Draw a correctly labeled graph for Soft Soap and show each of the following:
i. The profit-maximizing price and output, labeled as Ps and Qs, respectively.
ii. The area of economic loss shaded accurately and completely.
b. What must be true in the short run for the company to continue to produce at a loss?
c. Assume that the demand for beauty products increases and now Soft Soap is earning short-run economic profits. Relative to this short-run situation, how does each of the following change in the long run?
i. The number of firms
ii. Soft Soap’s profits
d. In the long run, if Soft Soap continues to produce, will it produce the allocatively efficient level of beauty products? Explain.
e. In the long run, will Soft Soap be operating in a region where economies of scale exist? Explain.

Part I (5 marks)
As we progress through the Mobius questions we will conduct a single iteration of the (M/χ) analyses technique using more complex (and realistic) material properties as follows:
1) Linear elastic properties for both the reinforcement and the concrete (assuming that the concrete has no tensile strength and is therefore always cracked).
2) Linear elastic properties for both the reinforcement and the concrete (now assuming that the concrete has a finite tensile strength and so may either be cracked or uncracked), in this question we consider small curvatures such that the section is uncracked.
3) As for 2), but demonstrating the impact of higher curvatures which leads to the formation of an uncracked and cracked portion of the section.
4) Now assuming the reinforcement to be elastic plastic and that the concrete takes no tension – the elastic plastic assumption is commonly applied to reinforcement for ultimate limit state analysis
5) As for 4), but now assuming that the concrete is elastic plastic. Although not a very realistic approximation of the non-linear stress strain relationship of concrete, this assumption is often applied for simplicity.
Part II (10 marks)
Having established the procedure for conducting a single iteration, let us now apply the M/χ analysis technique to produce full M/χ relationships for a range of different material properties.
In doing this we will establish an understanding of the influence of material properties on section properties (stiffness, strength and ductility).
6) For the cross sections in Figure 1(a) draw a full moment curvature relationship based on the concrete material properties in Figure 1(b) and the reinforcement material properties shown in Figure 1(c). Modify the concrete stress strain relationship as a function of compressive strength using the factors in Table 1.

Discuss the concept of phase shift in oscillators and how it is controlled in oscillator circuits.

Question B

Discuss the Wien Bridge Oscillator circuit and why it is suited for audio applications.

Op-Amp Noise Theory

Discuss methods that analog signal designers can utilize to manage noise imposed on signals.

Question B

Discuss various ways in which to measure noise in MultiSIM and in physical circuits. Include a discussion of the various instruments that are useful in noise analysis

It is an argumentative essay about why we should take care of our mental health. I just need a rough draft and I can complete it by myself. It should be three reasons and each reason in one paragraph. I would like the draft to be at least 3 pages. it is ok to have some problem in grammar I can fix it.

Based on your analysis of the video and the results you obtained from completing the Entrepreneurial Potential Self-Assessment (Links to an external site.), evaluate and assess your motives and mindsets for being an entrepreneur.

Consider your responses to the following questions in your assessment:

• Evaluate your level of experience in a business similar to what you are planning to

• Define your suitability to be an entrepreneur from the perspective of people who know

• Describe how your family and friends demonstrate support for your business

• Identify the education you have on starting and managing a small

• Identify a trusted person who is or has been an entrepreneur who could be a
