Student Self-Directed Learning ME 476C – Capstone I Moving forward in your career you will find that systems, technologies and problems in need of solutions will evolve or even revolutionize from what you encountered as a student in engineering. To best adapt to these changes, it is critical that you learn to teach yourself new skills. A major educational objective of the NAU Mechanical Engineering program is to help you develop “an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.” This assignment is requiring you to identify a self-learning opportunity. You will be asked to self-learn a new skill (e.g. programming an Arduino microcontroller) and apply this skill to any engineering design activity (e.g. remotely control a robot) related to content in ME 476C. You will be required to do this twice during the semester. You may choose which skill you would like to apply to each assignment based on your interests, but it is highly advised that you do the tutorials that best contribute to your capstone project.

My self learning assignment is to learing about Image Processing Toolbox, what is MATLAB toolbox and how you can ues it to analysis 3-D or 2-D images such as MRI ( DICOM file). What are process in MATLAB you need to know to able to use Image Processing Toolbox.

You need to follow part 1 and 2 to do part 3 which is writing 2-4 pages about my self learning

Part II: Identify a way in which to further practice or apply the skill that goes beyond the instruction videos, text or in-person training. Next, actually apply the new knowledge by accessing equipment, materials and/or software to practice the new skills. Some examples are given below, but what application you choose is dependent on the skill that you are trying to learn. Apply it in some manner towards your capstone project. o Create advanced drawings of your project parts based on GD&T principles o Program an Arduino board (checked out from a library) to power or control your capstone device or a prototype version of it. o Machine a part for a prototype in your design project. o Write a MATLAB or C++ program which can plot some of your data or perform calculations for your analysis. o Perform statistical analysis of your data to understand difference among data sets and their variation as well as their effect on the performance of your design.

Part III: In a 2-4 page memo, communicate the following information about your self-learning experience: o What skill did you begin to learn and why are you learning it? What attributes of design is this skill developing? Provide evidence of your self-learning training. o How did you apply the new skills, and what are the results of this early practice (actual physical device, code or calculations)? Use photographs of prototypes, drawing files, code or graphs to communicate the results of the application. o Provide a reference list in IEEE format at the end of the report for all websites/videos/resources used in the option that you chose for this assignment. Assignment Deliverable: The only deliverable that will be turned in for a class grade is the memo in part III detailing what skill you learned and then practiced and/or applied. This Self-Learning memo is due by the posted due date on Bb Learn though most learning activities will be taking place earlier in the semester and completing the activity sooner will only help you succeed with your capstone project. If you have questions about what is an acceptable self-learning activity, please come see the professor during office hours. The grading rubric for this assignment will be posted on BBLearn.

Programming Task 2. The input consists of n numbers a1, a2, . . . , an. The goal is to determine a value t that can be obtained by adding two of these numbers and, moreover, the number of pairs of these numbers that add up to t is the largest possible (in other words, you need to find the most popular sum of two numbers in the list). Formally, your program will find a t such that the size of the set {(i, j) | i < j, ai+aj = t} is maximum among all possible t’s. For example, for 2, 7, 3, 1, 5, 6, we have: 2 + 6 = 7 + 1 = 3 + 5. This is the largest number of pairs that sum to the same number, and, therefore, t = 8. Describe an O(n 2 log n) algorithm for this problem, and implement it in Java or C++. (For an example of what I mean by “Describe …,” see the NOTE 2 at the end of this document). You must explain clearly why your algorithm runs in O(n 2 log n) time. Hint: The number of pairs (ai , aj ) with i < j is n 2
= n(n − 1)/2 = Θ(n 2 ), and so you can afford to consider all these pairs. Input specification: The input consists of two lines. The first line contains a positive integer n. The second line contains integers a1, a2, . . . , an, separated by spaces. You may assume that the input integers fit in int. You may also assume that n is positive and not larger than 10,000. Output specification: the output contains a single line with the number t. If there are multiple possibilities for t, output the smallest one. Sample inputs (see files) : input-2.1.txt input-2.2.txt Sample outputs : answer2.1.txt answer-2.2.txt Test your program on the following inputs: input-2.4.txt input-2.6.txt and report the results you have obtained.

You decide to estimate the following three regressions using the same sample of data (assume that sample size is 10,000):
wagei = b0 + b1 femalei + ui (1)
wagei = c0 + c2 malei + vi (2)
wagei = d1 femalei + d2 malei + ei (3)
where wage refers to average hourly earnings, u, v, and e are the regressions’ error terms, and
femalei = 1 if observation i refers to a female, and = 0 if observation i refers to a male
malei = 1 if observation i refers to a male, and = 0 if observation i refers to a female

HC433 Discussion 2 utilization reveiw

Utilization management and review is a process to determine if health care services are being used appropriately on a patient. Often, this process is completed by a group, in-house, that may not have the hands-on patient experience or clinical knowledge that physicians have. The result of the review may provide unrealistic expectations for the clinician.

Instructions:

• Assume the role of a manager and reflect on the utilization review process.

• Do you think utilization is a positive process? Explain why or why not in depth, utilizing external resources as appropriate.

• What changes would you recommend for this process?

C++ Data Structure

This assignment involves the writing of 2 CPP’s. To it’s clear which CPP goes with which “part” of the assignment, make sure that you have some reference to the part number in your file names (like part1.cpp or timingStudy.1.cpp for example).

INPUT FOR BOTH PARTS

An input file of 1,000,000 randomly generated names (one per line) is posted in this module. There are a few different versions of the file and it will serve as the input to both parts of the assignment. Choose the one that best suits you:

• Windows users: names_windows.txt
• Mac or Linux users: names.txt (this has the ^M’s removed)
• If you use the Cloud9 IDE, there is an upload limit which may prevent you from uploading large files. Use this compressed version, which you will need to unzip after uploading: names.zip

PART 1, PERFORM A SIMPLE TIMING STUDY

In this lab you will apply the “4-cycle timing code” posted to Canvas in this module: timingtests.cpp. The purpose is to prepare you for making “big oh” determinations and confirming them with timing studies.

The provided code reads a predetermined number of lines from the data file into a vector. This can be changed by changing the constant NLINES at the top of the file. You probably won’t need to change this, but keep in mind that the data file itself contains only one million lines so NLINES cannot be larger than that.

Write a C++ console app, applying the timing test code to an operation that requires scanning the entire array. Here are some examples. Try writing a loop that:

• Finds the shortest name in the array
• Finds the longest name in the array
• Counts how many times a particular first name occurs, like “Victoria”

To perform the timing tests, you will set the starting size with the variable n at the top of main(), which controls how many lines your algorithm will use for input. The string bigOh also represents your “guess” about your algorithm.

Start with n = 50,000 for the first cycle, and set bigOh to O(n) — that is, we expect that the time it takes to read the file is directly proportional to the number of lines read from the file.

In each of the 4 timing cycles:

1. Start the timer (with clock()).
2. Run your loop that processes n lines from the vector.
3. Stop the timer.

It is possible that caching may throw off the timing for the first cycle, so run your program more than once to see it work correctly. Your timings will not be an exact match for the ‘expected’ amounts each time, but should be close.

Example Output

0.0002 (expected O(n)) for n=50000
0.0004 (expected 0.0004) for n=100000
0.0008 (expected 0.0007) for n=200000
0.0015 (expected 0.0015) for n=400000

As n increases each time through the loop, you should see the timing increase proportionally, i.e. doubling the input should double the processing time.

If you’re seeing numbers that don’t make sense, your computer may be too fast! Try increasing NLINES and the initial ‘n’ to a larger number.

PART 2, BENCHMARK A NESTED LOOP SORT

In the second part you will make your own determination for the big oh of nested for-loop sorting of an array, and confirm your determination.

The nested for()-loop sort should use to this algorithm (with n as the number of strings):

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    for (int j = i + 1; j < n; j++)
      if (a[j] < a[i])
        swap(a[i], a[j]);

Write a C++ console app, applying the same timing test code from the module, to sort the names in your vector in ascending order. You decide what you expect the “big oh” to be, and what n to use for the first cycle.

Write your app to do the following:

1. Start the timer, perform the nested for()-loop sort, and stop the timer.
2. Write code to verify that each string in the array is greater or equal to the string before it, starting with the 2nd string. Use assert, like this:

for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
    assert (a[i - 1] <= a[i]);

To use assert() you may need to include the header file <cassert>. Assertions are used to abort the program if some unknown condition occurs, and are mainly enabled in “debug” or “developer” builds of the code, where the programmer wants to catch abnormal conditions as soon as possible. In “production” code (deployed into the real world), assertions are usually removed.

1. Output the results, which will look similar to part 1 but with different numbers.
