Watch the video of Gary Sloan, the Chief U.S. Operations Officer at Feed the Children, providing an overview of operations management and key functions as chief operations officer.

Mr. Sloan currently oversees operations in the U.S. for Feed the Children. For the past 15 years, he has provided executive leadership in developing U.S. programs and operations, including managing the Feed the Children network of distribution centers. Mr. Sloan has served on the boards of directors for several nonprofits that focus on helping children and families and has nearly 25 years of corporate leadership experience.

Describe, in no more than 250 words, the practices and processes in operations management. How do the three key aspects of inventory control discussed in the video apply to the “assignment problem in transportation?” What are some major differences in the supply chain process for nonprofit versus for-profit organizations? What values do you hope to bring to your organization to improve operations?

For the graphs provided, I need an analysis. These graphs are from a lab where we tested 3 shoes to determine the Co-Polymer Composition (ethylene vinylacetate) (EVA). The SAMPLES we tested are the graphs labeled “Hello Kitty”, “Toy Story”, and “Pink New Balance” 

The STANDARDS are labeled “AT1231”, “AT1821” and “SA340502”

Standard 1 (AT1231): Nominal wt% vinyl acetate- 12%

Standard 2 (AT1821): Nominal wt% vinyl acetate- 18%

Standard 3 (SA340502): Nominal wt% vinyl acetate- 40%

Questions to answer: 

???Which band(s) in the IR spectrum did you use to determine the ethylene content of the co-polymer? Which band(s) did you use to determine the vinyl acetate content? To which functional groups and vibrational modes do these bands correspond?

???For the standards, how do the absorbance intensities change as the composition changes?
Are these changes consistent with compositional changes? Explain

???Is it possible to distinguish between the three insoles with only ATR-IR?

1. ???Is this technique suitable for routine forensic analysis of copolymer samples? Justify your answer.

Download the assignment files. Remember to use the desktop versions of Google Earth and Excel, not the browser-based versions. You only need to upload your completed answer sheet document as a .pdf. Convert word to pdf.Links to an external site.

We are changing the assignment process slightly. There is now a dedicated file for you to fill out answers, called student answer sheet. This will make it easier for TAs to grade so they don’t have to keep scrolling through all of the questions in the submissions.

Read the information, do some independent research, and answer the questions that follow:

Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as having a T-score less than -2.5. Some people have low bone density. You may hear this condition called osteopenia. Osteopenia is defined as 10% to 25% below peak adult bone mass, or a T-score between –1.0 and –2.5 standard deviations below normal. Having a T-score between -1.0 and -2.5 is not “pre-osteoporosis” but it is very important for people with low bone density to develop a good plan to prevent bone loss and osteoporosis.

Answer the following questions:

1. Why are hip and lumbar vertebrae regions used fo r assessment of bone density?
2. What are some health-related complications associated with osteoporosis?
3. Is a T-score of -2.2 considered normal, osteopenia, or osteoporosis?
4. Is a T-score of 0 considered normal, osteopenia, or osteoporosis?
5. Describe two preventative measures reducing chances of developing osteoporosis.
