In what way did american and soviet soldiers work together to defeat the germans in europe?

1. Identify the potential sales and department store transactions that can be stored within the database.
2. Design a database solution and the potential business rules that could be used to house the sales transactions of the department store. 
3. Evaluate all relationships of each entity within your database solution using the Crow’s Foot notation. Include all data elements, entities, relationships (such as 1:M, 1:1, M:N), and cardinalities for the department store database in your diagram. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
4. Research the Internet for best practices of how retail stores use databases for retaining customers and increasing sales and complete the following:
   1. Justify how Big Data tools could be used for forecasting sales and inventory of the department store.
   2. Propose two (2) SQL Stored Procedures that use SQL functions to help sales associates perform explanatory or predictive analytics.
   3. Give your opinion on which of the two (2) ways you proposed in Question four (4) b provide greater value to expanding their business within the region.
   4. Provide a copy of your working SQL code as part of the paper.
5. Research the Internet for database vendors that provide cloud computing services and complete the following:
   1. Estimate the types of costs involved or the pricing structure required when implementing a cloud-hosted solution for a database. 
   2. Analyze security considerations and pricing of the different cloud implementation types.
   3. Rank the cloud services options of Software as a Service, Platform as a Service and Infrastructure as a Service in terms of functionality, mobility, and ability to provide distributed transaction concurrency. Compare how these cloud-based services fit within an environment where users are mobile. Determine the technical provisions that would be required to ensure data integrity.
6. Evaluate whether the use of a distributed DBMS structure is appropriate and identify the optimization techniques that should be factored in to enhance the operations of the database in your design.
7. Provide at least two (2) examples of how lost updates and uncommitted data may occur, keeping in mind that five (5) stores will be generating transactions.
8. Determine the concurrency control factors that can be used to ensure valid execution of transactions within the current multiuser environment.
9. Research the Internet for backup and restoration recovery solutions and database security threats that could be applicable to the department store. Upon your research, complete the following:
   1. Suggest at least two (2) options that could be made available to provide disaster management functions for the database system within the retail environment.
   2. Assess the types of security threats that may exist when managing the department store database and suggest measure(s) that can be performed to minimize these threats that are particular to retail.
10. Use at least six (6) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
• Include charts or diagrams created in Excel, Visio, MS Project, or one of their equivalents such as Open Project, Dia, and OpenOffice. The completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

• Compose conceptual data modeling techniques that capture information requirements.
• Prepare database design documents using the data definition, data manipulation, and data control language components of the SQL language.
• Describe the basic mechanisms for accessing relational databases from various types of application development environments.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in the strategic implications and management of database systems.
• Write clearly and concisely about topics related to the strategic planning for database systems using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions

Assignment Type: Individual Project Deliverable Length: 2 -3 Pages Points Possible: 120 Due Date: 4/1/2012 11:59:59 PM CT You have just been asked to teach the concept of adaptation to a psychology class. You decide to conduct the following experiments to teach the concept of adaptation. Task 1: Conduct three of the following experiments. Record your reactions, and be specific for each experiment. Experiment 1: Rub your index fingers gently over a piece of very coarse sandpaper a few times and rate its coarseness on a scale from 1 (very soft) to 7 (very coarse). After a minute or two, rub the same finger over the paper and again rate its coarseness. Did your perception of the coarseness change? How? Record your reaction. Experiment 2: Prepare one cup with sugar water and one with fresh water. Take a sip of the sugar water and swish it around in your mouth for several seconds without swallowing it. Gradually, it should taste less sweet. (Dispose of the sugar water) Taste from the cup containing fresh water. Did the taste of the fresh water surprise you? How? Record your reaction. Experiment 3: Take about 15 index cards and a flashlight that is opaque on all sides (so that light shines only through the front) into a very dark room. Place all 15 cards over the beam of light. Slowly remove the cards one at a time until you can barely detect the light, and then count the number of cards that remain over the light. After a few minutes, the light should begin to look brighter. When this is the case, add cards and see if you can still see the light. Repeat this process of gradually adding cards over a 15-minute period. Were you able to detect an increasingly dim light the longer you spent in the dark? Record your reaction. How many cards did it take to not see the light after time? Experiment 4: Fill 3 medium-sized bowls as follows: Bowl 1 – with very hot (but not painfully hot) tap water Bowl 2 – with very cold tap water Bowl 3 – with a mixture of the very hot and very cold water. Arrange them, so your right hand is in front of the cold water, your left hand is in front of the hot water, and the lukewarm water is in the middle. Submerse your hands into the water (right into cold, left into hot) for about 3 minutes After 3 minutes, quickly transfer both hands to the lukewarm (middle) bowl. What did you sense? Record your reaction. In all four experiments, you will experience adaption. Task 2: Write a paper that describes adaption and how you experienced it in your experiments. The paper should cover the following. Fully describe the process and results of the experiments that you chose. What is sensory adaptation? Explain the concept of sensory adaptation. Refer to your text for the definition of sensory adaptation (this is not the general dictionary definition) Explain how adaptation is evident in each of your experimental results. Provide a comprehensive description of the sensory systems that are involved in the experiments that you performed. This description should include what happens from the receptors to the brain. Your discussion should illustrate what was experienced in each experiment. Discuss how adaptation is important from an evolutionary perspective. Be sure to document your references using APA format
