Identify the tasks the lieutenant must tackle in terms of police information systems and analysis of police information

Information flow is one of the most important factors in shaping the function of the police. The police administrator or lieutenant is dependent upon the flow of data in order to base his decisions regarding future police directions. He requires two basic kinds of information in his decision-making task. These include; operational data which measures the effectiveness of regular operating procedures and meeting demands imposed by unusual occurrences, and management data, which include budgeting, fiscal and workforce allocations (Cordner, 2016, p.335). Some information that is useful to the lieutenant that is useful for decision-making includes, the existence of an ...

In physics, the word ultrasound refers to a sound with a frequency that cannot be heard by humans. Ultrasound/ Sonography imaging, therefore, uses sound waves to provide pictures inside a body so as to diagnose the cause of pain, infection or swelling in the internal organs. It can also be used to examine the condition of a fetus in pregnant women as well as the brains and hips of infants. Primarily, this technology can also be used to guide health practitioners during biopsies, diagnose heart conditions, and assess damages after a heart attack (Hamdi, Boughariou, Guedri, & Boussofara, 2016). Today, ...

Introduction Wheat (Triticum sp.), an extensively adapted crop, is one of the primitive and primary staple food crops in the world. Wheat is cultivated from temperate; dry to irrigated or rain-fed areas, to warm, humid or cold conditions. Such a high adaptability is attributed to its intricate genome (Acevedo et al., 2002). Wheat cultivation covers more land area compared to other commercial crops and endures to be an essential food grain for humans (Curtis, 2002). Estimations reveal that by 2050, the population of the world will reach 9.1 billion (34 percent greater than today); correspondingly, the food requirement and ...

Transcriptional regulation of gene expression

Gene expression in eukaryotic cells is regulated at transcriptional, post transcriptional and translational levels (Tomizawa,  Lekstrom-Himes, and Xanthopoulos 17). Transcriptional control is the primary means of regulating gene expression. Eukaryotic transcriptional control functions at three levels: modulation of the activities of activators and repressors; variations in chromatin structure; and effect of activators and repressors on assembly of initiation complexes (Lodish et al. 368). Regulation of transcription initiation is the most widespread form of gene control in eukaryotes. However, in some cases, transcription may be attenuated and regulated at subsequent steps, such as during or after the transcription process (Cooper ...

The crash of Air France 447 is considered the biggest disaster ever to hit Air France and Airbus since the beginning of their venture into this industry. All of the 228 passengers and crew of the flight were killed in this accident (Palmer, 2013).

Introduction

Taking measurements may require the conversion of the measured quantity to electrical quantity. Transducers are devices or elements that perform this function by transforming physical quantities such as quantities like sound, light, or temperature into electrical signals like current, voltage, or capacity. Transducers consist of inputs, sensing elements, transduction elements, signal processing, and electrical outputs. The inputs known as the measurands are the quantities, states, or properties that are to be translated into electrical outputs. The sensing elements accurately measure these input energies and sends the information to the transduction elements to be transformed into the desired form. The ...

Abstract

In this experiment, benzene was treated with hydrogen in the presence of Pt/SiO2 as an example that can be applied on industrial operations to show that the most recently modernized methods of neutron total scattering that cover a wide Q-range allow the use of appropriate catalytic chemistry that can be measured on time domain to probe directly on site the hydrogenation of benzene within the catalyst pore. Based on this method, it is possible to study the rates of reaction on length scales that can provide measurements equivalent to the size of an atom or a nanometre. Furthermore, the ...

(Tovrov, 2012). Cheaper, higher resolution, and complex satellites are being sent into the earth's stratosphere, some ...

Introduction

Tooth development involves a complex process whereby teeth are formed from embryonic cells, and then eventually mature after erupting as evident in the mouth (Eckhardt, Jágr, Pataridis, & Mikšík, 2014). The development usually originates from mesoderm and ectoderm. At the ectoderm found in the oral cavity, there is the development of enamel and other tissues also come from associated mesenchyme. All teeth don’t develop at the same time, but rather in stages (Eckhardt, Jágr, Pataridis, & Mikšík, 2014). First buds are always observed in the region of anterior mandible, followed by anterior maxillary area then finally ...

The invention of the scanning tunnelling microscope, in 1982 resulted in the emergence of a whole new category of microscopic techniques. All these techniques fall under the family of probe microscopy, which basically involves the interaction of a sample with the sharp tip of a probe at distances of the order of a few μm to a few nm. The atomic force microscope (AFM) is one such scanning probe microscope that builds an image that describes the surface topology of a sample based on the atomic forces of interaction between the tip of the probe and the sample surface. ...

Travelling to another planet is referred to interplanetary spaceflight. The term is usually used when travelling to a planet within the same planetary system (Fisher 1). The human race has made tremendous strides in space exploration. Man has made it to the moon and back, which was a great achievement for science as well as the human race. Man may not have stepped onto another planet yet, but significant achievements have been made in interplanetary exploration.

Introduction

Learning is perhaps the most important goal for every student. However, few students can be termed as strategic learners. Most of us do not know how to maximise what we learn so that in the end we find ourselves wallowing in shallowness, never actually learning what we purport to have learned. There is need, therefore to understand what constitutes strategic learning, the kind of learning that is not easily forgotten and the role of reflective practice in strategic learning. This paper, therefore, seeks to explain how a learner can employ reflective practice as an aspect to strategic learning. In ...

It is a widely accepted fact of that technology, especially information technology, has impacted almost every aspect of modern life, including counterintelligence. Generally, the advancement of modern technology has most notably affected counterintelligence by adding yet another layer of complexity to a “wilderness of mirrors” where “truth, lies, and deception commingle in perhaps the most sophisticated manner” (Moravej & Diaz, 2007). To be sure, technology has made counterintelligence both easier and harder. On the one hand, technology makes counterintelligence easier as a result of the fact that nowadays almost everyone, including foreign intelligence personnel, must make use of or have ...

The researchers mostly define the homunculus as an area of the brain where different functions of the human body are mapped out. These different parts of the body had been mapped out different scientists through extensive research, and the start of this research was in 1930 when Wilder Penfield and his colleagues stimulated the brain using electrical impulses to first map out the different areas of the brain which controlled different functions of the various body parts. These are findings that have been made possible by studying repeatedly the brains that lose their ability to function normally. Through this ...

I. UNDERSTANDING THE DISEASE AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY 1. How is acid produced and controlled within the gastrointestinal tract? The production of acid occurs in the stomach by cells that are therein. The cells found in the stomach produce intrinsic factors and hydrochloric acid. There are chemical messengers that help during the activity. They are histamine, gastrin and acetylcholine. Gastrin helps in stimulating the cells to produce secretions when food enters the stomach. An enzyme somatostatin inhibits the secretions when needed. The digestion takes place in three phases; the cephalic phase, gastric phase and the intestinal phase. It is in the ...

A Dissertation Methodology

The electro-microprobe technology Modern geochemists (Donovan et al, 2003) generally agree that modern electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) is bringing the most precise and most accurate chemical analyses for solid specimens today. Moreover, these highest-quality results can be brought to routine achievements under carefully crafted analytical protocols. The modern EMPA technology already incorporates qualitative and quantitative analytical methods in a non-destructive mechanism even from micron-sized samples of surface materials at a sensitivity of many parts per million (ppm) (Cameca, 2012). In fact, a number of EMPA equipment today can incorporate one or two others of the four major surface and ...

Introduction

It was in 1993 when dozens of girls in Chihuahua, Mexico were murdered and dumped around the city to be left out as if they were garbage (Wright, 2011, p.707). The number of murders grew over the years, as police officers proved unable to control and find the perpetrators, until the protesters had become the activists. The town became a place of femicide, and currently, it has become a place of Narcopolitics. In this area, the connection between drugs and the dynamics of power appeared to be relentless. This took place even during the opium trade when Western imperialism ...

It has been close to two years since Malaysian Boeing MH17 being downed over the disputed territory of eastern Ukraine.

In any learning activity, it is important to conduct formative assessments that provide feedback on student learning. In this manner, facilitators can gauge if outcomes set at the beginning of the course are likely to be met. The assessment also serves to guide enhancements in the course and motivate learners to do better in the event that learning is found to be sub-optimal (Leung, Mok & Wong, 2008). A positive outcome is the optimization of time and resources spent in learning. The choice of method becomes more complex when adult students are not homogeneous in terms of language fluency, ...

Introduction

In looking at the history of thought, dualism has had many uses (Kim, 2003). The field of philosophy of mind dualism has been defined as the theory of the body and mind. The mind and body problem can be stated to be the problem. The reason for stating this fact is because of the relationship that exists between the body and the mind. The body is the physical properties while the mind is the mental properties. These two properties are stated to be part of the physical science. There are different types of mind and body dualism such as ...

1.1 Introduction In typical industrial applications, the machines and equipment involved require high electrical ratings, like high voltages and high currents. Different machineries have varying voltage and current ratings. These ratings should be followed in order that the equipment operates properly whenever needed. However, undesirable conditions, like voltages and currents above the prescribed ratings (usually called as faults), are not totally unavoidable. In these conditions, damages on the machinery might occur which can cause production issues and problems, and may even be hazardous to humans. These conditions can be avoided by integrating protective circuitry within the electrical systems. ...

DNA DAMAGE

1. Introduction The p53 gene is a tumor suppressor gene that is activated whenever a cell is subjected to cell damage. The p53 gene determines whether a cell should survive a damage or should undergo apoptosis. These decisions are regulated by posttranslational modifications. Phosphorylation of the serine 46 residue is one such modification that is relevant to this study. However, it is unclear why a Ser46 phosphorylated p53 favors apoptosis over survival (Feng et al. 2006, p. 2812; Taira et al. 2014, p. 717). Studies have shown that the elusive molecular mechanism of Ser46 phosphorylation of p53 induce apoptosis in the tumor ...

The Roman and the U.S. Empire: A Close Comparison

Introduction

Both of these empires characterized a certain centrality (p. 3). During the Roman Empire, Rome was the capital of the empire. The flows of tribute and taxes from the Roman provinces were directed there and to the primary armies. The empire, although, was not circular. It was an east-west extension, as required by the differences in the communications links provided by the Mediterranean and the boundaries of the Sahara and the Alpine ranges (p. 3). The Roman Empire began the Roman Republic when Julius and Augustus Caesar changed it from a ...

Introduction/background

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an organism that can exist either as a singled-cell organism or as pseudomycelia. It is used in many scientific studies. It is commonly known as baker’s yeast. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is widely employed in scientific studies mainly due to the following reasons: it has a sequenced genome, it is easy to maintain in the lab, researchers can easily manipulate its genetics, and it grows rapidly. Saccharomyces cerevisiae can live with two genomes (diploid, n=32) or one genome (haploid, n=16). Consequently, the organism can undergo meiotic differentiation. In diploid phase, cells of the saccharomyces cerevisiae are more resistant to ...
