Write an essay focused on Raymond Carver’s short story collection, What We Talk
About When We Talk About Love. What is a central theme you see working
throughout the stories in the book? Explain how that theme is present through the
elements of Character, Setting, Point of View and Imagery. Draw from at least four
stories from the collection.

– Remember that the elements of a short story include the following: Plot,
Character, Setting, Point of View, Imagery, Language, and Theme.
– One strategy for determining a theme is to look at the stories that drew a strong
response from you; not necessarily the ones that you liked, though that’s fine,
but also the ones you found confusing or strange or that resonated with you.
– When drawing up a theme for Carver’s stories, avoid overly broad and vague
statements like “The stories are about love” or “The stories are about the
problems of adultery.” A theme should be a specific claim about a topic the
stories present.
– Draw from the stories themselves for specific textual support, namely quotes. you are critically analyzing the work and need to support
any claims, observations, and interpretations you make with concrete evidence
from the stories.
– Avoid summaries of the stories; assume your reader is already familiar with the
stories themselves, so what you are responsible for it explaining and supporting
your argument about Carver’s collection

Essay Length – 5-6 pages
Introduction – Must contain full name of author and full title of work so readers
know what you are focusing on.
Theme – Located in the introduction (usually at the end) and states the central
argument of your essay.
Body Paragraphs – Make sure you explain and clarify the connection between
the topic of the paragraph with your theme.
Conclusion – Restate the thesis using different words and end on some kind of
final observation, thought, opinion that encapsulates the stories you focused on

Read the assigned topics, then conduct further research into Aviation Safety Statistics over the Evolution of the Airline Industry, as you will use this knowledge in writing your Case Analysis (CA).

You will access an aviation accident statistic over many decades, analyze it, and provide an assessment.

Consider accessing the NTSB website (Links to an external site.) and scholarly journals to perform this task.

• • Provide a summation of the major events and findings. (in Summary)
    • Describe the various metrics that could be used to describe quantitative safety data.
    • Demonstrate your understanding of which benchmark metric is used to measure overall safety.
  • What was one major problem addressed? (in Problem)
  • What is the significance to the airline industry? To general aviation? (in Significance)
    • Evaluate this problem with respect to the airline industry changes over multiple decades via the inferential statistical data.
      • What has been the impact? Is this a new problem? Similar to an old one?
    • Compare and contrast safety data over the history of human flight with respect to changes made through accident investigation. (in Significance)
      • Has it gotten safer through analysis of accidents and the process of mitigating weaknesses?
      • Could accident investigation on previous accidents have prevented this? Are there examples where this happened before?
  • Based on a review of all major issues, choose two and expound on solutions provided and possible additions. (in Alternatives)
    • Do the solutions apply to risk management as it relates to airline safety initiatives and FAA mandates?
  • Make your recommendation going forward based on lessons learned. Could something else be added? (in Recommendations)

I have attached an example showing you. I want you to create the same shape as in the example. Three pages including the reference , please file Word.The paper will automatically be evaluated through Turnitin so make sure that every thing is good. Please answer all questions with absolute clarity. Please answer each section clearly, according to the questions asked.

Begin by creating a netlist for your SR-Latch. Your latch should have two inputs (S and R) and two outputs (Q and QN). Be sure to also include ground and VDD. Make each transistor of your latch minimum-sized (use the minimum width and length for each transistor).

Simulate your SR-latch to ensure that it works properly (use a transient analysis)–test setting Q to 1, holding this output value, resetting Q to 0, holding this output value, asserting set and reset at the same time, and holding this output value. I suggest that you create a subcircuit (in Spice, this is .SUBCKT) of your latch.

You then need to modify your code to create a fanout-of-4 (FO4) at each output of your SR-latch–this is one common way to add load to a circuit in order to more accurately measure its performance. To create a FO4 configuration, use two additional, identical copies of your latch as loads. Connect your Q output to both the S and R inputs of one of your load latches and connect your QN output to both the S and R inputs of your other load latch. You will measure the performance of your first latch and just use the other two copies as loads. You must also use a separate DC source for the VDD of each latch (this will ensure that you only measure the current of the first latch when calculating power and energy performance).

Obtain the following information from the initial FO4 simulation of your SR-latch and include this in your report:

1) Measure and record the rise-time of output Q (from 10% to 90% of VDD) and propagation delay (from S to Q) for the set operation. Also measure and record the fall-time of output Q (from 90% to 10% of VDD) and propagation delay (from R to Q) for the reset operation. I recommend using CosmosScope to make these measurements. Obtain a screenshot of the rise-time/fall-time and propagation delay measurements for either your set or reset operation.

2) Measure and record the average current required (the current from the supply voltage, VDD) during your SR-Latch’s (1) hold operation, (2) set operation, and (3) reset operation (again, I recommend using CosmosScope to make these measurements). Calculate the average power dissipated during your SR-Latch’s (1) hold operation, (2) set operation, and (3) reset operation. Also calculate the average energy dissipated during your SR-Latch’s (2) set operation and (3) reset operation. Obtain a screenshot of the waveform showing your average current measurement for either your set or reset operation.

3) Obtain a screenshot of a waveform of your inputs (S and R) and outputs (Q and QN) showing you first asserting set and reset at the same time, and afterwards, immediately performing the hold operation. Describe what behavior you are observing and why this is occurring.

Now resize your transistors (change the NMOS and/or PMOS widths) to obtain equal rise- and fall-times. Do this in your Spice subcircuit (to ensure that all of your latches (the SR-Latch being measured and the two load latches) are still identical). Now obtain the following information from the FO4 simulation of your resized SR-Latch and include this in your report:

4) List and explain the widths you chose for each of your transistors

• For example: what calculations did you perform, what was the sequence of changes/simulations you performed which led you to your final transistor values, etc.

5) Repeat steps 1 and 2 (from above) for your new, resized SR-Latch

6) Compare and explain these results with your initial, minimum-sized SR-Latch

• For example: how did the delays change (what percent increases/decreases and why?), how did the powers change (what percent increases/decreases and why?), etc.

7) Include all of your Spice code for your final, resized SR-Latch at the end

Answer the following in full sentences and a cohesive short essay format (at least 1 paragraph for each numbered section)

Topic:

1. Describe the specific technological and material differences that distinguish a Daguerrotype from a Calotype.

• • Think about what was unique to each process and what made did each medium/process do “better” than the other. What were the specific draw-backs to each compared to the other?

2. Explain how the technological and material differences of a Daguerrotype vs. a Calotype influence their formal and stylistic appearances. To answer this question, select 1 example of a Daguerrotype and compare/contrast its formal and stylistic features against 1 example of a Calotype chosen from the list below:

DAGUERROTYPES:

• • Daguerre, An Early Daguerreotype, Taken in the Artist’s Studio (c. 1837, daguerrotype) (Links to an external site.)
  • Sabatier-Blot, Portrait of Louis Daguerre (1844, daguerrotype) (Links to an external site.)
  • Daguerre, Shells and Fossils (ca. 1850, daguerreotype) (Links to an external site.)
  • Unknown photographer, Post-mortem Portrait of Infant Girl (1852, daguerreotype) (Links to an external site.)
  • Unknown photographer, Unidentified Dickerson Family Member (ca. 1855, quarter-plate daguerreotype) (Links to an external site.)

CALOTYPES:

• • Photographer unknown, Staff at William Henry Fox Talbot‘s commercial calotype establishment in Reading, Berkshire (1846, calotype) (Links to an external site.)
  • Hill & Adamson, Thomas Duncan ( c. 1844: calotype) (Links to an external site.)
  • Talbot, The Open Door from The Pencil of Nature (1844-46, calotype) (Links to an external site.)
  • Talbot, Articles of China from The Pencil of Nature (1844-46, calotype) (Links to an external site.)
  • Talbot, The Fruit Sellers(~ Sep 9, 1845, calotype) (Links to an external site.)

3. Discuss how the difference materials, processes, and formal appearance of Daguerrotypes vs. Calotypes relate to and reveal the larger debates that surrounded photography from its beginnings: namely, is photography a science or an art?

• • Think about if a Daguerrotype or a Calotype would be regarded as more/less scientific or more/less artistic. What kinds of expectations or standards are held by each of this disciplines: science vs. art? How do these early forms of photography play into these difference values and ideas?
  • Think about subject matter, too; what kinds of subjects and objects were captured in the Daguerrotype and Calotype that you chose to discuss? How is subject matter a meaning choice that also speaks to these larger debates surrounding photography?
