“Hawaiian Bobtail Squid, Virus Reassortment, and Endophytes”
Many bacteria are helpful, rather than harmful, and some even form partnerships with other organisms. This week you will explore the power of bacteria and viruses. For your primary post, respond to one of the following three topics. Also, please reply to at least one fellow student on any topic.
Topic 1 : The Hawaiian Bobtail Squid and its bacterial endosymbiont. In a 4-minute video clip (1), Bonnie Bassler explains the relationship between the Hawaiian Bobtail squid and it’s endosymbiont, the bacterium Vibrio fisheri. Answer the following two questions about this arrangement:
(a) What are the main characteristics of the partnership between these two species?
(b) How does each species benefit?
Topic 2 [article]. Virus Reassortment and the Alaska Connection Read the article from MIT News (2) about tracking the spread of bird flu. Address the following:
(a) The article (2) describes genetic reassortment of influenza viruses. Explain how genetic reassortment works and what the significance of it is for humans and for domestic fowl.
(b) The article (2) explains that one way that influenza strains enters North America is through Alaska. Explain how that works and what the significance of it is for humans and for domestic fowl.
Topic 3 [article]: Endophytes that benefit plants. Read reference (3) or reference (4) or another article of your choosing about the relationship between plants and their endophytes. .
(a) Describe what an endophyte is and give a specific example.
(b) Provide an example of at least one beneficial effect of certain endophytes on their plant hosts.
Endophytes are living organisms that usually live within living plant cells (Hiruma et al., 2016). Their relationship with the plant usually varies from being pathogenic to symbiotic. Bacteria and fungi are what are referred to as endophytes. For instance, rhizobium bacteria is a good example of endosymbiotant in legumes as it fixes the nitrogen in the soil into proteins known as nitrates, which are used by the leguminous plants. Other examples include Rhodococcus rhodochrous and bradyrhizobium.
Rhizobium bacteria are very beneficial to legumes as it fixes the nitrogen in the soil into proteins that the legumes use in making of their food. Another example is Rhodococcus rhodochrous that is used in horticulture and agriculture because it prevents the growth of pseudomnoascus destructants in the soil.

Resource: Business Analysis – Learning Team Review and Recommendations Grading GuideThis assignment provides the Learning Team with an opportunity to examine a team member’s analysis in greater detail. By this time in the course, you have been exposed to the basic ideas of data analysis, have looked at multiple sources of data, and have learned how the data can be used within a data analysis program like SAS® Visual Analytics. Each member of the Learning Team will benefit from sharing recommendations and applying these ideas to their own analyses.
As the amount of data stored and managed in a database increases, the need to simplify the vast amount of data also increases. Briefly describe the following approaches to clustering: partitioning methods, hierarchical methods, density-based methods, grid-based methods, and model-based methods. Give examples in each case.

This assignment, your second research assignment, builds on the readings in Units 4, 5 and 6. Please use the pre-formatted Unit 6 APA Assignment Template, linked in the Resources. You may also consult the APA Style Template, also provided in the Resources, but be certain to complete your assignment using the unit-specific template.
The basic concept you will address is how ethics, human resources and talent, and information systems and knowledge management contribute to the overall performance of the organization. Pick three (3) specific articles, one from Unit 4 Ethics, Unit 5 HRM, and Unit 6 IS/KM—and then address them within each section of the assignment.
When conducting your research, be prepared to answer the following:
Introduction
Always begin all doctoral research papers by describing the purpose of the paper including the specifics of what will be covered in the body. Typical length is 150 to 200 words.
Theory–Article Deconstruction
Apply MEAL to deconstruct the selected three articles.
Main points for each article. Include at least three but no more than five points.
Evidence. What type of data is presented? Is it factually supported or an opinion? What are the sources of data?
Analysis. What type of analysis, evaluation, or application are presented in the article?
Linking. How well do the authors in each of the articles convey their ideas, facts, analysis and support? This gets at readability of each article
Typical length: 300 words per article.
Case Study Application
Select a Fortune 500 company for your case discussion. This company must be different than the one you used for the Unit 3 assignment.
Based on your analysis of the articles used in your research, present and align concepts to the specific case organization.
Typical length: 1600 words.
Conclusion
What conclusions can be drawn from the theories presented and the evidence applied to your case study organization? The conclusion is typically 150–200 words.
This section of every paper pulls together theory and application.
Learner Option
For those of you that want to build competencies faster, you have the option of preparing a table in the Theory section of the paper.
Insert a table which compares each of the three articles, using MEAL: how are they alike? How are they different?
Your faculty instructor will provide feedback on effectiveness.
Additional Requirements
Your submitted paper must meet the following requirements:
Use the assigned readings from Unit 4–6 and supplement with other literature to support your research.
Be a minimum of 1800 words in length: this is three double-spaced pages, excluding the cover page and reference list.
Follow current APA guidelines for style and format, including a cover page and headings.
Note: Your instructor may also use the Writing Feedback Tool to provide feedback on your writing. In the tool, click the linked resources for helpful writing information.
This guide is a helpful tool when constructing paragraphs and essays. Here’s how the MEAL
plan relates to essays and paragraphs.
Main Idea
Every paragraph should have one main idea. An essay or piece of writing similarly focuses on one topic. If you find that your paragraphs have more than one main idea, separate your paragraphs so that each has only one main point. The idea behind a paragraph is to introduce an idea and expand upon it. If you veer off into a new topic, begin a new paragraph.
Evidence
Your main idea needs support, either in the form of evidence that supports your argument or examples that explain your idea. If you don’t have any evidence or examples to support your main idea, your idea may not be strong enough to warrant a complete paragraph. In this case, re-evaluate your idea and see whether you need even to keep it in the paper.
This goes the same for writing an essay. The evidence should support the main argument of the writing assignment. If it does not, then your writing may lack focus and need to be revised.
Analysis
Analysis is the heart of academic writing. While your readers want to see evidence or examples of your idea, the real “meat†of your idea is your interpretation (analysis) of your evidence or examples:
• how you break them apart
• compare them to other ideas
• use them to build a persuasive case
• demonstrate their strengths or weaknesses
Analysis is especially important if your evidence (E) is a quote from another author. Always follow a quote with your analysis of the quote, demonstrating how that quote helps you to make your case. If you let a quote stand on its own, then the author of that quote will have a stronger voice in your paragraph (and maybe even your paper) than you will.
Link or Transition
Links help your reader to see how your paragraphs fit together. When you end a paragraph, try to link it to something else in your paper, such as your thesis or argument, the previous paragraph or main idea, or the following paragraph. Creating links will help your reader understand the logic and organization of your paper, as well as the logic and organization of your argument or main points. Key words that are ‘links’ include:

Topic -Greek philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle
The history of psychology is built upon understanding the work of particular individuals throughout history. Your textbook mentions several major and minor contributors to the understanding of psychology’s history. However, the textbook is one interpretation of the writings and thoughts of these historical figures. To have a better understanding of those thoughts, you need to read samples of the original works.
For this assignment, you will research something that has been written by an individual from the time period(s) being studied (choose a name from the textbook readings) this week.
The work must be something written by the chosen person, but need only be a sample of the chosen historical work and involve only a few pages of writing. Make sure the writing deals with the topics being covered this week.
There are several sources to use to obtain the works; the best place to start is to search for the person’s name on the Internet using Google but you can only utilize this to find information about the person. Use an original historical work by an author of your choice,
fter reading the material, answer these questions:
What were the main points of the writing?
What were the differences and similarities between what you read and what was written about the individual in the textbook?
Based on your own views of psychology, how does the author’s viewpoint fit into your current understanding of psychology?
NO PLAGIARISM I WILL CHECK AND YOU WILL NOT BE PAID THANK YOU
