CERN Research

An important value of CIW is being informed of recent research endeavors. This assignment is a summary of CERN’s endeavor to improve the speed of the Internet.

Joseph Hillhouse

Due: 9/15/08

CERN 5th

CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research. They have been working on

developing an advanced of the Internet called The Grid. It is 10,000 times faster the broadband.

Grid computing is an application of the World Wide Web. It was invented at the beginning of the

90s. CERN had 2 major Grid projects which include: the LHC and the EGEE. The LHC grid is

to provide the power and the space for the LHC. The EGEE Grid is used by a wide range of

research communities. This technology is very useful. During April, the Grid was used to

research to cure a disease.

PHP Research

Another value of CIW is independent learning. This research project was to choose a technological topic: programming language, system development, etc. and develop business presentation skills by presenting it to the class.

I chose to research PHP.

PHP

Server-Side

Scripting Unmasked

Objectives

• Understand what PHP is and its

uses

• Understand basic functions of

PHP

• View examples of Advanced

PHP scripting

What is PHP?

• PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext

Preprocessor

• PHP is a server-side scripting

language

• PHP scripts are executed on the

server

• PHP supports many databases

• PHP is free to download and use

What is the purpose of

PHP?

• For a website to communicate

with a server

Basic Syntax of PHP

• A scripting block always starts with

<?php and ends with ?>

• Is normally contains html and can be

anywhere

• Each line of code ends with a

semicolon;

• “echo” and “print” are basic

commands that print to screen

• // makes 1 line a comment

• /* makes a comment block */

Example

• <html> <body>

• <?php

• echo “Hello World”;

• //This is a comment

• /*

• This is a comment block

• */

• ?>

• </body> </html>

Variables

• Must start with $

• <?php

• $text = “Hello World!”;

• $number = 16;

• ?>

• Variables can only contain (a-Z,

0-9, and _ ) NO SPACES

Using String Variables

• <?php

• $text = “Hello World!”;

• echo $text;

• ?>

Date

• date(format, timestamp)

• Format – d, m, Y

• <?php

• echo date(d.m.Y);

• //shows todays day.month.year;

• ?>

CIW II

Advanced Certified Internet Webmaster

Project Management

One goal of CIW II is to implement and reinforce skills learned in CIW I to be effective in a business environment.

This project exemplifies this goal by covering the project life cycle in depth.

CH. 3 PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Learning to manage time and resources

The Project Life Cycle

The project life cycle is made up of 5 phases:

Closing

Evaluate the project and determine what worked well and what didn’t. A project is a success if it meets goals within budget before the deadline.

Executing

The work is performed, progress is monitored and corrective action is taken. During this process the actual work of designing and creating the Web site is taking place.

Planning

The specific ways that you are going to achieve the goals and objective of your web development project.

Initiating Sets the foundation for Web Development projects based on customers need.

Initiating Phase

Scope

• Determine the goals of the website

• Determine the tasks that need to be performed.

Needs Analysis

• Identifies the problems, challenges or needs that the project must resolve or address.

Statement of Work

• A contract to initiate a project which contains project goals and specifies how those goals will be met.

Planning Phase

Project Schedule

• Planned dates and goals are set

Meet with Team

• Identify Roles

Executing/Controlling Phase

Conceptualization

Structure

Design and Analysis

Production and Testing

Evolution

• Process of developing the vision and strategy of the website

• Encapsulates the overall objectives of the site

• Involves preparing the transactional, navigational, and hierarchical construction of the Web site’s content.

• Designer’s work begins creating the look and feel of the website

• Develops site by combining graphics, multimedia, and XHTML.

• Refines and updates site.

Closing Phase

Evaluates Project: Schedule, Budget, and Scope

• Changes to improve development in future

• Is successful if meets goals within budget and time limit

AP CALCULUS AB

Extreme values and derivatives The goal is this project is to illustrate how

derivatives can find the extreme values of an equation and the concavity to create a sketch.

(Note: AP Calculus is considered an IT course taken concurrently with a core IT course.)

x4+3x3-2x2-10

Where -3≤x≤1

Joseph Hilllhouse Ms. Keith 2nd AP Calculus AB

The derivative is: 4x3+9x2-4x

The steps are:

� Critical Points of f(x) are where the derivative is 0 and/or undefined.

0 = 4x3+9x2-4x

Step 1: Factor out an x Result: 0 = x(4x2+9x-4) Step 2: Set x equal to 0 and 4x2+9x-4 equal to 0 Result: x = 0 0 = 4x2+9x-4 Step 3: Use Quadratic Equation to solve 4x2+9x-4 for x. Result: x = = x = = x≈0.38 x≈-2.63

� Extreme values (the global and local maximum and minimum) are the critical points and/or endpoints.

Critical Points: x=-2.63 x=0.38

End Points: x=-3 x=1

� When the derivative is negative (-), f(x) is decreasing; when the derivative is positive(+), f(x) is increasing. Extreme values are where f(x) changes (increasing or decreasing).

� The following chart can assist in determining where f(x) decreases and increases.

f’(x)

f(x) -3 -2.63 0.38 1

Step 1: Evaluate values between numbers in the chart in the derivative and write if it is – or +. Step 2: For values the are -, draw a downward curve in f(x) and values that are +, draw an upward curve in f(x).

f’(x)

f(x) -3 -2.63 0.38 1

+ - +

� Step 1: Evaluate each of the critical points and end points in f(x).

� Step 2: Determine which one is the lowest and the highest which become the max and min.

f(x) = x4+3x3-2x2-10 f(-3) = x4+3x3-2x2-10 -> (-3)4+3(-3)3-2(-3)2-10 = -28 f(-2.68) = x4+3x3-2x2-10 -> (-2.63)4+3(-2.63)3-2(-2.63)2-10 = -30.56 f(0.38) = x4+3x3-2x2-10 -> (0.38)4+3(0.38)3-2(0.38)2-10 = -10.10 f(1) = x4+3x3-2x2-10 -> (1)4+3(1)3-2(1)2-10 = -8

Max: x=1 -> (1, -8) Min: x=-2.63 -> (-2.63, -30.56)

� From our chart we can tell where f(x) is increasing and decreasing.

f’(x)

f(x) -3 -2.63 0.38 1

+ - +

Increasing: (-3, -2.63), (0.38, 1) Decreasing: (-2.63, 0.38)

� Concavity is where f(x) is concave up or concave down. � Where f’’(x) is -, f(x) is concave down. Where f’’(x) is +,

f(x) is concave up. � Where f’’(x) is 0 or undefined are the points of inflection

where concavity changes. Step 1: Find the 2nd derivative

Result: 12x2 + 18x - 4 Step 2: Solve for 0 or undefined. Using quadratic equation x ≈ -1.69 and x ≈ 0.20 Step 3: Draw a table with the points of inflection.

f’’(x)

f(x) -3 -1.69 0.20 1

Step 4: Evaluate values between the numbers in the chart in f’’(x) and write + or –. Step 5: Draw down parabola for – and up parabola for + in f(x).

+ - +

� Now we know max and min, where it is increasing and decreasing, the point(s) of inflection, and the concavity.

� Next we can draw a sketch.

Max: x=1 -> (1, -8) Min: x=-2.63 -> (-2.63, -30.56)

Increasing: (-3, -2.63), (0.38, 1) Decreasing: (-2.63, 0.38)

Points of inflection: x = -1.69 -> (-1.69, -22.04), x = 0.20 -> (0.20, -10.05) Concave Up: (-3, -1.69), (0.20, 1) Concave Down: (-1.69, 0.20)
