Why do you think these practices are unethical using one of the ethical theories in your toolkit?Are you surprised or alarmed that so much of your personal data is available in this ecosystem?

Do you find any of these particular practices to be ethically questionable? What are those practices?

Why do you think these practices are unethical using one of the ethical theories in your toolkit?

Are you surprised or alarmed that so much of your personal data is available in this ecosystem?

Do you think the system ought to be changed to eliminate these practices and, if so, what changes would you suggest?

Explain how the performance of pH level control system can be compliant with environmental regulations and the treatment of wastewater. Provide two examples to explain the importance of a stable pH and its role in minimizing pollution in our ecosystem.

Control design of a pH neutralization plant for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment.

Explain how the performance of pH level control system can be compliant with environmental regulations and the treatment of wastewater. Provide two examples to explain the importance of a stable pH and its role in minimizing pollution in our ecosystem. [5 Marks]

For a neutral pH = 7 , using Laplace transforms and assuming zero initial

Construct a block diagram depicting an open loop arrangement for the signals and transfer functions defined in 2). [3 Marks]

Assume zero initial conditions and a step input with magnitudes 𝛼 and 𝛽 for each of 𝑑̅ (𝑠) and 𝑒̅ (𝑠) respectively. Find the concentration output 𝑦(𝑑). [10 marks]

Using MATLAB, produce a unit step response for the output 𝑦(𝑑) and verify the result by comparing it with the analytical result derived in 4). Select the time scales so that both the transients and the steady state output are visible. [10 marks]

Assuming 𝑑̅ (𝑠) = 0, specify the parameter values that needs to be changed for the speed of the response to increase. Explain and justify your reasoning using appropriate mathematical functions and step response plots? [5 marks]

Assuming a unity negative feedback loop, derive the following transfer functions

Verify that the closed-loop system is stable by graphically computing the poles and zeros. [4 marks]

Analytically calculate the steady state error due to the disturbance and the reference signal. What can you infer from the values obtained? [7 marks]

Prove that the output 𝑦(𝑑) will only track steady-state targets if there is an integrator in either a feedforward controller 𝐢(𝑠) or the plant 𝐺(𝑠). What other condition is required? In addition, using a mathematical derivation, specify the requirement for disturbance signals to be totally rejected, that is to have no steady-state impact on the output? [12 marks]

Use MATLAB to investigate how offset and performance varies as you change the scalar controller gain 𝐾𝑝. Give some generic conclusions based upon what you observe. [7 marks]

What questions would you have for a Deaf community member about this concept if given the opportunity to interview them in person (include a minimum of three questions per concept):

Explore two of the below concepts and demonstrate your knowledge and insight gained from that exploration:

Audism (Tom Humphries, 1975)
Deafhood (Paddy Ladd, 1993)
Deaf Space (Hansel Bauman, mid-2000s)
Deaf Gain (Aaron Williamson, mid-2000s)
Deaf Ecosystem (Kelby Brick, late-2000s)

Directions: Once you select two concepts, begin researching these concepts until you have a sufficient understanding of what it means and you feel comfortable with your ability to discuss the impact of learning these concepts has on you as a hearing individual.

Your research should include both text and videos. Many videos in ASL on YouTube are captioned, encourage you to view Deaf individuals’ insights on these concepts.

Ensure that your resources include multiple perspectives and not just one. The goal is to explore these concepts from the lens of the Deaf community while considering your own personal lens.

Identify the two concepts chosen :

Define these concepts in your own words based on your research (define it in a way that someone who has not yet researched the concept would understand):

List at least three resources per concept used to develop your definition (use direct links, book titles, etc. – text and video must be included):

Describe how these concepts is signed amongst the Deaf community:

In your own words describe how learning about these concepts has helped you to gain perspective of Deaf culture and the Deaf community:
