Indoor air quality (IAQ) is referred to as “the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants” (US EPA, 2015). Indoor pollutant levels further determine the quality of indoor air, and one of the indicators used to measure IAQ is carbon dioxide (CO2). Drawing on data collected from a classroom, auditorium, and gym setting in the Mount Royal University campus, the aim of this report is to determine if CO2 levels present are within established margins substantial to result in adverse health effects. Environmental factors that are considered in this report include: room size, supply air, and occupant load in the specified spaces on the campus. The results of this study suggest that there are a myriad of factors that may affect IAQ and that CO2 is merely an indicator of poor air quality. Overall, peak indoor CO2 levels can further be used to determine appropriate ventilation rates in an indoor space.
With the emergence of systems archiving and distribution of PACS medical imaging, also emerged the need to store those images off-site environment, this project aims to study this need, trying to offer a service within an information infrastructure that can integrate the environment site with a remote environment, a transparent and heterogeneous, taking account of the needs of users of teleradiology.
Keywords: PACS, teleradiology, Medical Imaging, Archiving.
Benford law states that the occurrence of digits from 0-9 in a large set of data is not uniformly distributed but instead in a decreasing logarithmic distribution with 1 occurring at most. Almost all set of data follows this trend however this law is widely used as a base for various fraud detection and forensic accounting. Benford’s law is an observation that leading digits in data derived from measurements doesn’t follow uniform distribution. Different financial statements such as cash flows, income statement and balance sheet of the 20 tech companies of the Fortune 500 are analyzed in this project. Cash flow is the net amount of cash and cash-equivalents moving into and out of a business. Income statement is a financial statement that measures a company's financial performance over a specific accounting period. Balance sheet is a financial statement that summarizes a company's assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity at a specific point in time. All of these data of financial statements are extracted from Morning Star database and are analyzed by Python program written by me.I also wrote the Python program to calculate Benford's second digit and third digit probability using the formula. I would like to thank Prof. Erin Wagner and Dr. Courtney Taylor for helping in this research project.
