Which of the following methods could be considered a “best practice” in terms of informing respondents how their answers to an on-line survey about personal information will be protected? respondents are informed that investigators will try to keep their participation confidential; however, confidentiality cannot be assured. respondents are informed that a research assistant will transfer all the research data to a password-protected computer that is not connected to the internet, via a usb flashdrive. the computer is located in a research team member’s office. the investigator uses the informed consent process to explain her institution’s method for guaranteeing absolute confidentiality of research data. the investigator uses the informed consent process to explain how respondent data will be transmitted from the website to his encrypted database without ever recording respondents’ ip addresses, but explains that on the internet confidentiality cannot be absolutely guaranteed.

You will be given two character arrays of the same size, one will contain a number of ships. ships will move around the character array based on which way they are facing and the route they are on. routes are given in the other array. the route consists of '-' and '|' for straight paths, '\' and '/' for curves, and '+' for intersections. there are ships on these routes. ships always face a direction, '^' for up, '> ' for right, 'v' for down, and '< ' for left. any time the ships hit a '\' or a '/' it will turn as you would expect a ship to turn (e.g. a '^' that moves into a '/' will turn right). at an intersection, ships will always continue straight through. all ships move at the same speed, ships take turns moving and all ships move during one 'tick'. the one in the most top left goes first, followed by those to its right, then the ones in the next row. it iterates along the rows and then down the columns. each ship moves one space on its turn moving along the route. your function needs to return the position of the first collision between two ships and the number of ticks before the crash occurred.

Knowing that the central portion of link bd has a uniform cross sectional area of 800 mm2 , determine the magnitude of the load p for which the normal stress in link bd is 50 mpa. (hint: link bd is a two-force member.) ans: p = 62.7 kn
