Here are the key points about controlled assessment:
- It makes up 25% of the total GCSE grade.
- Students complete practical experiments and investigations over a period of about 9 hours.
- The experiments are set by the exam board and relate to the modules studied in class.
- Students plan investigations, collect and analyse data, evaluate methods and draw conclusions.
- Teachers mark the work but it is moderated by the exam board to ensure fairness.
- The skills assessed include experiment design, data collection and analysis, evaluation and written communication.
- It allows students to demonstrate practical and investigative skills that can't be assessed in written exams.
- The work is submitted to the examY8 Electricity 02 current electricity

Logistics: The Missing Link in Blend Scheduling OptimizationAlkis Vazacopoulos
油
This document discusses logistics scheduling optimization for blending liquids. It begins by introducing blending and describing logistics scheduling as the "coarse-tune" that determines quantity and logic details, while quality scheduling performs the "fine-tune." It then provides examples of key logistics constraints like minimum/maximum run lengths. The document emphasizes that ignoring logistics leads to suboptimal schedules. It proposes various metrics to quantify non-compliance with logistics constraints. Finally, it presents a framework to trade off quantity and quality using "logistics isotherms" and argues explicit logistics scheduling can improve this trade-off relationship.IMPL Data Analysis

The document discusses the international expansion plans of Acme Manufacturing Company into either Germany or South Africa. It analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of creating a new manufacturing facility, or "Greenfield," in each country. While Germany provides economic strengths and access to the EU market, operating costs are higher and the Euro's value is uncertain. South Africa offers lower costs and access to the African market, but risks include currency instability and some social and regulatory challenges. Ultimately, the document recommends expanding to South Africa due to its growth potential, natural resources, and ability to reach hundreds of millions of African consumers.[PyConTW 2013] Write Sublime Text 2 Packages with Python

Advanced Production Accounting (APA) uses statistical data reconciliation and regression to clean past production data when processes are assumed to be at steady-state. It defines a simultaneous mass and volume problem with density. This is depicted in an oil refinery flowsheet using the unit-operation-port-state superstructure (UOPSS). Key differences from prior work are that UOPSS uses "ports" to represent flows, requiring fewer quality measurements. Industrial Modeling Framework (IMF) implements the mathematical formulations using IMPRESS modeling language and solvers like SECQPE and SORVE for data reconciliation problems. IMFs provide pre-configured models for industrial projects.Digital Society Laboratory (DSL)

The three articles discuss particulates in the air, genetic mapping, and observations of the night sky. Particulates are small solid or liquid bits that float in the air and come from both natural and human sources like burning fossil fuels. They can affect climate by scattering solar radiation and absorbing heat, and harm health. Genetic mapping allows prediction of future health risks but raises ethical issues about how to handle that personal genetic information.

Radiation is found naturally all around us in background radiation from sources like rocks, buildings, food, and drink. Certain rocks contain radioactive elements like radon that produce ionizing radiation, which can damage living cells by leaving them unaffected, slightly damaged but self-repairing, causing DNA damage and cancer, or causing cell death. The average yearly radiation dose a person in the UK receives is about 3 millisieverts, which measures the amount of radiation exposure. Irradiation occurs when a radiation source is outside the body, while contamination is when the source enters the body.P6 radioactive-decay

Radioactive decay occurs when the nucleus of an unstable atom decays and changes. There are three types of radioactive decay: alpha decay which emits a helium nucleus, beta decay which converts a neutron to a proton and emits an electron, and gamma decay which emits electromagnetic radiation without changing the nucleus. Radioactive isotopes are used in medical scans and treatments but are produced artificially in nuclear reactors since they decay naturally over time.P6 nuclear-power-and-fission

Nuclear fission occurs when an unstable nucleus such as uranium splits after absorbing a neutron, releasing energy and more neutrons. These neutrons can trigger further fissions in a self-sustaining chain reaction. A nuclear power plant controls such a chain reaction to generate heat from uranium fuel rods, using this heat to boil water and drive turbines to produce electricity, without producing greenhouse gases. However, nuclear power also produces long-lasting radioactive waste and risks accidents that can kill people.P6 patterns-of-energy-use

Rutherford designed an experiment to investigate the structure of atoms using alpha particles. Geiger and Marsden fired alpha particles at a thin gold foil and observed them with a microscope and detecting screen. They found that although most alpha particles passed through the foil with little deflection, some were deflected at large angles or even bounced straight back. This provided evidence for a small, dense nucleus at the center of atoms, contradicting the prevailing nuclear model. The experiment revealed the existence of the atomic nucleus.P6 sow ocr 60138 sm_gcse_module_p6
