It is your responsibility to come to class having read the assigned sections and ready to discuss the material covered. Course Policies: Attendance Attendance will be counted through signing an attendance sheet at the beginning of class. It will be picked up as class starts. If you are late, you will need to see to the professor after class to mark your attendance. Every two late attendances will be considered an unexcused absence. IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO SIGN THE ATTENDANCE SHEET, NOT THE PROFESSOR’S. IF YOU DO NOT SIGN THE ATTENDANCE SHEET FOR WHATEVER REASON, IT WILL BE CONSIDERED AN ABSENCE. Absences: Participation is key to success in the course and requires your active presence in the classroom. Students are allowed three unexcused absence during the semester, though any assignments due on that date will still be expected to reach the instructor in a timely manner as discussed with the teacher. For every successive absence, your final course grade will decrease by 50 points (one letter greade) per unexcused absence. Excused Absence: The only excused absences are college sponsored events (with a school-issued form), documented legal issues such as jury duty, and religious holidays. Late Work: is no late work accepted without prior notice and approval from the instructor.

Microsoft Government Customer Solution Case Study Arkansas Deploys Information Management Solution to Improve Prison Security Overview Country or Region: United States Industry: Government—Local Customer Profile The Department of Corrections is a vital part of the criminal justice system in Arkansas. The Department’s first mission is to protect public safety, as it works to provide cost-efficient, superior correctional services that return productive people to the community. Business Situation The Department sought a solution that would help it to aggregate and analyze data in an effort to reduce contraband activity across state prisons. Solution The Department deployed a customized version of the Fusion Core Solution, which is based on Microsoft SharePoint technology. Benefits Rapid adoption by Department teams Improved allocation of law enforcement resources Safer environment for staff and inmates “We are able to see problem areas now which we could not necessarily have visualized before. Over time, the analysis will make an increasingly positive impact on the security and safety of the prison workforce. It will make a difference.” Ray Hobbs, Director, Arkansas Department of Corrections The of inmates bringing contraband into the Arkansas prison system has decreased exponentially since the Arkansas Department of Corrections started applying the principles of business intelligence and predictive analytics to identify, track, and act on suspicious trends within its prison walls. By deploying a customized version of the Fusion Core Solution, based on Microsoft SharePoint technology, the Department can analyze previously siloed databases that detail everything from inmate movements to banking transactions and telephone records. Now, the IT staff is working hand-in-hand with investigators to stop the flow of drugs and other illicit materials (including mobile phones). In the process, the Department has created a safer and more secure environment for prison guards, support staff, and the inmates themselves.
Stakeholder engagement Good fishway planning should engage all stakeholders from the beginning of the project so that their objectives, expectations and concerns can be considered (Figure 2.2). Stakeholders include owners of the structure, water authorities, land managers, irrigators, anglers and the public. Stakeholder objectives need to be understood and achievable, and clear communication between stakeholders must be maintained throughout the process. Furthermore an expert design team needs to be established which includes experienced engineers, scientists, asset owner/manager and local water authority. Finally, a project manager is required to oversee the design and implementation process including gathering relevant information, delegation of tasks, communication between design team and communication with stakeholders. A suggested engagement and communication strategy is outlined in Table 2.1. Figure 2.2: Engaging with stakeholders at the Barwon barrage.

the passage of small fish, specifies water velocities below 0.15 m/s and zero headloss under most operating conditions (Mallen-Cooper 2001). The impacts that culverts may have on fish passage is outlined in 1, noting that these impacts vary across culvert zones (Kapitzke 2010; see Figure 2.2). Table 2.1: Barrier effects of culverts. Barrier effect Impact on fish passage High velocity due to: steep gradient culverts uniform channel with lack of roughness constriction of waterway at the culvert Shallow depth due to: gradient culverts wide culvert bases that disperse flow Lack of resting place or shelter due to: simplified channel form lack of substrate complexity Excess turbulence due to: steep gradient culverts constriction of water at culvert inlet upstream build up low tailwater levels Excessive head loss due to: sudden change in bed profile Low levels of light due to: long, narrow culverts Culvert velocities pose a barrier to fish passage when the distance between rest points is greater than the maximum distance fish can swim at burst speeds. Shallow water can inhibit fish swimming effectively, particularly larger species. Fish may become injured, especially in high flow conditions. Lack of resting places pose a barrier to upstream fish passage if the length between shelter areas is greater than the maximum distance fish can swim between resting. Turbulence levels may exceed tolerance of particular fish and therefore present a barrier to upstream movement. Fish lose ability to navigate through the culvert and they are unable to recognise primary flow direction. Many Australian native fishes have little capacity to jump and are therefore unable to negotiate small water surface drops. Many Australian native fishes have a tendency to avoid dark areas and may not enter culverts with reduced light levels relative to the stream outside of the culvert. Figure 2.2: The impacts of culverts across culvert zones (from Kapitzke 2010). 6 Guidelines for fish passage at small structures
