During a visit to Vietnam in September 2015, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking of the American War in Vietnam, acknowledged “The war that took place here half a century ago divided each of our countries and stemmed from the most profound failure of diplomatic insight and political vision.”
The Vietnam War was an outgrowth of the loss of French control over its colonial territories in southeast Asia (French Indochina) and the containment policies of the Cold War, including the “domino theory”.
With the assistance of Chinese communist forces, in 1954 North Vietnam had defeated the forces of the French colonial administration. Thereafter, it wished to consolidate the entire country into a single communist regime, modelled after those of the Soviet Union and China. The North Vietnam plan was resisted by the South Vietnamese, which wanted alignment with, and requested support from, the West – to which the United States alone responded.
The United States gradually escalated its limited involvement of financial and military to France, and military advisors to South Vietnam to troop deployment in 1965. By 1969, more than 500,000 U.S. military personnel were stationed in Vietnam. In 1973, a peace treaty was negotiated by US National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger with the leaders of North Vietnam (1973 Paris Peace Accords). U.S. combat units were withdrawn in 1973, and in 1975 South Vietnam fell to a full-scale invasion by the North. U.S. diplomatic relations with Vietnam were restored only 20 years ago.
Your task is to evaluate Mr. Kerry’s conclusion that the Vietnam conflict was a failure of diplomatic insight and vision. In your paper, include as a minimum, the following events and factors:
a. Assess the outcome of the Geneva Accords of 1954, which settled the first Vietnam war involving the French, its temporary partition of the country and the plan for national elections to decide the future of the nation as a unified Vietnamese state.
b. Describe the effect of the military initiatives of the North Vietnamese, and the assistance of the Soviet Union and China in providing weapons, supplies and advisers to the North. Explain the gradual escalation of U.S. military involvement in the 1960s and the ultimate decision by the United States to seek a peace treaty.
c. Identify and assess the geopolitical and military assumptions by the various US administrations. What military, political, cultural and/or societal aspects of North and South Vietnam were arguably not sufficiently considered or appreciated by U.S. decision makers?
d. Explain the reasons for the fierce opposition to the war that developed in United States and its impact on the U.S. Congress and on American society generally. What were the implications on the conduct of the war and the diplomatic peace negotiations?
e. Identify and assess as many of the factors as you can why the United States, led by the Nixon Administration in the 1970s, decided to pursue a negotiated settlement. Include the methods of diplomacy used, the key participants and the difficulties encountered. What were the terms of the peace treaty and the reasons for the ultimate outcome for South Vietnam?
f. Noting the scale of the military and civilian casualties on all sides, what are the diplomatic and strategic lessons learned from the Vietnam war?

Scarlet Fever
This report is split into two section and the word limit for each section is 750 words:
Section 1:
Prepare a report of the weekly incidence of Scarlet fever disease covering the period Jan 2018 to Jan 2019 (a NOIDS data set is attached). Using the data relevant to the assigned organism prepare a suitable graph to show how the incidence of the disease varies over the year. This graph should be incorporated into a report that fully explains the reasons for the pattern of incidence of the disease over the year. Your report should take into account present knowledge of the causative organism (the type of organism, transmission, pathogenesis, symptoms, treatment and prevention). You may wish to consider factors such as weather if they have a relevant bearing on your results.
Your graph should be prepared by you, not lifted directly from web sites, journals etc!!!!
The word limit for the section 1 is 750 words excluding references.
The data has been taken from the Public Health England (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. website. The most useful page, which gives a full breakdown of the incidence of communicable diseases, is the statutory N otifications O f Infectious D iseaseS (NOIDS) @ https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/notifications-of-infectious-diseases-noids (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
Section 2
For the assigned disease you must discuss laboratory methods used for diagnosis. Evaluate the current method(s) in use in microbiology pathology laboratories, clearly describing the method(s) and relevant quality control and assurance measures. Identify strengths and weaknesses and highlight any recent advances that have been implemented or likely to be used in the future.

Building Services (Heat Pump Unit) Investigation of Refrigeration System Performance at various Condensing Pressures
1. INTRODUCTION (minimum 200 words)
Demonstrate how it is a level 3 analysis – critical thinking, focus on issues.
*(Level 3 = degree level final year)
2. THEORY & OBJECTIVE (minimum 200 words)
Students should study relevant key publications used to outline the issue of study and briefly describe the background and the corresponding theory of the experiment. Do not just paraphrase theory, summarize in your own words.
Single objective of lab (critical issue): The objective of the experiment may be included in the lab sheets. However, in the formal report, the objective should be restated to correspond to the way the actual experiment was done.
Also, the relevant theoretical equations should be given and their physical meaning should be explained. The restatement of the ‘formulas’ as given in the lab sheets is insufficient.
3. METHOD (minimum 200 words)
A description of the apparatus and how actually the experiment was carried out should be given accompanied by its graphic presentation. Copied procedure from the lab sheets is not acceptable.
Provide discussion of discrepancies with actual process, compare between the theoretical forecast and the observed experimental behavior. Make clear assumptions and identify possible errors.
4. RESULTS
The original measurement data and complete results for all sets of data should be very well organized and presented. Tabular presentation is one of the most common in practice. In addition, graphical presentation is very often necessary for better understanding of the data and results.
Sample calculations for all quantities of interest for one set of data should be shown. The calculations should include:
– The relevant formulas with explanation of the existing quantities and their units,
– Replaced numerical values for the quantities in the formulas,
– Results of the calculations with their units.
5. DISCUSSION (minimum 500 words)
Maximize the values of the lab and focus on key issues. State the trends of the obtained results in respect of the relevant influences.
Relate to the real world; give explanation of the deviations from the predicted/expected behavior and analyze the errors.
Wherever applicable, reference on the consulted literature should be given.
6. FUTURE RESEARCH (minimum 200 words)
Summarize the obtained results, state whether or not the objectives of the experiment were met.
Make sure its research but not just a study, make a list of research questions and a suggestion of the method that might be used to generate the information.
7. REFERENCES
This should list all materials used for the preparation of the formal report. The format for giving a reference is illustrated with the example given below:
1. Basic Thermodynamics (Applications and Pollution Control),
K. Iynkaran and David J. Tandy, Prentice Hall, 1993, p.101-103
8. APPENDIX
