Abstract

The experiment was done to investigate the relative roughness of pipe three though a plot of the friction factor verses the Reynolds number. A comparison of the obtain results was made against a Moody diagram. Also, additional comparison of the experimental results obtained from pipe 1 and 2 were made against theoretical values obtained through Prandtl and Blasius equations. This process entailed plotting the theoretical and the experimental values on the same comparative roughness against Reynolds number chart. Additional results of different types of flow, exhibited by the flowing fluid, was done and represented in a graph of head ...

Introduction

The ability to concurrently develop a product and its supply chain is a major competence in manufacturing industries. When the tow activities get undertaken efficiently at the same time, massive returns are bound to get derived. Proper design ensures that goods produced have the highest quality possible. High quality guarantees customer satisfaction and improves the brand name and legacy. Suitable supply chains, on the other hand, ensure that goods and services reach the customers on time. They also provide that the cost of supply is greatly diminished and saves the company revenue. However, in the auto-manufacturing industry, this ability ...

Tricyclic antidepressants vs Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) in treatment of Depression

In recent decades, SSRIs have become the first-choice treatment for depression. The efficacy and acceptability, as well as cost-efficiency of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) versus the older tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are studied by many researchers. Most of scholars agree that the both classes of antidepressants are almost equally efficient (Marton, 2003.) According to Marton (2003), a small trend towards greater efficacy of TCAs was found when the outcome was measured in terms of depression scales, and towards SSRIs – in terms of global impression scores. But Faravelli and colleagues (2003) argue that in most studied cases, ...

Initial Thought: The word ‘Control’ has a number of connotations, and when it comes to business circles, ‘control’ signifies authority. A police force will use whatever is necessary to ‘control’ unruly crowds, and use of force could be one of them. An introduction to controls would suggest power and authority, because control is something that keeps things under check. In business the term has significance with regard to employee relationships, and when an organization is able to control a number of people in an organization, it would mean that the management has power to maintain authority over decision-making, which in managerial ...

Introduction

The concept of shared resources among computing machines was initially introduced during the late 1980s and the early 1990s. Organizations used to work on mainframe centric systems before then. With time, the platform shifted to distributed client server systems. The client server model experienced popularity due to the fact that it made collaborative computing easier, manageable and practical. Additionally, the model also cut costs for organizations since it was cheaper than the older systems. In a computer network, there are two or more computers or devices that share resources with each other. Organizations and individuals deploy different types of ...

The United States profile of HIV prevalence and incidence shows considerable disproportionate distribution of various aspects of the pandemic among male and female population as well as among different races. HIV infection is a serious communicable disease that has necessitated heavy government expenditure in a bid to minimise its incidence and prevalence. Studies have shown that the distribution of HIV prevalence and incidence rates differ between African-Americans and Whites and from one gender to another. Other studies have also sought to determine factors that may have led to this finding. HIV prevalence has been reported to be higher among African-Americans ...

The theory proposed in this paper is based on motivation and addresses some of the concerns regarding stage-based theories such as the trans-theoretical theory of motivation. The various tenets of motivation that are attributed to change are propounded in the initial sections as described below. Motivation is a key to change. The incentive sensitization theory of addiction explains addiction from a motivational perspective with respect to mental processes. Arguably, a motivational change process would therefore be an ideal recovery mechanism. Due to the complexity and multidimensional nature of change involving human behavior, this theory calls for a multifaceted approach that does not necessarily ...

Abstract

There has been the introduction of architectures that are mutlicore in nature and for that reason; there has been the emergence of applications which are multi-threaded which are commonly susceptible to bugs of synchronization like data races. The development and use of software that are able to detect data races are known to incur a lot of costs due to increase in overhead costs. The use of hardware for the detection of the data race is a solution that can be used and is better and cheaper than that of software use. All the hardware solutions that have been proposed for ...

Technical graphic communication involves the use of images to communicate information, especially among professionals in the technical design professions. CAD generated images usually accompany text as an approach to clarifying one’s point to one’s audience, whereby a person presents an idea as perceived with minimal use of words. Therefore, CAD enhances communication considerably since it improves the comprehensibility of the message to recipients and enables them to respond appropriately (Harrington, Burchard & Pitzer, 2002). Use of various imaging systems including software and manual drawing has various advantages in communications, especially since images are more effective at conveying a message than ...
