Essays on Constraints

Benford's law also known as the first-digit law deals with the distribution of natural numbers in which it tends to major into their importance regarding significance. The law states that given any arrangement of natural numbers, the smallest number always seems to be the most significant while the largest number in the collection is always the least significant. Therefore, number 1 appears to be the most significant in any given combination of natural numbers 30% of the times. While on the other hand, number 9 appears only 5% of the times as the most significant number. The law states ...

In 399 BC, one of the greatest ancient thinkers, Socrates, faced the trial upon the accusations of his corrupting influence on the Athenian youth, rejection of gods recognized by the Athenian state and invention of new gods. In the course of the trial, the philosopher was given an opportunity to defend himself, and his speech interpreted by Plato under the title Apology has survived until nowadays as a prominent example of rhetoric and argumentation. Socrates moves from explanations of his actions to critique of the values and misconceptions of his accusers (particularly, Meletus). Although one would expect a person ...

Policy Brief, Design and Evaluation of A Public Policy: Child Welfare in the Changing Family Unit

Introduction Children need a conducive environment where they can grow in peace and develop in all other areas that relate to their welfare. The conventional family unit consisted of a nuclear set up comprising of a man, woman and the children they sired together. Such formed the foundation through which children could draw strength and some kind of inspiration due to the availability of both gender parents (Conger and Donnellan, 2007, p175). According to Hobson and Fahlén, (2009) it was also an opportunity where the man and woman would bring up their children together and give them love ...

Introduction

Human society has been based on mere moral factors that are the basis of governing the behavioral aspect of any particular society. However, it is quite intriguing to look into the doctrine of doing and allowing and this basically narrows down to the moral threshold that has been set forth in any particular society. Therefore, this brings to light the concept of whether, there is a fatual difference between actually being the perpetrator and carrying out the particular act or being a mere observer and letting the particular harm escalate among the people. Moreover, based on the doctrine of ...

1. Misconceptions Money generation remains central to economic activity. The process of how money is generated / created and destroyed is not, in fact, readily understood and is subject to numerous misconceptions. If anything, main conceptions about money creation and destroy assumes a linear conceptualization mode. Typically, money is widely – but mistakenly – believed to be created and destroyed by a direct relationship by which an owner places money deposits in a financial institution which, sooner or later, lends money to borrowers and hence creates more money. In modern era, particularly in a global financial system in which financial transactions ...

Define and discuss time and space utility

Products must be transported from the place where they are produced to the place where customers demand it to be delivered. The value-add that the product gains due to its transport is called space utility. The time utility is the length of time before or between the product deliveries, which consists of mostly storage and inventory time. When the organizations are able to deliver the goods at a time they are needed, then their time utility increases.

CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE ROLE OF CRISIS IN INDUCING POLICY CHANGE

Introduction Most nations make policies after they enter serious crisis. There is a general notion that a critical problem requires a critical solution. Thus, nations that came under Nazi or Japanese attack in the eve of the Second World War declared a state of emergency and made sweeping changes to their national policies. These changes had far-reaching impacts on the functioning of the arms of governments and the entire nation had to suspend various activities to implement the policies in response to the crises. However, after World War II, significant events have been considered as turning points in national ...

Question #1 What are some possible negative outcomes of having replaced older electromechanical controls with computerized and digitalized controls? Before the era of computerized and digital controls, electromechanical controls were widely used. The switch from electromechanical controls to the computer and digital controls were motivated by the advantages the latter controls offered. For example, computerized and digitized controls not only offer a greater flexibility but also the ability to reprogram them dynamically when there is a need to change utility operation characteristics (Willis, 2004). Despite their disadvantages, computerized and digitalized controls have been found to play a key role ...

According to the “science” of astrology, a person has particular personality traits based on the month, day, time, and place of their birth. While astrologers may defend this ancient craft of divination as science, does astrology merit inclusion in the world of science, disciplines of knowledge that include astronomy, chemistry, biology, physics and many other fields that entail rigorous observation, experimentation, and prediction? Clearly, astrology is a pseudoscience, and Imre Lakatos explains the rationale for its exclusion as legitimate science better than scientific philosophers, Thomas S. Kuhn, or Sir Karl Popper. In order to clarify the demarcation criteria between ...

Introduction

Superhero is a term that is socially accepted and widely revered in today’s society. We are fed with information about their supreme powers and ability to save humanity from evil. Every popular media form has been used to ensure our society fantasizes about their presence and accept their critically maligned narratives (King 167). Vigilante, it’s a word taken from Spanish and it was first introduced to America in the mid-19th century. A vigilante is someone who operates alone or in a group, “takes the law into their own hands” (Butler 1). These people are not endorsed as ...

Introduction: Historically, female Black slaves endured the worse treatment, but have received the least amount of attention than their male counterparts in North American Slavery (Hine, 2007). There are longstanding myths that surround the experiences of female Black slaves, and struggles they face daily trying to survive. Deborah Gray White provides an intimate look into female slavery that until 1985 was long overdue. In her book she stated “Slave women were the only women in America who were sexually exploited with impunity, stripped and whipped with a lash, and worked like oxen” (White, 1999, p. 162). In the nineteenth ...

The invention of mobile phones aimed at developing gadgets that could connect wirelessly to the public network. Communication through radio calls started some decades ago and was popular even during the 2nd World War. However, the use of wireless, portable, devices that can connect to a standard telephony network is much recent. Ideally, the first handheld telephone was launched by Motorola in 1973 (O’Shea, 2009). The first wireless, handheld gadgets were hardly portable, had a short talk time and took long to charge fully. Evidently, the first devices were less efficient compared to modern mobile phones.

Abstract

STPA (System-Theoretic Process Analysis), is a new hazard analysis technique designed to “eliminate or control scenarios” before they result in losses (Leveson 2011). STPA is based upon an analysis of loss of functional control of a process rather than on an analysis of failure of individual components. Therefore, the model that is used in STPA is a functional control diagram rather than a physical component diagram (Leveson 2011). STPA provides guidance to the users, as opposed to other hazard analyses. In addition, STPA can be used before a system ...

Question 1

With older electromechanical controls, the operator used to typically be located physically in closer proximity to the process, and therefore had direct sensory perception of the status of the process (e.g., sound, vibration, light) (Leveson 2011). Under computerized and digitalized controls, the operator no longer has a sensory perception of the status, other than what is viewed on the computer. This requires whomever is designing the control system to determine what information is important to the controller, and that the information provided in the feedback loop between the process and what is reported on the screen is complete and ...

It should also not be too big that it takes up too much space in the kitchen or is difficult to operate. The second design constraint is the material to be used (Lim, 2013). The material has to have certain properties that suit the function of the toaster oven. For example, the material should resist ...

Overview

The theory of consumer choice is interested in the manner through which make decisions on the amount of money that they can commit on their preferences considering their budget constraints (Levin & Milgrom, 2004). All consumers have a budget past which they cannot spend. This budget is influenced by the wealth and income of the individual consumers. The budgets erect constraints on the ability of consumers to acquire their preferences. The consumer choice theory informs the choices a consumer will make considering the price of a certain good or service and his income. The exploration of the consumer choice theory ...

Abstract

Do the imbalances in current accounts still matter in today’s deep global financial markets that exhibit two-way gross economic flows that dwarf the new outcomes provided by current accounts? Contrasting the adult perception of the world and complete markets, extreme current account imbalances indicate severe financial and macroeconomic stresses, particularly as was the case in the mid-2000s. The increasingly massive valuation differences in nations’ net global investment standards and positions, as well as risk allocations, cannot be relied upon to offset the variations in regional wealth systematically as implied in the current accounts. The same conditions that warrant ...
