In any type of company, one of the significant challenges for leadership is connecting industry knowledge and business analytics. Bartlett (2013) observes that these two components serve as the primary sources of information for decision makers. Managers generally hold much insight and wisdom in their accumulated experience, but unfortunately, any gaps in the facts are commonly filled with opinions (Bartlett, 2013). Instead of relying on subjective sources, leaders can utilize business analytics to validate new ideas and test industry beliefs (Bartlett, 2013). A starting point for effective business analytics is to recognize that data and information are not ends ...

Professional Studies Summary:

Medical Ultrasonics: Ultrasound uses sound waves of high frequency to diagnose patients and image the body. Ultrasound waves are longitudinal in nature and they induce back and forth oscillation of particles thus producing a series of compressions and rarefactions. The velocity, wavelength and frequencies of these sound waves can be calculated using the formula,v=fλ where velocity (v) is the speed of the wave in meters per second (ms-1), frequency (f) is the number of oscillations in a second measured in Hertz (Hz), and wavelength (λ) is the distance between two rarefactions and compressions in meters (m). Ultrasound uses sound ...
