Essays on Leading Edge

The overall goal of the management of any organization lies in achieving the set strategic goals and objectives. The management of Sisters of Charity Providence Hospital has made a training function that focuses on performance gaps and, offering quality service a top priority. Its intention to achieve such targets goes hand in hand with the introduction of the hospital’s first program, the Leading Edge, meant to offer training on financial and performance management, talent recruitment and, change management.

Any program an organization employs to streamline its operations must achieve the desired outcomes. The outcomes should be measurable to determine the ...

Introduction:

Airfoil design and selection is an important deciding factor in aircraft performance. Airfoil is a term used to describe the cross section of the aircraft wings. By observing birds in flight, man has understood that flat plates, resembling bird’s wings can produce the necessary lift to set the aircraft flying. However the actual importance of airfoil in designing the wings of the aircraft was recognized only in 1800. Since then many engineers have designed, tested and patented a number of variations in airfoil pattern. Over the years, there has been a remarkable advancement in technology of airfoil construction and also in ...

Other than the classroom learning, expos provide learners with an opportunity to gain insight into the practical aspects of the classroom content. It is noteworthy that the Connect Hospitality Expo in Vancouver was an opportunity that made learning more practical and meaningful. The Expo highlighted a number or concepts from a practical perspective. As such, this paper seeks to compare and contrast various concepts of the lessons in Leading Edge Hospitality throughout the term with what suppliers and consultants are promoting and selling at the Expo. In a more precise way, the paper focuses on comparing and contrasting aspects of management tools ...

One of the main problems of classical mechanics is that of turbulent fluid flow. The reason for this is that there is the presence of thin no-slip boundary which requires a lot of meshpoints in order for the solution to be arrived. There is a research which has been arrived and researched upon which shows that with the use of slip boundary condition to be the model for friction to be achieved for the small skin, there is the possibility for predictive simulation for mean quantities. An example of such mean quantities is the drag and lift turbulent flow with millions ...

Literature Review

Several methods exist that are used to identify and characterize fractures (Burnett, 2011). Seismic method is the most effective method of identifying aligned fracture sets. Aligned fracture sets render a rock seismically anisotropic; this implies that the velocities of seismic waves moving through the rock will depend on their direction of propagation (Verdon & Kendall, 2010). The way through which seismic anisotropy manifests itself includes azimuthal variation in reflection amplitudes (Hall & Kendall, 2000). Fromme (2011) investigated the scattering directivity of the A0 Lamb wave mode at through-thickness defects in aluminum plate from FE simulations (Zhou, Li, Mao, Mevel & Ou, 2013). There ...

Introduction

This case study reviews the loss of American Airlines Flight 191 a McDonnell-Douglas DC-10. An article in the Chicago Tribune on the same day (Young, 25 May 1979) reported that after losing an engine from the left wing following takeoff from O’Hare International Airport, the aircraft rolled over and crashed within a mile of O’Hare, resulting in the deaths of all 271 on board and causing two fatalities on the ground. The case study looks at the accident causes, structural and mechanical factors involved, contributory factors, and the Investigation Board findings.

The Research Causes of the Accident. According ...

Fluid mechanics is one of the major disciplines of physics applied in the design of airplane wings. Out of the many things considered is the relationship between angle of attack, airspeed, and lift. The angle of attack is measured in degrees between the chord and the direction of flight. Lift is an artificial force generated by the wings and can be manipulated by a pilot. Lift has varying characteristics during different times of the flight for instance during a level cruise it equals weight, its greater than weight during a climb and during descent its less than weight.

The parameters under consideration ...

Seismic Surveying: The Cost-Benefits of Carrying out 3D Seismic Reflection Surveys for Reservoir Delineation and 4D Seismic Reflection Surveys for Reservoir Management

Introduction

Many oil and gas companies regardless of their size, whether small or large, have heavily put reliance on 3-D seismic data to effectively and accurately delineate fields and thus discover new reserves. A 3-D survey has turned out to be more effective than a 2-D survey in exploration project. In a 3-D survey, one is able to study the structures and composition of the various layers underneath and therefore, being able to put on the correct gadgets to work. ...
