The crustal instability and volcanic activity are the factors playing extremely important role in Southeast Asian realm’s present and future. Being part of the Pacific ring of fire, this realm experiences severe earthquakes and tsunamis rather often. For instance, in 2004 a 1000 km underwater rupture caused a tsunami that led to death of around 230,000 people in the region (Shah). Eventually, it also led to serious destruction and large economic loss. Given that the countries of the realm never were the top of the list developed countries, rather harsh physiographic condition come as an extra obstacle ...

Australia is one of the unique parts of the world. A continent isolated from the outside world, which is almost empty. Indeed Australia’s population is tiny in comparison to its territory. There are two major areas where all the population is clustered – Eastern coast and Perth area (De Blij, Muller and Nijman 570). Such population distribution has both its advantages and drawbacks. For instance, highly urbanized and clustered population fosters interconnectedness and makes it easier to implement innovation. Australia is still in the beginning of its path. On the other hand, such large territory causes several burdens that ...

Introduction

Artificial (computer) intelligence is one of the most promising development vectors in computer science and computer engineering. Work in the field of artificial intelligence is aimed at the development of methods, tools and technologies of designing computer systems with a specific function such as training, expert advising, robotics, and others. Unlike conventional programmers, who are involved in the development of well-specified software, artificial intelligence experts are additionally able to formulate specifications, which is one of the biggest challenges in the design of any product. However, the issue remains, as questions continue to arise as to whether human-equivalent artificial intelligence ...

Woody Hochswender’s article “Did My Car Join Al Qaeda?” is not persuasive enough. Hochswender successfully applies imagery in the form of graphic pictures and empathetic gestures to entice onlookers to think using the same mindset as he does. He drives a large SUV that requires a ton of gas. This, he says to his audience, is his decision of transportation but it does not imply he is an awful person. His impudence is duly noted by the Virtuous One, who according to the context, demands that the USA national utilization of fuel is to some degree responsible for ...

Ancillary Revenue Management in the Airline Industry

Introduction There is a stiff competition between the network airlines and the low-cost carriers (LCCs) in the airline aviation industry. For a long time, the traditional network airlines have been struggling to cope up with the many economic uncertainties in the industry, especially the rising cost of jet fuels and increasing operating costs. Consequently, to survive in the industry, they have been forced to come up with new ways of generating revenue. Like LCCs, the network carriers are now considering unbundling their services to produce additional income. Network airlines are also adopting the trend of selling chargeable services, which ...

Abstract

System theory forms the basis for the Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) (Leveson 2011), and other Accident Causation Models, such as the Accident Causation Management System discussed in Kwon et al. 2006, and the Construction Accident Causation Model discussed in Mitropoulos et al. 2005. These models are compared and contrasted especially with respect to how human behavior is accounted for in each. In addition, a case study is discussed using the STAMP method to demonstrate the basic principles of STAMP. Due to a recent accident and much discussion ...

The activity of AMPK supports the normal function of the endothelial barrier (Xing, Wang, Coughlan, Viollet, Moriasi, & Zou, 2013), while on the other hand, the exposure of LPS ensures that there is inhibition of AMPK, thus accentuating lung injury and endothelial barrier dysfunction (Kratzer et al., 2012). It is a fact that LPS increases the permeability of the endothelium, which occurs once there is a decrease in the AMPK activity. This is consistent with the fact that the activation of AMPK activator, AICAR, emphasizes LP, once it is applied in vitro to test the hyper endothelial permeability. Experiments done ...

The Muller-Lyer illusion is a useful tool for investigating the effects of the environment on human perception. The illusion shows that humans use the surroundings of an object to make a judgment of the size of that object, which is not necessarily accurate. The theory of size constancy suggests that we can usually make a judgment about the size of an object based on depth perception, the nearby objects, what we already know, and other factors. The Muller-Lyer illusion is an example of that system being tricked due to the presence of an acute or obtuse angle. It is ...

The Influence of Project Managers on Project Success Criteria and Project Success by Type of Project There is a large body of research that supports the importance of effective project management and completion. The mixed method study, completed by Ralf Muller and Rodney Turner (2007), considered the impact of project managers, including attitudes and management methods, as qualitative factors, and age and overall success rate, as quantitative factors, on project completion and success. It should be noted that this was particularly interesting because it considered not only construction related project success but grouped findings by industry and ...

In his article “Genetics after Auschwitz” David Suzuki discusses the necessity of studying and evaluating the history of science. His main claim lies in the fact that throughout history scientists didn't always follow ethical standards. For instance, there were cases when geneticists believed in the theory of selective breeding and they carried out a number of researches in death camps. Suzuki believes that knowing the whole history of scientific work, including even the most unpleasant and terrible cases, will help scientists not to make the same mistakes which they did in the past. All in all, the author successfully ...

The Ford Motor Company has been a powerful automotive company since its foundation in 1903. Founded by Henry Ford, the company quickly became a leader in innovation, notably inventing the assembly line process which allowed for cheaper production of cars for Americans to enjoy. Ford Motors survived the Great Depression and every recession since then, but the International Financial Crisis of 2008 affect it differently. US automakers heavily influenced by the crisis, as GM, Chrysler, and Ford were folding under due to many reasons, namely international competition, healthcare coverage, and the tightening of the American wallet due to the ...

Carbon credit refers to a permit allowing a company or state to emit a ton of carbon dioxide awarded to firms that have decreased the emission of greenhouse gasses below their quota. It follows that a country that produces carbon beyond its quota needs to purchase carbon credits from the energy-efficient ones (those producing less) in what economists call “cap-and-trade.” Although most people believe that the cap-and-trade on carbon emission works, I think this is a false assumption. Some economists opine that funds raised from trading on carbon credits would help them come up with alternative fuels reducing the ...

Objections to Moliere’s Play Tartuffe

Indeed, there are various personnel that object the thematic and presentation-related aspects of the play titled Tartuffe by Moliere (Muller 169). Importantly, one of the most outspoken and aggressive critique is the clergy presiding the event attended by the pope. In this case, the clergy is of the opinion that Moliere was attacking the religion (Prest 132). This perspective is inspired by the fact that Moliere paints religious fundamentalists as ones who seek to maintain an appealing and morally upright look from the outside while their souls are full of evil. As such, he is ordered by the king ...

A brake is a device that produces artificial resistance to the moving part of a machine to stop or slow down its motion. Any machine or its part that is in motion possesses kinetic energy. As per physical laws, energy cannot be destroyed; its form can only be transformed. The brake system converts the kinetic energy of the moving machine or part into thermal, potential or chemical energy. Brake systems are of various types utilized in different applications in industries, home appliances, vehicles, railway trains, and other sectors. This paper has focused on the brake systems used in vehicles, ...

Introduction

The attachment theory so often brought up in the psychological sciences, most commonly focuses on the mother-child bond that does or does not occur within the first five years of a child’s life. The founding father of the attachment theory was John Bowlby, who was extremely generous in working with numerous experts to expand his own knowledge and theories on psychological topics. The importance of a healthy development of the attachment process is important to the future sociability of the individual. How he or she interacts with people in their lives will be based on the extent of ...

The novel "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque explores the psychological and physical conditions of German soldiers fighting in the World War I, instead of focussing on heroism and military accomplishments. That is the primary distinction between the novel and its contemporaries. The novel tracks the life of Paul Baumer, as he joins the army together with his friends (Muller, Kropp and Kemmerick) at the urging of their school teacher Kantorek. While at the base, they meet Kat, an older soldier and a former shoe cobbler with whom they form a deep friendship and he ...
