Multi Agency Coordination
As police officers responded quickly after the first plane crashed on the first WTC tower, there was no concrete plan what are they going to do, given that no one was expecting that kind of tragedy other than the terrorists themselves. After the first plane crash, police and the rescuers just did what the usual standard operating procedure was. They were not able to detect why the plane crashed on the first tower, they did not know that there was another plane crash approaching few hours after the first, and they did not know the ...

Answer 1. Virtual reality is a computer-generated, interactive, three-dimensional environment in which people get immersed. Augmented reality is an exciting new way of creating richer, more interactive experience with users and future customers. Users of augmented reality or AR tools maintain a presence in the real world. On the contrary, in virtual reality the user is completely immersed in a computer-generated environment. Augmented reality mixes real-life images with graphics or other effects (Abernathy, P).
Answer 2. As companies get more comfortable with augmented reality, marketers are developing creative new ways to use the technology. Marketers often use this tool as it ...

Sunshine Skyway Bridge Disaster of 1980 – An Engineering Failure

Highway bridges on navigable waterways are at risk from vessel collision. Since they are primarily built to let vessels pass through, design considerations should include the probability of a major collision of its structural members from a passing vessel. There are several factors why vessels may come in contact with a bridge’s structural member. The deviation of a vessel from its path may be caused either by human error, mechanical error or may result because of adverse environmental conditions. Indeed, the collision of M/V Summit Venture with the pier of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge was due to poor vision because of a “ ...

Most shooting incidents in trailer and action movies portray a backward displacement of the victim (sometimes violent) over a large distance. Real life witnesses however may not give a similar account of the event. Viewers may also be skeptical on the way the incident is portrayed in movies. The effect of the bullet on the target can however be calculated from simple concepts in physics given the right or (reasonably approximated) quantities. The main concepts are those of momentum and energy conservation.
Firearms such as guns are meant to deliver destructive energy to the target with minimal energy input by the ...

AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 587

According to the National Transportation Safety Board (2004) the Safety Board requested NASA-Langley to conduct a wake vortex investigation to determine the airplane performance study on whether American Airlines Flight 587 had encountered the wake
Vortexes similar to Japan Air Lines flight 47. The investigation showed that the encounter will explain the two sets of load factor excursions, where the first occurred at 0915:35 where the aircraft reached the altitude of 1,750 feet, and the second occurred at 0915:51 where the aircraft reached the altitude of 2,430 feet based on the record of flight of 587 (National ...

American free market capitalism has been around for a while now and it is intrinsically part of the world’s economic system with several Western economies based on the same principles. However the recent economic crisis has show us that occasionally, this type of capitalism can prove to have disastrous results especially when investment bankers are allowed to take unprecedented risks and put the whole economy into jeopardy as happened in 2008. The principle of profit at all costs with no risk aversions and/or protection creates situations which are anamolous as when the great lending crisis crashed the property market ...

Introduction

Almost all of the commercial airplane accidents that have been reported in the past are caused by human error which accounts for approximately 70% of the accidents (Griffin et al., 2015). Hence, it is important to appreciate the fact that human error is recently becoming a principal concern not only to flight operations but in the maintenance practices as well as air traffic control. The above concern has made the major airlines to employ human factor professionals who work closely with the engineers and pilots to embrace innovation on human performance as well as the airplanes to help enhance ...

There are several explanations of financial crises in terms of adherents of various economic theories. Keynesian explanation is the lack of money. That time the money was tied to gold reserves that limited the money supply. Production grew and this eventually led to deflation and falling prices, which led to insolvency of many companies, decline the value of their shares and as a result - the collapse of the stock market. Proponents of the monetarist theory associated the stock market crash with such actions of the U.S. government like increasing the money supply, which led to depreciation of assets and ...

Information has been the business driver in today’s dynamic environment. However, not all information is useful to every business process. The way information is gathered, processed, disseminated and disposed determines the business’ degree of competitiveness. In today’s information rich age, business value is generated by innovative business processes capable of sensing and responding to changes in the environment, processing passive information from disparate sources and making it actionable.
Currently, information management challenges have arisen from two sources, large volumes of information at the company’s disposal and years of decentralized IT management. Organizations are realizing that ...

Many factors contributed to the Great Depression. In America, the roaring twenties produced a false sense of prosperity, America had become the world’s bank that faced the crisis of defaulting loans, and, the failure of banks following the stock market crash each contributed to the great depression. The most damaging of these, in my opinion, was the American attitude that created a false sense of prosperity and caused behavior in individuals that had a significant impact on the economy.
During the 1920’s, the economy was reaching new heights and Americans were spending at excessive amounts. However, the ...

Boeing Company is a leading manufacturer of military, aerospace and commercial aircraft based in the United States.

C. Decision &Year Decided
In the year 1981, the California Supreme Court rendered a verdict convicting the defendant of secondary murder on the conduct of causing a fatal accident as a result of reckless driving. The court found rationality in concluding that the defendant’s behavior was deliberate and unprovoked, and he consciously disregarded human life. However, it can be argued that the court failed to define exactly when the conduct of an intoxicated driver can be regarded as an implied malevolence. ...

In this paper, I have chosen to write about the network configuration that is required in a book store. In such a business there are a good number of computers and other peripherals that are supposed to be interconnected. To come up with a good computer and other devices on the network, three major elements are dealt with. These are the network topology, the protocol and the internet connection.
Among the three network topologies that are available: that is the star topology, bus topology and ring topology, star topology best fit this kind of network devices configuration because it is simple to ...
