The concept of providing membership to the users and giving them additional benefits is very old. Many companies have tried it with great success. This concept is also being used in the airlines industry. One example of this trend is Jet Blue. The company gives “TrueBlue” points to its customers who have spent $1000 or more on flights during a year using the services of Jet Blue. The reward program allows the customers to continue accumulating the points and they can later redeem six points for one eligible dollar. They have also offered family pooling of points and the customers ...

He is Gott's fantasy, while flying in space is Heinie's. The fact that all the imaginative characters ...

In his novel, Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie presents his readers with a fantasy world named ‘Neverland.’ The properties of this place are that you must be a child to go there and that it exists outside of the solid, real world. The novel of Peter Pan discusses the idea of never growing up and maintaining child-like innocence for an eternity. Peter Pan, the character, does not grow up and his band of ‘Lost Boys’ are also permanently children. The obvious implication of this is that Barrie has carved out an allegorical message of why, as adults, it is ...

The charter school system is a high controversial educational move towards business-run schools. Their influence is already palpable as increasingly, more and more schools, nationally, are becoming privately owned. These schools, invariably, deviate from the government-instated curriculum by adding their own impetus to various topics – for example, the Edison group, who currently own 100 schools across America, place more importance on subjects such as Maths and Science. However, it is this aspect of charter schools that attracts a large amount of criticism: their autonomy enables them to implement a curriculum which is centric to one or two subjects. This immediately raises concerns ...

Introduction: According to Thaden and Alyssa (2008), “human error is the main cause of flight accidents in complex systems.

In aviation, it is true that human error leads to accidents in the sky, but it is also true that for every accident that happens on the air, the airline company reviews their ...

The jet engine was one of the most important inventions of the 20th century. It brought a complete change in aviation and flight.

Jet engines can be classified into 5 types, namely : the turbofan, turboprop and the turbojet.

This paper compares the efficiency of turboprop engines and turbojet engines.
Before going into the details, we should discuss the basic difference between the two.
A turboprop (short for Turbo Propeller) engine uses a gas turbine core to run a propeller. The main source of thrust from the engine is the large mass of air that propeller pushes. This accounts for about 80% of ...

As a result, the different types of evolved organisms embraced various modes of living. According to Xu (2006), nearly 150 years after the discovery of the first fossils of the dinosaur, this species was believed be a reptile. In fact, when Richard Owen found the first remains of this organism, the paleontologists used the ...

The large number of human lives lost in these disasters requires identification. The forensic examination is not only for humanitarian reasons but also for possible criminal investigations. DNA analysis is one of the best methods for identification of individuals from ...

Management

Goss (2005), in Building a Contingency Menu: Using Capabilities-Based Planning for Homeland Defense and Homeland Security, says that Homeland Defense and Security planners need to develop a contingency plan to neutralize potential terrorist threats. Because of their shrewd and adaptive strategies, the Department of Homeland Defense and Security agency has come up with the concepts of ‘lines of operation’ ‘capabilities’ as the dynamics to define and explain potential and likely interactions. Moving from the more rational idea of, ‘who is the threat?’ to ‘what could the threat do?’ has given Homeland Defense and Security planners a broader spectrum of possibilities to explore ...

In their research titled “Collaborative Interaction in Co-Located Two-User Scenarios”, Salzmann, Jacobs and Froehlich look into the aspect of using Immersive virtual environments especially in the assembly process in the automotive industry. The goal is to compare the outputs of the interactions of both co-located face-to-face and side-to-side users. The research is based on previous work done in collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) by authors such as Hinckley et al. and Margery et al. (Salzmann, Jacobs, and Froehlich).
The researchers first studied the Side-by-Side Collaboration to identify whether a two user system had benefits compared to the single user systems. ...

Education Segregation in the United States

Education is a critical component of a country’s future, and the quality of a country’s citizens determines the level of prosperity its community will enjoy.

Introduction

Machine learning techniques are based on an explicit or implicit model that enables categorize established patterns analyzed. A unique feature of these schemes is the need to train labeled data model behavior, this being a process that demands resources. Many machine learning-based schemes have been applied to NIDS. Some of the most important are Bayesian networks, Markov models, neural networks, fuzzy logic techniques, genetic algorithms, and clustering and outlier detection (Carbonneau, et. al., 2008, pp. 1140-54).
The task of automatic text classification is based on building and using machines called supervised learning. The process of creating an ...

Abstract

Microscopic analysis of materials is generally complex; hence engineers always look for alternative methods of analysis, by appropriate modelling. In specific, studying the damage of materials is important in almost every discipline of science/engineering/technology. Material damage includes the beginning, advancement and fracture of materials. The most important tool so far, used to analyze this damage, is called damage mechanics which relies heavily on continuum mechanics. It encompasses useful theories for the representation, modelling, and analysis of material damage. Broadly speaking, damage mechanics utilizes state variables to show the effects of damage. For instance, the variations in stiffness, and the ...

Quality Assessment

Scanning technology (3D laser scanner technique) measures the dimension of a precast concrete panel using extraction algorithms to measure boundary points with a compensation model to increase measurement accuracy (Kim et al., 2013). 3D laser scanning converts CAD models into BIM, which identifies scanned objects by ensuring precision for rebar mapping before actual drilling as well as rebar detailing for installing rebar cages (Hajian & Brandow, 2012). Before shipping precast concrete elements, dimensional quality assurance (DQA) is carried out to ensure that there are no dimensional defects using a scanner in an automated process that saves time and labor input ( ...

Abstract
Innovations and modifications that produce cost reductions and enhance performance have driven the evolution of the classic solid rocket and the liquid bipropellant rocket into hybrid models that integrate the predominant solid and liquid model features into more sensical, more economical fabrications of design. The commercial spacecraft demands for aerospace propulsion have also evolved to include a market for environmentally sustainable hybrid rocket engines that has yet to fully mature to the Technology Readiness Level (TRL). Numerical modeling has been used as a tool to test the feasibility of new solid fuel types. ABS has been considered as ...

Introduction

Tensile testing is usually conducted to select a material for its application, quality control, and to forecast how the material is likely to react on deployment of different types of forces. The properties evaluated through the tensile test include the ultimate tensile strength, the maximum elongation, X-area reduction and so forth. These evaluations facilitate determination of such properties as Young’s Modulus, yield strength, Poisson’s ratio, and the characteristics of strain hardening [1. 2]. Tensile testing on glass fibre is, thus, performed to determine the quality of the material it contains, and to ascertain its suitability for various applications.
