Lack of water can negatively impact the growth of pinto bean, but some varieties of the plant ...

Counter Measures to the Bullwhip Effect

Introduction
The bullwhip effect is the unexpected distortion of the supply chain. It refers to the “variability of order rates” (Disney and Lambrecht, 2008, p. 3). This supply chain hazard has its roots in Jay Forrester’s Industrial Dynamics Theory of the late 1950s (Goldsby and Martichenko, 2005). Forrester was the first person to introduce the concept and simulate a model in 1961. There are many solutions to counter the bullwhip effect.
The reason why there are many solutions to the bullwhip effect is because it is triggered by multiple causes. For instance, the most common cause is overreacting ...

Soy beans and their derivative products contain naturally occurring compounds called isoflavones. The isoflavones, occurring predominantly as daidzein and genistein, are not in actual sense estrogens, and, thus, they do not increase estrogen levels in blood when diets rich in them are taken. However, they have been noted to affect estrogen metabolism. Also known sometimes as phytoestrogens, because of producing weak-estrogen like effects in the body, isoflavones usually bind to estrogen receptor proteins, which in turn interact with one’s genetic materials in the cell. In this way, isflavones would be mimicking some of the physiological effects of the ...

Introduction

The physiological and emotional impacts of stress have been widely discussed in the fields of social and health psychology. It is no longer a secret that exposure to stress carries a bevy of physiological and psychological detriments, yet the existing research on the best ways to mitigate the detrimental effects of stress is not as conclusive. While stress is frequently studied, the wide variety of operational definitions of stress, as well as the wide variety of stressors in existence make it difficult to create conclusive research. While there is no “one size fits all” approach to stress mitigation, there are some ...

Hyperinflation is considered an extreme case of inflation. Many economists only regard it hyperinflation when the rate of inflation is at least 50% per month or 1000% per annum. Most hyperinflations are caused by ...

While caring for children with DD (developmental disabilities) can in some ways be rewarding (Benson, 2010, p. 218), it can also be extremely stressful. For both parents and professional caregivers, stress is a very common part of dealing with children with ID (intellectual disabilities) or ASD (autism spectrum disorders) (Mills & Rose, 2011, p. 846). One consequence of this kind of stress is a possibility of caregiver burnout. The following paper will examine the concept of "mindfulness" as it can be applied to professional and parental care for children with DD. A number of different research studies will be considered, ...

In order to known how AMP kinase, knock down leads to Biot respiration in mice; it is necessary to known how AMP kinase affects respiratory rate. AMP kinase is a metabolic sensor and is activated in response to stretching of the lung alveolar cells and other stressors. During respiration, the lung goes through cycles of expansion and contraction (Budinger et al., 2008). When the alveolar cells stretch during expansion, the 5′ AMP-activated ...

Current research on bystander intervention has produced many outcomes indicating that the presence of other people in a critical situation, especially bullying, reduces the probability that an individual will help. Diffusion of responsibility contributes to the bystander effect. This implies that a person does not feel the need to help someone in need if several people are also present since the responsibility is among those present. Most people believe that there exist safety in numbers, but there are times when a large crowd does not support a victim. According to Barlińska, Szuzter & Winiewski (2013), “Bystanders are the social audience in many crime ...

Infections in hospital settings are a challenge in nursing because of the potential dangers that they pose to a wide number of patients. Bloodstream infections from central lines are particularly hazardous as they affect patients that are already vulnerable, meaning that they contribute to morbidity and mortality in the hospital setting (Rinke et al., 2012). Although the rates of central-line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) can be reduced by up to 67% through the introduction of checklists (Schulman et al., 2011), the issue continues to be important in a wide number of hospital settings.
