Wind engineering is a significant component in civil engineering. This is because winds can have devastating effects on different manmade and natural structures. Windstorms produce large amounts of damage every year (Holmes, 2007). Weather conditions such as thunderstorms generate local winds, whereas hurricanes and typhoons may generate very strong winds. Designing of buildings and structure takes into account the dead load of the structure plus the imposed load. However, in including a factor of safety for the structures the engineers have to factor in the wind load.

The European Union did not begin, as many seem to think, as a diplomatic coalition of European states. Instead, the formation of the European Union was a practical financial decision, born from the changing face of the world after the end of the Cold War (Majone). The European Union is home to a wide variety of different people with different cultures; the purpose of the formation of the Union was not to homogenize the continent, but to form a coalition of independent states that worked together to counterbalance American economic and financial power, as well as the rising economic power of China (Dinan).

Economists have proved that capital and labor are not sufficient of themselves to stimulate growth in an economy. In fact, many experts now believe that the vital determining factor in economic growth is knowledge. It is generally presumed that larger firms have an advantage when it comes to producing and capitalizing upon knowledge. Large businesses are in a better position than most businesses in terms for paying for R&D, human capital and patenting inventions. However, although the factors of capital and unskilled labor are sources of competitive advantage in an economy characterized by large scale production, an entrepreneurial economy ...

Further, this concept of empowerment provides a sense of authority to the employees exercising it.

This study provides a critical analysis on the changing notion of comfort standards in building systems through a critique of Cole, Robinson, Brown and O’Shea’s (2008) “Re-Contextualizing the Notion of Comfort”. Diverse climate conditions across several locations around the world highly characterize standards of comfort met through the construction of residential and commercial buildings, thus the understanding that people derive comfort based on the normal weather conditions in their respective locales. Various standards for buildings –where people use spaces for habitation or work, ensure comfortable living in accordance to distinct climate conditions. Climate change, in this case, ...

Switzerland was for instance the first country that started to expense labor shortages. On realizing that the production of watches was adversely affected by labor unrests, Switzerland opted to concentrate on highly innovative and very high-end watches that were not labor intensive and thus gained comparative advantage over the others Despite having very high priced land, Japan still manages to be a global leader even with little capacity to hold stock. Japan has therefore invented the Just In time inventory system that ensures that stock is only available when its needed. This has propelled the country to global leadership ...

Summary

This poem has to do with the ways that anger and resentment can end up harming us not just as individuals but as a society. Six people sit around a fire, each with a piece of wood that could keep the fire burning. However, they look across the fire at one another, and several different areas of difference bubble up between them, and so they sit and wait. The first person is a woman who looks across and sees a black man sitting across from her. The prejudice she feels keeps her from putting her wood into the fire. Then, a person sees someone not ...

This paper will analyse the a key political speech given by US president John F Kennedy in West Berlin June 26th 1963 commonly referred to as the “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech, literally translating as “I am a Berliner” although perhaps more amusingly making reference to a local food “I am a do-nut.” (Bruner 319-328) The historical context of the speech may be seen as an important factor in considering the importance of the speech as much as the words and language of the piece itself. To this extent, the speech was given in the capital of Germany a country which the United States ...

This essay deals with the notion of death and dying in the movie, where protagonists prove to be more than ordinary people who would probably succumb to the pressure of knowing that their last days are numbered.

In the end, however, they figure out that for this, they did not need fancy dinners and exotic trips, rather what they needed was beside them all along: family and friends; ...

Kenneth Cole is well knows not only for his successful business but also for his numerous social advertisements.

This advertisement is especially successful because it is depicted on an everyday object; uses play of words and at the same times gives clear facts about the situation at hand.

On the positive side, Cox sees benefits such as improvements in decision-making, more innovation and creativity, and greater success in marketing to ...

One reason was to build an organization of countries that could rely on each other to work together against any threat from the Soviet Union.

Jean Rhys’ I Used to Live Here Once, is an unusually short story. However, it is also unusually memorable, which is always a sign of an effective piece of work.

I Used to Live Here Once is a rather shadowy tale of a woman who appears to be a ghost calling on her childhood home. The narrator trails the woman on her walk from a near river and along an old road that leads to the house in which she spent her ...

Visiting a carpentry shop, I came across a sand paper which may be the coarsest sand paper I ever touched. It felt like the grains are as course as the grains of the sand. After two minutes, I tried rubbing my fingers again but the sand paper seems to become fewer courses just like rubbing my fingers to a sugar in a cup. After another two minutes, I tried rubbing again my fingers to the sand paper and this time, it was not as coarse as the sugar anymore. The grains seemed to become finer just like the grains of a coffee. Thinking of ...

Personally, I believe that to use effectively a machine or any tool to one need to have prior information about it and needs to have frequently used it. The experience he has in the use of the equipment will make him work most effectively and efficiently with the machine. Therefore, I propose that the disaster management equipment need to be used frequently by the people who are responsible for taking rescue actions in case of the occurrence of the disaster. The main reason is that through the frequent interaction with the machines and equipment, the workers are able to familiarize ...

Introduction Joseph Nye’s book titled what matters is compelling in that it strives to predict the future of the US government foreign policy. But Yogi Berra, the great shrewd of baseball, was heard saying, “Never make predictions—principally about the future.” He apparently had a point but if we go back three decades, to the late 1970s, the Cold War was in earnest, and conservative wisdom held that American power was in the decline. But of course no one saw the Internet coming. Why must we think we can do any better by looking forward 30-plus years? ...

Europe aligned itself between the capitalist and communist powers, and became divided by what Winston Churchill famously termed the “Iron Curtain”. The ...

Introduction

One might be inclined to think that injuries are only prone in sports like soccer, football, athletics and indoor games. This misconstrued notion is not only fallacious but also misguided. It is not uncommon for members of the performing arts to complain of numbness, pain and at times serious injuries. For a long time, performance related injuries have plagued the performance arts. Of interest is the fact that it was not until the early 1980s that the term ‘Performing Arts Medicine’ was coined. The emergence of the term and by extension the recognition of the injuries in performance arts was ...

William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams has always been known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry. Yet in comparison to artists of his own time who sought a new environment for creativity as expatriates in Europe, Williams lived a remarkably conventional life. A doctor for more than forty years serving the New Jersey town of Rutherford, he relied on his patients, the America around him, and his own ebullient imagination to create a distinctively American verse. Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is also characteristically honest: "There ...
