Introduction

This paper focuses on Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), driverless, and autonomous trucks and cars—collectively referred to as “driverless and autonomous vehicles” in this paper. The transportation industry is one of the most important sectors in the world economy. It ensures that goods and services can freely flow within unrestricted (i.e. trade-able) areas. This is allowed through the fast and efficient (as much as possible) of commodities and people. The premise is that the faster and more efficient goods and people can be moved from one point to another, the more booming the transportation industry will be. A booming ...

1. Introduction: Concussion occurs from traumatic injury to the brain and results in a temporary disruption of brain function or loss/altered consciousness for a short period (Moser, 2012). Concussion is common in contact sports, where there is a collision between players. It is expected to have an adverse cumulative effect on the persons cognitive and mental functioning (Moser, 2012). With course of time, this could adversely affect once athletic career. Identifying incidence of concussion in a particular sport, will help to determine risk and initiate preventive measures. Rugby is a full body contact sports and there are high chances ...

Immigration Issues

Immigration is such a many-sided problem that it is extremely hard to single-out the most important parts of it. Immigration hits the governments that are hosting immigrants and of course, it hits the people who give up their lives either in search for a better destiny or in hope to find peace and save themselves. In this paper, I would like to focus on this recent wave of immigration that has consumed Europe in the past few years, because of the multiple war zones that have occurred in the East of our planet. I believe that the receiving sides ...

English astronomer W. Herschel discovered planetary nebulae in about 1783. Nebulae received the name "planetary" on account of their external similarity with the images of distant planets, light wheels of which are different from the point images of the stars. “A planetary nebula is a beautiful object created during the final stages of the life of a star whose birth mass was between 1 and 8 solar masses” (“Planetary Nebulae”). A planetary nebula is an astronomical object consisting of an ionized gas shell and the central star, a white dwarf. All planetary nebulae originate from stars that are in ...

According to Edwin Flippo, human resource management is the process of planning, organizing, directing, and controlling of the procurement development of the human resources to the end that both individual and societal objectives are achieved (Deb, 2006). Human resource is considered as the most valuable asset in any organization because the human resource function, in a real sense, adds considerable value to the organization (Beardwell and Claydon, 2007).

From a general point of view, the human resource function is identified as one ...

Introduction During manufacturing and production processes, material handling is key in realizing high throughputs. Most industries however still use manual techniques such as trucks, conveyor belts, and roller chains despite the discovery of automated and advanced systems which could make transportation easier. This is because of cost-related issues. In the long run however, cutting on overhead costs, reliability and flexibility in ...

Introduction

The nationwide pipeline system in the USA has been constructed to transport the natural gas, oil, and refined petroleum products. This constitutes about 71% of the refined products and oils are being transported with about 100% natural gas of the consumption in the USA. The three sectors that are involved in the transportation of these energy products are; operators of the gas transmission pipelines, operators of hazardous liquids in the pipeline and the distributors of gas utilities. An approximate of 299,000 miles and 171,000 miles are offshore gas transmission and liquid onshore pipelines respectively. This operates in ...
