Essays on Cracking

There is a focus on every level, within a business, to support brand growth and satisfaction of customer and shareholder expectations. However, this can be a challenge, when you consider how best to promote a brand, and build up its profitability. There is a fine line between when to cut corners to save money, or when to push the envelope to drive success, and when a brand goes too far and ultimately ostracizes the target audience through their actions. This is visible in all four of the articles reviewed. In each ...

The US Constitution allows Congress the power to deploy the ‘militia’ with the objective of “executing the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions.” In addition, it ensures that the states are protected against aggression to overthrow the “republican government” and, upon the request of the state government, against civil disturbances. These constitutional tenets are seen in the 1807 Insurrection Act prior to and after the adoption of 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. The latter bans the deliberate engagement of any component of the Army or the Air Force unless allowed by the ambit of Congress ...

Terrorism is one of the most terrifying and perpetual threats that Americans and people all across the globe must contend with in the modern era. There are international terrorist threats, as well as, domestic ones, as seen in Dallas, Texas, this last week. However the bulk of terrorism stems from the Middle East. It was 9/11 that showed people just how organized and well-planned terrorist attacks could happen on a grand scale; the organization Al-Qaeda proudly took credit for this tragedy. Presently the threat has new name, ISIS, these vicious and violent Islamic Extremists who have attempted to intimidate ...

What is chronic heart failure?

It is a condition where the heart is unable to sufficiently pump oxygen rich blood to the rest of the body to meet the body’s metabolic needs.

Nursing Implications and indictors of chronic Heart Failure

When a patient presents signs and symptoms of chronic heart failure, a set of assessment and diagnostic test should be conducted to ascertain the presumed diagnosis. The most imperative patient assessment should be the evaluation of patient’s medical history. A nurse is always the first person to obtain the patient’s medical history. It is important to determine the patient’s risk profile, patient’s cardiac history and what were ...

Introduction

Stainless steel is an important component in the modern industry having various uses in the industry. This has forced new developments in its manufacturing especially in terms of its composition. This can be the steel made from aluminum, manganese, and iron. All these materials makes the finished stainless steel product unique in terms of its composition, physical metallurgy, and other factors. This paper is going to discuss the development in stainless steel technology with regards to its composition in terms of the materials used. The materials that are going to be discusses are Al, Mn, and Fe. The paper ...

Literature review

In the history of the construction of sea structures in oil exploration, load and corrosion together with how those structures will be maintained have always posed a scientific nightmare. Chamberlain, Adam and other authors in a scientific journal illustrate that for a good design of an onshore structure, there should be a right proportion of the ingredients in order for the structure to give maximum life service. They all agreed that in order to achieve this, keen interest should be paid to the permeability, strength, and durability of the mixture. Finally, they added that for effective control of corrosion, ...

Introduction

Stainless steel is an alloy with iron as major part and chromium with at least 11% by weight . Stainless steel industry grew rapidly during the 1989-93 period . This paper analyzes stress corrosion of stainless steel along with prevention measures and selection methods for stainless steel. After carrying out the study, it would be established whether stainless steel is an effective alloy or not for major uses in steel industry through adopting various selection parameters. Stainless steel is called stainless due to the resistance to rusting and corrosion .

Stress-corrosion in Stainless Steel

In order to reduce various occurrences of intergranular stress-corrosion cracking and severe ...

Introduction

Ethylene is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas, although it can also result in combustion of large chained hydrocarbons. Additionally, it is the simplest gaseous organic compound of the alkene group. Statistically, it is the most commercially manufactured gas globally since it has several industrial applications. The gas is odorless, and climacteric fruits do produces the gas as they begin to ripe, for instance, apples. During the fruit ripening process, the gas is responsible for color changing, softening of the fruit as well as the change in texture in addition to other processes too (Abeles et al., 2012 n.p).

Respiration versus ripening

Ripening ...

Airport Pavement Management Program (PMP) and Airport Signage and Marking Program

Goals: Ensure provision of smooth surfaces with excellent skid resistance devoid of alligator cracks, frost heaving, pumps, ravels, pot holes and wheel rutting which may hinder effectual motion in the airport.

Ensure effectual repair and maintenance of Airport pavements

Ensure proper and clear signage and markings in airports Assumptions and other considerations: It is advisable to submit written suggestions of Airport pavement repairs to the regional Maintenance Engineer who then shares with the Airport Pavement Management Program coordinator in order to ensure good coordination between maintenance and construction initiatives at the airports. Detecting, recognizing and clearly marking runway holding positions and signs in an airport is effectual ...

Klein, D. V. (1990). Foiling the cracker: A survey of, and improvements to, password security. In Proceedings of the 2nd USENIX Security Workshop (pp. 5-14).

The article ‘‘Foiling the Cracker’’: A Survey of, and Improvements to, Password

Security by Daniel V. Klein was published in 1990. Klein looks into system security and discusses how people can hack passwords. He claims that the issue of security has always been a challenge to most individual accounts as there are people who know how to manipulate such accounts such that they hack them and get vital information about another party. He discusses the various ways in which technology has motivated the interference of system ...
