Abstract The successful flight of an aircraft is often attributed to the finesse of its pilots as well as the dispatcher. It is a common practice in air crash investigations to put the blame of such a mishap on the shoulders of its pilots and the air traffic control unit. Most often, the other factors that are inclusive in any successful flight, is omitted. This paper tries to analyze these causes from the perspective of National Transport Safety Board, to generate an independent view about the crash of UPS Flight 1354. After thorough inspection of NTSB reports three main ...

Introduction

Almost all of the commercial airplane accidents that have been reported in the past are caused by human error which accounts for approximately 70% of the accidents (Griffin et al., 2015). Hence, it is important to appreciate the fact that human error is recently becoming a principal concern not only to flight operations but in the maintenance practices as well as air traffic control. The above concern has made the major airlines to employ human factor professionals who work closely with the engineers and pilots to embrace innovation on human performance as well as the airplanes to help enhance ...

It has been both theoretically and empirically established that increase in bank lending causes asset price bubbles, leading to increase in bank leverage too. But the converse is also true. When the real estate price decline, the demand for bank lending diminishes and this in turn deleverages the banks’ balance sheet (Hofmann, 2003). As real estate prices start to decline, the investors who have held the property for speculative reasons, start selling them. This further drives down the prices, rendering the common people who had taken bank loans to buy houses, foreclose in case of default. It has been ...

While journalists are not tripping over each other in a bid to publish the sensational materials presently, the interest in the story has not ceased completely, neither has the investigation that is still to name the guilty party. Until it has, media will continue their coverage ...

BUSINESS: DETERMINING SUSTAINABLE OPTIONS

In business, sustainability has a very specific meaning. For most businesses, including federal lenders and mortgage companies, sustainability is an adherence to the triple bottom line: the consideration of people, profits, and the planet simultaneously, rather than the sole consideration of profit (Gibbs, 2009). Businesses must foster sustainable practices in the modern world in many ways, but the mortgage industry must be concerned about the long-term viability and legitimacy of their organization, especially after the collapse of the real estate market in the United States between 2008 and 2010. Sustainable practices are practices that allow the business to sustain ...

The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (hereafter referred to as “the Act”) was enacted mainly to make provision for promotion and regulation of aviation in the interest of safety and development (Federal Aviation Act, 1958). It was passed in response to what was felt to be inadequate regulation. There had been calls for comprehensive legislative reform but Congress was not convinced about the necessity for such reforms. A series of accidents laid bare the inadequacies of the existing regulation. The public outcry that followed these accidents forced Congress to react by passing the Act. Flying in the 1920s, when ...

Where the national law of a European Union (EU) member state conflicts with the norms of EU law; the national law must give way. Put another way, EU law is primary to or supreme over the domestic laws it members. Although the Treaty of Rome, which created the EU, does not specifically state the primacy of EU law; the European Court of Justice’s (ECJ) early interpretation of a number of the treaty’s provision focusing on the conflict between EU and domestic law has led to the common belief and continuing precedent of the supremacy of EU law. ...

According to Bryant Thomson, priming is a process that occurs when one’s exposure to mediated communication activates some related thoughts that were previously stored in his or her mind. Messages passed through the media, for example in terms of adverts often trigger thoughts, concepts, learning or even knowledge that has been leant in the past and that is related to the message content. This process is what constitutes “priming” and in addition to just activating related thoughts and concepts, it can also influence behavior. This paper seeks to explore this concept by using an example of a media advert ...

Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate Tectonics

All the earth processes are a result of energy flow and mass circulation in and outside of the earth system. Plate tectonics is an earth process that involves the movement of the lithosphere caused by internal processes inside the earth’s mantle (Kent C 154). This is as a result of convection currents within the earth’s crust caused by the heat in the crust. This heat in the crust is due to the initial heat during the earth’s formation and through the radioactive process. The earth’s core is made of radioactive elements such as uranium which decay and ...

1) Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate tectonics?

The outermost layer of earth, or lithosphere, is broken up into tectonic plates. The boundaries of the plates and their movement leads to the formation of earthquakes, volcanic activity, creation of mountains, and the formation of oceanic trenches. Tectonic plates are formed from either oceanic crust or continental crust, with many containing both. The movement of the plates varies from 0-100mm in a given year. The movement of these plates comes from the outward energy of flow that comes from earth’s central core. Radioactivity produced from elements within earth’s core, such as uranium, decay and release energy. The ...

1) Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate tectonics?

The earth’s composition consists of a crust, mantle and core. The earth’s core consists of elements like uranium which are radioactive. Due to the phenomenon of radioactivity, these elements decay and trigger a reaction. Because of this a large amount of energy is produced in the core and inner core of the earth. Because of this energy, the core of the earth is very hot and in a molten state. This heat is transferred from the core to the crust by the process convection currents formed in the molten core, creating a cycle of rising and falling of the molten material. This ...

Currently, different industries employ different strategies for dealing with wastes. Some of the ...

2) There are justifications on the presence of the moon. Perhaps, collision-ejection theory of the moon gives an explains on the issues. The theory asserts that the moon exists due to the formation of debris ejected from the earth, especially when objects crushed. Collision-ejection theory claims that the newly formed earth collided with mars at an angle, which splashed the layers of the earth surface into the orbit around it. This implies that the Earth crust and mantle formed the moon though condensation. There are various facts on the moon that the theory is consistent with. Some of the ...
