Essays on Downwards

Hawai'i was the 50th state to join the USA. It comprises 132 islands and is said to be the home of volcanic islands. These islands reside in the Central Pacific Ocean. Moana Loa is one of the top most active volcanoes that had formed the island of Hawaii in the ocean (Networks, 2016). The movement of plate tectonics has resulted in the volcanic eruption and, however, the volcano towering and presence of valleys had a significant impact on the economic value.

Theory of plate tectonics

Plate tectonics theory explains that upper layer of the earth’s surface is segregated into various plates that ...

Introduction

Newton's Second Law of motion asserts that the acceleration of an object exhibits a direct proportional relationship with the subsequent force acting on it. It explores the relationship that exists between force, mass and acceleration as exhibited by an object. This experiment examines Newton's Second Law of motion by enabling a dwindling weight to speed up a glider of recognised quantity along a track. A thread that links the dwindling mass to the glider is passed above a smart pulley (Knight, 2004). It is imperative to note that the smart pulley exhibits insignificant inertia, low friction and its revolution ...

Downward communication is when information comes from the top of the hierarchy and is passed along to the bottom of the hierarchy. According to Daniel Katz and Robert L. Kahn, the types of messages passed through downward communication are job instructions, job rationales, procedures and practices, feedback, and indoctrination. These messages can be passed through staff meetings, internal newsletters, one-on-one meeting, bulletin boards, employee information sheet, e-mail and staff handbook. Each message is unique and should, therefore, be sent via the appropriate channel. For instance, if it is feedback being given to an individual employee, it would be appropriate ...

Change management is an approach that ensures that changes are smoothly and thoroughly implemented to achieve benefits in the end. According to the article leading through change by Kimberly King, various critical points assist one in developing change management skills in an organization. First, communication should be done upwards and not sideways or downwards. As a manager who is focusing on introducing change in any organization, one should emphasize on communicating with those above in position. It will enable one to understand more and get enough information, which will help to introduce change downwards and sideways (Upchurch, 2016, p. ...

Introduction

The exchange of respiratory gas is limited by the capacity of the respiratory muscles to circulate air in the lung. Ventilation fails when muscles do not have the capacity to cope with the load brought by the mechanics of the pulmonary system. It is crucial to comprehend the mechanics of respiration/breathing not only for purposes of diagnosing how the system has failed and to offer the correct prescription for treatment of the failure, but to be capable of providing the most effectual temporary respiratory support through the use of a mechanical ventilator, as well. The first category explains the ...

Butterfly is a style of swimming on the chest, while swimming a sportsman performs simultaneous and symmetrical movements of left and right parts of the body. Using both hands, a swimmer makes a powerful stroke, in the performance of which the upper part of the body is lifted above the water while performing symmetrical kicks “from the pelvis”.

Arm Motion

Hands in this style of swimming are the main driving force. All arm movements can be divided into three main phases: to yourself, from yourself and return. • The hands in the starting position are stretched forward, placed shoulder-width apart and immersed ...

La Géode (at the Bernard Tschumi’s Parc de la Villete,) Carlos ZGZ| Flickr, n.d. Bernard Tschumi’s Parc de la Villete is a good example of deconstruction in architecture because it correctly illustrates how an architect, similar to a writer, can use rhetorical devices, such as “repetition, distortion, or juxtaposition” (Tschumi 146). In the above photograph, the fountain, named La Géode, does not look like a traditional fountain. The shape of the fountain is distorted and allows the water to spray downwards instead of upwards. Additionally, instead of the water curving and ...

Introduction

Tension forces act on liquid surfaces, the thread in them is pulled into circular arcs. The pull is referred to as surface tension of the liquid. Surface tension exists uniformly in all directions. The forces affect the shape and motion of liquids that have open surfaces. Tension forces can be understood regarding forces that occur between the molecules. Repulsion occurs in molecules when they are close but attract when they are far from each other. Inside the liquid, molecules are close to each other. Thus, there are slight repulsions. Molecules at the surface of the liquid are some distance ...

An automotive engine is a propulsion system responsible for moving automobiles from one place to another. An engine converts energy from a fuel or a battery to the mechanical energy used to spin the wheels, thus setting a vehicle in motion. There are different types of engines used in the automotive industry today. These include internal combustion engines and electricity driven vehicles. The internal combustion engines burn fuels such as petrol, diesel, natural gas or propane. Electric engines are fitted with electromagnetic motors that are powered by electric currents from storage batteries on the vehicle. The sole purpose of ...

1.0 Introduction and Background Information Nuclear power and energy has become very useful in the economics of the modern world. Whereas the energy can help to achieve enormous benefits, it cannot be disputed that the inherent hazards are potentially dangerous (Greenberg 63). These dangers are evoked by the nuclear wastes produced after the energy is produced and utilized (Strandberg 87). In principle, such waste is radioactive in nature implying that it remains active over a long period of time. As such, it becomes fundamentally vital to ensure that the nuclear waste management is concrete and undoubtedly reliable (Miller 84). ...

Aircraft control surfaces are components of an aircraft used to control an aircraft. Normally, the control surfaces are movable parts in the plane wings and the tail. The surfaces help the pilot adjust attitude or plane orientation by creating differential pressure on different parts of the aircraft. The difference is pressure produces a force which then acts on the plane to produce the desired effect. Control surfaces employ the principle of lift just like the wings but in different directions. The lift forces produced by a control surface can act independently or in combination with a force from another ...

Traditional responses of corporate strategy, hierarchical structures and control systems are among the major factors that inhibit the flexibility of a company, its ability to take up new opportunities and thrive in the ever changing external relationships. Mainly, these factors are caused by organizational similarity. Organizations need to be legitimate. Most of their behavioral and structural aspects are targeted towards environmental acceptance rather than internal organization similarity. Hence, most organizations tend to be similar, adopting traditional business practices. The success of companies is mainly determined by their flexibility to changing needs, new opportunities and the ability to create new ...

Introduction

The AS-AD framework is a very useful economy tool, which reduces the economy into a simple model of supply and demand. The aggregate demand curve (AD) is given by the summation of consumption (C), investments (I), government purchases (G) and net exports (X-M). On the other hand, the supply curve is a function of the expected price levels. This paper uses the AS-AD model to analyse the economy at various levels of employment, and the adjustments that accompany movement various policy actions. It begins with a depiction of an economy operating at less than full employment, showing that economies often tend towards the ...

OBJECTIVE/THIRD-PERSON POINT OF VIEW

Lucy looked through her windscreen at the snow-covered road. She noticed the tracks of other cars as she turned the ignition. Driving carefully, she eased her way down the steep hill to make her usual turn into Main Street. As she put her foot on the brakes to steady the car downwards she noticed something was wrong. Lucy was pressing the brakes, but instead of slowing down the car was picking up speed. She slammed the brakes, but the car just moved faster. The tyres had no grip on the road. The car was skating. She had lost ...

Accrual Base Accounting and cash based accounting are 2 methods employed by managers in financial reporting of the earnings of a company over a period. As per Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), a company has a choice in application of accounting methods which is often referred to as earning management.

Accrual based accounting is a form of measuring the income where the effect of transaction is recorded when the transaction occurs rather than being recorded when cash is received or paid, which is the cash based accounting method. This method enables the combining of the current cash inflows and outflows with future expected cash ...

Question#1: Use Keynesian cross to explain why fiscal policy has a multiplied effect on national income. Answer: The equation for calculation of national income under Keynesian model is Y=C+I+G+(X-M). In this formula, the Y denotes national income, C denotes level of consumption, I denote level of investment done in the economy, G denotes government’s expenditure, X denotes imports, and M denotes imports of an economy. With the help of this formula, the governments drive fiscal policies for the economy. With the help of this equation, it has been said by Keynes himself that when the ...

Physics is a branch of science concerned with different aspects of the physical world such as energy and matter. Physics encompasses wide scientific subjects such as electricity, heat, magnetism, sound, mechanics, light, and radiation among others. Modern technologies, such as digital devices and nano technologies are based on simple physics concepts. As a result, all engineering disciplines require a profound physics background. In the future, I plan to pursue a career in mechanical engineering in the automotive industry. This is a paper on the importance of physics in mechanical engineering. As a mechanical engineer, one is required to clearly understand a wide range of topics ...

Question 1

All successful businesses thrive because the society exists to provide the market for their goods and services at a price. These firms therefore owe it to the society that the operations of their business should be conducted in a responsible manner and ‘give back’ to the society. This has led to the prominence of the term ‘corporate social responsibility’ (CRS). Under this concept, businesses are expected to conduct and participate in activities that improve the welfare of the society in which they transact in. some of the things that a business could do to benefit these communities include: ensuring that the environment ...

Communication Management

Introduction Communication is a medium of conveying one’s point of view to another through some channel. Communication is defined as the transfer of information from sender to receiver. The effective communication is that in which the receiver comprehends the communicated message effectively. It is essential for achieving goals and targets. In today’s globalized world, communication has taken an eminent position (Adler & Lawrence, 139). If said specifically then the organizational communication is the process in which the receiver stimulates the information or message in other person’s mind. This message can be in form of verbal or non-verbal. ...

Introduction

It is the role of the government to establish regulations guiding business principles and strategic management. When the government imposes these regulations businesses adapt by changing their operations and processes. Time and again the government keeps changing its frameworks forcing businesses to adjust on their operations. The effects are determined by the levels of profitability and competitiveness of businesses. Business owners are obliged to adhere to government rules and regulations by implementing polices aimed at achieving the government objective. When the government raises its expenditure, for example, it injects income into the public. This creates investment opportunities or ...

Abstract

The ensuing paper looks at cervical cancer in the state of Wisconsin. Cancer of the female sexual reproductive organs is a serious problem in the United States, and Wisconsin has not been spared the grim scourge. The pages below will reveal some striking trends. First of all, it shows that Wisconsin, while it may make up a small or modest proportion of all cancer-related deaths in the union, does appear to have a difficult time stopping new cases of cancer – notably, uterine corpus cancer – from emerging. This suggests that somewhere along the line – be it because of lifestyle choices, drinking water, or ...

Channels of distribution

A channel of distribution may also be referred to as a trade channel. It is a path or the route that goods from manufacturers or producers to the ultimate industrial users or the consumers. It is, therefore, the distribution network through which the producer puts his product so that it reaches the final consumer. A channel consists of the producers, several middle men such as the retailers, wholesalers and other various selling agents who bridge the gap between the producers and the final consumers. It, therefore, creates possession, time and place utilities in the course of changing of ownerships.Any channel of ...

Database

Data is a term that represents the raw facts about an entity about which a person or organization may have need to store. A computer user feeds this data into a computer using input devices such as a keyboard or scanner, where the data gets manipulated by specialized computer programs. This is called processing after which meaningful and well organized data results. This is called information. With time an organization accumulates large amount of data and information. The USG (2014) asserts that an organization must therefore store this data and information into an organized and efficient system where users may access it ...

Comparison of flight mechanic propeller driven air planes and birds

Both birds and airplanes have a requirement that they must overcome the force of gravity in order to make flights. Due their weight difference, airplanes and birds differ in power requirement for flying. The power to bring balance between the lift and gravity, drag and thrust such that any flying object can fly comfortably varies as power the weight of these objects. Depending on the power capability of birds and airplanes there are limits for weight requirements for these objects. Airplanes require powerful engines to fly their heavy weight. Most commonly heavy airplanes use jet engines to fly the heavy ...

Book VII - On Shadows and Realities in Education

SOCRATES - GLAUCON AND now, I said, let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened: --Behold! human beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will ...

Good Performance of the economy influences the success of the stock markets. If the economy performs poorly, stock markets will decline leading to decline in prices of shares traded in the stock exchange markets. Operation of stock markets is usually governed by various economic stock agents who use economic indicators in forecasting the future trends in the stock exchange. These economic agents are mainly stock investors and their activities in the stock markets are a major determiner of the direction the market takes. They influence these activities by use of all available information determining the performance of the economy. If ...

The concept of leadership in an organization such as a school normally has many concepts that have to be followed in the context that individuals are faced with the prospect that they have to assume leadership in the complex organization. In this context power in the organization have to be channelled down from the top management to the lower staff in the most specific and systematic manner. This is in the context that focuses to examine the vital components that actually makes up an organization such as a school (Robert 2011 p.182). In that context and overview Robert argues that ...

Introduction

The paper discusses the implication of upwardly flexible, but downwardly inflexible wages and how long it takes to recover from recessionary and inflationary gap. The second part of the paper focuses on how this rigidity of wages limits the balancing of the cyclic budget.

Question 1

In case of recessionary gap, the economy is operating under the full employment in the short-term. This is because of the fact that the wages are so high for the firms to employ more workers. Since wages are flexible upwards and sticky downwards, it would be difficult to lower the wages in order to attain ...

Descriptive Introduction

Thesis: The Father of Black Free Masonry The prince hall order of the Eastern star organization is a fraternal group where both women and men can belong. The Eastern Star order is an adoptive group of Prince Hall and Freemasonry orders historically had a black membership. The members adhere to a philosophy-based service on biblical teachings and faith, if not religion. Prince Hall is the father of Black Masonry as recognized in the United States (Brown, 2005). Though there is no firm record of date of birth, vague information leads us to believe his birth was in Barbados in 1748, or ...

The dream of flying was born more than two thousand years before anyone ever made attempts realizing that dream. The kite was the first invention by human beings to know the skies. The first ever record of kite flying was in China where a Chinese general flew a distance of around two hundred meters in order to survey their enemy's territory. The ideas in flight went on advancing and from the kite the hang gliders arose. It is crucial for one to note that the Wright brothers were responsible for the first ever air borne structure that could carry the weight ...

All matter contains one form of energy or another. Matter by definition is anything that occupies space and has weight (Nave, 2012). According to Nave, all matter, when subjected to act by an external force changes from one form of energy to another. Kinetic energy is defined as the energy possessed by a body in motion (Nave). A body is termed as having potential energy by virtue of its motion (Niemi, 2000; Marjanovic & Milkovic, 2010; Jones, 2012). Take for example, a boy with a huge ball (mass m) at the top of a hill (see figure below). While the ball is ...

1. Resonance; asteroids has the tendency of oscillating in a system at greater frequencies and amplitude. 6. Mass is the physical quantity that measures inertia. An object with a larger mass has a tendency of resisting movement unless more force is exerted on it. 7. A 3kg piece of iron has more mass and a 2kg fluffy pillow has more volume. The piece of iron has more weight (3 kg) as compared to the pillow (2 kg), this make the iron to have more mass since mass = weight / gravitational force considering gravitational force is constant. The 2kg fluffy pillow has ...
