Essays on Offset

The Practical Op-Amp chapter provides information on the practical operational amplifier (op-amp) and an ideal op-amp. The op-amps are single-ended and have a differential input in which information is transmitted electrically on differential pairs. The op-amps can produce dc output offset voltage and this result is caused by the limited values of the input offset voltage, input offset current and input bias current in the op-amps. With the passing of time the values of input offset voltage and input bias current keeps changing. Due to this drawback it is recommended to calibrate the op-amp regularly and use a smaller op-amp that ...

International Markets Engagement

Businesses can use different methods of entry to access international markets. A firm interested in internationalization faces tough decision regarding the choice of the best entry mode. Generally, the method of entry is determined by issues relating to ownership and control, target market location, as well as internalization advantages (Sanjeev & Sridhar, 1992). One method is the standalone entry. It is also known as the foreign direct investment. This is implemented by companies that perceive themselves as being adequate in terms of capability to take capital risks and enter the markets on their own. Under Joint Ventures, companies enter a ...

A lot of focus is being made on corporations that play or have played roles in recognition of the benefits of using the environment sustainably. As well, a good number of corporations have embraced the need and benefits associated with issues of corporate social responsibility. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) simply constitutes the notion that company can basically have influence on ...

Introduction to Operations Management

Introduction Any self-sustaining organization, whether public or private that endeavors to generate enough revenue in order to offset the cost of operations and make profit must set specific objectives for its operations. Operations performance managers utilize different performance objectives in order to track and monitor the performance of their respective organizations. It is upon the manager to decide whether the priorities of the organization demand a balanced approached towards the performance objectives or a focused approach where the operations manager focuses on one of the five performance objectives (Kachru, 2007, pg.271). Besides the priorities of the organization, this decision ...

Abstract

In our increasingly dependent age, older technologies are slowly but surely being phased out. We stand to forget their use, their evolution as well as their contribution to our own evolution as mankind. One such technology is the printing press. To move forward, we must pause to reflect on the past, appreciate it and ultimately learn from it. The printing press has evolved from a simple, rudimentary letter press in China to the revolutionary Gutenberg’s press that made the Bible the most published book of that time to the modern technology of offset lithography. It has played a fundamental role ...

Lab reports on Quadrature amplitude modulation and Demodulation

Introduction Quadrature amplitude modulated is an electro-magnetic wave signal that employs two Quadrature signal carriers cos 2pfct, sin 2pfct, of which each of the signal carriers are modulated by an independent sequence of information bits. The transmitted signal assumes a wave form of this nature.

the values Amc and Amg are the two sets of amplitude that need to modulated. QAM can be viewed as a form of combined amplitude digital phase modulation and digital amplitude. The resultant transmitted QAM signal is a cosine wave which is expressed as shown below. umn(t) = AmgT (t) cos(2pfct + øn); m = ...

Healthcare

Background While the right to life, happiness and the pursuit of liberty are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, the concept of a ‘right to health’ has proven evocative and also divisive in the national discourse over the past three centuries. A mix of pragmatism, opportunism and pressure from special action groups has dogged the issue. A yellow fever epidemic in 1793 forced the American government to evacuate from Philadelphia. In response, George Washington came up with the first federal health law, proposing powers for the Executive to convene the government outside the capital in the event of ...

1) Liquidity Measurement Ratios

Current Ratio

The current ratio is also known as the working capital ratio. It shows the proportion or the extent to which the current liabilities of a company can be offset by the current assets. A ratio of 2 is realistic and acceptable since it means that the company is able to offset the current liabilities twice using the current assets. Companies may seek to maintain a ratio of 1 but it is always advisable to maintain the ration at two to cushion the firm against unforeseen contingencies. Current ratio must be analyzed as a trend where an increasing ratio ...

GAAP and IFRS have some inherent differences in their approach towards valuation. One of the differences is seen in the valuation of intangible assets (Porter & Norton, 2011). Under the GAAP, intangible assets are valued at fair value. Unlike the GAAP, the IFRS recognizes the assets which will have future economic benefits as well as measured reliability. The other difference is seen in the valuation of inventory costs (Porter & Norton, 2011). The IFRS does not allow the Last-in, First-out (LIFO) approach towards the account of the costs associated with inventory. The GAAP allows the use of the First-in, First-out (FIFO) ...

Flags

Three Flags is an illustration of how Johns regularly utilized pictures and procedures from famous mass society, things like promoting, comic books, and as Johns once said, "Things the brain knows" (Orton 156). Like the American banner. His work appeared to be mostly a response to Abstract Expressionism, an artisanship development of the time whose depictions had no conspicuous substance all. Everybody could perceive the American banners. Anyhow, their significance could be generally as tricky as an Abstract Expressionist painting. Case in point, everybody who takes a gander at a painting of the American banner will discover their own particular significance, contingent ...

ABSTRACT

In the vibrating beam experiment, an aluminum cantilever beam was made to vibrate. An accelerometer transducer was used to convert the mechanical vibrations into a signal that was fed into an oscilloscope via a power supply. The oscilloscope mapped the signal into a sine curve and displayed it on the screen. The oscillations’ decay curve was studied and the beam’s damping ratio was determined. The decay curve’s logarithmic decrement was used to determine the beam’s damping ratio and its natural frequency. The beam’s damping ratio was observed to be underdamped at a damping ratio of 0.0066.

Literature Review

Tourism’s basic purpose is to visit other places, cultures, traditions and expand one’s experience of the world. That is why Murphy (2013) argued that tourism is natural renewable resource industry in which visitors visit only to admire. However, tourism is so popular that this industry is producing 5% of the world GDP currently (“United Nations Environment Programme,” 2014). Hence, with the growing amount of money in tourism, the tourism industry is becoming recklessly extravagant when it comes to exploiting resources and harming the planet. But in tourism, sustainability is important to avoid noxious effects on people, environment ...

Coal Mining: Boon or Bane?

Energy is one of the determining factors in assessing the progress of a nation. In the absence of energy, people can not perform their daily activities. Trade and industries are put into a halt. Energy comes from renewable and nonrenewable resources. Renewable resources are those that can be replenished such as wind, solar energy, and hydro while non-renewable resources are finite—the likes of coal and fossil fuels. Thus, every nation explores all potential sources of energy. Because of the drawbacks of renewable energy resources (CIAB, 7), humans still resort to a more stable source of energy—coal.

Abstract

Caffeine is a widely-used drug that modifies the psychological condition of the consumers. At high doses, it causes various caffeine-related symptoms such as agitation, as well as the restless legs syndrome. Since caffeine is a habit forming drug, it allows the development of tolerance and withdrawal symptoms. It also alters sleep patterns in accordance with the consumed daily caffeine dose. Although its arousal of the central nervous system can induce pleasant effects at relatively lower doses, caffeine can impair concentration and attention at increased doses. The present study, therefore, examines the various adverse effects of consuming caffeine at high doses. The ...

There are a number of benefits to implementing a year-round school calendar, particularly through high school. For younger children, the importance of having a year-round calendar comes in their retention of knowledge. A three-month summer break is devastating for most children in terms of recall; teachers must spend most of the beginning of the next year reviewing the information that students were supposed to have learned previously. This wastes time, and puts students whose families did not review any academic concepts with them over the summer at a distinct disadvantage (Scholastic.com). The more this gap widens between children who have reviewed material and ...
