Essays on Peak

In the globalizing world within the new economic competitive environment, enterprises increasingly turn to outsourcing of logistic operations. Outsourcing in logistic becomes an effective business strategy, allowing transferring the field specific functions to outsourcers . This process enables the efficient usage of resources giving a chance to the company to concentrate on particular tasks and functions. Experts estimate the approximate volume of the US logistic outsourcing services around $80-90 billion . Despite an ever-increasing significance of the outsourcing operations, the strategic component of this type of business is not sufficiently researched. The scale of outsourcing operations can hardly be adequately estimated. ...

There can be three pricing models that can be applied to pricing for airline services.

The peak pricing model : A high price is charged at the peak time when the demand for the good or service is high and a moderate and low price is charged in the off peak hours .

Price Discrimination: Different prices are charged for different group of consumers .

Cross subsidization: One group of consumers pay a price higher than the cost of service another group pays a price lower than the cost of service. The first group is the subsidizing group and the other group is the subsidized group.

We choose one flight and discuss which pricing principle will be applicable for that flight.

The Monday Morning Flight from Chicago to New York: This is a case where the peak pricing principle can be applied. ...

The criminal justice system, like the federal government, is composed of three branches, namely law enforcement, courts, and corrections (Kaci, 1998). To be sure, the three branches of criminal justice also share the federal government’s separation of powers. Law enforcement, which is mainly comprised of local and state police forces including city police, county sheriffs, and state troopers, are responsible for enforcing the criminal laws, investigating criminal activity, and bringing criminal suspects to justice. The courts, which include criminal court judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys are tasked with the litigation and adjudication of a suspect’s guilt; and ...

Sustainable Tourism: the Importance of Destination Tourism Indicators

Question 1 Tourism lifecycle is a concept proposed by geographer Richard Butler in “Canadian Geographer” journal in 1980. According to Butler, any touristic destination has its own lifecycle. It starts from a moment when a place is unknown to tourists and stays aside of touristic routes. Then mostly due to a word of mouth popularity of the destinations starts growing, local residents become involved in the process of hosting guests and corresponding infrastructure appears (hotels, transport, catering etc.). At certain moment local tourism infrastructure becomes developed at maximum level, at which it can host peak number of tourists. And ...

2007 Housing Market Bubble 2007 Housing Market Bubble

Introduction

The 2007 housing crash was the worst bubble burst experience that has ever been encountered in the U.S. history, an occurrence that led to financial crisis. It is important to appreciate the fact that different factors led to the housing bubble of 2007, with some of the primary causes being the credit crunch that was caused by the housing bubble. Nathsanson & Zwick (2015) assert that irrational exuberance is among the aspects that led to the development of a ripe environment for the growth of housing bubble hence contributing to the financial ...

In today’s economic and technological climate, the world’s consumption of oil and gas far outstrips our ability to replenish our supply. At the current rate of our oil usage, I do not believe it is possible to maintain our consumption for very long, as it would require the discovery of new fields on par with Saudi Arabia’s current supplies every decade. Even if we were able to find these new supplies and deposits, there is only a finite amount of oil remaining in the world, thus necessitating the consideration of alternative fuel sources. If the developed ...

The Reasons Explaining Why Governments are involved in Tourism Development

“The thing about tourism is that the reality of a place is quite different from the mythology of it.” –Martin Parr The above quotation by Martin Parr illustrates one of the negative attributes of tourism, which is to sell a fantastic presentation of a country rather than the real aspects of it. However, it should be understood that this is done to market and brand the country as an attractive tourism product. However, tourism is not a source of income that can be relied on throughout the year by governments. This is because tourism relies on specific seasons and ...

Q1 The Australian Housing Market Report, prepared for National Australia Bank Ltd. by RP Data in November 2014, delineates the core changes that occur in the Australian housing market. Nowadays, many economists argue whether or not there is a housing bubble on the Australian housing market, because some features of it let them assume that these market conditions are quite similar to those that existed prior to the collapse of housing markets in other counties (Mercer, 2014). Such market failures, or so-called price corrections, can bear great risks for state stability and welfare due to the strong social impact ...

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing humans. Individual’s lifestyles have developed to such an extent in developed countries that people continue to drain the earth of fossil fuels used to sustain humans. The result is that global warming is happening as a result of natural but predominantly human activities that release carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Measuring the best forms of energy to counteract this depends on a number of technological, economic and societal variables. It also requires the efforts of government to use command and control along with economic incentives to the highest potential for each ...

The In-situ mid-IR spectroscopy can be considered as one of the ideal methods of monitoring bioreactors. This is as the nutrients consumption for the amino acids is monitored together with the waste products evolution for the lactates. The application of fiber-optic probes is part of the appropriate ways of turning the methods into real-time tools for monitoring (Vogel & Todaro, 2006). On the other hand, it is difficult to fully engage monitoring methods among the reactors which require sterilization while the insertion of the non-sterile probes and other monitoring devices become rather impossible (Roy, 2011). The interchangeable detachable and Remspec ...

1. What is the underlying mechanism of M.A.'s asthma? What are the three airway responses that occur during an asthma episode?

An autoimmune response to allergens from cats and plants is the underlying mechanism for the patient’s condition. These allergens, though nonpathogenic, trigger an inflammatory cascade wherein lymphocytes, eosinophils, mast cells, neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells exert their effects on the respiratory tract (Linzer 87). As an example, B lymphocytes synthesize immunoglobulin E which helps signal the release of histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandin and cytokines which are proteins that promote vasodilation and hyperactivity in mucus-producing goblet cells (Murdoch & Lloyd 27). Prostaglandin causes the smooth muscles in the airway to constrict. Along with vasodilation and increased mucus production, bronchial constriction ...

Personal transformation refers to a dynamic and uniquely individualized practice of increasing consciousness where individuals turn out to be critically knowledgeable of old, as well as new self-views, thereby choosing to integrate these opinions to a new self-definition (Campebell, 2004). Although these views might take the form of Transpersonal Psychology, Taoism, Contemplative Psychology or Confucianism, they are capable of distinctively conceiving the temperament of human existence thus transforming the individual differently (Campebell, 2004). As a result, this essay explores personal transformation through the various perspectives of Transpersonal Psychology, Taoism, Contemplative Psychology and Confucianism.

Generally a business cycle is defined as a cycle consisting of a period of declining aggregate economic activity that is followed by a period of rising economic activity. The lowest point of the contraction is called the ‘depression’ or ‘trough’ and the highest point of the expansion is called the ‘boom’ or ‘peak’. According to Abel/ Bernanke (2007) “A complete theory of business cycle must have two components. The first describes the types of shocks or disturbances that are believed to affect the economy the most. The second component is a model that describes how key macroeconomic variables, such ...

The increase of human population is a grave issue that is growing by shocking geometric progression. Each day, about two hundred thousand people die but in the contrary, about four hundred and fifty thousand others are born (Jones, Schoonbroodt & Tertilt, 2011). Indeed, this indicates that there are about two hundred and fifty thousand new people to feed each coming day. However, it is very hard to support infinite population growth on a finite planet; resources are becoming scare with each coming day. In this regard, a debate has come up, which rotates around two basic questions: whether an increased population is bad ...

Asthma and allergic reactions result in inflamed and swollen lung airways. Asthma is of two types, atopic and non-atopic. The asthma symptoms include excessive production of mucus, coughing, tightness in chest, wheezing, and difficulty in breathing. The triggers for atopic asthma are allergens and the hyper-responsiveness of IgE immunoglobulin. Genetic factors are involved in non-atopic asthma that relies on the propensity of developing asthma and hypersensitivity of airways. Epithelial cytokines, macrophage, eosinophils, and T cells collectively influence the fibroblast production resulting in muscle mutagenesis and bronchial ...
