Reverse Logistics 1. Reverse Logistics vs. Normal Logistics Reverse logistics has been perceived predominantly as the process of product recycling. However, better and innovative perceptions concerning reverse logistics are evolving with the passage of time. CLM (Council of Logistics Management) defines reverse logistics as follows: “The process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, cost effective flow of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goods and related information from the point of consumption to the point of origin for the purpose of recapturing value or proper disposal”. Reverse logistics is completely ...

Factors affecting logistics in international borders

Companies working across international borders have many things to take into account before embarking on such a move. Some of the factors affecting logistics across international borders include financial matters like exchange rates that play a key role in logistics. These include factors like suppliers, transport means and in other cases inventories that directly influence variables in logistics. Culture is also an important factor to take into consideration if any business hopes to make it in international business. Different countries have different cultures and one gesture from one person may be gross to the locals. It is therefore, important to ...

Telomerase also known as telomere terminal transferase is a type enzyme in all vertebrates that extends Die ribonucleic acid sequence by repeating TTAGGG to the Die ribonucleic acid terminal strands in the region known as the telomere. It is found in adult germ cells, fetal tissues, and tumor cells. Telomere is the region of repeated nucleotide, which is made up of non-coding Die ribonucleic acid material. The region prevents loss of vital Die ribonucleic acid from chromosome terminals. This results to only a hundred to two hundred nucleotides being lost each interval the chromosome is duplicates, thus no damage is caused ...

Reverse discrimination is defined as showing favour to the minority group in a particular setting. This is considered rather ironical as discrimination is usually shown to the minority group. Despite its negative implications, reverse discrimination has become common especially in the work place. There are various reasons for its wide use the main one being taking affirmative action on the minority group. Organisations usually introduce certain tactics to enhance performance as well as instilling discipline in the work place. Even though this strategy boosts the morale of the minority group, it demoralizes the majority who may in turn decide to ...

Abstract

Parents have always wished to control the behavior of their children without having to upset these young ones. This paper examines employing the reverse psychology technique as a best technique in controlling behavior in children. Children also have their desires, which they would wish to carry. Contrary to the expectations of the children, parents would at times use techniques to prevent them from executing the things they desire most. The paper examines the behavior of a three-year-old kid, who neither accepts the provided meal nor wishes to take his routine nighttime shower. However, after using the reverse psychology on this child, ...

Analysis of Culture Cell KU812F with Three Protocols

Abstract Protein analysis for cancer cell research has been found to be extremely reliable. The culture cell KU812F (chronicle myeloid leukemia cell line) was used for this laboratory. Globin gene switching was observed by evaluating the gene expression in the cells. Gene expression and protein folding were provoked. Gene expression is the process of transcribing DNA to cDNA and then used qPCR to study gene expression. cDNA was translated into mRNA which in turn is translated into a protein. mRNA concentration was analyzed. The three protocols were Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), Enzyme-Linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA), and ...

The sections of events were divided into developmental and global events. Moreover, the Reverse course is directly linked to the excitation and increase of political tension in Japan and ...

- Introduction With water being an essential component necessary to many aspects of domestic life, it also represents an integral component in many industries. Due to water’s inherent solvent properties, water extracted directly form freshwater sources such as lakes, rivers, and aquifers are often times full of absorbed minerals and pollutants unfit for human consumption. Due to this, a variety of methods have been implemented in order to purify water from surface and sub-surface sources. However, the world’s water sources vary greatly in purity to begin with, which results in some methods being much more labor intensive ...

Thermodynamics of Refrigeration

In the olden days winter was the best time of the year for cold drinks, sorbets and ice creams because ice was readily available. Without a thorough understanding of thermodynamics our communities might have to be brought their ice in an ice wagon just like in the olden days. The laws of thermodynamics were developed by scientists and used when processes of the Industrial Revolution were developed. The physics of heat transfer are applied in order to transfer heat away from the portion of a refrigerator or air conditioning that needs to continually cool the air. Now the ...

A reverse mortgage, also called a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or HECM enables people to withdraw some of the equity in their homes to use to supplement Social Security, meet medical expenses, made home improvement and other expenses. It allows people to convert part of their home’s equity into cash without selling the house and having to move. The equity is the appraised value of the house less the existing loans. A reverse mortgage looks at the equity, age of the youngest borrower and the current interest rates to determine how much can be borrowed and over what ...

Introduction

Gene expression is the process through which the information that has been encorded in the gene is firstly converted into messenger RNA and then finally to a protein. The study of gene expression is critical especially to the biological student and more so to one who would like to study biology related course like microbiology in future. Therefore, it is important to note that we study gene expression in order to determine how the genes and the proteins which they encode functions in the intact organism. Zhang (2006), Another reason why we study gene expression is in order to ...

A large part of the processes related to the reverse logistics takes place in warehouses. Warehousing processes, related to reverse logistics can be categorised into goods receipt, inspection, sorting, stock keeping and transportation. Warehouses support returns management, remanufacturing, remarketing, recycling and disposal.

Return management is responsible for the recalls and return of products, which have not been sold. Remanufacturing is commonly done in the warehouse, where the product is repaired or separated into component parts after the end of its useful life, followed by further sale at a lower price. Remanufacturing is common in automotive and electronics industry. Remarketing deals ...

Introduction

Interest rate, especially the repo and reverse repo rate set by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have a profound effect on the value of real estate like any other investment vehicle. Because of great influence of the interest rate on an individual’s ability to purchase houses by increasing or decreasing the cost of the total mortgage amount, many people assume that interest is the only factor in real estate valuation. However, this assumption is not true. Interest rate definitely plays a big role in determining the housing prices, but it is not the only factor influencing the price of a ...

Analysis of tradeoff

In response to the need for an Electrocardiogram (ECG) machine suited for the Indian rural populace, General Electric (GE) Healthcare India developed the MAC series of ECGs with varying tradeoffs compared to each other and to the standard High-end ECG. The High-end standard had a high price at $5000 and therefore rendering them unaffordable to use in poor rural areas. The most radical innovation was the MAC 400, which retailed at $800 (Govindarajan and Trimble 149). Though small, cheap, easy to use and low in power consumption it lacked some features. It lacked a memory card and patient examination results had ...

INTRODUCTION

Baghouse filters are fabric filter units consisting of one or more isolated sections containing an array of fabric bags (Vatavuk, 1998). Shapes of these bags range from round, flat, tube-shaped, to pleated cartridges. In theory, gas containing high particulate matter level passes through the fabric bag surface. The particulate matter is retained while the cleaned gas is either recycled to the process or vented off the exhaust. This paper attempts to discuss the different concepts behind baghouse filters in relation to environmental engineering. Specifically, this paper discusses (a) particle pollution, (b) baghouse filter principle, (c) filter media selection, (d) types of ...

Introduction

Trichomonas gallinae causes avian trichomoniasis infection, which is often a lethal disease. The parasite is considered to primarily affect columbiform birds like pigeons and doves, but can affect other wild and domestic birds as well (Stabler, 1954). Diagnosis of the infection can be reliably done by collecting and studying material from the bird’s mouth and crop.

I carefully collected oropharyngeal swabs from the oral cavities of hunter-killed Woodpigeons in eight areas of Norfolk and one area of Suffolk counties in the three months’ time period between April and June. Using sterile cotton swabs, I collected crop swabs from the ...

Introduction

The emergence of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays was much of a relief in the medical field especially given the fact that this model offers the most accurate way in the process of determining false-negative outcomes (Burggraf & Olgemoller, 2004).This ideology also finds support in the works of Nolte (2004) who asserts that, following the discovery of PCR and its application in a clinical setting, it has become possible to use nucleic acid amplification methods as transitions from research to clinical laboratories. This makes it possible to have a wide array of application in addressing issues relating to genetics, pharmacology, oncology ...

The Role of MicroRNA in Tumorigenesis: Article Summaries

In the article “Identification of Small Molecules That Suppress MicroRNA Function and Reverse Tumorigenesis,” Watashi, Yeung, Starost, Hosmane, and Jeang (2010) explain their cell-based model of microRNA (miRNA) related tumorigenesis that was used to observe the influence of two compounds that suppress miRNA pathways and potentially reverse tumorigenesis. While screening 530 compounds, the authors have found that polylysine (PLL) and trypaflavine (TPF) are relatively non-cytotoxic compounds that suppress miRNA activity. Watashi et al. (2010) have found that it could be possible to reverse tumorigenesis with those two compounds because they act as inhibitors for the miRNA-mediated silencing function. The ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus, a main cause of worldwide AIDs, belongs to the Lentivirus genus of Retroviridae family. Pathogen causes chronic type of symptoms, taking a long time of latency it constantly keeps replicating inside human body. HIV is categorised into two types, HIV-1 and HIV-2. The genome of this retrovirus consists of two single-stranded RNA molecules. Though, both are involved in AIDS, HIV-2 seemed less virulent and demonstrated more frequent connections with the disease of central nervous system (Fanales-Belasio et al. 5). Like other retroviruses, the genes located on HIV chromosome are gag, pol, env. The functions of gag, pol ...

Human interventions in stopping various occurrences in the marine environment are common; in fact, humans have been reusing to reverse as many problems in the environment as possible. Some professionals argue that, “No matter what actions are taken in the future, these problems will persist because they’re natural occurrences and are not related to human intervention.” One wonders whether this statement is true as it suggests that human actions are natural in the environment and, therefore, any attempts to control then are acts in futility. I believe that the human interventions are increasing the depletion of the ...

Question One

The labor laws outlaw employee discrimination of any nature. It is illegal to practice any form of workplace discrimination. The action by the employer would be deemed unlawful. It can be explained by the theory of affirmative action. The Act outlawed any form of discrimination against any employees and job applicants because of sex. The employers should therefore not make any employment decisions on stereotypical and assumptive attitude. Presuming the ability, personalities, or the productivity of potential employees, on account of their sex is illegal. The employer can be sued for violating the law. The principle of equality ...

Introduction

Issues of racism have shaped the American history for quite a long time. For a considerable period now, African-Americans and other minority groups have been the recipients of harsh and discriminatory treatment. Black Americans and colored people have experienced racial profiling in several instances or areas including enforcement of law. In fact, despite some legislations discriminating racial profiling or creating reasoned frameworks for a balanced community, racism still has a space in the current society. Racial profiling refers to the usage of a person’s race or culture by law enforcement workforces as a fundamental factor in determining whether to engross in application. Racial profiling ...

- If K65R and D113E are conserved mutations, what type of mutations are Q151M and Q151N. They are non-conserved is not the correct answer. K65R and D113E being conserved mutations implies that even after undergoing mutations they retain the original properties. There functionality remains almost the same. On the other hand, Q151M and Q151N, mutations will result in a change of their initial properties or additional functions may be gained in the process of mutation. - The K65A RT mutant had a reduction in RT activity. Explain the reasoning behind this phenotype In the cell, the presence of ...

Affirmative action, reverse discrimination, and comparable worth are some of the concepts that many organizations employ to remedy discrimination when hiring the minorities and women. These concepts are different, and they relate differently to the problem of discrimination in the workplace, especially during hiring processes. In my view, these concepts of affirmative action, reverse discrimination, and comparable worth are appropriate forms of remedy in the workplace for various reasons. Firstly, affirmative action policies enable organizations or institutions to engage actively in efforts to enhance and improve the opportunities of historically excluded groups such as the minorities and women ...

Parents all over the world expect their child to do exactly what their told to do, and this is practically hammered into every child’s head from the time they are able to understand what it means. However, there have come times where children have questioned their obedience to their parent’s authority and most parents will make it known that defiance of their authority is a big no-no; consequences awaited those who disobeyed. Most parents would argue that a child should be seen and not heard, meaning that a child should only be told to speak when spoken to and that ...

The movie, Devil’s Playground, provides a broad perspective over which a number of issues can be drawn. Some teenagers from the Amish community are allowed to deviate from the normal living standards to pursue other lifestyles (Walker, 1). When they finally get to discard their previous lifestyles, they begin to do the things they previously thought were not their preserve. They drive cars, do drugs and to some extent, they are engaged with driving cars. Life changes completely for the teenagers and the few people who have been allowed to move to another community (Walker, 1). An interesting phenomenon ensues ...

Introduction

In the United States, the Federal Reserve System is charged with regulating the country’s monetary policy. The system was implemented after leaders noted the deficiencies in the previous national banking system. The previous system had a currency that was inelastic and there were liquidity problems in the economy. There were a lot of financial panics in the economy caused by the inefficiencies in the system. A republican representative proposed the creation of a centralised banking system that would operate with a minimum level of government involvement. The Federal Reserve System was instituted in 1913. The system was able to solve three ...

The concept of ‘Reverse discrimination’ has been a contentious form of discrimination alongside dominating group members or the majority in the society. Mostly, the members discriminated against are the marginalized in the society. Speaking of the groups, the term may be taken to comprise of the race, gender and the ethnicity among others. The concept of ‘reverse discrimination’ therefore intends to eradicate the marginalized group that is already under this bracket of discrimination. The concept may also be used to accentuate on the discrimination intrinsic in the affirmative action programmes. As Certo (2009) writes in part: the phenomenon was used ...

Introduction

Available literature on obesity suggests that the prevalence of obesity, a condition that result from positive energy balance, is on the rise thereby posing a serious threat on public health due its relation to chronic diseases in addition, to causing premature deaths. Obesity normally result from a situation in which the energy supplied to the body is far much higher that the amount of energy that the body spends in carrying out various physical activities. With the recent severe rise in the total number of obese school children, there has been recorded a dramatic flawing in the academic performance of obese children, therefore, ...

HIV VIRUS

The HIV virus is the causative agent of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). It usually infects the CD4 + T Helper cell by binding to the cell membrane, this is then followed by membrane fusion; a process that allows the virus to release viral particles into the host cell. Once infected, the T-Helper cell turns into a HIV replicating cell since the viral RNA is converted into DNA by reverse transcriptase a process facilitated by the viral proteins [ CITATION bio \l 1033 ]. The double stranded viral DNA is then transported to the nucleus where it is fused with the normal host DNA by ...

Fair Value Accounting involves the recognition of changes in fair value as losses and gains on the income statement and reporting assets and liabilities on the statement of financial position at fair value. It goal is to approximate the best it could the prices at which an orderly transaction could occur given the parties’ current position. Thus, it is expected that firms must incorporate updated and relevant information on discount rates and future cash flows in the measurement of their fair values. Under fair value accounting, losses are reported when the fair values of the liabilities increase and assets ...

The three main mechanisms for treating juveniles as adults

The recent past has experienced an immense increase in juvenile delinquencies across various settings. In dealing with juvenile delinquency cases, the criminal justice systems across various states have devised different mechanism for treating juvenile delinquents as adults. The first mechanism is the waiver mechanism whereby the decision to treat a juveniles as adults are left to the Juvenile courts in any given State. Waiver provisions differ based on their flexibility in allowing juvenile courts to make such decisions (Hile 2). Many at times, such decisions are based on presumptions and discretions whereas in other cases they are mandatory, depending on ...

- Discrimination - Is discrimination still a major issue in the work place in this day and age?

According to the internet resource WiseGeek (2013), the word “Discrimination” is defined as treating a person in a less favourable manner based on specific characteristics of a person. Under the laws of the United States of America, the term “discrimination” is defined as “the act of denying rights, benefits, justice, equitable treatment, or access to facilities available to all others, to an individual or group of people because of their race, age, gender, handicap or other defining characteristic” (lawdictionary.com, 2013).

Incorporate customer service and the supply chaincustomer service issues must be responded to if the supply chain has to function efficiently and at a high efficiency. It avoids disruptions in the supply chain because customers directly influence demand. Consequently, customer service should be seen as a constituent of the supply chain and managers must allocate due importance to it. Just like within the supply chain, customer service should be prophylactic, not irritable (Langevin, 2005). A service-oriented architecture integrates business service mechanisms to balance demand and supply and augment inventory levels and customer service. Integrating this with cooperative implementation can help to ...

This treated water is then used for extensive irrigation purposes, landscape irrigation, toilet flushing, industrial purposes and replenishing ground water. All water on Earth is recycled, but “recycled water” or “reclaimed water” means the wastewater, which is sent from homes and industries through pipelines to treatment plants. The process of treating wastewater or gray water is called Water Recycling. Sometimes recycled water is used to benefit ecosystem and improve ...

Compare 3 UML Modeling Tools

Introduction The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a visual language used for constructing, specifying and documenting artifacts of software-intensive systems (Baar, 32; Gollola & Cris, 46). Software designs that are difficult to describe in text alone can be conveyed through diagrams using UML. The modeling provides the benefits of validation, clear communication and visualization (Hiremath 447; Huang, 68). Examples of UML modeling case tools include ArgoUML, Astah, casecomplete, Artisan Studio among many others. We should use UML case modeling tools because of the following reasons; UML is the most commonly standard notation for software design and many people designers are ...

In most of the developed world, women have achieved higher levels of educational attainment than men have. However, women still have not caught up to their male counterparts in terms of access to the top corporate jobs (Villeval 544). While discrimination most certainly plays a role in this lag, there is also research showing that, on the whole, women lack the desire for competition that seems to drive many men. Balafoutas and Suter have demonstrated that affirmative action policies can boost women's willingness to engage in competition without harming the chances that men with the requisite skills have to succeed. ...
