Introduction

Living in the modern world with well-developed technologies and complicated relations, it is important for people to mention all innovations and follow the principles, which may simplify their lives. Taking all of it into account, people, who deal with marketing, pay a lot of attention towards the abidance by corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies. They follow those policies at the time of building a brand image of any enterprise. There are some guidelines for proper structuring of the brand in order for it to develop correctly. This paper is to show the relation between CSR policies existing and their ...

“The day is coming when telegraph wires will be laid on to houses just like water or gas -- and friends will converse with each other without leaving home." (Alexander Graham Bell in a letter to his father in 1876; taken from PBS.org) Alexander Graham Bell was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland and had two more brothers that both died of tuberculosis (Library of Congress), Melville James Bell, who was older than Alexander, and Edward Charles Bell, who was the youngest in the family (Bell Homestead). His father, Alexander Melville Bell, as well as his grandfather ...

Alexander Graham Bell led a successful life as a teacher, a scientist and also an inventor. He dedicated his life to ensure that mankind lived better and comfortable life. He is, however, known around the world for having invented the first telephone yet he also made other inventions including having greatly assisted in improving the methods and practices of educating the deaf (Osborne 1). Bell’s invention of the telephone was not a coincidence. He had spent years driven to come up with a way to teach the deaf to talk. His grandfather, Alexander Bell, also made progress and great achievements in treating ...

Waste Management

Introduction Dealing with waste has become an increasing concern nowadays, since it affects people’s life quality by impacting the health, it affects the aesthetics, it jeopardizes the ecosystems and in general, it negatively impacts the environmental sustainability. Domestic waste (generated by individuals) and commercial and industrial waste represent a quotidian aspect that authorities are aiming to handle, either through applying laws and guidelines for maintaining healthy and clean cities and villages, either by applying various technologies for actually managing the waste disposals. And the processes and technologies used to manage the various types of waste differ depending on ...

Literature Review

Several methods exist that are used to identify and characterize fractures (Burnett, 2011). Seismic method is the most effective method of identifying aligned fracture sets. Aligned fracture sets render a rock seismically anisotropic; this implies that the velocities of seismic waves moving through the rock will depend on their direction of propagation (Verdon & Kendall, 2010). The way through which seismic anisotropy manifests itself includes azimuthal variation in reflection amplitudes (Hall & Kendall, 2000). Fromme (2011) investigated the scattering directivity of the A0 Lamb wave mode at through-thickness defects in aluminum plate from FE simulations (Zhou, Li, Mao, Mevel & Ou, 2013). There ...

Cybercrime is an increasingly important area of criminology. It is both interesting and relevant in a world which is becoming more reliant on the use of the internet. The Department of Justice classifies cybercrime in three main ways. Firstly, computer crime can be attacking other people’s computers, such as spreading viruses. The second way is by using the computer as a means to other types of crime. Thirdly, cybercrime can be committed by using the computer as an accessory to store illegal information (Cyber Citizenship, 2012). Cybercrime is becoming a progressively significant realm of criminology as increasing numbers of ...
