Abstract In this research paper we would be discussing the basic functionality as well as the concept of search engine analysis. An engine can be considered as a mechanical device which is supposed to turn out some output from a given input. When we talk of an engine, we need to understand that the basic functionality of an engine is based upon the input output function, wherein the input is in the form of fuel source and the output is in the form of kinetic energy. The fuel source in an engine is also known as a prime mover and is considered to be the most effective means of running an engine. An engine consists of a power source, which in turn is a machine which generates kinetic energy from other variants of energy. Some of these variants include electricity, the usual flow of hydraulic fuel and compressed air. Introduction Whenever we set about explaining the basic cycle of an engine, we need to try and symbolize it with the functionality of an automobile. A vehicle has a starter motor, which is needed to start the vehicle and it also contains an additional motor, which in turn is necessitated to drive the pumps. In this situation, the pumps are indicated through the means of power steering and the fuel inoculation system. Here, the power plant, which has the ability to drive the engine, is denoted by the engine. While discussing the life cycle of an engine, we also need to understand that the term “motor” was initially used to distinguish those engines which were originally powered by the internal combustion engine with those that were powered by the earlier engines, such as the steam engines. While describing engines, the petrol engine is denoted by the term internal combustion engine whereas a steam roller or a motor roller is denoted by the steam engine. Engines are also utilized for military functions and they are ideally used as blockade engines, battering rams, large catapults and trebuchets. An engine was originally a mechanical device that was used to convert force into motion (Anonymous, 2000). Catapults are military machines which are also referred to as siege engines. If we go into the basics, then the word engine has been derived from the French word, engine. Some are of the belief that it is derived from the “Latin” word, “ingenious”. During the industrial revolution, most devices that were used were termed as engine, and hence, the name came into prominence. Devises that perform mechanical work are considered to be engines. The work here is supplied through the means of torque, which is also used for operating machinery, pump water, extract natural gas and generate electricity (Anonymous (a), 2004) Engines are also made up of propulsion systems, which are mainly used in the context of air-breathing engines. As compared to a rocket, an air breathing engine makes use
Introduction Sabherwal and Becerra-Fernandez (2009) defined business intelligence as a system that avails business decision makers with relevant business information and knowledge by levering a variety of data sources as well as structured and unstructured information. Business intelligence systems refer to software/ hardware systems that enable the end users to obtain business intelligence by analyzing vast amounts of base data emanating from diverse business perspectives (Masunaga & Katayama, 1998). It centers on a full understanding of information and knowledge that is derived from data. The technological infrastructure of BI systems incorporates data warehouses technology which consolidates data, multi dimensional data bases for organizing base data and online analytical processing technology for analyzing multi dimensional data bases (Masunaga & Katayama, 1998). Examples of business intelligence systems include knowledge management systems, decision support systems, analytical processing systems, and executive information systems. Business intelligence software such as Oracle’s Business Intelligence Systems (BIS) and Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM) are often utilized by the top management in corporate planning and decision making. Business intelligence incorporates tools which are developed by business intelligence vendors and solutions which are deployed within the organization. Business intelligence vendors write software programs and develop BI technology and hence play a major role in the implementation of corporate business intelligence projects. Examples of business intelligence vendors include SAS Institute, IBM, Data Mind, Integral solutions, HNC software, Osoft, Oracle, Intelligence ware, and Microsoft among others. An organization seeking the best intelligence vendors in the market should evaluate other business intelligence organizations on the bases of their BI vendors and should also seek the opinion of other successful BI enabled companies Advantages of business intelligence systems In the modern business setting, the importance of business intelligence solutions continues to be highly emphasized. Oracle Business Intelligence systems are internet designed hence users can easily access corporate information in a secure environment from anywhere in the world using the standard web browser (Thierauf, 2001). In addition, Oracle BI systems address a wide range of user requirements from information publishing to advanced data analysis whic
The big city has always meant strong possibilities. The development of industry, art, and culture also influenced the development of cities. Great number of entertainments and possibilities always attract people from small towns or villages. Very often, being rather naive, they think that the city will greet them and suggest a great number of possibilities. However, the world of a big city turns out to be very cruel, with a severe rivalry, where no one is happy that some new people come in order to deprive its inhabitants of their chances. That is why very often, people from villages become broken and lost. In the best case, they return home empty-handed. In the worst case, they get lost in a city, and their names become forgotten. Being so tragic, this issue could not but interest some writers who tried to investigate this question and devote their works to this topic. The motif of a provincial, which comes to conquer a big city, has always been very popular among writers of different ages. Theodore Dreiser is one of these writers. Being known for his ability to create the real image of a person who seeks better fate, Dreiser also touched the issue of a provincial in a big city. His work, Sister Carrie , can be taken as a great example of the literature of this sort. The main character of this story is Caroline Member. She was born in Wisconsin. However, this city was too rural and small for her ambitious person, that is why she decided to move to Chicago, where her sister Minnie lived. Full of naive expectations and having her own image of life in a big city, she catches a train. However, one very important meeting should be mentioned as it influenced Carolines life greatly. While going to Chicago, she meets Charles Drouet, who is a salesman. He likes her very much, though she disappears. Having arrived at her sisters place, the main character starts to realize that everything is not so simple as she imagined. Her relatives are not so happy to see her, as it is very difficult to earn money. Minnie is a middle-aged and disillusioned woman. She is a housewife, while her husband is a simple worker who has a very difficult and low paid job. That is why the necessity of earning money becomes obvious to Caroline. All her life in the city can be divided into two periods. The first one can be called the period of a constant search. Understanding that she cannot live at her elder sisters account, she starts working. She runs a machine in a shoe factory. However, from Carries phrase, “it’s pretty hard. I don’t like it” (Dreiser) readers can understand that it is not that type of work she expected. Nevertheless, her sufferings end soon as she falls ill and loses job. The life in the city turns out to be a complete disappointment to her, and she is ready to give up as she does not want to be a burden for her sister. However, Drouet finds her. Still being in love with her, he suggests her money and a place to live. He does not attract Carrie, though she accepts his favors as she wan
The Aurora Textile Company was incepted at the start of the 1900. Its main purpose was to manufacture textile products for both the local and international markets. Although the company recorded an impressive performance in the United States for a long time, there was need to change its production strategy in order to meet the market demand. The company has been a premier textile factory in the domestic market for several decades. Due to the desire to expand its operations, the company is contemplating to invest in a textile machine that can boost the slumping financial performance. Hence, it is crucial for the management of the company to tread cautiously before concluding the investment decision. It is evident that the Aurora Textiles has an uncertain future. Therefore, any austerity measures taken should be weighed carefully. Judging from the current operational needs of the company, the best strategy that can revamp the profitability of the firm is investment in the Zinser 351 machine. The latter equipment will deliver premium and competitive textile products to the clients. The machine will equally expedite the process of production according to market demand. From the analyses; it is evident that a Net Present Value (NPV) of $6,474,082.14 million will be generated by the equipment. This volume of production will be realized within a span of 5.6 years. The discounted payback will enable the company to recover from the present financial stress. Therefore, the Aurora Textiles should embark on the proposed project as soon as possible so that the trust of the shareholders can be restored. A dying or troubled firm such as the Aurora Textiles can only be brought back to profitability by adopting an NPV decision rule.
Introduction The purpose of this report is to show how to use industrial/organizational psychology (I/O) to make recommendations for improving operations in a factory. It refers to Woody’s Veneer Factory. The report shows how to reduce costs, enhance production and spur the factory to profitability. Organizations have used I/O psychology to develop different kinds of operation functions in their units. In most cases, when organizations have challenges with employee relationships and operations, productivity will decline. In such circumstances, the I/O psychology focuses on addressing failures in the system and poor work habits. The I/O psychology offers concepts, which are useful for addressing group and team concepts, performance improvement and workforce diversity management. In addition, it provides leadership concepts, which are critical in enhancing employee relationship between executives and their juniors, power influences and their impacts on in the organization and the distinction between management and leadership. The issues covered in this report will resolve challenges at Woody’s Veneer Factory. Different group and team concepts for improving performance and diversity of employees in the factory Woody’s Veneer Factory should adopt organizational development (OD) to enhance the relationship among its employees. The OD will ensure planned, methodica
The Hardy-Weinberg principle (HWP) illustrates how genetic equilibrium is maintained between alleles and genotypes in a specific population. To achieve this hypothesis, there is the need to make multiple assumptions, which include the existence of large populations, lack of genetic mutation, lack of gene flow because of allele’s immigration or emigration, absence of natural selection and random mating. As a result, the allele frequency would be unaltered while the genotype frequencies attain equilibrium. Thus, in a single generation, random mating achieves equilibrium. This implies that HWP, just like a Punnett square, can be used to determine the probability of offspring’s genotypes from those of their parents (Winter, 1998). Similarly, the frequency of a particular allele can be determined based on the prevalence of the dominant and recessive alleles. This is enabled by the fact that allele frequency can be assigned probabilistic values where its sum results in a unit. An example on how to demonstrate the application of HWP to a population would involve the analysis of the mating selection. In this regard, the course of evolution in populations is altered. For randomly mating populations, individuals have equal chances of mating with individuals possessing different genotype types. In a non-random mating population, there exist higher chances of inbreeding or assortative mating (Jorjani, 1995). Assortative mating refers to the chance of individuals with similar phenotypes mating due similar ancestry. Therefore, it influences the course of evolution, which violates the HWP equilibrium. Assortative mating outcome is the change in the frequency of allele and genotypes of a population. Assortative mating leads to a high likelihood of similar genotypes breeding with other individuals of a similar genotype. As a result, this will lead to a rise in homozygosis. This is influenced by the disequilibrium in the genetic phase. Consequently, the gametes will be similar through the rise in homozygote’s gametic frequency. Secondly, assortative mating increase the general population distinction due to similar genotypes exhibited by individuals retained under their line of ancestry. This can be illustrated by the fact that homozygote of the overall population would be widening due to the variation in the group. In this regard, the assortative mating influences the course of evolution leading to HWP interference. Many factors contributed by the assortative mating influence the HWP. These factors include the number of genes responsible for the formation of phenotypes and the extent of assortative mating. With regards to the number of genes responsible for the creation of gametes, it influences the trait that will be exhibited by the individuals in the population. For the extent of assortative mating, the degree o
Organization The organization chosen is AtlantiCare which has numerous facilities in New Jersey. The organization is one of the largest providers of healthcare in the area with more than 4,000 hardworking and skilled employees working at over 50 locations. The company’s success has earned regular awards for excellent customer service and has grown to 10 separate units within a short period due to the provision of quality healthcare. This success has come from a fully implemented Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) program started in the 90s to cope with increasing law suits against the company due to varying quality of healthcare. (AtlantiCare, 2009) Benefits of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) One of the basic philosophies behind the CQI approach is to organize the work around the healthcare service. With this philosophy the problem starts with the patient, goes to the people closest to the patient and then reaches higher management. This way when a patient has a need, the service can respond without having to go through a huge bureaucracy. The benefit of such an approach is that a team looks after a patient thus taking responsibility for quality. Previously individuals were held accountable even if they weren’t directly involved in the heath care of that patient. (Banham, 1993). Now with this approach, AtlantiCity is reaping rewards in terms of a higher return customer ratio. This means that more patients are registering at the facility hence a higher chunk of revenue is being generated. Everybody knows that reputation is a very flexible asset of an organization. If a hospital has a good reputation, more patients want to enroll its services and more skilled professionals want to join the boundaries a successful organization. This again is a sign of a continuously improving hospital. On the other hand, if the reputation falls, a completely opposite picture builds up with two-fold increase in costs. (Larson & Muller, (2002) A major problem for the healthcare facilities is the increasing number of law suits due to errors made in treating a patient. A CQI approach has cut down the cost of errors by more than 50%. This means that lower costs are being incurred in treating patients, as well as legal costs are also decreasing. Thus the hospital shows
Attitudes toward work or the workplace are important aspects that greatly determine the performance outcomes of many business organizations. Attitudes toward work or the workplace are beliefs and feelings of a worker that influence how he or she values work. Work attitudes could be viewed in two main ways. First, job attitudes could reflect global feelings about a worker’s job satisfaction. Second, job attitudes could be as a result of objective assessments of certain factors of the job such as salaries and working conditions. The readings of the course present classical examples of perspectives on work that shape organizations culture of productivity and individual worker’s prospects of growth. It is important for workers in business organizations to appreciate their jobs and aim at achieving exemplary results. The story of the three little pigs exhibits two perspectives on work. The mother of the pigs advised them that it was important for them to act in a manner that they could achieve the best things in life. However, the first and second little pigs did not build good houses that were strong enough to protect them from being eaten by a wolf. They exhibited a negative attitude toward achieving good things in life through their activities. This could be analyzed in the context of the workplace where some workers could have negative attitudes toward work and they do not show good performances. Such workers could be fired for low-quality performance outcomes. On the other hand, the third little pig that constructed a strong house could not be killed by a wolf. This could be used to reflect the performances of workers in the workplace who are characterized by positive attitudes toward work. Such workers cannot be easily fixed by the management because they help organizations to achieve their goals. This illustration is similar to those presented in the mellow yellow, lunar craft rights, and video rights resources. The perspectives on work that focus on the best attributes of work are comparable in some ways. For example, the perspectives on work could greatly determine the output of workers and organizations. If many workers have attitudes that make them work for an organization, then such an organization could have excellent performance outcomes because of the combined efforts of workers toward achieving the organization’s goals. Also, such attitudes are characterized by a large extent to which workers separate their personal lives from work lives. They dedicate their attention and energies to work when they are in the workplace and they achieve their best personal goals when they are away from the wo
Overview The business targets tourists visiting Saint Petersburg and the Clearwater beaches in Florida. Continuously ranked as America’s most beautiful beaches, the two beaches are consistently among the top tourist destinations in the United States. With a variety of tourist attraction sites, the beaches have a massive number of tourists all year round, who visit and enjoy the vast sugar-white sands, coastlines of the Mexico waters, and the tranquil Gulf breezes. Land developers have seized the opportunity to develop the land around the beaches and build beach houses, townhouses, and resorts. The houses built are ideal for families who come for family vacations as well as for individuals who come to break from their busy lives. Therefore, the essay examines the feasibility of a hospitality business that targets tourists, who rent resorts and townhouses in Florida. The Business Our business involves shopping for groceries and stocking them in fridges for the visitors so that by the time they arrive, they find them ready in their rooms. Working together with the townhouses and resorts attracts more customers to the townhouses, which equally means more business for us. Remarkably, most tourists visit Florida from around the world and not necessarily from the United States, they visit from places with different cultures and ways of life (Tang and Jang 556). Diverse cultures mean a different style in designing cities and towns. Tourists visiting from far where there are different cultures that need help in accessing the grocery stores and adjusting to the time zones. Those visiting from similar cultures require help since they arrive jet-lagged and not in a position to reach the grocery stores. By adding our work in the townhouses advertisements, the visitors get prior knowledge of our work and place orders of their required groceries in advance. Tourists then receive a list of the groceries and their expected costs matched with the actual costs. Ali and Frew state that usi
Introduction Apple Computer Inc. has been in music business for over 30 years. The company has emerged as one of the highly recognized players in computer industry. The giant computer manufacturer is mostly known for its famous apple’s iTunes online music store, iphones and ipods among other products such as laptops and desktop computers. The company has quite often endeavored to maintain its market share despite myriad of internal and external factors which have negatively affected its profitability. Factors such as stiff competition from both legal and illegal online video and audio music download services as well as competition from rival companies like Dell and Microsoft have equally downsized its operations. Furthermore, the company has not eluded the effects and threats of possible substitutes and low-priced products that tend to unfavorably compete with its products such as iPhone, apple TV and the iPod. As such, it operates in a very dynamic market where video-on-demand, mobile phone and music technology is rapidly changing thereby forcing all the players in this industry to devise very effective strategies for survival. There is no single company in the computing industry that has full control of new technology and therefore, each player in the market has to change in the same pace as technology in order to remain relevant in the market. It is imperative to note that many companies in this industry are in a state of dilemma to either invest in their traditional modeling such as computers or invest in the newer products such as iphones and ipods. External analysis Company’s profile Apple Inc. began in 1976 through a partnership between stephen Wozniak and Steve Jobs. In 1977 it was publicly known as Apples Company Inc. As a public company, it has employed thousands of employees who are skilled personnel working as highly trained human resource managers and marketers. The Company’s profile
