...of three-dimensional turbulent flow and heat transfer was performed in four types of rotating channels. The first type is a rotating rectangular channel with V-shaped ribs. The channel aspect ratio (AR) is 4:1, the rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio (e/Dh) is 0.078 and the rib pitch-to-height ratio (P/e) is 10. The rotation number and inlet coolant-to-wall density ratio were varied from 0.0 to 0.28 and from 0.122 to 0.40, respectively, while the Reynolds number was varied from 10,000 to 500,000. Three channel orientations (90 degrees, −135 degrees, and 135 degrees from the rotation direction) were also investigated. The second type is a rotating rectangular channel with staggered arrays of pinfins. The channel aspect ratio (AR) is 4:1, the pin length-to-diameter ratio is 2.0, and the pin spacing-to-diameter ratio is 2.0 in both the stream-wise and span-wise directions. The rotation number and inlet coolant-to-wall density ratio varied from 0.0 to 0.28 and from 0.122 to 0.20, respectively, while the Reynolds number varied from 10,000 to iv 100,000. For the rotating cases, the rectangular channel was oriented at 150 degrees with respect to the plane of rotation. In the rotating two-pass rectangular channel with 45-degree rib turbulators, three channels with different aspect ratios (AR=1:1; AR=1:2; AR=1:4) were investigated. Detailed predictions of mean velocity, mean temperature, and Nusselt number for two Reynolds numbers (Re=10,000 and Re=100,000) were carried...

...the patient that the injury took place? Answers: The first is the negligence part where the physician has created an unreasonable risk of harm to the other person that has been realized in injury. To prove that the doctor was negligent or the patient was negligent it would not be important to consider whether the defendant intended to harm the plaintiff or otherwise. This injury has multiple causes. As there are multiple negligent actors in the case none of whom alone could have caused the injury but have contributed substantially to the injury, the courts shall hold them to be liable under the what is known as the “Substantial factor” test. The substantial test relates to the fact that the act could have “substantially increased” or would have “materially increased” the risk that had been realized in the harm that took place. There is also the aspect of the breach of fiduciary duty where a person enjoys certain discretionary powers over the other person due to significant amount of practical interests of the other person. In this case it is the doctor who enjoyed discretionary powers related with the medical...

...Case Study Paper Liberty University Online A case study is a valuable tool that is often used in research. The use of a case study helps the researcher to investigate certain aspects of experiments or studies in which they are working on, which allows them to report on and to provide information that can be valuable to their research. A case study enables researchers to gain information. There are various methods that researchers use when they are performing case studies, each of these methods that are used has its own purpose. Like everything else in research there can be advantages and disadvantages when it comes to the use of a case study. What is a Case Study? According to the text Methods in Behavioral Research, a case study is “an observational method that provides a description of an individual.” (Cozby & Bates, 2012 p. 121) More specifically a case study is an detailed analysis that has been done of a specific individual, which includes that individuals complete life history, as well as any other relevant factors that concern that specific individual. This type of in depth research is performed in such a way that the researcher can see the patterns for behavior, as well as attempt to explain the root of the behavior, to explain what causes it. What Are some Reasons for Using a Case Study Approach? A case study can be conducted for a variety of reasons. The most typical reason used for performing case studies is when the individual involved has exhibited...

...The Harvard Business School Case Study on ClockyIn 2006, Gauri worked with Marketing Professor Elie Ofek on a Harvard Business School case study on our Clocky product. They explored a number of different ‘positioning’ issues surrounding the product. They asked questions like, “Is Clocky for the need market or the fun market?”Since its publication, MBA professors around the country have been teaching the case. Gauri has given talks at Columbia, New York University, and Harvard among other schools to lend her perspective on the entrepreneurial experience. This morning, we received a message from professor Michael Norton at Harvard Business School. He’ll be teaching students about companies who understand some fundamental aspect of human nature, and then students will be asked to apply those principles to other companies and industries. In the case of Clocky, the fundamental aspect is that people have different selves, a want self and a should self; at night the should self sets the alarm for 6am, in the morning the want self turns it off; Clocky fixes the problem.If you’d like more information, or want to order the case study, you can check Harvard Business Publishing. Side note – Professor Ofek and Gauri are working on the follow-up to the original Clocky case. More on that in the next couple of months. | blog The Harvard Business School Case Study on ClockyIn 2006, Gauri worked with Marketing Professor Elie Ofek on a Harvard Business School case study on our Clocky product...

...Introduction Selecting and recruiting god employees for an organization is indeed one of the most crucial and critical aspects of running an organization as the decisions so taken to this respect can either take the organization to the heights of success, or a mistake or wrong decision in the same can altogether destroy the organization. In this respect, it must be borne in mind that each individual has a valuable contribution, irrespective of the position or status of the employee in the respective organization. In the correct age of information and the equally competitive business environment, it would be somewhat of a futile exercise to select and recruit an employee simply upon the selector's gut feeling, the handsome appearance, or even the fast talking candidate trying to show that he or she knows everything needed for the respective position for which she or he is applying for. Hence, the importance given to the various checks and measures for selecting and recruiting good employees, and where possible the adoption of scientific processes, even though all the checks, measures, and precautions taken for selection and recruitment may prove to be wrong and may even possibly damage the company's reputation. Then there is the important, yet equally crucial element of rising number of candidates for each job or vacancy, compared to the number of job openings, and the difference seems to be rising every year with graduates and post-graduates entering the job market not by the...

...Tips in writing Case Studies Strengths of Case Studies Provides detailed (rich qualitative) information. Provides insight for further research. Permitting investigation of otherwise impractical (or unethical) situations. Because of their in-depth, multi-sided approach case studies often shed light on aspects of human thinking and behaviour that would be unethical or impractical to study in other ways. Research which only looks into the measurable aspects of human behaviour is not likely to give us insights into the subjective dimension to experience which is so important to psychoanalytic and humanistic psychologists. Case studies are often used in exploratory research. They can help us generate new ideas (that might be tested by other methods). They are an important way of illustrating theories and can help show how different aspects of a person's life are related to each other. The method is therefore important for psychologists who adopt a holistic point of view (i.e. humanistic psychologists). Limitations of Case Studies Can’t generalize the results to the wider population. Researchers' own subjective feeling may influence the case study (researcher bias). Difficult to replicate. Time consuming. Because a case study deals with only one person/event/group we can never be sure whether the conclusions drawn from this particular case apply elsewhere. The results of the study are not generalizable because we can never know whether the case we have investigated...

...bargains play a major role in the criminal justice system. The use of plea bargains has become quite controversial with valid points argued by those who support and those who oppose their use. Before making a decision to agree or disagree, one must compare the arguments regarding the use of plea bargains as well as understand the purpose of the plea bargain, types of plea bargains, and the positive and negative aspects of each type of plea bargain. Purpose of Plea Bargains A plea bargain is an arrangement made for a criminal case in which the prosecution proposes a deal to the defendant in exchange for a guilty plea. A plea bargain allows individuals who have been accused of criminal activity the ability to dodge a possible conviction during a trial for a more serious charge. The prosecution will typically offer the defendant a sentence for a lesser charge, or the original charge will remain with an additional recommendation for a lighter sentence (Meyer & Grant, 2003). These types of incentives allow the courts to save time and money by settling cases quickly and effectively. Plea bargains are initiated by either the defense or prosecuting attorney. Both parties are involved throughout the process of negotiations. This process can either be speedy or consist of several lengthy meetings that involve changing the conditions of the plea agreement until an agreement is reached. The prosecution and defense must be in complete agreement regarding the conditions of...

...Case Study – Royal Hotel 1. Briefly (2 paragraphs or less) describe the facts of the case. In order to improve the performance, Royal Hotel (RH) became one of the clients of Fancy Consultants& Company (FC). Blake Cantera was an intern and he was in charge of this case. According to the General Manager (GM), the level of the service in RH was unacceptable based on the discerning guests and RH’s self-positioning. Blake recommended RH to purchase and install M-tech’s Espresso after some short interview with some related people. Blake also gave four main advantages of the proposed information system as followed: Rapid response, Quaility control, Preventive maintenance, and Reporting. This system allow housekeepers to report problems as soon as possible without waiting so that it can reduce the chance of “slippage through the cracks” if the housekeeper forgot to communicate the problem. This system also can avoid the same problem occurred again and the manager can reward the employees according to their performance based on the data which showed by the system. While Blake got another account, so, his classmate Jack took over this case. After one month and a half, Blake was told that his solution was failed. It was useless and it just wasted money. When he came back to RH, he found that the Espresso was sitting in a corner, nobody cares about it, and every employee thought the older manual system was better than the new one. When Blake prepared to find a solution to make...

...them get developed as a result of the various situations and experiences that one undergoes on a daily basis. Cognition is the intricate process through which a living being can decode and comprehend various aspects of the surrounding. For instance, it would be an aspect of cognition when one can identify that there has been a drop in temperature and it has, therefore, become cold. Cognition is not only unique to human beings as some animals also exhibit sufficient intelligence to understand the various cognitive processes (Schacter & Scarry, 2001). This paper shall evaluate these cognitive processes with particular regard to the aspect of memory as it develops with age and how the memory status of a child differs from that of a person with advanced age. The Idea of Memory Memory could be described in simple terms as the aspect and process through which living organisms are able to store, decipher and even retrieve information. Memory mainly deals with information and the manner of handling that information on a day to day basis. The intricate process and aspects of memory, however, seek to go beyond just storing and retrieving information; there is the idea of how one can interpret and also use that information already in the memory (Nilsson, 2006). The intricate aspects of memory differ depending on the age of a particular person. For instance, an adult would be considered to have better and improved memory than a child; despite this being the norm, there are numerous exemptions...
