...Organizational Restructuring | Organizations are human systems and their system structure includes the worldview, beliefs, and mental models of their leaders and members. Changing organizational behavior requires changing the belief system of its personnel. This process of changing beliefs is called learning. Effective learning requires clear, open communications throughout the organization. Organizational performance ultimately rests on human behavior and improving performance requires changing behavior. Therefore organizational restructuring should have as a fundamental goal the facilitation of clear, open communication that can enable organizational learning and clarify accountability for results. Since the world is continually changing, continuous organizational learning is necessary to stay up to date. Organizations that cannot or will not learn will become obsolete. Leaders should periodically examine the organizational structure of their enterprise to assure that it continues to provide an environment for organizational learning. A non threatening, development focused performance appraisal process can be an effective organizational learning tool. The points of leverage in organizations are the beliefs and worldview of their leaders and decision makers. The sense of purpose, vision and commitment of an organization's leadership play a critical role in the results it can accomplish. | Symptoms indicating the need for organizational restructuring....

...During this essay we will discuss the Disassembly of an M4 Carbine Rifle. The only items needed to perform these directions provided is an M4, M4 magazine, gloves which are optional and the readers undivided attention. Before any disassembly to any weapon no matter what experience level the person may be, the individual must "clear the weapon" in order to ensure that the weapon is unloaded and that there is no round in the chamber. The first step is to ensure that the weapon is pointed in a safe direction weather it is aimed down range toward targets or toward the ground. You must never point their weapon at something they don’t intend to shoot. Always point your weapon in a safe direction you must always ensure the weapon is on safe at all times until you are ready to use it. To place the weapon on safe move the selector lever on the left side of the pistol grip to the indicated position of “safe”. After you are sure the weapon is on safe you must remove the magazine from the magazine well and lock the bolt to the rear. To accomplish this you must push the magazine release button located on the right side of the magazine well. The magazine should just fall out. Now that the magazine is no longer in the weapon you must now lock the bolt to the rear of the rifle. You will then need to depress the lever on the left side of the charging handle (the T-shaped piece located on the bottom rear of the carrying handle) and pull sharply to the rear. While holding the charging handle all...

...AM emitter Introduction: This is the second project done in Communication Systems Lab, the first one was an FM transmitter and it was to communicate via radio transmission using FM modulation technique, and this one is the AM emitter, and the purpose of this project is to create an AM emitter at a bandwidth around 1000Hz. Now what is an AM emitter? An AM emitter is a circuit builds to modulate the message signal and transmit it, where the amplitude of the carrier signal varies in direct propagation with the message signal. It is limited in power but provides amplitude modulation of voice over the medium waveband. Circuit: Procedure: We connect the circuit as shown, but first we de attach the audio circuit that is connected to the oscillator by 4.7uF capacitor, and using a capacitor of 100pf, and then we connect the oscilloscope at the antenna. When I didn’t obtain a sine wave on the oscilloscope, I by the help of the instructor Dr Amin Abillamaa, connect the inductor to the emitter of the first transistor. After this I got a very high sine wave so I substituted that capacitor from 100pf to 1000pf (1nf), and then we got a carrier signal, and also we replace the variable capacitor by a 330pf. Before connecting the audio part, we connect the function generator to the 4.7uF capacitor and we set the parameters to 3Vpp and 800Hz. Then we remove the oscilloscope and we connect the alligator as an antenna and we change in the radio frequency to het a pure whistle...
