...3 factors that could affect splicing performance: Cleaving is a major factor in splicing fiber optic cables, and it is necessary to use a good cleaver to do this with. Cleanliness is another factor that will affect splicing performance; the glass core must be cleaned prior to putting it in the connector because dust will play a factor in the performance of the splice. And using different brand of fiber cables can play a major factor in the overall performance of the splice. It can make it difficult to join the two cables together. The way to help reduce these factors is to ensure that you are using the proper splicing practices. (Fiber Optic Splicing) 3 intrinsic factors that can affect connection performance: Intrinsic factors are things that you cannot control during the splicing and connection process such as: Numerical Aperture mismatch, this is caused by the differences in the fiber itself and is nothing that you can control. Reflection loss is another factor that you cannot control because it is again based on the type of fiber optic cable you use for the splice. Refractive index profile distance is also a factor that is affects connection performance and it also caused by the cable manufacture and not something that you have done during the splicing process. The way to avoid all of this is to use the same type of fiber to do the splice if at all possible. (Intrinsic and Extrinsic factors) 3 extrinsic factors that affect connection performance: Extrinsic factors that...

...Chapter4&4A Department accumulates costs and then the costs are assigned equally to all products that flow through the department. We need to calculate the cost per unit (to do this we need to calculate costs and number of units - equivalent units). We need to calculate equivalent units because a department usually has some partially completed units in its beginning and ending inventory Two half completed products are equivalent to one completed product. For example, 80% of 1000 units complete are equivalent to 800 complete units. There two ways to calculate equivalent units: The weighted-average method: Blends together units and costs from prior and current periods. No distinction between work done in prior or current periods. We add together the units of transferred out and the equivalent units in ending work in process inventory. FIFO More accurate than weighted average method The calculation of equivalent units is different. The way in which the costs of beginning inventory are treated in the cost reconciliation is different. Better way to look at cost control. In a lean production environment, FIFO and weighted-average methods yield similar unit costs. When considering cost control, FIFO is superior to weighted-average because it does not mix costs of the current period with costs of the prior period. Steps to completing question: 1. Use the equation Beginning Inventory WIP + Units Started = Units transferred + Ending Inventory WIP to figure out the...

...reviewing the information, that was provided to us I realized that there are two different types of fiber. These two filters consist of soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber forms viscous solutions in water and can broken down by the intestinal micro-flora. When it comes to insoluble fibers, for the most part, it is fiber that does not dissolve in water and can be broken down by the intestinal micro-flora. When it comes to insoluble fibers, it is fiber that does not dissolve in water and cannot be broken down by bacteria in the large intestine. Between adults and children, adults need more fiber than what children do because their metabolism slows down causing a lack of efficiency.

...Renminbi Products A variety of offshore Renminbi products and services is provided in Hong Kong financial market. Hong Kong, as the first offshore market launching the renminbi business in 2004, it provides an ideal platform and sophisticated financial infrastructure for the financing and asset management, reminbi deposit, trade settlement and other renminbi services to cater to the needs of businesses. 1. Renminbi Deposit Since 2004, the Chinese government has reinforced the Hong Kong as an offshore renminbi business centre. Hong Kong is the largest renminbi liquidity pool outside Mainland China, and the gradual rise of the amount of renminbi deposit supports other renminbi businesses in Hong Kong. Between September in 2010 and September in 2010, the total amount of renminbi deposit has risen more than 300% from RMB149 billion to RMB622 billion. The rapid increase could be accounted for the poor performance of the equity market, leading to the search for another alternative investment for investors’ savings. When equity market is not doing well, RMB deposits and debt instruments could be no doubt the alternatives. Secondly, the expectation of the appreciation of renminbi has led to a rise of expected return on renminbi deposit, which increases the value of the renminbi, and it attracted more investors to deposit their money in reminbi. Comparing to the low Hong Kong dollar-deposit interest rate, which is around 0.1% because of following U.S. interest rate, Hong Kong...

...Disclosure and transparency According to McGee (2009), the corporate governance framework should ensure timely and accurate disclosure is made of all material matters regarding the corporation, including the financial situation, performance, ownership and governance of the company. According to IOSCO (2010), disclosure and transparency are critical elements of a robust corporate governance framework as they provide the basis for informed decision-making by stakeholders. High quality disclosure and transparency helps the public understand the company’s activities, policies and performance with regard to environmental and ethical standards as well as the relationship of the company with the stakeholders. The Global Financial Crisis has demonstrated how poor quality disclosure and lack of transparency can mask excessive risk-taking and leveraging by global financial institutions. Hence, high quality disclosure and transparency not only serves to protect investors but helps regulators in maintaining market confidence and systemic stability. The strengthening of disclosures and transparency involves actions by a range of market participants as it covers processes from verification, the determination of information for the publication and communication. Quantitative and qualitative corporate information is then disseminated through various periodic reports such as the annual and quarterly reports, other disclosures and through various media or other stakeholder engagement sessions...

...Demonstrative Communication Ian R. Briner BCOM/275 February 20, 2013 Robert Casey Demonstrative Communication Communication is what is conducted when we want to exchange information, thoughts and messages whether it is verbal, written, with signals and nonverbal. The basic communication process is composed of both a sender and receiver. First there is a message, the sender encodes the message and transmits it then the receiver receives the message and decodes it. This process can be conducted back and forth by the parties until satisfied understanding of the shared information is reached. Although many individuals perceive that verbal and written contains most of the information we share it is not entirely true. Cherry (2012), “A substantial portion of our communication is nonverbal”. Nonverbal (Demonstrative) communication can be composed of facial expressions, gestures, body language, tone of voice, appearance, etc. Like any other method of communication, Demonstrative communication can transmit a positive or negative message to receivers and senders. Many people are not aware this is possible but simple body language can tell you a lot concerning an individual’s mood, emotion, attention and even their understanding. Positive nonverbal communication can commonly be identified (in both receiver and sender) as smiling showing happiness and comfort in communication. Eye contact Demonstrative communication in the other hand can be seen as a frown or sad face, hands on hips...

...Chapter 21) 5. The governmental authority delivers the bonds to one or more investment banking firms. (Cleverley, Chapter 21) 6. The investment banking firms sell the bonds to investors at the public offering price, and the trustee provides the healthcare provider with the net proceeds. (Cleverley, Chapter 21) An alternative to traditional equity and debt financing is leasing. Leasing is undertaken primarily for what purposes? Leasing is undertaken for the primary purpose of protecting the organization from having to buy equipment that depreciates. Another reason is that it creates safe harbors for investment in healthcare entities, certain discounts for products, and for waiver of coinsurance or deductibles, among others. (Cleverley, chapter4) The two major types of leases are operating and financial. With an operating lease, sometimes called service leases, is a lease for a period shorter than the equipment’s economic life, usually cancelable. (Cleverley, pg 530) While financial lease, sometimes called capital leases, is a lease in which the lessor aims to lease an asset for virtually all its economic life. In return, the lessee is committed to lease payments for the entire lease period. (Cleverley, pg 521) Discuss the terms short-term borrowing and long-term financing.

...Cell Reproduction Introduction Cellular reproduction is the process by which cells duplicate their contents and then divide to yield two cells with similar, if not duplicate contents. Life as we know it depends on the ability of cells to store, retrieve and translate the genetic instructions required to make and maintain a living organism. In this assignment, I will discuss two different types of cell reproduction, mitosis and meiosis and, include the different stages required in order for the reproduction to take place. Mitosis Mitosis is a process by which a cell divides to form two daughter cells and produces an almost carbon copy of the parent cell. The daughter cells will consist of the same number and type of chromosomes as the parent cell and will be identical to each other. Although cell division is the defining characteristic of mitosis, a number of events must take place during mitosis prior to the splitting of the cell. There are four phases that constitute the period in which cells make preparation for cell division. The four phases are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Prophase, the first stage of mitosis during which the chromosomes become shorter, thicker and consist of two chromatids. At this time, the chromosomes are still enclosed in the cell nucleus within the nuclear envelope. The chromosomes also contain a centromere, which is necessary in later phases for attachment to microtubules for migration. Late in prophase, kinetochores...
