...CONSTRAINT ANALYSIS The two parameters (i) wing loading and (ii) power loading are the most important parameters that affect the airframe design and its performance. Wing loading and power loading are interconnected for a number of design parameters and because of this interconnection it is difficult to use historical data to independently select these values. Hence a different approach needs to be followed. The team decided to use sizing matrix plots to find the optimum value of the two parameters. For calculating the optimum values, the most important design requirements must be decided. The design requirements that have the highest weightage are: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Stall speed Take off distance Landing distance Sustained turn All the above design requirements were written in terms of wing loading and power loading. Since in the design requirements parameters are given in the inequality form, hence a region of point is obtained instead of single point of intersection. This region of favorable points is known as design space. On putting values of all parameters and then plotting in matlab, design space is obtained. The code for plotting the sizing matrix plot is given in Appendix A(a). In the design space the optimum design point is obtained by calculating the score of the point based on its weightage. (The weightage of various design parameters is given in Appendix A(b). REGRESSION ANALYSIS A regression analysis was done to find out the statistical relation between...

...EVALUATION OF THE HR POLICY OF THE WORLD BANK | | COURSE CODE AND TITLE: HUM 501 (HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT) | REGISTRATION NUMBER: SB/MHR/11/0004DATE: 14TH OCTOBER, 2011 | UNIVERSITY OF CAPE COAST SCHOOL OF BUSINESS UNIVERSITY OF CAPE COAST SCHOOL OF BUSINESS TOPIC WHAT IS A HUMAN RESOURCE POLICY? Generally, a policy, according to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, 7th edition (2007), is a plan of action agreed on or chosen by a political party, a business, etc. en.wikipedia.org describes policy as a principle or rule to guide decisions and achieve rational outcome(s). From these definitions, one can therefore deduce that policies are plans of action, principles, or rules which are meant to serve as guidelines to decision making in order to achieve a rational outcome. Policies are generally adopted by the Board of or senior governance body within an organization. That is to say that adopting the policies of any company does not lie with just anybody because policies serve more or less as guidelines as to what should be done and why they should be done; therefore they should come from the senior governing members of an organisation. Policies can be formulated to serve specific people or situations, depending on the purpose for which it must serve. They can come from either the government of a country, board of governors of a company or even an international control body. Human resource policy is a typical example of policies. “Human Resource Policies...

...1 Choice experiment: Identifying “niche” versus “change-of-pace” brands Albert C. Bemmaor, December 23, 2011 March 30, 2012 October 12, 2012 The use of the “REIBST2_vaa.xls” data file is restricted to the course MKGM31203 (Q1, 2012-2013) at ESSEC Business School. “Niche” brands can be defined as brands that benefit from an abnormally high repeat rate whereas “change-of-pace” brands can be defined as brands with an abnormally low repeat rate for a given penetration level. Key notions Here are some basic notions you need be familiar with prior to carrying out this exercise: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) What a “variable” is. What a mean (expected value) is and how to compute it; What the notion of independence between two events means and how to test for it; What a correlation between two variables is and how to measure it; What a market share is and how to interpret it; What a penetration is and how to interpret it; What the duplication between two brands is and how to interpret it. Analysis as a scientific process Analyzing data consists of a three-step procedure: (i) (ii) (iii) Defining expectations: What do you expect to find and why? If you have “no idea” about your expectations, you need to develop these ideas by discussing with colleagues, “experts”, reading textbooks and/or using other supporting material; Running the analysis; Comparing your expectations with the findings. Do they match? Did you obtain any surprising result...

...“movement”. The technical definition doesn’t restrict about the direction – whether you move up or down or just within what’s mentioned before as horizontal movement. Social Mobility is a term used in the objective comparison of economic or social states. Looking at the events around us, we can see that people care more about upward movement. When people talk about Social Mobility, they are likely referring to progress or development. Everyone wants to move up. Like what we commonly see in families. Almost everyone gives importance to good education. Parents keep reminding their children to be good in their studies so they can have good jobs. People want the opportunity to move up. People believe that progress is something that should be given in equal opportunities to us. People want to go up, as a group or as individuals. This is the reason why studies concerning Social Mobility stem to studies of inequality (Breen & Jonsson, 2005). As I see it, the society mostly measures the social class that one belongs to in financial terms. Social classification all boils down through...

...helped me out in those areas of different topics, but I just wish I had more time. I guess I would say that the answers wasn’t valid enough for me because it didn’t really give me a score because I made too many errors, so I don’t agree with that too much. I believe prejudice is difficult to measure because I don’t agree with it and don’t like the fact that it’s very big and can get worse if we don’t come together to get in one accord to help each other and make the world better to live in dealing with different people and feelings. I think measuring prejudice can be a tough thing to deal with and handle because of the many people that are prejudice, which are hurting and harming many situations and people that’s trying to make it while being equal to everyone regardless of what. I would have to take the test over to get a better score because I felt that wasn’t fair because I made too many errors to get a...

..."Education makes people easy to lead but difficult to drive, easy to govern but impossible to enslave" Discuss This is a statement based on the values of education but it refers to one aspect of education, namely, the citizenship value. Education has of course many aims like earning bread and butter, shelter . clothing and a good life. The last concerns man as a member of a society. Except in a dictatorial society, the ordinary citizen is, theoretically at least, equal to every other citizen and enjoys equal rights. This equality enjoins equality of justice and equality of opportunity. No position in the public life can be said to be far from his reach because of his birth or creed provided of course he deserves it by education and qualification. In every enlightened modem government, emphasis is laid on the education of its citizens. Up to a certain age education is made compulsory so that boys and girls get the benefit of it. They get enlightened and they are willing to obey and, given the chance, are ready to rule. Since almost every government in the world is governed by the representatives of the people, these representatives must be educated enough to shoulder the responsibility that falls on them. That is why one British Minister said, `Let us educate our masters' meaning that the people who vote their representatives for the highest legislative body of the country must be educated. Education helps them realize their responsibilities while they appreciate their rights...

...16 Carol’s sum: 12 My sum: Either 12 or 16 Since Andy cannot see his own cards and he answered yes to his question, the sum of my cards has to be either 12 or 16. The next question is given to Belle where she is asked, “Of the five odd numbers how many of them do you see? “ Since Belle cannot see her cards, Carol has a 2, 4, and 6 so she is eliminated that leaves Andy and myself. Andy has a 1, 5, and 7 which is three of the odd numbers, so using a simple process of elimination two of my cards must be 3 and 9. Now going back to Andy’s question, since he cannot see his own cards and two of the players he saw had equal sums it is impossible for me to have the same sum as Carol because it is 12 and I already have the sum of 12 with only 2 cards. Therefore my sum has to be the same as Belle which is 16, since I have a 3 and a 9 which equals 12, so 16 minus 12 equals 4 which is my missing card. So Anthony’s cards are 3, 4, and 9. This is an example of simple logic and required absolutely no reading from the textbook, everything is answered in the within the assignment situation all you have to do is read...

...View There is an existing employee fraud in the company done by Kate, who is a long-time friend and at the same time, valuable instructor and marketer. Since this is a serious offense made by Kate, a better control is needed to avoid incidents like these. Another thing is the company is not yet stable when it comes to policies/regulations. Proper segregation or delegation of duties must be done. Only one person is designed to do the recording of revenues and receiving of cash which is Kate. That’s the reason why Kate can have the opportunity to conceal fraud. IV. Objectives Specifically, the objectives of the study are the following: 1. To ensure that revenues are all recorded; 2. To make sure cash and cash in bank be equal to revenue recorded; and 3. To implement a better internal control. V. Areas of Consideration 1. If employees can adapt the change. 2. If Rosemary would be willing to spend time monitoring her business. 3. If Rosemary would be willing to put boundaries between personal and business...

...which was the norm across America in the early 1950’s. All schools in a given district were in fact supposed to be equal, however, most black schools were far inferior to white schools. This case was based on a black third grader by the name of Linda Brown in Topeka, Kansas, having to walk a mile through a railroad switchyard to get to her black elementary school even though a white elementary school was only seven blocks away from her home. Oliver Brown, Linda’s father, tried to enroll her in the white elementary school that was one seven blocks away but the principal of the school refused. Oliver Brown then commenced to McKinley Burnett which was the head of Topeka’s branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and asked for their help with this matter. The NAACP in fact helped Mr. Brown due to it’s long desire to challenge segregation in public schools. Other black parents joined Brown in the complaint and in 1951; the NAACP requested an injunction that would forbid the segregation of Topeka’s public schools. The U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas heard Brown’s case. At the trial, the NAACP argued that segregated schools sent the message to black children that they were inferior to whites and therefore the schools were inherently unequal along with the curriculum and that any school curriculum cannot be equal under segregation. The Board of Education’s defense was that because of the segregation in Topeka and elsewhere that...

...Catherine Powers Professor Mary Fahey English 1B 18 September 2013 Harrison Bergeron: Total Equality is Not Equal to Perfection Harrison Bergeron, a story written by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., is set in year 2081 when multiples constitutional amendments have been made to ensure that every single U.S. citizen is entirely equal under the law: nobody is more attractive, more intelligent, or stronger in physical capabilities than anybody else. The theme made clear in this satire is that total equality is not an ideal worth striving for, but a mistaken goal that is dangerous in both execution and outcome. The U.S. government in this story moves to ensure that no one citizen is in any way superior to another. One aspect of this is in physical aspects: nobody is allowed to be exceptionally attractive, nor are they allowed to be stronger or quicker. Masks are worn over excessively good-looking faces, and bags stuffed with lead balls are worn around the necks of the exceptionally strong so as to slow them down and weaken them. When a news bulletin comes on the television and a ballerina is made to deliver the news, Vonnegut tells us that this ballerina had to have been the best out of all the dancers because “her handicap bags were as big as those worn by two-hundred-pound men” (233). Ballerinas have always been generally petite women in such that they are skinny and perhaps not as tall as other girls or women. Two-hundred-pound men would crush a ballerina with their strength.

...Grutter v. Bollinger ruling that found affirmative-action policies to be constitutional. (Nhan, 2012) Of course it’s still needed and it’s constitutional since it reinforces the Constitution that is based on all men being created equal. And without this reinforce able law I don’t believe that the Constitution will hold true. And if Affirmative action was not still needed then why is there so much debate about it. Affirmative action has gone way beyond diversity, it’s all about power. This leads me to my first point when affirmative action was put in place white America lost their control and now they are trying to do whatever it takes to get that control back. One of the biggest blows to this countries ego was when the first black president was put into office, this really struck nerve. Finally, getting rid of affirmative action is just another way to shake up the confidence of minorities and women so that they break them down to where society feels they should be. This is just a fraction of why I feel affirmative action is still needed and society is just playing the part until someone makes the under minding decision to get rid of affirmative action and send us back 20 yrs. Affirmative action laws were put in place in order for minorities to achieve equal opportunity in employment and higher education. Even though as a society we have learned to coexist I am still not convinced that if those laws were not in place that Minorities would be given the same opportunities as they...

...STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS* Syllabus Segregation of white and Negro children in the public schools of a State solely on the basis of race, pursuant to state laws permitting or requiring such segregation, denies to Negro children the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment -- even though the physical facilities and other "tangible" factors of white and Negro schools may be equal. (a) The history of the Fourteenth Amendment is inconclusive as to its intended effect on public education. (b) The question presented in these cases must be determined not on the basis of conditions existing when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted, but in the light of the full development of public education and its present place in American life throughout the Nation. (c) Where a State has undertaken to provide an opportunity for an education in its public schools, such an opportunity is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms. (d) Segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race deprives children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities, even though the physical facilities and other "tangible" factors may be equal. (e) The "separate but equal" doctrine adopted in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, has no place in the field of public education. (f) The cases are restored to the docket for further argument on specified questions relating to the forms of the decrees. Opinion WARREN MR. CHIEF JUSTICE...

If I and Y increase, b1 ,which is the propensity to increase Investment with respect to Income, will also tend to increase. With an increase in b1, which makes it closer to 1, the denominator of the multiplier becomes smaller. Assuming C1 will also increase with increase in Y, multiplier will become greater in value. (b1 + C1) must be less than or equal to 1. d) There will be a decrease where the change in equilibrium output will be multiplied with the multiplier which is (1/ 1- b1 - C1). As this is an open economy, Investment may not equal to National Savings. National Savings = Public Savings + Private Savings = T-G + Y – T – C = T-G + Y – T - C0 - C1 (Y-T) = T-G + Y – T - C0 - C1 Y+ C1 T = Y(1- C1 ) – G - C0 + C1 T As National Savings is proportional to Output, National Savings will also decrease in this case. e) Y= (1/ 1- b1 - C1)C0 - C1T + b0 +G+NX = (1/ 0.4)(100-0.5(50)+100+ 50+ 50) = 275(2.5) =687.5 National Savings = 687.5(1-0.5) – 50 – 100 + 0.5(50)) = 218.75 a.
