...Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) was produced by a partnershp between University of Pennsylvannia and the US government. It consisted of 18,000 vacuum tubes and 7000 resistors. It was developed by John Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly and was a general purpose computer. "Von Neumann designed the Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer (EDVAC) in 1945 with a memory to hold both a stored program as well as data." Von Neumann's computer allowed for all the computer functions to be controlled by a single source. Then in 1951 came the Universal Automatic Computer(UNIVAC I), designed by Remington rand and collectively owned by US census bureau and General Electric. UNIVAC amazingly predicted the winner of 1952, presidential elections, Dwight D. Eisenhower. In first generation computers, the operating instructions or programs were specifically built for the task for which computer was manufactured. The Machine language was the only way to tell these machines to perform the operations. There was great difficulty to program these computers ,and more when there were some malfunctions. First Generation computers used Vacuum tubes and magnetic drums(for data storage). Second Generation Computers (1956-1963) The invention of Transistors marked the start of the second generation. These transistors took place of the vacuum tubes used in the first generation computers. First large scale machines were made using these technologies to meet the requirements of atomic energy laboratories...

...Policy Issue Analysis: The Affordable Care Act and Nursing April 7, 2013 Policy Issue Analysis: The Affordable Care Act and Nursing Problem Identification Healthcare costs are soaring in the United States today. More people than ever before are uninsured or underinsured. In 2006-07, there were 46 million people uninsured (Gulley, Rasch, & Chan, 2011), and 9 million children also did not have health insurance (Coddington & Sands, 2008). A change in how healthcare is managed and financed is greatly needed to avoid worsening of this situation. Background The cost of healthcare and the number of uninsured individuals has become a critical issue today. Healthcare spending in the U. S. has grown faster than the economy, by about two to three percent per year since the end of World War II (Brown, 2009, p. 1). If nothing changes, Medicare will cost as much as the sum of all federal income taxes in about 75 years (Brown, 2009, p. 2). Healthcare premiums have become so unaffordable, that many families do without. The lack of insurance has a direct effect on poor health outcomes, increasing morbidity and mortality, which also contributes to increased healthcare costs (Coddington & Sands, 2008, p. 1). The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), also known as Obamacare, was signed into law on March 23, 2010, and the Supreme Court made a final decision to uphold the law on June 28, 2012 (U. S. Department of Health and Human Services). The...

...The Post-Earnings Announcement Drift (PEAD) was discovered by Ball and Brown in 1968 and it is still one of the most robust discoveries in the financial markets. The phenomenon was discovered when testing for market efficiency. Ball and Brown (1968) were estimating how fast a financial market incorporates new earnings information into the stock prices. They found an upward drift much longer than expected in stock prices after a ”good news” earnings announcement and a similar downward drift for a ”bad news” announcement. PEAD is the tendency for a stock’s cumulative abnormal returns to drift for several weeks (even several months) following positive earnings announcement. It is an academically well-documented anomaly first discovered by Ball and Brown in 1968 (we present links to several related academic research papers). Since then it has been studied and confirmed by countless academics in many international markets. There are a number of ways to define an earnings surprise (or ways to filter stocks with positive response to earnings) - earnings higher than analysts estimates, earnings higher than some average earnings or stock’s price appreciation during earnings announcement period higher than expected. Each factor shows strong prediction ability for the stock’s future returns, and it is good to use some combination of factors just to enhance the PEAD effect. We present one such strategy from the source paper related to this anomaly. This strategy is presented in its long-short...

...History of English (Source: A History of English by Barbara A. Fennell) The English language is spoken by 750 million people in the world as either the official language of a nation, a second language, or in a mixture with other languages (such as pidgins and creoles.) English is the (or an) official language in England, Canada, Australia and New Zealand; however, the United States has no official language. Indo-European language and people English is classified genetically as a Low West Germanic language of the Indo-European family of languages. The early history of the Germanic languages is based on reconstruction of a Proto-Germanic language that evolved into German, English, Dutch, Afrikaans, Yiddish, and the Scandinavian languages. In 1786, Sir William Jones discovered that Sanskrit contained many cognates to Greek and Latin. He conjectured a Proto-Indo-European language had existed many years before. Although there is no concrete proof to support this one language had existed, it is believed that many languages spoken in Europe and Western Asia are all derived from a common language. A few languages that are not included in the Indo-European branch of languages include Basque, Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian; of which the last three belong to the Finno-Ugric language family. Speakers of Proto-Indo-European (PIE) lived in Southwest Russia around 4,000 to 5,000 BCE. They had words for animals such as bear or wolf (as evidenced in the similarity of the words for these animals...

...Research Proposal: 1.1 An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Distribution Strategies on customer satisfaction: A case of Delta Beverages in Gweru 1.2 Back ground to the study Delta Beverages is a monopolistic producer of lagers in Zimbabwe. Though it has some competition from other liquor companies, the author is going to concentrate on Gweru as the area of research on customer dissatisfaction on distribution. According to Oxford Dictionary,’ distribution is the transport and supply of goods to various people or places’. Therefore distribution is a marketing activity aimed at taking manufactured goods close to customers. There is direct and indirect distribution. Delta Beverages uses indirect distribution. According to htt.www.com distribution (or place) is the fourth traditional element of the marketing mix. The other three are Product, Price and Promotion. Most businesses use third parties or intermediaries to bring their products to the market. They try to forge a “distribution channel” which can be defined as “all the organizations through which a product must pass between its point of production and consumption” Delta Beverages is no exception as it also heavily relies on stockists and retailers for its products to rich the consumer at a place convenient to him/her. Giving the job of selling products to intermediaries reduces the costs of distribution. Also these distribution channels are specialists in selling. They...

It is used by the food industry as a soluble dietary fibre and fat or sugar replacement, and in the pharmaceutical industry as a stabiliser and excipient. It can also be used as a precursor in the synthesis of a wide range of compounds. New uses for inulin are constantly being discovered, with recent research into its use for slow-release drug delivery. Inulin, when in a particulate form, possesses anti-cancer and immune enhancing properties. Given its increasing importance to industry, this review explains how inulin's unique physico-chemical properties bestow it with many useful pharmaceutical applications.

...InterClean Company Development Plan University of Phoenix-Diamond Bar HRM/531 Human Capital Management September 19, 2010 InterClean looks at two key elements of a job analysis, one it identification of major job requirements (MJR) which are the most important duties and responsibilities of the position to be filled. They are the main purpose or primary reasons the position exists. The primary source is the most current, official position description. The second element is identification of knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA) required to accomplish each MJR and the quality level and amount of the KSA’s needed. Most job analysis deal with KSAs that are measurable, that can be documented, and produce meaningful differences between candidates. Typically, possession of KSAs is demonstrated by experience, education, or training. Goals of KSAs is to identify those candidates who are potentially best qualified to perform the position to be filled.
