...Components of Fitness The 6 components of physical fitness are; muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, speed, body composition, aerobic endurance and the components of skill-related fitness; agility, balance, co-ordination, power and reaction time. I will relate the components of fitness to my chosen sport-netball. 6 components of physical fitness Aerobic endurance Aerobic endurance is having the ability to exercise for a long period without getting tired. During aerobic work the body is dependent on oxygen; also athletes who are good at aerobic endurance will have slow twitch fibres. This component is suited for an ectomorph because of their small body surface area, light frame and good thermo regulation, which is suitable for endurance based sports such as a triathlon. Aerobic endurance relates to netball because you have to continually run up and down the court for the duration of the netball game. Muscular endurance Muscular endurance is having the ability to keep contracting your muscles without getting tired. During an activity that uses muscular endurance they will use slow twitch fibres because of the endurance of the activity. This component is suited for an endomorph because of their large lung capacity they are able to do sports like rowing, which needs muscular endurance. They are also able to increase their muscle mass easily. In netball you need to have good muscular endurance because you use your leg muscles – triceps and hamstrings- constantly...

...Components of Pharmacology Stacy Maryland Liberty University Online Pharmacology Pharmacology is the study of drugs; manmade, organic, or endogenous, and their application and physiological effect(s) most specifically on the central nervous system (CNS). The Doweiko text succinctly describes a pharmaceutical as that which is responsible for, “changing the biological functions of target cells through chemical action” (2015, p. 16). Drugs both licit and illicit, are largely classified as depressants, hallucinogens, opiates, and stimulants, come in myriad forms, allow for multiple avenues of consumption, and have inherent side effects. When developing, dispensing, or using a drug, it is necessary to understand the aforementioned, as well as its half-life, effective and lethal doses, potential interactions, and consequences of abuse or misuse. What is desired from a drug is its optimum effect or highest potential, which is contingent on its bioavailability and a rather complex process of being metabolized in the body. All substances have an effect on the body known as its half-life. Drug half-life, divided into three categories: distribution half-life, therapeutic half-life, and elimination half-life. It essentially refers to a compound’s effectiveness, duration of effect, and time in the body, respectively (Doweiko, 2015, p. 23). Every drug has a preferred effect. This intended outcome is referred to as its prime or desired effect. As previously stated, each of these...

...Components of Expectancy There are three components of the expectancy theory of motivation which will be explained in this essay. After the three components are explain, the components will be put to use in a real world scenario. The scenario introduces a company that produces a line of branded professional audio products for which they strive to provide the highest quality audio products in the industry. Now let’s get started with explain the three components. The first component is valence that refers to the appeal of a consequence to an individual employee. Salary, job security, benefits, feeling of accomplishment, and advancement. Optimistic or undesirable, valence can differ in size. The scale of valence is how necessary a conclusion is for an employee. The establishment of valence conclusions to employees is vital to inspire and keep valuable employees. As stated before, valence is the first module of the expectancy concept and is the important feature when deciding a stimulus factor for employees. Valence should be great. Employees should want or need the results they acknowledged if they are to achieve a higher level. Thus managers must regulate what results an employee wishes, or the valence of dissimilar results for the employee. The second key factor in the expectancy model is instrumentality. It is insight about the degree to which presentation of one or more actions will lead to the achievement of a specific outcome. The certain level of work performance and...

What do I like or what am I interested in? What makes me tick, per say? I guess at this point in my life I can narrow it down to three things, besides being in school full time. Those three components happen to be Caffeine, Cars, and Music. Why these three? Well, caffeine helps me cope with something called the morning, cars are fun and very fast sometimes, and music is just awesome. I’m writing this paper to describe why I like these things and how they are marketed to me. Oh, and thanks for taking interest because my life is actually pretty awesome. The first component I am going to cover is Caffeine. I work for a company; you may have heard of it, it is kind of popular. They are all over the world in fact. And in New York City, there is one on every street corner, literally. You probably drink their products every day. Ringing any bells? Yup, it is Starbucks. I have been a “partner” with them for nearly seven years. I drink their coffee every day too. I guess you can say I am and addict. Oh well. And the best part is that I rarely have to pay for their products. But, what exactly are their products? Their biggest product is obviously their coffee. Starbucks also produces mugs, tumblers, brewers, grinders, French presses, and so on. But it all comes back to the coffee itself. Almost all the other...

...limitations of traditional cryptography, which usually involves creating and sharing a secret key to encrypt and decrypt messages. Using traditional cryptography, communications over the Internet may easily be decrypted if the key is intercepted. The PKI infrastructure eliminates the risk of data interception by putting a system in place that bars messages from being decrypted, and is understandably the most preferred method of communications over the Internet. PKI Components Essential elements in a public key infrastructure include a certificate authority, a registration authority, one or more directories, and a certificate management system. The certificate authority (CA) is the body responsible for issuing and verifying digital certificates, which contain the public key or any information about the key. The registration authority (RA) verifies an individual or organization before the CA issues a digital certificate to the party. The last two elements in the PKI infrastructure are software components to store the certificates and public keys and a system to manage the certificates. PKI Process In public key cryptography, a CA generates a public and private key simultaneously using the same algorithm for an individual entity. Only the requesting party is allowed to access the private key, whereas the public key is contained within a digital certificate and made publicly available. The private key--never shared or sent over the Internet--is used...

...The Components of Empowerment There is a formula for empowerment. Empowerment is definitely achievable, if a person is strong minded and truly believes. The bar for success and effectiveness in this society has been raised. The four components for empowerment includes: participation, delegation, capitalization, and trust (Whisenand & Ferguson, 2009). The formula states that delegation plus participation plus capitalization divided by trust equals empowerment. A leader is placed in position to share the responsibility for decisions and tasks with others. Effective delegation allows a leader to expand and apply their knowledge to execute the work of the department successfully. In order to do that you must receive participation. It is up to the leader to be the motivating factor towards sparking an interest to get everyone else involved. Effective leaderships start from within, and before a person becomes a leader, they have to play their position and participate until their mission is complete. Encouraging others to express their ideas, their needs, and their hopes about an issue or pending decision that affects them is participation (Whisenand & Ferguson, 2009). Thinking outside the box and expressing concerns gets a person actively involved. When leaders notice that they are receiving the feedback they need, they then capitalize on it. There is uniqueness for everyone, finding what it is, how it works for that person determines the dos and the don’ts. Finding out what...

...A-38 B&C, Sector- 64, Noida-201301 U.P. India. Sub: Electronics Engineering Management - Counterfeit Electronics components Abstract Counterfeiting has a long and despicable history, ranging from art and literature to manufactured goods. Unlike other industries, counterfeiting in the aerospace industry may have life or death Consequences. We take the problem seriously. Thus, all stakeholders from industry and government must work together to effectively reduce the introduction of counterfeit parts into the aerospace supply chain and minimize their impact. The introduction of counterfeit parts whether they are electronic, mechanical or other adversely affects government, industry, consumers which includes National security or civilian safety issues and costs of enforcement. Counterfeit parts are an escalating global supply chain challenge where a single occurrence represents widespread risk to product cost and quality, human safety, and national security. Aerospace and defense products are targets for counterfeiters because the systems are intended for use over extended time, leaving them vulnerable to obsolescence of parts, materials, subsystems and technologies. As the time of system use increases, a substantial number of the parts required to support aerospace and defense products are no longer available from the original equipment/component manufacturers (OEMs/OCMs) or through franchised or authorized suppliers. The aerospace and defense product manufacturer...

...Curricular Components Teachers need to apply the three UDL principles to four curricular components: Goals (learning expectations) Learning goals are important facets of the UDL framework as they guide lessons and student outcomes. It is important that goals are clear and take student differences into account. They allow teachers to offer students various options and provide alternatives through scaffolding, pathways, and strategies. Goals developed through traditional curriculum focus on the content and performance of goals whereas UDL goals focus on developing student skills. For example: A traditional learning goal for a history lesson would be: The students will quietly read a chapter about World War II and write a 500 word handwritten response about the causes of the war. A UDL goal would be: Students will learn about and present information about factors contributing to the causes of World War II. The main goal of the lesson is for students to learn about the factors that contributed to the start of...

...RAMP Components Name Course Instructor Institution Date Introduction Research carried out on 48 virtual teams that had different effectiveness depicted that there were five characteristics and practices that distinguished between the highest and lowest performing virtual teams. These differentiators include; commitment and engagement, collaboration, information flow, shared decision making processes and trust. Below I will discuss four of the differentiators. Differentiator 1: Commitment and Engagement From the research, it shows that high performance virtual teams as being proactive, engaged and very initiative. They have a score of around 3.6 from a possible 4 points as compared to their counterparts that have a score of 3.06. These top performing teams always tend to go above and beyond so as to make sure they achieve their successes. Another reason for success would be the use of team leaders who help to motivate the others members and hence play a role in commitment and motivation. Most of the top performing teams had members that would take on leadership responsibilities and hence reduce the leader’s burden, but the low performing teams would not do so. It is crucial for virtual team members to help in sharing the official leader’s responsibilities this is because it means that they can work under less supervision and hence will be very effective in carrying out their other responsibilities than those members who cannot share the leader’s...
