...Introduction Apple is a major computer company who has great pioneering designs and understanding of what consumers want, and what can be made to place it in the forefront of American and international business. Apple is an American multinational computer hardware, software and PC corporation. They have also created several hand held phones and multimedia devices that are trendy all around the globe (unknown, n.d.). In 1976 Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne started Apple. The corporation paid attention to what the market had to offer on personal computing with an easy interface and powerful graphics. As a result with the beginning of spreadsheets and then desktop publishing, the Apple Computer slowly began to create an influential forte in the computer market. The Apple computer was forcefully marketed to schools across the U.S. and rapidly became the standard computer for some educational institutions. In 1998 Apple upgraded and released the iMac, then followed up in 2001 with Mac OS X, a brand new operating system. That’s when they began to open Apple retail stores. Later Apple introduced the iPod, iPhone, and iPad (unknown, n.d.).

...No. 6 ARTIFICIAL HEARTS IN MANKIND 353 A RAPID TECHNIQUE FOR THE DETECTION OF NICOTINE IN DEVELOPING TOBACCO SEEDLINGS1' 2 PEI-HSING LIN WU AND WILLIAM R. SHARP Department of Botany and Institute of Polar Studies, and Department of Microbiology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 4S210 ABSTRACT A rapid and sensitive method for detecting alkaloids, in particular nicotine, from Nicotiana rustica tobacco seedlings up to 2 mm in length has been developed. Growing tissue is applied (squashed) directly onto silica gel plates for thin-layer chromotographic analysis. The sensitivity of this method permits the detection of quantities of nicotine as small as 0.4 microgram. INTRODUCTION During the course of our study on the chemical patterns of plant growth and development (Peters et al., 1972), it was necessary to use rapid procedures to analyze chemical contents of growing tissues. The present study deals with the development of a procedure for the rapid detection of the alkaloids. The histochemical detection of alkaloids in growing tissues, as demonstrated by others (Chaze, 1932; James, 1950), is based on the reaction with iodine in potassium iodide solution. These methods are complicated by the presence of carbohydrates and proteins, which also react positively to iodine in potassium iodide solution. James (1946) was able to overcome the difficulty of liberating alkaloids from denatured proteins by blotting the tissue on filter paper prior to other treatment;...

...ACCOUNTING FRAMEWORK History of Accounting That's Summa Story! From the oaves to Cafe Paoioli By Derry Cotter, FCA Accountants are generally recognised as making a valuable contribution to society, by providing the information that allows entrepreneurship to flourish, business to operate efficiently, stakeholders' interests to be protected, shares to be fairly priced, and taxation and audit requirements to be satisfied. Accounting, however, has not always enjoyed such an established position, and today there is often a tendency to take our profession's status for granted. It is interesting, therefore, to examine the factors that have brought accounting to the preeminent place that it occupies today. Our story begins in primitive times, when cave dwellers collected enough food to satisfy their daily requirements. Before long, the more enterprising among them would set aside some for future use. In effect that was surplus capital, and it represented the first step towards the accumulation of wealth. Soon, they 50 were exchanging their surplus for commodities owned by different cave dwellers. This exchange, which constituted a form of barter, was the first step in the development of a system of commerce.' Record keeping is thought to have begun around 4,000 BC in Babylonia and Assyria. Chatfield- describes the Babylonians as obsessive bookkeepers, with records being kept by scribes, who are regarded as the predecessor of today's accountants. Hundreds of scribes were...

...Abstract If it was not for certain technological advances with reference to computers much of the global business community would not able conduct business and produce products. In all aspects of business, ethics and morals have to be the foundation but where the rubber hits the road, business etiquette will aid in maintaining high job satisfaction and keep customers coming back. With the vast majority of business operations having a foothold in technology there is a severe need for e-etiquette. What is Driving Technology in Business? In today’s era of business there would be a severe lack of production if the power goes out. With the advancement’s and availability of computer technology in business, there has been a significant shift in the way day-to-day business operations are conducted. The introduction of the computer and data processing capability to the business world transformed the workplace. Unlike the traditional typewriter, the computer brought with it the ability to easily store and correct documents without having unsightly spots of “white-out”. The usage and utilization of computers, computer systems and information technology (IT) applications in every aspect of business is now routine. Wide-ranging means of connecting to and access technologies with computing interfaces expedite communication between employees and with business partners, suppliers, customers, or other stakeholders. With the plethora of software, production...

...A 360 degree feedback and its implementation 1. Introduction 360 degree feedback, also known as multi-source feedback, was defined by Ward (1997) as "the systematic collection and feedback of performance data on an individual or group derived from a number of the stakeholders on their performance". Different authors view, who propose definitions of the 360 degree feedback process. “Feedback from multiple sources or ‘360 degree feedback’ is a performance appraisal approach that relies on the input of an employee’s superiors, colleagues, subordinates, sometimes customers, suppliers and/or spouses” (Yukl and Lepsinger, 1995). The 360 degree evaluation can help one person be rated from different sides, different people which can give the wider prospective of the employee’s competencies (Shrestha, 2007). It is a process in which someone's performance is assessed and feedback is given by a number of people, who may include their manager, subordinates, colleagues and customers. Assessments take the form of rating against various performance dimensions. 360 degree feedback is a tool that gives managers a clear picture of their performance at workplace. Different opinions are gathered from the manager, their staff and their pair being assessed. All views are grouped together to form the clear picture. To accomplish this opinions are express by completion of a questionnaire incorporating different aspects of expected performance factors. Research conducted by Handy, Devine and Heath...

...1. INTRODUCTION In this term paper, I will explore the notion of ‘Technology Trust’ and if it impacts Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) implementation success. According to my research, there are many studies focusing on how an HRIS project can be initiated and implemented efficiently and effectively. However, there is not much information if ‘technology trust’ is an influential factor to reach the ultimate goal of HRIS implementation. The study Lippert and Swiercz (2005) worked to explore several propositions about the relationship between HRIS and Technology Trust and the effect of the relationship on HRIS implementation success. We know that trust is an essential component of all relationships. Research shows that trust is not only useful, but also central to understanding individual behavior in varied domains such as teamwork, risk-taking and job performance, information systems implementation, etc. (McKnight et al, 2011) Therefore, it is crucial to explore if the notion of “technology trust” helps explain why there are HRIS implementation failures and explain how to integrate the HRIS implementation process since it is proven that most organizations deploy less than 25% of the functionality of HRIS (Boroughs et al, 2008). Browne and Roguch (2001) stated that “despite the good faith efforts by organizations, analysts, and users, majority of systems are abandoned before completion or fail to meet user requirements.” The recent reports explain reasons the...
