Classified in Economy

Written on in English with a size of 4.62 KB

CHAPTER 1

4) To participate in a supply chain, a firm must actually handle the physical goods at some point.

7) Inputs to the transformation process are tangible, but the outputs may be tangible or intangible.

9) Of the three flows linking organizations in a supply chain, information and monetary flows always move upstream and physical flows always move downstream.

10) A second-tier supplier is downstream from a first-tier supplier in the supply chain.

13) The drive for efficiency has decreased the level of globalization in the world economy over the last twenty years.

14) E-commerce is the component of a supply chain that is the most susceptible to breakdown.

15) To avoid supply chain problems, firms must manage relationships with their downstream... Continue reading "Key Concepts in Supply Chain and Operations Management" »

The Interwar Period: Prosperity and Depression

The Roaring Twenties

After World War I, a period of economic prosperity emerged. The USA became one of the most prosperous countries and the first world superpower. This economic growth was based on:

  • The development of industry: Due to the success of mass production and chain production.
  • An increase in consumption: Promoted by advertising, credit, and hire purchase.
  • Investments in stocks and shares: Banks, companies, and private individuals invested their capital in stocks, which increased their value.

The Crash of 1929

On October 24, 1929, “Black Thursday,” the stock exchange market collapsed. Investors panicked and tried to sell their stocks, which started the economic crisis of the 1930s.

Reason:

2.     The first he left open, the second one he covered with some fabric and the third he covered with a cork
3.     The three jars were left in the same place and after a few days he saw that there were maggots in the first two jars but not the third one

Efficient Recruiting and Algorithm Design: Set Cover, Hamiltonian Path, and Longest Increasing Subsequence

Set Cover to Efficient Recruiting

Input: Set U of elements, collection S1, ..., Sm of subsets of U, integer k ≥ 0

Construct an instance of the Efficient Recruitment Problem:

  • Sports are represented by U.
  • Applicants are represented by {1, ..., m}.
  • For every s ∈ U and 1 ≤ i ≤ m, M[s, i] = 'qualified' if s ∈ Si and 'not qualified' otherwise.

Steps:

  1. Call the oracle for Efficient Recruiting with input M and k.
  2. Return the result (yes or no) of the previous call.

Vertex Cover and Hitting Set

Graph: G = (V, E)

  • U = V(G)
  • Si = {u, v}, where (u, v) is an edge of G.

Vertex Cover ⇒ Hitting Set:

If C is a vertex cover for G of size k, then by definition, for every edge (u, v) in G, either u ∈ C or v ∈ C. Therefore, C is a solution for Hitting Set because... Continue reading "Efficient Recruiting and Algorithm Design: Set Cover, Hamiltonian Path, and Longest Increasing Subsequence" »

Virtue Ethics and Moral Dilemmas

A Virtuous Individual

An individual who I considered to be virtuous is my best friend, Reid Bartholomew. Reid would always look out for everyone around him, friends, and family. The Golden Mean is the midpoint between two extremes, which are known as deficiency and excess. Where the golden mean lies between the vices depends on the situation. For example, courage could be considered the golden mean while cowardice is a deficiency and recklessness is an excess.

In Aristotle’s virtue ethics, he provided three conditions for authentic moral actions.

  1. The subject knows well what he is doing. For instance, Reid had planned on completing all his homework for one day so he would have more time to study for his midterms the next day.
  2. The subject does

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM)

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) is an instrument used for imaging surfaces at the atomic level, revealing the topography of conductive specimens. It measures tunneling current and can be used in air, water, and various gas environments, at temperatures ranging from near zero Kelvin to a few hundred degrees Celsius. STM operates in two modes: constant interaction mode and constant height mode.

Advantages of STM

  • High resolution, not limited by diffraction
  • Small sample size
  • Can modify samples to create small structures
  • Does not require a partial vacuum

Disadvantages of STM

  • Difficult to determine detailed shapes
  • Slow scanning speed
  • Small image sizes
  • Not
