They would need extra space to keep patient data if need be so they would need a large HDD. Most likely going with the HP Pavilion. Teacher: A teacher would more than likely have both of these types of computers but I would see a laptop being much more convenient. Being able to bring all of their grades around from classroom to classroom without bringing an entire desktop with them would be a life saver.

...1.12.2014 Advanced Economic Evaluation Introduction: The highway A5 Nord/Weinviertel Autobahn should connect Vienna (Austria) and Brno (Czech Republic). Nowadays travellers have to go through a mix of highways and country roads which go through cities and villages. Construction is performed in three stages: In 2010 the first construction stage with a length of 23.5 km from Eibesbrunn to Schrick was opened to traffic. The second stage from Schrick to Poysbrunn with a length of 25 km is supposed to be constructed till 2017 and the last stage from Poysbrunn to Drasenhofen with a length of 9 km should be finished in 2018. From Drasenhofen, the Austrian boarder travellers can use the Czech highway to Brno, so there will be a continuous highway between Vienna and Brno. The construction and maintenance of the highway is financed through Public Private Partnership by the Bonaventura Straßeneinrichtungs-GmbH Problem statement: The objective of a new highway is to improve the travel conditions and improve the quality of life for the people who are living close to the old road and suffer from noise, thus these benefits exceeds the costs of constructing and operating a highway? For answering this question an economic evaluation has to be done. Theoretical and methodological considerations An in Medias res Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) where all relevant economic environmental and social impacts are included, is performed for the highway case. A CBA as an economic evaluation method was...

...Transfer Time From using a various calculators to determine transfer rates, transfer time and file size it was easily noticed how they were all related. All three variables must be utilized in order to discern a particular transfer rate, transfer time or file size. The transfer time of a file is directly related to the speed in which it is transferred. How quickly a file is transferred primary depends on the size of the file and the speed in with the file is being transferred. The quicker the transfer speed the quicker the file transfer was completed. The same file could take twice as long to transfer if the transfer speed was half as fast. For example, a file that is 2 GB will take at least 91 hours to transfer at the rate of 56 Kbps. However, if the transfer rate for this file was 4 Mbps it will only take a little over an hour to transfer. A file that is 100 MB will take over four hours to transfer at the rate of 56 Kbps. When the rate is 4 Mbps the entire file will be transferred in less than four minutes. It is clear that the larger the file the longer the transfer time. The smaller the file; the shorter transfer time will be. This is if the transfer rate for each file is the same. Calculating the transfer rate, transfer time and file size is done with basic math. In order to calculate the transfer time for a file you multiply the file size by the speed at which the information is going to be transferred. If one wanted to calculate...

Dublin Institute of Technology Bachelor of Engineering Technology in Mechanical Engineering Laboratory 2 Plate Heat Exchanger Assignment Robert O’Donovan Student Number: C12756051 Due Date: 24/10/2014 Lecturer: Jim Ffrench Dublin Institute of technology Bolton Street, Dublin 1. I. Abstract Heat exchangers are a piece of process equipment used for heat transfer between two media. The media do not come into direct contact and there is no mixing. Heat is transported from the hot medium to the cold medium by way of a heat conducting partition. In this experiment, we analysed the working principle of parallel and counter flow. We observed different fluid temperatures, fluid flow rates and how this affected the heat exchangers performance. Calculations were needed to determine the variation of the two configurations. There are some possible percentage errors that need to be considered in the experiment, these include the tube changeover from parallel to counter flow, the fluid loss will have an effect on the readings. Also if the unit is not allowed enough time to stabilise when changing the flow rates, the readings will not be accurate. 1"Vh"(L/min) Parallell"flow Counter"flow Vs U"= U"= 3"Vc"(L/min) 2.9"W/m 2 K 3.5"W/m 2 K The percentage difference between the U values is 20.6 %.

...Accountant’s Job; its privileges and its obstacles from so many levels. Like any powerful and specialized job such as Accounting; it has its own shares of gains and losses; from both personal and professional aspects. Although the Accountants after graduation; they don’t struggle a lot for job interviews or bothering themselves where to go! All they need to do actually; is to combine their goal & career’s ambition and match it; with any of the highly powerful corporation; located in the Abu Dhabi; like Deloitte; Ernest &Young; KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Otherwise there are the investment and retail banks; also the companies in all different fields of business recruit Accountants; to supervise their expenses and profits, and calculating earnings and costs. Even after finding Accounting jobs recently or earlier ; my colleges at work can improve their careers greatly by obtaining more qualifications; for example the Chartered Accountant qualification (CA), and Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). Consequently; as I observe around the Finance department; their plans seems fixed as their numbers! They had it all planned from the moment they graduate. So what the Accountant exactly does? In simple words the Accountant; is some who manages the Accounting tasks; for the individuals or to the whole firm. The Accountant takes many tasks according to the company’s size and the Accountant's specialization; which mostly including the tasks of generating Finance...

...Southern Northern Northern Birch Paper Company Birch Paper Company I The Northern Division had designed a display box and asked for bids from their Thompson division and two outside companies. If Thompson winds the bid, they will most likely buy material from the Southern division. When calculating the information provided, Thompson actually has the lowest costs associated with this, and spreads the wealth, if I must say, to other divisions of The Birch Paper Company as well. Mr. Kenton, the Manager of the Northern Division, should not accept the bid from West Paper because it is not in the best interest of the company, but at the same time with the transfer policy that exists, it is really up to him what is in the best interest of his division. Mr. Kenton should accept the bid from Thompson because not only will it result in the lowest cost, but it will encourage buying from within his own company. The Vice president of Birch Paper Company should take action. As if no orders come from top management, Kenton would accept the lowest bid. He should take action in order to fix or repair the overall problems associated with this transfer pricing policy. I do feel that this transfer pricing system is dysfunctional because its focus is to intent on individual sectors...

Detailed method for calculating tube sheet thickness in TEMA and in IS: 4503. Minimum required tube sheet thickness is also specified in the same. Simplified equation is also available for calculating tube sheet thickness. t = FG((0.25 p)/f)^(1/2) Where, t = Effective tube sheet thickness, mm F = constant P = Design pressure, kPa f = Allowable stress of tube sheet material at design temperature, kPa G = Mean diameter of gasket, mm Then thickness of tube sheet T is given by equation T > (t + depth of pass partition groove + tube side corrosion allowance + shell side corrosion allowance) Also > Minimum thickness specified in the standard Tube pitch, tube-layout and tube-count Tube pitch is the shortest centre to centre distance between the adjacent tubes. The tubes are generally placed in square or triangular patterns (pitch). The number of tubes that can be accommodated in a given shell ID is called tube count. The tube count depends on the factors like shell ID, OD of tube, tube pitch, tube layout, number of tube passes, and type of heat exchanger and design pressure. Tube Passes The number of passes is chosen to get the required tube side fluid velocity to obtain greater heat transfer co-efficient and also to reduce scale formation. The tube passes vary from 1 to 16. The tube passes of 1, 2 and 4 are common in application. The partition built...

...Transfer Time 1 Transfer Time and File Size Transfer Time 2 Abstract Calculating Transfer Rate, Transfer Time and File size can be pretty difficult unless one has a basic knowledge of binary numbers and the different types of storage capacities that are out there. In order to figure out how fast a download will take there is some math that needs to be figured out and in this paper I will mention the way to conquer this task. Transfer Time 3 Transfer Time and File Size The very first step to understanding transfer time and file size is to first know that 1 byte is equal to 8 bits as well as what each component is exactly. A bit is defined as:” a single basic unit of information, used in connection with computers and electronic communication”. (Quote, n.d.) A byte is “pronounced ‘bite’, is the next size up basic unit of measurement for information storage, usually consisting of 8 bits”. (Quote, n.d.) The next set of terms that are used is: Kilo (kilobytes) equal to 1,000 bits stated in decimal form or 1,024 bytes stated in binary form. Then we have Mega (megabytes) equal to 1,000,000 decimal bits or 1,048,576 binary bits. Next is one of the bigger bytes and that is Giga (gigabytes) which is equal to 1,000,000,000 decimal bits or 1,073,741,824 binary bits. After figuring out the numbers to these complex bits of information, the next step is to understand the speed of transferring data. This is simply downloading information...

...value is difficult to determine” (Gwartney et al., p. 143). We know that GDP is only measured in a restricted time frame. Imagine all the goods and services that are redistributed in a year’s time that are not included in GDP. Without all factors being counted the values are not precise in nature. In reference to our assigned text household production, the underground economy, leisure and human costs, quality variation and the introduction of new goods, and harmful side effects and economic “bads” are not included in GDP (Gwartney et al., p. 143-145). In an article, titled, “The Gdp how the Gdp is Calculated and what it does not Count”; (Alpha 2007) mentions several specific factors that impact a faulty GDP. As we are aware a lot of the numbers that are documented are retrieved from companies through forms of surveys. “The governments can obviously use this to their advantage by selecting the companies that they know are steady companies and not choose the smaller companies who are more likely to be erratic.” (Alpha 2007) There is an extreme variance between high-end and smaller rural companies. An extreme difference will have a great impact when calculating GDP. When one individual or company transfers payment in the form cash or check it is not included in GDP. When referencing the Education Portal website, (2003-2014) a prime example used is the transfer of welfare checks distributed by the government to an individual. A lot of people use government assistance...

...Case 13-5 Chemical Bank Chemical Bank is a classic case on management control in a commercial bank. One of the key issues is: should branches be set up as profit centers? Discussion: Goals. Although the goals for a branch are described in paragraph 3 of the case, these are probably not a good statement of the goals for the bank as a whole. Although I am sure that the bank as a whole wants to earn satisfactory profits, and to grow in deposits and loans, both of these objectives are really a function of another factor which is an explicit goal of many banks; service to their community. The economic rationale of this high-sounding goal is straightforward; banks make a profit by loaning out the funds entrusted to them by depositors. An increase in loans requires a preceding increase in deposits. But in order to get an increase in deposits, the bank must perform a useful service to businessmen and residents of the community. One of the most important differences between a bank and a manufacturing company are the opportunities for product differentiation. Money is about the most homogeneous product imaginable and, in fact, money is not the bank’s product at all. Its product is service to depositors and borrowers, and it must find imaginative and efficient ways to render better services than its competitors. Organizational structure. Nominally at least, Chemical Bank is decentralized in the operation of its branch banks. Branch managers are told that they are responsible...

...sum of all incomes earned by the country’s residents when producing goods and services with resources located inside that country. GDP is not to be confused with Gross National Product (GNP), which measures the flow of output produced with resources, which are owned by the nation wherever they might be located. The difference between GDP and GNP is net property income from abroad. The word “gross” in both of these measures of national income, indicates that no account has been taken of depreciation. There are 3 methods of calculating GDP: the product/output method, the income method and the expenditure method. In theory, because they all claim to measure the same aggregate, they should all give the same total. This is shown below in the circular flow of income: However, in practice, this is unlikely to be the case. This is because extremely large sums arising out of millions of transactions paid over different time periods are being dealt with and it would therefore be very unlikely if all 3 measures coincided. The first way of measuring GDP is to add up annually all the value of the goods and services produced in the country, industry by industry. This is known as the output or product method. When accumulating the output of firms, it is crucial to avoid double counting. This occurs because the outputs of some firms are the inputs of other firms causing duplication and an inflated figure for GDP. Double counting can be avoided by either...
