...Level of Development and Level of Detail came into play with the advancement of computers and BIM technology. As the AEC industry began move towards using computer renditions for design and analysis, it became necessary to define the certainty with which drawings could be trusted. The detailing of elements changes throughout the duration of a project, so it is important for the team to be able to recognize what level of detail is provided and how trustworthy it is. For this reason, different levels of development were created to allow for a standardized system of analyzing drawings and details. Level of Development vs. Level of Detail The level of Development (LOD) enables construction teams to specify and distinguish the content and reliability of Building Information Models at various stages of the design and construction process with high levels of clarity and reliability. The LOD describes the minimum dimensional, spatial, quantitative, and qualitative data included in a Model Element to support the authorized uses associated with such LOD. Since each Model Element develops at a different rate, the Level of Development (LOD) framework allows the project team to understand the progression of a Model Element from conceptual idea to precise final definition and description. The LOD of a given Model Element informs other Project Participants how developed the information is expected to be. This allows participants to extent to decipher which that information can be relied...

...Marketing Jenny McFarlen MKT/421 Diane E. O’Brien October 19, 2009 Marketing is everywhere. There is not one single day that a person can wake up and not see an item that has been publicly marketed. The food we eat, the clothes we wear and the vehicle that we take to work everyday is a constant reminder of marketing and all the effort that was put into it for that product to become popular. Most jobs today have a form of marketing used that enhances the chance of that company being profitable and popular. Marketing is not just about selling a product. In much more detail, marketing allows a producer to put their product out publicly based on factors that are relative to the product. In order to determine this, the producer must evaluate the selling area and find out things such as the needs of the people who could potentially buy their product, find out the different types of the product that might be needed, get an estimation of how many people might buy the product and find out what parts of the world would use what is being produced. Marketing is also about determining a selling price and ensuring that a profit can be made after production costs. Promotion is also important to show customers what the product is about. Competition is affiliated as it enables a producer to determining how strong the market might be (Perreault & McCarthy, 2005) Marketing can also be defined as an activity or strategy that enables products to be available to consumers. Not only does...

...Mark SMith 9/24/13 Eng 226 (MM1) bill paxton Rhetorical Analysis Is It In You? In 1965, on a hot summer day at the University of Florida, researchers developed a new sports drink to help replenish player’s bodily fluids that they sweat out during athletic competitions. The new drink was named Gatorade, giving reference to the schools’ mascot, the Florida Gators. The drink contained water, electrolytes and a carbohydrate that helps boost players bodily fluids back to normal. Gatorade is now the most popular sports drink on the market and can be found for sale at almost any convenience store. One way Gatorade became so popular is their advertisements. Gatorade works to persuade their customers in their ads by making the consumer believe in themselves, by showing how drinking Gatorade is the best decision and by using professional athletes to promote their products. The specific Gatorade ad I am breaking down makes the consumer want to drink Gatorade before, during and after sports events and shows how Gatorade gives you everything you need in a sport drink. Gatorade has been replenishing and refueling athletes for some time now. In 2010 Gatorade introduced their new G Series line of Gatorade, which has three different segments of Gatorade: The Prime 01, the Perform 02 and the Recover 03. I will be discussing the G Series in specific. The ad shows athletes from different sports, drinking the segments of the G Series at the appropriate times. Underneath each of the athletes...

Pillai, Rangan Banerjee* Department of Energy Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Powai, Mumbai 400076, India a r t i c l e i n f o Article history: Received 16 May 2007 Received in revised form 20 August 2008 Accepted 15 October 2008 Available online xxx Keywords: Renewable Energy Diffusion Potential India a b s t r a c t A majority of the Indian population does not have access to convenient energy services (LPG, electricity). Though India has made significant progress in renewable energy, the share of modern renewables in the energy mix is marginal. This paper reviews the status and potential of different renewables (except biomass) in India. This paper documents the trends in the growth of renewables in India and establishes diffusion model as a basis for setting targets. The diffusion model is fitted tot the past trends for wind, small hydro and solar water heating and is used to establish future targets. The economic viability and green house gas (GHG) saving potential is estimated for each option. Several renewables have high growth rates, for example wind, Photovoltaic (PV) module manufacture and solar water heaters. New technologies like Tidal, OTEC, Solar thermal power plants and geothermal power plants are at the demonstration stage and future dissemination...
