As you can see, the fan cart is set at a constant position of 2.0 meters away from the motion detector. Velocity and acceleration are zero as the cart is not moving. Region 2: A change in motion is occurring. As the cart begins to move, the position of the cart moves closer to the detector. Velocity and acceleration are at a negative slope because the direction is changed from no movement to movement. Region 3: The fan cart is moving at a constant speed and direction towards the detector. Slope for velocity becomes positive as the speed is now greater than zero. Acceleration is constant. Region 4: The fan cart has now moved to a closer position to the motion detector. Velocity and Acceleration is at zero because there is no movement. Regions of Graph 3: Region 1- The fan cart is at a constant position as it is not moving. Since the position is just less than 2 meters away from the detector, we know the fan cart is not directly in front of the motion detector. There is no acceleration. Region 2- The fan cart begins to gradually accelerate...

...1. Introduction There is a resurgence in the trait personality approach to understanding work-related behaviour and performance (for a current review, see Burch & Anderson, 2008). In particular, there is growing interest in the personality of leaders. For example, a recent meta-analysis into the trait-leadership relationship found leadership to be positively correlated with extraversion, openness, conscientiousness, and negatively related to neuroticism (Judge, Bono, Ilies, & Gerhardt, 2002). While there is this developing literature considering the ‘normal’ personality of leaders, another literature is growing alongside – that of the ‘dark side’ of leadership personality, that is, more negatively connotated traits (e.g., Hogan & Hogan, 2001). The study of the ‘dark side’ of personality has an important role in helping organizations identify those with the potential for ‘derailment’, deviant behaviours, and poor work performance (e.g., Furnham and Taylor, 2004, Hogan and Hogan, 2001 and Moscoso and Salagdo, 2004). Within this literature, a relationship between the ‘dark side’ and transformational leadership has often been alluded to (see Parry & Proctor-Thomson, 2002), yet there is limited empirical research investigating this relationship. Transformational leadership has been described by Bass and Avolio (2004) as encouraging other people to perform and develop beyond what is normally expected of them, and differs from transactional leadership, which refers to...

...UMUC Haircuts Business Analysis University of Maryland Abstract UMUC Haircuts is a struggling business near the university campus. Myra Morningstar has expanded her business over the last 20 years to men’s and women’s hair and currently operates the three chair salon while employing seven part time employees. This outdated business suffers from a lack of organization amongst employees, lack of supply coordination, inventory management, lacks marketing and customer relations. New business within the area could potentially take clients away from UMUC Haircuts without proper change. Concerns UMUC Haircuts has a steady customer return with scheduled appointments and many walk-ins. Due to scheduling conflicts with part-time employees the walk-in clients are often turned away. These clients can then go to one of the hair care places in the local area and this issue will dramatically increase once a the new Hair Cuttery opens up potentially taking clients away. Inventory management is non-existent with employees using supplies when needed and orders only happening on a “remembered” basis. If inventory of hair care supplies is depleted, employees will not be able to satisfy the consumer thus ensuring their return. Supply chain management is also in need of assistance. Due to UMUC Haircuts sporadic ordering habits and often under pressure orders, the lowest price is not always attained. UMUC Haircuts has no marketing plan in place and customer’s information is not...

...Macro Environment Analysis Definition Macro environment analysis is a review of all the factors that a company is unable to control. Companies conduct this analysis to stay aware of the issue in the current business environment. A common tool for conducting a macro environment analysis is the PESTEL framework, which include factors from the political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal aspects in the business environment. The ultimate purpose of this analysis is to create a strategy that will leverage as many of these external factors as possible to the company’s favor. The political factors of the PESTEL analysis include the current stability of the government, social welfare policies imposed upon companies, trade tariffs or regulations that restrict international business and tax policies on corporate profits. This information is quite important to businesses, as extremely difficult political situations often result in lower profits and a more inflexible business environment. A macro environment analysis may focus heavily on the political factors in countries with difficult business environments. The group of external factors for this analysis comes from the economic factors within a country. Companies are unable to control issues like the income of buyers in the market, available credit offered by banks, unemployment, interest rates and inflation found in the economic market. These factors can also affect the company, lowering purchasing power...

...MARKET STRUCTURE INDICATORS It’s a type of Technical Analysis. Technical Analysis is a method of chart analysis, usually of price, using various formulae designed to highlight specific characteristics and provide signals to help forecast market movements. Indicators can also be derived from the use of trendlines and price patterns, which are not based on formulae and are more subjective. The idea is to predict the future price levels, or simply the general price direction, of a security by looking at past patterns. How is it different form Fundamental Analysis? Market Structure Indicators (Technical Indicators or Technicals) are distinguished by the fact that they do not analyze any part of the fundamental business, like earnings, revenue and profit margins. They are used most extensively by active traders in the market, as they are designed primarily for analyzing short-term price movements. To a long-term investor, most technical indicators are of little value, as they do nothing to shed light on the underlying business. The most effective uses of technicals for a long-term investor are to help identify good entry and exit points for the stock by analyzing the long-term trend. Technical analysts believe that the historical performance of stocks and markets are indications of future performance. Eg: In a shopping mall, a fundamental analyst would go to each store, study the product that was being sold, and then decide whether to buy it or not. By contrast, a technical...

...factory, and sell any remaining inventories. As this is a short life-cycle product, managers expect that demand during the 268 day period will grow as customers discover the product, eventually level out, and then decline. In the initial months, demand is expected to grow at a roughly linear rate. Demand is then expected to stabilize. Eventually, demand should begin to decline at a roughly linear rate. Although orders arrive randomly to LT, management expects that, on average, demand will follow the trends outlined above. Management’s main concern is managing the capacity of the factory in response to the complex demand pattern. Delays resulting from insufficient capacity undermine LT’s promised lead times and ultimately force LT to turn away orders. In particular, if an order’s lead time exceeds the quoted lead time, then the revenue for that order decreases linearly, from $1000 for the quoted lead time (24 hours) to $0 for the maximum lead time (72 hours). Assignment It is now mid-February 2006, and LT has started to notice that a few of their receivers have been delivered after their due dates. In response, management has installed a high-powered operations...

...Poetry assignment By: Bleon Acquainted with the night By: Robert frost I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain. I have out walked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat and dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height, A luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night. Analysis The man in this story has walked at night a lot. He’s walked both away and back, probably his home, in the rain. He has walked out in to the city, and past the lights, maybe out of the city, and he’s looked down lonely, dark streets. The man has walked by a watch man, and look at him because he didn’t want to say why he was there, not even with a glance. The man stops because he wants to listen to a voice calling from the other street. He hoped the voice was calling for him. The man looks up at a clock, which probably is the moon, he was not satisfied with the time it showed. He ends by referring to the first line of the poem. I picked this picture for the poem because it connects so well with the poem...

...In this activity you will be asked to use Faraday’s Law to explain why the current induced in a coil and thus the voltage across it changes the way it does when the north or south pole of rod shaped magnet is moved into and then back out of the center of a coil of wire at various speeds. No calculations are required in this activity, just thinking! Figure 1: The north pole of a cylindrical magnet is: (a) moving into the center of a coil of wire; (b) reversing direction; and then (c) moving out of the coil. The coil’s voltage vs. time is recorded with a computer interfaced voltage probe. Theoretical Review: According to Faraday’s Law, at any moment the induced emf (denoted ) across a conducting loop with N turns is equal to –N times the rate of change of the magnetic flux passing through the area enclosed by the loop as described in Eq. 1. (Faraday’s Law) [Eq. 1] Figure 1 shows our rod shaped magnet moving along the coil’s symmetry axis. The plane bounded by the coil has an area, A, and is perpendicular to the axis along which the magnet is moving. Even if the magnetic flux passing through the coil is not uniform or constant, we only need to keep track of how much flux passes through the...

...ABSTRACT The research question of this study is whether the weighted moving average as a technical method and simple trading plan as a fundamental approach can help Indonesian trader and/or investor in gaining consistent profit. The finding of this study will be useful to all the traders because it will show whether the usage of both fundamental and technical analysis will give better result than just using one of them as an analysis method. Upon answering the research question, researchers went through a deductive cross-sectional study by surveying companies in the Indonesia stock exchange to explain the effect of using both technical and fundamental analysis to analyze the price fluctuation of stocks. The data collection method is quantitative data collection by taking the sample of 5 companies from 5 different sector industries and then analyze the data gathered using the proposed analyzing technique: technical and fundamental analysis method. Keywords : Technical analysis, Fundamental analysis, Stock price I. Introduction Like any other countries around the world, Indonesia has a financial market that consists of several investment choices available for public, such as: Stocks, Bonds, Foreign Exchange, Futures, etc. Those investment choices have different level of liquidity, risk and return profile. Stocks are one of the basic types of investment based on the corporate venture. Moreover stocks are popular for Indonesian investors and traders because it gives...

...Box-Jenkins Methodology Introduction Forecasting Basics: The basic idea behind self-projecting time series forecasting models is to find a mathematical formula that will approximately generate the historical patterns in a time series. Time Series: A time series is a set of numbers that measures the status of some activity over time. It is the historical record of some activity, with measurements taken at equally spaced intervals (exception: monthly) with a consistency in the activity and the method of measurement. Approaches to time Series Forecasting: There are two basic approaches to forecasting time series: the self-projecting time series and the cause-and-effect approach. Cause and effect methods attempt to forecast based on underlying series that are believed to cause the behavior of the original series. The self-projecting time series uses only the time series data of the activity to be forecast to generate forecasts. This latter approach is typically less expensive to apply and requires far less data and is useful for short to medium-term forecasting. Box-Jenkins Forecasting Method: The univariate version of this methodology is a self- projecting time series forecasting method. The underlying goal is to find an appropriate formula so that the residuals are as small as possible and exhibit no pattern. The model- building process involves four steps. Repeated as necessary, to end up with a specific formula that...
