...inspection in-house or we can outsource it. In our situation the main advantage of performing the inspection in-house is that we will have direct control over the inspection. While the main disadvantages are that we do not have the man-power or special tools that might be needed. The main advantages of outsourcing the inspection are that the inspection can be completed much faster by technicians that perform it regularly and have all of the special equipment necessary. Taking everything into consideration I recommend that we outsource the inspection. Should Pacific Jet outsource the 72 month inspection? This is the first 72 month inspection that our 135 charter company (Pacific Jet) has coming due. Since we are a small operation with only 3 aircraft and 4 maintenance technicians performing a 72 month inspection in-house will be a huge undertaking. The main items to consider are costs, aircraft downtime, and quality control issues. We have to decide if we want to perform this inspection in-house our outsource it. The airlines have been outsourcing maintenance for decades and have accelerated this outsourcing rapidly since 2001. In 2005, some airlines outsourced as much as 62 percent of their maintenance and that number continues to grow. While they have increased their outsourcing of maintenance their accident rates have declined, statistically proving that outsourced maintenance is safe (Armstrong, 2007). There are many companies that could perform...

For this technique, a calibration equation has been developed based on the relationship between the measured moisture content obtained by the oven drying method and the phase of the reflection coefficient of the sensor for 21 fruits. The moisture content predicted by the sensor was in good agreement with that obtained using the standard oven drying method within Æ5% accuracy when tested on 145 different fruits samples.

...Question 1 Part A: (i): (ii)(iii)(iv): (iii): If the price for the orange set at 6, the market will provide 110 oranges per day while the demand for that will be just 60,so it means that we have surplus of 50 oranges per day. Because the equilibrium price is 5, so when the price increase the market provide larger amount of oranges to make more profit while the number of costumer decrease in order to the price. (it is in the previous diagram) (iv): In this case if the price set at 3, the market will provide just 80 oranges per day but the demand for orange will be 180 because the price is cheap so costumer want to buy more of it, On the other hand sellers don't want to sell orange because if the price will be low, the amount of profit would be low for them. (it is in the previous diagram) (v):In the case of increasing in demand it will affected on price and also quantity of supply, here demand increase by 40 cases so it means that we have shortage of 40 and equilibrium rise to the approximately 108 and price increase to about 5.80. The reason for this action would be several factors, for example increases in population, so number of buyers will be increase or market export this goods to the new country Another reason is change in tastes, for instance some product would be popular for period of time as a result of advertising or fashion and so forth, so it may increase the demand (vi): if government give subsidy the supply curve shift...

...Strategy and Planning MGT/521 Strategy and Planning Business, an ever changing game for the existence of service providers and product innovators. Competition is steep in most cases, and as quickly a distinct product or service is introduced, the market floods with the same, better version. The environmental climate in business fluctuates, political and regulatory landscape changes whether conducting business in the US or overseas. From small neighborhood business to global business, there is no avoidance from these impacts, and the overall objective is simple; to grow, to profit, and be competitive. A business must have a roadmap, a set of guidelines to provide direction. This is “the plan”, a strategy of an organization. Having a solid strategy can be the game changer for the success of a business. The strategy maps out the objectives and goals which align with the organizations vision. The following discusses the three types of goals, and suggests why these goals are important to the strategy of an organization. The content will discuss types of planning as they are important to the strategy, as well as examine elements and factors involved in creating an effective strategy. Three Types of Goals Goals may be defined as a set of steps to reach on common goal. However there are types of goals which are used to achieve specific objectives, and designed for each level of hierarchy. There are short term goals, goals which are intermediate, and the long term goals...

It is, ranked greatly in terms of the major criteria including education opportunities, average life expectancy at the birth, and the gross national income per capita. The country has actually become one of the very influential players in Gulf region. The country’s lack of corruption and high living standards makes it one of the best countries in the planet. Over the past ten years, Qatar has offered the world with economic success story, which amazed many people. A country with very harsh climatic conditions, small size of approximately 11,600 square kilometers in size, and population of around 1.9 million has been able to achieve very big things. There is an argument that Qatar will actually remain a leader in the gulf region in the future because of various reasons including: o Extensive development in infrastructure o Increase in gas depository’s discoveries o Technological advancement in gas production o Strong alliance with external powers o Surrounding by unstable countries o The country has reoriented its positions to remain a sovereign political player o The country great support for its dominant religion (Islamic) keeps it moving o Its short term political threats profile remains amongst the most established in the region. “Qatar extensive developments in infrastructures leading to increase...

...other historical events such as the Rosa Parks bus boycott, KKKs, the assassin of Martin Luther King Jr., and etc. These historical events are significant because it demonstrates how racism fuels violence through anger and hatred and impacts the community as a whole by not necessarily having an opinion of their own. The small rural segregated town, Wade, began establishing social patterns after the Reconstruction period. In Separate Pasts, McLaurin illustrates some of the disadvantages the black community had to face during an era segregation existed and how the system of segregation was challenged through the personal relationships he had formed. During the 1950s in the small town Wade of North Carolina, everything was calm and tranquil because there were no media to broadcast the black and white community and the blacks were accepting of the standards. However, once protesters started becoming more noticed up and down the streets of Wade, and the blacks started challenging the systems against racism and segregation. The black community fell into a horrible stereotype of being barbaric, uncivilized, and uncultured. The African Americans also had very small power and authority compared to the whites. They were constantly working and doing chores for the whites when asked like help with cooking, cleaning, farming, and etc. For these reasons a black in Wade to have challenged openly and directly the segregationist regime would have been unthinkable and if resentment was expressed...

...world are changing, especially in the marketing department. Weather the business is a large one, for example Wall Mart or just small local businesses that are family owned and operated, such as Wayne’s Drive Inn. The main point of any business is to focus on what the customers need is and to make sure they are satisfied with the quality of service that the business is providing. Businesses need to provide their employees on the front line with proper training, which means those employees that have contact and interact with customers on daily basis’s, weather face to face or verbally must be able to offer the amount of service required. Training is also important for business’s employees because those are the people your customers deal with, and also those employees are the face of the business. Therefore a businesses selection of employees can either make or break ones business. “Well, the Harvard Business Review reports that if you can prevent 5% of your customers from leaving you, you can increase yourbottom line profit by 25 – 95%. 82% of lost clients go somewhere else because of a customer service issue!” (As cited in Why is customer service so important? 2007.)

...of the late Cretaceous (end of the dinosaur era) and how it may have contributed to the extinction events that occurred at the end of this era. I will also discuss how scientists determine the composition of ancient atmospheres. The Cretaceous period was from 145 to 65.5 million years ago. You had the early cretaceous epoch and the late cretaceous epoch. Mass extinction happened and comprised of 80-90% of marine species and 85% of land species, including the dinosaurs. About half of all life-forms died out, including the dinosaurs, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, ammonites, and many families of fish, snails, sponges, sea urchins (Benton, 2003). The meteor impact inhibited photosynthesis. The atmosphere was filled with dust cloud which blocked the sunlight for at least a year. Sulfuric acid was injected into the stratosphere. This also created a reduction in sunlight to the Earth by 20%. Because the atmosphere was filled with this acid and dust clouds the plant life and small creatures would die off. It takes at least 10 years for the atmosphere to clear itself of these pollutants. An impact such as this can also produce acid rain. There are many animals that can not handle acid rain. Therefore, this would also play a part in extinction of species. (www.tulane.edu). When it comes to how scientists determine the composition of ancient atmospheres, I found the following; “Ages of ice samples found on the Earth cover a span approaching 200,000 years. Gas bubbles trapped in that...
