...Data The table below contains the data that was calculated using a time step of 10 seconds for the first 80 seconds. The data was marched forward in time for a total of 3500 seconds. Using the complete table, a graph was produced showing the temperature for each node as a function of time for the first 3500 seconds of exposure. Located on the graph below the table, I have indicated the location of the node with the highest and lowest temperature in the beam. The graph represents the temperature versus time for each of the 20 nodes. The Fourier equation used for this data at a time step of 10 seconds is: Fo = , where and l^2 = 0.0016m^2 Therefore Fo = 0.0031. The Biot equation used for this data at a time step of 10 seconds is: B = hl/k , where h = 10W/m^2K , l = .04m and k = 0.5 W/mK Therefore B = 0.8 Table 1.

...Chapter 1 Introduction A roundabout is a type of circular intersection or junction in which road traffic is slowed and flows almost continuously in one direction around a central island to several exits onto the various intersecting roads. The Oakes field Roundabout got its name from Sir Harry Oakes who was a Canadian; one of the rich guys that owned the whole area. The Oakes field Roundabout was chosen because it is the busiest roundabout in Nassau, and it leads into a lot of business areas and has 7 schools in that area, commercial banks and also restaurants. The geography coursework was about the study of traffic movement at the Oakesfield roundabout, in Nassau, New Providence which is located near to the College of the Bahamas. The study was done to fulfil coursework requirement for the BGCSE examination in geography. This study was carried out on Friday 20th 2011. Advantages of a roundabout * Reduces frequency and severity of crashes * Can slow excessive traffic speeds while still improving traffic flow * Reduces Traffic Delays * It is a lot easier to make a U-turn Disadvantages of a roundabout * Accidents may temporarily increase due to improper driver education. * During emergencies, signalized intersections can pre-empt control. * As lines develop, drivers accept smaller gaps which may increase crashes. * Possible higher construction cost. The nature of the traffic using the Oakesfield roundabout varies in intensity from one...

.... Discuss the relationship between patient accounts, data flow and charge capture. Patient accounts are the main component of data flow - they are, in essence, the accounts that finance health care and are the data that "flows." Charge capture is the process of capturing all charges, [though it is often susceptible to "charge capture leakage" - an undercharge for services. Charge capture leakage can be minimized by constructing predictive models for charge capture leakage, and comparing these models to the current state of data flow on patient accounts. In sum, patient accounts, data flow, and charge leakage are the process of healthcare finances. Patient accounts are the elements, data flow is the process, and charge capture is the outcome. The relationship between patient accounts, data flow and charge capture is as follows: in order to provide competent medical billing and collections services in a timely and cost effective manner that will maximize the reimbursement revenue at a competitive market price. This guarantees that 98% of claims are paid on first submission and electronic claims are paid within 5 to 14 days, and payments are recovered on aged claims within 30 days . List two reasons why the HIM Department reviews patient medical records. To make sure the information is complete and accurate and ensures all the necessary forms are complete and signed - sort of a quality assurance function.

...INTRODUCTION: The article chosen for the critical review is “ERP Training with a web-based electronic learning system: The flow theory perspective” by: Duke Hyun Choi, Jeoungkun Kim, Soung Hie Kim. The article built strengths from the limitations of previous studies. Based from their range of literatures, they have found a gap in the information delivery system which is the lack of theoretical background. Then, exploration and validation of relationships with its key concepts. Through these boundaries the authors evidently stated their objectives. First, to present flow theory as a theoretical foundation in e-learning domain. Second, assess what student perceptive factors are significant to the key constructs: flow (holistic experience) and attitude towards the learning outcome. Third, develop a comprehensive theoretical framework that can be practiced in the e-learning field. After empirically explored with the help of survey questionnaire answered by the students of the ERP training program supported by Ministry of Korea, the antecedents that revealed directly (learner interface and content) and indirectly (interaction, instructor attitude towards students, instructor technical competence) influence the mediating variables thus affect mastery in ERP usage. Results suggested the inclusion of flow experience as new theoretical background and flow theory as a “promising theoretical foundation”. The article was structured logically and comprehensively. For example, in describing...

...1. List and discuss the barriers to effective communication that managers face. Include specific example of each barrier to support your answer. The barriers to effective communication that managers face that we have found are time, distractions, biases and tools. Time is priceless and should be managed wisely especially when it comes to management. Managers should know their own people in the organization. Managers have to run errand and have a huge responsibility not only for themselves but also to a lot of people they manage. As far as we are concerned, there are few hours in a working a day and days in a week for the people in a particular organization to be gathered in the same place. However, managers can barely find time to communicate effectively to every person in the organization including employees, colleagues, bosses and even customers due to their packed schedule. Next is distractions. In a workplace, it is impossible to find no distractions. Distractions can be in a various types. It can be the employees and customers, telephone calls, emergencies and even company’s crisis. These distractions pull the managers in many ways and directions which can be a barrier towards an effective communication with the targeted audiences. Besides, biases is also one of the barriers found. Managers are also human whom already have naturally developed a judgemental mind since small. So, it would be normal to hear about someone being bias towards a person. It’s just sometimes we...

...Amanda Smith Andrea Sampson ECE 140 – 2697 Video Reflection #1 This particular video discussed how teachers can manage the flow of traffic in their classroom by effectively arranging the furniture in the classroom. Managing the flow of traffic in the classroom is just as important as selecting the needed materials. I have been working in a preschool classroom as an aide since 2009, and this was the first year I was able to give input on placement of the furniture in the classroom. During the summer, I provided the teacher with a general layout of the furniture and the reasoning for the placement of the centers, desks and other furniture. The classroom is free from clutter, the centers are grouped together by active and quiet areas, and the children are provided with a wide variety of toys, manipulatives, books and puzzles. Each center is labeled and the children are assigned a particular center and rotate throughout the centers during the week. Actually, not only are the centers labeled by area but the furniture is labeled with words to help with word recognition. Although this video did not provide me with any new information; it did confirm that the classroom is properly setup to manage the traffic flow. I have had a few years of experience in the classroom and although I was not taught “management of traffic” I have found that I have already been executing and effective traffic pattern in the classroom. The one thing that was suggested to the principal was replacing...

...operating expenses to revenue, improving management of operating costs and decreasing the amount of cash in accounts receivable will improve her immediate cash flow crisis. For details see prior question. 2. To have access to the equity line of credit, the bank required the agency to maintain a cash balance of $20,000 at all times and the liquidation of the loan in its entirety for at least 1 month/year. The cash flow worksheet for the operations of MHHS reveal that the agency meets the requirements set forth by the bank. July is the loan free month due to Ms. Ringer liquidating the loan in June. This is as a result of decreased labor costs in the summer months because of staff vacations and part time salaries that are not paid. Her cash inflows exceed her expenses from January to June, which correlates with peak patient volumes. It appears she requires the line of credit to cover staff salaries and overhead during her quieter summer months. In addition the debt ratio has been steadily increasing since2008 while liquidity ratios have been decreasing putting MHHS at risk. When you review the amount of money in accounts receivable it appears she is borrowing money to pay salaries, as she is not collecting the money owed the agency, in a timely manner, and is cash strapped. The reconciliation of the information on the Cash Flow Worksheet with the...

Since Walnut Venture Associates can only raise $1million, it is imperative that RBS find another source of funding to power through its second phase of business. Considering the prospect of RBS and its well-established relationship with big technology firms, this should not be too much of a problem. Next, RBS will have to enter the third phase of expanding its business in foreign countries should begin in the beginning of fiscal year 2000-2001. Two years after phase two, its revenue flow is projected to become more stable and cash flow turns to profit. Therefore, this seems to be the right time to enter phase three and boost up its value one last time before the exit. Finally, in order for RBS to sustainably carry out its expansion, it should reach a certain level sales, in this case 90% of projected sales, to gain positive cash flow to support further expansion. Exit While the business outlook of RBS seems promising, there are certain concerns innate to the business and therefore I suggest exiting after three years of investment....

...and the automotive industries. It is the seventh largest company listed on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index (SOX). The success of Linear Technology depends on the top of the line engineers and developing high performance products. In 2003, Janus Capital Management was the largest single holder of LT stock. Linear Technology payout policy consists of dividend payout and stock repurchase. LT announced its first dividend on October 13, 1992. The factors contributing to this first dividend payout were the top expectations for the company, a top position in the technology industry and positive cash flows since the company went public. At the time of their first dividend payout, the company seemed to hold a strong position in a very risky market. The company seemed to be growing and maturing. The payout ratio from 1992 to 2002 had been growing at a steady rate, reaching 25% in 2003 (Exhibit 3). A consistent dividend payout seemed like the best option due to the low interest rates offered by LT’s high grade security investments. In addition, the company did not have any plans to make acquisitions, which meant that dividend payout was the best way for the company to increase shareholder value. After analyzing LT’s income statement, revenue growth was relatively stable during 1992-2002. After 2001, LT did experience a large drop in sales, but were able to hold their margins through cost cutting and work shutdowns (Exhibit 2). Their variable cost structure allowed them...

Unlike Xerox and Kleenex, however, eBay has been able to branch out from their initial success into multiple lines of business that are proving to be just as lucrative and allow eBay to continue to expand. As their Annual Report states eBay is now “organized into three businesses: Marketplaces, Payments and Communications. Each is a thriving and successful business in its own right.”(eBay Annual Report 2005, introduction). eBay’s core business remains the online-auction marketplace where $44.3 billion in gross merchandise volume was traded in 2005 (eBay Annual Report 2005, Introduction). eBay’s payment service, PayPal, makes transferring money and accepting payments, both critical to its online auction business...

The role of finance is to assist the corporation in money management. 2. Efficient Market: Is a hypothesis that suggests that market is fair in their pricing. The role of an efficient market is to make it so no person can make a huge return without being risker in their initial investment. 3.

...1.1 Finance plays a key role in the functioning of any organisation because a steady flow of funds is required to make planned expenditure for delivering products and services and the sale of these products and services generates the necessary funds to make a profit. Any activity undertaken by any of the other departments without proper financial consideration can have a detrimental effect. For instance, if the sales team decides to offer extended credit or discounts to increase sales, this will affect cash flow and finance will not be able to collect cash for the business when the need arises. Similarly, purchase may decide to pay suppliers quickly or place bulk orders in order to avail a discount, but there may not be sufficient funds available immediately. This may affect relationship with the suppliers. The financial situation of the company inturn dictates activities of the other departments. For example, if there is a shortage of funds with the finance department, the sales team may not be able to offer prospective customers attractive discounts and extended credit, thereby making the competitors’ offer more attractive. Shortage of funds may also affect marketing thereby reducing overall income. Also prioritisation of planned projects will be required and this may affect overall strategy of the company. Hence a two-way dependence is observed. In order to avoid such problems, it is therefore important to have effective communication between the finance and other departments...

... Acc 561 David Kochevar October 27, 2012 Knowing a business and what they go through to keep it up and running is a lot of work to do and a lot to deal with. I was always told that being a consumer is the easiest part of a business. Consumers just have to deal with the products and services they receive. On the other hand the companies have to provide products and services and yet make sure they are able to. To maintain a steady company a business would have to keep their business financially set in order to provide what the consumers need. Therefore the four financial statements help maintain and create more business for the companies. These statements are income statement, statement of changes in equity, balance sheet and statement of cash flow. The income statement, which is also known to be the statement of earnings or order of operations, gets prepared first. It lists revenues and expenses and calculates the company's net income or net loss for a period of time. The statement of changes in equity is prepared after the income statement. It shows the beginning and ending of the equity balances and the items affecting the equity during the period. It also explains the changes of the company's equity throughout the reporting period but it only shows the total net income or loss. The balance...
