...Unit 3 – Project Polarity Paper (Individual and Team) Polarity Paper (Individual and Team) 1. Polarities and polarity management A. Before you can learn about how the polarity management model works, you must first be able to understand what polarities actually are. Polarities are issues that are continuous and you can’t solve them or avoid them. Polarities are opposites which function best when both are present to balance with each other (Johnson, 1998). It is important to remember that a polarity is different than a problem, because a problem is something you solve and a polarity is something that you address and manage (Caldwell, 2011). Since this is the case you must find a different approach to deal with polarities or else things will just end up worse than they were. When using the polarity management model properly, it will make it much easier for those in charge to manage the polarities that they are dealing with. It also works the best when you It might be a little confusing at first for someone new to use the polarity management model efficiently, but it will help out tremendously when they do figure it out and they can handle the polarities they acknowledged. The most important thing to remember though is that polarities can’t be solved or fixed; the only way to deal with them is to find the best way to manage them efficiently (Caldwell, 2011). 2.

...RUNNING HEAD: Polarity Skills Project: Polarity Paper Unit Three Polarity Skills Project: Polarity Paper Kaplan University GB500 Business Perspectives February 18, 2013 Polarities and Polarity Management Polarity management has been defined as a style of supervising that tackles conflict resolution on unsolvable problems. It places pressure on the importance of recognizing that some situations don't have solutions. It shows a “varied way of understanding complex problems and simplifying them “offering a both/and perspective to the either/or viewpoint” (Catalyst Training, 2013). It appears to try to take advantage of gleaning the best from opposing viewpoints when it comes to dilemmas, contradictions, or polarities. Most complex problems don’t have a specific solution. Thus, the task of becoming an effective leader is dependent upon one’s ability to recognize and then manage those complex problems. Polarity management has the ability to present a unique set of principles that will test anyone to view a situation in a new light, especially when you’re dealing with a team, whether virtual or standard. “These situations are not problems to solve; they are polarities which require effective management. Leaders, teams, and organizations become more effective as they learn to distinguish between the two and deal productively with both” (Johnson 2006). To be an effective leader of a team or an organization, management has to be able to manage unavoidable and unsolvable...

...KUMARAGURU COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY AUTOMOBILES USING ELECTRONIC VALVE CONTROL PRESENTED BY S.MADHUVANTH (3rd MCE) (vanth7@gmail.com) (9940899266) & S.ASWIN KUMAR (3rd MCE) (aswin_634@gmail.com) (9894635982) ABSTRACT: Since cars have become an integral part of human life, there is a need for increasing the overall efficiency of the cars. Thus it includes increasing the fuel efficiency, performance, pickup, etc. In this paper we are introducing the electronic control of closing and opening of the valves in the engine. In the conventional car engines, opening and closing of the valves are controlled using a overhead cam shaft. We are replacing it by electronically controlled actuators. INTRODUCTION: An electronic valve control (EVC) system replaces the mechanical camshaft, controlling each valve with actuators for independent valve timing. The EVC system controls the opening and closing time and lift amount of each intake and exhaust valve with independent actuators on each valve. Changing from a mechanical camshaft driven valve into independently controlled actuator valves provides a huge amount of flexibility in engine control strategy. Conventional internal combustion engines includes a camshaft and associated linkages to open and close intake and exhaust valves during operation. Since the valve timing is determined during design and manufacturing and remains constant throughout the engine life, there is no room for...

...the battery he was using switched on and off. This deflection convinced him that magnetic fields radiate from all sides of wire carrying an electric current, just as light and heat do, and that it confirmed a direct relationship between electricity and magnetism. He published his findings, proving that an electric current produces a magnetic field as it flows through a wire. The CGS unit of magnetic induction is named in honor of his contributions to the field of electromagnetism. The magnetic field encircles this straight piece of current- carrying wire, the magnetic flux lines having no definite “north” or “south” poles. While the magnetic field surrounding a current- carrying wire is indeed interesting, it is quiet weak for common amounts of current, able to deflect a compass needle and not much more. To create a stronger magnetic field force (and consequently, more field flux) with the same amount of electric current, we can wrap the wire into a coil shape, where the circling magnetic fields around the wire will join to create a larger field with a definitemagnetic (north and south) polarity; the amount of magnetic field force generated by a coiled wire is proportional to the current through the wire multiplied by the number of “turns” or “wraps” of wire in the coil. This field force is called magneto motive force (mmf), and is very much analogous to electromotive force (E) in an electric circuit. * Some experiments that are related...

...system of tiny fibers causing movements in the brain, which pulls on other fibers to muscles—which is the basis of the stimulus and response theory in modern physiology.”3 In this case, the mind is essentially a brain, and the brain is a physical entity—the mind equals the brain. The human brain can be seen, touched, held, felt, and smelt. It is an organ. Without your brain, you cannot have a mind. The mind does not exist without there being a brain in place. The brain consists of neurons, synapses, electrical impulses, etc. which are all physical entities. Without these physical processes happening, one cannot have thoughts. Without thoughts, there is no mind. With that being said, the contradiction is as goes; that the mind is a physical entity composed of brain cells, neurons, synapses, and electrical firing signals. In this way, the mind is essentially transferring energy (for example, 10 units of energy) to another physical system, the brain. If this is happening, energy itself is physical because it is electric matter composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons--therefore, a proponent of the mind is being transferred and reflected through electrical energy, through the neurons and synapses, throughout the brain, to the nervous system, and throughout the physical human body, concluding that the mind adds 10 units of physical energy to a physical...

Double Input Converters (DICs) are special case of Multiple Input Converters where available MICs usually have complex configuration and numerous transformer windings. The proposed converters have advantages of simple architecture, soft-switching realization, and high conversion efficiency compared with available MICs. In this paper, the operating principle of DIC composed of two buck PVSC is analyzed. The open loop and closed loop simulation of the proposed converter is carried out and verified. Multi input converters play a key role in such hybridized systems, where it is required to have more than one power source. A multiple input converter is a circuit that accommodates input of more than one energy sources which are of the pulsating voltage source cells (PVSC),and provides at least one output. Such technologies can find application in residential, aerospace, automotive, portable electronics and any other application where...

...DEVEOLPMENT OF BIOMETRICALLY CONTROLLED DOOR SYSTEM (USING IRIS), WITH POWER BACKUP ABSTRACT Doors are known to provide major functions such as protection, safety to a building or place from any invasion. Therefore, the capability of a door system to provide privacy and security when demanded is worthwhile. Automatic door is a new way of creating doors without the need to manually apply force in the case of doors with handles or keys. Using a computer to control the opening and closing of the door with the use of programming skills makes the door more flexible and adaptable to changes when required. The biometrics technology based on Iris recognition can be used in the development and automation of security doors. Biometrics as a form of software technology is applicable in automation to create security and restrict unrecognized assessment of the machine infrastructure. Biometrics is a human identification/authentication technology based on physical, biological, and behavioral characteristics. These characteristics include face, fingerprint, iris, voice, and hand geometry. Compared to traditional authentication methods, biometrics is more reliable and convenient. Among them, it is reported that iris is one of the most reliable biometrics. The major construction of the door prototype with electric circuit design was carried out and the development of an iris recognition software using MATLAB to interface with the...

...------------------------------------------------- Gas chromatography Gas chromatography (GC), is a common type of chromatography used in analytical chemistry for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition. Typical uses of GC include testing the purity of a particular substance, or separating the different components of a mixture (the relative amounts of such components can also be determined). In some situations, GC may help in identifying a compound. In preparative chromatography, GC can be used to prepare pure compounds from a mixture.[1][2] In gas chromatography, the mobile phase (or "moving phase") is a carrier gas, usually an inert gas such as helium or an unreactive gas such as nitrogen. The stationary phase is a microscopic layer of liquid or polymer on an inert solidsupport, inside a piece of glass or metal tubing called a column (a homage to the fractionating column used in distillation). The instrument used to perform gas chromatography is called a gas chromatograph (or "aerograph", "gas separator"). The gaseous compounds being analyzed interact with the walls of the column, which is coated with a stationary phase. This causes each compound to elute at a different time, known as the retention time of the compound. The comparison of retention times is what gives GC its analytical usefulness. Gas chromatography is in principle similar to column chromatography (as well as other forms of chromatography, such as HPLC, TLC), but has...

...interaction of the rigid lithosphere. Geomorphological hazard – an event causing harm to people or property, caused by Geomorphological processes e.g. plate tectonic movement. Francis Bacon 1620 As far back as 1620, Francis Bacon spotted that the west coast of Africa and the east coast of South America looked as if they would fit together, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Between then and 1912 other people identified further similarities between other continental coastlines. Robert Mallet 1870s Robert Mallet was a nineteenth century scientist who managed to measure the speed at which earthquakes spread. Alfred Wegner 1911 While at Marburg, in the autumn of 1911, Wegener was browsing in the university library when he came across a scientific paper that listed fossils of identical plants and animals found on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Intrigued by this information, Wegener began to look for, and find, more cases of similar organisms separated by great oceans. Orthodox science at the time explained such cases by postulating that land bridges, now sunken, had once connected far-flung continents. But Wegener noticed the close fit between the coastlines of Africa and South America. Might the similarities among organisms be due, not to land bridges, but to the continents having been joined together at one time? As he later wrote: "A conviction of the fundamental soundness of the idea took root in my mind." Such an insight, to be accepted, would require large amounts of supporting evidence...

Cutitul de Argint nr. 5, RO-752121, Bucharest, Romania gmaris@aira.astro.ro 2 Armagh Observatory College Hill, Armagh, BT61 9DG, N. Ireland mdp@star.arm.ac.uk (Received May 30, 2003) Abstract. We present a review of different solar flare periodicity intervals. Our analysis includes a statistical investigation of flare occurrence and N hemispheric distribution over the last three 11-yr -S solar cycles (SCs 21-23, correspondin g to the period 1976-2001). Moreover, we try to estimate if there is any connection between the flare activity and the strength of solar cycles. For that purpose, we studied not only the number of flares occurring monthly and annually, but we also used two indices that estimate the energy emitted by flares registered in the optical Hα line, as well as in the soft X -ray 1-8 Å band. The strange behaviour of SC 22 descending phase, with short but intense increments in flare activity, having a high degree of N-S asymmetry, could be the cause of the "abnormal" appearance of SC 23. The new magnetic dipole begins to lose part of its energy even during the descending phase of SC 22, so that the activity of SC 23 proves to be below the predicted values. Key words: Sun − solar flares – solar activity cycles − N-S asymmetry. INTRODUCTION Solar flares are wonderfully complex phenomena, seen as...
