AT&T Michael Porter: Five Forces: (1) The threat of the entry of new competitors: Low. Because new entries do have to invest lots of money to facilities so than they services can cover wide range in order to compete with the exited companies, there are several companies that can entry to this industry at ease. It is obviously that the threat of the new competitors is low. (2) The threat of substitute products or services: High. The customers may select fixed phone or online communication

How Planes Stay Up In the Air I remember a picnic with Becky, my girlfriend, at Maidu Park five years ago. We lied on the lush green turf and held hands as we watched the clouds drift by. We were captivated and intrigued by the definitions in the clouds as we matched them to shapes of animals and other objects. She pointed towards a blanket of clouds on the right and said, “There! That one looks like a dragon.” Right at that moment, a plane flew right above us as it cut through clouds. She quickly

“Electromagnetic Piston Engine,” invented by Muneaki Takara and filed in 1997. The invention describes an electromagnetic piston engine that produces enough force to propel a vehicle using the reciprocal motion of a piston cylinder, which is itself propelled by electromagnetic force. The problem that this patent solves is the ability to produce the driving force necessary without the numerous types of resistance that inherently occur in internal combustion engines. In the electromagnetic piston engine, the

study the motion of objects in the real three-dimensional world we are well prepared for that undertaking. The case studies in this chapter include motion when the net force is constant (we study the local gravitational force near the Earth), one-dimensional motion of an object in a fluid (where we show that there are frictional forces that vary with time), and the oscillatory motion of an object attached to a spring. After learning something about springs, we next consider the deformation of an elastic

Galileo was born in Pisa (then part of the Duchy of Florence), Italy in 1564, the first of six children of Vincenzo Galilei, a famous lutenist, composer, and music theorist; and Giulia Ammannati. Galileo was named after an ancestor, Galileo Bonaiuti, a physician, university teacher and politician who lived in Florence from 1370 to 1450. Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the scientific revolution. Galileo has been called
