design competition organised as part of the Young Defence Scientist Programme, which called for participants to design and build a “next generation flyer”. The competition not only involved the understanding of scientific theories, but it also requires the application of those theories to a design project. Tweaking design parameters, building and rebuilding physical models, meeting numerous failures and seeing my design successfully taking off for the first time was part and parcel of what I truly enjoyed

© Michael Lacewing Ra wls a nd No zick on jus tic e RAWLS: JUSTICE AND THE SOCIAL CONTRACT John Rawls’ theory of distributive justice (A Theory of Justice) is based on the idea that society is a system of cooperation for mutual advantage between individuals.

Chapter 7 - Positive Theory Positive Accounting Theory Philosophy of PAT Million Friedman championed positive theories in economics. He stated that: (part 3 Empirical Research in Accounts of Accounting theory from Jayne Godfrey) The ultimate goal of positive science (i.e. INDUCTIVE) is • The development of a ‘theory ‘ or ‘hypothesis’; • that yields valid and meaningful “Predictions’ • about phenomena not yet “observed”. Consistent with Friedman’s view, Watts and Zimmerman asserts that:

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF SUPPLY CHAIN 1. RESEARCH AREA The importance of operations logistics and supply chain management has shown a tremendous growth in the past decade. One main area which remains underestimated and not taken care of by supply chain practitioners is sustainability management. The practice of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is still untouched by many organizations and not fully understood by many practicing companies. So this led to increasing

Optimal Power Allocation in Multi-Relay MIMO Cooperative Networks: Theory and Algorithms Abstract Cooperative networking is known to have significant potential in increasing network capacity and transmission reliability. Although there have been extensive studies on applying cooperative networking in multi-hop ad hoc networks, most works are limited to the basic three-node relay scheme and single-antenna systems. These two limitations are interconnected and both are due to a limited theoretical
