effect of demand and technological uncertainty. The methodology relies on a multiple informant survey design with responses from purchasing and production managers in Danish manufacturing companies. Hypotheses are tested using regression analysis based on data collected from 197 firms. Risk management capability is found to increase delivery performance. Unexpectedly, supplier evaluation capability was found to decrease delivery performance. Demand uncertainty has a negative effect on delivery

figures with the photodiode signal and the drive signal. This parametric plot will allow you to find the other frequencies for higher order nodes by observing the symmetry of the parametric plot. The Lissajous figures can be used to record the uncertainty as well by seeing how much the frequency can be changed before there is a visible change in the diagram. Estimate where the frequency might be for each value of n by multiplying the fundamental frequency by n. Find five values of frequency for any
