Hertz

This is due to the fact that the consumer is not afraid to switch to another similar product if it is cheaper. Some examples of close substitutes would be Coke and Pepsi, McDonalds and Burger Kings hamburgers, and Hertz and Enterprise. There are also weak substitutes, they will have low cross elasticity for its demand instead of high cross elasticity. Perfect substitutes are also an option. Another factor of price elasticity is whether or not it is a necessity…

There have been many studies conducted on female voices and maternal voices involving testing preference, discrimination, and reinforcing qualities. However, there has been little emphasis and interest shown in male voices and paternal voices in these areas. The study conducted by Anthony DeCasper and Phyllis Prescott, is one of the few studies conducted that look into paternal and male voice perception for newborn infants. This study was divided into three experiments that were divided in…

Among the mid-range mice, the Logitech G602 is one of the mice with lowest maximum DPI. Also on the polling rate (the frequency when updated), there was a weight loss treatment done by Logitech. It is one of few gaming mice with a polling rate of 500 Hertz instead of 1000, which has now become the standard for everyone. This means that the G602 mouse restarts the cursor every 2 milliseconds instead of every 1 Ms. Furthermore, the Logitech G602 is 100% customizable. The beauty of any gaming…

Honor means great respect for what you have done especially big accomplishments. Honor is when someone respects you for your accomplishments. Scientist Ernest Rutherford was born on August 30, 1871, in Spring Grove New Zealand. A pioneer of nuclear physics and the first to split the atom in half he was awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his theory of atomic structure. His father James had little education and struggled to support the large family of 14 but his mother Martha worked…

Mean monocular VA improved from 20/42 before surgery to 20/32 and mean binocular VA from 20/39 to 20/28 (Table 1 represents these data in LogMAR). Significant improvements were observed in contrast sensitivity at three frequencies of 3, 6 and 12 Hertz (Table 2 and Figure 1). All videonystagmographic indices were decreased significantly after surgery (Table 3 and Figure 2). Interestingly, there was not even one case in which the nystagmus intensity remain unchanged or increased after…

Adam Farmer, the main protagonist, is on a journey to find his father in a far away town called Rutterburg, Vermont with a secret package for him. Since the events in the book aren’t in chronological order he’s simultaneously in an institution and these portions of the book are written as if they were recorded audio tapes. As the chapters go by, more mysteries arise from Adam’s and his parents’ past. Adam is a young teenage boy, he’s sensitive, shy/paranoid, and a well-read student. His personal…

The photo on the right shows a medical technician using an ultrasound machine to diagnose appendicitis to a patient, without the use of x-rays. The ultrasound imaging technique involves using high frequency sound waves and their echoes. The machine transmits high-frequency sound pulses into the patient’s body using a probe. In the image, the technician presses and moves the probe along the patient’s body. This photo was taken in the St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and obtained from *. In terms…

Love Canal Sophie Albright The Love Canal tragedy, in 1942, caused conflict and stirred up arguments, socially, economically, and environmentally. Unwanted chemicals from various experiments and projects from different companies and groups were dumped at a waste site in Niagara Falls, New York, thinking the landfill would cause no harm. The chemicals were then, out of sight, out of mind. When the area was turned into a neighborhood, it then became evident those discarded…

into making panels tiny, ascetically pleasing, and efficient would be well worth the resources since it would result in a larger market for sales. Additionally, the use of nanotechnology could potentially be integrated with photovoltaic cells to vastly increase their efficiency. For instance, according to the Journal of Solar Energy Engineering a team of engineers has been working on a film which has the potential to catch greater than 90 percent of the light that is available. If successful,…

developed and improved on as time went by, which was created by different inventors and became the radio as people know it today. Heinrich Hertz discovered radio waves in 1887. The waves moved the same way as the speed of light and could be detected with a wire loop. Augusto Righi introduced this event to Guglielmo Marconi ("The Radio"). Thanks to the knowledge of Hertz, Marconi became the first person to development a successful radio in 1894.…
