Distance

Note: Here, we briefly summarize results of the first-stage regressions focusing on the effects of our instrumental variables. The results show that the coefficient of distance to major roadways is positively associated with changes in overall job accessibility, but the coefficient of distance to subcenter is negatively associated with the variable. The latter makes sense because as mentioned above, jobs are generally clustered into subcenters for agglomeration economies. However, the former is…

people end and or how new relationships start up. Our relationships can be altered by simply the distance between one another, for with a new location, we create new relationships and old relationships may remain or change. Relationships can also change by our demands and interests, for if we have a girlfriend or boyfriend or an intensive job, we may have to choose one over another relationship. Distance, interest, and demand affect our relationships, pertaining to communication, and thus…

society to a perfect society without any problems and simply categorized high power distance as a stumbling stone. Moreover, because I studied the power distance distribution map before the presentation and kept some countries’ power distance index in mind, I was able to point out that, France, as a democratic country, has a high power distance which shows that democracy does not has a necessary connection with power distance. I felt a little bit uncomfortable when Xirui raised this question,…

between the bourgeois and the peasants, and how these differences have been sustained, by the dominant classes, to maintain power distinctions. A particular term called my attention, neutralizing distance (p. 85), which is used by Bourdieu to define how the bourgeoisie use their language to maintain distances with other classes living within the same society. In oder to explain this concept, Bourdieu relies, and at the same time criticizes, the Lakoff and Labov's findings on the speech of the…

evidenced as more turn-taking interaction between tutor and student; tutors had to play the constructive role in telephone tutorial (Rutter, 1989: 303). Rutter demonstrated that participants in telephone tutorials had a greater consciousness of distance and higher degree of ‘cuelessness’ than participants in classroom-based seminars. Telephone technology is deemed affording ‘sense of intimacy’ because the nature of telephone system (anonymity) places participants in a more ‘cuelessness’…

culture, and ethical standards. We compare with China and America from six cultural dimensions to analyze those differences. For power distance, in high power distance culture, people's status have clear distinction, unequal distribution of power is regard as merited, people are used to accept the bosses’ opinions, demands, decision or command. In low power distance cultures, people think inequities within the groups and organizations should be minimized, between boss and subordinate should…

amount of water that's in and around your cells (Mayo Clinic, 2015). When a person runs a long distance their blood is sent to their legs creating less blood flow to other organs such as the kidneys. People who drink too much water while taking part in marathons, ultramarathons, triathlons and other long-distance, high-intensity activities are at an increased risk of hyponatremia (Mayo Clinic, 2015). Long-distance runners tend to over hydrate in fear of becoming dehydrated. People who run a lot…

of those toy cars that you pull back and move once your hand releases the car. After attaching the ticker tape and feeding the tape through the spark timer, the timer was turned and the car was pulled back and then released. In a perfect world, a distance-time graph of this perfect constant acceleration would have a curved line that gets steeper as time increases. On the other hand, the velocity-time graph would be a straight line with a…

coming from the top of a stack of some height and diameter. One of the primary calculations is the effective stack height. As the gases are heated in the plant (from the burning of coal or other materials), the hot plume will be thrust upward some distance above the top…

especially crucial for an athlete to reach his or her desired goal and to avoid the nutritional restraint of hitting the “wall.” According to most physiological studies of endurance athletes, the nutritional guide to increasing potential energy in long distance runners is to intake more carbohydrates, moderate protein, and low fat. Because the body uses fats for energy at rest and carbohydrates for energy during moderate to intense activity, it is important for athletes to understand what source…
