Impact factor

According to Elizabeth Kolbert, planet Earth is on schedule for a sixth major loss – the sixth extinction. In contrast with the previous five this sixth extinction may be caused by a combination of factors as various as global warming, ocean acidification, deforestation, and overconsumption. All of these factors can be placed under the umbrella of a single true cause: humanity. The signs are all around us. The Panamian golden frog, the colorful coral reef, the little brown bat of New England,…

Economic Factors As with any new innovation or item that comes into the market, economics are also affected. In an article by the Traffic Safety Resource Center it is stated, “A conservative estimate of money saved to the economy by reducing car crashes in America would equal about $99 billion each year” (Giarratana). The cost of car repairs, insurance, and possible medical bills after a crash can add up very quickly. If the number of car accidents is reduced, the cost of insurance can then be…

(Pasichnyk, 2011), but the 2 theories that have become the most widely accepted as they have the most amount of supporting evidence are the Impact Theory (otherwise known as the Alvarez Hypothesis (Smith, 2005)) and the Volcanic Theory (Pasichnyk, 2011). The Impact Theory states that millions of years ago a comet or an asteroid struck the Earth and the impact of that is what killed the dinosaurs, it also caused the meteor to evaporate covering the earth in a layer of dust (Smith, 2005). In…

growth rate, and efficient (avian-like) respiratory systems (Benton et al. 2014). Furthermore, the supposedly mammalian-like endothermy and their upright, bipedal posture are other potential examples of adaptive advantages (Benton et al. 2014). These factors enabled the dinosaurs to undergo adaptive radiation following the Permo-Triassic mass extinction. The Cretaceous/ Tertiary (K/T) boundary is associated with the mass extinction of dinosaurs, a geological event that dates back approximately…

look out for that could potentially impact this job. Examples of external market factors include globalization, which can be defined as the interaction among different nations, as well as any advances in technology. More external factors include environmental concerns and the challenging but rewarding nature of the work force itself (Society of Logistics Engineers, 2016). Aside from external factors, internal factors are also present and have the ability to impact the occupation of logistics.…

customers’ satisfaction (as cited in Gu, Qiu and Yang, 2004). In order to make more benefits, customers’ satisfaction becomes a large part in the marketing. Service is always considered as a crucial impact of customer satisfaction in the marketing. According to (Lv, 2008), service is the main factor in the marketing. It directly affects customers’ actions and satisfaction. He suggests that service is an intangible production, it is supposed to sell to the customers. Customers purchase a good…

the age of Enlightenment. The strongest statement was advanced by the English writer Mary Wollstonecraft. She argued that women should have equal rights with men in education, as well as in economic and political life. Enlightenment thought had some impact on the political life and social equality of European states in the eighteenth century. The philosophies believed in natural rights for all people. These included equality before the law, freedom of religious worships, freedom of speech and…

and unique theories about the K-T extinction. Some theories have good evidence, others have little to none, but there are no guarantees if the evidence is actually good enough. Many people believe that the great extinction happened because of the impact of a cosmic asteroid and created a massive explosion…

time ago, extinct mysteriously. Paleontologists and scientists have established a variety of possible theories to explain. However, all these theories are still debatable.There are four main possible explanations: Asteroid Impact, Volcano Eruption, Falling Tide and Asteroid Impact theory was established by Luis Alvarez in 1980.Many plants and animals were disappeared abruptly from the fossil record as one moves from layers of rocks documenting the end of the Cretaceous up into rocks…

hit Earth (2) About 65 million years ago an asteroid that is roughly 10 kilometres across, hit Earth on the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. It caused a huge explosion and left a crater that is about 185 kilometres across. This asteroid impact is commonly known to be the reason for the extinction of three quarters of the dinosaurs. (4) The asteroid soared through the sky at more than 40 times the speed of sound. (6) The earth moves through space in its orbit around the sun at…
