globalization (the elephant) as a whole, since each aspect is important, and looking at just one can cause confuse the true nature of globalization. Globalization is a controversial term; for example, some experts believe everyone benefits and the standard of living is rising, whereas other critics point out the growing disparity between the rich and the poor, and point out that everyone is affected differently by globalization. As Steger argues, globalization is a process, not a condition,…

In mid-September 2015, the Volkswagen (VW) scandal erupted in the United States, creating a shockwave in the diesel automobile sector both domestic and international. US authorities accused VW of installing “defeat devices” in nearly half a million cars between 2009 and 2015 to make them appear less polluting than they actually are. Independent tests done by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) confirmed that a selection of VW vehicles were emitting up to 40 times more…

The Discovery and Motion of Particulate Matter Introduction During the 1930s and 50s many scientist studied cosmic rays which were understood to originate from outer space. Many were able to observe that when the cosmic rays collided with atoms in our atmosphere, the nucleus of the atom was prised open by the energy created. This then revealed many short-lived particles within the nucleus. However, these could only be seen in tracks left behind in sensitive detectors. There were many particles…

By a standard scaling argument, and (30) or the argument leading to it, we have ∥uI−Tpuh∥ L1(Ω∗ i ) ≥ C2hmin∥uI−Tpuh∥ L1(Ω∗ i ) ≥ C2h2 minhp+1 √ Q(˜D0 i ; ˜D1 i ; · · · ; ˜Dp i ): This completes the proof.

The Kriging weights w_i1,w_i2,w_i3,…w_ik can be used to estimate the fair value of VA contracts x ⃑_i by the following formula, y ̂_i=∑_(j=1)^k▒〖w_ij∙y_j 〗. The kriging weights can be calculated by the following linear equations, Where the is a control variable, which is used to make sure that ∑_(j=1)^k▒w_ij =1. V_rs=α+exp⁡(-3/β D(z ⃑_r,z ⃑_s,λ)),r,s=1,2,3,…,k, D_ij=α+exp⁡(-3/β D(x ⃑_i,z ⃑_j,λ)),j=1,2,3,…,k, The D(.) function is the distance function mentioned in the clustering section…

In comparing two companies that manufacture one of the most demanded products on the planet, Chevron and Exxon Mobil are the two companies are at the top of the oil and gas industry and are responsible for most of the gas and oil that is sold throughout the United States. Each company is highly profitable and are able to turn their product quickly and continue to supply the country with an almost endless supply of gasoline and oil. A breakdown of each company’s liquidity, solvency, and…
