In other multi –species studies, however, no result it’s from pressure volume measurements correlated well to field observation of drought resistance (Bannister 1986; Bannister and Kissel 1986; Abrams et al 1990), or even to minimal water potentials (Davis and Mooney 1986, a, b). A variety of contrasting, compensating physiological changes may occur as water is lost; e.g., open stomata allow water potential to decline while photosynthesis continues, or closed stomata prevent both low and…

Introduction In this case analysis, we will be discussing the Diagnostic Products Corporation (DMC) Performance Bonus Program. In examining this program, we will evaluate it as a whole and how it is currently being implemented. After doing this, we will offer any suggestions we feel will enhance this compensation method. Following this, we will look at alternatives to the bonus compensation option. This will include cultural, personnel and action controls. Lastly, we have structured an ethical…

Solitary Confinement Walking through the gentle fog down the empty street that led from her home to school, Adair subconsciously reached into her backpack and unwound her headphones, as she did every morning on her walks to school. Her thumb clicked the button on the side of her phone to turn the volume of her music up to extra high. It didn't matter so much what the music playing was, as long as there was something coming out of her headphones, she was happy. Frankly, she didn't even like…

Music therapy. A term that has grown so much over the past few decades. As a music therapist in training, when people find out what I’m studying, the common response is “wow, that sounds so interesting, what is it?” I then often struggle to find the words to describe such an amazing concept to people in such few words. The trouble is that “music therapy means different things to different people for myriad reasons” (Bruscia, 1998). The challenge in defining music therapy is that it is the…

Contraband control becomes more difficult as inmates find new, innovative ways to exploit the system. Staff members in prisons are required to think one step ahead to prevent any risk of losing their lives. Contraband, defined by The National Institute of Justice, are items illegally smuggled into correctional facilities such as weapons, drugs or anything prohibited in the monitored area including cell phones. One of the items smuggled most into facilities are cell phones. “In 2008,…

World War 1 was lethal, essentially because it saw the use of nineteenth century armed forces manoeuvres with twentieth century machinery. In 1914 the “war of movement” that was expected by most European generals had settled down into an unexpected and seemingly unwinnable war of trenches. Initially with machine guns reinforcing massed rifle fire from the defending trenches, attackers were mowed down by the thousands before they could even get to the other side of “no-man’s-land”. Because of…

The distribution of goods is most efficient at the equilibrium point due to the synchronization of the quantity desired and the quantity of goods produced. At this point, every company, individual, or system involved is content. The production companies are doing what the people want by manufacturing products that are longed for, while the…

Light synthesis principles The basic idea of light waveform synthesis can be described as follows: First, the spectrum of a light waveform is decomposed into its constituent spectral components by a disperser, then, adequate modulators acting on each of this spectral components individually modifies the relative phase (or delay), the amplitude and polarization of these components before they are coherently superimposed again by a combiner to create a desired tailored waveform (Figure 2a)41.…

Recently, China has become more encouraging of innovation through increased enforcement of intellectual property rights. To solidify its position in the global intellectual property market, China joined WIPO in 1980 and the Paris Convention on Industrial Property in 1985. Additionally, China signed the Patent Cooperation Treaty in 1994, registered all trademarks with the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 1990, and became a member of the World Trade…
