of the grain structure. In Fig. 2(b), surface chemical composition of zirconium and yttrium is presented. However, the composition of the coating deviated from that of the sputtering targets. The result not only related to the different sputtering yields of the zirconium and yttrium19, but also to the separate diffusion velocity at γ-TiAl. Zirconium has the same lattice structure and similar to the atomic radius with titanium, which easy to form the substitutional solid solution. It is…

Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP), Quantitative Easing (QE), and Operation Twist all provided massive economic stimulus during and after the Great Recession of 2008. This recession cut the United States economy deeper than other economic crisis since World War II. The recovery of our very fragile economy remains at a very slow pace and is still incomplete. This crisis forced numerous central banks to pursue unconventional monetary policies in an attempt to fix our broken economy. Throughout this…

PESTLE ANALYSIS OF FAST FOOD INDUSTRY POLITICAL FACTORS The stable political climate of South Africa allows for its food industry to grow at a steady rate allowing it also to evolve to face different political challenges. The government’s inability to keep up with the energy demand can be seen as one of those challenges.

The great debate of the NBA in the 1960s centered around two men who revolutionized the game of basketball in their own contrasting and unique ways. Bill Russell was a quiet warrior with unparalleled intensity. His primary concern was whether or not his team won. Everything else was secondary. Wilt Chamberlain was a once-in-a-generation athlete with an ability to seemingly score at will. His talent resulted in statistics and records that are unimaginable by today’s standards. Naturally, the…

* Antonello, who until the accident had been an unquestioning believer, would never again willingly walk into a church. When the Bridge fell so did God and the possibility of God and for as long as Antonello lived, and he lived a long time, he would never again turned to God. Other survivors recounted praying to God as they swam through the muddy waters to the bank, as they crouched behind some structure to avoid the flying debris, as they watched the Bridge fall. They wanted to tell Antonello,…

“It would be better for the true physics if there were no mathematicians on earth.” Daniel Bernoulli once said this statement. Not many people know about Daniel Bernoulli. Daniel Bernoulli (He was also known as Daniel Bernovllivs), was a swiss mathematician that furthered the study of calculus and physics along with his family. He was known for his principle (Bernoulli’s Principle), but also did many other things with his time. He helped the field of hydrodynamics, and without knowing it helped…

Confirm that the simulation has been reset by checking that the Time Elapsed box to the right of the Control Panel reads “0 Years”. 8 Click the STEP 50 button on the Control Panel, and the simulation will run for 50 years and automatically stop. Watch the graph to confirm that the size of the moose population changes dramatically when the moose first arrive, and then eventually stabilizes (levels out). ← You can adjust how fast the simulation runs with the SPEED slider to…

In general, viatical settlements are ethical. In the case of a viatical settlement, it is simply an exchange of cash today for payment in the future, although the payment depends on the death of the seller. The purchaser of the life insurance policy is bearing the risk that the insured individual will live longer than expected. Although viatical settlements are ethical, they may not be the best choice for an individual. In a Business Week article (October 31, 2005), options were examined for a…

Three imaging modalities commonly used in the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of Osteogenesis Imperfecta patients include: diagnostic medical sonography, diagnostic x-ray, and bone densitometry. Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disease affecting the quantity and structure of collagen that is normally found in connective tissues, bones, and the sclera, or white portion of eyes. It is estimated that this condition affects 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20,000 births (Antoniazzi, Mottes,…
