The Ugly American showed the reasons why American diplomacy was failing in Southeast Asia in the 1950’s and the reasons why communism was succeeding. . Its lessons seem startlingly urgent today in light of the turmoil in Central America and in the Middle East. Whether the foreign policy errors this book dramatizes have been corrected is an important question‚ and one that can be usefully debated in the classroom. As a harbinger of the United States failure in Vietnam‚ The Ugly American seems

THE SEVEN SORTING SCHEME 1. BUBBLE SORT The bubble sort is generally considered to be the simplest sorting algorithm. Because of its simplicity and ease of visualization‚ it is often taught in introductory computer science courses. Because of its abysmal O(n2) performance‚ it is not used often for large (or even medium-sized) datasets. ALGORITHM: for i = 1:n‚ swapped = false for j = n:i+1‚ if a[j] < a[j-1]‚ swap a[j‚j-1] swapped = true

The Art of Literature Faulkner’s Narrative Complexity in “A Rose for Emily” “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner divulges the reader into a story of tragedy brought on by a prideful southern society whose ability to cope with their new lifestyle is restricted. Faulkner carefully crafts his piece with meaning that begs the reader to dig deeper and unveil the message concealed between the lines. His main focal point is the protagonist Emily Grierson‚ who is implied to be a mysterious individual

Michigan Manufacturing Corporation’s: The Pontiac Plant‚ 1992 Overhead costs of plants in the Michigan Manufacturing (MM) system vary greatly from plant to plant for several reasons‚ but the major one is that the varying complexity of the mission of each plant. Exhibits 2A and 2B show that different plants vary greatly in the number of product families they produce‚ and then also in the number of product models. We did not calculate the correlation between these numbers and the burden rates‚ but

but to a sequence of operations performed on the same data structure. Asymptotic complexity * is a way of expressing the main component of the cost of an algorithm‚ using idealized units of computational work. Notations used in comparing and ranking the order of growth. 1. BigO Notation (O) * Introduced in 1895 by Paul Bachmann. It is the most commonly used notation for specifying asymptotic complexity. * Big-O means “on the order of” ‚ is the formal method of expressing the upper

the “intrinsic” worth of jobs‚ based on systematic assessment of the degree of complexity of job content and requirement‚ and to do this independently of any pre-conceived standards of remuneration and without regard to the qualities and performance of the actual personnel who perform the jobs. Secondary Aims • To relate jobs to each other in terms of their intrinsic worth‚ and hence to determine relative complexities of different jobs and a rational job structure within an organisation. •
