contributed to aircraft accidents. An aircraft can become directly impacted by weather when they are struck by lightning in storms‚ blown off course‚ incur malfunctions due to icing up of engine and wing parts‚ or are bounced about in the air by turbulence. Even if the act of weather itself doesn’t cause an accident the distraction of the weather could cause an accident. Introduction Weather plays a significant role in a great number of aircraft accidents and incidents. Weather is one major issue

purpose of this study is to extend the traditional environment–strategy–performance framework by including network theory to examine when a foreign firm can use its multinational corporation (MNC) network strength to buffer market turbulence and technological turbulence and when the foreign firm can deploy it to support the influences of marketing strategic postures (i.e.‚ market responsiveness and product innovation) on firm performance. The author tests the hypotheses on data collected from 140

transmitted in the air. So that will introduce the atmospheric affect in the optical wave propagation. Atmospheric turbulence causes fluctuations in both the intensity and the phase of the received signal. So we need to study the effect and the limitation if we introduce a free space optical communication system with dual wavelength (980 nm‚ 1550 nm). Also studying the effect of turbulence when using two different wavelengths. Introduction Free space optical communication is a kind of communication

Spiral of Silence Theory Elizabeth Noelle-Neumann’s spiral of silence is a theory that was developed in 1974 and as the founder and the director of the Public Opinion Research Center in Allensbach in Germany; she has found evidence of how the spread of public opinion is formed. The term spiral of silence refers to the increasing pressure people feel to conceal their views they think they are the minority. People will be unwilling to publicly express their opinion if they are in the minority and

The behavior I have is a fear of flying. This behavior developed when I was younger on an international flight back to the U.S.‚ there was a bad storm and the turbulence was really bad and the plane felt like it was dropping out of the sky. Also there was another instance where I was flying through the mountains in a propeller plane. These particular planes do not fly as high as say a Boeing 757 or a jet‚ therefore you feel every single wind gust and bump. As the plane was descending into our destination
