Organizations have always looked to their IT departments for the expertise and creativity to develop new products and services. However‚ the productivity of IT teams varies widely‚ in part because of the vastly differing access to tools and technologies that organizations provide to these workers to support the way in which they work. This fact has serious implications when we consider three major changes now taking place in the as relates to social computing since these changes are increasingly

How do cable and satellite TV signals get to my television? Cable TV: Cable TV companies lay wiring throughout the areas they service‚ including amplifiers to make sure signal strength is good throughout. Cable can then be easily brought into your home and connected to a cable box or directly into your TV. Satellite TV: Satellite TV companies send their signal to a satellite in space‚ which then sends it down to the dish on your roof. The dish then needs to connect to a receiver box‚ which connects

You may not know it‚ but mathematics is all around you in the world today- from the breakfast you eat in the morning‚ to the hobbies you enjoy‚ to the complex world of computers and games. In this paper‚ it’s going to be my goal to show you how math is related to the sport of soccer. Soccer‚ in essence‚ is a fairly simplistic sport. The basic rules are simple‚ but some of the more particular ones can become slightly confusing. The MLS (Major League Soccer) recognizes seventeen basic rules

Enter the company ’s current storage over IP "fan-out" infrastructure‚ with Nishan Systems ’ switches and a core/edge design that Owens affectionately calls "the funnel." Commenting on their decision to move into IP-based solutions‚ Owens said that the ability to connect remote sites was something "we had to do‚ or else our storage wouldn ’t have been approved." The

Beneficence can be defined as acts of mercy and charity‚ but can be expanded to include any act that benefits another (Edge & Groves‚ 1999). The three statements of beneficence as stated by Edge & Groves (1999) are: 1. One ought to prevent evil or harm. 2. One ought to remove evil or harm. 3. One ought to do or promote good. Nonmaleficence is the ethical principle of doing no harm (Edge & Groves‚ 1999). Health care professionals have a moral obligation to provide patients with net medical benefits

What is algorithm design? Our text defines an algorithm to be any well-defined computational procedure that takes some values as input and produces some values as output. Like a cooking recipe‚ an algorithm provides a step-by-step method for solving a computational problem. A good understanding

Seems like the common and rational way‚ arguably universal. The toilet paper rests openly flayed outward for one to grab‚ almost gracing the edge of one’s knee; to draw it towards its fated clump is to spin the wheel naturally forward. Despite my many flaws‚ I consider myself a very rational and logical person‚ and feel that this situation is the objective‚ perhaps even ethical “right” way of doing things — to the point where I feel that people who disagree with this issue are less equipped to deal

A hockey player impels himself forward by pushing off the ice with a power opposite to the skate sharp edge. Since the contact of the edge with the ice is just about zero‚ this is the main way he can impel himself forward. The figure underneath represents the material science behind this guideline. As the hockey player pushes off with his back leg‚ an opposite power F is applied on the skate by the ice. The part of the power F that focuses forward (toward movement) is the thing that pushes the player
