The eighth Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon once said, “The clear and present danger of climate change means we cannot burn our way to prosperity. We already rely too heavily on fossil fuels. We need to find a new, sustainable path to the future we want. We need a clean industrial revolution” ("Ban Ki-moon"). Collectively, we burn fossil fuels without recognition of the repercussions it has on the environment and our well-being. Air pollution causes climate change, shown through
One.Tel is a telecommunications company that was launched in May 1995 by Jodee Rich and Brad Keeling. Initially, it was a reseller of Optus network before later on decided to enter the deregulated telecommunications industry. One.Tel believed such deregulation could bring them many advantages. With its major competitors like Telstra and Optus viewed as being bureaucratic, slow pace, and old-fashioned, One.Tel promoted flat adhocracy culture as opposed to bureaucratic. It also used the “dude” mascot
provide insight into the photochemical transformation and physical processing of ambient VOCs.10 Recent isotope studies on VOCs has shown the stable isotopes of C within the compounds is consistent with the kinetic isotope effect.10 Thus, the fractionation between the emission and the observation can determine the extent of photochemical processing, other words the photochemical age.10 The study of isotopes within VOCs has recently developed with Rudolph, et al., 1997 as a method was introduced to measure
of Onetel into the Australian telecommunications industry was high-flying as the company was financially backed by two famous heirs James Packer and Lachlan Murdoch. The company was established in May, 1995 by two entrepreneurs Jodee Rich and Brad Keeling, with an initial investment capital of 995 million USD (Cook, 2001). The company initially started its operations in Australia with a slogan “You’ll tell your friend about Onetel” and then extended their base to USA and Europe, with a low pricing
1.3.1.3.1 IoT Definitions and Historical View Gartner (2015) forecasts that in 2020 almost 20 billion devices will be connected together and form the Internet of Things (IoT) of the future, which is a rise by fairly 2000% from 0.9 billion in 2009 (Gartner.com, 2015). The topic of IoT has hoarded much interest to the point that it has been classified as a disruptive technology (Downes, 2013, Feki et al., 2013). The concept of the Internet of Things is not new; it has been around since the early 90s
An extensive study conducted in 2006 by a team of medical researchers sought to establish predictors of vascular complications for patients who have undergone diagnostic cardiac catheterization (CC) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Noting that The American College of Cardiology has set a benchmark rate for vascular complications of "no more than 1% for diagnostic CC and 3% for PCI," the purpose of the study was "to provide baseline data on the number and type of vascular complications
1. ETHICS Ethics refer to “the principles, standard and norms of conducts governing individual and firm behavior” (Peng & Meyer 2011, p82). These principles entail that both individual and firms are to take full accountability of their behaviors and to conform to established principles and values (Thorne, Ferrell & Ferell 2008, p167). This definition will probably raise the concern if there is any distinction between ethics and the law. It is argued that to the degree that law mirrors a society’s
associated with immediate and long-term physical and mental health problems (Ghandour, Campbell & Lloyd, 2015). Literature review. The first step in tackling the issue of domestic violence is knowing the cause. Using an exploratory qualitative research study, Trigueiro & Labronici, (2011) identified the risk factors that generate domestic violence. During the period of December 2010 to February 2011, eight women who lived in an Institutional Housing Service in the city of Curitiba / PR were interviewed
Teacher tenure is life-long job protection for teachers who have been employed as a teacher for one or more years depending on the state. The purpose of teacher tenure is to protect teachers from being fired for political or personal reasons. It also prevents school districts from eliminating experienced teachers in favor of less expensive teachers. The fundamental problem with teacher tenure is that it is given to a teacher after only one year on the job and requires little to no additional effort
chose whooping cough as a disease to study in depth because although a vaccine exists, there are still several thousands cases of Pertussis each year in Australia, with larger outbreaks occurring from time to time. This provided me with a good disease to model using the SIR model, which is commonly used by epidemiologists to better understand the spread of diseases. Aims This exploration aims to explain the SIR model as a concept, then apply the model to the cases of Whooping Cough (Pertussis) in
