The Principles of Scientific Management (1911) by Frederick Winslow Taylor, M.E., Sc. D. CHAPTER II: THE PRINCIPLES OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT THE writer has found that there are three questions uppermost in the minds of men when they become interested in scientific management. First. Wherein do the principles of scientific management differ essentially from those of ordinary management? Second. Why are better results attained under scientific management than under…

The domestic dog is a domesticated canid which has been selectively bred for millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes. golden jackal, or gray wolf), extensive genetic studies undertaken during the 2010s indicate that dogs diverged from an extinct wolf-like canid in Eurasia 40,000 years ago. their long association with people has allowed dogs to be uniquely attuned to human behavior, Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads…

shores of Animal Island, there lived a sea guinea pig. He was young and curious and loved adventure. He would go diving down to the ocean floor to discover the colorful fish that swam through the bright sea plants, and he loved to explore the small underwater caves that dotted the edges of the reef. One day Guinea Pig was basking in the sunshine. It was almost always cloudy where he lived, and it was a rare day when the sun was out. As Guinea Pig sunned himself on the shore, his eyes scanned the…

The pigs as shown above in the picture with glowing green snouts are genetically engineered animals known as transgenic animals. Canadian council on animal care (CCAC) defines transgenic animal as “an animal in which there has been a deliberate modification of its genome”1. Method of Genetic Engineering to produce pigs with glowing green snouts: These transgenic pigs were produced using a technique called DNA microinjection2. For the very first time, 10 piglets with glowing green snouts were produced…

I. Fetal Pig Dissection II. Purpose Sus scrofa, or the domestic pig is a member of the class Mammalia and the order Artiodactyla. Since we as humans are also a member of class Mammalia, we have a good deal in common biologically with pigs, although we might not like to think so. Since we have a good deal in common, it is very helpful for us to study these animals both anatomically and physiologically. We do this when we test medicines on pigs, perfect surgical procedures on pigs, and even when…

A scientific breakthrough that changed the face of international and domestic warfare forever was named the Manhattan Project (1942). The Manhattan Project (1942) was under the direction of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Its focus was to create a bomb using the expulsion of atomic energy. This secret operation where they built and assembled the first atomic bomb was located in Los Alamos, New Mexico. With the creation of such a device of destruction no one imaged it would lead to the deaths of…

Executive Summary Intensive pig farming is an agricultural industry that operates by raising live pigs for slaughtering which will then be turned into pork for human consumption. Piggeries, as the firm is called, serve as a major food source in the Philippines, with the highest grossing per capita consumption among red meats. The industry is fairly attractive to investors as its high capital requirement and risky nature is effectively balanced out by the steady demand of a readily available market…

The Bay of Pigs invasion has come to be known as the perfect failure in American history. The invasion only lasted two days but the effects of the invasion lasted for decades. One of the most significant consequences of the Bay of Pigs was the thirteen day standoff between the Soviet Union and the United States over the installation of nuclear armed Soviet missiles on Cuba a year after the Bay of Pigs. The standoff, known as the Cuban Missile Crisis, is the closest the world has come to nuclear…

Tuna that go by the scientific name of Thunnus Maccoyii (Dennis. M et.al, 2010) are one of the most valuable finfish cultured within Australian and most sought after for sushi within Japan. The waters generally out from Port Lincoln within Spencer Gulf, South Australia are where the tuna are mainly cultured in Australia due to the water temperature being ideal for the culture of these highly valued finfish. Tuna is within the top four of the most valuable cultured aquatic species in Australia especially…
