Today, we are living an aura where the quality of air is excessively low due to pollution and other human-made causes. Even in homes, the surroundings are also not appreciable. It is hard to change the atmosphere for outside, but people can make it better in their homes by using a high-quality dehumidifier. It is an appliance that significantly decrease the excess level of moisture or humidity in a room and make it better. There are different types of dehumidifiers in the market, so you can make

IB Economic Commentary Even in technology there are monstrous firms that are power thirsty and try to have the whole market to themselves. Comcast wants to acquire Time Warner Cable for a $45-billion offer. This is a disadvantage to the consumers because Comcast will have the position as the dominant cable operator. Furthermore, that could lead to a decline in competitive pressure. Therefore, is it a wise decision for the deal to be allowed to go through? Monopoly is a single firm that controls

It contains three coherent components, namely multimedia semantic representation, multimedia concept classification and summarization, and multimedia temporal semantics analysis and ensemble learning. These three components are seamlessly integrated and

dehumanizes individuals, disregarding the value of their privacy in order to place the corporate world above their needs and rights. Posner’s claim rests on his economic analysis, which holds that a business has a greater potential for economic efficiency than an individual if its information is kept private. And it is crucial to this analysis that privacy and prying be regarded as intermediate goods—means to an end rather than ends in themselves. Indeed Posner believes that we use prying and then

Title: The Global Financial Crisis and Protectionism Question: During 2008~2009 many developed nations gave subsidies to their automobile producers. How might this have distorted international trade? Was this a reasonable thing to do given the circumstances? Introduction There was an empirical research study on the effect of protectionism on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the United States (US). According to National Bureau Of Economic Research, “a generalized 10 percent hike against emerging

Single Variable Response (SVR) has been a methodology often used for qualitative analysis of the training results obtained from Evolutionary neural network (EvoNN) and Bi-Objective genetic programming (BioGP) [Pettersson et~al., 2007], [Jha et~al., 2015b]. In SVR, a style of variation is created by generating values between zero and one on time scale. The trend line is irregular, that is there are regions of constant values, sharp increases and sharp decreases in the line. This has been referred

are concerned that the next generation of drivers will not be educated enough on air pollution. They should be able to learn about air pollution for a small price. Your car is designed to run at an optimal efficiency, however time, distance, and weather, contribute to decreasing that efficiency. Routine
