This document defines and explains different types of leverage used in business including operating, financial, and combined leverage. It discusses leverage as the use of fixed costs or financing to magnify the effects of changes in sales or earnings. Operating leverage is defined as how revenue growth impacts operating income due to fixed operating expenses. Financial leverage magnifies the effect of changes in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) on earnings per share through the use of fixed financial charges. Combined leverage is the combined effect of operating and financial leverage. The document also discusses degree of operating leverage (DOL) and degree of financial leverage (DFL) as quantitative measures and compares the effects of leverage in EBIT-EPS analysis.
This document discusses Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), a method used to analyze and represent the tasks involved in complex projects. PERT was developed by the US Navy in the 1950s to manage large-scale projects. It involves identifying activities, estimating activity times, sequencing activities, and determining the critical path. The critical path identifies the longest sequence of activities to complete the project. PERT helps schedule projects and identify slack time to reduce time and costs for complex, non-routine projects.
This document outlines the 7 steps of the research process:
1. Define the research problem
2. Review relevant literature
3. Formulate testable hypotheses
4. Prepare the research design to collect evidence efficiently
5. Collect primary data through various methods like surveys and interviews
6. Analyze the collected data through steps like coding and tabulation
7. Test the hypotheses and write a report on the findings

An HRIS is a system that acquires, stores, manipulates, analyzes, retrieves, and distributes information about an organization's human resources. It includes hardware, software, people, forms, policies, and data. There are three main types of HRIS: electronic data processing systems focused on operational data storage and processing; management information systems aimed at middle management with integrated and structured information flows; and decision support systems focused on flexibility for top executives. An HRIS can increase efficiency by allowing more transactions with fewer resources and increase effectiveness by improving the accuracy of information or simplifying processes.
This document studies the suitability of using incinerated sewage sludge ash (ISSA) to produce geopolymer concrete as a partial replacement for fly ash. Key findings include:
1) XRF testing showed that ISSA has high concentrations of SiO2 and Al2O3 similar to fly ash, making it a potential candidate for geopolymer concrete.
2) Concrete made with only ISSA did not develop significant strength, but strength decreased gradually as ISSA percentage increased in mixes partially replacing fly ash up to 20%.
3) Concrete with up to 15% ISSA replacement was considered average quality and absorption, allowing potential use for less strength-critical applications.

Operation & material management-line balancing & capacity planning decisionRohit Raina
This document discusses line balancing and capacity planning. It defines line balancing as balancing the workload across assembly line stations to optimize output, reduce costs, and identify bottlenecks. Three types of assembly line models are described: single-model, mixed-model, and multi-model. Capacity planning is defined as determining short and long-term needs by estimating requirements for machines, labor, resources and analyzing processes. It helps make strategic, tactical and operational decisions about system availability and sizing capacity.
For many in New York, Christmas is the best time of year in the city. The season begins with the lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree after Thanksgiving. This kicks off the famous Shopping Week, where tourism increases and hotel prices rise. Once Shopping Week ends, prices return to normal levels. On Christmas Day, most shops and attractions close as New Yorkers celebrate at home with their families.
This document discusses line balancing and capacity planning techniques. It describes line balancing as a tool to increase assembly line output and reduce costs by optimizing work distribution across stations. Three types of assembly line models are described: single model, mixed model, and multi-model. The purpose of line balancing is outlined as equalizing workloads, identifying bottlenecks, setting line speed, determining station and labor costs. Capacity planning is defined as determining short and long term needs by analyzing current capacity, utilization rates, and estimating resource and labor requirements. The document provides examples of how these techniques can help operations planning.

Este documento presenta un resumen del Boletín Oficial del Estado de España que publica la Ley 22/2011, de 28 de julio, de residuos y suelos contaminados. La ley transpone la Directiva Marco de Residuos de la Unión Europea al ordenamiento jurídico español y actualiza la legislación nacional sobre residuos. Establece principios como la jerarquía en la gestión de residuos con énfasis en la prevención y el reciclaje. También define competencias administrativas y establece planes de gestión de residuos a nivel nacional,
The document summarizes an experiment conducted using the SMART information retrieval system from 1964. The SMART system took documents and queries in English, performed content analysis, matched analyzed queries to documents, and retrieved similar items. The experiment used a collection of 1268 library science abstracts to test the SMART system's thesaurus, phrase generation, and statistical term association methods. Relevance judgments were made by original query authors and outside experts, and performance was evaluated based on recall-precision graphs and other measures by comparing different processing methods. The results showed that evaluation generally required examining ranked recall-precision curve performances rather than direct comparison of individual recall and precision values.
This presentation summarizes the key recommendations from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF UK) on reducing cancer risk through lifestyle choices. It discusses the evidence from global studies on how diet, nutrition, physical activity, and weight relate to cancer prevention. The presentation outlines WCRF UK's 10 recommendations, including maintaining a healthy weight, eating a plant-based diet with limited red and processed meats, limiting alcohol intake, and breastfeeding. It emphasizes the important role of health professionals in educating others on cancer prevention through lifestyle.
This document discusses various methods of financial management and capital budgeting. It compares traditional methods like accounting rate of return (ARR) and payback period to more modern time-adjusted methods like net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and profitability index. The traditional methods are simpler but ignore time value and cash flows. The time-adjusted methods account for time value but require more complex cash flow estimation and choosing a discount rate. Overall, discounted cash flow methods like NPV and IRR are more popular for capital budgeting today, though payback period remains commonly used as well.
The document summarizes the results of the author's experiments with different graphic design techniques for use in a graphic novel project. The author tested comic book effect, digital photography, rotoscoping, and illustration techniques. They found that comic book effect and rotoscoping produced high quality, detailed images quickly enough to complete the project on time. While digital photography was simple and fast, the images lacked impact. Illustration took too long. The author concluded they would use comic book effect and rotoscoping due to the speed and quality of the results. They recognize skills with selection tools need improving for rotoscoping, and blending tools for comic book effect. Overall practice with the chosen techniques on Photoshop will help strengthen abilities.
There are four main approaches to organizing curriculum: spiral, concentric, topical, and subject. The spiral approach builds upon previous knowledge by revisiting topics at increasing levels of complexity. The concentric approach teaches the same topics each year with increasing depth and breadth, like concentric circles. The topical approach groups lessons into units centered around topics of interest to students. Finally, the subject approach divides curriculum into distinct subject areas like physics, chemistry, and biology. Each approach has advantages like integrating knowledge, but also disadvantages like potential lack of depth or availability of materials.
