BEST MARKET STRUCTURE FOR A PIPELINE TO FUNCTION IN 7
Hello Angela,
For Deliverable 5, you were asked to submit a 2 page report detailing the current market structure and the anticipated market structure after the pipeline is built. You were also asked to include tables to show the characteristics of each of the above market structures and where our firm conforms or does not conform to the characteristics of the different market structures. Finally, you were asked to explain the impact on price and quantity and any pertinent changes to the firmโs pricing strategy after the change in market structure. Below you will find detailed comments regarding how your work was graded. Please let me know if you have any additional questions regarding how your work was graded.

Best Market Structure for A Pipeline to Function In
Market structure.
In the current world the type of market that exists in the oil company is an Oligopoly Market Structure. Why an Oligopoly? because there are few supplies who deal with an identical commodity and many buyers. Oligopoly is derived from a Greek word Oligo means few hence oligopoly is therefore a market structure where there are few firms. As we all know there are several firms which deal with the supply of oil, our company is one of them. When our company completes the pipeline project the market structure will be forced to change to a monopoly since we will take over the large market and we will be able to gain control of the market in the following ways: First, because we will have control over a large market. Secondly, we will have cut down on some costs which other firms in the industry will still be incurring hence they might be forced out of the market, costs such as transport costs will be reduced in our firm and this will cause a difference between us with other firms. To them it will be additional costs which will make their expenses expensive. Finally, we will gain control over oil supply. In short, the construction of a pipeline will be an added advantage to our company since it will cut down on costs incurred during transportation and moreover it will increase our market coverage. Comment by Chavarria: CORRECT: You provided an accurate explanation of the current market structure, using clear examples and well-defined reasons for proposal recommendation.
Comment by Chavarria: NEEDS REVISION: You were asked to provide an accurate explanation of the anticipated market, using clear examples and well-defined reasons for proposal recommendation. The future market structure assumption is inaccurate since the single pipeline would assume 1 firm in complete control of the pipeline production market.
Oligo.

Conditions for Company Equilibriumย ย
To achieve Equilibrium, a Company must meet two conditions:ย
You need to make sure that the marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost (MR = MC).ย
If MR> MC, the Company has an incentive to expand production and sell additional units.ย
If MR<MC, the Company needs to reduce production because additional units generate more costs than revenue.ย
Only when MR = MC does the Company achieve maximum profit.

The Five Competitive Forces That Shape Strategy
by Michael E. Porter
Editorโs Note: In 1979, Harvard Business Review published โHow Competitive Forces Shape Strategyโ by a young economist
and associate professor, Michael E. Porter. It was his first HBR article, and it started a revolution in the strategy field. In
subsequent decades, Porter has brought his signature economic rigor to the study of competitive strategy for corporations,
regions, nations, and, more recently, health care and philanthropy. โPorterโs five forcesโ have shaped a generation of academic
research and business practice. With prodding and assistance from Harvard Business School Professor Jan Rivkin and
longtime colleague Joan Magretta, Porter here reaffirms, updates, and extends the classic work. He also addresses common
misunderstandings, provides practical guidance for users of the framework, and offers a deeper view of its implications for
strategy today.
In essence, the job of the strategist is to understand and cope with competition. Often, however, managers define competition
too narrowly, as if it occurred only among todayโs direct competitors. Yet competition for profits goes beyond established
industry rivals to include four other competitive forces as well: customers, suppliers, potential entrants, and substitute products.
The extended rivalry that results from all five forces defines an industryโs structure and shapes the nature of competitive
interaction within an industry.
As different from one another as industries might appear on the surface, the underlying drivers of profitability are the same. The
global auto industry, for instance, appears to have nothing in common with the worldwide market for art masterpieces or the
heavily regulated health-care delivery industry in Europe. But to understand industry competition and profitability in each of
those three cases, one must analyze the industryโs underlying structure in terms of the five forces. (See the exhibit โThe Five
Forces That Shape Industry Competition.โ)

If the forces are intense, as they are in such industries as airlines, textiles, and hotels, almost no company earns attractive
returns on investment. If the forces are benign, as they are in industries such as software, soft drinks, and toiletries, many
companies are profitable. Industry structure drives competition and profitability, not whether an industry produces a product or
service, is emerging or mature, high tech or low tech, regulated or unregulated. While a myriad of factors can affect industry
profitability in the short runโincluding the weather and the business cycleโindustry structure, manifested in the competitive
forces, sets industry profitability in the medium and long run. (See the exhibit โDifferences in Industry Profitability.โ)

Five Porter Forces in Motorcycle industry
The porterโs five forces analysis represents the competitive environment of the motorcycle industry. The five forces provide strategic foresight plan of a motorcycle firm to avoid putting the competitive edge at risk and ensure a long-term profitability of the firmโs product(Kung-Sung, 2005). This vision is very important for the motorcycle production companies as they are able to direct there innovations in terms of choice of investments and strategies. The five forces provides a perspective for analyzing and assessing the competitive strength and position of a business organization or corporation. The Porterโs five forces shape the competition of various products from different companies in the motorcycle market. The following five processes therefore will shape the competition of the available products and goods in the motorcycle market: Competitive rivalry within the industry, the threat of now entrants in the economy, the threat of substitutes, the bargaining power of suppliers, and the bargaining power of the customers (Porter, 2008).
Competitive rivalry within the industry
The competition between different firms producing same kind of product will determine the attractiveness of the industry sector. There are many motorcycle-manufacturing companies today. These companies are fighting to maintain relevance and power in the market. The competition will change based on the sector development, diversity and the existence of barriers to firms to enter. It also provides an analysis of the number of products, competitors, brands, strategies, strengths and weaknesses, and market shares. The factors that will determine how well a firm competes with other firms include the number of competitors in the market, the quality differences of the products and other differences, the switching costs, customer loyalty to a particular firm and the cost of leaving the market(Kung-Sung, 2005).
The Threat of new entrants
The new era of technological advancement has seen many new motorcycle firms entering the motorcycle industry. New firms have begun manufacturing motorcycles of various types, which brings a great threat to the existing companies. The need for more vehicles due to the increasing population has been the motivation behind the increase of new entrants in the market. New entrants will result to competition for the market of their products, which may result to lower profits if the company is beaten in the competition. Therefore, it is the interest of every company to create barriers to prevent its competitors from entering the market. New entrants may be new companies or companies that intent to diversify. The barriers may be industrial (products or single brands) or legal (patent regulations). The arrival of new entrants .
This document defines different market structures and their key characteristics. It discusses perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly. For each structure, it provides the number of firms, product types, barriers to entry, real world examples, and how demand and supply behave. The objectives are to understand how these structures differ and why they exist. Market structures help firms determine pricing strategies and output levels to maximize profits.
The document summarizes Michael Porter's five forces framework for analyzing industry competition and profitability. It discusses each of the five competitive forces - threat of new entrants, bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of buyers, threat of substitute products, and rivalry among existing competitors. For each force, it outlines how to assess the level of competition from that force and provides examples to illustrate how the forces shape industry competition and profitability. The five forces framework is used to understand the underlying structure of an industry and anticipate how profitability and competition may evolve over time.
This document summarizes Michael Porter's framework of the five competitive forces that shape industry competition and profitability. The five competitive forces are the threat of new entrants, the bargaining power of suppliers, the bargaining power of buyers, the threat of substitute products, and rivalry among existing competitors. Understanding how these forces interact in an industry allows companies to develop strategies to enhance long-term profits, such as positioning in areas where competitive forces are weakest. Porter provides examples of industries like commercial aviation that have many intense competitive forces, resulting in low profitability, and industries like software that have more benign forces and higher profits.

Competitive analysis of the organization
It is important for any organization to thrive and succeed in their business markets. It is also vital for these particular firms to develop the need to analyze their competitorโs needs and strategies. Understanding competitor analysis however is important in ascertaining marketing planning strategies and processes. Strong competitors perhaps can hinder best performances of the firm and its general success, and at an advanced stages, it can lead to total failures. Competitive analysis however enables firms to anticipate their close competitorโs actions and that can enable the organization to exploit competitorโs weaknesses. The strategy also enables firms to identify their most unique selling points. The identification of the selling points however can be strengthened trough marketing campaigns. Competitive analysis however enables and aids successful competitors to continuously develop their best marketing strategies in acute response to the changes in the market place.
Based on porterโs five competitive forces, these strategies were developed basically as a framework for assessing and evaluating the business competitive strength and the firmโs business position. This strategy believes in the notion that five forces exist that determines the competitiveness and attractiveness of the market. It also identifies greatly where power lies in a business situation. Porterโs specifications are therefore important in realizing the strengths of the organization current competitive position, and it also predicts the organizational strength in the future. The forces however can be used by strategic analysts at advanced stages to realize if new products or services that prevail in the business environment are potentially profitable.
They can also use it to ascertain the areas that posses more strength, this will help in improving weaknesses and helps to avoid mistakes.

Supplier power is the certainty of how suppliers make it easy to drive and raise prices. Normally, supplier power is driven by the number of suppliers for each particular input, the available of their products and services, the strengths supplier posses and the relative cost of switching from one particular supplier to the other. Suppliers posses power when: there are very few suppliers of a particular product, when substitute donโt exist, when the product is extremely important to the potential buyer who cannot do without it and also the degree of differentiation of inputs
Buyer power.Buyerโs posses the potential of lowering prices. This is normally ascertained by the number of buyers existing in the market. It is also related to the individual buyer to the organization. Cost of ...
This document discusses competitor analysis and brand development. It begins by defining competitors as either direct or indirect. Direct competitors offer similar products, while indirect competitors satisfy similar needs. It then discusses Porter's five forces model for analyzing competition, including the threat of new entrants, substitute products, rivalry between firms, supplier power, and buyer power. A large part of the document focuses on branding, defining it as a way to differentiate products and create monopoly power. It traces the history of branding from agricultural practices to modern marketing strategies. Branding allows firms to charge premium prices and build long-term, stable demand.

1. (a)In your handout for protein kinase A, there is a table of known substrate
sequences, in other words sequences of peptides phosphorylated by PKA. Please do your
best to align the substrate sequences provided, and from the alignment, predict what a good
consensus substrate for PKA will be. To present your alignment, please use an equal width
font for the protein sequences (Courier or Courier New work well). Highlight the P(0)
residue, P(-1) etc.
(b)The regulatory subunit (R) of protein kinase A has a short sequence
(RRRRGAISA that is critical for inhibiting the activity of the kinase catalytic subunit. This
short sequence of the R-subunit actually sits in the active site cleft of PKA in the
crystallographically-determined structure of the inhibited RC complex. Can you deduce
what the function of this sequence is? Using the answer to part (a) as a guide, please align
the inhibitory sequence with the known substrate sequences to deduce how this sequence
likely functions to inhibit PKA. Furthermore, using your class notes, can you make a guess
at which residues on PKA might interact with specific residues from the R-inhibitory
peptide?
2. For a regularly spaced 1-Dimensional array of atoms (spacing =13 ร ) calculate the
total number of diffraction maxima and their scattering angles (for perfect in phase
scattering from the atoms in the 1-D array) between scattering angles of zero and ninety
degrees Use a wavelength of d=1.25 ร . Please include a drawing to explain the diffraction
condition and show your calculations.
3. Using site specific mutagenesis to change residues in the substrate binding cleft of
PKA (not residues involved in catalytic roles), how would you alter PKAโs substrate
specificity at P-3, and P-2 to Glu and P+1 to Asn? By this, I mean how would you
specifically make mutations in the PKA enzyme amino acid sequence (not the substrate
sequence) that would select for binding and phosphorylation of a peptide sequence that
would clearly differ from the known substrate sequence preferred by PKA as outlined
above. Be sure to clearly highlight exactly what residues in the PKA sequence you would
have to change (and to what amino acid) to achieve this.
4. The following lines of data describe the atomic coordinates for an arginine residue in
a protein molecule in PDB (protein data bank) format. Since proteins are three-dimensional
objects, the position of each atom is specified in space by its X, Y and Z coordinates. On each
line of a PDB formatted file, the atom number is given, the atom type is next (e.g. N-
backbone nitrogen, backbone carbonyl oxygen etc), the residue name (here ARG 431 in chain
D; in this instance the protein crystal contains four independent copies of the polypeptide
chain, labelled A through D), then the X-coordinate for that atom, the Y-coordinate for that
atom and the Z-coo.

The allelopathic effects of the Pinus Rigada on Raphanus Sativus
A. Student
October 22, 2015
Georgia Military College
Introduction
In a garden, Raphanus sativus were planted near other vegetables that were considered โcompanion plantsโ, but the R. sativus plantwas not exhibiting any real growth. Overhead Eastern pitch pine trees (Pinus Rigida) were growing and knowing that pine trees typically exhibit allelopathic tendencies, determining whether P. rigida was to blame or whether there was another contributing factor was important in getting to the root of the problem. To discover if the P. rigida were possibly inhibiting the growth, a study was done to determine if there was any connection between the stunted growth of the R. sativusand the P.rigida. The primary goal of this study was to gather and analyze data on the effects of the P. rigida on the growth of R. sativus. This was done to determine whether P. rigida exhibited allelopathic traits towards the seeds of R. sativus.
The R. sativus is a cultigen, meaning it has been altered by humans and is the result of artificial selection. They belong to the Brassicaceae family, which includes turnips (Brassica rapa), cabbage and relatives (Brassica oleracea) and horseradish (Armoracia rusticana). The name Raphanus refers to the radishes ability to rapidly germinate and is derived from the greek language: ra, meaning quickly and phainomai, meaning to appear. (Plants & Fungi)
Allelopathy is the secretion of chemical substances by plants that inhibit the growth of a competing species. (Allelopathy) A study was done on Pinus halepinsus and the possible allelopathic effects of its needles. In growth chambers, plastic pots consisting of 6(g), 8(g), and 12(g) of pine needle tissue and screened perlite were used to perform this study. Three different physiological stages of pine needles were collected from the P. halepinsus; fresh, senesced, and decaying. The pots containing the pine needle tissue were then seeded with tall fescue, Bermuda grass, or oat at 20, 20, and 3 seeds per pot. The needles tissue of the P. halepinsus in the perlite substrate reduced growth and development of the tall fescue and Bermuda grass. This suggests that toxic chemicals were excreted through the pine needle tissue. Growth inhibition was dependent on the type of pine and the amount incorporated into the pot. From the results, it was concluded that inhibitory compounds were within the pine needle tissue and were more apparent in fresh needles than senesced and decaying needles. (Nektarios, 2005)
The Eastern P. rigidia is from the same family of trees as P. halepinsus called Pinaceae. Being from the same family, it is possible that they exhibit the same allelopathic traits. The inhibited growth of the R. sativus may be caused from possible allelopathic effects of the pine needles from the P. rigidia. If radish (R. sativus) seeds are exposed to extracts from the pitch pine tree (P. rigidi.

Bill of Rights
When the Constitution was completed in the summer of 1787, approval by representatives from nine of the thirteen states was needed for it to become the nationโs law. The issue of individual rights was managedโthough this, too, created conflict among the Framersโwith the addition of the Bill of Rights. Change was written into the supreme law of the land; since then, legal institutionalization of changes has occurred. Since the Constitutionโs adoption, change has taken place through the amendment process identified in the Constitution. Change has also occurred under the direction of the branches of government established in the Constitution: the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary.

Editorโs Note: In 1979, Harvard Business Review
published โHow Competitive Forces Shape Strat-
egyโ by a young economist and associate professor,
Michael E. Porter. It was his fi rst HBR article, and it
started a revolution in the strategy fi eld. In subsequent
decades, Porter has brought his signature economic
rigor to the study of competitive strategy for corpora-
tions, regions, nations, and, more recently, health care
and philanthropy. โPorterโs fi ve forcesโ have shaped a
generation of academic research and business practice.
With prodding and assistance from Harvard Business
School Professor Jan Rivkin and longtime colleague
Joan Magretta, Porter here reaffi rms, updates, and
extends the classic work. He also addresses common
misunderstandings, provides practical guidance for
users of the framework, and offers a deeper view of
its implications for strategy today.

Five Porter Forces in Motorcycle industry
The porterโs five forces analysis represents the competitive environment of the motorcycle industry. The five forces provide strategic foresight plan of a motorcycle firm to avoid putting the competitive edge at risk and ensure a long-term profitability of the firmโs product(Kung-Sung, 2005). This vision is very important for the motorcycle production companies as they are able to direct there innovations in terms of choice of investments and strategies. The five forces provides a perspective for analyzing and assessing the competitive strength and position of a business organization or corporation. The Porterโs five forces shape the competition of various products from different companies in the motorcycle market. The following five processes therefore will shape the competition of the available products and goods in the motorcycle market: Competitive rivalry within the industry, the threat of now entrants in the economy, the threat of substitutes, the bargaining power of suppliers, and the bargaining power of the customers (Porter, 2008).
Competitive rivalry within the industry
The competition between different firms producing same kind of product will determine the attractiveness of the industry sector. There are many motorcycle-manufacturing companies today. These companies are fighting to maintain relevance and power in the market. The competition will change based on the sector development, diversity and the existence of barriers to firms to enter. It also provides an analysis of the number of products, competitors, brands, strategies, strengths and weaknesses, and market shares. The factors that will determine how well a firm competes with other firms include the number of competitors in the market, the quality differences of the products and other differences, the switching costs, customer loyalty to a particular firm and the cost of leaving the market(Kung-Sung, 2005).
The Threat of new entrants
The new era of technological advancement has seen many new motorcycle firms entering the motorcycle industry. New firms have begun manufacturing motorcycles of various types, which brings a great threat to the existing companies. The need for more vehicles due to the increasing population has been the motivation behind the increase of new entrants in the market. New entrants will result to competition for the market of their products, which may result to lower profits if the company is beaten in the competition. Therefore, it is the interest of every company to create barriers to prevent its competitors from entering the market. New entrants may be new companies or companies that intent to diversify. The barriers may be industrial (products or single brands) or legal (patent regulations). The arrival of new entrants .
This document defines different market structures and their key characteristics. It discusses perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly. For each structure, it provides the number of firms, product types, barriers to entry, real world examples, and how demand and supply behave. The objectives are to understand how these structures differ and why they exist. Market structures help firms determine pricing strategies and output levels to maximize profits.
The document summarizes Michael Porter's five forces framework for analyzing industry competition and profitability. It discusses each of the five competitive forces - threat of new entrants, bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of buyers, threat of substitute products, and rivalry among existing competitors. For each force, it outlines how to assess the level of competition from that force and provides examples to illustrate how the forces shape industry competition and profitability. The five forces framework is used to understand the underlying structure of an industry and anticipate how profitability and competition may evolve over time.
This document summarizes Michael Porter's framework of the five competitive forces that shape industry competition and profitability. The five competitive forces are the threat of new entrants, the bargaining power of suppliers, the bargaining power of buyers, the threat of substitute products, and rivalry among existing competitors. Understanding how these forces interact in an industry allows companies to develop strategies to enhance long-term profits, such as positioning in areas where competitive forces are weakest. Porter provides examples of industries like commercial aviation that have many intense competitive forces, resulting in low profitability, and industries like software that have more benign forces and higher profits.

Running Head: Competitive Analysis of the Organization 6
Competitive analysis of the organization
It is important for any organization to thrive and succeed in their business markets. It is also vital for these particular firms to develop the need to analyze their competitorโs needs and strategies. Understanding competitor analysis however is important in ascertaining marketing planning strategies and processes. Strong competitors perhaps can hinder best performances of the firm and its general success, and at an advanced stages, it can lead to total failures. Competitive analysis however enables firms to anticipate their close competitorโs actions and that can enable the organization to exploit competitorโs weaknesses. The strategy also enables firms to identify their most unique selling points. The identification of the selling points however can be strengthened trough marketing campaigns. Competitive analysis however enables and aids successful competitors to continuously develop their best marketing strategies in acute response to the changes in the market place.
Based on porterโs five competitive forces, these strategies were developed basically as a framework for assessing and evaluating the business competitive strength and the firmโs business position. This strategy believes in the notion that five forces exist that determines the competitiveness and attractiveness of the market. It also identifies greatly where power lies in a business situation. Porterโs specifications are therefore important in realizing the strengths of the organization current competitive position, and it also predicts the organizational strength in the future. The forces however can be used by strategic analysts at advanced stages to realize if new products or services that prevail in the business environment are potentially profitable.
They can also use it to ascertain the areas that posses more strength, this will help in improving weaknesses and helps to avoid mistakes.

Supplier power is the certainty of how suppliers make it easy to drive and raise prices. Normally, supplier power is driven by the number of suppliers for each particular input, the available of their products and services, the strengths supplier posses and the relative cost of switching from one particular supplier to the other. Suppliers posses power when: there are very few suppliers of a particular product, when substitute donโt exist, when the product is extremely important to the potential buyer who cannot do without it and also the degree of differentiation of inputs
Buyer power.Buyerโs posses the potential of lowering prices. This is normally ascertained by the number of buyers existing in the market. It is also related to the individual buyer to the organization. Cost of ...
This document discusses competitor analysis and brand development. It begins by defining competitors as either direct or indirect. Direct competitors offer similar products, while indirect competitors satisfy similar needs. It then discusses Porter's five forces model for analyzing competition, including the threat of new entrants, substitute products, rivalry between firms, supplier power, and buyer power. A large part of the document focuses on branding, defining it as a way to differentiate products and create monopoly power. It traces the history of branding from agricultural practices to modern marketing strategies. Branding allows firms to charge premium prices and build long-term, stable demand.

1. (a)In your handout for protein kinase A, there is a table of known substrate
sequences, in other words sequences of peptides phosphorylated by PKA. Please do your
best to align the substrate sequences provided, and from the alignment, predict what a good
consensus substrate for PKA will be. To present your alignment, please use an equal width
font for the protein sequences (Courier or Courier New work well). Highlight the P(0)
residue, P(-1) etc.
(b)The regulatory subunit (R) of protein kinase A has a short sequence
(RRRRGAISA that is critical for inhibiting the activity of the kinase catalytic subunit. This
short sequence of the R-subunit actually sits in the active site cleft of PKA in the
crystallographically-determined structure of the inhibited RC complex. Can you deduce
what the function of this sequence is? Using the answer to part (a) as a guide, please align
the inhibitory sequence with the known substrate sequences to deduce how this sequence
likely functions to inhibit PKA. Furthermore, using your class notes, can you make a guess
at which residues on PKA might interact with specific residues from the R-inhibitory
peptide?
2. For a regularly spaced 1-Dimensional array of atoms (spacing =13 ร ) calculate the
total number of diffraction maxima and their scattering angles (for perfect in phase
scattering from the atoms in the 1-D array) between scattering angles of zero and ninety
degrees Use a wavelength of d=1.25 ร . Please include a drawing to explain the diffraction
condition and show your calculations.
3. Using site specific mutagenesis to change residues in the substrate binding cleft of
PKA (not residues involved in catalytic roles), how would you alter PKAโs substrate
specificity at P-3, and P-2 to Glu and P+1 to Asn? By this, I mean how would you
specifically make mutations in the PKA enzyme amino acid sequence (not the substrate
sequence) that would select for binding and phosphorylation of a peptide sequence that
would clearly differ from the known substrate sequence preferred by PKA as outlined
above. Be sure to clearly highlight exactly what residues in the PKA sequence you would
have to change (and to what amino acid) to achieve this.
4. The following lines of data describe the atomic coordinates for an arginine residue in
a protein molecule in PDB (protein data bank) format. Since proteins are three-dimensional
objects, the position of each atom is specified in space by its X, Y and Z coordinates. On each
line of a PDB formatted file, the atom number is given, the atom type is next (e.g. N-
backbone nitrogen, backbone carbonyl oxygen etc), the residue name (here ARG 431 in chain
D; in this instance the protein crystal contains four independent copies of the polypeptide
chain, labelled A through D), then the X-coordinate for that atom, the Y-coordinate for that
atom and the Z-coo.

The allelopathic effects of the Pinus Rigada on Raphanus Sativus
A. Student
October 22, 2015
Georgia Military College
Introduction
In a garden, Raphanus sativus were planted near other vegetables that were considered โcompanion plantsโ, but the R. sativus plantwas not exhibiting any real growth. Overhead Eastern pitch pine trees (Pinus Rigida) were growing and knowing that pine trees typically exhibit allelopathic tendencies, determining whether P. rigida was to blame or whether there was another contributing factor was important in getting to the root of the problem. To discover if the P. rigida were possibly inhibiting the growth, a study was done to determine if there was any connection between the stunted growth of the R. sativusand the P.rigida. The primary goal of this study was to gather and analyze data on the effects of the P. rigida on the growth of R. sativus. This was done to determine whether P. rigida exhibited allelopathic traits towards the seeds of R. sativus.
The R. sativus is a cultigen, meaning it has been altered by humans and is the result of artificial selection. They belong to the Brassicaceae family, which includes turnips (Brassica rapa), cabbage and relatives (Brassica oleracea) and horseradish (Armoracia rusticana). The name Raphanus refers to the radishes ability to rapidly germinate and is derived from the greek language: ra, meaning quickly and phainomai, meaning to appear. (Plants & Fungi)
Allelopathy is the secretion of chemical substances by plants that inhibit the growth of a competing species. (Allelopathy) A study was done on Pinus halepinsus and the possible allelopathic effects of its needles. In growth chambers, plastic pots consisting of 6(g), 8(g), and 12(g) of pine needle tissue and screened perlite were used to perform this study. Three different physiological stages of pine needles were collected from the P. halepinsus; fresh, senesced, and decaying. The pots containing the pine needle tissue were then seeded with tall fescue, Bermuda grass, or oat at 20, 20, and 3 seeds per pot. The needles tissue of the P. halepinsus in the perlite substrate reduced growth and development of the tall fescue and Bermuda grass. This suggests that toxic chemicals were excreted through the pine needle tissue. Growth inhibition was dependent on the type of pine and the amount incorporated into the pot. From the results, it was concluded that inhibitory compounds were within the pine needle tissue and were more apparent in fresh needles than senesced and decaying needles. (Nektarios, 2005)
The Eastern P. rigidia is from the same family of trees as P. halepinsus called Pinaceae. Being from the same family, it is possible that they exhibit the same allelopathic traits. The inhibited growth of the R. sativus may be caused from possible allelopathic effects of the pine needles from the P. rigidia. If radish (R. sativus) seeds are exposed to extracts from the pitch pine tree (P. rigidi.

Bill of Rights
When the Constitution was completed in the summer of 1787, approval by representatives from nine of the thirteen states was needed for it to become the nationโs law. The issue of individual rights was managedโthough this, too, created conflict among the Framersโwith the addition of the Bill of Rights. Change was written into the supreme law of the land; since then, legal institutionalization of changes has occurred. Since the Constitutionโs adoption, change has taken place through the amendment process identified in the Constitution. Change has also occurred under the direction of the branches of government established in the Constitution: the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary.

The Difference between Data and Information
Introduction
Most of the individuals have the belief that the term information and data are interchangeable and have the same meaning. Nevertheless, there exists a unique difference between the two terms. Data can refer to any character, word, text, or number and if it is not placed into context, doesn't mean anything or means very little to humans. Information may be in its context a data which is formatted in such a way allowing it to be used by people in certain vital situations. Understanding the differences between data and information is essential because it helps to eradicate the apparent confusion brought about by the application of the two terms in organizations and other relevant professions.
Data
Data refers to the grouping of details and facts such as figures, texts, symbols, observations, or merely descriptions of certain things, entities or events collected with the aim of creating inferences. It represents the raw facts which require processing to obtain the information which needed for action to be taken upon a given situation (Silverman, 2018). It is mostly known to entail such things as characters and statements, as well as numbers before undergoing refining by the individual involved in its extraction who in this case is known as the researcher.
The word data is derived from the Latin word called datum which means something given. Data is therefore offered and provided by individuals involved in the survey process. Its concept is thus linked to the scientific research which included a collection of data and analysis before interpreting it to come up with the exact information regarding a given situation (Silverman, 2018). It is often gathered by several organizations, institutions, government departments as well as non-governmental agencies and bodies for various distinct reasons. Data exists in two major forms namely primary and secondary data.

Term Paper Proposal
After carefully examining the syllabus and textbook the country of my choice in which I
would enjoy conducting thorough research on is the nation of Turkey. The recent tensions flaring
up in Syria, President Donald Trump is withdrawing U.S troops after he threatens to โdevastateโ
Turkeyโs economy if they attack Kurdish forces; leaving Turkey to worried the future of their
national security. In such a country where religion and political turmoil merge it is close to
impossible to predict the future of their actions. These events have sparked my interest in
learning more about the political, economic, and social relations in Turkey.
Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey which was once ruled by both Christian and Muslim
empires. After World War 1, the Ottoman Empire sits defeated which led to the Turkish War of
Independence in 1919 โ leading to the overthrow and downfall of Sultan Mehmet VI Vahdettin.
Next, the Republic of Turkey is founded by Kemal Ataturk, a national hero, later named as the
first President of Turkey. On October 29, 1923, a new Turkish constitution replaced the
constitution of the Ottoman Empire, forever marking the independence of the nation.
In addition, using library databases from the State College of Florida will allow me to
find books, magazines, and academic articles regarding the political sanctions enforced in
Turkey. One of the things I would hope to learn during research assignment is not only how
politics is done in Turkey but its relationships in regards to other countries. Finally, achieving
approval for this paper will allow me to learn more about the political structure in Turkey.

BIG DATA
Prepared By
Muhammad Abrar Uddin
Introduction
ยท Big Data may well be the Next Big Thing in the IT world.
ยท Big data burst upon the scene in the first decade of the 21st century.
ยท The first organizations to embrace it were online and startup firms. Firms like Google, eBay, LinkedIn, and Facebook were built around big data from the beginning.
ยท Like many new information technologies, big data can bring about dramatic cost reductions, substantial improvements in the time required to perform a computing task, or new product and service offerings.
What is BIG DATA?
ยท โBig Dataโ is similar to โsmall dataโ, but bigger in
size
ยท but having data bigger it requires different approaches:
โ Techniques, tools and architecture
ยท an aim to solve new problems or old problems in a better way
ยท Big Data generates value from the storage and processing of very large quantities of digital information that cannot be analyzed with traditional computing techniques.
What is BIG DATA
ยท Walmart handles more than 1 million customer transactions every hour.
ยท Facebook handles 40 billion photos from its user base.
ยท Decoding the human genome originally took 10years to process; now it can be achieved in one week.

Abstract: In this paper we present a SOA (Service Oriented Architecture)-based platform, enabling the retrieval and
analysis of big datasets stemming from social networking (SN) sites and Internet of Things (IoT) devices,
collected by smart city applications and socially-aware data aggregation services. A large set of city
applications in the areas of Participating Urbanism, Augmented Reality and Sound-Mapping throughout
participating cities is being applied, resulting into produced sets of millions of user-generated events and
online SN reports fed into the RADICAL platform. Moreover, we study the application of data analytics such
as sentiment analysis to the combined IoT and SN data saved into an SQL database, further investigating
algorithmic and configurations to minimize delays in dataset processing and results retrieval.
1 INTRODUCTION
Modern cities are increasingly turning towards
ICT technology for confronting pressures associated
with demographic changes, urbanization, climate
change (Romero Lankao, 2008) and globalization.
Therefore, most cities have undertaken significant
investments during the last decade in ICT
infrastructure including computers, broadband
connectivity and recently sensing infrastructures.
These infrastructures have empowered a number of
innovative services in areas such as participatory
sensing, urban logistics and ambient assisted living.
Such services have been extensively deployed in
several cities, thereby demonstrating the potential
benefits of ICT infrastructures for businesses and the
citizens themselves. During the last few years we
have also witnessed an explosion of sensor
deployments and social networking services, along
with the emergence of social networking (Conti et al.,
2011) and internetโofโthings technologies (Perera et
al., 2013; Sundmaeker et al., 2010) Social and sensor
networks can be combined in order to offer a variety
of addedโvalue services for smart cities, as has
already been demonstrated by various early internetโ
ofโthings applications (such as WikiCity(Calabrese et
al., 2007), CitySense(Murty et al., 2007),
GoogleLatitude(Page and Kobsa, 2010)), as.

Big Data Risks and Rewards (good length and at least 3-4 references everything in APA 7 format)
When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.
From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.
As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big dataโlarge, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewardsโand significant risksโto healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.

Hello Angela,
For Deliverable 5, you were asked to submit a 2 page report
detailing the current market structure and the anticipated market
structure after the pipeline is built. You were also asked to
include tables to show the characteristics of each of the above
market structures and where our firm conforms or does not
conform to the characteristics of the different market structures.
Finally, you were asked to explain the impact on price and
quantity and any pertinent changes to the firmโs pricing strategy
after the change in market structure. Below you will find
detailed comments regarding how your work was graded. Please
let me know if you have any additional questions regarding how
your work was graded.

Best Market Structure for a Pipeline to Function in

Author Note
This paper is being submitted on February 7, 2019, for
Audra Sherwoodโs, Managerial Economics course.
2. Best Market Structure for A Pipeline to Function In
Market structure.
In the current world the type of market that exists in the oil
company is an Oligopoly Market Structure. Why an Oligopoly?
because there are few supplies who deal with an identical
commodity and many buyers. Oligopoly is derived from a
Greek word Oligo means few hence oligopoly is therefore a
market structure where there are few firms. As we all know
there are several firms which deal with the supply of oil, our
company is one of them. When our company completes the
pipeline project the market structure will be forced to change to
a monopoly since we will take over the large market and we will
be able to gain control of the market in the following ways:
First, because we will have control over a large market.
Secondly, we will have cut down on some costs which other
firms in the industry will still be incurring hence they might be
forced out of the market, costs such as transport costs will be
reduced in our firm and this will cause a difference between us
with other firms. To them it will be additional costs which will
make their expenses expensive. Finally, we will gain control
over oil supply. In short, the construction of a pipeline will be
an added advantage to our company since it will cut down on
costs incurred during transportation and moreover it will
increase our market coverage. Comment by Chavarria:
CORRECT: You provided an accurate explanation of the current
market structure, using clear examples and well-defined reasons
for proposal recommendation.
Comment by Chavarria: NEEDS REVISION: You were
3. asked to provide an accurate explanation of the anticipated
market, using clear examples and well-defined reasons for
proposal recommendation. The future market structure
assumption is inaccurate since the single pipeline would assume
1 firm in complete control of the pipeline production market.
Oligopoly Market Structure
Monopoly Market Structure
Characteristics of the monopoly and oligopoly Market
Structures
Monopoly
Oligopoly
There is only one supplier for the entire market, hence the firm
is the industry.
There are a few suppliers and many buyers.
There is price discrimination since a firm has a monopolistic
power.
There is price rigidity since all firms in the market faces a
kinked curve.
The prices are fixed by the sole supplier.
The prices are determined by the firms in the industry.
The sole company enjoy all profits
There is conflicts among the companies as they fight for the
profits.
The commodity supplied lacks close substitutes.
The few suppliers enjoy a monopoly type of power amongst
themselves.
4. According to [Baumol, 1961; Yadav, 1995] the characteristics
of the monopoly type of market our company already faces a big
challenge where it is difficult for other firms to enter into the
market because for example the added costs the company will
incur or because the existing company may be enjoying a large
economy of scale. To enter the market as you can clearly see
requires an art of planning. To my opinion building a railway
line as already proposed is a good ideabecause our company
will be able to command a bigger size of the market.(Horowitz,
1981; Belk, 1975.] The result would be that we will pose
competition to the OPEC company that is dominant currently by
first offering affordable prices hence more customers will prefer
to associate themselves with us since we will have offered them
a better alternative.
An oligopoly describes a market structure which is dominated
by only a small number of firms. This results in a state of
limited competition. Our company will have to take advantage
to gain economic power in the market since there will be only
one big threat .It will also mean we will have an equal chance to
make profits and with time we may even overtake the current
monopoly. If we keenly analyze this matter we will discover
that the pipeline will cater for transportation hence the
consumers will not have to hire trucks to collect the oil hence
this will be an added advantage to the consumers who are
located far away from the refinery company and this will be a
big blow to the existing company.

How I Will Take Individual Perceptions into Consideration in
Conflict Management
It is worth noting that the perception of a situation is a key
factor that affects the choice of action regarding that situation.
8. Conflicts in the workplace are inevitable given the fact that
there is diversity and culture differences among the individual
employees. Undeniably, when handling and dealing with
conflicts in the work place, it is my belief that understanding
individual perceptions is vital. Importantly, individuals have
different perspectives of viewing similar situations which can
be said to be the major cause of workplace conflicts (McShane,
Von Glinow, M. A. Y., & Von Glinow, M. A. 2019). In my
place of work, hospital, I take individual perceptions into
consideration in conflict management. I for instance must
understand the underlying factors that have led to the conflict
that relate to a common situation perceived differently.
Moreover, it is important to understand each partyโs viewpoint
or perspective regarding the situation. With each partyโs
perspective at hand, I would then proceed to communicate the
objectives involved with the conflicting parties so that they feel
that their perspective is taken into consideration and carries the
same weight as the other partyโs when managing the conflict.
As noted in this weekโs reading, more communication provides
a better chance of defining and articulating objectives within an
organization so that people do not conflict with each other
(Jarden, et al., 2019). It should however be noted that over
communicating can create confusion and have a negative effect
on conflict. It is a balance of understanding perceptions and
communicating the correct information that does favor any one
side of the parties in a conflict. Therefore, in conflict
management in the workplace, it is important to employ
strategies that correct the perceived differences of individuals
in a positive manner making such conflicts to be functional as
opposed to being dysfunctional.

Organizational Structure and Culture
Kimberly Davis
January 13, 2019
Professor Goodman
In the assignments for this week it has given me a lot of
insight into Organizational Structures. It has also given some
insight into the culture that comes with it. One of the structures
that found interesting is organizational behavior and how
pertains to business. Employers like to hire people that are
driven and want to help the company grow.
A companyโs culture is how the business is running and
they want people that will follow their culture. They believe in
customer excellence. I work for a very large healthcare
corporation called Partners Healthcare. Although the facility is
large, the organizational make up is Supportive. Partners
encourages support and just culture. In my department I manage
under the supportive and Collegial models. I see that being a
part of the team is crucial in the growth of my department and I
also encourage openness and the open-door policy
I believe that Organizational Structure is good for
companies. It helps with how a company should be ran. A
companies culture is good for the company and employees to
learn their cultures and keep them going.
13. WORK PLACE PERCEPTION

Work Place Perception
Kimberly Davis
Southern New Hampshire University
01/20/2019
Perception is the process in which an individual is can interpret
a phenomenon around them and the behavior of others in the
same. It can influence how they arrive at a decision. Perception
is common in the workplace; it affects how employees operate,
and how they conduct themselves. The actions and behaviors I
exhibit at my workplace are influenced mainly by perception.
The most common perception is as follows:
Halo effect
Fiske (2018), suggest that this kind of perception is where an
employee may perceive other colleagues and like a particular
aspect about them without a specific reason behind their choice.
For instance, in my workplace, a hospital, there is a strict dress
code (Scrubs) in the Operating Room. I look presentable while
14. out of the Operating Room. However, my other colleagues dress
casually. My choice of dress is a policy made by my immediate
Director as well as top management. My boss always wears
suitable clothing every day. In my view, her choice of clothing
is a way to communicate to other employees of the need to be
presentable even though there is no strict rule for this aspect at
the company. I have come to admire her clothing choices, and
as a result, I prefer wearing business clothes when I attend
meetings as a way to look professional all times. I only wear
scrubs when I am in the OR.
Skipping lunch breaks
Skipping lunch is common at my current workplace, many
senior employees prefer to eat in the office as a way to save
more time while working. They, therefore, prefer eating a snack
rather than eating lunch before resuming their work. As for the
junior employees they prefer to eat out during lunch break. The
reason for these senior employees to eat lunch in the office is
that they can, in turn, create extra time to do other meaningful
tasks and as a result, they get their work done earlier before a
deadline. And as a result, most of them their work is done in
advance, and the pressure remains with the junior employees.
Although this practice is not in the company policies, it is a
very useful tool for time management; the senior managers
would instead go for a late lunch at after office hour say 5 p.m.
This action has influenced me in deciding to skip meals, this
way I am also able to work on my projects and finish them on
time.
Research
When doing my presentations at my workplace, my senior
supervisors tend to ask questions that may be directly related to
the topic that is being presented. As one way of gauging
whether I can understand the dynamics to a greater extent. This
is a clear message to all the junior employees that they need to
continually research and stay up to date on policy and guideline
changes. This has enabled me to be always research publications
relating to my role at work. As a result, I have developed a
15. habit for continuous study and research into emerging issues in
healthcare. This has prepared me with the necessary knowledge
which in turn makes me stay ahead of the rest of my colleagues
(Wiltshire et al, 2014).

Hello Angela,
For Deliverable 5, you were asked to submit a 2 page report
detailing the current market
structure and the anticipated market structure after the pipeline
is built. You were also asked to
include tables to show the characteristics of each of the above
market structures and where our
firm conforms or does not conform to the characteristics of the
different market structures.
Finally, you were asked to explain the impact on price and
quantity and any pertinent changes to
the firmโs pricing strategy after the change in market structure.
Below you will find detailed
comments regarding how your work was graded. Please let me
29. know if you have any additional
questions regarding how your work was graded.

In the current world the type of market that exists in the oil
company sector is a monopoly. Why
a monopoly? Because, there is one supplier for the entire market
which is our company. Hence
the firm is the industry. In this market there are many buyers
and a seller known as a monopolist
therefore there is no competition in the market. Moreover the
commodity being supplied has no
close substitute that will pose competition. As a result prices
are fixed by the company which
indeed has the monopoly power and this often results to price
discrimination upon the consumer.
When we complete this pipeline project we will have entered
the monopolistic market and as a
result the market structure will absolutely be forced to change
since we will be the second firm to
enter the industry. The market structure will be forced to change
to oligopoly market. Oligopoly
is derived from a Greek word Oligo means few hence oligopoly
is therefore a market structure
34. where there are few firms. This will give us an added advantage
where we will use the loopholes
to take control of the market by standardizing the price and we
will be able to compete favorably
with the existing company.

Commented [MC1]: NEEDS REVISION: You were asked to
provide an accurate explanation of the current market structure,
using clear examples and well-defined reasons for proposal
recommendation. Your response is inaccurate since oil
companies
always exist in market structures that are heavily concentrated,
producing a good that reflects inelastic demand.
Commented [MC2]: NEEDS REVISION: You were asked to
provide an accurate explanation of the anticipated market, using
clear examples and well-defined reasons for proposal
recommendation. The future market structure assumption is
inaccurate since the single pipeline would assume 1 firm in
complete
control of the pipeline production market.

35. Characteristics of the monopoly and oligopoly Market
Structures
Monopoly Oligopoly
There is only one supplier for the entire
market, hence the firm is definitely the
industry.
There are a few suppliers and many buyers.
There is price discrimination since a firm has a
monopolistic power.
There is price rigidity since all firms in the
market faces a kinked curve.
The prices are fixed by the sole supplier. The prices are
determined by the firms in the
industry.
The sole company enjoy all profits There is conflicts among the
companies as they
fight for the profits.
The commodity supplied lacks close
36. substitutes.
The few suppliers enjoy a monopoly type of
power amongst themselves.
According to [Baumol, 1961; Yadav, 1995] the characteristics
of the monopoly type of
market our company already faces a big challenge where it is
difficult for other firms to enter

into the market because for example the added costs the
company will incur or because the
existing company may be enjoying a large economy of scale. To
enter the market as you can
clearly see requires an art of planning. To my opinion building
a railway line as already proposed
is a good ideabecause our company will be able to command a
bigger size of the
market.(Horowitz, 1981; Belk, 1975.] The result would be that
we will pose competition to the
OPEC company that is dominant currently by first offering
37. affordable prices hence more
customers will prefer to associate themselves with us since we
will have offered them a better
alternative.
An oligopoly describes a market structure which is dominated
by only a small number
of firms. This results in a state of limited competition. Our
company will have to take advantage
to gain economic power in the market since there will be only
one big threat .It will also mean
we will have an equal chance to make profits and with time we
may even overtake the current
monopoly. If we keenly analyze this matter we will discover
that the pipeline will cater for
transportation hence the consumers will not have to hire trucks
to collect the oil hence this will
be an added advantage to the consumers who are located far
away from the refinery company
and this will be a big blow to the existing company.

Deliverable 5 - Best Market Structure for a
Pipeline to Function In
Competency
Understand various market structures and impacts upon firms,
consumers,
and government policies.
Course Scenario
Oil Company X is a large oil refinery which has been expanding
and taking on
new investment projects. Recently, they have considered
building a pipeline
that stretches across the United States, from Canada to New
Orleans.
39. The Cost Department is looking to determine the impact of the
pipeline on the
current market structure, and they have asked you, a team
member of the
department, to submit a report on the expected changing market
structure.
Instructions
As a cost analyst at your firm, you are asked to evaluate the
type of market
you are performing in. Assume the current number of oil
companies exist in
the market. After the pipeline is built, extensive trade
restrictions will
drastically increase Oil Company X's hold on the market.
Submit a 2-page report detailing the current market structure,
and the
anticipated market structure after the pipeline is built. You will
also include
tables to show the characteristics of each of the above market
structures and
where our firm conforms or does not conform to the
characteristics of the
different market structures. Be sure to explain the impact on
price and
quantity, and any pertinent changes to the firm's pricing
strategy after the
change in market structure.
The current market shares of each company are shown below,
before the
pipeline is completed and trade restrictions are implemented.
40. Format your report to include a title page, introduction,
conclusion, and
references. Include all relevant graphs, equations, and
calculations. Show
your work on calculations to ensure you receive partial credit
for incorrect
answers. No credit will be given if your work is not shown.
Remember to cite
your sources using correct APA format, and also use correct
grammar,
spelling, and formatting.
