SLOVO PRODUCTS VALUAT Natural Toys (NT) is a successful manufacturer of wooden toys and wood fur- niture for children. Though it has some overseas markets, all of its productionfacilities are in the United States, and its market is Overwhelmingly in the United States. It is therefore ironic that it is considering the purchase of Slovo Wood Products, a government-owned company located in Lithuania. Lithuania declared independence from the Soviet Union on March 11, 1990, and the last Soviet troops left in 1993. Lithuania is now a democratic nation which embraces private property and free enterprise. The transition was not without pain—the industrial output of state enterprises fell an estimated 60 percent—but the privatized companies are now expanding. The government has not been able to sell every company: Slovo Wood Products is one of the remaining firms. When Slovo's customers got a chance to buy relatively cheap, high-quality competing foreign products, they turned away from Slovo in droves. Slovo has struggled to stay alive, and its current existence can best be described as zombie-like. The company made no profits in 1995, though they were able to cover their cash costs. The operating rate has been deteriorating as the old machinery breaks down more and more often, and the plant now runs only a third of the time because of frequent breakdowns. The government is anxious to get rid of this facility; it has offered to sell the company for $1 million which will go directly into the company to purchase new equipment and increase working capital. Slovo, however, will come encumbered with $10 million in 20-year debt which bears an 8 percent rate of interest. This is not a market-determined rate, but rather represents special concessionary financing which is offered as part of the deal. Basically, the government has been loaning Slovo money for years, and this is a "work out" to them. That is, the gOvernment gives a lower-than-market interest rate and generous repayment terms. There is no sinking fund required on the debt

q6.Implement in Java Judge Gary's soluton as modelled in Error: Reference source not found, using monitors and threads. Include a simple UI (could be text-based or a GUI) that shows the state of the ﬂags and the turn indicator when they change and the actons each clan makes. Add brief comments to explain why/how your code maps to the FSP model of Error: Reference source not found (very few marks gained without a good mapping – the whole point is to produce code that follows a verifed model). Feel free to re-use GUI code from the book applets if that helps (add a comment to state which code you’ve re-used from where). The UI is not of much interest; what’s important is that your code follows the model properly

A tacheometer was set up at station A with trunion axis 1.18 m above ground, and due to some obstruction in line of sight only reading of upper stadia wire could be recorded as 2.022 with vertical angle as + 3°05′, on the staff held vertically at station B. The line joining A and B has a gradient of 1 in 20. If the tacheometric constants are as k = 100 and c = 0, calculate the other staff readings and the horizontal distance AB

Do traditional workplaces reward long hours instead of efficient hours? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a workplace in which "people can do whatever they want, whenever they want, as long as the work gets done?" Well, that's the approach that Best Buy is taking.97 And this radical workplace experiment, which obviously has many implications for employee motivation, has been an interesting and enlightening journey for the company. In 2002, then CEO Brad Anderson (now the company's vice chairman) introduced carefully crafted progra called ROWE—Results-Only Work Environment. ROWE was the inspiration of two HRM managers at Bes Buy, Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson, who had been given the task of taking a flexible work program that was in effect at corporate headquarters in Minnesota and developing it for everyone in the company. Ressler and Thompson said, "We realized that the flexible work program was successful as employee engagement was up productivity was higher, but the problem was the participants were being viewed as 'not working.'" And that was a common reaction from managers who didn't really view flexible work employees as "really working because they aren't in the office working traditional hours." The two women set about to change that by creating a program in which "everyone would be evaluated solely on their results, not on how long they worked."

In an experimental study of the absorption of ammonia by water in a wetted-wall column, the overall mass-transfer coefficient, KG was found to be 2.74× 109 kg mol/(m2 × s × Pa). At one point in the column, the gas phase contained 8 mol ammonia and the liquid-phase concentration was 0.064 kg mol ammonia/m3 of solution. The tower operated at 293 K and 1.013×105 Pa. At that temperature, the Henry's law constant is 1.358 × 103 Pa/(kg mol/m3). If 85% of the total resistance to mass transfer is encountered in the gas phase, determine the individual film mass-transfer coefficients and the interfacial compositions.

An aircraft's speed relative to the ground is 215 km/h toward the west, with a 55! km/h tailwind from the east. The aircraft is flying at 45 °N latitude, and its altimeter reading is constant at 5.5 km. The plane turns to fly directly northward, maintaining its speed of 160 km/h relative to the atmosphere, and keeping the altimeter's reading 5500 m (i.e., the plane remains at a constant atmospheric pressure). With quite smooth terrain around this airport, the 10 m wind is blowing across the isobars at an angle of only 25 degrees. Estimate the wind speed

Chapter 6 Prelab Exercises for Standing Waves Prelab exercises should be attempted after reading the relevant chapter in the lab manual and before coming to the lab. Prelab exercises must be submitted prior to the start of each lab using eClass. 1. (a) Explain the differences between travelling and standing waves. (b) What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves? 2. With the help of Section 6.3 and figures 6.4 and 6.5 in the lab manual, draw wave envelopes for the first three standing waves (n = 1, 3, and 5) for standing waves with a wavelength of 12 cm. Include the length, L, of each standing wave in your diagram. 3. A glass tube, open at one end, is filled with an unknown liquid. Using a sound wave with a frequency of (1200 ± 1) Hz, you set up the first standing wave and measure a length, L = (0.18 ± 0.01) m.

EXPERIMENT1: SPECTROSCOPIC IDENTIFICATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS: BACKGROUND: You will have to use your knowledge of mass spectrometry, IR-spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy. Remember that these analyses are complementary...they each provide a different part of the puzzle. Mass spectrometry provides information about molecular size and formula. IR spectroscopy indicates the presence of various functional groups. NMR spectroscopy aids in mapping of the carbon-hydrogen framework. Please complete identification of Organic Compounds according to the pages Mass Spectrometry, IR-Spectrometry, and NMR-Spectrometry Analyses. Thanks

A manufacturer hires your engineering firm to design a cylindrical soup can that will hold 10 oz (296 cm 3) of soup and will include a plastic lid to reseal the can. The manufacturer seeks the dimensions in centimeters that minimize total cost of the can. The cost for the materials is as follows: Material Cost Top of can (thin plastic, removable) $0.00125/cm2 Curved side of can and bottom $0.0005/cm 2 Label $0.000025/cm 2 (Assume this is an exact fit to the curved side of the can with no overlap) Bottom and side solder $0.005/cm (Assume this is used on the vertical side seam and the circular bottom seam) Glue for seam of label and top $0.00025/cm (Assume this is used along the vertical seam of the label and around the top, to seal the plastic covering) Plastic lid $0.002/cm 2 (Assume that the cost of the lip of the lid is included in this)
