Chapter 03 Careers in Information Technology
No full textInformation technology now offers a range of attractive career options for workers with a wide variety of interests, skill levels, and career ambitions. See Figure 6. Some of these roles are highlighted in this chapter
Chapter 07 Productivity Applications
No full textIn the chapters so far, we have talked about different types of computers and the important components of computers. We are now ready to introduce how these computers are used. Though computers were created to perform complex calculations such as the correct angle to position a gun to hit a specific target and to find the correct trajectory to return safely to earth from the moon, most users do not have such exotic uses for computers. Most folks own computers to work on assignments, prepare reports, calculate business profits, communicate with collaborators, or even just for entertainment, such as listening to music, watching videos, or playing games. In the next set of chapters, we will provide an overview of the most common categories of computer applications used in business. These applications help you create and process information and are called productivity applications. They include word processors, spreadsheets, presentations, and communication utilities such as email
Renewable Energy Educational Delivery System
No full textTechnology advancing rapidly and affecting our daily lives in more ways than ever before, it is clear that technology is now a driving force in our world. STEM disciplines are one of the key driving forces behind human progress, as their efforts have provided us with new levels of comfort and security. Every facet of engineering contributes to enhancing almost every aspect of our lives. As technology continues to evolve, the demand for skilled engineers will only increase. Therefore, it is essential that STEM education system adapts to the needs of today\u27s digitized, diversified, and rapidly changing society through an interdisciplinary hands-on STEM educational tool involving renewable energy, logistics, transportation and robotics technologies. The system seeks to support educators and the learning environment by providing an engaging multi student learning tool and a resource for educators to have insight into student engagement with the STEM education system
Impact of management polyphony in family business: A review
No full textThe link between family and family-owned enterprise has persisted for generations within the framework of family, ownership, management, and business. Family-owned companies are created in order to generate revenue and preserve the family\u27s tradition. With the proper management strategy, family businesses can survive and be passed down to future generations. In family businesses, the founders and family member managers are the only ones who carry out main management tasks including planning, organizing, coordinating, leading, supervising, and controlling. Management polyphony can happen in a family-owned firm when more than one family member is designated as the manager. Although managerial polyphony may be viewed as a source of organizational transformation in well-managed circumstances, it may also be one of the primary causes of conflict in a family-owned business. This paper discussed theoretically the concept of management polyphony in family-owned firms
4D flow pattern of the longest cave in the Eastern Alps (Schönberg-Höhlensystem, Totes Gebirge)
No full textThe Schönberg-Höhlensystem (SBH) is not only the longest cave system in the Eastern Alps (length 156 km, depth 1061 m), but a significant proportion of the passages have developed on or just below two surfaces that dip 1.7° to the NE. These so-called speleogenetic phases are rarely developed in caves of the Northern Calcareous Alps and have not yet been confirmed by detailed morphological mapping. Furthermore, the deep parts of the cave offer the possibility to study the active epiphreatic zone for a distance of 1.6 km. Detailed morphological mapping shows that the main level at about 1500 m a.s.l. and a second 140 m higher developed as distinct speleogenetic phases, and the dip of the planes to the NE is consistent with palaeo-flow. Isolated vadose trenches formed at saddle points are further evidence. Correlations with other caves at similar altitudes suggest an Upper Miocene to Lower Pliocene age. With few exceptions, a northeastern palaeo-flow can be observed down to about 1050 m a.s.l. However, 100 m above this there appears to have been a late phase with an opposite palaeo-flow direction, and below this altitude this SW palaeo-flow direction prevails. These morphological observations allow us to propose a complex model. During low and moderate flow there is drainage to the north. During floods, a restriction in the north causes backwater and an overflow threshold to the SW is exceeded, and then most of the water flows in this direction. This observation of dual flow behaviour can help to better understand the behaviour of the karst water table and to interpret complex results from tracer experiments. The almost ubiquitous paragenetic features in the SBH are due to sediments derived from the local Upper Jurassic Radiolarite Group. For the evolution of karst plateaus in the Northern Calcareous Alps, these observations support a local and rather radial palaeo-drainage of the Totes Gebirge, as opposed to a through-flow of allogenic waters as is likely for other karst massifs
Patricia Trish Hollins-Kohler Oral History Interview
No full textPatricia Trish Hollins-Kohler reminisces about her cherished memories growing up on Hollinswood Ranch. She speaks fondly of her close relationship with her father and her passion for ranching, particularly her love of horses. Patricia reflects on her educational experiences and the valuable lessons she learned from working alongside the Priest sisters while bailing hay. She also recalls thrilling moments rounding up cattle, branding, and running them through dipping vats. Riding horses was a true joy for Patricia, and her time spent on Hollinswood Ranch holds a special place in her heart
