    The economical decision and the management of risk

    Get PDF
    The decision process as we know it today is influenced by many factors, especially by the important changes that appear in the economical environment. A good decision can be taken only after analyzing all available data and information, but, at the same time, after identifying and, if possible, reducing the influence of any possible risks that may appear. In this article, we refer to some aspects of the decision and the decision process and, in the second part, to elements regarding risk management.decision, risk management

    Identifying Data Affected by Aberrant Errors. Applied Program

    Get PDF
    Statistical survey has become a very powerful tool for understanding reality and interpreting it and prediction. Nevertheless, even with the accepted margin for errors, a survey’s results may be inconcludent. This is mostly due to sample data quality. In this article, we refer to two tests to identify and eliminate aberrant errors, and at the end we present a program for applying these tests.Chauvenet, Young, program

    A reality for any firm – the Information Technology

    In a fast moving economy, no organization can expect good results without implementing new technologies. Computers, networks, software systems are a reality and denying it will eventually lead to a negative impact on the organizations’ results. In this, we refer to some aspects of information technology and the advantages and disadvantages that software systems can provide to a manager or management team and, in the end, to an organization.informational system, informatics system, DSS

    NMR and Electron Microscopy Studies of Soybean Seeds, Soybean Proteins, and Oil for Improved Utilization in Foods and Feeds

    NMR, NIR and EM techniques are suitable methods of measuring protein and oil content in soybeans. After completion of a measurement with NMR or NIR, a soybean sample could be either replanted or consummated. NMR techniques involved in the present work are based on the response of nuclei, as nuclear spin flips, when set in a 7.05T magnetic field and excited with rf pulses of 300 MHz. NIR spectroscopy is based on outer electron molecular vibrations, when excited with radiation of frequency 1012 -4×1014Hz, and =2.5Om-750 nm. 
TEM and ESEM techniques are bulk and surface analysis techniques, respectively, working with electron beams of 15KV, and image resolution in the range of nm’s. ESEM is based on the possibility of imaging with secondary emitted electrons from the samples, and TEM on the possibility to have image contrast based on the difference in electron transmission through elements of different atomic weight. Novel results are presented by NMR, FT-NIR spectroscopy and Electron Microscopy for intact, selected soybean seeds accessions, soybean oil and soybean proteins

    Special Features In Turbulent Mixing. Comparison between Periodic and Non Periodic Case

    Get PDF
    After hundreds of years of stability study, the problems of flow kinematics are far from complete solving. A modern theory appears in this field: the mixing theory. Its mathematical methods and techniques developed the significant relation between turbulence and chaos. The turbulence is an important feature of dynamic systems with few freedom degrees, the so-called far from equilibrium systems. These are widespread between the models of excitable media.Studying a mixing for a flow implies the analysis of successive stretching and folding phenomena for its particles, the influence of parameters and initial conditions. In the previous works, the study of the 3D non-periodic models exhibited a quite complicated behavior, involving some significant events - the so-called rare events. The variation of parameters had a great influence on the length and surface deformations. The 2D (periodic) case is simpler, but significant events can also issue for irrational values of the length and surface versors, as was the situation in 3D case.The comparison between 2D and 3D case revealed interesting properties; therefore a modified 2D (periodic) model is tested. The numerical simulations were realized in MapleVI, for searching special mathematical events. Continuing this work both from analytical and numeric standpoint would relieve useful properties for the turbulent mixing. A proximal target is to test some special functions for the periodic model, and to study the behavior of the structures realized by the model

    Developing an assessment protocol to identify the characteristics of ASD using eye-tracking for educational purpose

    Get PDF
    The understanding of how written social information is processed by individuals with autism spectrum traits is important for the development and implementation of suitable educational interventions. The use of eye-tracking methodology offers us the possibility to analyze how information is being selected and has a great potential to inform our understanding of cognitive processing in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. Our main goal is to develop an assessment protocol, which could identify if there are differences in the way individuals with low autism spectrum traits and high autism spectrum traits process written social information. This information helps to specify the development of educational techniques for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. This study provides the necessary steps for the protocol implementation. We propose an experimental design that can clarify if there are some specific visual patterns when processing social information in the context of autism traits. The findings of our work could document future intervention techniques for social skills

    Genital Male Piercings

    Get PDF
    Body piercing has been practiced for thousands of years all over the world for beautification, religion, initiation rites or status reasons. Genital piercings also have a significant background and have been practiced for enhancing sexual pleasure, chastity, shocking or as a protest against a conservative society. As the popularity of genital piercings increased in the last years, the number of complications is also on the rise. It is therefore important for the medical professionals to have at least basic knowledge regarding this practice, as it might be required in the management of unpredictable complications
