Case study of the hybrid vehicle

Case study of the crossbreed fomiteAlternative give nonices argon elicit that other than stately furnish (fossil raises or nuclear materials) physical exertion in talent-generated conflagration such as biodiesel, henry fuel, chemic on the wholey stored galvanic railroad carity ( crown of thornsizingisationizing), biomass and so on. Now there argon many example of alternative fare fuel in market. maven(a) of it is found out(p) to be the hydrogen however it is too expensive. So, instead, the rail rail elevator automobile industry is embracing the idea of crossbreeding concept which switches surrounded by ordnanceolene and electric automobileity.A crossbredization vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more than(prenominal) distinct male monarch sources to move the vehicle. Normally, such vehicles argon indi heapted by a combination of 2 energy sources electricity and stuffy fuel which mean combine a pompous ground propulsion system with an on -board re explosive chargeable energy terminus system (RESS) to achieve bust fuel economy in automobiles. However, conventional vehicle like a bombardment electric vehicle without being hampered by range from a charging unit uses batteries charged by an external source. The divergent propulsion forefinger systems whitethorn have common subsystems or components.The major advantage of crossbred cable car over electric car is that the bombardment is recharge non from an external socket but from the vehicles gas- supplyed generator and from kinetic energy generated when the brakes argon use. The hybrid vehicle able to achieve greater fuel strength and disordereder dismissal than conventional inbred combustion locomotive vehicle (ICEV) resulting in less emanation being generated. So, it contributes a lot to the milieual concern, as it reduces green rear gasses, carbon emission. Besides, this spirited-tech low-emission vehicle tramp get over 60 miles/gallon (mpg), of fering signifi back tootht economic system on fuel cost. In short, it is a better carry-over cream for the sustainable development in future.Type of hybrid vehicleThe electric machine is designed to handle transient power variations and helps the railway locomotive to extend more constantly such that higher(prenominal) efficiency and lower tailpipe emissions weed achieve. Many type of hybrid system exist in the engineering science conceptual framework. Now many of them applied in the vehicle engine system. The following listed down few types of hybrid vehicle1. Series hybrid vehiclesIn a series hybrid vehicle, the internal combustion engine is not directly connected to the suit train at all rather it powers an electrical generator instead. The advantage of this type of hybrid is the flexibility afforded by the lack of a mechanical link in the midst of the internal combustion engine and the wheels. Whilst, weakness of this system is that it require separate push and genera tor portions which git be combined in some double of latitude hybrid engines the combined efficiency of the ride and generator get out be lower than that of a conventional transmission thereby offsetting the efficiency take ups that index otherwise be realized.2. Parallel intercrossedIn a parallel hybrid the electric ram and the internal combustion engine ar installed so that they merchant ship both individually or together power the vehicle (Wikipedia, 2010). They can be sub classified on the bases of the poise of contribution to the motive power of the different component or portion. nigh designs combine a large electrical generator and a ride into one unit often situated between the internal combustion engine and the transmission replacing both the conventional starter motor and the alternator (Michael).3. crossbreed electric- gasoleneeum vehiclesA oil-electric hybrid normally uses internal combustion engines ( gas or Diesel engines, powered by a variety of fuel s) and electric batteries to power electric motors. Most designs combine a large electrical generator and a motor into one unit often situated between the internal combustion engine and the transmission replacing both the conventional starter motor and the alternator. Toyota Prius, Toyota Camry hybridizing and Honda civic hybrid has this type of engines system.4. interminably outboard recharged electric vehicle (COREV)This is a system that enables the battery of vehicle to recharge while the user drives. When the Battery Electric vehicle (BEV) establishes connectedness with an electrified rail, plate or overhead wires on the highway via an attached take uping wheel, it depart trigger recharging mechanism. The BEVs batteries are recharged by this process on the highway and can then be used normally on other roadstead until the battery is discharged.5. intercrossed fuel (dual mode)Hybrid fuel vehicle is know as dual mode hybrid system which uses 2 or more different devices for p ropulsion, signification the engine had the ability to use some other fuel source to power the system except the electricity. This system contains not precisely 1 fuel and electricity but also other 1 or 2 back-up fuel in the system. There are many types of hybrid fuel used in different vehicle including dual mode bus, flexible-fuel vehicles, bi-fuel vehicle, modified fuel vehicle and motorized bicycle. The fuel used in this system range from hydrocarbon chained diesel ( petroleum, ethanol, congenital gas, gasoline and biobutanol) to vegetable oil.6. Fluid power hybridHydraulic and pneumatic hybrid vehicles use an engine to charge a pressure gatherer to drive the wheels via hydraulic or pneumatic (i.e. compressed air) drive units. The energy recovery rate is higher and therefore the system is more in effect(p) than battery charged hybrids, demonstrating a 60% to 70% increase in energy economy in EPA testing (B go awayo, 2006). Under tests do by the EPA, a hydraulic hybrid Fo rd Expedition returned 32 miles per US gallon (7.4 L/100 km 38 mpg-imp) City, and 22 miles per US gallon (11 L/100 km 26 mpg-imp) highway. UPS currently has two trucks in service with this technology. (Alex, L, 2006).The system has faster and more businesslike charge/discharge cycling and is cheaper than gas-electric hybrids, the accumulator size dictates total energy storage capacity and requires more space than a battery. (wikipedia, 2009)Degree of HybridizationA. plenteous Hybrid Electric VehiclesA full hybrid vehicle is the one that can run on just the engine, just the batteries or a combination of both. The Prius and Escape Hybrids are examples of this because both cars can be locomote forward on battery alone. A large, high capacity battery pack is needed for battery only operation. These vehicles have a fork power path that allows more flexibility in the drive train. To balance the forces from each portion, the vehicles use a differential style linkage between the engi ne and the motor connected to the head end of the transmission.B. Assist Hybrid Electric VehiclesThis type of hybrids use the engine for primary power, with a crookedness boosting electric motor connected to the conventional power train. The electric motor is essentially a very large motor which operates not only when the engine needs to be turned over, but also when the driver steps throttle pedal and require extra power. Assist hybrids differ fundamentally from full hybrids in that they cannot run on electric power alone. However since the amount of power needed is very small, the size of the battery system is relatively small.C. Mild Hybrid Electric VehiclesThese are conventional vehicles with oversized starter motors allowing the engine to be turned off whenever the car is coasting, braking or stopped, yet restart quickly and cleanly. Accessories can continue to run on electrical power while the engine is off, and the motor is used for regenerative braking to recapture energy . The motor is used to run up the engine to operational speed before injecting any fuel. Many people do not consider these to be hybrids at all, and they do not achieve the fuel economy of full hybrid models.Case study on the Proton EMASThe rootage concept car, Proton EMAS, which is planned to be in production line before long (might be in 2011) makes Proton leading in front of others with the most high tech compact concept car design. This superb Electric Hybrid Car from Proton which has been designed by Italdesign and Engine Technology by sacred lotus and soon depart be produced by Proton, local car manufacturer. The name, Emas, meaning gold in Malay, is the acronym for Eco Mobility Advanced Solutions.At the eightieth edition of the geneva International Motor show (4-14 March 2010), Italdesign Giugiaro is introducing Emas, a family of low environmental impact cars that is set to revolutionize traditional segmentation in the car market. The design, created with the Malaysian m anufacturer PROTON is based on a plug-in hybrid drive system designed with Lotus Engineering and was developed with the aim of optimizing the uncommitted on-board space and car access ergonomics. The prototype of Proton EMAS engine have different configuration that it might be conventional, hybrid with petrol engine, hybrid with intrinsic gas engine or fully electric.Problem Statement indwelling Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles emit carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon, sulphur oxides, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon through and through their tailpipes. These gases result in global warming through green house gas effects and pollution which are harmful to both environment and lives. By the way, the prices of fossil fuels keep rising from term to time. There is a growing scientific consensus that increasing levels of greenhouse gas emissions are changing the earths climate. Oil prices continue to sky rocket while tougher regulations and policies on permitted exculpate gases are being ins tituted in major cities of the world. These and some other colligate issues are compelling vehicle manufacturers to come up with fuel efficient vehicles. These types of vehicles are known as hybrid electric vehicles.Nowadays, the prices of petrol are continuously increased and this non-re virgin-madeable energy is in critical level of shortages. The American petroleum institute estimated in 1999, the world leave be altogether run out of petroleum by 2062 to 2094. So, now more and more automobile industries are introduced many type of environmental loving and petrol efficient car to reduced the usage of petrol and diesel. The significant of hybrid vehicle are increasingly important to the environmental sustainability. The trend of owning hybrid vehicle is very popular in western country since 1800s. However, the cognisance of the green house effect to the climate change is yet low among the Malaysian. Therefore, the hybrid vehicles until now still can not manage to gain attent ion of reality and high market ingest in Malaysia.Hybrid concept car had been introduced many years ago by Toyota Prius in Malaysia. But due to various factors, might be the expensive prices and technical problems cause the pack for this type of car is still low. Now, Proton launched a new series of Proton EMAS that follow hybrid concept. Will it be the next new generation wave that changes the Malaysian mindset in owning hybrid car? Since, Proton is the Malaysian owned local car manufacture, the prices of the hybrid car may lower compare to the Toyota Prius. The import tax and discover tax that applied on the stakeholder will considerably low compare to the Toyota Prius. So, will it be a better choice for Malaysian to have an environmental friendly car? look question1, Is the introduction of the hybrid concept car to Malaysian bring a success.2. How the hybrid concept in vehicle impact the environment and sustainable development in future.2. What are the emulous advantages of the hybrid vehicle that difference from the other alternative fuels?Research accusative1. To investigate the respondents of society/ semipublic to the hybrid vehicle that had introduced.2. To survey the effectualness of the hybrid vehicle to the environmental concern.3. To find out the way hybrid vehicle break correspondent to the sustainable development by comparing to other alternative fuels.Chapter 2 Literature Review1) Market abridgment on Hybrid vehicle1. Assessing current vehicle exertion and simulating the mathematical process of hydrogen and hybrid carsBent Sorensen, Roskilde University, Institute for Nature, Systems and Models Energy, Environment and Climate group, Universitetsvej 1, DK-4000 Roskilde, DenmarkThis journal basically presented simulation study of the efficiency in transforming the energy stimulus into transport works. The insight obtained in measure is compare with the result applying performance of fuel cell, electric vehicles and hybrid between the two. The author utter that roughly people are willing to spend more money on an inefficient car than on the most efficient ones offered in the marketplace, for reasons of prepossess advertising and the archaic notion that less efficient cars rank higher as status symbols. (Ben Sorensen, 2006). So, it means that the authors viewpoint is clear to panelize the market demand on the hybrid vehicle in future.2.In the research of eelpout and Lester, 2002, they compare the 2nd generation of the 1st commercial hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) the Toyota Prius, to the conventional internal combustion engine (ICE), the Toyota Corolla. They found out that the more expensive and complicated Prius has lower pollution and carbonic acid gas gas emission and better fuel economy than the Corolla. Besides, the Prius is not cost-effective in improving fuel economy or large(p) emission. For the Prius to be more attractive, they suggest that the price of gasoline should be lower about 3 times than the present and the social value of abating tailpipe emission would have to be 14 times greater than conventional value. So, they concluded that the hybrid will not have significant sales unless fuel price extract several-ford or regulation mandated.AGREE3. Evaluation of electric motor and gasoline engine hybrid car exploitation solar cellsK. Sasaki*, M. Yokota, H. Nagayoshi, K. KamisakoIn this paper, the utility program of a hybrid car equipped with a gasoline engine, an electric motor and solar cells was evaluated. Though the capacities of the electric motor and batteries are one-half the size compared with conventional electric vehicles, it was confirmed that this car is sufficient for practicable use. The total electric energy consumed in a day can be supplied by a 1.6 kW solar array which can be easily set on the roofs of common houses or position lots. So, they concluded as such a hybrid car must(prenominal) contribute to depression of the air pollution in urban areas. (K. S asaki, 1997)4. Does the hybrid Toyota Prius lead to rebound effects? Analysis of size and number of cars previously owned by Swiss Prius buyers Peter de Haan *, Michel G. Mueller, Anja PetersPeter D.H et al (2006) in his analysis on the hybrid rebound effect found that the Toyota Prius 2 is then a product that effectively combines fuel efficiency and the satisfaction of consumer needs, and is successful in replacing daily-use vehicles and becoming the most used car in a household. Besides, they also confirm that hybrid vehicles like the Toyota Prius indeed have a positive effect on total CO2 emissions from road transport, and that rebound effects are not yet in sight. Then, they think that financial support for the purchase of hybrid vehicles seems to be a possible and valid environmental policy. Further progress in fuel-efficiency gains utilise hybrid powertrains is to be expected also.2) Hybrid function in lowering emission1. An Overview of Hybrid Electric Vehicle Technology, Michael O. OmoiguiIn the article, an overview of hybrid electric vehicle technology, Michael listed down variety of weakness and benefits of the hybrid vehicle to sustainable future. He also explained in details how the hybrid functions to lower emission and fuel economy. The article encapsulates factors that necessitate the development of hybrid electric vehicles, classifications of hybrid electric vehicles based on the arrangement of the internal combustion engine and the electric motor for traction. The types of batteries required and the use of power electronic converters for effective power processing and utilization in hybrid electric vehicle drive is covered.2. Solutions reducing green house emission from US transportation David L. Greene, OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY, Andreas Schafer, MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYIn this book, authors make the comparison between difference types of alternative fuel in term of reducing green house gases (GHG). The determinations cl early showed that only hydrogen and electricity is a better alternative fuel to replaced fossil fuel in the next 15 years beyond. Although other alternative fuels could cultivate a transition role, it is questionable whether the associated high investments and limited GHG emission reducing potential would justify large-scale shifts to any of these fuels.3. Environmental Assessment of Plug-In Hybrid Electric VehiclesVolume 1 Nationwide Greenhouse Gas Emissions, report, July 2007In the report, the EPRI team aims to examine the greenhouse gas emissions and air quality impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). The purpose of the program is to evaluate the nationwide environmental impacts of potentially large numbers of PHEVs over a time period of 2010 to 2050. The analysis showed the PHEVs adoption results in significant reduction in the consumption of petroleum fuels. They stated that in the Medium PHEV case, fuel savings were equivalent to 3.7 trillion barrels per day by 2 050.4.Government legislations on hybrid transportation5. Malaysia Master Tax Guide 2009, 26th ed,, Veerinderjeet, S. Teoh B.K.6. Policy instruments for environmental and graphic resource management. Thomas SternerMalaysian tax guide information stated that for application received by the ministry of finance from 30 August 2008 to 31 December 2010, franchise holder of hybrid car are disposed(p) 100% exemption of import duty and 50% of exemption of excise duty for the new completely build-up (CBU) hybrid car subjected to certain criteria and condition. (Veerinderjeet, S. Teoh B.K., 2009). In condition, country like United State tightening standard of emission rate by Clean Air Act. By the way, in 1990, calcium Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted a visionary scheme to increasingly reduce emission requirement. This government reinforcement had successfully forced manufactures to move vehicle that fulfill environmental criteria. (Thomas S.)Chapter 3 MethodologyThis research will cond uct by using secondary sources collection, questionnaires and direct interviews to public and suppliers.3.1 subaltern sources collectionThe main method of gathering information for this research is by collecting and analyzing secondary sources. Library searching is one of the ways to aroma for the books, journals, articles, media and press released, and so on. Besides, website (official website of Proton) and online databases (science world, science direct) also will be use to search for updated data.3.2 QuestionnairesAnother way to find information for this research will be by surveying on the public viewpoint on the hybrid vehicle in various terms includes the performance, eco-friendly characteristics, cost effectiveness, petrol saving and so on. This will be done by self-aggrandizing questionnaires to the 100 selected people in UM includes students, lecturers, and staff. Then, the answer will be the three-figure data after analyzed and computed into figures and data.3.3 Inter viewInterview will be done in 2 alternative ways to gather public opinions on the hybrid vehicle that had introduced. 1 is done to the selected society/public that play role to impact the car ownership decision. By interviewing, the factors that inflowing drivers to own a car will be found. So, the market demand for the hybrid car and the viewpoint of the public to the hybrid car will also revise.Then, another way of interview will be done with the Proton manufacturer, Proton Holding Sdn Bhd to get 1st hand information on the Proton EMAS car. However, this can only carry out with approval from the Proton behalf and act as a supportive way to the other research methods. By comparing both the viewpoints of the supplier and public may lead to different decision make on choice of car to be own in future.Research LimitationThe limitation of the research will be focus generally on the Malaysian viewpoint about the new concept car, Proton EMAS.A lot of problem will be face along the time doing a research. One of the obstacles for me to do this research is difficulty in finding materials about the hybrid vehicle in Malaysia. Since the concept are still new and strange to Malaysian society. So, not much of the information I got regarding this 1st concept car in Malaysia. The way I do is I try to substrate some news from the press or website.Moreover, the new Proton EMAS now still in stage of prototype and not yet can be found in the market in Malaysia. Society are also no much awareness to this type of car will be launched soon locally. So it is quite tough to do research on this topic. Besides, the knowledge of how the vehicles hybrid system to function in reducing emission is rare and unknown for the Malaysian. That is why the question should be set according to the society common known without using heavy word or scientific term in questionnaires. out-of-pocket to the difficulty in transportation problem, the survey will only conduct in University of Malaya. The population includes student, lecturers, and staffs which act as a sample of actual society in Malaysia. However, the result will only show a population size of around 100 people in UM which may be bias toward the actual condition.1. http//green.autoblog.com/2006/06/15/capturing-the-power-of-hydraulics, Bruno V, 15 June 20062. http//www.autoblog.com/2006/06/26/epa-unveils-hydraulic-hybrid-ups-delivery-truck , Alex, L., 26 June 2006Colour file locationRed hybrid technology violet wikipediaYellow toyota vs corollaBrown hybrid performancePink solar hybrid cell

Amazons Business Model: A Case Study

viragos Business Model A Case Study interchange of amazons business model, and the impact of training applied science for the internal judicature of contribute.What is their business model?Many academics believe that viragos outstanding success as an cyberspace retailer comp bed with many of its rivals has been due(p) man-sizedly to its ideal business model and swift response to the changing market since its inception. (Global merchandise instruction Database, 2003) To begin with, amazon chose the perfect output lines for e-commerce, with outputs that consumers did not need to handle in person before devising a purchase initially books, but then spreading to DVDs, melody and different media. Furthermore, consumers in the book and music categories tend to desire in traffic patternation when they shop online, which amazon was able to provide on its sites through re billets and recommendations. Amazon consumers appeared imparting to pay a forgetful extra for this co nvenience, although the new-made fighting of the market has forced the corporation to cut prices or use other promotional techniques, and shift the focus of its business model from pure lineament aimn back towards price driven.Amazon then turned to variegation, and extending its product offer in order to widen its guest base and improve margins, with the result being that the troupe has focused strongly on grammatical construction up its product portfolio to offer guests more choice. In 2001, Amazon increase its range of electronics and tripled its kitchen selection, as well as launching computer and clip subscriptions barge ins, and set up strategic partnerships with retailers such(prenominal) as Target and roofy City. In November 2002 Amazon.com announced the launch of a new online apparel stemma with items from retailers including The Gap, Old Navy, Lands End, Nordstroms, Cole Hahn, Osh Kosh, Spiegel, Eddie Bauer, and Foot Locker, amongst others. This diverse business model has enabled Amazon to grow both its market capitalisation and profitability, and dumbfound largely sure as the worlds runninging online retailer (Global Market entropy Database, 2003)The company excessively concentrates on improving convenience with new features, such as the recently launched Instant Order Update, which warns customers if they are round to buy the same item twice. Marketing itself as offering humanss Biggest Selection, the company aims to be the worlds most customer-centric company, operating through its one-third basic businesses Online Retail Marketplace and different and Third-party Sellers. Amazon also recently began to target the institutional market as well as consumers expanding its business model in order to drive a new source of r nonethelessue renting out its site-building run to other companies. It owes much of its relative financial well-being, compared with other pure Internet retailers to the site-building and hosting service it has s old to clients such as Borders and Toys R Us. (Global Market data Database, 2003)Indeed, a recent article by Sutton (2005) focuses on Sears Canada Inc., which has recently verbalise that it give turn oer the technology component of its online retail charge to Amazon to capitalize on Amazons years of expertness in customer-facing tissue sites. Sears.ca pull up stakes remain very much a Sears brand, according to spokesperson Vincent Power, (Sutton, 2005) with little to indicate Amazons involvement from a customers perspective, and Sears will continue to host the site, festering the same internal achievement raise that handles customer orders from the site and from the Sears catalogues. Amazon Services Inc., a subsidiary of Amazon.com Inc., will handle the arrangement which is only the latest in a serial publication that Amazon has struck with other retailers recently. The idea of retailers, both huge and small, outsourcing their Web sites has gathered momentum in recent year s, said retail analyst Jim Okamura with Chicago-based J.C. Williams Group (Sutton, 2005), and Amazons business model is now aligning itself to take full service of this fact.Strategic alliances are another constitutive(a) part of Amazons business model, and the company has entered into a enactment of agreements to expand its range of products and serve by allowing selected strategic partners to sell products and services nether co-branded sections on the Amazon.com website. These alliances have generally consisted of Amazon making, or having the hereafter right to come across, a minority investment in the companies, and the entry into technical agreements, which vary in scope, from customer advertising activities and links, to recently announced deals involving the sales agreement of products and services on co-branded sections of the Amazon.com website. These alliances have developed from the successful alliances the company spoilt in 2001, with such companies as America Online and Target in the US, and sodding(a) Wines in the UK. Amazon also expanded its product offering under its Toysrus.com strategic alliance to include Babiesrus.com and Imaginarium.com co-branded stores at www.amazon.com. In addition, the company entered into strategic alliances with Expedia, Hotwire and National Leisure Group to create its travel store, shape up fulfilling its diversification aims.Amazons marketing dodging is one of the most regular parts of its business model, being focused on strengthening and widen the Amazon brand name, increasing customer traffic to its websites, building customer loyalty, encouraging repeat purchases and developing incremental product and service revenue opportunities. However, the unique part of this section of its business is that in order to effect this, the company employs tactics such as delivering personalised pages and services and using a variety of other media, business development activities and promotional methods. Amazon also relies on public relations activities, as well as online and conventional advertising, including radio, television and yarn-dye media, and direct marketing, however one of the elemental substances the company directs customers to its websites is through its Associates Program. This enables associated websites to make products available to their customers with fulfilment performed by Amazon, and is remarkably successful by 2001, more than 700,000 websites had enrolled in the Associates Program. (Global Market Information Database, 2003)What many consider to be the defining characteristic of Amazons business model is that the firm has no physical retail activities, operating only via the Internet. However, its virtual operation is very much underpinned by administrative and service facilities, and in 2001, these consisted of US fulfilment facilities in upstart Castle, Delaware Coffeyville, Kansas Campbellsville and Lexington, Kentucky Fernley, Nevada and Grand Forks, North Dakota as well as a seasonal worker fulfilment centre, used as necessary, in Seattle, Washington. The company also leases and operates three European fulfilment centres located in the UK, France and Germany and, in Japan, the courier company Nippon Express provides fulfilment services for orders from www.amazon.co.jp. These fulfilment centres comprise in complete around four million sq ft of warehouse space, and in addition, Amazon leases four off-site facilities that fluctuate from 340,000 to 710,000 sq ft of space, which support the storage and fulfilment functions of the US centres. (Global Market Information Database, 2003)What are the technologies used by the organisation in pursuit of competitive advantage?In Hamids (2005) article, he focuses strongly on the fact that Amazon offers many interesting variations on the strategic applications of Internet technology, in order to enhance customer kindred and acquire customer loyalty. Obviously, Amazons offerings of personalised se rvices, confirmation of orders in real time and other value added activities substantiated the ability of the Internet as a competitive tool. As the number of internet users is growing rapidly around the world, retailers are under great pressure to take advantage of this huge online market potence. However the challenge is whether online retailers can match up with other, bricks and mortar competitors worldwide in terms of services rendered on the Internet. Hamid investigated the train of Internet technology applied by web sites in view of global electronic marketplace competition, decideing that many Internet retailers are still lagging behind in fully utilizing the strategic potential of the Internet particularly in enhancing customer relations. However, Amazon is already way a foreland of this, using some of the technologies described above, and plans to cement its lead further in the next five to ten years and, in doing so, knock over the book business yet again.Curtis (2005 ) analyse Amazons recent eruditions of on-demand book scoreer BookSurge and e-book company MobiPocket, claiming that they may signal a orgasm transformation of the publishing business, one that includes an end to the industrys biggest problem that of returns. Since practical print on demand (POD) technology became available in 1998, it offered retailers the vision of a book business driven by demand-and-supply, rather than the veritable dedication model, and Amazon is ideally placed to turn that vision into reality (Curtis, 2005) stipulation that the retailer take ins or leases well over four million uncoiled feet of warehouse space, no small portion of which is devoted to books, and employs 9,000 people to affect orders, it would benefit immensely if it could forward orders to a printer to drop-ship books directly to customers. non only would this benefit Amazon itself, but also potentially the publishers, destiny Amazon develop strong relationships with yet another stake holder group. ace strategy might be for Amazon to print pre-sold books in its stimulate comprise which, aside from shifting printing and shipping be from publishers to the retailer, would also aggressively reduce the guesswork for publishers setting print runs. Given current economies of measure for large print runs of big books, its standardisedly publishers would, at least for the predictable future, continue to print books the traditional way for brick-and-mortar accounts. However, Curtis (2005) claims that even a cock of POD and traditional printing makes more sense than the current logical thinking that you can make more money by printing a million copies and selling fractional of them than you can by printing half(prenominal) a million and selling all of them.Though POD manufacturing be are currently far higher than those of traditional long print runs, longer POD print runs, and lower unit costs, will become more common if the number of pre orders on the site cont inues to rise, and as the technology continues to improve, especially given Amazons access to detailed customer data which it can use to predict future retail trends. Equally, Amazons acquisition of the e-book retailer, MobiPocket, enables the company to contemplate developing virtual publishing in its purest form eliminating hard copies and delivering virtual books electronically to customers at a fraction of the current cost. As Amazon masters these technologies and delivery systems in the coming years, possibly even becoming a publisher in its own right, it will be harder and harder for traditional publishers to support the outdated consignment model, and potentially gravid Amazon its highest ever level of competitive advantage. Indeed, trade publishers may find themselves shifting to a system in which most books are pre-sold, disregarding of the channel, further increasing Amazons advantage over the traditional stores. Curtis, R. (2005)What are the implications of this techn ology on the internal organisation of work?One of the key implications of the importance of technology to Amazon is that the company has to maintain its bounce in technology an edge that is more critical than ever as Amazon increasingly squares off against sophisticated e-commerce survivors like eBay, whilst controlling the potentially massive costs of said technology. Just two and a half years ago, Amazon spent 11 cents on tech for every(prenominal) $1 in sales, but now the company fall outs only nigh 6 cents. All told, Amazons tech spending has fallen 25 portion from its September 2000 peak, even as the company added nine new categories to its retail lineup and signed on dozens of new incarnate partners. However, scorn the need to slash unnecessary costs, at other times, its much bust to invest your way to efficiency and, as Amazons head of technological development claims You cant be cheap for the wrong reasons. (Thomas, 2003)As such, Amazons internal cater have embraced open-source coding, transposition Sun servers with Linux boxes from Hewlett-Packard, and necessitating a whole new organisational structure for the technological development staff. For every $1 spent on the new hardware, the company deliver $10 in license fees, maintenance, and expected hardware upgrades, but also has to learn and adapt to the new processes and systems. The company has also been willing to spend to save, maintaining its own warehouse-management software package, which has to be built and maintained by internal staff, even though ready-made alternatives like Logility might cost as little as $375,000. However, with its own software, Amazon can tweak inventory algorithms whenever it wants so that, for example, a book isnt shipped to New York from a Nevada warehouse when it could be move faster and cheaper from Delaware, and managers can have greater control over their own warehouse staff. (Thomas, 2003)Equally, although Amazons partners are primarily intended to supply revenue, they are also used to help control internal costs the company has recently began to invest in Web services and tools that make it easy for partners to hook into applications Amazon had developed for its own use. Now retailers like Nordstrom and Gap can feed their inventory into Amazons new apparel store without a lot of custom coding, and freelance programmers can build their own online stores using Amazons payment, fulfilment, and customer services, meaning that Amazons internal staff only need track these stores and ensure they are using the services correctly, rather than have to handle all the marketing and coding themselves. For example, a Romanian coder created www.simplest-shop.com, which uses Amazons Web services tools to extract product data from Amazon and then fashions side by side comparison tables, which is a feature not available on Amazon.com, essentially doing Amazons marketing and retailing for it. (Thomas, 2003)Amazons recent shift towards sour cos ts has also has an effect on its internal organisation of work in 2001, Amazon embarked on a restructuring plan which would lead to a reduction in its personnel numbers by some 1,300, or 15% of its workforce. This also involved the consolidation of Amazons corporate office locations in Seattle the closure of its fulfilment centre in McDonough, tabun the operation of its Seattle fulfilment centre on a seasonal footing the closure of its customer service centres in Seattle, Washington and the Netherlands and the migration of a large portion of its technology infrastructure to a new hardware and software platform. The company estimated that the restructuring would result in costs during the first half of 2001 majestic US$150 million relating primarily to severance, fixed asset impairments, act lease obligations and other exit costs related to the restructuring. The restructuring has also lead to fundamental changes in the roles of its staff, and the organisational structures within which they work, with many staff taking over greater responsibilities and a greater scope of work.

Effects of the Nuremberg Trials on Experiments and Ethics

Effects of the Nuremberg Trials on Experiments and ethical motiveLaws of clinical running plays-the Nuremberg phenomenonHuman enquiry and war- German and the alliedGermanThe guerrilla World War (1939-45) is considered as the time when gentlemans gentleman enquiry got a great attention along with all its flaws. The proves conducted by the German administration got all the attention, though the allied were also convolute in much(prenominal) tasteations.The experiments that were d unmatched can be divided into three categoriesExperiments aimed at facilitating the option of Axis military personnel.- In Dachau, physicians from the German air force and from the German Experimental Institution for Aviation conducted high-altitude experiments, using a low-pressure chamber, to s give the maximum altitude from which crews of damaged aircraft could parachute to safety. Scientists there carried out alleged(prenominal) freezing experiments using prisoners to find an effective handling for hyp an other(prenominal)wisemia. They also utilise prisoners to study conglomerate regularitys of making seawater potable.experiment aimed at exploitation and testing pharmaceuticals and treatment methods for injuries and illnesses which German military and occupation personnel encountered in the field- At the German concentration camps of Sachsenhausen, Dachau, Natzweiler, Buchenwald, and Neuengamme, scientists time-tested immunization compounds and sera for the pr take downtion and treatment of contagious diseases, including malaria, typhus, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, yellow fever, and infectious hepatitis. The Ravensbrueck camp was the site of bone-grafting experiments and experiments to test the efficacy of newly developed sulfa (sulfanilamide) drugs. At Natzweiler and Sachsenhausen, prisoners were theater of operationsed to phosgene and mustard gas in install to test possible antidotes.Experimentation sought to onward motion the racial and ideological tenets of the Nazi worldview- The most in noteworthy were the experiments of Josef Mengele at Auschwitz. Mengele conducted medical checkup experiments on twins. He also directed serological experiments on capital of Italy (Gypsies), as did Werner Fischer at Sachsenhausen, in order to determine how different races withstood various contagious diseases. The research of August Hirt at Strasbourg University also int stop to name Jewish racial inferiority.Others- Other gruesome experiments meant to further Nazi racial goals were a series of sterilization experiments, undertaken primarily at Auschwitz and Ravensbrueck. There, scientists tested a number of methods in their effort to develop an efficient and inexpensive physical process for the mass sterilization of Jews, Roma, and other groups Nazi leaders considered to be racially or genetically undesirable.Apart from the German experiments the other axis solid ground Japan had formed the unit 731, which had supposedly carried out human ex periments including bug warfare, weapon testing and vivisection. besides the Japanese work was never tested on an accredited legal trial. Hal Gold, Unit 731 Testimony, 2003, p. 109 claims that this was mainly because MacArthur secretly disposed(p) immunity to the physicians of Unit 731, including their leader, in exchange for providing America, but non the other wartime allies, with their research on biological warfare.1 Under leadership of Lev Smirnov, one of the top Soviet prosecutors at the Nuremberg Trials, The Japanese doctors and army commanders who had perpetrated the Unit 731 experiments received sentences from the Khabarovsk act ranging from two to 25 years in a Siberian apprehend camp. The Americans refused to acknowledge the trials, branding them communist propaganda.The allied experiments2The office of scientific research and Development (OSRD) was formed in the summer of 1941, by the executive order of the president of USA, to look over two committees one related t o weapons research and other the Committee on medical examination Research (CMR)to combat the hygienicness enigmas that threatened the combat efficiency of American soldiers. During the years the OSRD funded 600 research proposals precious at $25 million with 135 institutes.3 The CMR not only provided the organisational root but also the intellectual justification of post-world war NIH (national Institute of Health, USA). The CMRs major concerns were dysentery, influenza, malaria, wounds, venereal diseases, and physical hardships (including sleep deprivation and exposure to diametrical temperatures).The dysentery trials of CMR residents of the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphanage in Xenia, Ohio the Dixon, Illinois, institution for the retarded and the New Jersey ground Colony for the Feeble- Minded. The residents were injected with experimental vaccines or potentially therapeutic agents, some of which produced a storey of protection against the bacteria but, as evidenced by fe ver and soreness, were too toxic for common use. In the malaria trial researchers chose to infect residents of convey mental hospitals and prisons. A sixty bed clinical unit was ceremonious at the Manteno, Illinois, State Hospital the display cases were psychotic, backward patients who were purposefully infected with malaria by means of blood transfusions and then given antimalarial therapies. Similarly, residents of verbalize facilities for the retarded (Pennhurst, Pennsylvania) and the mentally ill (Michigans Ypsilanti State Hospital) were used for the anti- influenza trials.Thus the wartime experiments two in the Nazi Germ each and the Allied countries were promoting teleological as opposed to deontological moral philosophy the greatest good for the greatest number was the most compelling doctrine to justify sending some men to be killed so that others mogul live.Post war changes the Nuremberg Trial-The epic shift in universal regulations of human experimentations as it is hailed by some came after the Second World War. The priming coat was the German Exploitation of the Jews in various camps and the subsequent war crimes trial that are combined to be known as Nuremberg trial. The trial comprised of one International Military Tribunal (IMT) and twelve trials of other accused war criminals before the United States Nuremberg Military Tribunals (NMT)4.The NMT case 1- U.S.A. vs. Karl Brandt, et al, or the doctors trial as it is popularly known in public domain formed the posterior of this regulation. Four counts of outpourings were brought against 23 doctors and researchers.5 The counts includedcommon design or confederationwar crimescrimes against humanityMembership in a criminal organisation.The item crimes charged included more than twelve series of medical experiments concerning the make of and treatments for high altitude conditions, freezing, malaria, poison gas, sulfanilamide, bone, muscle, and nerve regeneration, bone transplantation, sa ltwater consumption, pestilent jaundice, sterilization, typhus, poisons, and incendiary bombs. These experiments were conducted on concentration camp inmates. Other crimes involved the assembleting to death of Jews for anatomical research, the killing of tubercular Poles, and the euthanasia of sick and disabled civilians in Germany and occupied territories. The defendants were charged with ordering, supervising, or coordinating criminal activities, as well as participating in them directly.The trial began on Dec 9, 1946 and ended on Aug 20, 1947. The trial saw 85 witnesses and 1500 documents. Out of 23 defendants, 7 were acquitted of all charges, 16 were found to be guilty and 7 of them were executed. The argument for the defendants that were placed before the tribunal were-The defendants had obeyed the laws of the Nazi regime. In fact, their experiments were the way out of legally valid orders given by government authoritiesThey were not guilty of any crime, and certainly not of a crime against humanity, because they were authorise physicians, engaged in research. And the research pattrn was not different from that in other places of the world.They had not violated any law or stature by which they were governed in place during the time of the crime.The NMT was not keen on difficult the 1931 German guidelines, which was truly in force at the times of committing the crime, til now after representation by defendants.6 A document was hastily put in place on the advice of medical experts Harold Se bring forth, Leo Alexander, and Andrew Ivy, which later became famous as Nuremberg ordinance. It comprised of ten sets of guidelines as follows71. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any component part of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-r apieceing, or o ther ulterior form of constraint or obsession and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the factors of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment the method and means by which it is to be conducted all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expect and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly play along from his participation in the experiment.The duty and obligation for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.2. The experiment should be much(prenominal) as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by othe r methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and knowledge of the native history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results volition justify the performance of the experiment.4. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.5. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.7. comme il faut preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.8. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be necessary done all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.9. During the gradation of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.10. During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probably cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, prime(prenominal) skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subjects.However the Nuremberg Code was not a law into itself. It was merely a capable collection of ideas drafted hastily to provide a trial. Apart from article 4, 5, 9 10, the Nuremberg code literally draws from the 1931 German Directive, though there are no acknowledgements of such and thus makes itself guilty of Plagiarism. 8 While article 4 9 are non-controversial, the article 5 10 are poorly worded and actually provided loopholes by virtue of being poorly structured. Article 5 seems to extract that studies that are endangering the life of subjects are permissible, if the investigator also is a subject. This runs against natural justice, just because the investigator is ready to risk his own life, he has no right to endanger another persons life. By this token, a drunken pilot should be allowed to fly, since his own life is at jeopardy along with that of his passengers. Similarly in article 10, investigator is not required to terminate the trial, but should be merely prepared to do so, if he/she thinks there is risk of death or serious injury to the subject. The residue between being required to stop and ready to stop has been wooly-minded on the authors of the document.91 Takashi Tsuchiya, The Imperial Japanese Experiments in China, in The Oxford Textbook of clinical Research Ethics (Oxford University Press, 2008), 3542.2 Enclyclopedia of Bioethics.3 ib.4 Nuremberg Trials Project Introduction, accessed April 12, 2014, http//nuremberg.law.harvard.edu/php/docs_swi.php?DI=1text=overview.5 Nuremberg Trials Project Medical Case Overview, accessed April 12, 2014, http//nuremberg.law.harvard.edu/php/docs_swi.php?DI=1text=medical.6 Sass HM, Ambiguities In Judging Cruel Human Experimentation Arbitrary American Responses to German and Japanese Experiments 13, no. 3 (May 2003) 1024.7 The Nuremberg Code (1947).8 RavindraB Ghooi, The Nuremberg Code-A Critique, Perspectives in Clinical Research 2, no. 2 (2011) 72, doi10.4103/2229-3485.80371.9 Ibid.

Reader Response Essay - Slave Purchases and Breeding: Unruly Slave :: Reader Response Essays

Reader Response Essay - slave Purchases and Breeding balky SlaveMy initial response to G. B. Wallaces earn was one of confusion. As I reread the piece given the title Slave Purchases and Breeding Unruly Slave, Wallace, G.B I realized that it was nothing more than a business letter between a slave owner and an associate of his that could presumably facilitate him out of his situation. The language of the letter created a small barrier, since it was out of get out in comparison to contemporary American language, but with a small(a) effort, I could see the authors intentions. For example, I have neer heard the word aforesaid used before. Using the context of the letter, I could deduce that it simply means mentioned earlier or said beforehand. This answer doesnt surprise me because I rarely read literature from this meter period, and anything you dont do often takes a little era to get used to. I adjusted to the language easily, because the letter was on the spur of the moment and simple, thus requiring little patience to understand. As far as my reception to the actual subject matter of the letter, I was not overly surprise or repelled by the in human raceity concerning the slaves. I dont control slavery or reconcile any prejudices. I think human property is very wrong. Americans should be ashamed to bear its disgraces as fraction of our history. The truth should be known, though that is part of our history, and many horrible things happened because of it. This piddling letter, however, did not arouse any of the anger that comes with the portrayal of such injustice. I am a sensible person, but I am in any case very sympathetic and sensitive to the needs of others. When extreme prejudices occur, such as slavery, and I read stories or watch movies about it, it really does affect me. I didnt feel this way at all later on reading this letter about slave trading. Maybe it is because nothing in the letter, such as the tone or word usage, l ed me to turn over that these slaves were being mistreated. Obviously, slavery in itself is mistreatment, but it was also part of the Confederate culture of that time period. I mean, just because someone owned slaves doesnt necessarily mean he is a horrible person. People do things that I consider to be immoral all the time, but I dont condemn them as bad.

The Efficacy of Lithium in Treating Bipolar Disorder Essay -- Treatmen

The Efficacy of lithium in Treating Bipolar upset Lithium is a psychotropic drug that became available in 1970 as a mood stabilizing medication for the long-term treatment of bipolar disorder. It has been shown to sicken the frequency and severity of manic states, as well as the slump that is concomitant with bipolar disorder. Much research has been done in the compendious duration of lithiums employment to evaluate its efficacy and side effects.As stated above, Lithium stabilizes the mood of a bipolar patient, preventing a relapse into each mania or depression (Kalat, 2004, p.472). Bipolar disorder (also known as manic-depressive illness), is characterized by the presence of the following symptoms motor hyperactivity, flight of ideas, elation, a otiose need for sleep, grandiosity, poor judgment, aggressiveness, and possible hostility (FDA, 2005, 4).

John Steinbecks The Grapes of Wrath :: essays research papers

John Steinbecks The Grapes of Wrath serves as a milestone in the plethora of literature addressing the lives, adversities and perseverance of those affected by the American Great Depression of the 1920s and 1930s. However, the responses generated by the book motley greatly. Some permit hailed it as one of the great American masterpieces, flaws included, whilst others guide it as a so-so book fraught with distorted, dramatised hi taradiddle and propaganda. The forefront that persists sixty-six years later the publication of the novel, and sixty-five years after the dbut of John Fords black and ashen drama, is can this work serve as reliable history and permit literature? The novel was always intended to be a material account of the hardships of the migrating Okies, yet as Keith Windschuttle eloquently dissects in his article Steinbecks Myth of the Okies, the diachronic distortions of the narrative, regardless of the authors intention, abound.Before assessing the historical m erit of such a work it is important to systematically debunk the gross inaccuracies of the text. When assessing the historical writing of narrative, especially fictitious writing that presents itself as history, it is important to take into account the inherent subjective nature of a narrative. When creating any account of history it is unavoidable that the writer of fiction (or level off brute fact) will select and combine sources he designates as relevant in order to aid the overall meaning-making process of the text. Thus, Steinbecks tackle to generate dramatised myth around the history of depression and in specific the Okies, is only a function of the narrative intended to capture the reader. For example, in response to Keith Windschuttles article some readers of the New Criterion have been quoted the greatness of The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbecks masterpiece and one of the great American novels, should not be minimized, and I believe Mr. Windshuttle was wrong to do so.

The name refers to William Shakespheres character Ophelia, the young girl who drowned herself in a river after(prenominal) being shunned by Hamlet. Ophelia is the epitome of lost pistillate youth. The transition that happens from girl to woman is quite difficult for most. Pipher examines the loss of self that most girls experience in their adolescence.
