Dislocations in vertical grain boundaries were observed to move essentially horizontally, while the horizontal grain boundaries were primarily stationary; the horizontal movement in the vertical grain boundary is directly responsible for the changes in the growth rate and size of the domain walls. The authors manage to clearly present this primary finding, but the implications and import of this discovery are not made abundantly clear in their discussion. The interactions of distortions are more adequately examined and explained. A study smaller and more basic in scope that focused more on the decay of various patterns rather than the growth and persistence of their distortions provides some greater insights into the primary study reviewed herein. Huang and Vinals (2007) identify wave variations and nodal placement as primary causes behind topographic distortions, which is an area not addressed in Kamaga, Ibrahim, and Dennin (2008). This calls their research somewhat into question, as the complexity of their findings is contrasted to the relative simplicity of the wave explanation for longitudinal shifts and changes in the domain walls and boundary distances, however the difference in the...
Meth Addiction and Abuse Problems Meth Crystal Addiction and Abuse Problems in Los Angeles County Meth addiction and abuse problems are on a rise in Los Angeles County and many other places in other countries. Its use and abuse has become so common that some people have started referring to it as the new heroin. Just like any other drug, the use of this drug above its therapeutic dose has produced toxicities
VERY POWERFUL in that one can use the software in presentation mode, then run "what if" scenarios based on feedback from the group -- no manual coding required. The platform is independent; visual models can be exported to PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, Adobe, etc. For ease of sharing (SAP, 2011). As a user review, one finds that Crystal Reports allows to graphically design data connections in a report layout. The power of
Evidence-Based Practice Project: Reducing Rate of Psychiatric Readmission The purpose of the evidence-based practice project is to examine ways to eliminate psychiatric readmissions. More specifically, literature is reviewed to examine evidence supporting the effectiveness of care transition interventions in preventing re-hospitalization amongst adult patients with severe mental illness. In this chapter, the search process is first described. Next, the identified literature is summarized and synthesized, clearly evaluating the relevance of the
Revenue Estimates: Underestimation of Revenues Although the United States has an excellent budget policy, she is yet to reach maximum efficiency with regard to revenue estimation. When it comes to public budgeting, ours is a picture that is far from the ideal. There has been a consistent pattern of underestimation of revenues in federal, state, local, as well as agency budgets. This trend may not be desirable for a recovering
Consequently, marketing efforts become more and more important. Glyn Atwal and Alistair Williams (2009) for instance argue that the creators of luxury products have to use marketing efforts to identify new customers' needs even before the customers become aware of these needs. In other words, they have to "stay in front of luxury consumers" (Atwal and Williams, 2009, p.338). And in order to do so, the luxury products manufacturers strive
"The second step is to develop a touch-point chain and gauge those with the greatest impact. The third step is to turn findings into project priorities. The final step is to implement and monitor." (Atwal and Williams, 2009 P. 343). Uche (2009) provides different argument by pointing out that internet experience create compelling, enjoyable, memorable, and positive experience for online shoppers. The author develops web experience model to demonstrate the
