The Case of Bernard Madoff Introduction: Bernard Madoff is a very successful investor and investment adviser in his early career. He is former stock broker‚ investment advisor‚ non-executive chairman of the NASDAQ stock market‚ Madoff founded the Wall Street firm Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC in 1960‚ and was its chairman until his arrest on December 11‚ 2008. The firm was one of the top market maker businesses on Wall Street‚ which bypassed "specialist" firms by directly executing

BUSINESS ETHICS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (B) HOMEWORK (13 November 2012) Student: Nguyen Thi Thuy An (Anne) I. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS (page 3) Question 1: Madoff case involves some ethical issues and questions. Firstly‚ Madoff did not tell the investors clearly about the business (what is it as well as details about the contract of investment). As he was former chairman of the NASDAQ‚ everyone was more likely to trust him‚ which resulted in less concern of the contracts‚ the investments‚ or

correctly indicate an alternating current. There are‚ however‚ four basic types of meter movement that will indicate ac values:- Thermocouple Hot wire Electrodynamometer Iron-vane Electrodynamic ammeters An electrodynamic meter uses an electromagnet instead of the permanent magnet. This instrument can respond to both alternating and direct current and also indicates true RMS for AC. Principle of working The operation is basically based on the mechanical interaction between two conductors

Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are common and connected with significant morbidity and mortality among critically ill adults (1-4). The World Society of abdominal compartment syndrome (WSACS) accord report in 2004 indicated that in the critically ill patient‚ the IAP is frequently elevated above patient’s normal baseline which is roughly 5 to 7 mmHg (1‚3). Increased IAP or Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) described as a sustained or repeated pathological

Chapter 13 AC MEASUREMENT This chapter explains rectification for measurement and rectifying instruments. Knowledge of the circuit principles will help you use these instruments properly and measurements alternating current correctly. One of the most common and economical methods for measuring alternating currents is to rectify these currents and read the resultant DC on an analog or digital volt-ohm meter (VOM). You need to take many considerations into account when using rectification: what

After thorough research‚ Pepcid was the first product which JJM sought to switch to OTC market but it required an FDA approval. In July 1994 FDA advisors recommended against allowing JJM to sell Pepcid AC‚ a reduced strength form of Pepcid‚ as an OTC drug. Problems/Opportunities: The major hurdle in launching Pepcid AC as an OTC drug was getting it approved

Alternating Current Theory - J R Lucas An alternating waveform is a periodic waveform which alternate between positive and negative values. Unlike direct waveforms‚ they cannot be characterised by one magnitude as their amplitude is continuously varying from instant to instant. Thus various forms of magnitudes are defined for such waveforms. The advantage of the alternating waveform for electric power is that it can be stepped up or stepped down in potential easily for transmission and utilisation

Discussion In the experiment AC circuits‚ the purpose was to see the effect that a capacitor‚ resistor‚ and inductor have on the voltage‚ and current of a circuit. We created circuits with 2 resistors‚ a capacitor and a resistor‚ and then a capacitor‚ resistor‚ and an inductor. The circuits were then hooked up to a function generator‚ and oscilloscope to find the voltage across certain frequencies and then calculate the peak current‚ capacitive reactance or the inductive reactance‚ and phase difference
