In 1995‚ Pierre Omidyar founded eBay‚ an on-line company whose purpose was to facilitate an environment where people could not only exchange goods‚ but also have discussions‚ make connections‚ and form relationships. He carefully crafted a culture based upon‚ “trust‚ respect‚ autonomy‚ empowerment‚ and equality‚” and sought for the eBay community and company to be reflective of those principles. eBay was successful because Omidyar realized that a respectful‚ symbiotic relationship with this on-line

pros and cons of eBay’s playbook strategy. Pros of eBay’s playbook strategy are: • Develops suggestions as to how to drive traffic to the local eBay site through ads at a country’s most popular Web sites and search engines (as stated) • Dictates that products‚ info‚ and chat groups be created by buyers and sellers in that country (as stated) • eBay becomes part of the country’s internet because of the playbook • avoids problems associated with a cookie-cutter approach (as stated) - (avoids

Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change intemperature.[1] All materials have this tendency. When a substance is heated‚ its particles begin moving more and thus usually maintain a greater average separation. Materials which contract with increasing temperature are rare; this effect is limited in size‚ and only occurs within limited temperature ranges. The degree of expansion divided by the change in temperature is called the material’s coefficient

Westward Expansion The westward expansion happened in the 1800`s. It was a period of time when the United States was trying to obtain more states in the Union from throughout North America; it was titled the Manifest Destiny. One of the reasons was because immigrants wanted to come to America to have freedom of religion‚ uninhabited land‚ and access to special metals.

Experiment 1: Thermal Linear Expansion Abstract: The thermal linear expansion of copper and aluminum is the focus of this experiment where the two metals have a tendency to expand their length in response to the change of temperature. Each metals have their own coefficient of linear expansion which describes how the size of an object changes with a change in temperature while the pressure is held constant. We ’re able to determine the theoretical coefficient of linear expansion of the two metals by substituting

Page 1 of 4 Expansion Devices I. Introduction Expansion devices are basic components of a refrigeration system which carry out two major purposes: (1) the pressure reduction from the condenser to evaporator pressure and (2) the regulation of refrigerant flow into the evaporator. These expansion devices can be generally classified into two types which are namely the fixed opening type (flow area is fixed) and the variable opening type (flow area changes correspondingly with a change in mass
