Volume-variety and design In Chapter 1 the four V’s of operations were described. These were volume‚ variety‚ variation and visibility. The first two of these – volume and variety – are particularly important when considering design issues in operations management. Not only do they usually go together (high variety usually means low volume‚ high volume normally means low variety) but together they also impact on the nature of products and services and processes which produce them. The volume and

INTRODUCTION Defining and measuring the standard of living The standard of living is a measure of the material welfare of the inhabitants of a country. The baseline measure of the standard of living is real national output per head of population or real GDP per capita. This is the value of national output divided by the resident population. Other things being equal‚ a sustained increase in real GDP increases a nation’s standard of living providing that output rises faster than the total population

As of 2011‚ 99% of Mercury’s surface has been mapped by NASA. Overall‚ Mercury’s surface has many similarities to the Moon’s surface with many plains and craters. The largest crater on Mercury is the Caloris Basin with a diameter of 1550km. Venus‚ the second planet from the Sun‚ is a solid and rocky terrestrial

Na+/Cl- ‚ Urea‚ Glucose. The solute that didn’t was Albumin. 2. Explain the relationship between the rate of diffusion and the size of the solute. What do you think changes in temperature such as cold/hot would have on the diffusion rate? Answer: The rate of diffusion of molecules depends on how soluble they are. The rate of diffusion depends on the size of the molecule in general‚ small molecules would pass through a membrane faster than larger molecules. As temperatures increase‚ molecular

have a huge impact on the communication between cells. Cell communication is a crucial process necessary for cells to carry out various functions. Drugs such as Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)‚ known as ecstasy‚ can create barriers or confusion to cells. Cell to cell communication carry messages from signaling cells to target cells. Usually a cell will bind with a target cell through a receptor protein in the plasma membrane of the target cell
