oftheoretically relevant work relating to these trends and a study examining the expected effectsthese trends might have on the employment environment in the oil and gas industry. The study was conducted in two phases. The first phase was focus-qualitative using interview groups. The results of these focus groups indicated that the oil industry is experiencing a period of consolidation and downsizing. Reasons cited for these trends included depressed oil prices‚ minimized revenues‚ and decreased

empirical model of player motivations in online games provides the foundation to understand and assess how players differ from one another and how motivations of play relate to age‚ gender‚ usage patterns‚ and in-game behaviors. In the current study‚ a factor analytic approach was used to create an empirical model of player motivations. The analysis revealed 10 motivation subcomponents that grouped into three overarching components (achievement‚ social‚ and immersion). Relationships between motivations

QUALITATIVE TESTS FOR SOME CATIONS II CHEMISTRY 11.1 OCTOBER 5 2013 QUALITATIVE TESTS FOR SOME CATIONS II I. Introduction Qualitative analysis schemes are often based on selective precipitation of different cations. By carefully selecting reagents and conditions for reactions‚ groups of ions can be separated on the basis of their reactivity and the solubility of their salts. This enables the experimenter to use simple techniques with standard laboratory equipment‚ as well as to learn

problems encountered in the measurement and evaluation process of PESTEL analysis. The integrated structure of PESTEL factors and sub-factors were modeled by AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and ANP (Analytic Network Process) techniques. Relationships between PESTEL factors were determined by DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory). Global weights of the sub-factors were calculated using ANP. The PESTEL analysis model proposed in the study could determine the extent to which the

Abstract Chemically active extraction was used to separate two unknown compounds from each other and to determine what compound class each compound belongs. The solid unknown was purified by recrystallization and its melting point range was determined to be 109-111°C. The liquid unknown was purified by simple distillation and its boiling point was determined to be 95°C. An IR spectrum was collected for each of the purified compounds; the solid was determined to be 3-toluic acid and the liquid was

Andrew Carnegie once said‚ “No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.” Teamwork is the key component to achieving something great‚ if a leader wants to be great‚ his team must also be great.

Authoritative leadership is less effective than collaborative leadership because fear and power create anarchy and dissent‚ while respect and decency create a harmonious society. This

The implications of the research was stated which is the need for nurses who work in corrections to work towards “decriminalizing” DSH and to develop a prison protocol that gives nurses permission to “just listen” and give incarcerated women permission to “just talk” without fear of reprisal”( Mangnall‚ J.‚ & Yurkovich‚ E. 2010).Also‚ a new insight emerged that was that these women were being
