Sony’s reduction in supply chain Recently a piece of news which has hit the business circles and is being discussed very much is that Sony is going to reduce 75% of supply chain. Sony will now be relying on 250 of its 1000 current suppliers as a part of short term temporary strategy. Sony is choosing these 250 partners for key products such as digital cameras‚ smart phones etc. (Bloomberg Business Week‚ 2014) The news is being discussed in the business circles heavily. Some are criticizing Sony

9.1.1 Define oxidation and reduction in terms of electron loss and gain. Oxidation: the loss of electrons Reduction: the gain of electrons 9.1.2 Deduce the oxidation number of an element in a compound. Always determine elements that never change their oxidation number then ensure the charge of whole molecule is right. N.B. Atoms in elemental state have oxidation numbers of 0 9.1.3 State the names of compounds using oxidation numbers. Example of this in iron‚ can be iron(II) or iron(III) 9.1.4 Deduce

The purpose of this lab was to measure the reduction potentials of metals and to understand how a reduction-oxidation relationship works to produce spontaneity. Lastly‚ these results were used to determine the Faraday’s constant and Avogadro’s number by electrolysis‚ which is chemical decomposition produced by passing an electrical current through a solution with ions. The primary objective of part one of this experiment was to discover how the properties of an electrochemical cell works. An electrochemical

SUMMARY: Robert Sternberg an American psychologist gave us the Triarchic Theory of Love. Wherein he shows us the different components of love‚ namely: intimacy‚ passion and decision/ commitment. This theory shows that love can be understood in terms of the three components‚ and they can be viewed as forming the triangle. Intimacy acts as the top vertex of the triangle‚ passion acts as the left point of the triangle and decision/commitment acts as the right point of the triangle. According to Sternberg

Running head: RESEARCH PAPER Harm Reduction and Substance Abuse Liberty University Abstract This paper examines how harm reduction is a theoretical model which has been proposed to address the harm which is caused by the behavior of an individual‚ not only to themselves‚ but also to the wider community. In particular‚ it looks at how the model has also provided a potential framework for dealing with substance abuse‚ and has been adopted in practice in many countries around the world. This

PUTTING IT TOGETHER: Classifying Chemical Reactions Purpose: To observe and differentiate between the four different types of chemical reactions. Variables: The independent variables are the sodium chloride‚ sodium carbonate‚ magnesium‚copper‚ copper (11) sulfate‚ silver nitrate‚ oxygen‚ lead(11) nitrate‚ sodium carbonate‚ copper (11) sulfate pentahydrate. The dependent variables are the chemical reactions that are being looked for. For example decomposition‚ synthesis‚ single displacement or double

Sodium borohydride Reduction of Benzil Introduction: The Purpose of this experiment is for the students to learn how to use sodium borohydride to reduce benzil to its secondary alcohol product via reduction reaction. This two-step reaction reduces aldehydes by hydrides to primary alcohols‚ and ketones to secondary alcohols. In order for the reaction to occur and to better control the stereochemistry and yield of the product‚ the metal hydride nucleophile of the reducing agents such as LiH‚ LiAlH4
