Abstract In 1999‚ the Daewoo Group‚ one of the biggest transnational conglomerates‚ collapsed‚ committing a staggering $15.3 billion in accounting fraud in the process‚ the largest in world history. In 2006‚ its chairman was sentenced to eight years in prison and a disgorgement penalty of $22.7 billion. Daewoo’s problems‚ however‚ did not remain a case isolated to Korea and their mighty‚ family-controlled conglomerates called “chaebol.” Daewoo’s demise foreshadowed corporate scandals

States of Matter Jun Ruan Solid Molecules are tighly packed and harder than liquids and gases. Examples: Ice‚ Coal‚ Salt Amorphous solid-a solid which has a disordered atomic structure. Examples: Glass‚ Rubber Liquids flowing freely but of constant volume. Examples: Water‚ Mercury‚ Alcohol Viscosity-a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress. Surface tension-the force that acts on the surface of a liquid and tends to minimize the surface

disaster risk equation can be used to explain why similar hazards can cause disasters of different degrees. Example 1) Similar sized earthquakes occurred in Kashmir‚ Pakistan (2005) and Izmit‚ Turkey (1999). 2) Although the hazard was similar (both were earthquakes)‚ the disasters they caused were different- Kashmir suffered more loss of life with over 75000 deaths compared to Izmit around 18000. 3) The disaster risk equation can help to explain why: * The people of Kashmir has a lower

“Is Density An Intensive Property Of Matter?” By: Mikal Hayden - Gates A. Introduction The first unit we learned in chemistry was Alchemy. In this unit I learned about the extensive and intensive properties of matter. An extensive property is a property of matter that depends on the changes of the substances shape or amount. An intensive property is a property of matter that doesn’t depend on the substances shape or amount. The purpose of this investigation was to prove that density is

Chapter 15: • Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. – Ex: Your textbook‚ you‚ your pen/pencil‚ air‚ etc. • Classification systems are used all the time to organize objects. – Ex: The Periodic Table of Elements‚ organizing your locker‚ your clothes‚ etc. • In order to make the study of matter easier to understand‚ scientists have developed ways to classify matter. • The properties of materials can be used to classify them into general categories. – Ex: Pure substances‚ elements

A Matter of Time By Shashi Deshpande. Feminist Press at the CUNY‚ 1999. Reviewed by Sudha S. Balagopal I first read a A Matter of Time a few years ago‚ when it was published in India. The book made a deep impression on me‚ with its sensitive story of rebuilding and hope. After its more recent release in the US‚ I read it again‚ enjoying it even more.Very few books can lay claim to that fact for me. In A Matter of Time‚ a father‚ named Gopal‚ with three almost-grown girls‚ decides he has had

Chapter 2 The Components of Matter Elements‚ Compounds‚ and Mixtures: An Atomic Overview An element consists of only one kind of atom. An element is one kind of substance – the composition is fixed. Each element is unique because the properties of its atoms are unique. Molecules are structures containing two or more atoms chemically bound together. Diatomic molecules are two-atom molecules such as elemental oxygen. A compound is a type of matter in which two or more different elements are chemically

Nicholas G. Carr published this article in the May of 2003. Its purpose was to convey to the reader that IT no longer matters and may no longer be relevant. Carr’s reasoning behind this is that corporations have universally accepted and use IT; this makes the use of IT a commodity and no longer puts the corporation at an advantage over any other using IT. Which means that using IT would no longer be a strategic decision for the corporation. After explaining this Carr offered new rules for IT management

CHAPTER 5 STATES OF MATTER INTERMOLECULAR FORCES Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction and repulsion between interacting particles (atoms and molecules). Attractive intermolecular forces are known as van der Waals forces. van der Waals forces include dispersion forces or London forces‚ dipole-dipole forces‚ and dipole-induced dipole forces. A particularly strong type of dipole-dipole interaction is hydrogen bonding. Dispersion Forces or London Forces Observed between non-polar molecules
