advaced condition monitoring


As the plant condition monitoring engineer, you have been instructed to improve the lubrication practices for your plant’s turbine alternator by first understanding the current situation practices and then establishing a lubrication monitoring program for ongoing management.
The lubrication system
The system provides 64 kilolitres of lubrication oil to the steam turbine that drives a 300-mega watt generator.
Notes on the system:
• For the past 20 years the oil has been replaced on an annual basis. When asked why this was done you were told that was how it had always been.
• Known problems within the existing lubrication system include, water ingress, minor leaks at sump joins and hose connections. After each lubrication change, major control system malfunctions occur. (Control system manufacturer’s tolerances include internal clearances of 3 micrometres.)
• An older style centrifuge unit is used to remove the water but with minimal success.
• Top up is unmonitored and carried out by untrained personnel.
• There are no breathers within the system and the system is open to the atmosphere.
• Due to the nature of the building, oil changes are carried out by syphoning 205 litre drums into a storage tank, which then feeds the turbine sump.
• Some chemical analysis of the lubrication is carried out, but the results are filed and not used.
• After checking these typical chemical results you find that the chemical properties of the lubricant have been satisfactory at the time of sampling.
• An initial cleanliness check was carried out, and this showed that the new oil arrived at the sump dirtier than that in service.
• Generally there was no perceived ownership for the turbine’s lubrication system.

introduction to accounting




You are required to:
1. Obtain the last five year’s published Income Statements and Balance Sheets for a company listed on the London Stock Market.
2. Identify 4 groups who would be interested in utilizing these financial statements and critically discuss the purposes for which they would use them.
3. Identify the accounting ratios that would best enable the chosen user groups to achieve their purpose and calculate these ratios for your chosen company (two for each user group).
4. Analyse the ratios calculated and discuss in relation to the user groups identified and their purpose of use.
submit a report detailing your analysis and the results of your calculations. The actual calculations must be shown as a part of the appendix.

Entertainment Education Media Campaign


Design an entertainment-education media campaign in your country of choice to promote pro-social (good) behaviors. Please remember you can use any mode of delivery (music, folk theater, street theater, soap opera, television serials, comedy/tragedy, and or a combination of the foregoing) to disseminate your message. (You may want to use these strategies to tackle such issues in your country: Childhood obesity, family planning, healthy diet, adult education, smoking prevention/cessation, alcoholism, spousal abuse, etc.) CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!

Strategic Brand Management


• Identify and assess the sources of brand equity outlining the Customer-Based Brand Equity Model for your brand.
• Evaluate how the brand’s elements build brand equity
• Critically examine the brand’s current marketing programmes, talk to potential customers, workmates,etc., about the brand.(Evidence questionnaire?)
• Evaluate the ‘brand knowledge structure’ of a brand.
• Discuss the role of ‘brand knowledge’ in building brand equity,
• Provide recommendations as to how the brand should be managed.

Analysis of Research (Applied Computer Science)



The ability to read, understand, critique, and integrate research studies and to design a study to address a gap in the research literature is a vital tool for a doctoral student. As you get ready to write your thesis, you may be reading hundreds of studies, many of which you will evaluate as part of a coherent literature review.
Select five empirical articles from peer-reviewed journals that:
• you consider critical to your understanding of your area of research (applied Computer Science)
• all address a particular phenomenon and attempt to contribute to theory about it
Part 1
1. Describe each study, including:
• the research problem, questions, or hypotheses
• the research purpose
• type of design and elements of the design (e.g., sample, data analysis, operationalization of constructs)
• threats to validity and if and how they were addressed
• the findings and their implications
2. Critically evaluate each study: Does the author make a compelling case for the meaning and significance of the findings?
Part 2
Write a literature review that explains what is known and not known about the phenomenon based on a critical evaluation of the five studies.
Part 3
Develop a research question that addresses one of the unknowns you identified in Part 2 and sketch a quantitative or qualitative study that can answer the question about what is unknown and contribute to theory (in some sense of theory you discuss in Question 1).
Address:
• the research purpose
• type of design and elements of the design (e.g., sample, the type of data you need to collect and how you will collect it, data analysis)
• the strengths and weaknesses of your envisioned design and methods
• quantitative: threats to validity and how your design will address them
• quantitative: the constructs you will measure and what you will do in order to determine how to operationalize them (you need not identify specific measures)
• qualitative: your means of ensuring the quality of your findings
• justification for why your chosen design and methods are more appropriate for your research question than alternatives you have considered
• your methods of data analysis
• how the data you collect will enable you to answer your research question and contribute to theory
3. Apply relevant theory and research from the student’s specialization coursework to real life situations where he or she solves specific problems and discusses implications.

Android SDK and Flash


Comparison of Smart Phone Development Tools: Android SDK and Flash
This is an MSc software engineering project. For the project you will be required to develop to simple mobile applications (Caribbean food gallery). then compare the two platforms in terms of a.how the HCI issues of the two platforms relate in terms of differences and similarities,b. are the two applications similar in line with the development experience,c))how can these two platforms be compared in terms of the usability and maintainability. you will also be looking at the database connection of the two tools.CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
