The liver is one of the main organs of the body that really bear the brunt of steroid use. The level to nwhich this organ is damaged is dependent on the type of steroid that is used, how long the steroid has been used, and the amount of steroid that has been used. Any time that the liver has undergone damage or stress there are certain chemicals including SGPT and SGOT that are noticed in the bloodstream. Tests that measure the liver function use...more
While services with parcel couriers are often phrased in terms of how long it will take for a package to be delivered, such as "next day service", services in the large trucking industry are phrased differently. Instead, it is more common to describe a shipment in terms of how much of a truck you are going to take up with your cargo. Therefore, when you order LTL courier services, it stands for "less than truck load". The other type of service is...more
There's no question that scheduling a custom job shop has it challenges. And every time we encounter one of the many challenges, our schedule is out of date, and we need to update the schedule.In fact, don't we spend A LOT of time updating the schedule? Here are just a few of the common scheduling challenges that cause us to have to continually update the schedule: [1]1. Clients change their mind 2. Vendors aren't always reliable 3. Mix can vary wildly and so our constraint moves 4. Employees do not always have the right skill and their discipline is lacking 5. Processes are not reliable 6. Machines & tools break 7. Quality is not near perfect 8. Data is not readily available nor accurate nor communicated9. Communication between silos is difficultBut there is also no question that scheduling plays a big role in our on time delivery performance and our lead time.

High-speed deliveries NTT DoCoMo in Japan, one of the world's leading mobile providers, recently announced a prototype wireless network that could send data packets at 2.5 gigabits per second- fast enough to download a DVD movie in between 7.5 and 10 seconds- to a mobile device travelling at 20 Km/h. If their prototype wireless technology can produce even a fraction of that 2.5 gigabit transfer rate in real-world applications, it would vastly enhance mobile functions- allowing video telephony, robust Internet connectivity, and streaming media services, while at the same time extending the range of traditional voice calls. These high-speed data networks, along with increasingly powerful mobile handsets, have the potential to supplant the use of desktop computers- a trend that is already occurring in some Asian countries. This potential market has DoCoMo, along with almost every other major wireless player, including Motorola, Samsung and Qualcomm, scrambling to develop their own technology for the next generation of wireless networks often labelled 4G. DoCoMo's demonstration gives a glimpse into the two types of technology that will most likely be adopted to increase...more
