Abstract
The paper explains that although the safe, efficient and legal operation of airports is the responsibility of the airport management, many of the individual services are provided by other organizations such as fixed base operators. The paper analyzes the specific type of services that these organizations provide, the range of employment opportunities offered by them and what changes have taken place, particularly following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The paper concludes that fixed base operators represent an important component in the nation's aviation industry, employment opportunities at fixed base operators are good and the salary ranges offered by these organizations are competitive.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the United States, a number of organizations play an important role in keeping aircraft well maintained and in training civilian pilots, including fixed base operators. According to Andrews and O'Neil (2000), "Fixed base operators provide a variety of services at civilian airports including charter flights, line service (refueling), maintenance, aircraft rental, aircraft storage, and flight training" (p. 17). There have been trends and legislation that have affected the way these organizations operate over the years, though, and these issues are discussed further below."

Abstract
The following paper examines the economic strategies adopted by the past Argentinian governments and the loop holes in their economic plans that led to such an economic disaster. This essay also examines the impact of the fixed exchange rate strategy adopted by the government of Argentina over the past few years.The writer uses some quantitative approaches to analyze the economic slowdown in Argentina and how it has affected the market conditions and what impact it has made on the standard of livings of a common man.
From the Paper
"Due to the unrealistic economic policies and unwise decisions made by the government, the Argentinean economy is going through the worst times of its history. The general public is holding the government responsible for the worsening economic crises that have led to high rate of unemployment and decline in trade activities. The current economic crises are believed to be the worst economic decline since the economic crisis of the 1980s. The credit ratings agencies and several other economic forecasters have warned that Argentina is currently facing a threat of getting defaulted on its $132bn of debt. Due to the economic slowdown and the political unrest, created by the economic crisis, it is much likely that the government of Argentina will not be able to arrange the short term repayments for its debts."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Extensible Markup Language or XML was created to help allow users to share and pass documents, which were richly structured, over the Web in an easy, cost effective manner. The author points out that a markup language is a methodology of identifying the inherent structure of a document, and therefore, XML is a critical aspect of the World Wide Web because it helps explain the way to add markup to all documents. The paper relates that the Internet is based on a foundation of distributed hypertext, which could be regarded as a large distributed database where there are million to billions of queries processed daily.

XML PAT Algebra Operators
Conclusion
From the Paper
"One such body is the American National Standards Institute or ANSI which is a non-profit private organization that surprisingly institutes standards the industry accepts voluntarily. Other influential standards organizations include the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers or IEEE and the Organization for Standardization or ISO. The IEEE was the organization that defined LAN standards in the Project 802 or the 802 series. These projects could be the blueprints that could be used to make XML more effective by using PAT Algebra Operators for query needs."

From the Paper
"In the early 1980s, most mortgage lenders were making long-term, fixed-rate loans only, and at the same time, most of the funds used to make such loans came from short-term deposits. This was a mismatch that meant that lenders were vulnerable to short-run increases in the cost of deposits, while at the same time the yields from their portfolios responded relatively slowly to rising interest rates. To solve this problem, Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) were introduced into widespread use in 1981. They were difficult to market at first as homebuyers were accustomed to fixed-rate mortgages (FRMs), and they liked the security of locking in a fixed monthly payment. FRMs became an unaffordable luxury when interest rates increased to the range of 14 to 18 percent. ARMs attracted more borrowers, and this type..."

From the Paper
There is important historical precedence for arguing that a system of fixed exchange rates is most advantageous for the purpose of economic stability. Such international monetary stability was quite apparent in the Western World during the period between 1875 and 1914. The core mechanism for this stability was the gold standard. Most major countries then set fixed values for their currencies in relation to gold. These countries also allowed the relatively free movement of gold across their boundaries and agreed to convert their currency into gold at the established price.
The exchange rates between currencies were allowed to fluctuate in response to market demand. This meant that if country A were spending more abroad than it was taking in, the overabundance of its currency abroad might lead to a fall in its ... "

From the Paper
Introduction
"The purpose of this research is to examine the question: should the United States (US) return to a system of fixed international currency exchange rates? Both the pro and the con positions are addressed in this research.
The Position Opposed to a Return to Fixed Exchange Rates
At the outset of this discussion, it must be understood that the US cannot unilaterally discard the floating exchange rate system, and return to a system of fixed rates. The system to be used must be acceptable to all of the participating countries, unless, of course, one country is both willing and capable of defending a fixed exchange rate for its currency in the face of a system which neither recognizes nor supports such a rate."

Abstract
This document discusses operations and how operations and operational efficiency should be defined. It is first characterized from a personal perspective and then expanded upon. The concept of quality is then discussed with an emphasis on quality in a financial institution. Finally, the Toyota production system is examined relative to its production efficiencies and operational advantages.
From the Paper
"The field of operations is most often associated with the compendium of processes and ongoing projects that form the nexus of an enterprise's line of business (LOB). That is, it is the sum of all the processes and projects that are required for the enterprise to produce its product or service on a daily basis. These processes and projects are usually associated with the following activities: sourcing or procurement, production or manufacturing, quality control or management, inventory, logistics, facilities control, and distribution. The term operational efficiency implies that these activities are undertaken and accomplished with the least commitment of resources in terms of time and cost, necessary to produce the product or service without compromising quality. While related, operation effectiveness implies that not only is the enterprise's product or service produced efficiently with minimal investment of resources but that a useful product or service is the result of the..."

Abstract
This paper is about a spy operation that the Soviets ran during the mid-1920s. It explains that, to date, it is still one of the most successful counter-intelligence operations ever undertaken by any intelligence agency. It explains how Lenin had most of the world fooled shortly after his Bolshevik revolution. It was the persistence of a few Polish officers that brought the whole operation down.
From the Paper
"Lenin turned to Feliks Dzerzhinsky (the creator and chief of the Cheka) to eliminate all internal and external threats and factions. Dzerzhinsky devised a plan named Tres. It was an operation that would infiltrate an anti-Bolshevik, and highly secretive organization; the "Monarchist Union of Central Russia" (MOTsR). The "leader" of the MOTsR organization was Alexander Yakushev. He was a Czarist bureaucrat of the Exploitation Department of Waterways Administration (under the Bolsheviks it was known as the Soviet Waterways Department), who subsequent to the Russian Revolution, was attached with the Narkomat of External Trade."

From the Paper
"Operations management deals with planning, organizing and controlling the processes that include all operations within the organization to produce and distribute products and services (McNamara, 2007). Major overall activities connected to operations management refer to product creation, development, production, and distribution. Other activities related to operations management include managing purchases, inventory control, quality control, storage, logistics and evaluations. One might consider that the center of this entire process relies on efficiency and effectiveness of the processes involved. Operations management has several planning criteria: controlling, leading, organizing, planning, maintaining, and performance measurement (Wikipedia, 2007)."

Abstract
The paper examines the UNIX Operating System (OS). Understanding computing without the utilization or knowledge of UNIX is very difficult for most people. The reason for this could be the fact that the various editions UNIX Operating System have a significant usage in almost every computer, irrespective of the computer's version. Its is also a fact that many of the computer's tasks can be done only with the assistance of the UNIX operating system. The paper explains why the UNIX operating system is so accessible and significant. It delves into the background of the system and the ideas behind it. The paper further analyzes the developments made in UNIX systems over the years, the key utilities and the present status of UNIX Operating Systems. The conclusion presents the future of the UNIX Operating System.
From the Paper
"UNIX is an operating system, which not only is extremely unique, but also had been the first of its kind because, unlike other programs at the time, all the computer need to do was operate the UNIX operating system and then the operating system would operate everything else, i.e. this special kind of program runs all the other related programs that the user needs to work with when he is using the computer. This kind of program or creation of such a program was not normality till and after the 1970s. In the computing industry back then, the trend was that an operating system was created by the owners of the industry for the implementation in a certain computer that was sold by the company itself. This made the computer act like a very limited machine while working on programs that did not work in concurrence with the operating system already in the computer. The inability of a variety of different programs to work on a single computer was also a handicap. The operating system, of course, was different from one type of computer to the other because of the different makers in the market. A good example to clarify this application is the Apple's Macintosh- operating system which has been an owner operating system for a large part of the system's use making the programs working on this structure unable to work on any other setup or operating system. Another example of such a system is the DEC's VMS. 4. UNIX is the most influential and successful open OS that can work on any kind of computer with its various editions. MS-DOS, a program partly formed by the UNIS OS is a good example of a non-owner (or open) OS (John 1998)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the increasing use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags has raised the possibility of using these around the household, in order to increase time management capacity and to obtain cost and expense reductions through better operational management. The writer identifies a series of household functions and situations where RFID tags can be used and evaluates the potential benefits that can be obtained from their usage. The paper proposes a business model that assimilates the household to a business organization that generates revenue through the household income, has different operations and operational challenges and has an output. The paper shows where RFID brings about better operational management.
Outline:
Abstract
Introduction
Literature Review
Proposed Business Model Description
Concept of RFID Usage in the Household
Household RFID Usage Benefits
Conclusions
From the Paper
"In terms of access, there are two main directions where the RFID usage is targeted: facilitating access for the inhabitants of the household and security measures, that is banning access to individuals who are not to enter the household.
"The access facilitation segment can be done with the implementation of RFID for the garage and entrance doors that can thus automatically open when the household members approach the house. On the other hand, RFI tags can also be implemented within the household, for automatic doors between the different rooms of the house which can open when the individuals pass by it.
"The access issue is greatly improved by RFI tags on the security segment. Here, potential thieves will not be able to open not only the area giving way to the property (entrance and garage doors), but also the doors between the rooms. This thus limits their capacity of theft."

"Operation Cornflakes", 2005.
This paper discusses "Operation Cornflakes" one of the worst and yet humorous covert operations ever undertaken by the United States Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in hopes of undermining Hitler during WWII.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in 1944, the OSS organized an elaborate plan based on the British outline, calling for a massive infiltration of Allied propaganda into the German postal system as a means of undermining German home front morale by degrading confidence in Adolph Hitler and creating a sense of defeatism inside Germany. The author points out that almost every single letter ever produced by the OSS was destroyed within days of their arrival in Germany. The paper relates that the real values of the operation were (1), after the fall of the Nazis to the Allied powers, a select few Nazi party members who had received the OSS letters used them to claim that they had really been anti-Nazi the whole time and (2), to this day, the forged OSS stamp is a rare collectible, which is widely sought after.
From the Paper
""Operation Cornflakes" was originally a propaganda operation against Nazi Germany that the British hoped would help them win World War II. The original plan involved the British using international mail to Germany from countries that remained neutral during the war. MI6 hired expert forgers to generate a series of cleverly faked stamps that were then applied to envelopes addressed to Germans from cover companies in those neutral countries. Everything appeared to be in working order at a quick glance. However, the stamps were actually parodies of real issues going on within Germany during the war. An example of this propaganda includes a portrait of Heinrich Himmler in place of Adolph Hitler on the stamp. This was supposed to show dissention among the ranks inside Nazi Germany."
