Abstract
This paper performs a SWOT analysis on Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and evaluates the results. The author finds that since the September 11 2001 attacks, airport security now costs four times what it did previously. With these rising costs, he finds that it is more important than ever for operations managers to stay abreast of their market positioning. They must constantly try to increase their revenues by attracting more passengers and increasing the number of flights. In order to do this, they must perform these SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats ) analyses to make better decisions based on solid facts.
From the Paper
"Successful airport management depends on several factors to remain competitive. First, the cost of supplies is on a continuous rise, as well as items such as fuel, utilities, and the cost of maintaining the planes. Airports are subject to several market risks as well, such as general economic conditions, events, which drop the number of passengers, and environmental factors that may cancel or delay flights. Airports are subject to increasing risk from ever-tightening EPA regulations and stiffer FAA regulations. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, airports were under incredible strain due to shaken consumer confidence in flying."

"AADAC reports in Developments Vol. 18 Issue 9 Cocaine that: "Over the last 10 years, AADAC has seen a gradual, steady rise in the proportion of clients who name cocaine as their primary drug of concern. In 1997-98, over 3,600 AADAC clients (11.1%) said cocaine was the drug they used most frequently during the previous year." (Developments, 1999) The AADAC reports that: "Cocaine is a fast-acting drug with effects of short duration. It has a half-time for elimination of about one hour (the body has lost half of it an hour after administration). While most drugs are broken down by the liver, cocaine is broken down in the blood. Breakdown by the liver happens gradually: only about 15% of the blood passes through the liver each time the heart beats, thus the remainder of the blood still carries the unmetabolized drug. In contrast, breakdown in the blood happens constantly. This means that cocaine is quickly converted to an inactive form." (Developments, 1999)"

The Mohicans, 2001.
This paper is an historical study of the Mohicans based on the film "The Last of the Mohicans" and a book called "Betrayals: Fort William Henry and the Massacre".

Abstract
This paper details the story of "The Massacre" that was held during a battle between the Britain and France's Indian allies at Fort William. The book "Betrayals: Fort William Henry and the Massacre" by Ian Steele, took a close look at the old stereotypes, balancing out and combining contradictory accounts to forge one coherent and accurate tale. The film "The Last of the Mohicans", directed by Michael Mann, paid intricate attention to such historical details as style, language, and muzzle-loader mechanics. The paper details the event in respect to these two works and analyzes this terrible tragedy.
From the Paper
"In 1757, the British outpost of Fort William surrendered to the French forces that had besieged it. Terms of surrender were granted that promised safe passage to the warriors and civilians living within the fort, and the British moved out. On the trek back to noncombatant territory, the surviving garrison was attacked by France?s Indian allies. The ?massacre? that followed was to go down in infamy, as wildly speculative and differing reports made their way back to the press. The episode was seen as an ultimate symbol for the perfidy of savage Indians and their treasonous European counterparts, and was perpetuated through endless literary retellings. Well over 300 years later, the story of this massacre is still being told. In 1990, a historical book Betrayals: Fort William Henry and the ?Massacre,? by Ian Steele, took a close look at the old stereotypes, balancing out and combining contradictory accounts to forge one coherent and accurate tale. Shortly thereafter, the legend was told once again, this time in full Technicolor. . The Last of the Mohicans, directed by Michael Mann, paid intricate attention to such historical details as style, language, and muzzle-loader mechanics. However, the film also took distinct liberties with the actual situations and reasons surrounding the Fort Williams massacre."

Abstract
This study examines racial/ethnic issues in relation to achievement motivation and perceptions of achievement motivation in groups of South African university students. The study asks if achievement motivation is significantly related to differences in students' racial/ethnic background. It also questions whether perceptions of other racial/ethnic groups' levels of achievement motivation are significantly related to differences in students' racial/ethnic background. It then asks if achievement motivation is significantly related to differences in where students attend school (Fort Hare or Western Cape) and whether perceptions of other racial/ethnic groups' levels of achievement motivation significantly related to differences in where students attend school (Fort Hare or Western Cape).

From the Paper
"The background of this study examination of achievement motivation as it relates to ethnic differences in groups of South African college students is really the history of South Africa and its ethnic diversity, tensions, and conflict. South Africa, located at the southern tip continent of Africa, has a population of 45.1 million people. It is slightly less than twice the size of Texas and boasts of high sweeping plateaus, towering mountains, deep valleys and beautiful beaches lining its long, fertile coast. Ethnically and racially diverse, South Africa is about 75.2 percent black, 8.6 percent Colored (mixed-race), 13.6 percent white, and 2.6 percent Indian. Most whites, coloreds and blacks (about 60 percent of each group) are Christians. However, there is a Hindu minority to which about 60 percent of the Indians belong; of the remaining groups, most are Muslims."

Abstract
A paper which investigates the steps taken by the authorities at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport to provide security for the more than 60 million people who pass through its doors each year. The paper shows procedures involved and the cost of this ongoing project.
From the Paper
"Although these regulations are stated as a requirement for the airlines, it is unlikely they can be accomplished without the assistance of individual airports. After all, airports provide the facilities through which passengers and bags must pass to get to the airlines. DFW is spending $2.3 million to hire consultants to develop a plan for accommodating the estimated 80 bomb detection machines needed to comply with this new regulation. Since a layered approach is needed to meet these new regulations, DFW must continue to work with the industry, the federal government and the airlines, if airport security is going to be strengthened and enhanced sufficiently to allay the fears of the flying
public".

Abstract
This paper discusses the author's views that the government can be, and mostly is, a bureaucratic organization that not only cannot save money efficiently, but wastes money on a daily basis. The author bases this statement on his 23 years of military service. It proposes a cost metrics for the training of warrant officers at the United States Army Signal Center, Fort Gordon, Georgia, and attempts to list the true cost of training warrant officers. It does this by taking all costs into account, such as the facilities, gas, water, electric, and salaries of the military personnel.
From the Paper
"Every military unit has a mission statement. This needs to be identified and measured. Any other activities done to support the mission should also be identified. There are lots of these, and many are usually hidden, or not realized. Managers must define metrics, collect data and then analyze the data. They must be truthful and not misleading. The better the documentation, the more visible and convincing the decision-making process becomes. The biggest problem is identifying and documenting the hidden costs. Sometimes accidentally and other times on purpose."

From the Paper
"The auteur theory developed by French film critics beginning in the 1950s is partly a convenient way of categorizing and analyzing films, collecting titles as the body of work of the director. More than this, though, the theory holds that it is the director more than anyone else who is responsible for the completed film, since he or she is the one who determines visual style and other matters in the course of production. The theory finds that the director expresses meaning through visual style and that analyzing the visual style of a given director reveals consistent thematic concerns, similarities in character development, and other repeated and recognizable signs of a single intelligence at work. At the same time, though, film remains a collaborative medium, and it would seem that directors would be influenced by their..."

Wilmington During The Civil War, 2002.
A study of the importance of the city of Wilmington, NC during the American Civil War.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the significance of the city of Wilmington, NC during the Civil War. The paper briefly mentions the economic factors behind the significance of this city but primarily discusses the role of Fort Fisher and how this fort made the city of Wilmington famous during the war years.
From the Paper
"During the civil war, some cities played a significant role in supporting the cause of their states. While the Union army was trying to capture all Southern states in a bid to stop them from declaring independence or withdrawing from the American Confederation, some cities played a major role in at least putting up strong resistance against the Union Army. One such city was that of Wilmington in North Carolina and the importance of this city lied in its ports. It is important to understand that ports and naval ships were the best way of transporting goods and weapons from one end to another and therefore attempts were made to cut off the route so that ships wouldn?t be able to enter or leave Wilmington port."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the historical events that led up to the American Civil War. Among the events discussed as part of the impetus to the war are the election of Abraham Lincoln to the Office of Presidency, the formation of the Confederate States of America, and the Confederate attempt to extend its sovereignty over forts belonging to the Union, in particular, Fort Sumter, and the subsequent attack on Fort Sumter.
From the Paper
"Sumter located offshore at that time was under construction on a man-made island being made from the granite of northern quarries. Forts Moultrie and Johnson, and Castle Pinckney, enveloped the island. Prior to South Carolina's creation on December 20, 1860, the Buchanan administration refused to support the small federal contingent housed at Fort Moultrie, and Major Robert Anderson, was ordered to defend the forts if attacked. Following December 20, Anderson's situation became further difficult. The people in general wanted the army to start fighting, but South Carolina sent commissioners to Washington to settle the transfer of the forts to the state, and requested immediate control of Fort Sumter. However, Anderson feared the situation was becoming increasingly unstable, especially since South Carolina had already occupied Sumter. In the evening of December 26, Anderson deployed his small force from Moultrie to the defensible Sumter."

"The expedition would eventually be called the Corps of Discovery, and would have between thirty and forty members in total. Jefferson himself selected the leader for the group, a captain named Meriwether Lewis. Lewis was allowed to select his own partner, and chose William Clark. An interesting fact about Clark is that although he was known by the other members of the expedition, as well as by many history books, as a captain, he was in fact only a Lieutenant, apparently because of delays in Army paperwork. Also on the mission was York, who was the Black slave of Clark. Later on the journey, they would be joined by a Native American woman names Sacagawea, who was of the Shoshone/Hidasta tribe."

"Brodie the Broadsword", 2005.

Abstract
This paper opens with a brief biographical profile of author and playwright Alan Richardson who is well known for his numerous publications on a wide variety of topics including: Gender issues and issues of race, colonialism as well as topics related to children. This paper examines the plot and characters in "Brodie the Broadsword" while discussing the author's unique style of writing. Richardson's play is set in an average Scottish community during the 16th century amid old castles and forts. This paper details the personality of the title character Brodie who, for the most part, has been wasting his life engaging in the trivial pursuits of looting and robbery. This paper cites the various scenes in the play which pay homage to Richardson's creative writing and comedic sense.
From the Paper
"The characters in 'Brodie the Broadsword' are all interesting and full of beans. Some of them are: Sir Archibald Brodie, who has been nicknamed 'the Broadsword', Sir Henry Milburn, the illustrious neighbor of Brodie Broadsword, Lady Kate, or rather, lady Catherine, the wife of Brodie, Ina, Lady Catherine's servant, Clarty Sim, the an-of arms of Brodie, Young Effie, another servant, Alison, the daughter of Brodie and Lady Catherine, Stephen Milburn, Sir Henry Milburn's son, and Kirsty Boyd, who is from the nearest village. As the play is set during the early sixteenth century, and close to the English border, which is where Brodie's castle is located, the language and the dress of the characters would be suited to the setting and the period. When Lady Kate starts off with making a very insightful comment about Brodie's deeds and misdeeds, by saying, "A fine mess Brodie's in this time", the audience gets a glimpse of the comedy that is yet to come during the course of the play."

From the Paper
"The Saudi Arabian healthcare system is a national health care system. This means that health care services are government provisioned and this is accomplished through a number of governmental agencies. There is an increasing need for private sector health care provision of health care services in Saudi Arabia. The government agency in charge of administering health care is the Ministry of Health, which provides primary health care services through providers. Services provided include preventative services, rehabilitative and curatives services. In a recent report published in the Record it is reported that the School of Medicine's Health Administration Program along with BJC HealthCare's International Healthcare Services "has launched an unique executive master's program for Saudi Arabian physicians and health-care ministry executives at the request of the Saudi Ministry of Health." (Miller, 2006) The report states that the program "was created specifically for 18 participants from the Riyadh-based King Fasad Medical City, a four-hospital system that is one of the largest medical complexes in Saudi Arabia." (Miller, 2006) According to Daniel K. Mueller, Ph.D, assistant vice-chancellor for international affairs: 'Health-care systems in the world are all changing, and the ministry sees the need to train executives in the basic principles of management, finance and organization to improve health care for the population of the King Fasad Medical City serves." (Miller, 2006) One of the lessons that this programs teaches "is the importance of enhancing healthcare by improving the processes hospitals use." (Miller, 2006)"

Peace Bridge, 2007.
The paper discusses the Peace bridge and looks at the proposal of a new additional bridge.
2,152 words (approx. 8.6 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 67.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that the Peace Bridge spans the Niagara River and links the cities of Fort Erie, Ontario and Buffalo, New York. The writer points out that this bridge is considered a critical link for cross-border commercial traffic with considerable economic significance for the region. The paper explains that the bridge was built in 1927, has three traffic lanes and sidewalks, and has been well-maintained so it is in excellent condition. The writer points out that the proposal to construct a new bridge that would cross the river is not due to damage to the existing bridge but to the limited capacity of the roadways on the bridge.
From the Paper
"Someone designed the highway, while no one designed the space under the bridge. Such extra spaces are often created with such large-scale projects. This space is not likely to be useful in the current project to add three lanes of traffic to the existing bridge, though a more useful design for this space could be included at the same time to improve the area."
"The current bridge is a 3,600-foot steel truss built in 1927. The bridge is made up of five arched spans crossing the Niagara River, with an added through-truss span crossing the Black Rock Canal on the American side. The bridge was built of tons of steelwork and concrete abutments to hold it. The bridge was built to relieve traffic on the International Railway Bridge erected in 1873. The construction had to overcome the swift river current in that area, running at about twelve miles per hour. It is hoped that an addition to the bridge can increase traffic by one-third."
