Abstract
This paper examines the consumer experience with the help of an example ? the Sharp microwave oven. Although the product is appealing at first, it falls short of expectation during the consumption period. Hence, Sharp should prioritize on improving consumer experience in the consumption period, since this is the time dimension when most consumers are dissatisfied. This paper provides suggestions for improving the consumption experience.

"Sharp Corporation is one of Japan?s oldest and leading manufacturers of electronic goods. Over, the years of the company?s existence, it has expanded globally, adapting to the pressures of global change. The company?s founder was Tokuji Hayakawa and was named the Hayakawa Electric Industries in 1912 (Timbrell & Tweedie 1998). Its first product was a successful mechanical pencil called ?Ever-Sharp?. After World War 2, Hayakawa increased its product line length, breadth and depth by introducing new products and models such as television, calculators and LCD technology. In 1970, the new chairman of the company, Akira Saeki, oversaw an important reorganization of the company intended to establish a new corporate identity and unify product development efforts (Mirabile 1990). Therefore, Hayakawa Electric Industries adopted the name Sharp Corporation. The company broadens its product line in the 1970s and continued expanding its operations worldwide."

"Microwave Ovens
In recent decades, the use of microwave ovens has become widespread. These devices apply the principles of dielectric heating. Molecules such as the water within food will generate heat when placed within a high-frequency electric field. Microwave ovens are thus used for cooking, thawing, and reheating. Despite their utility though, the ovens have also been associated with certain safety problems. Excessive radiation leakage, for example, represents a potential health hazard. However, such risks have been practically eliminated through adequate safety standards and good oven design.
The principles of dielectric heating were first applied to industrial uses during the late 1930s (2:401-402). Then during World War II the electronics company, Raytheon, began ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses Robert Frost's poem ?The Oven Bird,? which suggests that are no heroes and that ?Enough? can never be done and potential can never be fully realized. It looks at the opinion of three other poets on the same topic as represented in T. S. Elliot?s "The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock", Wallace Steven's "The Idea of Order in Key West" and "The Snows of Kilamanjaro" by Ernest Hemingway. It shows that the commonality of the three works is the premise that man is insufficient and the variance is the approach of the protagonists to this problematical knowledge.
From the Paper
"One the opposite end of the number line from Prufrock is Wallace Steven?s Key West woman. Where Prufrock slogs through life with a ?not me/who me?? attitude, the lady of the beach says ?me, me!? She struts along, making her own music, pridefully and tragically believing she can alone truly create. ?It was her voice that made the sky acutest at its vanishing. / She measured to the hour its solitude. /She was the single artificer of the world/In which she sang? (Stevens 1176). She can even compete with the forces of the universe and come out measuring up; why, she even causes the sea to become part of her, not vice versa: ?And when she sang, the sea, /Whatever self it had, became the self/That was her song, for she was the maker? (1177)."

"SOIL MOISTURE AND ITS INFERENCE VIA REMOTE SENSING
INTRODUCTION
There is wide interest for use of satellites to measure environmental factors globally--with respect to alleged global warming and to address feeding the world. Among the most fundamental bases of agriculture is the water content of soil during crop growth. So, inference of soil moisture through remote sensing techniques has been researched for two decades.
SOIL MOISTURE
Soil moisture is water held--Marshall uses "retention" (16:7)--within earthen pore spaces. Ogrosky and Mockus tabulated "Moisture Holding Capacities," from 0.4 in./ft. of soil for sand to 2.00-3.00 in./ft. for peats (18:21-83). These are maximum amounts soils will retain; often soils are drier than this."

Abstract
This paper explains that WiMAX specializes in point-to-multi-point broadband wireless access corresponding to the fixed wireless version, which is currently being deployed, and the mobile version, which is in varying stages of development and deployment. The author points out that WiMAX proposes challenges to providers of DSL and cable-modem service because its design can accommodate varying ways to transmit data including voice over internet protocol (VoIP). The paper concludes that, if WiMAX continues to find viable needs and fills them, it will enable faster than average speeds, in infinite locations. The paper includes a table and many embedded quotations.

From the Paper
"Fixed wireless application began back in time with the microwave radio, and has been universally utilized "since the 1940s as a wireless alternative to (wired) private line services." Grabianowski and Brain relate the historical concept of WiMAX in basic terms with the scenario of two computers utilizing "walkie-talkie technology," with each computer being equipped with a walkie-talkie and being capable of transmitting and receiving. Each computer would also be able to "its binary 1s and 0s into two different beeps that the walkie-talkie could transmit and receive and convert back and forth between beeps and 1s/0s."'

Abstract
This paper compares the use of the theme of man's relationship to nature in poet Robert Frost's works "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening", "Never Again Would Bird's Song Be the Same" and "The Oven Bird". The paper argues that the poet frequently used images of nature in order to provide a symbolic reference for his message. All three poems indicate a dichotomy between untouched nature and the human influence, as well as separation from the natural world. The paper points out that rapid technological developments during Frost's lifetime caused him great concern. The paper concludes that, according to the poems discussed here, redemption is only possible by a reconnection to nature.
From the Paper
"Even in this joyous description, the poem is filled with regret. The reader is assumed to know the story of Eve, the fall, and the subsequent banishment from the garden even before reaching the end of the poem. The description of joy itself is therefore also filled with a sense of regret and loss. Regardless of the loss experienced, however, the sense of bittersweet memory remains. The birds are forever influenced by the contact they had with Eve. They regret her loss, and mourn for her, and therefore hold on to her essence in perhaps the vain hope that she might return some day."

Abstract
The paper should look at both pros and cons of satellite TV. The television signals transmitted by a satellite are quite different from the television or radio signals that are broadcast over the air. Satellite TV is transmitted by microwaves. Microwaves don't behave like the lower frequency radio waves of off-air television or radio, which can bounce off obstructions, clouds, and the ground. Microwaves are strictly line of sight. In order for a satellite dish to receive a signal, there can be no obstruction between the transmitting satellite and the receiving satellite dish.

Abstract
This paper relates that, despite the variety of social security and welfare programs were introduced to support the poorer and unemployed population, poverty persisted in the affluent society of the U.S. The author points out that poverty in America has a diverse view from the rest of the world as indicated by statistics of U.S. Department of Commerce (2001), which indicated that a typical American defined as poor by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a stove, a clothes washer and dryer and a microwave, far from the popular images of dire poverty conveyed by the press, liberal activists and politicians. The paper concludes that the Social Security is the U.S. government's greatest success story; by creating more jobs, improving educational facilities, eliminating corruption and by making optimum utilization of social security programs, the U.S. can virtually eliminate remaining poverty from the American society.

Table 1: Ownership of Property and Consumer Goods among Poor Family-Units
From the Paper
"The NPR, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government conducted a joint survey, which revealed that Americans aren't thinking a lot about the poor these days. However, when they are asked about it directly, most Americans think that poverty is still a problem in this country, even in these generally prosperous times. In fact, a majority of Americans think poverty is not just a problem but a big problem. But they define it in a different way, 64% Americans say that a family of f our with an income of $20,000 is poor, whereas 42% say that a family of four earning $25,000 is poor. It shows great political divisions in the country on the subject of poverty."

»

Abstract
During the twelve years of the Nazi reign, nearly 50,000 men were convicted of the crime of homosexuality. This paper looks at how representations of journalists and historians of the homosexual experience during the Holocaust are compromised by the small number of accounts available in the research, and by the oppression faced by autobiographical reporters. It discusses how by design, Hitler had attempted to squelch any and all threats to his ideology, and in doing so, he succeeded in eradicating the voices of thousands of gay men and women who silently died in the ovens, their harrowing stories taken to their graves.
From the Paper
"When Adolph Hitler ascended to power in 1933, Germany was experiencing a period of severe economic hardship. Charismatically, and very likely operating with a delusional mind, he pledged the downtrodden German people that his regime would create a wondrous future by implementing a grandiose strategy in which a master German race would rise up to dominate Europe and beyond. Hitler's plan to create such a superior race of Aryans required him to exterminate any person who posed a physical, psychological, philosophical or political threat by resisting rigid adherence to his Fascist blueprint of a pure, superior German race. Because the Aryan population was highly constituted with blonde haired, blue-eyed, pale-skinned Caucasians, Hitler became obsessed with a pathological compulsion to exterminate all people who did not fit his prototype of the new master race.

Starbucks Coffee, Japan, 2005.
This paper discusses the international marketing strategy of Starbucks in Japan.
950 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 2 sources, APA, AU$ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Starbucks' currently mixed success in Japan is evidence that attempting to replicate an American fast food franchise success story, without adapting to local tastes and needs, is a recipe for disaster. The author points out that, relying upon the Japanese taste for newness and Americana, Starbucks quickly found itself running up against (1) Japan's notoriously fad driven economy, (2) Japanese cultural differences such as smoking and (3) not providing enough tea alternatives. The paper relates that with so many Japanese people eating out, Starbucks Japan had many marketing problems relating to its food quality, in terms of freshness and selection; unlike in the U.S., ovens had to be installed in all stores to improve the freshness of its food offerings.
From the Paper
"Initially, it seemed that Starbucks had many advantages in adapting its "circular, green-and-black logo" to Japan. One external advantage enjoyed by Starbucks, an advantage integral to the Japanese culture, was the Japanese peoples' food buying habits. For instance, although it is an industrialized country, supermarkets are less common in Japan than they are in the United States. Many people shop and eat habitually in local neighborhood stores and eateries in Japan because it is impractical to drive to a large supermarket. Patronizing coffee and noodle shops is an ingrained part of local culture."

Abstract
This paper describes people working in six locations: a supermarket, a "fast-food" restaurant, a newsstand, a factory, a car wash, and a pizza parlor. The author illustrates a family-owned pizza parlor, centered around a large open pizza oven, where the manger and chef arrive at work very early in the morning; the atmosphere is busy and cheerful, with waiters calling in orders to the chef, who is continually busy making pizza bases and piling on an array of toppings. In the supermarket, the employees most seen by the public are the employees who work at the register; their day is a continual routine, with one customer after another, and then stolen moments of gossip and chatting between the onslaught of products to be rung up.

From the Paper
"People working in the fast-food industry by necessity have a sunny disposition and project themselves as healthy and energetic individuals. An imperative is evident cleanliness in their attire and personal hygiene, especially ensuring that their hands are perfectly clean if food is handled. While preparing fast-food dishes requires pre-determined culinary skills, employees are also attentive to maintaining a strict code of cleanliness throughout the process from preparation to delivery of end product."

Power Line Networking, 2006.
This paper discusses power line networking, a method of networking computers using electrical wiring rather than phone jacks or other mediums.
1,725 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 7 sources, MLA, AU$ 80.95
»

Abstract
This paper explains that power line networking has many advantages but a main advantage is that it does not require the use of any additional wiring; just plug the computers and devices into a power outlet and the network is formed, essentially turning your power outlets into network ports and providing instant networking. The author points out that the technology has been around since the 1950s but has been on the fringes because of lack of interoperability, low quality of service and other problems; however, now, with definite standards and specifications being applied and price cuts, the technology is gaining ground. The paper relates that, in the future, this technology will be used in every "smart home", which uses computers to run everyday devices like microwaves, washing machines and watering system that can be started remotely by using a cell phone or PDA.

From the Paper
"Powerline technologies are already in use globally. Issues such as power voltages in different countries (110V / 220 V) come into play at this level. PowerPacket technology works independent of voltage and current frequencies so it is usable almost anywhere, passport on the other had is mostly useful in the U.S for now or countries using 110V. Also many countries with higher voltages use the three pin plug instead in the 2 pin plug used in the US so these lead to differences in powerline devices for different countries."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) was developed to meet the needs of mobile computer users who desire to be connected irrespective of their positions, such as in small mobile and home offices. The author points out that the wide acceptability of Wireless LAN, due to its benefits of flexibility, scalability, and mobility, necessitates the standardization of the devices, thus ensuring compatibility and reliability among all the manufacturers and users. The paper relates that the range and connectivity of the Wireless Network depends on the strength of RF signal, which is adversely affected by complicated factors like building structure, room layout, wall construction, and RF-emitting devices like microwaves.
From the Paper
"It is established as per the peer-to-peer architecture. The Distribution System enables two or more BSSs to be interconnected with the help of the access points, which increases the network coverage. The access points bridges the gap between the BSS and DS and data moves through them. The Extended Services Set (ESS) is created with the creation of large and complex networks using BSS and DS. The entire network under the ESS operates as an independent basic service set to the Logical Link Control Layer. The benefits of the IEEE 802.11 extended with the use of a portal to integrate logically between the wired LAN and IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN. The portal also is used as a gateway to access to the Distribution System. The Portal is used to bridge the gap between Wired LANs with Wireless LANs. The standard IEEE 802.11 has specified the services that the distribution system should support, which in consonance with the BSS and DS, may be station services and distribution system services."

Advertising for Children, 2007.
This paper examines the impact of food advertising on children.
1,604 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, AU$ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the prevalence of childhood obesity and related health issues have convinced many legislators and health professionals that food advertising to children is at least partly to blame. The paper relates that children view more commercials aimed at getting them to choose fast food, unhealthy food and sweet foods than nutritious and healthy food. This is apparent in current ads for chocolate milk, cookies, microwavable french fries and a host of other foods that are tantalizing to children. The paper demonstrates how the advertising industry seeks to make money for their clients, not protect consumers, and until that mentality changes, Americans and their children will continue to be bombarded with advertising that is geared to sell hamburgers rather than encourage a new generation of healthy eaters.
From the Paper
"Throughout the past two decades, scientists and researchers have conducted many studies on children's advertising. They found the four most advertised items were toys, cereal, candy, and fast food (Gunter, Oates & Blades 15). A 1999 study found that out of 350 Saturday morning television advertisements, two-thirds were for food children would be attracted to, and the most common was some type of sugary cereal product (Gunter, Oates & Blades 17). Another 1997 study on children and food advertising found "The typical child sees 170 McDonald advertisements on television per year. In 1997, more advertising money $1.4 billion was spent on commercials for food and food products than any other product type" (Johnson, and Young 276). Food is big business, and so is appealing to the tastes of American children."
