Abstract
This paper describes the business logic involved in choosing the correct delivery vehicle for a given product. Business managers must consider the specific goods being carried in order to choose the right type and size of vehicle. The paper also examines the other factors that enter the decision: the size of the fleet, the region in which the company operates, the financial health of the company, and a variety of other similar factors.
From the Paper
"Acquiring the best delivery vehicle for a specific application is a dynamic decision and must include a thorough investigation into the types of vehicles that work best, the cost and terms of the financing or lease, as well as how it will accommodate the drivers as well as consideration of the type of goods that is to be carried and whether delivery will involve the crossing of state or international borders. This paper examines some of the basic parameters involved when considering how to make the best business decision in acquiring the right delivery vehicle."

Abstract
This paper explains that three factors led to the development of the Integrated Delivery Systems (IDS) model: A greater interplay between all the players in health care delivery, increased influence of business health groups, and the movement away from "bean counting" to risk management, early detection, and demand prevention. The author points out that Integrated Delivery Systems, no matter their specifics, are primarily for one purpose: To connect users to the information they need to do their job in the health care delivery system as quickly as possible. The paper stresses that the IDS is the best model for leaping the chasm between the ideal medical world of the clinical sector of health care and the ideal financial world of the administrative and operational sector of health care.

From the Paper
"Shortly after these changes began, ?inclusive? delivery models got underway, with early ones being physician-hospital organizations (PHOs) and integrated delivery networks (IDNs); arguably the coexistence of these led to the development of IDSs capable of operating within the four structures another researcher had identified, by 1996, as the evolving types of IDSs. These four models were HMOs, joint ventures such as Columbia/HCA, federations of community hospitals and a ?hub and spoke? arrangement bring large medical centers and nearby community hospitals into sync."

Abstract
In this article the writer reviews the scholarly article, "Maternal Mortality and Severe Morbidity Associated with Low-risk Planned Cesarean Delivery versus Planned Vaginal Delivery at Term", about the relative dangers of cesarean section versus vaginal delivery for women. The paper looks at the purpose of the study and summarizes the results. The writer then describes its strengths and weaknesses and outlines how such findings should be utilized in the future. In addition, two key questions that should guide future investigation are enumerated.
Outline:
Abstract
Purpose of the study
Results of the study
Strengths of the study
Weaknesses of the study
How to use these findings in practice
Two questions for future research
From the Paper
"The strengths of the study lie in the fact that few studies this writer has reviewed have been more comprehensive. To wit, the planned cesarean group comprised 46,766 women; for the planned vaginal delivery group, the figure was 2,292,420. Every bit as importantly, the study is longitudinal in nature. Specifically, the study encompasses a 14-year period - a length of time seemingly sufficient to ensure that curious aberrations or anomalies in particular years did not cause fundamental distortions in the findings of the study. Additionally, to ensure the validity of the data findings, the researchers employed adjusted odds ratio and confidence intervals; as well, the authors used multivariate analysis to control for "confounding variables" such as age, year of delivery, and elderly primigravidity - among other factors."

Leasing vs Buying, 2002.
A look at the pros and cons of leasing vs. buying.

Abstract
This study will take a look at this question from the perspective of the lessor and the lessee. In the final analysis, it will be argued that the decision to lease or purchase is largely dependent on the circumstances of the lessee. As such, there are lessons to be learned from the role of leasing in organizational finance. From the experience of firms, it can be concluded that smaller firms lease so that they can finance their growth, or simply allow them to remain solvent. For larger companies, however, leasing is generally a calculated decision used by sophisticated financial managers to minimize their after-tax cost of capital. Applied to automobile financing, some people will lease because they have no other choice; i.e., they cannot afford to purchase.

The Energy Service and Delivery Industry, 2005.
This paper discusses government intervention in providing energy services and delivery to the public through private enterprise.

Abstract
This paper explains that the very nature of electricity is that it cannot be stored, which does not complement the economic laws of supply and demand; therefore, without government intervention, it is unsure if the industry would adapt to a free market system by providing enough energy to meet affordability public demand but rather divert to monopolistic behavior. The author points out that the federal government intervenes through the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC); the Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) assists federal agencies and energy managers by providing services in the areas of financing, technical assistance, outreach and policy and local governments regulate the taking of property through eminent domain, pollution control and various local ordinances.This paper relates that, although government continues in the direction of deregulating the industry, the regulatory reporting requirements have created numerous jobs in the areas of accounting, reporting, and compliance; computer systems, applications, and products in data processing (SAP) help to maximize resources and assist greatly in data management and government reporting compliance.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"As the demand for energy grew to mass proportion, it was necessary for governments to regulate the industry to prevent harmful monopolistic practices, allowing for public utility companies to service restricted geographic territories to best serve their customers. Many utility companies today generate a minimal amount of electricity and depend on independent system operators (ISO) who act as independent agencies to manage the flow of electricity along the long-distance, high-voltage power lines that make up the bulk of area's transmissions systems. These ISOs safeguard the reliable delivery of electricity.
Federal, state and regional governments collaborate in controlling electricity prices and the supply of electricity because a price or demand increase in one regional area affects electricity costs and supply of nearby regional areas. One region's energy crisis can have a spill over effect into other states and may spread across the country. This became apparent in California when there was not enough supply to meet the demand during California's deregulation of public utilities as California turned to neighboring regional areas to purchase additional power."

Abstract
This paper discusses in detail the safety of the Suburban Utility Vehicle (or SUV). The author uses the science of physics and engineering and the relationship between a car?s relative mass and center of gravity to understand to understand the problems. The author states that increasing the track width is the only way to make the vehicles more stable but that may modify the appearance of the car.
From the Paper
"What can be done to remedy these concerns over the Wrangler?s design? To answer this question, one must do more than simply understand more about the safety features of this particular vehicle or of SUVs in general. One must turn to the science of physics and engineering and the relationship between a car?s relative mass and center of gravity to understand what the risks are for each vehicle and how best to potentially remedy those risk. Or, to put the question in another way, if Einstein were an auto mechanic, what type of Jeep Wrangler would he like to be riding in? How might he modify the vehicle?s design?"

Abstract
This paper examines the necessity and results of the Motor Vehicle Air Pollution Control Act of 1965. It looks at the affluent American culture of the 1960s that created emission control regulations, which generally requires that auto exhaust gases have to be cleaner than ambient air. The paper argues both sides of the age-old debate of the environment versus economics.
From the Paper
"Since World War II, the growth of industrialization skyrocketed. The industrialization growth caused more and more environmental problems. In 1952, a London ?fog? killed three thousand (3,000) people in a few days. (Sullivan, p.12) Los Angeles smoke and fog or smog was already famous among the American people during that time. Attention needed to be paid to the growing environmental problems."

Abstract
This paper explains that the improvement of health care programs in the medical industry has spread to home health care delivery in which the physician makes home visits. The author defines quality assessment as the development of data sources and analysis of information generated from patients, which reviews their perception and expectation of quality. The paper concludes with an interview of a physician working in a home care agency who believes that, ever since the implementation of the QA/PI policies, his organization has started to pay close attention to quality performance issues, such as physicians' abilities to meet patient expectations and demands.
From the Paper
"There are gatekeepers to the implementation of QA/PI programs. These include the Division Home Health QM Program, Directors Committee, Continuing Care Leaders and Quality Service Leaders, Service Area and Local Agency. These controllers are responsible for the planning of the QA/PI activities into the current systems of organizations that are responsible for home health care delivery. They also are responsible for identifying changing indicators from the consumer perspectives and conducting audit of the agency involved in QA/PI to regular and accredit credible organizations who have maintain their standards according to the AHRQ. Similarly, they are involved in setting criteria for divisional directors of home care quality improvement programs."

"In 1982, a disease known as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS, was officially recognized in the United States (Shi & Singh, 2004). Since that time, the disease has become a world-wide epidemic, with more than 830,000 cases reported in the U.S. (National Institute of Health (NIH), 2003). The disease, caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), has infected scores of people as well, with over 38 million people living with the virus worldwide in 2003. Since the first diagnosis of AIDS in 1982, over 20 million people have died worldwide (UNAIDS, 2004)."
