Desmear and electroless plating
Desmear and electroless plating Introduction Printed circuit board is used in the electronic manufacturing for mechanical and electrical support. It is electronically connects the electric components using conductive traces, carved from copper covered onto a non-conductive material. Printed circuit board are usually include copper and copper mixture materials that are coated to provide good mechanical and good conductivity with other devices in the assembly. Printed circuits board are used in all electronic equipments such as computer and mobile phones and TV and communications equipment and satellite as well as in the control of gadgets in the factories, companies and other uses of the innumerable à à t thà à µ mà à ¾mà à µnt thà à µrà à µ iÃââ⬠¢ à ° Ãââ⬠¢trà à ¾ng inÃâà rà à µÃ °Ãââ⬠¢Ã à µ in thà à µ dà à µÃââ⬠¢irà à µ fà à ¾r jà à ¾int bà à µnding à °nd jà à ¾int bà à µnding-rigid and light à à à à ¡BÃââ⬠¢ duà à µ tà à ¾ Ãâà à à µrtà °in mà °rkà à µt Ãââ⬠¢Ã à µÃâà tà à ¾rÃââ⬠¢.

(à â⠬ ¦Ãâà hlà à µÃââ⬠¢ingà à µr, 2002, 82) PCB are inexpensive, and can be highly reliable. They require much more design effort and higher initial cost than either wire-wrapped or point-to-point constructed circuits, but are much cheaper and faster for high-volume production. Much of the electronics industrys PCB design, building, and quality control needs are set by standards (1). In 1885 before the appearance of electric circuit board and point to point production, plate of carton was used to connect the electric components with wires and it was heavy and has big volume. Before printed circuits point-to-point production was used for primary sample or small production runs wire. Circuit boards were produced in the mid-1930, by Austrian inventor Paul Eisler. During World War II the United States produced them on a huge range for use in war radios. During this period the invention remained use in the military part, and until the end of the war it became available for commercial use. Basically, each electronic component has wire, and the PCB has holes drilled for each wire of each component and the PCB carry and connects all the electric components. Printed circuit boards have copper tracks connecting the holes where the components are placed. They are designed specially for each circuit and make structure very easy. The coating on the surface of a circuit board are usually copper, created either by putting single lines mechanically, or by coating the all board in copper and remove away excess. The method of assembly is called through-hole formation. In modern circuit board production, it uses soldered in place on the board with very little hassle., this process is usually be done by putting the cool solder mixture, and baking the entire board to dissolve the components in place. Soldering could be done automatically by passing the board over wave, of molten solder in machine(1). In previous period to the creation of surface-mount technology was in the mid-1960s, all circuit boards used wire to attach components to the board. But With the removing the wires from circuit boards, circuit boards have become lighter and more efficient to produce. Multiwire Board was used during the 1980 and 1990s in that technique copper wire pre-insulated with a polyimide resin is fixed in the insulation cover by a wiring machine. Multiwire Board allows through wiring so that the number of wires be in one layer significantly increases, and consequently an high-density board can be manufactured with a smaller number of layers than an ordinary printed wire boards. In addition, as Multiwire Board uses copper wire of a uniform diameter, it is superior in various electric characteristics such as providing stable characteristic impedance. Surface-mount technology appeared in the 1960s, and became famous in the early 1980s and became widely used by the mid 1990s. Components were mechanically redesigned to have small metal tabs or end caps that could be soldered directly on to the PCB surface. Components became much smaller and component placement on both sides of the board became more common than with through-hole mounting, allowing much higher circuit densities. Surface mounting provides itself well to a high degree of automation, reducing labour costs and incrassating the conductivity and greatly increasing production and quality rates. Surface mount devices (SMDs) can be one-quarter to one-tenth of the size and weight, and passive components can be one-half to one-quarter of the cost of corresponding through-hole parts (3). The advantages of Surface mount technology are: Smaller components. Smallest is currently 0.5 x 0.25 mm. Has higher number of components and more connections per component. Fewer holes should be drilled through abrasive boards. Easy automated assembly. Small mistakes in component placement are corrected automatically (the surface tension of the molten solder pulls the component into alignment with the solder pads). Components can be putted on both sides of the circuit board. Lower resistance at the connection. Good mechanical performance under shake and vibration conditions. SMT parts generally cost less than through-hole parts. Fewer unwanted RF signal effects in SMT parts when compared to leaded parts, yielding better predictability of component characteristics. Faster assembly. Some placement machines are capable of placing more than 50,000 components per hour. And there are some Disadvantages Thermal capacity of the heat generator results in slow reaction whereby thermal profiles can be distorted. Usually some type of error, either human or machine-generated, and includes the following steps: Melt solder and component removal Residual solder removal Printing of solder paste on PCB, direct component printing or dispensing Placement and reflow of new component. Over the past few year, electronic products, and especially those which fall within the category of Consumer Electronics have been significantly reduced in physical size and weight. Products such as cellular telephones, lap-top computers, pagers, camcorders, have been reduced by as much as3/4 of their original introductory size and weight. The most significant contributing factor to this reduction has been the inclusion of fine pitch, Surface Mount (SM) components. The larger, thicker and heavier leaded Through-Hole (TH) packages. The Surface Mount (SM) was developed to give the customer with increased component density and performance over the larger Dual-Inline-Package (DIP). The SM also provides the same high consistency. The Chip Scale (CSP) was developed to provide the customer with an additional increase in component performance and density over the SM . The CSP also provides the same high reliability as the DIP and SM package Components which are used in integrated circuits (chips), resistors, and capacitors can be soldered to the surface of the board or more commonly, attached by inserting their connecting pins or wires into holes drilled in the board. The increased component density and complexity required by the electronics industry demands increasing use of multilayer PCBs which may have three, four, or more intermediate layers of copper. Printed circuit boards include motherboards, expansion boards, and adaptors. Epoxy polymers are regularly used for electric circuit board manufacturing purposes, especially for built up layers and micro-vias in modern printed circuit boards. The sticking together of the plated metal layers to this polymer surface is primary importance for the consistency of the internal connection. Chemical treatment of the polymer surface changes the chemical and physical nature of the polymer. These results in specific groups of the polymer chain present on the surface and changes the roughness of the polymer layer. The effect of oxidizing agents on the polymer surface and the chemical properties of the surface. (4). Conducting layers are typically made of thin copper foil. Isolating layers are usually laminated together with epoxy resin. The board is usually coated with a solder cover that is green in color. Other colors that are normally available are blue, and red (2). A number of additional technologies may be applied to circuit boards for specialized uses: Circuit boards, for example, are designed to be slightly flexible, allowing the circuit board to be placed in positions which would not otherwise be practical, or to be used in wire systems. Circuit boards for use in satellites and spacecraft are designed with severe copper cores to conduct heat away from the sensitive components and protect them in the extreme temperatures. Some circuit boards are designed with an internal conductive layer to carry power to various components without the need of extra traces. Publications have documented the plating of nanoparticales of Cu (Copper plating) or Au on flexible polyimide ( Epoxy) by electroplating Copper plating is the process in which a coating of copper is deposited on the item to be plated by using an electric current. Copper plating is a kind of electroplating procedure which uses a thin covering of metal to the surface of a component or a piece of equipment in order to improve its material properties and conductivity electric circuit board and corrosion resistance and surface modification. Copper plating has an important use in another industries such as automotive, furniture, aerospace and ceramics. Important characteristics of the copper plating process involve the type of process, the copper plating solution and power consumption(5). Some important parameters must be take during copper plating: Kind of copper plating How much necessary capacity of the copper plating system How much power will spending during the copper plating process. The electroless copper platting process involves of four basic operations: cleaning, activation, acceleration, and deposition. Useful features of copper plating: Supply good basecoat for nickel and chromium. Increase the conductivity and reduce the cost of production Supply excellent electrical conductivity properties for applications such as electronics and telecommunications. Can be use as a mask in surface hardening procedures. Provide good lubrication in metal forming operations. Makes jewels look good. Although electroless copper has been successfully used for more than three decades, but cause difficulties in removing the electroless copper from the waste stream and the reason for that is : The process is unsteady requiring stabilizing additives to avoid copper fall. Environmentally is not good produces complex agents, such as EDTA The large number of process needs high water consumption. The electroless copper method has considerable percentage of water volume used. water use is high due to the essential rinsing required between nearly all of the process steps. Copper is found into the wastewater stream due to pull out from the cleaner conditioner, accelerator, and deposition baths process. Much of this copper is complexed with EDTA and needs special waste treatment considerations and that is not good for environmental. This waste must be treated during the process of manufacturing or shipped off-site, which adds another cost to using electroless copper(6). Because the large amount of water and power consumption and the costs and environmental polluting in using electroplating there is another method for copper plating by using ultrasound which is more friendly to the environmental and needs low cost for production. Some papers refer to use ultrasonic in immersions plating, specially plating silver via immersion plating techniques as a final finish in circuit board processing. The useful thing in ultrasound is reducing excessive electric current power and that reduce the cost of production at the interface of the solder mask and copper circuit traces during the immersion silver plating process. Ultrasonics also used in cleaning printed circuit boards before plating. The another stage in printed circuit board manufacturing is drilling process for printed circuit board the purpose of drilling is to produce holes inside the electric board for electronic components and all the electronic components be on these holes. Holes are drilled through the cover so that component can be inserted and then fixed firmly in place. There are generally two types of components that are attachable to the circuit board such as resistors, transistors, which are attached to the circuit board by putting each of the legs of components through a hole in the board. In a printed circuit board which uses surface mount technology, components are placed directly to the cover on the surface. Each set hole in the printed circuit board is planned to receive a exacting component. Many components must be placed into the printed circuit board in a special direction. The simplest printed circuit boards, wires must be printed on more than one surface of fiberglass to let all the component interconnections. Each surface containing printed wires is called a layer or film. Simple printed circuit board which requires only two layers, only one piece of fiberglass is required because wires can be printed on each sides. Some printed circuit board has several layers, individual circuit boards are manufactured individually and then coated together to produce one multi layer circuit board. To connect wires on two or more layers small holes called vias are drilled through the wires and fiberglass board at the point where the wires on the different layers cross. The interior surface of these holes is coated with metal so that electric current can flow through the vias. Some more complex computer circuit boards have more than 20 layers. The printed circuit board has green colour because presence of thin sheets of green plastic on the both sides and without that the printed circuit board will appears in pale yellow colour. Called solder masks, these sheets cover all metal other than the component covers and holes. Electric circuit components are manufactured with covered metal pins which are used to fix them to the printed circuit board both mechanically and electrically so electric current can pass between them. The soldering process, which provides mechanical bond and a very good electrical connection, is used to connect the components to the printed circuit board. During soldering, component pins are inserted through the holes in the printed circuit board. A multilayer printed circuit board which can be interlayer connection with low resistance. The multilayer printed circuit board have a conductive design on one face and without connection hole on the other face, for applying the conductive design to outside; a second substrate having a conductive design formed on a face opposed to the other face of first substrate and a conductive bump on the conductive design integrally. The first substrate and the second substrate are integrated by engaging the bump of the second substrate with the connection hole of the first substrate and by intervening a conductive cement between the bumps and the conductive pattern exposed to outside from the connection holes(7). Some papers refer to use laser drilling to create holes during the manufacturing process for printed circuit board and that is also possible with controlled drilling by using computer program software or by pre-drilling the individual sheets of the printed circuit board before production, in order to produce holes which connect only some of the copper covers, rather than let them to go through the all board. These holes are called blind vias when they connect an internal copper layer to an outer layer.

Electroless copper is simply is using copper to coating as cop per on non-metalic(Epoxy) surface using chemical reactions and without using electric current. . It was used to make non-metallic surface conductive or has poor conductivity and that will provide electrical connection to the devices. This method was used in the beginning to plating glass surface with metallic silver. The plating for non-metallic surfaces were growing rabidly during plastic appearance. The plastic was used after that as non-metallic surface (Epoxy). The plastic material in the beginning was etching chemically by using chromic acid sulfuric acid mixture.

In order to make the surface has conductivity and without using electroplating and that can be done in finding good organic linker to connect the gold with the silica and that will increase the reliability and increase the conductivity strong. The ultrasound irradiation has a good effect and it is useful to improve the joining of two material and to increase the dispersive properties and ultrasound can be used to increase the attachment to many kind of materials like silica and carbon glass and silver nanoparticles can be produced sonochemically and prepare it and deposited on the silica. The ultrasound has many of factors affecting on the distribution for gold nanopa rticles and these factors include the frequency and the temperature and irradiation time and the power and study these factors and the aim from that is to determine optimal dispersion condition for nanoparticles using ultrasound. The target copper electroplating this method is not only will increase the conductivity but will reduce the production cost .

Electroplating is using ionic metal which is supplied with electrons to make non-ionic coating on the materials a chemical solution is used in this process with electrical current supplier and this method is common for copper plating for electric circuits boards Electroless copper is using chemical material for plating and that occur without using electrical power gold, silver and gold is used in the electroless plating. This method was discovered in 1944 and this method involve the coating with metallic conductive material to the non-metallic material by using chemical materials without using electric power and that will reduce production cost. Electroplating was used for non-metallic material such as plastics (Epoxy) which are used in the printed circuits boards Dà à µÃââ⬠¢mà à µÃ °r Desmear is the process which is used to remove smeared epoxy-resin and this process involves three steps (Solvent swell, Permanganate and nutulaizer) and that is important to ensure electrical conductivity for the layer after deposition process. Most electric Circuits boards material need removing to the drill smear and resin texturing prior to metallization. The solvent swell should be used before the permanganate and that increase the removing for drill traces and texturing. Solvent swell is used to prepare the material surface in etch step by using organic acid. Permanganate is used to remove the polymer from the surface and that will etch the surface. Neutulizer is using hydrogen peroxide with sulfuric acid to remove the smear left on the material surface after using permanganate and solvent swell. à à ¡hà à µmiÃââ⬠¢try à à ¾f Dà à µÃââ⬠¢mà à µÃ °r à à là °ting Desmear process includs chemical reaction which are oxidation reactions by using alkaline permanganate ( Potassium or sodium) and this step called solvent swell. Alkaline permanganate is highly oxidizing medium. In the oxidation process for permanganate the permanganate reduced to manganate and manganate and then react with water to produce insoluble manganese dioxide in the reaction below: (Deckert, 1984) MnO4- + 2H2O + 3e- ââ â MnO2 + 4OH- In the neutralization process includes removing the surface to ensure that all manganese dioxide are removed from the board surface and through holes. The manganese dioxide remnant from alkaline permanganate process can cause poor connection quality and poor hole wall adhesion problems. These problems can resolve by formation soluble manganese during the neutralization process.

The system of slavery and resulting
The system of slavery and resulting racial prejudice evoked negative reaction from many Americans. Their views came into conflict with the perception of slave labor as `normal` and economically sound part of everyday life prevalent in the mainstream community. some of them resorted to peaceful means for propaganda of their worldview like Harriet Beecher Stowe; others like Nat Turner initiated armed struggle to overthrow the hateful system.Nat Turnerââ¬â¢s rebellion continues to evoke a mixed response, depending supposedly on the race of the evaluator and position on racial issues. On the one hand, Nat Turner was definitely a man of great leadership skills, able to motivate many people to fight against inhuman conditions of the Southern plantations.On the other, he is known to have ordered the murder of al white people including children and women, and the list of the rebellionââ¬â¢s casualties includes many people whose contribution to exploitation was but marginal.Similarly qu estionable are the methods of guerrilla warfare used by John Brown to liberate the slaves. This story demonstrates that centuries after, America continues to be divided on the issue of race and ways to overcome racial tensions.Harriet Beecher Stowe is certainly a less controversial figure. Her novel Uncle Tomââ¬â¢s Cabin is undoubtedly one of the most influential books in US history. Its significance was succinctly expressed by Abraham Lincoln in a personal meeting with the writer in 1862: ââ¬Å"So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this Great War!â⬠[1]While the Presidentââ¬â¢s words were surely a polite exaggeration, it is certain that Stoweââ¬â¢s novel helped wake up many citizens who, much like herself before 1850, remained passive onlookers of slavesââ¬â¢ sufferings, informed those remote from the issue, and helped shape and develop the Abolitionist Movement.However, in the South she received negative publicity as people began to accuse her of exaggerating the horrors of slavery. To this date, Americans still live to some extent in the shadow of these events. Still, debates continue as to the need to compensate descendants for the atrocities of slavery, methods to be used for the rehabilitation of the African American community, and heroes of the anti-slavery struggle.For centuries, women remained on the sidelines of American society. Slowly but gradually, their role continued to rise as womenââ¬â¢s rights entered the political agenda of the United States as an important issue. This change was made possible by the efforts of many outstanding women who upheld the cause of female liberation through the toughest of times.Harriet Beecher Stowe can be considered a precursor of the Feminist movement. In a letter to George Eliot, Stowe insisted that ââ¬Å"emancipation of slaves must be followed by the emancipation of womenâ⬠[2]. In an attempt to combine the two, Stowe wrote in New York newspaper Independent that wom en can be active in the abolitionist cause, striving to leverage their influence by signing petitions, sharing information, and organizing community anti-slavery events[3].[1] Harriet Beecher Stowe Center.

The Health Care System Operates Under Two Tier System
The Trinidad health care system operates under two tier system which consist of both public and private health care facilities, the main responsibility of the ministry of health is the overseeing of the health care sector, although this agency does not directly run the public health care facilities, the responsibility of this office is to set policies, goal and targets areas based on the assessment of the community health needs, as well as to allocate funds to the regional health authorities to finance the various health needs of the community. The public health the care system which includes four main hospital that helps to facilities the country medical needs, and can be access by the entire population of Trinidad and is offered freeâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦In the case of serious medical emergency, a medical evacuation is needed to transport the individual to the closest health care facility that offers sufficient medical care, which may be located in another country, such as Miami in the United States. The private medical sector in Trinidad is very small comprising of four facilities which include: â⬠¢ St Augustine private hospital â⬠¢ Southern medical clinic â⬠¢ West shore private medical hospital â⬠¢ Adventist hospital These facilities are located either in Port of Spain, San Fernando and the West Mooring area, they are sufficient enough to treat most health problems but offer only a slightly better treatment than that of the public health care systems. Although the private sector is considered better than the public sector it is still incapable of handling serious illness and injuries especially those that require long term care. The health care system in Trinidad is not considered the best especially is seeking care at the public facilities according to article written by Akilah Holder who writes for the Trinidad guardian concerning the death of pregnant women who have had C- section at the hospital these are some of story. ââ¬Å"Juliet Primus will never again hold her baby girl in her arms.

Pasaporte Para Viajar a EEUU en Casos Doble CiudadanÃÂa
Frecuentemente, las personas con doble ciudadanà a se preguntan si pueden ingresar sin visa a Estados Unidos por turismo o negocios utilizando el pasaporte que es de un paà s incluido en el listado del Programa de Exencià ³n de Visas, aunque no residen habitualmente en dicho paà s. La respuesta es sà , aunque deben conocerse las excepciones y cuà ¡ndo pueden surgir los problemas.à Ventajas e inconvenientes de viajar sin visa a Estados Unidos Los ciudadanos de 38 paà ses, entre los que se encuentran Chile y Espaà ±a, pueden ingresar a los Estados Unidos sin visa. Si llegan por avià ³n de là nea regular o barco deben antes de volar una autorizacià ³n que se conoce como ESTA. Una ventaja evidente de viajar sin visa es que la ESTA es mucho mà ¡s econà ³mica. En el momento de escribir este articulo el costo de la ESTA es de $14 frente a $160 de la visa B1/B2, cuyo precio final puede ser incluso superior para algunos paà ses, en aplicacià ³n de acuerdos de reciprocidad. Otra ventaja econà ³mica es que en caso de negacià ³n, se recuperan $10 en el caso de la ESTA, por lo cual el coste total es de $4. Por el contrario, si no es aprobada la solicitud de la visa de turista o negocios o la combinada de ambas, el solicitante no recupera nada. En otras palabras, pierde los $160 dà ³lares. Otro de los atractivos de viajar sin visa es que se evita tener que acudir a la entrevista en persona al consulado o Embajada, lo cual ahorra sin duda tiempo y en muchos casos tambià ©n nervios. En cuanto al tiempo, en la actualidad este problema es incluso mayor porque son numerosos los consulados en los que se necesita acudir con anterioridad a la entrevista a un Centro de Apoyo al Solicitante por el asunto de los datos biomà ©tricos, es decir, huellas digitales y fotografà a. Pero cuando se compara viajar con visa o sin visa, tambià ©n hay inconvenientes para este à ºltimo caso. Como regla general, si se ingresa a Estados Unidos con visa de turista se recibe una autorizacià ³n de 180 dà as, es decir, 6 meses. Ese plazo es el mà ¡s comà ºn, aunque puede ser inferior si asà lo decide un oficial de migracià ³n. El plazo autorizado està ¡ reflejado en el documento que se conoce como I-94. Por el contrario, si se viaja con visa el tiempo mà ¡ximo de estancia en Estados Unidos es de 90 dà as, ni uno mà ¡s. Otra gran diferencia es que si se ingresa con visa es posible solicitar una extensià ³n de la estancia y tambià ©n un cambio de visa, por ejemplo, de turista a estudiante. Sin embargo, si se ingresa a Estados Unidos sin visa no es posible alargar elà plazo de 90 de ninguna de las maneras. En otras palabras, la ley no contempla la peticià ³n de extensià ³n o de cambio a otra visa no inmigrante. Es imposible. Por lo tanto hay que salir del paà s antes de cumplir los 90 dà as de presencia.à Ademà ¡s, es recomendable evitar juegos como salir a Mà ©xico, Bahamas o Canadà ¡ y regresar con la idea de obtener asà otros 90 dà as. Lo cierto es que en estos casos se regresa no con un nuevo plazo, sino con los dà as que quedasen del anterior. Incluso hay que tener en cuenta que se està ¡ jugando con fuego en los casos de salida al paà s de origen o cuando se viaja a paà ses adyacentes como Mà ©xico y Canadà ¡ y se fuerza al là mite el plazo de los 90 dà as antes de salir de tal manera que ya no hay dà as restantes en el primer plazo cuando se regresa y se quiere obtener un nuevo trimestre. Puede suceder que el oficial de migracià ³n considere que se està ¡ viviendo en Estados Unidos, sospeche que se està ¡ trabajando o estudiando sin visa, etc. lo cual llevarà a a que se prohà ba el ingreso al paà s e incluso acabar con el castigo de una expulsià ³n inmediata. à ¿Viajar con un pasaporte o con los dos? Esta es una pregunta muy comà ºn entre las personas con doble ciudadanà a que deciden ingresar a Estados Unidos sin visa. La respuesta no es à ºnica y se ilustra mejor con casos especificos. Por ejemplo, en el caso de un argentino que vive en Argentina pero que tiene tambià ©n pasaporte italiano deberà a viajar con sus dos pasaportes. Asà , saldrà a de Argentina con el de ese paà s pero mostrarà a ya allà el italiano para que le permitan embarcar. Al ingresar y tambià ©n al salir de Estados Unidos. Al llegar a Argentina, mostrarà a ese pasaporte para entrar a su paà s. Otro ejemplo distinto es el de, por ejemplo, un argentino que reside habitualmente en Italia y tiene tambià ©n pasaporte de ese paà s. En este caso, utilizarà a solamente el pasaporte italiano. Quà © problemas pueden surgir al llegar al control migratorio de los Estados Unidos En principio, los problemas potenciales son los mismos si se viajan con visa o sin visa. Ninguna de las dos situaciones garantiza el ingreso. Lo que importa es que la persona que quiere ingresar como turista tiene que ser considerada como elegible y admisible para ingresar a Estados Unidos. Si se considera que reà ºne tal cualidad, no hay problema. De hecho, son miles las personas con doble ciudadanà a que deciden viajar sin visa y nunca han tenido problemas. En otras palabras, el problema no es la visa o la no visa, sino si se cumplen los requisitos para ingresar o no. En este punto decir que hay noticias que apuntan a que se les ha negado el ingreso en repetidas ocasiones a dominicanos que viajan a Estados Unidos recià ©n adquieren la ciudadanà a de un paà s incluido en el listado de los Paà ses con Exencià ³n de Visado (VWP, por sus siglas en inglà ©s). No es que no puedan viajar, es que por la razà ³n que sea puede haber levantado sospechas de que su intencià ³n es quedarse en los Estados Unidos. Si se tiene duda, la opcià ³n es olvidarse de viajar sin visa y solicitar una B1/B2.à Finalmente decir en relacià ³n a este punto de los posibles problemas que pueden encontrarà los cubanos para embarcar sin visa en un vuelo hacia Estados Unidos. Lo cierto es que miles de cubanos embarcan e ingresan sin ningà ºn problema. Pero no es menos cierto que se les puede impedir incluso embarcar si se sospecha que su intencià ³n es quedarse en Estados Unidos y pedir que se les aplique la Ley de Ajuste Cubano una vez que està ¡n allà . Excepciones a viajar sin visa en los casos de doble ciudadanà a En determinadas ocasiones no es posible que las personas con doble ciudadanà a decidan que prefieren viajar sin visa y deben solicitar la visa si es que quieren viajar como turistas a los Estados Unidos. Entre otras situaciones destacan las siguientes: Cuando previamente le han negado una visa, aunque la solicitaran con otro pasaporte. La visa se le negà ³ a la persona, no al pasaporte y las autoridades migratorias saben que se trata de la misma persona al cotejar las huellas digitales que se dieron al solicitar la visa con las que se toman en el punto de ingreso a Estados Unidos (puerto, aeropuerto o paso terrestre fronterizo). Otra situacià ³n que pide por solicitar la visa es cuando previamente una persona ha tenido una visa americana y à ©sta ha sido cancelada. Otro caso es cuando se ha visitado anteriormente Estados Unidos y el visitante se ha quedado mà ¡s tiempo del autorizado.à Finalmente, todos los casos en los que ha habido en el pasado situaciones problemà ¡ticas, como violaciones migratorias, deportaciones, expulsiones inmediatas, etc. Otras situaciones de doble ciudadanà a o nacionalidad Estados Unidos, por regla general, no tiene ningà ºn problema con la doble ciudadanà a, tambià ©n conocida como doble nacionalidad. Esto es asà en el caso de extranjeros que pueden utilizar el pasaporte que deseen, como se ha explicado en este artà culo, pero tambià ©n en otros como para aplicar por visas limitadas a ciertos paà ses como es el caso de la visa de inversià ³n E-2. Asà ,por ejemplo, un venezolano no puede beneficiarse de esa visa pero si cuenta con otro pasaporte como puede ser el de Colombia, Espaà ±a, Portugal, etc, puede solicitarla. Pero tambià ©n es el caso de sus propios ciudadanos. Estados Unidos admite la doble nacionalidad y casi no impone là mites a esta situacià ³n. De interà ©s para turistas en Estados Unidos La mejor forma de evitar problemas migratorios, tanto si se ingresa con visa o con ESTA, es cumplir con la ley, por lo que se recomienda tomar este test para conocer aspectos fundamentales. El caso especial de Canadà ¡ Como regla general, los ciudadanos de Canadà ¡ no necesitan ni visa ni ESTA para ingresar a Estados Unidos como turistas y el permiso de estancia es por 6 meses.à Esto aplica a los canadienses que tambià ©n son ciudadanos de otro paà s, es decir, a los casos de doble ciudadanà a. Sin embargo, no aplica a los extranjeros que tienen residencia en Canadà ¡. Este es un artà culo informativo. No es asesorà a legal.

Five Phases of Project Management Free Essays
Assignment ââ¬â Five Phases Project Management Strategy November 5, 2012 Five Phases of Project Management Life cycle management is a business management approach that can be used by all types of businesses (and other organizations) to improve their products and thus the sustainability, employing the principles of project life cycle ââ¬â the five phases of project management, which consists of, initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. Iniation Phase The first phase of a project is the initiation phase. During this phase, a business problem or opportunity is identified and a business case providing various solution options is defined. We will write a custom essay sample on Five Phases of Project Management or any similar topic only for you Order Now Once the recommended solution is approved, a project is initiated to deliver the approved solution. Terms of reference are completed outlining the objectives, scope and structure of the new project and a project manager is appointed. The project manager begins recruiting a project team and establishes a project office environment. Within the initiation phase, the business problem or opportunity is identified, a solution is defined, a project is formed and a project team is appointed to build and deliver the solution to the customer (Barkley, 2005). Planning Phase Often the most time-consuming of the phases of project management, the Planning phase is where you lay your project groundwork and is critical for a successful implementation of the subsequent Execution phase (Reynolds, 2009). Additionally, in this phase Project Planning builds on the work done in Project Initiation, refining and augmenting Cost, Scope, Schedule and Quality (CSSQ) and Project Plan deliverables. Usually, additional members join the Project Team, and they assist the Project Manager in further elaborating the details of the Cost, Scope, Schedule and Quality (Macek, 2010). The planning phase produces a project plan, project charter and/or project scope outlining the work to be performed. During this phase, a team should prioritize the project, calculate a budget and schedule, and determine what resources are needed0 (LaBrosse, 2008). This phase is the basis for the successful execution of the subsequent Executing phase. The planning phase is also the phase where, definition of work packages, detailed planning, clarification of responsibilities, risk analysis, and interfaces are defined. Project Planning marks the completion of the Project Plan ââ¬âi. e. , no work is left uncovered. Execution Phase Execution. This is where the project team does the work to crate the final deliverables of the project. It is the largest part of most projects and it goes far better if adequate time was taken to properly plan the work of the project (Reynolds, 2009). Resourcesââ¬â¢ tasks are distributed and teams are informed of responsibilities. This is a good time to bring up important project related information (Project Plan Execution, 2009). During the Execution phase, the project manager spends a considerable amount of time in communication making sure the resources (people, equipment and materials) are available to do their work and know what work needs to be completed. There is a significant amount of work in this phase, as a project manager works to juggle many aspects of the project. During this phase, youââ¬â¢ll use all of your management skills to implement and manage cost and quality, risks and change, and several other factors (Reynolds, 2009). Monitoring The next phase of the Project management life cycle is monitoring. Successful Project Management Principles amp; Controls are summarized as three main methods; continual focus on the Project Plan, constant update of the Project Plan (especially the triple restraints, and most importantly, measure status and project progress against the Project Plan -making adjustments to get back on track, if necessary (Project Plan Execution, 2009) . Closure In Project Closeout, the Project Team assesses the outcome of the project, as well as the performance of the Project Team and the Performing Organization. This is accomplished primarily through soliciting and evaluating feedback from Customers, Project Team members, Consumers and other stakeholders. The primary purpose of this assessment is to document best practices and lessons learned for use on future projects. In addition, key project metrics are also captured to enable the Performing Organization to compare and evaluate erformance measurements across projects. Project completion is signified by accomplishments such as (1) all tasks finished, (2) agreed deliverables completed, (3) testing completed, and (4) training materials prepared. The project benefits should be measured and compared with the final business case. Not all the benefits of the project are immediately apparent. The results must be compared with the cost-benefit analysis along with all the other forecast b enefits that the project was planned to provide the organisation. Analyzes how each phase could support the organizationââ¬â¢s business strategy. There is a dramatic rise in the use of project management as organizations shift to provide customer driven results and systems solutions. Some implementations of project management have been successful, while others are incredible failures. A common occurrence in many organizations is too many projects being attempted by too few people with no apparent link to strategy or organizational goals. Unfortunately, this is why the organization I currently work in is struggling to successfully complete the EMR, too few resources and too many projects being implemented simultaneously and most not align with the strategic plan. Experience indicates that the support of upper management is critical to project success, upper management was absent as participants of the project until the decision was made to delay the go-live. In our case, Upper management did not take action to create an environment for more successful projects in their organizations. Project management must be regarded as a company-wide project management competency designed to benefit the entire company (Kerzner, 2005). It also includes developing a corporate culture that is based upon effective organizational behavior and creating a well-developed project management methodology, accompanied by the proper supporting tools, which is vital to achieving organizational goals. Once the organization recognizes that project management is a core competency, the organization can convert this competency into a sustainable competitive advantage. The ultimate purpose is for the sustainable competitive advantage to become the pathway for a strategic competency that becomes a primary drive during strategic planning activities (Kerzner, 2005. As the project management strategy matures, the business value derived from each phase increases. Increased value subsequent to increase project portfolio leads to the alignment of project management and organizational strategy across the organization/enterprise. Keeping each phase of the project on track yields a successful project, which means managing the triple constraints and strict management of metrics (monitoring phase). The project goals then extend throughout the team to the suppliers, contractors, and stakeholders. The five phases of project management assists the organization in creating a strategic value chain that gives companies a competitive edge. References Kerzner, H. (2005).

Specialty Toys Inc Case Study - Quantitative Methods and solution
Question: Describe about the Quantitative Methods of Specialty Toys Inc? Answer: Introduction According to Armstrong and Hilton (2011) companies should adopt the maintenance of economic order quantity so that the companies can manage the inventory and maximize the profit through continuous review of the system. The report deals with the ascertainment of the economic order quantity of Weather Teddy which is a new range of product introduced by the Specialty Inc. Normal probability distribution of the sales forecast The Normal distribution curve Carlberg (2011) commented that normal distribution curve which is also known as the bell curve refers to the shape created when a line is plotted using the data points for an item that meets the criteria of normal distribution. The centre of the curve is the highest point containing the greatest value. The centre point is referred as the mean of the curve. The bell curve decreases on the either side of the centre thereby outlining the standard deviations of the curve. The standard deviation determines the height and the width of the bell. Calculation of the mean and standard deviation Mean = 20000 (Expected demand) So P (10k X 30k) = 0.95 By symmetry P (20k X 30k) = 0.475 P (0 Z 10k/ ) = 0.475 From normal tables, Z value corresponding to this 0.475 is 1.96 So 10000/ = 1.96 Or, 1.96 = 10000/ Or, Standard deviation is 10000/1.96 = 5102. 04 or approximated to 5102 In the above calculation it can be said that 95% of the normal distribution falls between 10000 and 30000 hence 47.5% falls between 20000 and 30000. From the normal distribution table the value of 47.5% can be determined as 1.96 (Standard deviation). Hence the required standard deviation is around 5102. The mean for the purpose of calculation is assumed to be the 20000 units which is the expected demand for the companys sell. Normal distribution curve Computation of probability of stock out for order quantities Stock out may be defined as the situation where the current market demand cannot be fulfilled by the company from the current inventory (Diday, 2013). The issue of stock out is a grave issue for the consumers. Since the stock out will hamper the demand of the customers. A stock out is when virtual inventory has been depleted and is no longer available from either the supplier or the retailer. The majority of the cases of stock out are seen in cases of retail companies. In the case of Specialty Inc the management depending upon the various suggested quantities tried to calculate the stock out probabilities for each quantity. The variation in the order quantities shows that being a retail company Specialty Inc has formulated the various ranges of order quantity so that the stock out risks can be managed. The profitability of stock out with an order of K units is P(X K) P (X K) = P (Z (K 20000) / 5102 Here Z is the standard normal The order quantities suggested by the management of Specialty Inc are namely 15000, 18000, 24000 and 28,000 Order ( K) (K 20000) / 5102 P ( X K) 15000 -0.98001 0.83 18000 -0.392 0.65 24000 0.784006 0.21 28000 1.568012 0.05 Computation of projected profits The projected profits are calculated based on the three different scenarios adopted by the management of the company (Sprinthall, 2012). The management of the company adopted the worst case scenario, the most likely scenario and the best scenario and with the help of the ordering quantities calculated the profit that the company will experience in each case. In the calculation of the same the company took into account two types of profit rates firstly the initial profit rate of $ 8 and secondly the surplus profit rate of $11 for the excess of the ordering quantity (Hardle and Simar, 2012). Projected profits for order quantity of 15000 The initially cost price is $ 16 and the initial selling price is $ 24 and after holiday the company will sell the surplus at $ 5 selling price. Profit initially = (24-16) = $ 8 Profit later = (16- 5) = $ 11 Worst case scenario (10000) Most likely case scenario (20000) Best case scenario (30000) (8*10000) - (11*5000) = 25000 (8 * 15000) = 120000 (8 * 15000) = 120000 Projected profits for order quantity of 18000 The initially cost price is $ 16 and the initial selling price is $ 24 and after holiday the company will sell the surplus at $ 5 selling price. Profit initially = (24-16) = $ 8 Profit later = (16- 5) = $ 11 Worst case scenario (10000) Most likely case scenario (20000) Best case scenario (30000) (8*10000) - (11*8000) = -8000 (8 * 18000) = 144000 (8 * 18000) = 144000 Projected profits for order quantity of 24000 The initially cost price is $ 16 and the initial selling price is $ 24 and after holiday the company will sell the surplus at $ 5 selling price. Profit initially = (24-16) = $ 8 Profit later = (16- 5) = $ 11 Worst case scenario (10000) Most likely case scenario (20000) Best case scenario (30000) (8*10000) - (11*14000) = -74000 (8 * 20000) ( 11 * 4000) = 116000 (8 * 24000) = 192000 Projected profits for order quantity of 28000 The initially cost price is $ 16 and the initial selling price is $ 24 and after holiday the company will sell the surplus at $ 5 selling price. Profit initially = (24-16) = $ 8 Profit later = (16- 5) = $ 11 Worst case scenario (10000) Most likely case scenario (20000) Best case scenario (30000) (8*10000) - (11*18000) = -118000 (8 * 20000) ( 11 * 8000) = 72000 (8 * 28000) = 224000 Computation of ordering quantities As per the management the ordering quantity which will meet 70% demand and has a probability of 30% stock out can be found as follows: P(X K) = 0.70 P (Z (K 20000) / 5102) = 0.70 Or, (K 20000) / 5102 = 0.5244 (As per the corresponding value of Z in normal distribution table) K = (20000 + 5102) * 0.5244 = 20000+2675 = 22675 (Economic order quantity) Objected profit under three diverse sales scenario Worst case scenario (10000) Most likely case scenario (20000) Best case scenario (30000) (8*10000) - (11*12675) = -59425 (8 * 20000) ( 11 * 2675) = 130575 (8 * 22675) = 181400 Recommendation The order quantity that the company should maintain should range between 20000 and 25000. The management had determined that with a order quantity of around 22675 the profitability of the company increases to 70% and the probability of stock out reduces to 30%. Moreover the most likely scenario considered by the company management is 20000. Hence keeping the order quantity between the range of 20000 and 25000 will neither put the company at risk of stock out nor keep excess amount of stock for the company. Moreover the company will also be able to maintain a steady amount of profit in this range of stock. The probability of stock out for the company under the option of most likely range of ordering quantity is also low that is .21 or 21%.Weather Teddy is a new addition to the existing product line of the toy company. Although the product is designed in an innovative manner in order to cater to the needs of the children in an informative as well as innovative manner. However since the product is a toy hence it is not possible to measure the demand graph of the product and it is not possible to judge the amount of ordering quantity in order to balance the situations of stock out. If the company adopts the best possible scenario and orders products ranging between 26000 and 30000 then if the product flops in the market then the company may get stuck with the high levels of inventory in the warehouse along with high levels of cost of production and inability to recover the variable costs. In that situation the company would have to sell the goods at reduced prices. Hence it is advisable to maintain a lower level of ordering quantity initially and after judging the demand level the company can effectively increase the amount of ordering quantity. Conclusion The report shows the overall findings in terms of profitability, mean, standard deviation, probability of stock out and also the ordering quantity and the expected profit at the different given scenarios. From the analysis it can be ascertained that the company should maintain a best possible scenario and should ideally make quantity orders ranging between 20000 and 25000 so that the company doesnt suffer any situation of stock out or any situation of over stocking of the goods. Hence from the report it can be ascertained that stock out is not a favorable situation for the company and hence it should be avoided. References list Armstrong, R. and Hilton, A.
