Tracking the Trends in Inventory Management in the Automobile Manufacturing Industry Throughout the Business Cycle

This paper investigates the trends in inventory management in the automobile manufacturing industry during recessionary vs. non-recessionary periods. It is an empirical approach to testing the validity of the hypothesis that firms which carry leaner inventories perform better throughout the business cycle and are less affected by variability in the economy than less lean firms. The research also hopes to shed some light on how firm's financial statements can be manipulated through discretionary adjustments made by management pertaining to the valuation of inventories.

The Bohr Model for the Hydrogen Atom's electron is discussed in detail, with a recapitulation of angular momentum and a detailed discussion of relevant units (out of the cgs system).

Advanced Physical Chemistry Problems (II), Hydrogen Atom and Hyrdrogen Molecular Ion

Slightly advanced problems in Physical Chemistry, herein concerning the H-atom and the Hydrogen Molecular Cation, are presented and discussed.

Guessing Solutions to the H-atom Schrodinger Equation

In teaching elementary quantum chemistry, the concept of eigenfunctionality is explored using the H-atom's Hamiltonian and various guessed functions. This is done in Cartesian coordinates, in Spherical Polar coordinates, and in Confocal Elliptical coordinates.
