227). These shorter door-to-balloon times were especially pronounced during business hours and weekend/evenings shifts (Scherer et al
Triage in the Emergency Department Arrival time to ECG. Although there has been some progress made in improving the performance of tertiary healthcare facilities in responding to the need to use evidence-based quality measures for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), there remains a need for improvement in a key publicly reported quality indicator for AMI (Webster, Curry & Berg, 2007)
Airplanes are utilized by militaries and civilian agencies around the world. They have been integrated with comfortable facilities in the case of passenger planes and wide-ranging weapons systems for military use (Chavis, 2011)
Therefore, from a wide-ranging point-of-view the financial impacts of transportation can be direct and indirect: Direct force associated to convenience alters where transport allows larger markets and facilitates to save time and expenses. Indirect force related to the financial multiplier effects where the cost of merchandise, goods or services drop and their diversity goes up (Rodrigue, 2011)
Instead of the goods being loaded and unloaded with each change of vehicle, the container is simply moved from one mode to the other. In some instances, this may not be the case, but the optimal situation relies on containers to streamline the logistics process (Bektas & Crainic, 2007)
Public transportation has experienced a significant decline in the recent decades, this most probably being a result of the fact that people started to earn larger incomes. The masses perceived cars as an extension of their home, as they become more accessorized and "easier and more comfortable to drive" (Simpson 3)
It is also essential to understand that there are a number of techniques and solution to single problem faced in the business. The best option is selected on the basis of economic, functional, and operational viability in relation to the business perspective and severity of the impacts (Andersen & Fagerhaug, 2006)
However, during the industrialization period, the flow of immigrants that set foot in the United States became employed in more specialized sectors of the economy, more precisely the ship building industry, crafts, and other works that became of success in the industrial America. In this sense, Italian immigrants came to regions of Baltimore (Davison, 1998), Eastern Europeans, Germans, and even Chinese came to either seek employment or an escape from their own countries (Rise of Industrial America, 2004)
The result was obvious. "In 1860, America was fourth in the world in manufacturing but by the turn of the 20th century was the biggest industrial nation in the world by far" (Katers, 2006)

In this sense, it is rather famous the story of the Bonanza and the mines of the West. These were considered to be a myth and many wanted to prove the truth (Wolle, 1953)
S. flag ships were required to register their anti-terrorist security plans with the United States Coast Guard (Drakos 2004)
As with many government programs, however, the MTSA has quickly become an even bigger ticket item that the government struggles to afford. When executives for the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) testified before Congress in 2005 and 2006, they both indicated that the program was underfunded and that ports were spending hundreds of millions of dollars of their own money to achieve security upgrades that were budgeted for by the MTSA (Godwin 2005 and Nagle 2006)
The reporting and information regarding all crewmembers, passengers and cargo must be improved in order to better anticipate and deter security incidents. Part of the means to accomplish this will come from more efficient screening and inspection of vessels, crewmembers and cargo (Hollings 2002)
When executives for the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) testified before Congress in 2005 and 2006, they both indicated that the program was underfunded and that ports were spending hundreds of millions of dollars of their own money to achieve security upgrades that were budgeted for by the MTSA (Godwin 2005 and Nagle 2006). As a result, over 80% of the requested grants were not awarded and the government was required to restrict the eligibility of ports authorized to receive the grants, a move strongly opposed by the AAPA (Nagle 2006)
S. Coast Guard to design a security program in which each port would have to submit a security plan for approval (United States Senate, 2001)
One way of measuring the Coast Guard's success at achieving its goal against its burden imposed on the people is to look at the implementation of the regulations. By most accounts, from the very start of enforcement, the industry participants have been able to and willing to comply (White 2004 and Waldron and Dyer 2005)
The cost benefits of reverse logistics also contribute to the cost efficiencies of public warehouses (Berglund, Laarhoven, Sharman, Wandel, 1999). Reverse logistics is a supply chain process that seeks to capture packaging, recyclable components, and potentially toxic materials in products so they can be safely disposed of (Dowlatshahi, 2010)
Cost Benefits of Public Warehousing Manufacturers often seek to minimize the level of investment made in their supply chain operations, with distribution centers being the most expensive to build, maintain and upgrade over time with new technologies and material handling equipment. Public warehouses alleviate the need for building out distribution centers throughout a supply chain to support peak demand periods by giving manufacturers the flexibility of leasing only the space they need for short, often highly in-demand seasons of their products (Jayaram, Tan, 2010)
Transportation Planning and the Role of Public Warehouses Public warehouses are a critical part of many company's reliance on 3rd Party Logistics (3PL) strategies for minimizing costs while attaining the highest levels of supply chain efficiency possible (Jenkins, 1992)
