SIA “SANMEISTARS” finansiālās darbības analīze un attīstības iespējas.
2018
Bakalaura darba autors ir Raimonds Oliņš. Bakalaura darba tēma ir “SIA “Sanmeistars” finansiālās darbības analīze un attīstības iespējas”. Finanšu analīze ir neatsverams palīgs uzņēmuma izaugsmes potenciāla novērtēšanai. Finansiālās darbības analīze palīdz noteikt un analizēt kļūdas uzņēmējdarbībā, kā arī parāda skaidru priekšstatu par uzņēmuma finanšu situāciju, tā ļauj pieņemt pareizākos lēmumus uzņēmuma darba efektivitātes paaugstināšanai un uzņēmuma izaugsmes un attīstības veicināšanai, kā arī prognozēt un plānot tuvākās nākotnes attīstības iespējas. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir, pamatojoties uz teorētiskajiem literatūras avotiem, analizēt SIA “Sanmeistars” finansiālo darbību un tā attīstī…
Kvalitātes kritēriju salīdzinošā vērtēšana Rīgas viesnīcas.
2017
Darbā apskatītā galvenā problēma ir Latvijas viesnīcu nozares sarežģītā vide, kas noris negodīgas konkurences apstākļos, atsevišķiem tirgus dalībniekiem mākslīgi samazinot pakalpojumu cenas, tādejādi sevišķi apgrūtinot jaunu nozares spēlētāju ienākšanu tirgū. Galvenie uzdevumi ir literatūras avotu izpēte, sevišķi tūrisma nozares perspektīvā, salīdzinošās vērtēšanas projekta īstenošana Pārdaugavas četru zvaigžņu viesnīcās un nozares kritisko pakalpojumu noteikšana. Iegūtie rezultāti norāda uz vēlamajiem viesnīcas pakalpojumu uzlabošanas pasākumiem, ņemot vērā klientu vēlmes, kas tieši nosaka pieprasījumu pēc izmitināšanas un ar to saistītajiem pakalpojumiem.
The Voyage of Metals in the Universe from Cosmological to Planetary Scales: the need for a Very High-Resolution, High Throughput Soft X-ray Spectrome…
2019
Metals form an essential part of the Universe at all scales. Without metals we would not exist, and the Cosmos would look completely different. Metals are primarily born through nuclear processes in stars. They leave their cradles through winds or explosions, and then start their journey through space. This can lead them in and out of astronomical objects on all scales, ranging from comets, planets, stars, entire galaxies, groups and clusters of galaxies to the largest structures of the Universe. Their wanderings are fundamental in determining how these objects, and the entire universe, evolve. In addition, their bare presence can be used to trace what these structures look like. The scope …
Simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 13+1
2004
We present the results of two simultaneous X-ray/radio observations of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 13+1, performed in July/August 1999 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and the Very Large Array. In X-rays the source was observed in two distinct spectral states; a soft state, which had a corresponding 6 cm flux density of ~0.25 mJy, and a hard state, which was much brighter at 1.3-7.2 mJy. For the radio bright observation we measured a delay between changes in the X-ray spectral hardness and the radio brightness of ~40 minutes, similar to what has been found in the micro-quasar GRS 1915+105. We compare our results with those of GRS 1915+105 and the atoll/Z-type neutron star X-ray binarie…
Modeling an X-ray Flare on Proxima Centauri: evidence of two flaring loop components and of two heating mechanisms at work
2003
We model in detail a flare observed on Proxima Centauri with the EPIC-PN on board XMM-Newton at high statistics and high time resolution and coverage. Time-dependent hydrodynamic loop modeling is used to describe the rise and peak of the light curve, and a large fraction of the decay, including its change of slope and a secondary maximum, over a duration of more than 2 hours. The light curve, the emission measure and the temperature derived from the data allow us to constrain the loop morphology and the heating function and to show that this flare can be described with two components: a major one triggered by an intense heat pulse injected in a single flaring loop with half-length ~1.0 10^{…
The BeppoSAX 0.1 - 18 keV Spectrum of the Bright Atoll Source GX 9+1: an Indication of the Source Distance
2005
We report the results of a long, 350 ks, BeppoSAX observation of the bright atoll source GX 9+1 in the 0.12 - 18 keV energy range. During this observation GX 9+1 showed a large count rate variability in its lightcurve. From its color - color diagram we selected six zones and extracted the source energy spectrum from each zone. We find that the model, composed of a blackbody plus a Comptonized component absorbed by an equivalent hydrogen column of similar to 1.4 x 10(22) cm(-2), fits the spectra in the energy range 1 - 18 keV well; however, below 1 keV a soft excess is present. We find that the spectrum of GX 9+1, in the 0.12 - 18 keV energy range, is well fitted by the model above, if we us…
B-MINE, the balloon-borne microcalorimeter nuclear line explorer
2001
B-MINE is a concept for a balloon mission designed to probe the deepest regions of a supernova explosion by detecting Ti-44 emission at 68 keV with spatial and spectral resolutions that are sufficient to determine the extent and velocity distribution of the Ti-44 emitting region. The payload introduces the concept of focusing optics and microcalorimeter spectroscopy to nuclear line emission astrophysics. B-MINE has a thin, plastic foil telescope multilayered to maximize the reflectivity in a 20 keV band centered at 68 keV and a microcalorimeter array optimized for the same energy band. This combination provides a reduced background, an energy resolution of 50 eV and a 3sigma sensitivity in …
Broadband observations of the X-ray burster 4U1705-44 with Beppo SAX
2016
4U 1705-44 is one of the most-studied type I X-ray burster and Atoll sources. This source represents a perfect candidate to test different models proposed to self-consistently track the physical changes occurring between different spectral states because it shows clear spectral state transitions. The broadband coverage, the sensitivity and energy resolution of the BeppoSAX satellite offers the opportunity to disentangle the components that form the total X-ray spectrum and to study their changes according to the spectral state. Using two BeppoSAX observations carried out in August and October 2000, respectively, for a total effective exposure time of about 100 ks, we study the spectral evol…
The Be/X-ray transient 4U0115+63/V635 Cassiopeiae : II. Outburst mechanisms
2001
We present multi-wavelength long-term monitoring observations of V635 Cas, the optical counterpart to the transient X-ray pulsar 4U0115+63. The evolution of emission lines and photometric magnitudes indicates that the Be star undergoes relatively fast ( ~3 - 5yr) quasi-cyclic activity, losing and reforming its circumstellar disc. We show that the general optical, infrared and X-ray behaviour can be explained by the dynamical evolution of the viscous circumstellar disc around the Be star. After each disc-loss episode, the disc starts reforming and grows until it reaches the radius at which the resonant interaction of the neutron star truncates it. At some point, the disc becomes unstable to …
3D simulations of wind-jet interaction in massive X-ray binaries
2010
High-mass microquasars may produce jets that will strongly interact with surrounding stellar winds on binary system spatial scales. We study the dynamics of the collision between a mildly relativistic hydrodynamical jet of supersonic nature and the wind of an OB star. We performed numerical 3D simulations of jets that cross the stellar wind with the code Ratpenat. The jet head generates a strong shock in the wind, and strong recollimation shocks occur due to the initial overpressure of the jet with its environment. These shocks can accelerate particles up to TeV energies and produce gamma-rays. The recollimation shock also strengthens jet asymmetric Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities produced i…
