	Power distance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Power distance is a cultural index derived by sociologist Geert Hofstede.
		The Arabic-speaking nations, Latin America, Russia, and nearly all of Asia (especially India and China) are high in power distance.
		Most of Europe, Canada, Australia and Israel are low in power distance.

	STATUS, DISTANCE, AND BEHAVIOR
		Equal power is therefore an unstable situation, in which there is uncertainty as to who controls whom, in which two people vie to establish a hierarchy, if not completely, at least concerning certain interests.
		Then distances in wealth and power from others tend to be moderate, and behavior towards the rich or poor, powerful or weak will not be intense, nor wide in scope.
		These distances are vector forces towards behavior, but their total effect depends on the other distances, which as vectors comprise the dynamic nature of the sociocultural field and help generate social behavior.

	Vincent paper
		We now have an opportunity to evaluate whether the importance of such factors as power, economic development and political system, were unique to cold war era or may tend to prevail in a similar way in new systemic arrangements, as in the present pattern, or in still other patterns likely to develop in the future.
		Correlations using Distance Theory are correlations of dyadic attribute distances with dyadic behavior while correlations of Attribute Theory are of attribute scores (such as GNP per capita for the US) with total behavior (such as all the conflict sent by the US to all others in the system).
		For example, a dyad with a positive score on a distance dimension, such as economic development distance, indicates that the dyadic partners tend to be dissimilar on the variables that load heavily on that dimension.

	Peace Corps \| World Wise Schools \| Teaching About Culture \| Culture Matters Workbook \| Chapter 4
		HIGH POWER DISTANCE: Cultures where high power distance typifies the workplace accept that inequalities in power and status are natural or existential.
		Those with power tend to emphasize it, to hold it close and not delegate or share it, and to distinguish themselves as much as possible from those who do not have power.
		Those with power, therefore, tend to deemphasize it, to minimize the differences between themselves and subordinates, and to delegate and share power to the extent possible.

	Going the Distance - GPS World
		This becomes quickly apparent in the matter of power supply, which must come from batteries and not a vehicle-borne system, and must support positioning, microprocessor, and communications components, and often temperature and alarm sensors as.
		Power supply represents a key differentiator among tracking systems, which must support positioning, microprocessor, and communications components and often other sensors.
		The result is the AXTracker introduced in June this year, which integrates a low-power GPS module, a satellite communications modem, and host processor powered by innovative hybrid lithium thionyl chloride primary batteries.

	GPS World: Going the distance: power supply management in an asset tracking device - Design Challenge
		The advent of affordable GPS positioning and ubiquitous wireless communications is spurring interest and adoption of tracking capabilities in diverse fields: fleet management, personal location services, pets, electronic surveillance of parolees, cargo and other mobile assets.
		The power requirements for positioning and communications functionality are challenging in a battery-powered device.
		Another consideration for satellite communications-based tracking is the transmit power required to communicate to geostationary satellites and the constraints that places on a remote asset management device.

		The battery voltage increased to 32.1 volts and the SOC was at 107.3% by the end of the DSN pass.
		The small depth of discharge is not a concern, as the battery will be heavily used to provide power during DSN passes for the next year.
		Next April when Stardust is at maximum distance from the Sun, the maximum communication time is expected to be just over two hours and will leave the battery SOC at 60%, keeping the battery cells alive and in good condition.

		How power is extended vertically through hierarchies and horizontally through industrial networks and markets is a classic issue in sociology that was once extensively studied by Weber.
		Yet it is little studied today Definitions of power exclude power exercise beyond the single relation, as does research in exchange networks.
		In contrast, research in organizations recognizes the extension of power, but offers no theory to explain how it is produced or to identify the conditions which might further or impede it.

	power distance
		Power distance is defined as "the extent to which it the less powerful members of institutions and organisations within a country expect and except that power is distributed unequally".
		The power distance concept is clearly more far-reaching than the work place alone.
		The power distance is often reflected in the hierarchical organisation of companies, the respect that is expected to be shown by the student towards his teacher, the political forms of decentralisation and centralisation, by the belief in society that inequalities among people should be minimised, or that they are expected and desired.

	The Promise and the Power of Distance Learning in Rural Education
		Concerns about student learning in distance learning environments are unfounded: research shows that students in a distance learning environment learn just as well as traditionally taught students.
		The report argues that distance learning is a strategy that must be pursued, and pursued well.
		With that in mind, the policy brief calls for the adoption of enlightened distance learning policies and guidelines at the state and local levels.

	:: Gary Mayes' Golf Equipment Journal presented by equip2golf.com ::
		The wedge test was performed using a Titleist DCI OS+ pitching wedge (48° loft) with a target swing speed of 65-69 mph (corresponding to roughly 80-85% of full power and a carry distance of 92-98 yards).
		Note that the carry distance does not include the amount of roll expected after the shot lands which is a complex factor between final launch angle and final spin rate, neither of which is known.
		The Callaway Warbird and Top-Flite Tour had excellent combinations of long driver distance and high wedge spin, and the Nike Power Distance Ti-Velocity (V) exhibited distances that were the class of the field.

		The result is low compression golf balls that not only feel better but also reduce spin rates off the driver, optimizing trajectories and minimizing sidespin for longer, more accurate shots.
		By varying the compression and dimple pattern of each ball in the Super Series, Nike Golf has created three distinct performance golf balls that satisfy the varying preferences of golfers and address the varying conditions of golf courses.
		The result is a larger sweet zone, higher launch and maximum distance.
