S-curve describes how the performance or cost characteristics of a technology change with time and continued investments. While the horizontal axis shows the history (time and investment) of technical innovations‚ the vertical axis shows some problems of product performance or cost competitiveness. The pace of improvement slows when the established technology is improved and approaching its maturity. Many problems which a new technology has to face with are solved over time and with investment

of my microbiology class at Brunswick Community College. This journey started out with a media plate cultured with an unknown species of bacteria. I was then instructed by my professor to use all of my previous knowledge to identify the unknown bacterial pathogen. This lab led me to master my skills of using the Gram stain‚ testing for catalase‚ testing for coagulase and using the oxacillin screen. Now I am going to take you with me on the journey to the unknown. As I recall from earlier that

1. What is the Solow (or long-run) growth curve‚ why is it vertical‚ and what causes it to shift? Solow growth curve is a production function that expresses the relationship between output and the factors of production. the formula is Y = F(A‚K‚eL) where A= ideas‚ K = physical captial‚ L = Labor‚ and e = natural resources. The Solow growth curve is represented by a vertical line at the Solow growth rate because: I. it does not depend on the rate of inflation. II. there is an underlying assumption

Advanced Food hygiene Assigment question 6 Non Bacterial Food Posioning Food poisoning can be caused by the consumption of food contaminated by substances other than bacteria. This can occur by contamination of the food by chemicals‚ the ingestion of poisonous plants and by eating fish or shellfish that have been feeding on poisonous plankton or living in contaminated waters. Several foods contain naturally occurring poisons. This is more common in plants; there are hardly any animals that are

Liquid or fluid appearance is visible. Bacteria and background don’t have a much of difference in color. Although‚ bacteria are defined and visible noted. Most of the time they are single round cells. In direct stain with crystal violet‚ again background is colorless and glossy. Bacteria is blue and some

SECTION 2: TIME VALUE OF MONEY Decision problems in business usually involve a decision over whether to accept one alternative over another‚ or whether to implement a plan or not. In most cases‚ the effects of these decisions are felt in the future. Examples: Expand into a new market (geographical‚ consumer segment‚ etc.) or not? Now or later? Outsource production or keep it in-house? Grow organically or acquire a competitor? Or don’t grow at all? Purchase shares in Microsoft

What happens when a sugar lump dissolves in water? When the sugar dissolves... -The moving water molecules crash into the sugar particles -The sugar particles then break away from the crystal and into the water -The sugar and water particles then mix and diffuse evenly throughout.

Considering the production of maize and shirts in Botswana‚ we can use the notion of the production possibilities curves to determine levels of efficiency‚ inefficiency‚ economic growth and technological improvement. The production possibilities curve (PPC) is a graph that shows the different quantities of the two goods (in this case‚ maize and shirts) that an economy (Botswana) could efficiently produce with the limited productive resources. To be able to illustrate this simply we assume that
