had its roots in the work of two mathematicians‚ Paul Erdos and Alfred Renyi. Their work suggested that systems such as communications could be effectively modelled by connecting nodes with randomly placed links. Their simple approach revitalised graph theory and led to the emergence of the field of random networks. An important prediction of random network theory is regardless of the random placement of links most nodes will still have approximately the same number of links. In fact‚ in a random

In Graph 1‚ each line of color represents a different level of pH added to the solution. When pH 9 was added‚ it produced the highest rate of reaction (the most oxygen was produced)‚ whereas when the more acidic pH 5 was added‚ the rate of reaction was much slower‚ and less efficient. The higher the oxygen evolved (gas produced)‚ the more reactions were being produced/higher rate of reaction. Different types of enzymes’ reaction proportions differ based on the pH being added. For example‚ intestinal

WHAT IS A RANDOM VARIABLE? A random variable assigns a number to each outcome of a random circumstance‚ or‚ equivalently‚ a random variable assigns a number to each unit in a population. It is easier to create rules for broad classes of situations and then identify how a specific example fits into a class than it is to create rules for each specific example. We can employ this strategy quite effectively for working with a wide variety of situations Involving probability and random outcomes. We

Unit 4 Research Paper Assignment 1: Using Global Variables 1. Five advantages of using global variables • It is accessible to all modules in a program • You only have to declare it once outside the modules • It is good to use it for constants you want to keep consistent • It simplifies maintenance‚ avoids duplication of local constants • It can make a program easier to read in reference to constants Five disadvantages of using global variables • It makes debugging difficult • Any statement

Microsoft Excel supports many kinds of charts to help you display data in ways that are meaningful to your audience. When you use the Chart Wizard to create a chart — or when you use the Chart Type command to change an existing chart — you can easily select the type you want from a list of standard or custom chart types. For an overview of some standard chart types and their subtypes‚ click any or all of the following: Column charts A column chart shows data changes over a period of time or illustrates

1) When will profits reported under variable and absorption costing differ? How can we reconcile the profits reported under the two approaches? Profits reported under variable and absorption costing will differ when inventory increases or decreases during the year. The difference involves the timing with which fixed manufacturing overhead becomes an expense. Under variable costing‚ fixed overhead is expensed immediately as it is incurred. Under absorption costing‚ fixed overhead is inventoried

INTRODUCTION TO QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHODS This chapter introduces the fundamental elements of qualitative research methods‚ beginning with a definition of qualitative of research‚ followed by discussion on the evolution of qualitative research methods and how it is different from quantitative research methods. Also discussed is the importance of ethical considerations when doing qualitative research. Just like all research‚ qualitative research is a type
