Introduction: Basal Metabolic Rate has been defined as the minimum amount of energy needed by an animal to maintain the basic functions of survival (such as breathing). Several factors including age‚ gender‚ weight‚ and exercise affect the BMR. "BMR increases with increasing muscle tissue" therefore‚ exercising will enhance BMR while with increasing age‚ BMR is reduced (Scott‚ 2008). Also gender differences exist between males and females; it has been shown that males have higher BMRs

CRIB Score based on CAMEL Rating: 73.166 (Credit Rating: A‚ Modest Risk) Detailed calculations are shown in subsequent sections. I. Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR) II. Base Rate What is Base Rate? Starting July 1‚ 2010‚ RBI had introduced a new Base Rate system which will set the interest rates for the bankers to lend their borrowers. It is the minimum rate of interest that a bank is allowed to charge

Indicators – Vital Rates Vital Rate Definition/Explanation Calculated by… Example Birth Rate Dividing the total number of births in a year by the population and multiplying by 1000. Total number of births in the US (2008) = 4‚247‚694 Total population US = 307‚006‚550 Birth Rate = ___________ (per 1000) Death Rate Dividing the total number of deaths in a year by the population and multiplying by 1000. Death rate UK (2008) = _______________ per 1000 people Death rate in Botswana (2008)

Investigative Quest The purpose of this experiment was to find out how music affects the female human heart rate. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that female resting heart rate will increase as the music tempo increases. If the tempo is slower the heart rate will stay at resting heart rate or decrease. Variables The variables used in this experiment were: • The tempo of the music. • The subject’s heart rate. • The subject’s age. Controls The controls used in this experiment were: • How long the subject

VARIABLE-RATE PREFERRED STOCK Preferred stock has frequently been issued in connection with mergers and acquisitions. Often the preferred stock is issued with a conversion feature‚ so in the long run there is a probability it will become common stock capital. Preferred stock allows the acquired firm’s owners a prior claim relative to common stock and reasonably definite dividends while simultaneously giving the acquiring firm a form of leverage without strapping it with the rigid obligations of

environments affecting the rate of reaction‚ PNPP (p-nitrophenyl phosphate) + H20 ? PNP (p-nitrophenol) + H3P04. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphatase. Different environments produced different reaction rates as environmental factors affect the efficiency of phosphatase. This is because environmental factors can change the tertiary structure of phosphatase‚ which alters its active site‚ and thus changes its efficiency to catalyze the reaction. We measured the rate of reaction‚ by using

LCT and UCT causes the endotherm’s metabolic rate to increase. We can hypothesize that when the temperature falls below the LCT or above the UCT‚ the percent O2 consumption will increase‚ and thus‚ the metabolic rate. The hypothesis was supported by the result received in this lab. The thermal neutral zone (TNZ) of an endotherm is its temperature tolerance range. For the mouse‚ this is about room temperature. It is seen that in the TNZ‚ the metabolic rate decreases from about 1.75 to 1 (Fig 1). During

Unemployment Rate in Japan. Figure 1.2 Labor participation rate for total‚ male and female. Figure 1.1 Shows unemployment rate is on the upward rising trend since year 1980 to year 2008. An increase in unemployment is seen from year 1980 to year 1986‚ then follow by a slight decrease in year 1987 to 1991 and continue to increase steadily from year 1992 to 2002 reaching a record of 5.4% high unemployment rate in year 2002. However‚ from year 2003 to 2008‚ a decrease in unemployment rate is observed

Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate Aim: To use a simple reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid to discover concentration this determines how fast chemical reactions occur. Independent Variable: Concentration of hydrochloric acid (%) Dependent Variable: Time taken for chemical reaction to take place (sec) Hypothesis: My prediction is that the increased concentration of the thiosulfate will in turn lead to an increase in the rate of reaction. This is a well informed
