Senior Lecturer‚ Faculty of Business Auckland University of Technology‚ Auckland‚ New Zealand Abstract This paper examines the development of positive accounting theory (PAT) and compares it with three standard accounts of science: Popper (1959)‚ Kuhn (1996)‚ and Lakatos (1970). PAT has been one of the most influential accounting research programs during the last four decades. One important reason which Watts & Zimmerman (1986) have used to popularize and legitimize their approach is that their

The Identification and Production of Materials 1. Fossil fuels provide both energy and raw materials such as ethylene‚ for the production of other substances. Students Learn To: .2 Identify the industrial source of ethylene from the cracking of some of the fractions from the refining of petroleum. • Ethylene is produced either from natural gas or crude oil‚ which are mixtures of hydrocarbons. One method involves… Cracking: a process by which hydrocarbons with higher molecular

THE 4 QUALITIES OF GOOD WATER by Dr. Robert O. Young There are many measurements of water‚ but the most important for determining the best water to drink are‚ the pH‚ oxidative reduction potential—or energy potential/activity—molecular structure‚ and purity. Science has helped us to determine that the best measurements for our drinking water are the pH and purity‚ but little understood is the importance of the molecular structure of water. Assuming that most waters that humans are drinking

or wrong hands‚ this could be great liability to Riordan. "Lawsuits alone would easily exceed $10 million and the cost of staff to find and reenter paper records would be enormous and certainly would take more than a few weeks" (Dennis‚ Wixom‚ & Roth‚ 2009). Processes: the application process‚ as well as other processes‚ would definitely take advantage from using third-party software. This would permit Riordan Manufacturing to have a security guarantee as well as a warrantee from the third-party

test‚ bromine test and basic oxidation test were conducted to fully differentiate each type of hydrocarbon from one another. Nitration tests resulted to three positive outcomes and two negative outcomes. A positive outcome in the nitration test shows that the hydrocarbon is aromatic while a negative outcome is aliphatic. In the bromine test‚ the results showed that there is one saturated aliphatic while the other is unsaturated aliphatic. In the last test (basic oxidation test)‚ all five hydrocarbons
