INTRODUCTION Conduction is defined as the transfer of energy from more energetic particles to adjacent less energetic particles as a result of interactions between the particles. In solids‚ conduction is the combined result of molecular vibrations

average cost and marginal cost curve? Answer: We usually assume that the Average Cost curve is U shaped The MC curve will intercept the AC curves at its minimum point. When AC is decreasing‚ MC lies below AC - because when MC is below AC‚ producing an extra unit of output will pull down average cots When AC is increasing‚ MC lies above AC - because when MC is above AC‚ producing an extra unit of output will raise average costs Therefore MC will intercept the AC curve at its minimum point The basic

1.0 Introduction In ecology‚ a species-area curve is a relationship between the area of a habitat‚ or of part of a habitat‚ and the number of species found within that area. Larger areas tend to contain larger numbers of species‚ and empirically‚ the relative numbers seem to follow systematic mathematical relationships. The species-area relationship is usually constructed for a single type of organism‚ such as all vascular plants or all species of a specific trophic level within a particular

Introduction The principle of the learning curve theory is process improvement. The process improvement will occur as a result of the repetitive nature of the tasks. This improvement can occur on an individual level and on an organizational level. “Learning curve theory is based on three assumptions: 1. The amount of time required to complete a given task or unit of a product will be less each time the task is undertaken. 2. The unit time will decrease at a decreasing rate. 3. The reduction

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

Enrico Tanuwidjaja∗ National University of Singapore‚ Department of Economics E-mail: g0305812@nus.edu.sg May 2004 Abstract The Phillips curve is generally been estimated in a linear framework‚ which implies a constant relationship between inflation and unemployment. Lately‚ there have been several studies‚ which claim that the slope of Phillips curve is function of macroeconomics conditions and that

The majority of the bulk carriers in service have been constructed before 1998 and generally do not have allowable hold mass curves. Pre-1998 bulk carriers engaged in multi-port

Any business environment on individual or organizational level can benefit from using the learning curve. Additionally‚ “learning curve theory is based on three assumptions: 1. The amount

Measuring inequality: Using the Lorenz Curve and Gini Coefficient 1. Introduction Almost thirty years ago‚ the author of this brief attended a lecture addressing the economics of inequality. At the start‚ the class was invited to imagine the implications of individual wealth being reflected in our personal height. Assume that by government decree‚ everyone has to march past a fixed point over the period of one hour‚ starting with the smallest people and ending with the largest. The parade
