often‚ they use physical units to measure productivity and to measure the effect of improvements made‚ with the assumption that the improvements shown in physical productivity measures means improvement in overall productivity of the system and that assumed to mean reduction in the cost of production • • The type of productivity measures that involve physical units of output and physical units of resource inputs‚ such as quantity of materials as inputs and quantity of units as output‚ are partial

❶AGE PROBLEM In three more years‚ Miguel’s grandfather will be six times as old as Miguel was last year. When Miguel’s present age is added to his grandfather’s present age‚ the total is68. How old is each one now? This exercise refers not only to their present ages‚ but also to both their ages last year and their ages in three years‚ so labelling will be very important. I will label Miguel’s present age as "m" and his grandfather’s present age as "g". Then m + g = 68. Miguel’s age "last year"

Why Clean Code Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. With understandability comes readability‚ changeability‚ extensibility and maintainability. All the things needed to keep a project going over a long time without accumulating up a large amount of technical debt. optimal Responsiveness Smells Rigidity The software is difficult to change. A small change causes a cascade of subsequent changes. General Follow Standard Conventions Coding-‚ architecture-‚ design

way of investigating situations; scientists investigate by using the scientific method. The scientific method consists of: Observations and methods‚ Hypothesis‚ Experiments‚ Theory‚ and Law. (Shipman‚ 2013‚2009) Today we use two major systems of units the metric system and the British system. The most common one in the U.S would be the metric system. Using this system can determine anything‚ how fast a vehicle is speeding or the speed limit itself. You can determine how fast the vehicle was going

Density can be defined in a qualitative manner as the measure of the relative heaviness of objects with a constant volume or also as the amount per unit size. Apparatus In this experiment we used four apparatuses. We used 1 rectangular block of wood ‚ 1 triple beam balance calibrated ‚ 1 meter stick and 1 micrometer. Procedure In this experiment the first step we did was measured the block
