Producer Price Index (PPI). The WPI was first published in 1902‚ and was one of the more important economic indicators available to policy makers until it was replaced by the PPI in 1978. The change to Producer Price Index in 1978 reflected‚ as much as a name change‚ a change in focus of this index away from the limited wholesaler-to-retailer transaction to encompass all stages of production. While the WPI is no longer available‚ the family of producer price indexes provides a close counterpart in the Finished

Interpretation of “My Number” by Billy Collins Billy Collins’ poem‚ “My Number” combines the use of personification and imagery to illustrate the uneasy feeling of uncertainty in regard to Death and its imminence. The persona is waiting in constant fear for Death’s arrival‚ as he is clearly not ready for Death to find him. Collins uses personification in the first stanza when he writes the following: Is Death… reaching for a widow in Cincinnati or breathing down the neck of a lost hiker in

Perfect numbers Mathematicians have been fascinated for millenniums by the properties and patterns of numbers. They have noticed that some numbers are equal to the sum of all of their factors (not including the number itself). Such numbers are called perfect numbers. A perfect number is a whole number‚ an integer greater than zero and is the sum of its proper positive devisors‚ that is‚ the sum of the positive divisors excluding the number itself. Equivalently‚ a perfect number is a number that is

Graham’s number‚ named after Ronald Graham‚ is a large number that is an upper bound on the solution to a certain problem in Ramsey theory. The number gained a degree of popular attention when Martin Gardner described it in the "Mathematical Games" section of Scientific American in November 1977‚ writing that‚ "In an unpublished proof‚ Graham has recently established ... a bound so vast that it holds the record for the largest number ever used in a serious mathematical proof."

ABSTRACT Reynolds number can be defined as a number of varieties of situations where a fluid is in relative with motion to a surface. This experiment is to observe the behavior of the flow of fluid either it is laminar or turbulent by calculating it’s Reynolds number and the characteristic of the flow. Other than that‚ the range for laminar and turbulent flow can be calculated and the theory that Reynolds number is dimensionless can be proven. The pump is opened to let the water flow. The dye

Oxidation Number When elements combine to produce a compound‚ each element is assigned an “apparent” charge. This apparent charge‚ the charge an atom would have if both electrons in each bond were assigned to the more electronegative element‚ may be positive or negative. It is called the oxidation number or state of the element in the compound. Oxidation numbers are very useful in keeping track of what happens to electrons when various elements combine to form compounds. By remembering a few

geometric shapes‚ which lead to special numbers. The simplest example of these are square numbers‚ such as 1‚ 4‚ 9‚ 16‚ which can be represented by squares of side 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ and 4. Triangular numbers are defined as “the number of dots in an equilateral triangle uniformly filled with dots”. The sequence of triangular numbers are derived from all natural numbers and zero‚ if the following number is always added to the previous as shown below‚ a triangular number will always be the outcome: 1 = 1
