seemingly intricate things in nature can be understood in terms of relatively straightforward mathematical relationships. These mathematical relationships are a recurring concept in the fields of Kinematics and Dynamics which focuses on ways in which objects/matter move whilst evaluating behaviours like displacement‚ acceleration and velocity (Wise Geek‚ 03-13). Kinematics derives its name from the Greek word for “motion” (kinema) (Sparknotes‚ 2011). This field is centred under a sub branch of mechanics

Sensitivity Analysis The variables used to develop the table‚ including sales price‚ variable costs‚ unit sales‚ and the unit growth rate‚ are all most likely‚ or base-case‚ values‚ and the resulting $25‚517 NPV shown in Part 5 is called the base-case NPV. Now we ask a series of "what if" questions: "What if unit sales falls 30 percent below the most likely level?" In our sensitivity analysis we hold the other variables at their base case levels and then examine the situation when the key variables

There’s been a lot of conflicting claims from the scientific community about Gluten Sensitivity. Some skeptics claim that there’s no convincing evidence for Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity‚ and that any adverse reactions are purely psychological if you don’t have Celiac Disease. We consumers have to be a bit skeptical when we’re looking at any research that makes bold‚ general claims such as this. Often‚ these studies are funded by companies who have vested interest in certain outcomes‚ and this

INTRODUCTION: THE THINGS THAT MATTER Sherry Turkle I grew up hoping that objects would connect me to the world. As a child‚ I spent many weekends at my grandparents’ apartment in Brooklyn. Space there was limited‚ and all of the family keepsakes—including my aunt’s and my mother’s books‚ trinkets‚ souvenirs‚ and photographs—were stored in a kitchen closet‚ set high‚ just below the ceiling. I could reach this cache only by standing on the kitchen table that I moved in front of the closet. This

Price Sensitivity Model In the 1970s‚ Dutch economist Peter H. van Westendorp introduced a simple method to assess consumers’ price perception. It is based on the premise that there is a range of prices bounded bya maximum that a consumer is prepared to spend and a minimum below which credibility is indoubt. The Price Sensitivity Meter (sometimes called the Price Sensitivity Measurement) is based on respondents’ answers to four price-related questions. A simple and easily executable

(1 )The term‘lexicology’is composed of 2 Greek morphemes:lexis denoting‘word’/logos denoting‘leaning’.In modern linguistics lexicology is one of the branches of science dealing with different properties of words and the vocabulary of a language.The term‘word’denotes the basic unit of a language‚it’s a structural and semantic entity within the language system

THE OBJECT OF LEXICOLOGY Lexicology (from Gr lexis ‘word’ and logos ‘learning’) is the part of linguistics dealing with the vocabulary of the language and the properties of words as the main units of language. The term v o c a b u l a-r y is used to denote the system formed by the sum total of all the words and word equivalents that the language possesses.
