1. According to the case‚ if using ABC‚ Wilkerson should pool overheads into five activities: machine-related expenses‚ setup labor cost‚ receiving and production control cost‚ engineering cost‚ and packaging and shipping cost. The cost pool/cost driver information for an Activity Based Costing (ABC) system for Wilkerson has already provided by table 1. Based on the information on table 1 and four exhibit in case‚ we can figure out that the total cost per unit of valves‚ pumps and flow controllers

The Time Machine The history of this short novel is imformational. It shows Wells developing and exploring the idea consistently over several years‚ as his rate of production would restrain him from ever doing again. In many ways‚ The Time Machine is his most complete work; a thorough development of the Darwinian ideas he had absorbed at the Normal School of Science and that would form the bedrock of everything else he did throughout his career.

The α-β phase transition occurs at 980K. In terms of lattice symmetry‚ α-FePO4 exhibits a trigonal lattice system‚ whereas β-FePO4 exhibits a hexagonal lattice system. In terms of space symmetry‚ α-FePO4 belongs to the P3121 space group‚ while β-FePO4 belongs to the P6422 space group. The reason why α-FePO4 and β-FePO4 are

1 Introduction In recent years‚ the sliding mode control system has been widely used for robust control of nonlinear systems (the author Slotine and Li‚ 1991). The sliding mode control‚ based on the theory of variable structure systems‚ has attracted a lot of investigate on control systems for the last two decades. A comprehensive survey on variable structure control was given in Hung and other. (1993). The salient advantage of sliding mode control is robustness against structured and unstructured
