the case for and against using a buffer stock scheme to stabilise the price of a commodity such as sugar or tin. A buffer stock scheme is an intervention carried out by the government which aims to limit fluctuations in the price of a commodity. It involves the government and/or local authorities buying these storage stocks and selling them back to the famer. Price stability is indicated by low inflation whereby the value of money is also stable. A buffer stock is an attempt at stabilising

pizzas have no value. The purpose of this report is to provide Tom with some information regarding how many of each type of pizza he should produce if he wants to achieve the highest expected profit from pizza sales at the game. II. Analysis In order to determine at which production level Tom will achieve the highest expected profit‚ it is first necessary to determine the potential profit or loss associated with producing at each demand level. To do this‚ a discrete probability distribution

Investigation into how pH levels affect Catalase activity in potato samples – (enzymes) Introduction: The aim of this investigation is to understand and monitor the effects pH levels have on catalase activity within controlled potato samples. Catalase is a type of enzyme that is found widespread among organisms that grow in the presence of oxygen (almost all living things) its specific use is to speed up the decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) within cells. Hydrogen peroxide is a bi-product

Research Question: How will an increase of FeSO4 concentration affect the activity of the enzyme catalase? Hypothesis: By increasing the concentration of FeSO4‚ there will be a decrease in the activity of the enzyme catalase because the Iron (ii) in the metallic ion will act as an inhibitor during the catalysis of the hydrogen peroxide into O2 and H2O. Introduction: We rely on oxygen to provide us with energy (ATP) and go through all the phases of aerobic respiration. However‚ oxygen can be

The Effect of Soil pH on the Living Conditions In Lumbricus terrestris Abstract The difference in soil pH weighs a heavy measure on the appearance of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris in different areas of soil. A highly acidic or highly alkaline soil may be the underlying reason for the absence of this earthworm in certain areas where pH plays a large role. In this experiment‚ soil pH was altered with Miracida soil acidifier and Agricultural Limestonea soil correctional for acidic soil

"Today there is no field where the women have not shown their worth. From holding highest public office in bureaucracy to holding highest political position‚ the women have shouldered all kinds of responsibilities with grand success. A lot of change has taken place‚ in their position in this man dominated society. With this gradual transition from household life to working women the sufferings of women have increased manifold."

The sources‚ "The World’s Highest Mountain" and "A Mountain of Garbage‚" are about Mount Everest. Both sources describe the challenges of climbing and the environment of Mount Everest‚ however they focus on different topics. First of all‚ "The World’s Highest Mountain" talks about Sir Edmund Hillary‚ who was the first person to climb to the summit of Mount Everest. He had a Sherpa guide‚ Tenzing Norgay‚ who had climbed Mount Everest many times‚ but never to the summit. The climb was very difficult

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to test if altering the pH of the milk will trigger a hydrophobic reaction. It will also give me a better understanding of the scientific method‚ hydrophobic reactions‚ and how pH affects substances. If the vinegar and salt are added to the heated milk‚ then the milk will curdle. I came to this conclusion based on common knowledge and the text introducing the experiment. I have not made cheese at home before‚ but I have made Hamburger Helper meals

NaCl Effects on Peroxidase Activity My experiment was to see if adding NaCl to solution would have any effects on peroxidase activity. The materials that were used in this experiment were pH 7 buffer(DI water)‚ peroxidase‚ NaCl‚ guaiacol and hydrogen peroxide; added in that order. Blanks were created for each NaCl concentration‚ 0%‚ 5%‚ 7.5% and 10%. Each cuvette had .5ml of pH 7 buffer‚ 1ml of peroxidase‚ .02ml guaiacol for the experimental cuvettes and 0ml of guaiacol for the blank cuvettes‚
