Mattel Property‚ Plant‚ and Equipment Property‚ plant‚ and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 10 to 40 years for buildings‚ 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment‚ and 10 to 20 years‚ not to exceed the lease term‚ for leasehold improvements. Tools‚ dies‚ and molds are amortized using the straight-line method over 3 years. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed

“What is a poisonous plant‚” one may ask. A poisonous plant is a something that is a toxic and can be harmful to humans‚ animals‚ and even insects. Poisonous plants exist because they may benefit a species‚ but may also be harmful to others. Many noxious plants can result in immense pain‚ sickness‚ disease‚ and mortality. Some of these plants include: the Atropa Belladonna‚ Brugmansia‚ and Ricinus Communis. The Atropa Belladonna emanates from Eurasia‚ which is located northeast of the United States

The factors affecting plant yield: light level Abstract The factors affecting Zea mays‚ maize (C4) and Pisum sativa‚ or pea (C3) plant yield and growth patterns placed under shade and full sunlight were investigated. 20 plantlets placed into four vermiculite compost pots (5 from each plantlet) and submitted to fertilizer or no fertilizer. And after 4 weeks the results showed that maize grown in light with no fertilizer had a higher relative growth rate and root to shoot ratio indicating the allocation

Brown English Comp 101 Carmen Hoover 9 February 2013 [Final Draft] Medicinal plants and herbs Throughout history plants and herbs have been used to heal the sick and dying‚ but with every type of medicine there is a power if magick. Because healing is a mind over matter‚ believing can cure or kill you. Medicinal plants and herbs have been around before the time of man. Prehistoric medicine incorporated plants‚ animal parts‚ and minerals. In many cases there materials were used ritually as

The Wonders of Plants Experiment 2 – Upside Down Mungbeans Experiment 3 – Plant Labyrinth 6/18/2015 Mt Gravatt State High School Trinity Wong Abstract Introduction: Plants can’t move like animals do but they respond to certain stimuli‚ making them change the direction in which they grow. Plants are very sensitive to their environment and have evolved many forms of "tropisms" in order to ensure their survival. A tropism is a growth movement whose direction is determined by the direction

In this review we will learn a lot of things about the effects of radiation in plants and some information about the plants and radiation. So as I go on my research I found out that‚ in moving from the water to the land‚ several living creatures had to subdue the number of problems. It must include the fortification against reproduction‚ fluid and nutrient transport‚ desiccation and ultraviolet radiation. So plants started from algae‚ it has been found in a long time photosynthesizing bacteria could

This paper is about how the plant cells and solar cells are similar to each other as well as how they are different to one another. In addition this paper explains how the laws of thermodynamics apply to each of the plant and solar cells system. Plant Cells and Solar Cells Photosynthesis is the process of producing and releasing oxygen in the air. It needs sunlight‚ carbon dioxide and

Introduction For this Science assignment‚ I chose to find out if the color of light a plant receives‚ affects the plant growth. Light is electromagnetic radiation that comes in waves‚ the basic units of which are called photons. Plants use light to turn carbon dioxide into sugars necessary for growth‚ a process called photosynthesis. Sunlight is a full spectrum of different wave lengths of light. Seen through a prism‚ this spectrum turns into bands of color: red‚ orange‚ yellow‚ green‚ blue‚ indigo
