The study we chose to be looking at is the data set for American beers. Our main focus of the data set will be studying what affects the total amount of calories in a beer. A calorie is simply a unit of heat energy that fuels our body. The variables in our data set are the percentage of alcohol and the amount of carbohydrates in each beer. The goal of this analysis is to predict how the amount of carbohydrates and the total percentage of alcohol would result in a higher or lower caloric amount…

Gases, solids, and liquids are the three states that a substance can exist as. A gas does not maintain shape and volume. Gases expand to fit and fill the container. While a liquid maintains volume, but not shape and fits the shape of the container it is placed in. Solids can maintain both volume and shape. When a gas exerts force on the walls of a container, this is known as its pressure. Pressure varies based on temperature and volume. Many gas laws were used within this experiment, such as…

the US total tax rate is lower at around 27.4 percent. A cultural aversion to taxation and rampant loopholes in the tax code, likely account for the lower overall tax rate. Our probability value of 3.4 percent shows that the relationship between x and y is too strong to be ignored, however the number shows that many other factors are involved in deciding what the total tax rate will be. I believe that the relationship between total tax rates and conservative party control of cabinet seats, is…

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND STUDY Wastewater in the textile , plastic, paper and cosmetics industry is a major threat to the environment. The volume of wastewater produced starts from different processes throughout from the pretreatments to the final treatment. The contents found in the wastewater are complex, having inorganic and organic compound chemicals in it and aquatic lives are at risk. Some of these wastes have even caused mutation in genetic coding of the marine…

Enzymes are important substances made by the cells of plants and animals. There are called catalysts, which are substances that control how quickly chemical reactions occur without interfering at the reaction products (Daja and Treska 2015). Structure of both the enzyme and substrate, the substance on which an enzyme acts; provides clues as to how an anticipated reaction can be favored by the alignment of catalytic residues (Johnson 2008). The reaction of an enzyme is represented as: In…

By utilizing heat transfer from the hot combustion gases we can determine temperature distribution in the nozzle. If the temperature distribution and heat flux which are time dependent are given on the surface of wall we can find internal temperature distribution. This problem can be classified as direct heat problem. However many heat transfer problems which occur in practical take transient measurements at more than one location to find heat flux and temperature distribution on the wall. This…

DISCUSSION Nelson et al, 2008, state “all enzymes that exhibit a hyperbolic dependence of V0 on [S] are said to follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics”. The data gathered from this experiment and plotted in figure 6 shows that it is this pattern shown in the reaction of PNPP to PNP catalysed by acid phosphatase, where a hyperbolic curve is observed in the graph of rate of reaction against substrate concentration, approaching the Vmax asymptotically. Acid phosphatase behaved congruently to the…

Each experiment yielded its own unique set of observations, calculations and results. The first experiment studied the relationship between volume and pressure, while keeping the amount of the gas sample and temperature constant. Table 1 shows the atmospheric pressure recorded during the experiment. Atmospheric Pressure (mm Hg) 644.0 mm Hg Table 1. Atmospheric pressure was recorded using barometer in lab next door. This atmospheric pressure is of the lab next door, and is not the atmospheric…

looked at me and said, “The o was making the number look bigger.” I smiled at him and said, “Oh! That makes so much sense. Good job for figuring that out.” James didn’t respond. He continued to look down at his paper and finished solving for x and y. The next problem in the packet was a graph. I read the problem, while James looked at the question. He said, “What am I supposed to do?” [James says this a lot. He says he doesn’t know how to do problems, but in most cases he solves them…

This indicates that momentum and traded liquidity are not the omitted variables and not related to risk factors of mutual funds. Fama-French model cannot be improved though five-factor model. Compared this three models, Fama-French model has highest adjusted R-square and lowest probability of F-statistic. Therefore, the most suitable model to capture the performance of mutual funds is Fama-French model. However, Fama-French model is not so good. Firstly, the β of ExRm and HML is insignificant,…
