Results In order to examine the differences in metaphorical language use of the experimental group and the control group at the beginning of the metaphor awareness treatment, an independent samples t-test was conducted for the data gathered from the participants’ recent writing test. The statistical analysis indicated that there was not a significant difference in the metaphorical language use of experiment group (M = 1.59; SD = .70) and control (M = 1.44; SD = 1.00); t (43) = .58, p = .56.…

The U.S. Supreme Court denied the case of Swain vs. Alabama’s appeal in 1965. Swain was a black man convicted of raping a white women in Talladega, Alabama, which sentenced him to death. The court that found him guilty consisted of an all white jury. However, the Supreme Court still denied the appeal because the jury had been selected from a panel consisting of 100 men over the age of 21 that had 8 black men on it. They decided that the difference in the proportion of the black men over 21 on…

3. Results and discussion 3.1. Effect of pH on the percent extraction values of Sn(II) by SbS-DET. The effect of pH of reacting species such as metal ions and ligands for the formation of metal complexes is known to play a significant role in their removal and extraction processes [24]. To evaluate and identify the possible contribution of pH value of metal ion on the SbS-DET process for the formation of Sn(II)–(8HQ)2 complex via complexation and removal of Sn(II) from aqueous…

Wason Selection tasks What if there are 4 cards on the table: A, K, 2 and 7. On one side of the card there is a number and on the other a letter. You have to decide which cards to turn in order to determine if the following statement is false: If a card has a vowel on one side, then it has an even number on the other side. This is called the Wason Selection task a famous reasoning puzzle (Dawson, Gilovich, Regan, 2002). The answer to this problem is cards A and 7 instead of the most commonly…

4.1 Moisture Analysis of Rice Bran At certain time within 30- 45 days of treated rice bran showed decrement of moisture ( Jayaraman et.al., 1994). Thus, with the range of 30 to 45 days of storage, 40 days was chosen in this studies. The result obtained from study shown in Figure 4.1 and Figure 4.2. There are two groups of comparison; stabilized and unstabilized group. Based on the result obtained, the moisture of rice bran with different types (Bario, lowland and upland), content shows small…

Total edible oil consumption (TEO) is the dependent variable, and the independent variables are Household size(HS), Household income(HI), Household education Index(HEI), Price(P),Total Awareness score on oil(TAS) and the Ratio of Total oil expenditure to Total food expenditure (R) .θ is the disturbance term, α is the intercept term and a, b, c, d, e and f are the corresponding coefficients of the independent variables. Based on the survey data obtained from 360 respondents a regression model is…

The data pertaining to the study was collected from 30 teaching…

Objective (v) Seeks to estimates a supply response model for palm oil in Nigeria inclusive of price and non-price factors. In other to estimate the supply response for Nigeria palm oil production, the model of Ayanwale et al, (2011) was used, with slight modification. The supply equation is specified as a function of the production of palm oil, price of palm oil, price of competitive crop (soyabean), harvested area, rainfall in year t (mm) as climate element, interest rate, exchange rate, palm…

Hue, Saturation, and Intensity are represented as HSI in HSI colour model. The HSI model is used as an alternative to, or alongside the RGB representation. In this model, the hue of a colour is its angle measure on a colour wheel. Pure red have hue value as 0°, pure green have hue value as 120°, and pure blues have hue value as 240°. Neutral colours like white, grey, and black are set to hue value 0° for feasibility. Intensity is total brightness of the colour and also defined numerically as the…

First we will provide some information about Malta and the uninhabited islands before discussing the instruments and the multi-criteria analysis. Malta’s land area is 316 square kilometres. The three biggest uninhabited islands are: Malta, Gozo and Comino, but there are way more. St Paul’s Island (0,101 km2), Cominotto (0,099 km2), Halfa Rock (two meters above sea-level), Old Battery’s Rock, Lantern Point Rock (height of 7 meters), Large Blue Lagoon Rock, Small Blue Lagoon Rocks, Devil’s End…
