Basically, there should be a noticeable and systematic increase in the standard deviation based on an increase in size of the target circle, while the matching circle mean should stay close to the actual physical size of the target circle. In other words, it should be possible to see a progressive and regular increase in the standard deviation from a 10-, to a 30-, to a 50-pixel circle; and alternately, a systematic decrease in the standard deviation when moving in the opposite direction from…

Introduction: This paper introduces the existing state of carbon accounting in profit organisations in UK and Russia, and critically analyse the differences of carbon accounting policies applied in two countries. To better identify the issue, BG Group (in UK) and Gazprom (in Russia) are chosen as examples to compare the differences of measurement and disclosure on carbon emissions and greenhouse gas related activities. In the end, the motivations to improve the quality of disclosure are analysed…

Some of their climate-related challenges are ice loss, ocean 8 acidification, melting permafrost, rise in sea levels, late winter road storm, reduction in winter road season, increase in erosion, changes in wildlife and plant species diversity and distribution, reduced access to food, and prevalence of diseases. Reduction in winter road season often required food and fuel to be flown into these regions, leading to increased cost of food and fuel. The Northern communities emission of CO2 is…

in a review of experimental evaluations of PD programs in developed countries, Yoon et al. (2007) found that the academic achievement of students whose teachers participated in PD programs (about 49 hours of training on average) increased by 0.54 standard deviations compared to students whose teachers did not participate in PD. These positive findings lend credence to the efforts of policymakers from developing countries who are in favor of using PD to improve the quality of teaching in their…

starch digested, was overall quite consistent. The average values for tube 2 which was at 4°C and tube 3 at 24°C were 0.03 mg/mL and 0.24 mg/mL respectively. The corresponding standard deviation values for tube 2 and 3 were found to be 0.037 and 0.063 respectively. Finally the standard error for tube 2 was 0.012 and the standard error for tube 3 was 0.021. Following the second experiment that determined the concentration of starch digested, a t-test was performed with the data collected. The…

economy. By the year 2016, new cars and trucks would require an average fuel economy standard of 35.5 miles per gallon which would save a total of 1.8 billion barrels of oils over the life of the program. This would also allow the fuel economy to gain an average of more than five percent every year. Ultimately, there would be a 900 million metric tons of greenhouse emissions that would be reduced. The standards set up in this policy surpassed the CAFE Law that was passed by Congress in 2007.…

s is due to the radiofrequency energy emitted by cell phones (Senthil & Sakthi, 2015). Additional discoveries have found that the lead used to solder components from the cell phones together can cause damage to one’s central nervous system, as well as the immune and endocrine systems. Also, there are damaging developmental consequences to children’s brains (Zadok & Riikka, 2010). Researchers found that health risks include “headaches, difficulties in concentration, apathy, weakness and a…

A total of four hypotheses were examined using the following variables: feelings of tension and anxiety before and after watching a video in which a news story covered a student going to a college campus with the intent of harming people, perceived threat while watching the video, perceived threat while watching similar news coverages, the number of hours a day spent consuming news, and participant gender. First, to test the hypothesis that feelings of tension and anxiety will be higher after…

Moana Ola encourages a healthy post-2020 climate change target in line with keeping global warming below 2°C that is ambitious and achievable. As part of New Zealand’s contribution to the universal climate change agreement, an economy-wide target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. This type of commitment will require robust policies and coordinated action across the integrated sectors as determined by decisions of the UNFCCC Conference of the…
