Weight loss was calculated by the following formula as described by Akhtar et al (2010) Weight loss % = (a - b/a) * 100 Where a and b represent initial and final weight respectively. 2.2 Overall Acceptability (OAA) - Overall Acceptability of the fruit was judged by panel of 5 judges. The fruits were judged on the basis of color, texture and taste. For this, 4 point scale was used. 4= excellent, 3= good, 2=fair, 1=poor. The samples were rated according to deep red colour, crisp texture and…

Main motives to be present in South-East Asia The Company Shell was created because its founder Mister Zijiker found oil in South-East Asia (Sumatra) in 1883 and since then Shell is active in getting petroleum and natural gas from this region. Due to technological innovations in the industry, the political developments in these countries surrounding Southeast Asia and the arising of Japan as a hotspot for petroleum trade operations led that nowadays Southeast Asia has become the most active area…

2.3 The Interpretation of the Symbolism (4-5) ד כִּי יָמִים רַבִּים, יֵשְׁבוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל--אֵין מֶלֶךְ וְאֵין שָׂר, וְאֵין זֶבַח וְאֵין מַצֵּבָה; וְאֵין אֵפוֹד, וּתְרָפִים. ה אַחַר, יָשֻׁבוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וּבִקְשׁוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם, וְאֵת דָּוִיד מַלְכָּם; וּפָחֲדוּ אֶל-יְהוָה וְאֶל-טוּבוֹ, בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים. {פ} 4 For the Israelites shall remain many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or teraphim. 5 Afterward the…

6.5 Granger Causality Granger causality statistics determine whether past values of one variable helps to predict another variable. For example, if the lagged value of the independent variable X, help in predicting the value of the explanatory variable Y_(t+1), then X granger causes the Y. On the other hand, if the independent variable X does not help to predict Y, then the coefficients on the lags of X will all be zero in the reduced form Y equation. 7. Empirical results 7.1 Optimal lag…

Cellular respiration is “The series of metabolic processes by which living cells produce energy through the oxidation of organic substances” (dictionary.com). These metabolic processes are fueled through O2 consumption. The equation of cellular respiration is as follows: C6H12O6 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O + ATP (Pidwirny). The actual pathways of cellular respiration are glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and oxidative-phosphorylation (Campbell pg. 166). The big picture problem is the rate at which this…

The mean weight of the 51 galls preyed upon by birds (1.31g with standard error ±0.06g and standard deviation ±0.46g, range 0.4g-2.4g) was larger than the mean weight of the 33 galls that were not preyed upon by birds (1.12g with standard error ±0.06g and standard deviation ±0.32g, range 0.4g-1.8g, p=0.0304) (Figure 4). The mean weigh of the galls preyed upon by birds was found to be significantly larger than the…

Living Between Two Worlds Dayton Kwok Introduction As an American born Chinese, I’ve always had to switch between using English and Chinese. This is especially exacerbated since I lived in San Francisco, a city dominated by immigrants hailing from Southern China and Hong Kong. One moment I’m using English to talk to my friends, and the next moment I’m using Cantonese to talk to my family. My native language was English, but I also learned to speak Cantonese around the same time I learned to…

should be at close to $25.00 per hour (Dalton, week 6). The interquartile range pros are that it more accurately represents the majority of data. Its cons are it ignores the most extreme data points. The variance is mainly used in calculating the standard deviation. The pros are that it helps us get an idea of…

Strength All the data obtained from this experiment is plotted on the graph. The accuracy and precision can be determined from the graph. Based on the graph , as the line do not pass the origin , it can be deducted that the result is fairly accurate. Since there are few outliers on the graph , the precision of this graph is moderate. Accuracy of the graph is affected by systematic errors while the precision is affected by random errors. A few measures had been taken prior in getting more…

Reformers have always challenged the government in some way and during the Progressive Era their ideas were able to influence the U.S. on a national level. Women were quite determined to be treated rightfully and fought for many other social, economic, and political issues. The Progressive Era from 1900-1920 was a response to a multitude of injustices which were caused by rapid industrialization and urbanization. Many Americans were in fear of the economic and political power that the upper…
