Francis Ysidro Edgeworth, an Oxford Scholar, contributed the law of error of normal distribution and developed an early version of the T distribution (Edgeworth).

biological processes because they are capable of lowering the activation energy of a chemical reaction. By lowering the activation energy enzymes are able to speed up reactions allowing for multiple chemical processes to occur at a faster rate in many living organisms. Enzymes work by binding to specific molecules called substrates.

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.…
