It is considered to be a beer drinking nation, because this beverage is consumed much more than wine or sprits. About 51 percent of money spent on alcohol goes on beer. Most people only ever drink socially. This means that they avoid binge drinking and rarely suffer from any negative consequences as a result of their intake. A social drinker has no problem…

discussions of employment in Canada, a controversial issue has been whether there is demand a demand for jobs in the skilled trade sector. One one hand, some argue that the sector is already saturated and has no need for increased education and training. On the other hand, however, others argue that the development of skilled trades is failing and will lead to a collapse in the trade sector. The Ontario Chamber of Commerce [OCC] is one of the main proponents of this view in Canada. They state…

Refugee youth in particular struggle in accessing PSE. In 2011, youth who immigrated to Canada before the age of 15 had high school and university completion rates that were higher than those of third- or higher-generation Canadians. However, another Statistics Canada report found that children of refugees had a much lower completion of university than children of economic migrants and skilled workers. A study from York University states that a large and growing percentage of refugees have…

‘melting pot’ have emerged in North America as concepts to explain Canada and the United States’ relationship with immigration and cultural pluralism. Canada is often referred to as a mosaic due to its rich multiculturalism, while the US is considered a "Melting Pot". Like a mosaic, Canada celebrates and honors various cultural groups while the US wants citizens to "melt" and assimilate into one culture -- the American culture. In Canada, multiculturalism contributes and establishes Canadian…

Regression Method Based on the data we collected, our expected regression equation is: Walmart revenue = β0 – β1CPI + β2CSI + β3ECOM – β4GAS + β5POP –β6INT – β7UNEMP + β8EARN Then we ran the regression on Minitab and got an actual regression equation. We used the method (i.e. five questions and nine problems) to evaluate the equation Minitab produced. For each of the nine problems, we ask five questions: What is the problem? How can I detect it? What are the consequences of the problem? What are…

1. a. The data set consist of 44 female and 53 males. b. There are 21 people under the age range of 13-35, which account for 21.6% of the total 97 in the sample. c. The mean level of the hour spent in the office during week 2 is 47.47 hours, with the standard deviation of 17.06. The distribution is slightly negative skew (-0.237), although in an acceptable range suggest that slightly more samples spend more hours in office than the average. The distribution’s value for kurtosis (-1.005)…

Introduction Antibiotics were initially thought of as a superior drug that could kill many bacterial diseases. Prior to antibiotics, it was hard for anyone to fight a bacteria. However, bacteria are very changing and have begun being able to gain resistance against antibiotics due to overuse, not strong enough dosage of antibiotics, or improper use. By determining the resistance and cross-resistance, one may determine the the relative ability for bacteria to gain resistance to antibiotics. We…

Metabolism is a complex process in organisms that convert the food into energy for organism to function properly. Metabolic rate is typically defined as the amount of energy the organism is currently using to maintain the activity (Perkin, 2015). Since metabolism is a key in sustaining the organisms’ life, we decided to investigate the experiment about metabolic rate caterpillar, Manduca sexta. There are many techniques used to measuring the metabolic rate, but there are only best method that…

In radiation therapy, bolus is a modality that helps compensate for differences in body contours, stop skin sparring, and to raise dose buildup on the patient’s skin (Washington, p. 171). Bolus is a tissue equivalent material, but there is not just one type of bolus. Superflab is a commercial bolus that most clinical sites use, but other bolus variations are also available for use. There is no study that compares Superflab, neon green Play-Doh, orange Play-Doh, and uncooked rice for providing…

DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Data Collection This study uses a unique dataset, which is a subset of the data that has been used by Bhansali and Zhu [12]. The dataset includes estimated IT expenditure of 329 large companies for 2005. The data was collected by phone interviews using a questionnaire designed by the research team. The questionnaire was distributed to the participants before interviews. The data was collected from approximately 600 firms; since some of these organizations are…
