Introduction In 1950 the Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded to Otto Diels and Kurt Alder for their description of an invaluable chemical reaction (The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1950). The reaction they described was for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in a six membered ring with exceptional control of its stereochemistry in one step (Diels-Alder Reaction Gains Nobel Prize). This was an important discovery due to the fact that six membered rings are abundant natural products and man-made…

has trimmed the company employees down below an acceptable level for conducting normal business operations. The lack of employees has produced an initial increase in monetary savings but the prolonged effects of not having adequate employees will yield a large decrease in the revenues over an extended period Fd gqert q4tq gqert notice a lack of employees manning the store. If you have a question about a product arted a joke Which started the whole I st someone down to assist you with your…

quite narrow as only 57 parental lines have been used for the development of varieties through hybridization (Kumar et al., 2004). Furthermore, the harvest index of pigeonpea varieties is very low about 20 percent. Therefore, quantum jump in pigeonpea yield has not been…

transitioned from polycropping to monocropping to increase efficiency, which resulted in crops that are less resistant to pests and disease. As a result, these companies resort to using pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers to keep their yield high. These chemicals can present a health risk to consumers and can cause major illnesses among farm workers. To reduce the need for pesticides and fertilizers, the agriculture industry has invested in genetically modified organisms, or…

Profitability Ratios The productivity of an organisation and its ability to produce profits is measured using profitability ratios (Žager, Sačer & Dečman 2012). Two ratios which measure profitability are net profit margin and gross profit margin. Another two ratios which assess how sufficiently assets are being used are the return on total assets and asset turnover. JB Hi-Fi’s net profit margin remained stable over the 5 year period with its lowest recorded result in 2012 with 4.74%. In 2015,…

agriculture (Abrams, Andy). Technically the earth produces enough food for everyone, but the food is not able to reach those who need food. University of California study found that “relatively small, and potentially overestimated, differences in yield between organic and conventional agriculture, despite…

longer supporting the economies of the peasant community. Land values have doubled creating a land rush; as a result, landlords have raised the tax to operate on their land leases based on this new value. As a result of the dam installation, higher yield makes the land more valuable. This changes the conditions of land rental and tenancy; outsiders can pay a…

“GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals,” (GMO facts). The rising argument on if GMOs should be put in our food, and if they are really safe is rising quickly all over the world. “In the U.S., GMOs are in as much as 80% of conventional processed food,” (GMO facts) so it is obviously not something that is easily ignored. Summary Want to Know if Your Food is Genetically…

construct result in reliable data (Trochim & Donnelly, 2008). Take for example a study to determine the effectiveness of a specific Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) medication for children ages 8-14 who are diagnosed with ADD, where the researchers yield consistent results for each participant for each dosage for the particular medication, but the participants are only children who do not have ADD. The results may be reliable, meaning the data being collected is consistent, but the research is…

peel date was obtained from my lab partner Irini Petros as cited in the references (2). From 2.486 grams of lemon peels, 0.11 grams of essential oil was collected for a percent yield of 4.43%. From 2.501 grams of orange peels, 0.12 grams of essential oil was collected for a percent yield of 4.80%. The difference in percent yield of the essential oils may…
