In the study conducted by authors Alex B. Van Zant and Laura J. Kray, they explored on the concept of truthfulness and honesty. In the study, the researchers stated their objective as attempting to limit the incidence by which people lie.

After reading the Green Dreams article, the best biofuel is the cellulose-produced biofuel. This is primarily because the production is not dependent on food crops like other ethanol production processes that use corn, soybeans, or sugarcane. Accordingly, rather than use the kernels to produce ethanol, it is possible to use the cellulose that is found in corn plants. As such, cellulose-focused biofuel production does not compete with food crops. Accordingly, the production of ethanol using cellulose is safer because it reduces the rate of global warming considerably taking into consideration that it involves use of heat and acid then ...

Major Purpose and Problem Defined

Courses in communication, especially introductory courses, are generally taught in a large classroom setting with lectures aligned to teach basic concepts to the students. These classroom settings are aligned such because there are several constraints, such as costs and budgets because of which lecture settings are best suited for introductory communication courses. However, these instructional settings then limit interaction and dialogue as well in teaching. This poses a number of problems despite the advocacy by a number of researchers that dialogue in communication courses is important. One such problem is that in a larger classroom, such as a lecture hall, dialogue is not possible ...

The influx of prisoners into the jails of Los Angeles County has caused its population to increase significantly over the last few months. This has forced the officials to look for places in the Central valley to house the prisoners. The program, “realignment”, has led to the relocation of more than 5,000 prisoners who would have otherwise been housed in jails in Los Angeles. The jail system of the county is the largest in the nation and currently has a population of around 18,600 prisoners. Overcrowding will be a problem if the officials fail to find other locations for ...

This resource highlights robotic surgery for women and identifies better outcomes. Basically, the article makes a reference to the better result of robot surgery since the approach offers a surgeon a magnified 3-D view with excellent imaging of extremely small blood vessels. While doctors make long incision in an open surgery which makes patients profusely bleed and take time to heal, robot surgery facilitates faster recovery and reduced blood loss. However, the article notes increased operating time and higher cost ...

The study aims to address and evaluate the influence of age on second-language acquisition. It revealed the critical period hypothesis for the second language (L2) acquisition. According to Flege, Munro and Mackay, in examining the immigrant populations, participants’ age of arrival (AOA) in the host country forms a very vital and important part. AOA is an important factor or determinant to gauge the degree of foreign accent as well as degree of accuracy in the pronunciation of L2 and the study intents to confirm this widely accepted belief.

According to Ozores-Hampton et al (2002), greenhouse pot trials conducted using immature and mature Municipal Solid Waste-biosolids (MSW) composts as a mulch decreased the percentage emergence and increased MDE (Mean Days to Emergence) of the seeds of several weed species. The greater the depth of composts, the more pronounced were the beneficial effects. Also, it was found that the immature composts, having higher percentages of acetic acid, required less depth of mulch to have the same effect. However, it was noted that the immature compost use would be most suitable where: a) the vegetable crop and the ...

1. Do you think Randy has sufficiently categorized his salespeople for motivational purposes? Why or why not? Is it practicable to provide non-financial incentives to motivate salespeople in each of the four career stage groups?

Categorization of salespeople always involves a trade-off between over-generalization and the practical applicability of these categories for HR strategy development. It is always possible to find additional sub-categories that reflect more precisely the peculiarities of the sales force of a firm or that capture individual needs of the employees. Thus, introducing a separate category for working mothers could help to address the needs of this group in a better way. However, extensive categorization would increase complexity of HR policies and would make it hard to develop and execute an HR strategy in an effective and cost-efficient way. Therefore, the decision of Randy Stuart ...

Analytical methods to evaluate seed dormancy in legumes

Abstract
Legumes are known to have multiple health benefits. The seed coat in particular contains a number of bioactive compounds which possess antioxidant activity. Of great interest is the relationship between the chemical composition of the seed coat and its role in seed dormancy. Modern technological approaches are currently used to further identify these compounds and determine their role in seed development; these include NRIS FTIR, mass spectroscopy, electron microscopy and chromatography. The following review describes the constituents of the legume seed coat and their respective roles in dormancy and other stages of seed development. The review also highlights ...

The newly developed SASB allowed companies to take into consideration external events (Eccles, 2016) that cannot be controlled such as the effects of climate change. The reason for the accounting standard addition is that governments cannot ignore the effects on industrial markets and their investors (Eccles, 2016). The value of accounting standards is that it allows individuals, companies, and governments to generate wealth since it allows financial performance comparisons (Eccles, 2016). The problem is that there was no previous standard developed for nonfinancial performances (Eccles, 2016) especially on environmental and social activities.
