The difference between the two graphs is that in the first graph (a), total revenue, Total cost and Profit have the straight line graphs. This implies that each graph has a linear function, that is, the total revenue (TR) function is given as; TR = Profit X Quantity, the total cost function TC = FC + VC. This functions takes a linear function of C = mX + C. where C is the y concept. On the other hand, the second graphs (b) illustrates that all the curves, Total Revenue, Total Cost and Profit, have a nonlinear functions (Zanoni, 2009). Another difference between the two graphs is that, ...

The pathophysiological template of an ischemic stroke involving the dominant left hemisphere of the brain is usually caused by the arterial occlusion resulting from a thrombus that embolized from a more proximal anatomical structure in the body that is closer to the brain, such as the heart and lungs and arterial plaques. The thrombus may cause a significant occlusion to the major intracranial arteries like the middle cerebral artery which carries the blood flow to the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes. A left middle cerebral artery stroke will manifest a right hemiplegia and hemiparesis with the upper extremities more significantly affected than the ...

He helps us understand and make predictions of how dependent variables would change when independent variables are altered. Scott Armstrong (2012) says that “the estimation target is a function is a function of the independent variables called the regression function” (p. 9).It is this regression function that gives the mathematical relationship between the various variables in the data set. He says too that characterizing the disparity of the dependent variable around the regression meaning can also be described by the probability function.

Abstract

Financial risk hedging and corporate management are important tools for non-financial corporations.

Moreover, hedging can lower agency costs of debt. The use of derivatives can be also explained by the managers’ behaviour towards risk. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the theoretical and empirical literature ...

Stone Formation in the Kidney/ Role of Citrate in the Kidneys

Kidney stones are calcified or solidified molecules taking place in the upper urinary tract and the kidney. Kidney stones are usually composed of calcium as oxalate, phosphate, or carbonate. Stone formation in the kidney happens when the amount of mineral salts in the urine becomes saturated, during which the mineral will automatically crystallize (Rao et al., 2011). Stone formation is further facilitated by increasing amount of calcium in urine and dehydration. High levels of calcium in urine can indicate kidney disorder, prolonged incapacitation, hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid, excessive intake of milk or aluminum and vitamin D. Stone formation in ...
