a) Statement of the problem is to identify whether there is a difference in the intercepts or slopes or both by the use additive and multiplicative dummies. In this case, an additive dummy will be used to identify whether intercepts in the different sets differ while a multiplicative dummy will be used to find any difference in slopes.

b) Literatures reviewed include the testing of the intercepts and differential slopes in order to identify whether they are statistically significant or insignificant. Inorder to test for statistical significance or insignificance of the differential slopes, the intercept for the entire data had to ...

Introduction

The series of recessions that have occurred in the past decades have raised several questions about the effectiveness of the various existing measures of recession, some of which use a comprehensive set of indicators. A number of analysts have stressed that financial market indicators provide a more effective predictions about recession. In this respect the predictive capacity of the bond yield curve have received much attention in recent times. The current discussion sheds some light on the predictive capacity of the yield curve and the associated term spread. Current scenario is studied in terms of the yield curve obtained from present ...

Airport Management and Improving Efficiency

Airports are like gateways of the modern world. The aviation industry has contributed in bringing the world together and enabling globalization to be effective in a major way. It is through the airplanes that people could travel long distances between countries quickly and with improved safety. Airports are where the airplane reaches and the passengers get down to get going to each of their works- either business or pleasure.

With the extent to which the air travel has expanded, it has resulted in the airports to become large and have to handle huge volumes of ...

Abstract

This paper explores how research methodologies can be used to resolve organizational issues. Using Starbucks as the company of focus, this paper discusses the qualities of qualitative and quantitative research and how they can be used for investigation and analysis in an organizational setting. It is hypothesized, for instance, that the decline in Starbucks’ sales as well as the poor performance of some of its stores is due to poor customer service. The concept of customer service, however, is too abstract to measure directly. However, this hypothesis can be determined using qualitative research methods as opposed to the quantitative ...

The linear equation was created on the basis of two points in 1998 and 2000. He equation shows that there is a positive relationship between the number of ...

On November 1, 2014 29-year-old Brittany Maynard committed suicide to spare herself a long drawn-out death from a stage 4 malignant brain tumor. Unlike many other Americans who commit suicide, Maynard announced her decision online weeks prior to her death and brought the issue of euthanasia into national headlines. Maynard’s family and physicians will not face charges because Maynard happened to live in Oregon, one of only five states that allows doctor-assisted euthanasia. The other states are Montana, Washington, Vermont and New Mexico. Maynard, originally from California, had to move herself and her family to Oregon in order to legally ...

Introduction

A mudslide is a specific variant of a landslide, a term which describes “a wide variety of processes that result in the downward and outward movement of slope-forming materials including rock, soil, artificial fill, or a combination of these.”(Highland & Johnson, 2004). Of the different types of landslides described, the type known as “earthflow” includes the sub-category “mudflow” – the subject of this research paper. The following paragraphs will describe mudflows (or mudslides) and a number of the issues surrounding them.

There has been mixed reaction on the determinants of the annual income of truck drivers in the US. Women lobby groups argue that gender significantly determine wages in the US trucking industry to support their claims of gender discrimination. On the other hand, trucking companies in the US have maintained that wages of truck drivers are solely determined by the number of jobs assigned to a truck driver and the number of days spent on travel by the driver. This study sought to examine if gender, the number of jobs assigned to a truck driver and the number of days spent ...

The paper will provide information that cloning can have both negative and positive impacts, and that the knowledge in the public about the issue is insufficient which results in negative attitudes towards it. The thesis of the paper is that despite its therapeutic uses, cloning for the purpose of reproduction ...

What are the main data sources for GIS? Do some research and try to list Canadian sources (with their web addresses) for road data.
Geographical Information System or GIS is a database system that have the capacity of analyzing spatially referenced data (ESRI). Any data with spatial attributes can be a source of GIS. Several processes in GIS are encoding, storage, processing and display of digitized maps (Understanding GIS). Some of the Canadian websites that share free data are the Canadian GIS and Geomatics, ESRI Canada, National Resources Canada, GeoBase, GeoGratis, and some other Canadian websites that offer open ...

Introduction

Enzyme activity is affected and influenced by several factors amongst which include temperature, pH level among others. High temperatures, for instance, denatures the enzymes hence inhibiting their activity, low temperature, on the other hand, inactivates the enzymes making them unable to digest the food. Enzymes are catalysts which mean that they mediate the digestion of food and their assimilation into the blood streams. They oversee the conversion of the substrate into products without being destroyed or changed in any way. (Cohen, pp134)
The enzymes have a primary and tertiary structure. The tertiary structures of an enzyme are important in ...

Introduction

Spoilers may be defined as control surfaces that may be raised or lowered to interrupt the smooth airflow over the airfoil. This causes the separation of flow behind the spoiler. Flow separation causes a reduction in the lift of the airfoil, increasing its drag. When applied properly, these effects may be useful and may improve the flying qualities and controllability of the airplane (Mohammad, Ferdous, and Ome 1). Spoilers area hinged; plate-like structures installed to flush with the upper surface of an aircraft wing. The spoilers are hinged at one end to allow for a pivoted movement. When in action, spoilers ...

Abstract

This paper presents the findings of three regression analysis performed on American InterContinental University’s survey data. They include regression analysis for intrinsic satisfaction versus benefits, extrinsic satisfaction versus benefits and overall satisfaction versus benefits. The coefficient of determination for each analysis was found to be 0.0042629, 0.000018508, and 0.0025798 respectively. In each case the coefficient of correlation was found to be less than 0.1. Meaning, there is very weak relationship between benefits and job satisfaction.

Suicide and suicide attempts in the western world have long been considered criminal and punishable. Ancient Romans and Greeks prohibited most suicide, or suicide among the healthy, and punished those who committed suicide by denying them proper burial rituals (Rosenfeld 24). In England and the American colonies, laws continued to punish individuals who committed suicide by denying them a proper burial and both English and American laws found anyone assisting in suicide potentially guilty of murder. In the last several decades, questions about euthanasia and, specifically, the legality of physician-assisted suicide have repeatedly found their way into the legal system ...

Introduction

The optimum size of company is a very fundamental issue o put into consideration for the growth of the company. Size can have drawbacks and benefits in assisting the management in maximizing the level of output. However, there are those factors that determine the size of the firm. In most cases farm expands their production due to the economies of scale. When the company grows or expands, it is able to take advantage of machine utilization, cost reduction, and bulk discount among others.
Large companies have the cost advantage over the small companies due to economies of scale. This ...

The use of off-road vehicles is associated with roads and tracks which frequently involves driving across untracked areas where there are no roads, as in the case of viewing animals in savanna environment or beach driving. Off-road vehicles allow people to penetrate remoter areas or sites which many other people cannot access. This creates potential for camping impacts, wildlife disturbance and pollution to occur at more remote and relatively unused sites. The use of off-road vehicles has been found to impact on soils, vegetation, wild-life and social conditions. This leads to the degradation of the environment which destroys and ...

Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) is an analysis technique that is applied to two variables in order to determine the strength of relationship between the two variables. This determines how the variables change together. This data analysis technique employs a general linear model. This means that is combines the analysis of variance as well as regression analysis to one data set. One of the variables to be tested has to be an independent variable while the other variable needs to be a dependent variable. The analysis determines the variance of the means of the dependent variable as compared to the independent variable ...
