GDP

- Y = C + I + (X - M)+ G

Where

Y= GDP
C= Consumer Expenditure
I= Investments
X= Exports
M= Imports
G= Government expenditure
Thus, Y= $1000+$200+$300+$200
Y= $1700
- If we increase our domestic energy production, it will help us to import less energy from foreign countries, thus decreasing the value of imports. This will increase the excess of exports over imports and thus increase the GDP of the country.

Inflation

- Rate of inflation= (Current CPI – Previous CPI)/Previous CPI * 100
Rate of inflation= (111-106)/106*100 = 4.717%
- Rate of inflation= (234-217)/217*100 = 7.834%

INTRODUCTION

Theory
Electrical resistance is one of the most important properties of materials. It is defined mathematically as the ratio of voltage to the current passing through a conductor. In physical sense, it is opposition a material offers to the current flowing through it. This opposition to the passage of electricity is a result of collisions between charge carriers and other sub atomic particles. The collisions reduce the drift speed of electrons that carry charges. Materials that offer greatest opposition to current flow are called insulators while those that allow current to flow through them with minimal hindrance are called Continue reading...

Introduction
Guidelines and funding for equal employment were presented in 1961 in an Executive Order signed by Democratic President J. F. Kennedy (Stewart, 2012). And then, the Supreme Court was the center of forming the foundational legal concepts of affirmative action (FAQ, 2003). And later, Republican President Richard M. Nixon supported employment equity by establishing federal contractors to meet affirmative action standards. Three decades later, 32 years after the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the California legislature passed a ban on affirmative action. The law had been initiated by California Proposition 209 which had been accepted in a popular vote. Continue reading...

- Salesman interpretation.
The salesman is not right that the price of the printers is reduced by 50%. The salesman is not using percentages correctly because he does not consider that the second reduction was 20% of the reduced price. Percentages are a fraction of the price. The price changes after the first reduction. Therefore, the second reduction should be done at the already reduced price. The salesman makes a mistake by adding up the percentage (20 + 30) making him conclude that the percentage reduction is 50 %.
The calculations would result in a total reduction of 50% of the Continue reading...

Studying Effect of Age on Ability to Ignore Distractions

Introduction
With aging, people tend to perform poorly on cognitive tasks as they are unable to ignore non-relevant information. At the same time, young adults are observed to be adept at ignoring irrelevant information as they seem to be more focussed and have the ability to ignore distractions. Research studies published so far are throwing highly contrasting results. Mack & Rock (1998) in studies related to inattentional blindness (IB) formulated a working hypothesis that there is no perception without attention, as young adults failed to respond or to remember information presented in the centre of their visual field.

Abstract

The positive effect of high intensity cardio exercise on body fat is well known. The paper looks into the greater impact on body composition due to those high-intensity exercises. Regular cardio is known to increase both aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Until recently, it was thought that low intensity exercises like walking or slow jogging burn more fat and high intensity workouts like running or high intensity aerobics are meant more for cardiovascular fitness and not for burning fat. However, now the evidence from scientific studies and controlled trials is showing that high intensity cardio may actually burn faster and Continue reading...

Abstract
Material selection is an important stage in engineering design. Engineers use various materials with different mechanical properties in building of structures. These mechanical properties include; tensile strength, yield strength, proof stress, Young's modulus, shears modulus of rigidity and ductility amongst others. Material selection increases the performance as well as durability of the engineering component. The expected life, cost, nature of loading and working environment are some of the factors that assist engineers to select materials for particular application. Therefore, engineers and designers must be able to determine the properties of these materials before they use them. Engineers use Continue reading...

Introduction

Poverty is the deprivation of basic things like money, food or assets that are essential for a normal life. GDP on the other hand is the goods and services produced within the by a country in a year. It is known that with increase in poverty it leads to reduction in output of a country. This is because essential resources that are vital for production are lacking. It also means that human capital is insufficient and consequently the resources needed to stir growth are used to feed and provide for the poor population.
Poverty and unstable GDP are common Continue reading...

Introduction

Where the universe originated from remains a philosophical issue. Different people argue differently about the origin of life. Although people live in a more technological developed world, they still have certain criteria to explain where life came about. In biological aspect, specialists argue that life originated from genetic traits (Moore, 59). This is different from myths that have the idea of the universe to have originated from accounts of divine creation (Pollitzer, 34). In this concern, Evolution and Creationism are the popular anthropological theories of origin. This research aims at determining people’s opinion about the two accounts. With Continue reading...

Introduction

Osmosis refers to the net water movement across a membrane, which is selectively permeable and the movement is driven by a difference in the concentration of the solutes on the opposite sides of the membrane. A selectively permeable membrane allows water to pass through without allowing ions or solute molecules to pass through. Other small molecules that are not charged are also allowed to pass through the membrane. Diffusion, on the other hand, refers to the movement of molecules in a random motion as a result of the kinetic energy and causes the molecules to have a net movement Continue reading...
