Pretco fabricates metal display racks and uses process costing to record costs in their three departments Cutting, Assembly, and Finishing department. Product costing is commonly used to record product costs where products are created in sub-assembly from the start to the end (Hansen, 2009, p. 173). Pretco finds process costing particularly useful in recording product costs. Once a design is agreed with a customer, fabrication of the metal display rack starts at the cutting department where all pieces required for the display rack are cut. At the end of the process, the metal racks are 70% complete as to ...

Introduction

Biological reactions are those reactions that are involved in various activities, in the body including energy production. Reactions that produce energy are called exergonic reactions while those that use energy are called endergonic reactions. Enzymes enable chemical reactions to take place within a living system most of which are under a homeostatic constraint. In these reactions, enzymes function as a catalyst by lowering the activation energy necessary in a reaction (Cooper, 2000). Enzymes bring the reactants involved in a reaction closer together weakening the chemical bonds and this enable the reactions to occur faster compared to reactions that have no enzyme (Farabee, 2010). ...

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 from areas where the particles ...

(City, State) Lactic acid fermentation refers to a biological process where sugars such as fructose, glucose, and sucrose undergo conversion to form cellular energy lactic acid. The process is an anaerobic kind of fermentation reaction and takes place in a number of bacteria as well as in animal cells like the muscle cells (Campbell & Reece, 2005). The application of lactic acid fermentation is broad especially in the food industry (Tempeh, 2008). Some of the bacteria that are involved in the production of lactic acid include pediococcus cerevisiae, leuconostoc mesenteroides, bifidobacterium bifidus, and streptococcus lactis (Tempeh, 2008). The process is also ...

Introduction

A dish washer is a mechanical device that is used in the cleaning of eating utensils and dishes. They are mainly found in restaurants and homes. The existence of the dish washing device has become a staple in many homes because, unlike the manual dish cleaning process, dishwashers spray the hot water in the temperature range of 55-75 degrees centigrade on the dishes. This has made dish washing process easier and eliminates the danger of breaking utensils and injury that is associated with mechanical washing.

The best dish washing devices are designed to reduce the probability of inflicting injury on the ...

“Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air;
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve;
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep”. (Shakespeare 70).

Lab Report on Aldehydes and Ketones Experiment

Lab Report on Aldehydes and Ketones Experiment

The current experiment aimed at learning properties of some of the common aldehydes and ketones, as well as, the chemical tests used to distinguish the different classes. Both aldehydes and ketones have the same functional group known as carbonyl group C=O. In the aldehyde compounds, the carbonyl group is located at the end the structure with a general structure shown below (McNaught & Wilkinson, 1997). The carbonyl carbon is, therefore, the first carbon of the carbon chain. On the other hand, the carbonyl group in ketones is located anywhere on the carbon ...

Historical Overview of the Inquisition

In the early Middle Ages, the Roman Church had consolidated its power. The so called heretics became their foremost enemy. Heresy was taken as a crime since it deliberately denied the truth of the Catholic faith (“Historical Overview of the Inquisition,” p. 1). There was a Christian unity pervading at that time and the Church leaders and the ordinary people alike united against the heretics, whom they considered as a threat to society (p. 1). With the popularity and spread of heresy during the 11th and 12th centuries, Pope Gregory IX instituted the papal inquisition in 1231. During this inquisition, the heretics ...

Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are one of the next generation’s renewable energy sources for our world energy demand. PV modules are highly reliable. However, in polluted environments, over time, they will collect grime and dust. There are also limited field data studies about soiling losses on PV modules. The study showed how important it is to investigate the effect of tilt angle on soiling.

The study includes two sets of mini-modules. Each set has 9 PV modules tilted at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 23, 30, 33 and 40o. The first set called "Cleaned" was cleaned every other day. ...
