The theory of consumer behavior shows how the choice is affected by the price of goods, income and preferences, and the way buyers maximize their net gains from the purchase of goods and services. The price change of a good affects the consumer demand structure in two ways. Any change in the price results in the appearance of the income and substitution effects, as it changes the amount of available goods and their relative prices. The above effects are consumer reaction to changes in relative prices and real income (Mankiw, 2014). The substitution effect is the change in the ...

Click Chemistry describes the biocompatible reactions that are high yielding, that are very simple to perform, have wide scope, that need no chromatography to remove their byproducts and that can be conducted in easily removable solvents. The synthesis of first triazole was reported by Arthur Michael in 1893. In the 20th century, Huisgen discovered the catalyst of copper, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition which required the temperature of 100 degree Celsius. This reaction of copper is a highly versatile reaction which does not require any specific reaction conditions and can easily be performed with various solvents, wide temperature range and pH, ...

People’s budget, income, and substitution effects are connected in demand theory. If the price of some product (beef, for example) is growing, and income (budges) stay on the same level, people start to substitute this product with another (cheaper). These actions are called substitution effects. In case of beef, such a substitution products could be pork, poultry, etc. Substitution effect is one of the core principles of behavioral economics (Hursh, p. 435). People always react to any economic changes, and the most common reaction to changes in prices is changes in budget dispersion. With the same level of ...

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution to yield 4-Bromoacetanilide

Introduction Halogenation is a common process in organic synthesis. It is used in industrial and research synthesis as halogenated compounds are used for numerous widely used goods, including plastics. The lab aimed to perform monohalogenation of acetanilide. The reaction is specific since it is performed without catalyst. The typical halogenation is realized in presence of Lewis acid. Halogens molecules are electrophilic, and do not actively react. In presence of Lewis acid, the interaction is rather active.2 The lab used catalyst-free halogenation. The acetanilide molecule contains the acylated amine. As a result, the electronic density is shifted towards the amine ...

Introduction

In this paper, I will argue that the fact that a certain individual is recognized as an employee, automatically “grants” employer status to the person or entity that hires this individual; the legal status of employer is inherently connected to the status of employee. Both parties acquire certain rights and obligations as soon as their relationship falls under the definition of employment. However, as much as there are no strict criterion that help to determine whether a person is an employee, similarly, whether an entity or an individual is an employer will largely depend on the form of relationship ...

According to Chambliss et al. (2010), the state is involved in organized crimes through collusion, evasion, corruption, and substitution.

For instance, I have witnessed individuals set up legitimate businesses that barely have a link to their names. The organizations then are placed in the frontline to launder money from the state. Such organizations are offered tenders to supply good or ...

DISCUSS THE ROLE OF ION CURRENTS IN DETERMINING THE SHAPE AND DURATION OF CARDIAC ACTION POTENTIAL

Introduction Selective permeability to various ions is an important characteristic of cell membranes, one that determines myriad cellular functions. In animal cells, ion permeability and the electrical potential generated thereof determines the activity of neurons, myocytes and the like. The electrical potential depends on the concentration of the ions inside and outside any given cell, the permeability of the cell membrane to the ions and the ion channels that are present on the surface of the cell. Cardiac cells also possess different ion channels on their surface. These determine the two types of electrical potentials, namely, resting membrane ...

- Introduction:

The feudal system of land tenure was introduced in Ireland by Normans. In this regard, the feudal system primarily worked on the principle that the ownership of all land eventually lied with the crown.

The feudal system of tenancy completely disregarded and did not recognize the modern relationship between the landlord and tenants. To this end, grants of land over a period of years were regarded as creating personal contracts only. Nevertheless, it did contain certain characteristics of modern landlord-tenant relationship. The land ownership structure ...
