Inside the cells of citrus fruit peels, there are flammable oils and other carbon compounds, including alcohol. When you press the peel, the cells are squeezed and the oil is pushed out. When these flammable oils hit the flame, they burn and create an amazing effect. It's like a small military flamethrower, except that real flamethrowers work with petroleum-based fuels. This study aimed to find out whether citrus fruits such as orange, lemon and lime could ignite without the use of matches. Statement of the problem This study was conducted to answer the following questions: a) Are citrus fruits effective as flame igniters without matches? b) Does the freshness of the fruit affect the outcome? c) Which among the citrus fruits is the best one to be used? Hypotheses: ...

...storing, retaining and then later retrieving information for use. The ability to create new memories, store them for periods of time and recall them when they are needed allows us to learn and interact with the world around us (Cherry, 2012). First we want to look at the concept of what a working memory is. According to Braddeley (1992) “The term working memory refers to a brain system that provides temporary storage and manipulation of the information necessary for such complex cognitive tasks as language comprehension, learning, and reasoning”. Working memory has been found to require the simultaneous storage and processing of information. Working memory is your everyday memory processing of information and storage that can later be retrieved for future use. Next, we will look at short –term memory, or also known as active memory, which is essentially information that we are currently aware of or thinking about at the time. Most of the information that we currently have is stored in the active memory, but for only about 20 to 30 seconds at a time. Though much of this information is lost and forgotten about, because of the short memory period, if we attend to this memory more often is can eventually evolve to the next stage which is known as long-term memory. For example someone that I just met give me their name and phone number, after a short period I forget their name and number, but I have written it down, so the more that I refer to this person and call their number...

...THE SCIENCE OF CYCLING – Practical 1 TOPIC: RESEARCH QUESTION: Scientifical relationship between the time period of cycling and the amount of energies burnt (i.e. the varition between the BACKGROUND / THEORY: Information source : "Cycling to Lose Weight." Weight Loss Resources. Web. 14 Jan. 2012. <http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/logout/sport/cycling.htm>. Cycling has several advantages in different perspective. Cycling helps in long distance locomotion without the need of automobile. In addition to that, cycling activates major muscles that are found in legs: the quadriceps, glutei, hamstrings and calves. The Pedal power is low in impact and therefore takes the weight off the body, so for many people who cannot do high impact sports because of the pressure it puts on their joints, such as running, cycling is a great alternative. Most women might be concerned that their muscle might enlarge in size due to the vigorous cycling, however this is not true. Cycling burns calories and is unlikely to build large quantities of muscle. Instead it is much more likely that your thighs, bum and waist will all slim down and tone up, making cycling a great exercise for those wanting to help their weight loss. Therefore cycling is considered to be one of the healthiest ways of losing fats. HYPOTHESIS: It is hypothesize that as the time period taken by a person to cycle increases then the amount of calories burn by that person also increases. Inversely, if the time taken...

...Accounting Cycle Paper ACC/421 September 12, 2011 Accounting Cycle Paper The accounting cycle is very important to maintaining orderly transactions within an organization’s accounting records. Companies can simply not just give and receive money without recording the events that lead to the transaction otherwise they would be faced with a night mare when trying to reconcile their records. In my company the accounting cycle is used for accounting transactions that affect the comings and goings of money within the organization. This usually begins with a Source Document. Source Documents consist of a description of the accounting transaction, this can be a sales or purchase transaction. Sales transactions in my company are usually performed through the use of a Point of sale system. In a purchase transaction a cash receipt or invoice from the company providing the product or service. Source documents, whether from sales or purchase transactions serve as objective evidence that the transaction did occur and part of the audit trail. Being an early document in the accounting cycle, source documents provide the information required to analyze and classify the transaction in order to be journalized in the accounting system. The next step in the accounting cycle is to journalize the transactions. In my company this is usually the electronic journal maintained by the Point of sale system, or a purchase order created by a manager at the time a purchase is made. Sales transactions...

They are transferred to Ledger and balanced it. The main object of keeping the books of accounts is to ascertain the profit or loss of business and to assess the financial position of the business at the end of the year. The object is better served if the businessman first satisfies himself that the accounts written up during the year are correct or al least arithmetically accurate. When the transactions are recorded under double entry system, there is a credit for every debit, when on a/c is debited; another a/c is credited with equal amount. If a Statement is prepared with debit balances on one side and credit balances on the other side, the totals of the two sides will be equal. Such a Statement is called Trial Balance.

...acceleration due to gravity Introduction: A system undertaking simple harmonic motion (SHM) can be restrained very accurately. The period of the SHM depends both on the mass of the system and the strength of the force tending to restore the system to its equilibrium state). Oscillations are a common part of life, for instance the vibrations of a musical instrument which helps make sounds or the foundations of a car suspension which are assisted by oscillations. The main aims of this experiment was to determine if the oscillation of a mass which hung vertically from a spring; this oscillating system was used to measure the acceleration of earth due to gravity and to determine the accuracy of experimental results precisely. (http://www.pgccphy.net/1020/phy1020.pdf Theory: | | | Acceleration due to gravity The value of 9.8m/s/s acceleration is given to a free falling object, directing downwards towards Earth.

...P RAMCHANDRA RAO VS STATE OF KARNATAKA SUBMITTED BY K.SAI SHARAVAN KUMAR B.L HONS FIRST YEAR LEGAL METHODS INTRODUCTION There are altogether too many prisoners waiting trial in Indian prisons. As per the latest comprehensive statistics2 available on prisons in India, there are 1,93,627 undertrial prisoners as against 63,975 convicts constituting 71.2% of the total prison population in India. The range varies from a low of 12.1% in Tamil Nadu to a maximum of 98.7% in Dadra and Nagar Haveli. The Constitution of India, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Standard Minimum Rules for Treatment of Prisoners clearly specify the standards of treatment with prisoners on trial. But realities in jails transmit an entirely different tune. Let us briefly examine the realities inside any prison. SPECIFIC PROBLEMS FACED BY UNDERTRIAL PRISONERS AND THEIR REASONS – Their Right to Speedy Trial as recognised by the Supreme Court in Hussainara Khatoon [I] vs. Home Secretary, Bihar7 is violated due to protracted delays. This delay is due to all kinds of reasons such as – * Systemic delays. * Grossly inadequate number of judges8 and prosecutors. * Absence or belated service of summons on witnesses. * Presiding judges proceeding on leave. * Remands being extended mechanically due to lack of time and patience with the presiding judge. * Inadequacy of police personnel and vehicles which prevents the production of all ...

...Hi Class, Please let me know specifically if there are problems you are having trouble understanding. If it is just the overall basic principles of accounting, we can go through them until you get the idea. Below is a brief overview: The financial position of a company is measured by the following items: 1. Assets (what it owns) 2. Liabilities (what it owes to others) 3. Owner’s Equity (the difference between assets and liabilities) The accounting equation (or basic accounting equation) offers us a simple way to understand how these three amounts relate to each other. The accounting equation for a sole proprietorship is: Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity The accounting equation for a corporation is: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity If a company keeps accurate records, the accounting equation will always be “in balance,” meaning the left side should always equal the right side. The balance is maintained because every business transaction affects at least two of a company’s accounts. For example, when a company borrows money from a bank, the company’s assets will increase and its liabilities will increase by the same amount. For instance, if the company borrows $10,000, Cash (a normal debit balance account) would be increased (debited, left side) for $10,000, and Notes Payable (this is a normal credit balance account) would be increased for $10,000 (credited, right side). The entry in the General Journal (the record of all...

Is it a room full of computers and papers? Not necessarily. The accounting information system consists of data, papers to support the data, machines to process the data, and most importantly, people to report the resulting information to those who make decisions based on such information. Every organization that is engaged in transactions needs an accounting information system. This brings us to an important term used in accounting—a transaction! But what, exactly, is a transaction? Identifying Business Transactions A transaction is any event that involves an exchange or consumption of resources. A transaction could take place between a company and external parties (e.g., purchase of raw materials from suppliers or sale of merchandise to customers), or within a company itself (e.g., a company uses supplies that were purchased at a previous date and were...

SCORE: DAY / TIME : W / 7 : 30 – 4 : 30 PM DATE : JUNE 25, 2014 INTRODUCTION TO EXPERIMENTATION ABSTRACT The introduction to experimentation aimed to familiarize with some of the logic of research. The materials and apparatuses were pen, paper, and watch with second hand. The procedure of the experiment was that the experimenter instructs the subject to write the alphabet backward (from Z to A) as rapidly as possible. There would be 5 trials of 30 seconds each with a one-minute rest between trials. After the first trial, S would report orally the number of letters written and estimated the number expected in the second trial. After the second, third, and fourth trials, S would report the number estimated, the number achieved and the number estimated for the next trial. After the fifth trial only the estimated and achieved scores were reported. As the trial repeats in the individual’s performance (subject), there was a rising in the achieved score. On the contrary, in trial 5, the achieved score fell comparing to the previous achieved scores in relation to the subject’s estimated score. In the grouped tally, the computation of the average is 0.2 indicated that the mean with its corresponding intervals below the computed average, failed to have a good performance in the experiment. On the other hand, mean with its corresponding intervals above the computed average, passed in having a good performance in the experiment. Thirteen (13) individuals...

Closing entries are based on the account balances in an adjusted trial balance and the reason closing entries are prepare is when the revenue, expense, and drawing accounts, Dividend, Drawings or Withdrawals Accounts, Income Summary Account(the temporary accounts) are closed, their balance returns to zero in preparation for the new accounting period. Trial balance is the process of totaling the debits and credits in your chart of account, then making sure that the sum of all debits equals the sum of all credits — that the two amounts balance. The purpose of trial balance is to assist in the identification and rectification of errors and to ensures that the account balances are accurately extracted from accounting ledgers Profitability can be evaluated in two ways, also two of the metrics are profit margin and return on assets. Profit margin tells you how much profit a business makes for every dollar in sales,while return on asset measures the ratio of a company's net income to its total asset base. Comparing both of these numbers to that of competitors and the industry average can help you evaluate the profitability of your company. Profit margin is a measure of profitability and it is calculated by finding the net profit as a percentage of the revenue. Profit margin = Net profit / Revenue. The return on assets measures...
