...The Economic Substance of Accounting Treatment of Property, Plant and Equipment Related IASs and Faithful Representation April 03, 2010 Introduction Theoretical principles of conceptual framework help determine which events should take place and when. They aid professionals with development of new standards and principles. The users of financial statements of public companies depend on the faithful representation of the entity’s financial statements. The financial statements must be adjusted on a regular basis to reflect economic substance of their information, as the users need these amounts to faithfully represent the account balances as an indicator of a company’s future earning power. As IFRS is introduced into Canadian practice in 2001, companies will be required to focus on which methods will emphasize economic substance with the changes in accounting policies. In the following discussion, we will focus one aspect of the conceptual framework around IFRS, in particular, economic substance, as it relates to the application of IFRS in reporting Property Plant and Equipment (PPE.) Recognition of PPE to Reflect Economic Substance Changes to the recognition of property, plant, and equipment Among the most significant changes are the options of accounting policy regarding the ongoing valuation of an asset on a class by class basis. Under GAAP, the cost model was the only choice; IFRS provides two options, the cost model or the revaluation model. These options are...

...Mechanical properties of PS injected parts under surface-active substances Journal: Manuscript ID: Division or Special Interest Group: Presentation Preference: Paper Type: Date Submitted by the Author: Complete List of Authors: Page 1 of 5 MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF PS INJECTED PARTS UNDER SURFACEACTIVE SUBSTANCES (1) The main objective of this work was to develop the influence of surface-active substances in the mechanical properties of injected plastic parts in presence of cracks, a tension test and a constant load. The material used was Polystyrene and the surface-active substances were olive oil and corporal sweat. This study was conducted because it was observed that the surface-active substances affects the mechanical properties of the resin as well as the presence of cracks, and actually is not reported any methodology for conducting this study. Experimental Part For this study, there were injected 110.5*85.5*1 mm plates in a REED-Prentice 100 TE (Clamp Force = 100 ton) injection machine with an injection mold with two similar cavities, but with a different located entrance. The used material was a Polystyrene PS-2820 from Estirenos del Zulia (Table 1). In table 2 are showed the used optimal process conditions. Notches were mechanized in each plate with a saw. The normalized tensile test specimens were cut with a milling machine. It was used a Galdabini 2500 universal test machine to make mechanical tests, and a Starrett Sigma VB300 stereoscopic magnifying...

...Chapter 5: Properties of Matter Matter is anything that has a mass and takes up space. The particle theory of matter is a theory that describes the composition and behavior. Matter can be many up of many different particles or only one. A pure substance is a type of matter that consists of only one type of particle. Then there are mixtures that are made up of at least two different types of particles. There are two different types of mixtures; mechanical mixtures and solutions. A mechanical mixture is a mixture in which the substances in it are distinguishable from each other, either with the unaided eye or a microscope. A solution looks like a pure substance but it contains more than one type of particle. Alloys are when two or more metals are mixed together. A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be determined without changing the composition of that substance. A qualitative physical property is not measured and includes hardness, malleability and electrical conductivity. Quantitative physical properties are measured and include temperature, height and mass. A physical change is a change is which the composition of the substance remains unaltered and no new substances are produced Examples of physical change are a change of size or shape, a change of state, and dissolving. A chemical property is a property of a substance that describes its ability to undergo changes to its composition to produce one or more new substances. A chemical; change is a...

...Meditation VI: The Conceivability and Divisibility Arguments The Argument Introduced The Conceivability Argument occurs in Meditation VI. It is Descartes’ most celebrated argument. It was criticised in its day and has been ever since. The argument purports to establish that minds are non-physical substances and hence that a mind is not identical to any bit of the body, such as the brain. A person is a special unity of two substances: physical substance (the body) and mental substance (the mind). Only humans are such special unities. Animals have bodies but lack minds and angels have minds but lack bodies. Here’s the passage: First, I know that everything which I clearly and distinctly understand is capable of being created by God so as to correspond exactly with my understanding of it. Hence the fact that I can clearly and distinctly understand one thing apart from another is enough to make me certain that the two things are distinct, since they are capable of being separated, at least by God. The question of what kind of power is required to bring about such a separation does not affect the judgment that they are distinct. Thus, simply by knowing that I exist and seeing at the same time that absolutely nothing belongs to my nature or essence except that I am a thinking thing, I can infer correctly that my essence consists solely in the fact that I am a thinking thing. It is true that I may have (or, to anticipate, that I certainly have) a body that is very...

Tasks Review and take notes of the presentation, “Metaphysical Terminology.”-Deals with reality - has 2 aspects to it: events and things or (time and space) -things: 3 attributes; properties, substance and an essence * Know the 4 characteristics of properties.- other words for properties: as qualities or characteristics; definition: this is an attribute or a quality a thing is said to possess, it’s a characteristic about that particular thing, (color, texture, size, shape) (adjectives) * 1) Properties are universals- they can be in more than one thing at a time. * 2) Properties are immutable and eternal- they do not change over time. * 3) Properties inhere in things- they are “had” by or are “in” things (they have to exist in things) * 4) Properties do not have causal powers- they cannot cause any things or event to occur. Two kinds: Accidental properties- properties which a particular thing may or may not possess; they are not essential to what the thing is. (ex. “human” Color, height, weight, personality) Essential properties- properties which a particular thing must possess; they are necessary to what the thing is.

...those responsible for the release of hazardous substances and degradation of the environment and natural resources. Throughout the years, the act has been revised by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownsfields Revitalization Act of 2002 . The act has four basic elements that authorizes federal agencies to respond and act accordingly to hazardous waste disposals. The first element of the act establishes a system of recording and information gathering to enable state and federal governments to categorize disposal sites while developing a priority system for response actions. The second element authorizes federal authorities to respond to hazardous substance emergencies and to clean up leaking sites. The third element creates the Hazardous Substances Trust Fund to help pay for the removal and clean up actions. The fourth element of the act imposes liability on persons who are responsible for the release of the hazardous substance. This includes cleanup and restitution costs, not recovery for personal injury or damage to property . It is this fourth element of the act that this paper will focus on when deciding the fairness of CERCLA to hold current owners of the property liable for response costs when they did not own the property at the time of hazardous waste disposal....

...histogram, if the boiling point of a substance is a characteristic property and to determine if the time it takes to boil affects the boiling point. To conduct this experiment, the group must be sure to add a few boiling chips to their substances before heating to dispense heat and ensure even heating. Also, the group should use a burner stand for gentle heating of the substance. During this investigation, it was determined that when graphed, the groups with smaller amounts of the same substance have a steeper slope at first, but both amounts of the substances would eventually have a plateau at the same temperature. The bigger the amount of the substance is, the longer it will take...

Particles attract each other 2. Changing state from solid to liquid to gas: * form a solid when the forces are strong enough to form a rigid shape * they gain energy when heated and begin to move faster, when they can no longer hold each other, this forms the liquid state * if they are continued to be heated the particles literally fly apart 3. The difference between pure substances and mixtures: * pure substance: contains only one type of particle * element: a pure substance that can not be broken down into a simpler chemical substance by any physical or chemical means * compound: a pure substance composed of 2 or more different elements that are chemically joined * mixture: contains 2 or more types of particles * mechanical mixture: a mixture in which you can distinguish between different types of matter * solution: a uniform mixture of 2 or more substances 4.
