Basing our hypothesis off of this past experiment, I hypothesized that in the presence of ammonium nitrate we should see an increased germination rate of our spores from the Ceratopteris richardii. We grew 2 different cultures of the fern spores, one on a control petri dish and one in 1% NH4NO3, with 6 replicates. They were grown for 4 weeks and were put under sufficient lighting. All the data was compiled from all the replicates and after all the calculations we found that there was a significant difference in the spore germination rate. Less germinated in the presence of 1% ammonium nitrate compared to the spores not in the presence of ammonium nitrate.
While gas grills were seeing a 8 percent increase since the previous year charcoal grills had dropped by 3 percent. Charcoal grill penetration was trending down since 1997 and gas grill penetration was trending up. Another contributing factor may have been a increase in price by stores to their private label brands as well as their main competitor (who also produced these stores private brands) increase their price as well. Kingsford had kept the prices the same though some stores had increased the prices on their own. Kingsford had also reduced their media presences since 1996 (because of a decrease in media spending), a direct from the text by Warren explains " The charcoal category was now paying the price for the several years of reduced advertising".
Macy’s decreased its purchase of inventory and property and equipment and decrease disposition of property and equipment year by year. The cash flow changes of property and equipment are difficult to evaluate because the company opens and closes several stores each year. The cash used to capitalized software increased each year, which maybe a good investment because it could help the company generate more website sells. In 2006, Macy’s got $1,887 million from proceeds from the disposition of After Hours Formalwear and Lord & Taylor, which caused a cash inflow from
In season one, total assets for lemonade were 212.05. This amount increased to 367.48 in season two. Liabilities also increased in season two from 47.9 to 57.77. However retained earnings decreased in season two by 2.14, which also resulted to a minor decrease in total
Then i proceed to take the plant out and measure the longest stem to leaf and it measured 2 3/16 inches thats a growth of 1 3/16. Now if i compare that to the first test with the regular light the first test subject only grew 3/4 of a inch while this one grew over 1 inch more which means that the plant growth light does allow the plant to grow faster and more fuller. Which proves that my hypothesis is correct. I said that the plant growth light will greatly affect the growth of the plant compared to the regular florescent light. The reason why i think the plant growth light allowed the plant to grow much faster and fuller is because of the different types of wavelength of light generated by the light.
Is Canada becoming a version of ‘Dutch’ disease “where the increase in exploitation of natural resources leads to a decline in the non-oil product manufacturing sector?” As natural resources development in Western Canada booms, traditional manufacturing has fallen off sharply in the eastern part of the country with manufacturing employment dropping by 466,000 jobs between 2001 and 2011. This mass-production model, however, is being replaced by the “engineered-to-order” module model of the product rich, skilled labour poor, resource industry. Although with a different focus, manufacturing is growing in the western part of the country. The Canadian economy has had a profound shift over the past 10 years with Ontario feeling it the most. Dalton McGuinty has faced 300,000
12 Sept. 2013. The growing population in the year of 1600 increased the demand for food, at the same time new technology had started to develop. In the water meadow farmers flooded their farmland to increase the fertility. The farmers also left the land unattended for a year to restore its fertility. Later in the mid 16th century farming was done differently by alternating grains with other crops (such as peas, clover, tulips).
Efforts to diversify agriculture and expand manufacturing have shown some slight improvement. Today, not even forty percent of Hondurans, between the ages of 20 to 45, are active economically. Sixteen percent of Hondurans work in industry, thirty percent in services, and forty percent in agriculture. Many Hondurans work for “the informal economy,” which is when they work selling fruits, vegetables, clothes, and other numerous items on the streets. Over the last fifteen years the political stability allowed Honduras to expand into areas such as tourism, apparel, manufacturing, and shrimp farming.
Lemonade Stand Season Three Written Report BUS 599 – Introduction to Quantitative Principles Instructor Lee Meadows August 8, 2011 Lemonade Stand Season Three Written Report In the lemonade stand business the income statement for season three reflects revenue, expenses, and the net profit for the season, which consisted of six days. Net income increased by 13.1% and revenue increased by 11.36%. I wanted to make the season a little more interesting so I decided to purchase more equipment to see if there was a difference in the operation of the stand. A comparison can also be seen and made between all three seasons that the stand operated. This report is essential in enabling important, informed business decisions.
The types of products in each store were different and depend largely on the location of the stores. According to EXHIBIT 2, Jordan MTR Store mainly had higher sales in weekdays but not weekend while the sales in the Aberdeen Store were quite stable. Still, from the article, the forecasted order quantities were based on the sales volume from the same day in the previous week and the adjustments by the store manager. In EXHIBIT 2, actually we can see that the sales volume in the same day but different week is quite fluctuating. For example, for the Jordan MTR store, there were 2,754 specialty buns sold on 5th June while 4,029 on 12th June.
