However, there are some issues regarding the measurement of the CPI and Inflation, the GDP and economic welfare, and the money supply that I would like to highlight. Firstly, there are a couple issues regarding the measurement of the consumer price index (CPI) which in turn is used to measure inflation. The CPI “basket” is not usually up to date and it is very easy to have the consumer choices and essentials change dramatically when that possibility is never accounted for. Also, the fact that…

application to installing the final connection takes 137 calendar days and costs a substantial 126.1% of income per capita. The reliability of supply and transparency of tariffs scorecard indicates that Canada has an index of 6 out of 8. Being in the top one-third range of the index implies that there is relatively high reliability of electricity supply and great transparency of tariffs. Canada currently has a ranking of 105…

Introduction Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory talks about how organizations can achieve high levels of communication in multi-cultural situations. His concept narrows mainly on the interrelation existing between personal relationships, culture, and values. Hofstede approach used the factor analysis approach which looked into organizational culture and then placed it in culture and relationships and human values at the center. There are six key parts in the six dimension approach; cross…

DMFT, Decayed-Missing-Filled Teeth, is an index used to measure past and present caries incidence throughout the permanent dentition. DMFS, Decayed-Missing-Filled Surfaces, is an index that is used to assess caries occurrence throughout each individual permanent tooth surface, facial, lingual, occlusal, mesial, and distal. OHI-S, Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified, is an index in which six tooth surfaces are examined for plaque and tartar build up. The six surfaces…

difference of 0.027 g/mL difference and comparing measured refractive index of cyclohexene to the literature value of cyclohexane, there is only a .009 difference. All of these results shows that both the literature value and the experimented values show a very small difference therefore, the results are very well accurate. 9. Explain on the basis of chemical structure why the physical properties (b.p., density and refractive index) of your unknown were similar or different from cyclohexane.…

Canada’s food guide. Canadian healthy eating index (HEI – C or CHEI) (Woodruff et al. 2008, Nkondjock and Ghadirian 2007), adapted from American HEI to suit to the dietary recommendations by the Canada’s food guide, and Canada’s Food Guide (CFG) Index (Hajna et al. 2012). A cross sectional survey conducted in the school setting in the Niagara region (Ontario, Canada) studied the association to adherence to the Canada’s food guide as measured by CFG index and anthropometric measures in 1570…

four major areas of intelligence: 1. A Verbal Comprehension Index. 2. A Perceptual Reasoning Index. 3. A Working Memory Index. 4. A Processing Speed Index. Rather than score the test based on chronological age and mental age. The test also provides two broad scores that may be used as a summary of overall intelligence: A combine’s performance on all four major areas of intelligence is a Full Scale IQ score and a General Ability Index based on six subtest scores. WAIS is scored by comparing…

number and composition, we have introduced new parameter called effective composition index (Ceff). In general, it is the ratio of the sum of the product of composition and atomic weight of elements in large proportion to one plus sum of the product of composition and atomic weight of remaining elements. The major elements present in the tissues of human organs are H,C,N and O. Thus effective composition index (Ceff) for tissues of human organ is defined as the ratio between the sum of the…

another model to predict the presidency, I chose to research Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight website and their “polls-plus” predictive model. FiveThirtyEight defines the polls-plus version model as: [The polls-plus model] “Combines polls with an economic index.” They use a four-step calculation for their prediction, which includes: “1) collecting, weighing, and averaging the polls, 2) adjusting the polls, 3) combining the polls with demographic and economic data, and 4) accounting for uncertainty…

2.) In consideration of the relationship between the Intermembral index and the habitual mode of locomotion for the six different primates, the collected data suggests that the lower the index is, the greater the chance for bipedalism as the “default,” or main movement. Versus a higher index which instead suggests the preferred ability of moving with the arms (e.g. swinging). Moreover, primates with an index closer to a total of 100 appear to assume quadrupedalism. This query can be seen when…
