The use of concrete manipulatives has long been applauded as a quality instructional tool. “Students’ mental images and abstract ideas are based on their experiences. Hence, students who see and manipulate a variety of objects have clearer mental images and can represent abstract ideas more completely than those whose experiences are…
The mean maladaptive perfectionism scores are average and the low standard deviation shows that there was little variation between student’s maladaptive perfectionism scores. A correlation coefficient was calculated between procrastination and adaptive perfectionism scores (r (523) = -.14, p < .001). A significant negative…
This federal law aims at regulating air emissions from stationary sources such as industries and mobile sources such as vehicles. It was established to authorize the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) that protects the public health through regulation of emissions that have a hazardous effect on air (Sueyoshi & Goto, 2010). The CAA was established in 1963 after several deaths were experienced in 1948 and 1952 due to air pollution. It…

Students were asked to create a dog pen with the biggest area. They had to make sure that they would have enough fencing material to cover a perimeter of 40 yards. With these 40 yards, students were asked to figure out the largest area for the dog to play in its pen. First, I know that we have 40 yards of fencing material. Our equation to finding out the perimeter of the the rectangle is 2W+2L=40. I also know that the formula for finding out the area is LW=A.The L variable stands for length and…
British Petroleum(BP) was initially registered as Anglo-Iranian Oil Company Limited. It was founded in 1909 by William Knox D’Arcy an English who discovered oil in Iran. The company was state owned by Britain until 1970 it was privatized under the era of Margaret Thatcher.

According to Treas & Wilkinson (2014) when using the BMI calculation of: BMI=weight in kilograms + (height in meters)2, Mrs. Jenkins BMI would equal 16.8 (p.924). “The normal BMI for adults ranges from 18.5 to 24.9” (Treas & Wilkinson, 2014, p. 924). The 16.8 BMI classifies Mrs. Jenkins as moderately underweight. Being underweight is when the patient “consumes fewer kcal than needed based on his activity, sex, height, and weight. Consuming too few kcal may result in serious undernutrition-that…
RESULT & OBSERVATION The hypothesis for statistical testing must be written as Null hypothesis (H0) and Alternate (Research) hypothesis (H1) form. H0 1= There is no significant relationship between body height, foot length and knee height in both the sexes. H1 1= There is relationship between body height, foot length and knee height and are significant in both the sexes. H0 2= Body height is equally…

2.5. Statistical analysis Multivariate analysis was performed using two algorithms: PCA and 2-D HCA heat map. The PCA, based on the correlation matrix, was performed using XLStat-Pro 2015 software. The 2-D HCA heat map was carried out with the ArrayTrack, and the Ward's minimum-variance method was used for runs and hydrocarbons clustering. A probability level of p=0.05 was considered as significant difference. The data obtained from the RSM on the hydrocarbon removal were subjected to the…
