Degrees of freedom refer to the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary. As degrees of freedom increase, the graph of a t-distribution approaches the standard normal distribution. A z-test is used when the population standard deviation is known, while a t-test is used when the population standard deviation is unknown. The critical value is obtained from statistical tables and compared to the test statistic calculated from the sample data.

1 Objectives Genetically transform bacteria with foreign DNA and induce expression of genes encoded on DNA to produce novel Isolate chromosomal DNA from Introduction In this portion of the lab, you will perform a procedure known as genetic transformation. that a gene is a piece of DNA that provides the instructions for making (codes for) a protein. This gives an organism a particular trait. Genetic transformation literally means change caused by genes, involves the insertion of a gene into an organism in order to change the organism’s trait. transformation is used in many areas of biotechnology. In agriculture, genes coding for traits such as pest, or spoilage resistance can be genetically transformed into plants. In bioremediation, bacteria can genetically transformed with genes enabling them to digest oil spills. In medicine, diseases caused defective genes are beginning to be treated by gene therapy; that is, by genetically transforming a person’s cells with healthy copies of the defective gene that causes the You will use a procedure to transform bacteria with a gene that codes for Green Fluorescent (GFP). The real-life source of this gene is the bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea victoria. Fluorescent Protein causes the jellyfish to fluoresce and glow in the dark. LAB TOPIC 10: Nucleic Acids and Genetic Transformation Following the procedure, the bacteria express their newly acquired jellyfish gene and produce the fluorescent which causes them to glow a brilliant green color under ultraviolet In this activity, you will learn about the process of moving genes from one organism to another with aid of a plasmid. In nature, bacteria can transfer plasmids back and forth allowing them to share beneficial genes. This natural mechanism allows bacteria to adapt to new environments. The occurrence of bacterial resistance to is due to the transmission of Genetic transformation involves insertion of some new DNA into the E. cells. In addition to one large bacteria often contain one or more circular pieces of DNA called Plasmid DNA usually contains genes for than one trait. Scientists can use a called genetic engineering to insert coding for new traits into a plasmid. In case, the pGLO plasmid carries the GFP that codes for the green fluorescent protein and a gene (bla) that codes for a protein that gives the resistance to an antibiotic. The genetically engineered plasmid can then be used to genetically bacteria to give them this new Figure 10.1 Bacterial cell undergoing genetic transformation with the pGLO plasmid Exercise 10.1 Bacterial Transformation 2 Pre-lab exercises: Since scientific laboratory investigations are designed to get information about a question, our first might be to formulate some questions for this Can we genetically transform an organism?

The Effect of Social Media on the English Language 2 of 8 Table Of Content: Abstract 3 Introduction 3 Literature review 3 Significance of Research 4 Research Question 4 Methodology 4 Ethical Considerations 4 Limitations of the study 4 Expected results 5 Conclusion 5 References 6 Appendix 7 3 of 8 Abstract: Giving the popularity of social networking sites lately, it has made an effect on the English language either in a positive way by adding new words to the dictionary a negative way by misus- ing the grammar and using incorrect abbreviated words like turning “you’re” to “your’. In this research proposal I would like to investigate what the effect of using social networks has on the Eng- lish language and see if it was more positive than negative and vice versa. I will be making a survey page to collect data on the way people use these sites. Furthermore, we will see if people know the importance of using proper English and try to make social networking sites improve our way of using the English language. Introduction: Technology has changed rapidly in the past five years, we became more reliant on our smart phones and it completely changed the way we communicate with each other in our everyday life, it made it easier for us to interact with people across the world with a single touch through social networking sites, such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Technology is clearly having some impact on the English language and the words we use. Recently we saw how some Internet words have made it to the Oxford dictionary this proves the impact it made, for example the word “Tweet” which means according to the dictionary: “a posting made on the social networking service Twitter”. However, some people think that it is okay to misuse Grammar or word spelling on social networking sites, for instance, using “your” instead of “You’re”. So do these sites make a positive or a negative impact on the English language? Literature review: A research titled “5 Ways That Social Media Benefits Writing the English language” written by Mallary Jean Tenore in 2013 mentioned some ways that social media benefits writing and language, such as how it increases the awareness of mistakes, when people make grammatical or spelling mistakes people will point them out via these websites therefore we become more aware of our spelling and grammar thus improving our language. She also talked about how it creates new words and meaning, such as “googled”, “tweeted”, “Friended”. She said that it also spotlight short writings meaning it valued short storytelling with Vine videos where you have just six seconds to give a message and in twitter you only have 140 characters to use which forces you to make every word count. 4 of 8 Another research called Social networkin ...

1 MN6003 Levis Strauss Case: Adapted from: “Does Levi Strauss still fit America?” by Caroline Fairchild October 6, 2014, Fortune Magazine and “Levi Strauss - The Boss and the yogi” Jul 12th 2014 from the Economist It used to be the only name in denim. Today the 161-year-old family owned company is just one name among hundreds. Can anyone bring the blue jeans pioneer back to its old glory? Enter Chip Bergh—a former P&G brand whiz who once made razorblades cool. Chip Bergh is not an “apparel guy,” he says, while walking through Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the new home of the San Francisco 49ers. Levi’s 20-year, $220 million investment in the naming rights for the 49ers stadium is part of a larger push to tap into the nostalgia Bergh believes everyone has for the brand. Despite the setting, Bergh isn’t really a “sports guy” either. He is much more of a company man. “I still bleed Procter & Gamble blue,” he says about his former employer. A crowd full of fans wearing your clothing is the fantasy of anyone heading an apparel company. But at Levi—the largest jeans company in the world and the undisputed founder of the category—the fantasy has been far from reality for a long time. The creator of the 501 has struggled to keep its brand relevant for what Bergh calls Levi’s “Lost Generation.” For 120 years the term “Levi’s” was synonymous with “blue jeans.” Then came the turn of the 21st century, when a fashion explosion in denim suddenly gave shoppers a range of high-end choices—including brands like 7 For All Mankind (founded in 2000) and True Religion (2002), whose labels sounded more like cults than pants. At the same time, lower-end rivals that had been kicking around for a while (Lee and Wrangler) began nibbling away at market share and consumers defected to cheaper jeans, sold by “fast-fashion” retailers like Zara and H&M. Levi got lost in the middle. With $7.1 billion in 1996 sales, the company used to be bigger than Nike. By 2003, Levi’s revenues had bell-bottomed out to $4.2 billion. Over the next decade, sales rose only barely as the company failed to translate affection for the brand into actual purchases. Levi’s design team was late to key trends, like colored denim for women and more tailored jeans for men. Once in the top quintile of the Fortune 500, Levi dropped off the list in 2012. That kind of decline would be a challenge for any new CEO, yet Bergh, a 57-year-old vegan and former U.S. Army captain, is bringing a discipline to the company that had been missing for nearly 20 years. He has taken an axe to the company’s inflated cost structure and is convinced that he can make Levi grow again. While still relying heavily on the classic pieces of clothing that are the seam of the denim giant’s business (think the button-fly jean, the white pocket tee, the trucker jacket), Bergh is now investing i ...

1 Lab 3: Newton’s Second Law of Motion Introduction Newton’s Second law of motion can be summarized by the following equation: Σ F = m a (1) where Σ F represents a net force acting on an object, m is the mass of the object moving under the influence of Σ F, and a is the acceleration of that object. The bold letters in the equation represent vector quantities. In this lab you will try to validate this law by applying Eq. 1 to the almost frictionless motion of a car moving along a horizontal aluminum track when a constant force T (tension in the string) acts upon it. This motion (to be exact the velocity of the moving object) will be recorded automatically by a motion sensor. The experimental set up for a car moving away from the motion sensor is depicted below. If we consider the frictionless motion of the cart in the positive x-direction chosen in the diagram, then Newton’s Second Law can be written for each of the objects as follows: T Ma (2) and – gT F ma  (3) From this system of equations we can get the acceleration of the system: 2 gF a m M   (4) Because the motion of the car is not frictionless, to get better results it is necessary to include the force of kinetic friction fk experienced by the moving car in the analysis. When the cart is moving away from the motion detector (positive x-direction in the diagram) Newton’s Second Law is written as follows for each of the moving objects m and M: 1 1– kT f Ma (5) and 1 1– gT F ma  (6) Since it is quite difficult to assess quantitatively the magnitude of kinetic friction involved in our experiment we will solve the problem by putting the object in two different situations in which the friction acts in opposite directions respectively while the tension in the string remains the same. When the cart M is forced to move towards the motion detector (negative x-direction in the diagram), the corresponding Newton’s Second Law equations will change as follows: 2 2kT f Ma   (7) and 2 2gT F ma  (8) Note that in equations 5, 6, 7, and 8 the direction of acceleration represented by vector a has been chosen in the same direction as the direction of motion. We are able to eliminate the force of kinetic friction on the final result, by calculating the mean acceleration from these two runs:  1 2 2 ave slope slope a   (9) Combing the equations (5) – (8) we derive the equation to calculate the value of gravitational acceleration:  avea M mg m   (10) 3 Equipment Horizontal dynamics track with smart pulley and safety stopper on one end; collision cart with reflector connected to a variable mass hanging over the pulley; motion detector connected to the Science Workshop interface recording the velocity of the moving cart.

1 of 1 DOCUMENT South China Morning Post June 11, 2007 Monday Who are we? BYLINE: An evolving sense of identity is changing the socio-political scene, writes Clarence Tsui SECTION: NEWS; Behind the News; Pg. 12 LENGTH: 1478 words Having appeared at the forefront of ill-fated campaigns to save Queen's Pier and Wan Chai's Wedding Card Street - not to mention the fame he attained four years ago as the youngest-ever candidate in district council elections - Chan King-fai is a veteran in fielding media questions these days. However polished as he might be, he recalls one particular question that really annoyed him a month ago. "It was this television journalist who was interviewing me for, well, one of those handover anniversary specials," he said. "And after all the deliberate questions, he said he had one final question he had to ask me: whether I feel I'm Chinese now. So after all the discussion that went on about our work, it boils down, again, to such a simplified view of things." It's easy to see the source of his ire: for someone who fronts a group called Local Action - comprising activists whose major objective is to salvage Hong Kong's heritage from the relentless claws of urban renewal - the old chestnut of taking sides on the Sino-British divide is akin to a swipe at his efforts in cultivate an organic cultural identity for Hong Kong. "It's always been such a rigid framework - either you choose to be an Anglophile, or you consider yourself Chinese. But it's so ridiculous: it's like when somebody said to me that since I admired Queen's Pier so much I must have feelings for the colonial era, and not for China," Mr Chan said. Fellow Local Action activist, Chow Sze-chung, agreed, saying: "When we talk about Queen's Pier, it's not just about British monarchs having landed here. What we wanted to remember is how more than 30 local social movements had begun and happened right here." Their view embodies a popular sentiment that bubbled among intellectuals before the handover on July 1, 1997, and has soared to the forefront in the past few years: that beneath all the focus of Hong Kong as an incidental success story that resulted from the political manoeuvres between two political powers, there's also a Hong Kong story to be written. In this story a Hong Kong-specific cultural identity - an indigenous mix of the city's history, from its social upheavals and heritage to its popular culture - plays a central role. And it's a mass social movement which basically propelled Mr Chan, his fellow activists and probably even more of the city's residents in acknowledging that there is a society out there and not just a co-existence of cynical, get-rich-quick individuals. Hackneyed this might sound, but the demonstration on July 1, 2003, instilled into many a Hongkonger a communal spirit and local consciousness that had been more or less ambivalent, or even absent, in the past. Page 1 Of course, it's not as if there weren't efforts to gal ...

1 James Joyce (1882-1941) Eveline (1914) She sat at the window watching the evening invade the avenue. Her head was leaned against the window curtains and in her nostrils was the odour of dusty cretonne. She was tired. Few people passed. The man out of the last house passed on his way home; she heard his footsteps clacking along the concrete pavement and afterwards crunching on the cinder path before the new red houses. One time there used to be a field there in which they used to play every evening with other people's children. Then a man from Belfast bought the field and built houses in it—not like their little brown houses but bright brick houses with shining roofs. The children of the avenue used to play together in that field—the Devines, the Waters, the Dunns, little Keogh the cripple, she and her brothers and sisters. Ernest, however, never played: he was too grown up. Her father used often to hunt them in out of the field with his blackthorn stick; but usually little Keogh used to keep nix and call out when he saw her father coming. Still they seemed to have been rather happy then. Her father was not so bad then; and besides, her mother was alive. That was a long time ago; she and her brothers and sisters were all grown up her mother was dead. Tizzie Dunn was dead, too, and the Waters had gone back to England. Everything changes. Now she was going to go away like the others, to leave her home. Home! She looked round the room, reviewing all its familiar objects which she had dusted once a week for so many years, wondering where on earth all the dust came from. Perhaps she would never see again those familiar objects from which she had never dreamed 2 of being divided. And yet during all those years she had never found out the name of the priest whose yellowing photograph hung on the wall above the broken harmonium beside the coloured print of the promises made to Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque. He had been a school friend of her father. Whenever he showed the photograph to a visitor her father used to pass it with a casual word: “He is in Melbourne now.” She had consented to go away, to leave her home. Was that wise? She tried to weigh each side of the question. In her home anyway she had shelter and food; she had those whom she had known all her life about her. O course she had to work hard, both in the house and at business. What would they say of her in the Stores when they found out that she had run away with a fellow? Say she was a fool, perhaps; and her place would be filled up by advertisement. Miss Gavan would be glad. She had always had an edge on her, especially whenever there were people listening. “Miss Hill, don't you see these ladies are waiting?” “Look lively, Miss Hill, please.” She would not cry many tears at leaving the Stores. But in her new home, in a distant unknown country, it would not be like that. Then she would be married—she ...

1 Ivy Bucsa SOC-320 June 28, 2015 David Claerbaut Policy and discourse on family responsibilities revolve around obligations and rights of parenting. The purpose of this paper is to present a discussion on responsibilities of spouses so that they attain a work-life balance. It is possible to transmit physical, mental, and moral qualities from parent to child. The burden of responsibility for the moral character of a wayward child rolls back from one generation to another. Parents have the responsibility of retaining the thread of sensuality bequeathed by earthly ancestors.[this sentence is not really clear] For many adults, marriage constitutes a central interpersonal relationship that engages a person. Shared and flexible performance of household tasks associated with mutual commitment and diffusion of responsibility. High attraction and stability in solidary marriages presumes to provide a basis of security for spouses. High marital satisfaction and satisfaction with their spouses helping behavior report low levels of stress and physical wellness. [Ivy, you are using a lot of large words and it actually makes this less clear. Make it simple and clear.] Spouses in personal and interpersonal relationships confront with conflict situations. Conflict in marriage institution arises due to child rearing differences, religious differences, sex relations, household chores, social activities, and interests. The repercussion of spousal conflicts is that they may an effect n their children, relatives, or even the society. A conflict situation can weaken a spousal relationship leading to separation or divorce. By the law of recurrence, it is possible to transmit qualities from grandparents to the grandchildren (De Lange, 2013). Some of the aspects of conflicts include aggression, hatred, fighting, or bitterness. All can admit that lamentable amount of domestic discontent and positive unhappiness grows out of the fact that the spouses have different ideas concerning a perfect marriage. In the past, policies that focused on children and families operated on the assumption that families were synonymous with mothers. In the modern day, fathers’ role is crucial in the contribution of child development. The government supports and encourages father involvement. Fathers are potentially relevant to the discussion of parenting cultures. Fatherhood irrespective of the degree of involvement cares for their children and other parental roles effectively. It is the duty of both fathers and mothers to provide smooth, steady, and evident love to all children without showing any partiality. Parents should provide useful love during high and low moments of the day. Fathers according to Magne[omit] Bakke (2006) are psychological role models for their children, provide an economic resource for the family and play an active role in the care of the children. A mother is in charge of all domestic work in her household whether she is working or a single mother. ...

1 Huffman Trucking Memo To: All Senior Staff From: Kristen Huffman, CEO & President Re: New Strategic Direction Thank you for attending our annual strategic planning session. Given recent changes in the economy and customer needs, a new direction for our company is necessary. After reviewing how other companies restructured themselves in recent years, we will mirror how UPS® conducts business as a partner/consultant with large customers. For our company, however, we will go a step further and become a warehousing/local just-in-time (JIT) delivery source, instead of providing logistics advice to clients, as UPS® does. To accomplish this, we must integrate this new direction into our upcoming strategic plan and financial planning. First, I need all department managers to prepare their budgets. I would also like our accounting department to move ahead on a preliminary set of pro forma statements, even without final budgets, using the following assumptions. They must determine if external funding is needed. I have attached a summary of assumptions about this new direction. New Strategic Direction  Page 2 1. Assume inflation of 4% on expenses, not including depreciation and taxes. This is in addition to the new initiative’s costs. New Strategic Initiative Assumptions Huffman may overcome increased competition and economic slowdown by initiating a new strategy; this will turn our company into a one-stop shop and key logistics company. We will provide consulting services, generate revenues, and become a JIT warehouse/delivery source. A local retailer selling products from a distant manufacturing plant, for example, may accept JIT deliveries, instead of 40-foot trailer loads. This would be fulfilled by the local operation. 2. Assume the following regarding variables versus fixed-nature-of-income-statement operating expenses for the existing business: a. 80% of wage benefits is variable and 20% is fixed. b. 100% of fuel expenses, purchased transportation, and operating supplies is variable. c. 100% of operating taxes is fixed. d. 20% of insurance and claims is fixed; the balance is variable. e. Assume depreciation, even with new expenditures, is fixed as the retirement of written-off assets, equaling new equipment. 3. There will be new spending areas reflected on future budgets to reflect added satellite warehouse costs and space rental and costs of running the locations. a. In the first year, add $10 million of inflation, space rental, and operating costs at 25% of revenues from the new initiative. b. In the second year, add $10 million space rental, with inflation at the same variable percentage of sales. c. In the third year, add $7.5 million of the variable percentage of sales. 4. In marketing, budget accounts have been added for new incurred costs. We will continue our present promotion and launch a new program, with the assistance of our marketing partner, the ABC ...

1 Hedging with Futures (13p) (a) Table 1 shows historical futures prices for crude oil traded on the NYMEX for the firstWednesday of each month in 2015. Prices are given for different contract maturities ranging from January 2015 to December 2015.1 Prices are quoted in USD per barrel and each contract is for 1000 barrels. Give an intuitive explanation of varying price patterns in the table. (Hint: Given the current dynamics of crude oil prices, what are your expectations about the size of the convenience yield and teh storage costs? On which months is the term structure of futures prices in contango or backwardation? Is this consistent with your initial expectation of the convenience yield?) (b) Suppose that crude oil is currently priced at $37 per barrel and that the crude oil futuresprice with 4-month delivery is $38.88 per barrel. Assuming a continuously compounded interest rate of 4.5% and a convenience yield of 5.5%, what are the current implied annualized storage costs? (c) Assume, as an exporter of crude oil, that you would like to lock in the price for alarge quantity of crude oil which you will produce 18 months from now.

A row corresponds to prices given on a particular date for different contract maturities. 2 02-Dec-15 *40.10 Table 1: NYMEX Futures prices for crude oil for the first Wednesday of each month in 2015. A * implies the spot price in the corresponding month. Source: Futures data from U.S. Energy Information Administration that the NYMEX futures crude oil contract for a 18-month delivery currently trades at $45.81 per barrel. Using the same assumptions and calculations made in (b), is there anything you would propose to do in this situation? (d) On Feb 6, 2015, as an airline company, you are concerned about a possible decreasein supply of oil over the next 6 months (i.e., August) due to tensions in the Middle East. Explain how you can use futures contracts to hedge your exposure to oil price risk. Assume the company would like to enter a position that is worth USD $3,500,000. How many contract ...
