Stems - profusely branched; glabrate or puberulent (bark corky, twigs smooth)
inflorescence: The plant produces abundant inflorescences at the ends of the stem branches, each
a cluster of bright yellow flowers. Each flower has usually four petals and six whiskery
protruding stamens with curling tips holding the anthers. The fruit is an inflated capsule about 4
centimeters long and usually oval in shape. It is smooth and green when new, aging to light
brown. Fruits when dry, resemble a paper lantern that rattles (the seeds inside the dried fruit
rattle around). The flowers are dense terminal racemes. The calyx is four-cleft and the sepals are
fused in the basal half. It has four petals ½” long, 6 yellow stamens that are long and a pistil with
a short style. Sepals persistent, connate ca. 1/2 of length, green, lanceolate, 4–7 × 2.2–4 mm,

A) Explain how bilateral symmetry contributed to motion and cephaliz.pdfarihantpatna
A) Explain how bilateral symmetry contributed to motion and cephalization (the evolution of a
head and brain)? B) Explain the common adaptations for reproduction seen in both: organisms
with a parasitic life-style and sessile organisms (those that do not move). C) Explain why those
adaptations are beneficial for each life-style.
Solution
When the animal has right and left sides morror images of each other such a symettry is called
bilateral symmetry.
Bilateral symmetry has contributed to both cephalization and locomotion in animals possessing
them. Animals wuth bilateral symmetry has locomotive organs legs on opposite sides of the body
in symmetrical position. This symmetrical arrangement of locomotive organs enables these
animalsto move thotougjly in steady direction.
Bilateral symmetry resulted in the concentration of brain ,nerves, sense organs ,eyes to the

Which is the appropriate test (Z test, single sample, independent samples t or related samples t)
for the following: A researcher is interested in determining whether a new med for appetite
suppression is effective by giving the med to one group that has been matched on weight with
another group that reveives a placebo.
Solution
As the medicine is given to two groups and we want to test whether a new med for appetite
suppression is effective or not. This can be tested only by considering the data of the two
samples and taking their difference.
So, the test has to be a two sample test. So, the possibility of a Z test or a single sample t-test is
nullified. Next, as the two sample data are matched by weight, so the data of the two samples are
no more independent. Hence, the option of independent t-test is also nullified.
So, we are only left with the related sample t-test. And this is also supported by the data. As they
are matched by weight, so they are related to each other. Hence we would go for aa \'related

What specific mutation is in each of the following proto-oncogenes: A)EGF receptor, B) Ras, C)
Src kinase, would cause them to become oncogenes? Explain.
Solution
A) The most common EGFR mutations are deletion of exon 19 which converts the EGFR proto
oncogene to oncogene that leads to lung cancer. B) Ras proto-oncogene encodes a protein that
receives and transfers signals required for cell division. Mutation at amino acid position 12 or 61
causes formation of oncoprotein that leads to uncontrolled cell division. Thus mutation of amino
acid 12 or 61 converts Ras proto-oncogene to oncogene. C) A truncating mutation of codon 531
of SRC proto-oncogene converts it into oncogene that leads to colorectal cancer.

6. List and define the underlying conditions, or assumptions, which have had an impact on the
development of GAAP.
Solution
ANSWER:
The underlying conditions/ assumptions, which have had an impact on the development of
GAAP are as follows:
--Business entity: The company for which the financial statements are prepared is distinct and
separate from the owners.
--Going concern or continuity : The assumption is made that the organisation will remain in
business for an indefinite time frame.
--Monetary unit : Accountants requires certain standard of measure to bring financial
transactions together in an appropriate way.
--Realization: Revenue must be recognized when the earning process is virtually complete and
the exchange value need to be objectively determined
--Matching: This concept states to recognize the costs that are related with the recognized
revenue
--Full disclosure: Accounting reports must disclose all facts that may influence the judgment of
an informed reader
--Materiality: The approach involves the relative size and importance of an item to a business.
--Verifiability: The accountant need to adhere as closely as possible to verifiable data.
--Industry practices: Few business use accounting reports that do not conform to the general
theory that underlies accounting
--Transaction approach : The accountant records only events that affect the business financial
position and also can be reasonably determined in monetary terms.
--Accrual basis: Expenses need to recognized when incurred (matching concept), and revenue
are to be recognized when it is realized (realization concept), and
--Consistency: The business must give the similar treatment to comparable transactions from
period to period
--Conservatism : The measurement with the least favorable effect on financial position and net
income in the current period need to be selected.
--Historical cost : Of the numerous values that could be used, the objective and determinable
value should be selected
-- Time period With this assumption, inaccuracies of accounting for entity short of its complete
life span are accepted..

Using the six general trends of the general environment, give a hypothetical example of how
each trend could affect a restaurant business.
Solution
There are six general trends of the general environment--
1) Demographic Segment--It consists of people from different ethnic groups like Indians,
Europeans, Asians etc and its affect on a business. In case of a restaurant business opening of a
Indian restaurant in China will attract lower customers
2)Socio Cultural Segment--It consists of diverse set of people in the workplace who helps in the
company\'s success in the Global Market. E.g. a business employing women, not engaging into
racial discrimination etc. will attract more employees
3)Economic Segment--It depends on the nation\'s economic condition in the World Market. In
case of a restaurant business, an economic slowdown or recession will have a negative impact on
the business.
4)Legal Segment--This segment is dependent on an economy\'s governance laws, policies,
taxation laws and regulations for its employees. In case of restaurant business, a restaurant set up
in a country with heavy taxes and strict regulation, operations can be difficult and prove to be of
losses.
5)Technological Segment--It relates to technological advancements and updation of newer
technology at pace with the competitors. In case of restaurant business, restaurants adopting
newer technologies will be able to produce more and earn more
6)Global Segment--This segment expands the organisation globally so that it can gain a
competitive advantage over its competitors when they have a global presence in the industry. In
case of a restaurant business, going global can prove to be profitable if given chances..

Hydrophilic substance interact with water and willabsorb it easly . Hydrophobicmeans it seperate
the water . Cellulise is a plymer chain of monosachhride . It is hydrophilic and atrract water
molecules due to its functional group . But it is aplymer chai water does not have ability to
surround compltely each monomerof cellulose fiber .Polymer is less soluble than monomwes
because of entropy . cellulose have hydrogen bond but not as well as water and plymer have low

Pattern of Stars
Listing 6.4 in the text book demonstrates the use of a nested for loop by printing a pattern of
asterisks (stars), starting from the least number of stars per row (1) to the most number of stars
per row (10). You will modify this program so that it does the following:
Asks the user how many rows of stars they want.
Prints the stars starting with the least stars per row and ending with the most stars per row, but
the stars must be lined up along the right margin instead of the left. (In other words, print a
version of the pattern that has been flipped horizontally i.e. along a vertical axis).
You will need:
An input statement to prompt the user for the number of rows.
An assignment statement to store the number of rows.
A nested for loop as shown in Listing 6.4 (pg 263). You will need to modify the conditions in
some of your for loops to accomplish this task.
This time, you will need two for loops nested within the outermost loop.
The outer loop will control the number of rows, as in the example.
One of the inner loops will control the number of stars per row, again as in the example.
You will need to create another for loop that controls the number of spaces per row, to achieve
the intended pattern. The spaces need to be printed before each row of stars is printed.
Note: The two inner loops do not have to be nested. See the code shell for the intended design.
Sample output:
Enter the number of rows: 8

Let’s assume 3M produces “Command Hooks” at a rate of 10,000 units per day. Before
reconfiguring their production process, their flowtime through the process was 100 days. After
reconfiguring, the new flowtime is 35 days. After reconfiguring, how many units of work in
progress inventory are in the process?
< 100,000
Between 100,000 and 300,000
Between 300,000 and 600,000
Between 600,000 and 900,000
>900,000
< 100,000
Between 100,000 and 300,000
Between 300,000 and 600,000
Between 600,000 and 900,000
>900,000
Solution
The number of units in the work in progress inventory would be in the range of 600,000 and
900,000.
As the flowtime has decreased from 100 days to 35 days, thus there would be inventory of 65
days remaining in the process or in other words there would be wor in process remaining for 65
days.
Earlier, when the flowtime was 100 days, then each day production was 10,000, hence inventory
in the system would be for 65 days and related with producing 10,000 units per day, which
would come in the range of 600,000-900,000..
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
