Human Development

Sigmund Freud is considered the father of Psychology owing to his immense contribution in the study of Psychology. Freud articulated the Psychosexual Theory of personality Development, which has gained much recognition worldwide by other psychologist. Freud argues that children are born with sexual energy that gets satisfied in different parts of the body as they grow. On the other hand, Erik Erikson, a German Psychologist proposed eight stages through which all individuals go through, and he called the stages Psychosocial Stages of Development, stages that he categorically termed ‘conflicts’. Resolution of one stage brings the foundation of negotiating the challenges ...

Introduction

The kinetic characteristics are important for the design of chemical engineering processes. They allow assessing the time required for the reaction and choosing the temperature range suitable for the reaction.
The reaction path is observed by measurments the transmittance of the Crystal Violet solution that reacts with sodium hydroxide. The concentration, and the color of the solution changes with the reaction flow, and this is measured by the spectrophotometer.

The data are plotted as concentration - time and logarithm concentration time, and the reaction rate is:

Rate = [Crystal Violet] [Sodium Hydroxide].
Using the excess concentration of one of the reagents, the reaction rate with respect to the other reagent is found from logarithmic plot (Rahul & Chakrabarti ...

Introduction

Bend (flexure) testing is often done in springs as well in brittle materials whose behaviors of failure are linear like concrete, wood, plastic, glass and ceramics. Bend testing is suitable for evaluating the strength of brittle materials where the results of tensile tests aren’t easy to interpret due to the breaking of specimens around the gripping (Schoffstall, Charles, and Robert 234). In bend testing experiment, smooth rectangular specimens without notches are recommended under three or four point bend arrangements. Figure I below illustrates three point and four point bend arrangements respectively.
Figure 1. Bend testing of a smooth ...

Abstract

The experiment involved the investigation of the young’s modulus of different beams made from different materials. The beams that were used for the test were steel, aluminum and timber. The experiment involved placing of the beams on the measurement machine shown below and addition of loads at the center of the beam. The loads were then varied across the beams while investigating the relationship that existed between the beams when different loads were added. The height, width, and the respective deflections were therefore recorded for analysis. The dial gauge was used to measure the deflection of the beam ...

Abstract

In this experiment, the young modulus of three beams was investigated these were steel, aluminum and timber. The beams were placed and the deflections values upon addition of various loads at the Centre of the beam taken. There was a variation of the loads across the beam to investigate thee relationship that existed between the loads, the span width, height, and deflections. Measurement of the deflection was therefore done through the dial gauge with three sets of measurements being taken and the average calculated. Different beams were used to enable elaborate comparison of the coefficient of elasticity. Measurement of ...

Horse-run carts portrayed the streetscape right up until the commencement of the previous century, but the arrival of the vehicle, which Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler created separately of one another in the year 1886, instituted a totally fresh combination of needs as compared to those connected with horse-run carts – particularly where the suspension was a concern: it was essential to handle superior pace, without jeopardizing road travelers. Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler assumed dissimilar approaches to this issue: while Benz chose the cycle as the initiating point for his Copyright Motor Car and employed a navigating head plus ...

Introduction

Receiving education is a costly choice. There are costs to education in terms of direct monetary payments and an opportunity costs. The choice to go to school means forgoing waged employment. Therefore, there is an opportunity costs of the wages that would have been earned. Therefore, there is a need to compare the returns versus the cost of education to make optimal decisions. Estimating the returns to education for any population segment is useful in making decisions on the optimal schooling level at both a personal as well as societal level. From a policy standpoint, estimating returns to education ...

The study participants had diverse demographic profiles in terms of race, educational background, and marital status. A preliminary analysis was conducted to identify factors that show some relationship with wages among the variables in the dataset. A preliminary analysis revealed that wages appear to be influenced by age, educational attainment, and race. A ...

Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to determine the relationship between the Young’s Modulus and the deflection of a beam. Since different materials have different values of Young’s Modulus, the students selected three different materials for the experiment. In this case, the materials used include timber, aluminium, and steel. All the materials were identical in terms of the dimensions such as width and length. The each beam of the three materials was subjected to some magnitude of force at the centre and deflection measured. Data concerning the magnitude of load and the corresponding defection were then gathered ...

BUSINESS FINANCING

Introduction
Business owners and managers seeking financing encounters an essential decision regarding choice of whether to borrow money or to make use new equity capital. Given that equity and debts have very varied characteristics, each of them has different effect on cash-flow, earnings, and taxes as well as on balance sheet. They also have different impacts on any company`s dilution, leverage as well as a host for other financial metrics by which companies are measured. Lastly, each business financing options presents a different kind of relationship in relation to the financing source. Thus, a company`s plan on ...

Abstract

The aim of the experiment was to determine the relationship between the diameter of a steel ball and its terminal velocity in glycerol. Four balls with different diameters were put in a transparent cylinder full of glycerol. The velocity of the ball was calculated based on the time taken for the ball to pass from one mark on the cylinder to another. The results showed that an increase in the diameter of the steel ball leads to an increase in terminal velocity. Besides, the results show that the larger the diameter of the steel ball is, the faster the ...
