widespread corruption for many years. For 2012‚ China was ranked 80th out of 178 countries in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index‚ ranking below the most of developed countries. This severe problem has become the target of public criticism. The 2002 Mainland China national survey‚ a part of the Asian Barometer Survey I‚ indicated that almost half of people view corruption in government as a common and serious problem. Then what are the determinants of corruption? According

CPI (Consumer price index) A consumer price index (CPI) measures changes in the price level of consumer goods and services purchased by households. The CPI is a statistical estimate constructed using the prices of a sample of representative items whose prices are collected periodically. GDP deflator In economics‚ the GDP deflator (implicit price deflator for GDP) is a measure of the level of prices of all new‚ domestically produced‚ final goods and services in an economy. GDP stands for gross

Objective The objective of this experiment is to understand reflection and refraction and how they vary with different matters. At the end of this experiment‚ you will be able to: Determine index of refraction of various solutions Recognize the passage of refracted beams though different medium Understand the concept of Snell’s Law Understand how the speed of electromagnetic waves in different matters are related Determine the critical angle for total internal reflection Materials 550

The refractive index Aim: The aim of this experiment is to find the refractive index of a glass prism. In this experiment‚ the independent variable is the angle of incidence‚ and the dependent variable is the angle of refraction. Theory: Snell’s law relates the angle of incidence and refraction to the ratio of the velocity of the wave in the different media. The formula for Snell’s law is the following: Sin isinr = v1v2 = n Where i is the angle of incidence‚ r is the angle of refraction

The Inaba text describes the phenomenon of "therapeutic index." Addiction to barbiturates can be critical in terms of lethality as measured by the therapeutic index. Describe how this phenomenon might lead to an accidental overdose. Why is this factor more critical with barbiturates than with other classes of depressant drugs? Barbiturates are nonselective central nervous system (CNS) depressants‚ capable of producing all degrees of depression from mild sedation and hypnosis to general anesthesia
