"What are those?" I asked my mom‚ walking through Toys "R" Us and pointing at a large box. "Those are Legos‚ you can put them together and build things‚" she responded. I stared at them‚ repeating the name in my head. Legos. It was a funny name. They looked like colorful bricks with holes in them. "Can we get them?" I asked.

Paragraph 1 Quartz-type iron phosphate‚ FePO4‚ exists in different phases at different temperatures. At low temperatures‚ it exists in the α-quartz-type phase‚ while at high temperatures‚ it exists in the β-quartz-type phase. The α-β phase transition occurs at 980K. In terms of lattice symmetry‚ α-FePO4 exhibits a trigonal lattice system‚ whereas β-FePO4 exhibits a hexagonal lattice system. In terms of space symmetry‚ α-FePO4 belongs to the P3121 space group‚ while β-FePO4 belongs to the P6422 space

3. Result and discussion 2.1 Physicochemical properties The formations of BPM I-III were confirmed by FT-IR‚ powder XRD and SEM studies. 2.1.1 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR spectra of BPM I-BPM III (Fig. 1a-1c) exhibited characteristic absorption bands of CTS ranges from 1637-1639 cm−1 which are attributed to amide I bands (C=O stretching mode along with an N–H deformation mode). Broad bands from 1130-978 cm−1‚ 1131-975 cm−1 and 1131-971 cm−1 were observed for phosphate stretching

Capital budgeting is a complex process and there are five broad phases. These are planning‚ analysis‚ selection‚ implementation and overview. Planning The planning phase involves investment strategy and the generation and preliminary screening of project proposals. The investment strategy provides the framework that shapes‚ guides and circumscribes the identification of individual project opportunities. Capital Budgeting Process Analysis If the preliminary screening suggests that the project
