Ratio decidendi and obiter dicta Learning objectives At the end of this module‚ you will be able to: * distinguish between ratio decidendi and obiter dicta. * apply well-established rules to identify the ratio decidendi in a decision. This module is intended as a useful exercise in revision. If you are certain that you understand how to discover the ratio in an opinion‚ you should skim lightly over this material. What is the ratio decidendi? As you probably recall from your studies

CHAPTER 3 Response surface methodology 3.1 Introduction Response surface methodology (RSM) is a collection of mathematical and statistical techniques for empirical model building. By careful design of experiments‚ the objective is to optimize a response (output variable) which is influenced by several independent variables (input variables). An experiment is a series of tests‚ called runs‚ in which changes are made in the input variables in order to identify the reasons for changes in

PROFITABILITY RATIOS RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI): The prime objective of making investments in any business is to obtain satisfactory return on capital invested. Hence‚ the return on capital employed is used as a measure of success of a business in realizing this objective. Return on Investment establishes the relationship between the profit and the capital employed. It indicates the percentage of return on capital employed in the business and it can be used to show the overall profitability

Surface Tension Properties of Liquids Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to measure and record the surface tension of water and other aqueous solutions using capillary rise method techniques and practicing lab safety. In this laboratory the surface tension of water depends on the concentration of the following solutes; NaCl‚ acetone‚ and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Intermolecular interactions as well as other phases (solid‚ or air) make a liquid exist. The data collected will show

Structure of Gaseous Exchange Surfaces in Humans‚ Fish‚ Insects and Frogs Gaseous Exchange is a biological process where oxygen diffuses into the body or bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the body or blood stream. This process is different for Humans‚ Fish. Frogs and Insects. Humans: In humans the gas exchange system is known as the Respiratory system. The respiratory surface is the Alveoli located on Bronchial tubes inside of the lungs. The average human adult has about 600 million

gravity and the type of surface was tested through a series of experiments. In lab 4.1‚ the force of gravity was tested through various surface types‚ including: tabletop‚ waxed paper‚ paper towel‚ fine sandpaper‚ and coarse sand paper. In lab 4.2‚ two different surface types that were tested included: tabletop and coarse sand paper. This lab compared the two averages between both tabletop and coarse sandpaper using different amounts of blocks. In lab 4.3‚ the surface area of the blocks sliding across

light intensity onto the leaf’s surface and the surface area of the leaf. Hypothesis I think the light intensity could affect the surface area in the following way: ·A higher light intensity could make the surface area of the leaf larger. The reason I think a higher light intensity could make the surface area larger is the fact that there would be a larger amount of chlorophyll‚ containing chloroplasts‚ for photosynthesis. By having leaves of a larger surface area‚ there would be a much more efficient
