Discuss the role of neural mechanisms involved in controlling eating and satiation. 8+16 or 4+8 1. The body is regulated by homeostatic mechanisms; concerning food intake this is dependent on glucose levels. Decrease in glucose levels means hunger levels increase‚ whereas an increase in glucose levels means satiation is reached. 2. Research has revealed two significant eating centres in the hypothalamus; the lateral hypothalamus (LH) and the ventro-medial hypothalamus (VMH). Research from the 1940s

Discounted Cash Flow Techniques for Capital Project Evaluation A discounted cash flow analysis is an important tool in capital budgeting as a means of evaluating proposed projects and comparing the growth potential of cash flows. Relevant incremental cash flows must be considered along with the costs of the investment itself in order to determine if the project is to be accepted or rejected. The considerations for acceptance or rejection of a project or slate of projects are the net present value
