But for the past two years‚ one U.S. university has attacked the problem directly. Students and faculty conducting energy and smart grid research at the University of Texas have had access to a treasure trove of knowledge found nowhere else on earth: billions of time-stamped data records from the Pecan Street Research Institute’s original field research that measure

Bonds-1. Interest on a certain issue of bonds is paid annually with a coupon rate of 8%. The bonds have a par value of $1‚000. The yield to maturity is 9%. What is the current market piece of these bonds? The bonds will mature in 5 years. P= CPN x (1/y) {1-[1/(1+y)^n] + [FV/ (1+y)^n] CPN= 1000 x .08= 80 P= 80 (1/.09) {1- [1/(1.09)^5]} + [1000/(1.09)^5] = 73.39 (.351) + 649.35 = $675.11 Bonds-2.

assets and liabilities is assumed to represent goodwill (the unidentifiable intangible asset)‚ which is not amortized under current GAAP but is reviewed periodically for impairment. In contrast‚ identifiable intangible assets would be amortized if they have a definite life but not if the life is indefinite in duration. Thus‚ only if the $600‚000 pertained to an identifiable intangible asset with a finite life would amortization be required. We assume that is not the case here. 2011 Pearce

Theory The first experiment focused on the concept of errors and uncertainties that are obtained during measurements. For an experiment to be successful‚ especially those that involve measurements‚ the number of significant figures must be known. Significant figures are the digits required to express a measured quantity and thus reflect the accuracy of the measurement. Uncertainty is defined as the smallest increment that can be measured and is defined by the instrument used. An error is defined

In surveys they often use arbitrary numbers to code variables such as religion‚ ethnicity‚ major in college or gender. In fact‚ with nominal variables measurement means: classifying cases in (unordered) groups. (A group can have a single member

Introduction Wrong or inaccurate measurements can lead to wrong decisions‚ which can have serious consequences‚ costing money and even lives. The human and financial consequences of wrong decisions based on poor measurement being taken in matters as important as environmental change and pollution are almost incalculable. It is important therefore to have reliable and accurate measurements which are agreed and accepted by the relevant authorities worldwide. Metrologists are therefore continuously
