One view is that the literacy rate has risen from 72% to 90% in the last 30 years. According to the 2005 Functional Literacy‚ Education‚ and Mass Media Survey conducted by the National Statistics Office (NSO)‚ 48.4 million or 84% of the estimated 57.6 million Filipinos who are 10 to 64 years old are said to be "functionally" literate (Source: "8 out of 10 Filipinos are functionally literate" by D.

Effect of osmosis rate on different surface areas‚ depending on different types of water solution An investigation showing the effect of surface area on osmosis rate‚ including some different types of water concentration. Osmosis is a type of passive (not requiring energy) transport of water molecules across partially permeable membrane‚ from an area of high water concentration into area of low water concentration. But how does surface area affect rate of osmosis? Surface area plays important

experiment is to determine the rate law and the activation energy for the reaction between persulfate ion‚ S2O82-‚ and iodide ion‚ I-: S2O82-(aq) + 2 I-(aq) 2 SO42-(aq) + I2(aq) The rate law can be written as Reaction rate = (1) Where m and n are the orders with respect to S2O82- and I-‚ respectively‚ and k is the rate constant. Determining the rate law involves determining the values of m and n. The temperature dependence of the rate constant is given by (2)

Chapter 5: Flow Rate and Capacity Analysis 5.1 Objective Chapter 3 introduced the three basic building blocks of process flow namely the (average) flow time‚ (average) flow rate and (average) inventory. It is followed by a sequence of three chapters‚ 4‚ 5 and 6‚ which examine each one of these measures individually. Chapter 5 is concerned with flow rate analysis and issues of capacity. The major managerial concept discussed in the in the chapter is that of the bottleneck. We use the notion

Interest Rates An interest rate is the rate at which interest is paid by borrowers for the use of money that they borrow from a lender. Specifically‚ the interest rate is a percent of principal paid a certain amount of times per period. Small companies often borrow capital from banks to buy new assets for its business‚ and in return the lender receives interest at a predetermined interest rate for deferring the use of funds and instead lending it to the borrower. Interest rates are
