The prime interest rate, which is also called the prime lending rate, is largely determined by thefederal funds rateset by the FOMC of the Federal Reserve. The fed funds rate is theovernight ratebanks and other financial institutions use to lend money to each other. The process is a const...
These stages primarily may consist of power devices like thepower BJTs or MOSFETs. Normally, single BJTs become sufficient for getting moderate output current, however when higher output current is required, it becomes necessary to add more number of these devices together. Therefore it becomes neces...
This results in a required force to release of 11.4 N at the tip of the contact zone, well below the forces encountered on impact, even at low speeds. Claw locking The torque that the claw can withstand before slipping is determined by the interface materials and contact between the ...

Introduction Obesity is linked to several metabolic disturbances such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM),...
The contact angle (CACA), which is present at the three-phase boundary between liquid, gas and soil surface, serves as a characteristic quantity for the wettability [4]. A CA of zero is referred to as wettable (hydrophilic), in the range 0°<CA<90°0°<CA<90° as reduced wettability...
Is the speed of light constant? The speed of light is a universal constant in a vacuum, like the vacuum of space. However, light *can* slow down slightly when it passes through an absorbing medium, like water (225,000 kilometers per second = 140,000 miles per second) or glass (200,...
We simulated over 200 cities worldwide to investigate how the street network affects vehicle routes. We demonstrate that there is a ubiquitous super-linear relationship between time and distance when optimal route are chosen. More precisely, the average
Calculating the Hazard Rate The hazard rate for any time can be determined using the following equation: h(t)=f(t)/R(t)h(t)=f(t)/R(t) F(t) is theprobability density function (PDF), or the probability that the value (failure or death) will fall in a specified interval, such as...
“and his compassion for the victim” are equally striking. Physician Helene Gayle, who spent five years with the Gates Foundation, overseeing its HIV, TB, and reproductive health programs and who is now CEO of The Chicago Community Trust, singles out the word “determined” before saying, ...
By doing this I create an emotional connection with my readers who may be on the fence about whether they should take the CPA exam or not. To most college students, $1 million dollars isn’t a real number that they can comprehend, but $25K is a number that they immediately can connect...
