This study compares the accounting standards of three different entities, the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the domestic accounting standards of France, and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The analysis consists of a comparison between two companies, British Airways and Air France – KLM, for FY 2005, specifically...
During exploration of imaging photosynthetic fluorimetry of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants, we discovered a novel phenomenon wherein photosynthetic efficiency (defined in Ning et al., 1995) is shown to plot in discrete groups. This exploration resulted first in the development of a spectrofluorometric method that apparently allows for in vivo observation of...
Paclitaxel is a very important anticancer drug commonly called Taxol®.
We know from previous work (Hoffman, et al., 1998) that Taxol exists in filbert, Corylus avellana L. material. Quantification of Taxol in filbert plant material is painstaking and hitherto was accomplished by rapidly processing single batches in a complicated procedure...
Imaging spectra of plant tissues yield considerable potential and useful information
for basic studies and agriculture practice. We constructed an imaging spectrophotometer
with spectral range from 400 nm to 1100 nm, which was used to study various
physiological events of plant germplasm: location of bundle sheath and mesophyll cells in...
The extensive adoption of social media has provoked widespread debate about how
online communication impacts social relationships. An apparent paradox of Facebook
is that people simultaneously express feeling more and less connected than ever
before. Through perspectives from psychology and communication studies, this thesis
addresses a question of public concern:...
Cursorial ground birds are paragons of bipedal running that span a
500-fold mass range from quail to ostrich. Here we investigate the
task-level control priorities of cursorial birds by analysing how they
negotiate single-step obstacles that create a conflict between body
stability (attenuating deviations in body motion) and consistent leg...
To achieve robust and stable legged locomotion in uneven terrain, animals must effectively coordinate limb swing and
stance phases, which involve distinct yet coupled dynamics. Recent theoretical studies have highlighted the critical
influence of swing-leg trajectory on stability, disturbance rejection, leg loading and economy of walking and running. Yet,
simulations...
