...conducted by a number of subjects, testing heart rates (beats/min) prior to consuming either decaffeinated or caffeinated coffee (as a blind test). Following consumption, heart rates are tested and recorded. An aerobic step test is completed one hour after consumption, to measure and establish the effect caffeine consumption has on aerobic capacity and heart rate. The experiment will also test whether the hypothesis is supported in stating that the consumption of caffeine will increase the body’s heart rate during exercise. Method Refer to the school of life and environmental sciences (2018) Results The sample size of the study conducted to establish the effects of caffeine on aerobic capacity included 55 replicates consuming decaffeinated coffee compared to 48 replicates consuming caffeinated coffee. From the results recorded the mean heart rate (beats/min) pre treatment for those who consumed decaffeinated coffee was 80.6 beats/min (bpm) with a standard error (SE) of 2.1 compared to 79.3 bpm with a SE of 1.8 for those who consumed caffeinated coffee, expressing a difference in the mean of 1.3 bpm (Figure 1). Post treatment the mean heart rate increased minimally with decaffeinated coffee increasing by 1.6 and caffeinated coffee increasing by 2.8. Creating a difference of 0.1 between decaffeinated and caffeinated post treatment, which was previously a difference of 1.3 (Figure 1). The mean heart rate for decaffeinated coffee post exercise were 133.8 with a SE of 3.5 bpm compared with...

...function there is an increase in respiratory activity. This increase in respiratory activity leads to an increase in cardiovascular activity. The primary role of the heart is to pump oxygenated blood throughout the body. When exercising the skeletal muscles require more oxygen to aid in metabolic processes and the heart has to beat harder and faster to ensure the muscles have sufficient oxygen. The aims and objectives of this practical experiment were to record the effects of exercise or work on cardiovascular parameters and to record the effects of exercise on body temperature. The cardiovascular parameters measured in this lab include, heart rate (HR), blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), duration of the PR segment and RR interval. Materials and Methods: The materials and methods were followed as per EQ4058 Equine Exercise Physiology Practical Manual, Lab 4 the Effect of Exercise on the Human Cardiovascular System. Results: Table 1 shows the results obtained when group b measured the cardiovascular values of a subject at rest, after 5 minutes exercise, after 10 minutes exercise, after 15 minutes exercise, after 5 minutes post pull and 10 minutes post pull up. The values measured in this experiment include the heart rate, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, the mean arterial pressure, temperature, duration of the PR segment and the...

...2009; Smirmaul et al. 2017; Grgic et al. 2018) the drug appears to illicit. However, various studies go against this, finding caffeine does not increase an individual’s athletic ability (Soeren and Graham 1998, Acker-Hewitt et al. 2012). By measuring the aerobic capacity of a sample of subjects pre and post consumption, this experiment will determine the effects of caffeine in relation to the improvement of athletic ability, and in doing so, further the gap in the understanding of the drug in relation to whether it brings about a positive impact on aerobic capacity, with minimal side effects. To determine aerobic capacity, the experiment will gauge VO2max; the maximum rate an individual’s muscles can utilise oxygen, by comparing the mean resting pulse rate to the mean post workout pulse rate of a sample of subjects who have consumed either caffeine in the form of coffee, or a placebo decaf. Whilst exercising, muscle requires an increased intake of oxygen due to the demand for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - energy - supplied through an increased blood flow, distributed by the heart muscle moving blood at a faster rate (Duncker & Bache, 2008). Hence by determining the mean pulse rate post-exercise compared to pre-exercise, a measure of VO2max can be taken. As such, the subjects will undergo a “step test”; stepping up and down a step for 5 minutes, at a rate which increases each minute of the test. A measurement of mean pulse rate will be taken before and after the test, and as such...

...Howl In the post-World War II years, a cultural and literary movement began. A new generation of American writers, artists and thinkers reacted and expressed their ideas in obscene forms. They were called “The Beats” who were formed in the 1950’s by poets Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac. Howl by Allen Ginsberg illustrates America’s post-World War II culture and political issues through his journey and views. The use of metaphors, tone, and descriptive language draw parallels between the ideas of, conformity to institutions, sexual repression, and religion. According to the Dictionary of Literary Biography, Allen’s Ginsberg was a popular poet after World War II. He was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1926. Ginsberg attended college at Columbia...

...From the scenario for Katrina’s Candies, determine the relevant costs for the expansion decision, and distinguish between the short run and the long run costs. Recommend the key decision-making criteria that Katrina’s Candies should use for expansion decisions in the short run and in the long run. Provide rationale for your response. Relevant costs are those that are avoidable or can be eliminated by choosing one alternative over another. Relevant costs are also known as differential, or incremental, costs. In general, variable costs are relevant in production decisions because they vary with the level of production. Likewise, fixed costs are generally not relevant, because they typically do not change as production changes. However, variable costs can remain the same between two alternatives, and fixed costs can vary between alternatives. For example, if the direct material cost of a product is the same for two competing designs, the material cost is not a relevant factor in choosing a design. However, other qualitative factors relating to the material, such as durability, may still be relevant. Likewise, fixed costs can be relevant if they vary between alternatives. Consider rent paid for a facility to store inventory. Although the rent is a fixed cost, it is relevant to a decision to reduce inventory storage costs through justin-time production techniques if the cost of the rent can be avoided (by subleasing the space, for example) by choosing one alternative over another...

...like no time for anyone, not even those we love and care about. There is a rather shocking lack of communication between people in our rapidly advancing generation. In Paul Dooley and Winnie Holzman’s play Post-Its (Notes on a Marriage), we watch as two young people who are in love and newly married, begin to leave each other post its notes when they have no time for communication with one another. The author successfully tells an amazing love story using a unique means of communication. According to Anne Maydan Nicotera, “communication is critical to inter-personal relationships” (Nicotera). The notes vary from topics such as one not wanting to wake the other as they leave early for work, for tasks that need to be completed throughout the day. The audience, through the reading of the post- its notes views the couple’s life as it goes through the early stages of a relationship, to having a child, to a downhill slide of their relationship, the steady reconstruction of a marriage, and eventually it goes on until one of the two passes on. By leaving these post-its notes, the unnamed couple manages to have a basis of communication upon which they both are able to agree upon. They manage to find a convenient and effective way to convey what they need to say to one another through post-its notes, and even though things get rough, and arguments ensue, they find their strength and return to one another. Their relationship is refound with a clean slate, and although there are occasional...

...Effects of Caffeine on a Person’s Cardiovascular System INTRODUCTION Caffeine is a stimulant that makes a person’s heart beat faster (Nunley 2013). This effect of caffeine is usually seen as a negative one and that it hearts your cardiovascular health overall. A lower heart rate, both resting and post exercise, is said to be better if the rate is lower because it puts you at a lower risk of having a stroke or heart disease (Boyles 2002). Having a lower rate is preferred because it means that your heart is working at a slower sped to pump the amount of blood necessary for your body. (Simon 2015) We predicted that people with lower daily caffeine consumption will have lower resting and lower post exercise heart rates. MATERIALS AND METHODS We had teams of three. Each person took a tally of their normal caffeine consumption on an average day. Each team took their resting pulse (after waiting until they were sitting down for at least five minutes to make sure our pulse was back to normal resting heart rate) by counting the amount of times they could feel a beat on either their wrist or their neck for a whole 60 seconds. The groups of students then completed the 3-minute step test where they followed the beat of a metronome at 100 bpm on a step that was 12 inches in height. Immediately following the ending of the step test, the students took their pulse once again for an entire 60 seconds. We then took a look at our heart rates compared to the national rankings to see how...

...GOODWILL What is the definition of Goodwill? Goodwill is an intangible asset that mostly appears as the biggest intangible asset on the balance sheet. The Goodwill can only be identified with the business as a whole. Therefore, the goodwill cannot be sold individually in the marketplace, while some other intangible assets can be sold. Goodwill is not easy to measure, because it includes exceptional management, desirable locations, customer relations, and so on. The determination of the Goodwill is therefore most of the time very subjective. Companies only record the goodwill when there is an exchange transaction the involves the purchase of an entire business. When the company is purchased by another company, the goodwill on the transaction is calculated as follows: the company debits the identifiable acquired assets and credits the liabilities at their fair values, credits cash for the purchase price and finally records the difference as the goodwill. Give examples of companies who own the intangible asset(s) 1. Famous example is Microsoft completed the acquisition of all of the Nokia Devices and Services (“NDS”) in 2013. Microsoft acquired Nokia for $7.2 billion in 2013. This was a huge opportunity for Microsoft as Nokia's products are trustworthy and have goodwill in the market, with the Nokia Lumia, Nokia Asha, etc. Thanks to this merge, Microsoft has increased its level of synergy, goodwill, brand name, better marketing environment and capability...

...To Determine the Effect of an Exercise Regime on Heart Rate and Recovery Time Introduction The events of the cardiac cycle are initiated and controlled by electrical signals generated by two nodes in the heart (Boyle and Senior, 2008). Nodes are specialised tissues strategically placed in the heart that act as nervous and muscle tissue. When nodal tissue contracts, it generates nerve impulses that travel throughout the heart wall (About.com, n.d.). Figure 1 – Cardiac Conduction Yellow Arrows/Aspects = journey of signals Area of Bundle of His/Purkinje Fibres Ventricular Septum Aorta – to the body Pulmonary Artery – to the lungs The location of the cardiac nodes is shown in figure 1. A single heartbeat begins with an electrical signal generated by the sino-atrial node, on the wall of the right atrium. This node is often referred to as the ‘pacemaker’ of the heart (it regulates the heartbeat). This signal spreads over the walls of both atria, causing them to contract and fill the ventricles. Once the ventricle walls have filled, the atrio-ventricular node picks up the signal and directs it down the ventricular septum and onto the bundle of His. From here, the signal spreads throughout the Purkinje fibres in the ventricle walls causing them to contract, pushing the blood out of the pulmonary artery and aorta. (Drugline.ord, n.d.) Heart rate is controlled by the two branches of the autonomic nervous system - the sympathetic and parasympathetic. The sympathetic...
