...Carbon (from Latin: carbo "coal") is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. As a member of group 14 on the periodic table, it is nonmetallic and tetravalent—making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. There are three naturally occurring isotopes, with 12C and 13C being stable, while 14C is radioactive, decaying with a half-life of about 5,730 years.[14] Carbon is one of the few elements known since antiquity.[15] There are several allotropes of carbon of which the best known are graphite, diamond, and amorphous carbon.[16] The physical properties of carbon vary widely with the allotropic form. For example, graphite is opaque and black, while diamond is highly transparent. Graphite is soft enough to form a streak on paper (hence its name, from the Greek word "γράφω" which means "to write"), while diamond is the hardest naturally-occurring material known. Graphite is a very good conductor, while diamond has a very low electrical conductivity. Under normal conditions, diamond, carbon nanotubes, and graphene have the highest thermal conductivities of all known materials. All carbon allotropes are solids under normal conditions, with graphite being the most thermodynamically stable form. They are chemically resistant and require high temperature to react even with oxygen. The most common oxidation state of carbon in inorganic compounds is +4, while +2 is found in carbon monoxide and other transition metal carbonyl complexes. The largest sources...

...Självständigt casearbete: Instruktioner för den skriftliga rapporten Strategi med finansiell och ekonomisk styrning, FE6610 Höstterminen 2012 Uppgiften Under kursen kommer ni att arbeta i en grupp om 5-6 studenter med ett verkligt företagscase enligt de instruktioner som finns i studiehandledningen. Casearbetet skall avrapporteras och summeras i en slutlig caserapport vid kursens slut. Ni kan emellertid börja arbeta med och förbereda för caserapporten redan vid kursens start. Syftet med rapporten är att visa att ni kan (jämför förväntade läranderesultat): * beskriva och analysera ett företag och dess verksamhet utifrån ett strategiskt, finansiellt och ekonomistyrningsperspektiv. * använda begrepp och modeller från respektive område på ett riktigt sätt. * integrera de olika företagsekonomiska ämnena och förstå vilka konsekvenserna av olika beslut om affärsutveckling blir för strategiska, finansiella och ekonomistyrningsfrågor * använda och värdera extern företagsinformation på ett kritiskt sätt. Utöver den skriftliga rapporten så kommer casearbetet också att presenteras muntligt vid kursens slut. Den muntliga presentationen kommer att göras i form av ett rollspel. Ni kommer, som konsulter, att kort presentera er företagsanalys och era förändringsförslag inför en ledningsgrupp (en annan studentgrupp). Presentationen kommer att vara ganska informell. Ledningsgruppens medlemmar kommer att ha läst rapporten i förväg och kommer att ställa frågor...

...Sdfsd fsssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssss sssss ssssss sss sssssssss ssssssss ssssssssssssssssss ssssssss sssssssssss fsdferwerwerwerwer Wer W W Er W Er W Werw EASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration on Monday will roll out a plan to cut earth-warming pollution from power plants and 30 percent by 2030, setting in motion one of the most significant actions to address global warming in U.S. history. The rule, which is expected to be final next year, will set the first national limits on carbon dioxide, the chief gas linked to global warming from the nation's power plants. They are the largest source of greenhouse gases in the U.S., accounting for about a third of the annual emissions that make the U.S. the second largest contributor to global warming on the planet. The Environmental Protection Agency regulation is a centerpiece of President Barack Obama's plans to reduce the pollution linked to global warming, a step that the administration hopes will get other countries to act when negotiations on a new international treaty resume next year. Despite concluding in 2009 that greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare, a finding that triggered their regulation under the 1970 Clean Air Act, it has taken years for the administration to take on the nation's fleet of power plants. In December 2010, the Obama administration announced a "modest pace" for setting greenhouse gas standards for power plants...

...Lisa Mojsin, M.A. Director, Accurate English, Inc. Los Angeles, CA Acknowledgments This book is dedicated to my accent reduction students who came to the United States from all parts of the globe. Their drive to excel, passion for learning, amazing work ethic, and belief in the American dream have inspired me to write this book. In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” Thanks to all of the supportive and extremely professional people at Barron’s: Dimitry Popow, my editor; Wayne Barr for seeking me out to write this book; and Veronica Douglas for her support. I am enormously grateful to Lou Savage, “The Voice.” His is the beautiful male voice on the recordings. He was also responsible for all of the expert audio engineering and audio editing. Thank you, Lou, for being such a perfectionist with the sound and insisting on fixing the audio “mistakes” I couldn’t hear anyway. I am also grateful for the contributions of Maryam Meghan, Jack Cumming, Katarina Matolek, Mauricio Sanchez, Sabrina Stoll, Sonya Kahn, Jennie Lo, Yvette Basica, Marc Basica, and Laura Tien. © Copyright 2009 by Barron’s Educational Series, Inc.
