Conditions conducive for rice blast include long periods of free moisture and/or high humidity, because leaf wetness is required for infection. [24] Sporulation increases with high relative humidity and at 25–28 °C (77–82 °F), spore germination, lesion formation, and sporulation are at optimum levels.
The objective of the buyer of a collar is to protect against rising interest rates (while agreeing to give up some of the benefit from lower interest rates). The purchase of the cap protects against rising rates while the sale of the floor generates premium income. A collar creates a band within which the buyer's effective interest rate fluctuates
If the home country imposes a 20% tariff on shoes, but no tariff on leather, shoes would sell for $180 in the home country, and the value added for the domestic shoe maker would increase by $30, from $50 to $80. The domestic shoe maker is afforded a 60% effective rate of protection per dollar of value added.
Markup price = (unit cost * markup percentage) Markup price = $450 * 0.12 Markup price = $54 Sales Price = unit cost + markup price. Sales Price= $450 + $54 Sales Price = $504 Ultimately, the $54 markup price is the shop's margin of profit. Cost-plus pricing is common and there are many examples where the margin is transparent to buyers. [4]
Green leaf volatiles are involved in patterns of attack and protection between species. They have been found to increase the attractive effect of pheromones of cohabiting insect species that protect plants from attacking insect species. For example, corn plants that are being fed on by caterpillars will release GLVs that attract wasps, who then ...
Target Cost: the estimated total contract costs. Actual Cost: constitutes the reasonable costs that the contractor can prove have been incurred.

The Munroe or Neumann effect is the focusing of blast energy by a hollow or void cut on a surface of an explosive. The earliest mention of hollow charges were mentioned in 1792. Franz Xaver von Baader (1765–1841) was a German mining engineer at that time; in a mining journal, he advocated a conical space at the forward end of a blasting ...
