  2. Demand curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_curve

    It is important to distinguish between movement along a demand curve, and a shift in a demand curve. Movements along a demand curve happen only when the price of the good changes. [14] When a non-price determinant of demand changes, the curve shifts. These "other variables" are part of the demand function. They are "merely lumped into intercept ...

  3. Kinesiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinesiology

    A series of images that represent research (left) and practice (right) in the field of academic kinesiology. Kinesiology (from Ancient Greek κίνησις (kínēsis) 'movement' and -λογία-logía 'study of') is the scientific study of human body movement.

  4. Geographic mobility - Wikipedia

    Socialized unemployment insurance programs help to increase individual liquidity and lessen the burden of search costs and movement risk. [10] Research has shown that overall the presence of social insurance does not have a strong effect on the rate of personal movement because while it lowers relative movement costs, it also increases the ...

  5. Urban metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_metabolism

    Developed in 1970s Howard T. Odum, a systems ecologist, wanted to emphasize the dependence on the source of almost all energy on the planet: the sun. [6] Odum believed that previous research and development on urban metabolism was missing and did not account for qualitative differences of mass or energy flows.

  6. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

    If the demand decreases, then the opposite happens: a shift of the curve to the left. If the demand starts at D 2, and decreases to D 1, the equilibrium price will decrease, and the equilibrium quantity will also decrease. The quantity supplied at each price is the same as before the demand shift, reflecting the fact that the supply curve has ...

  7. Demand characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_characteristics

    Deception: Deceive participants about one or more aspects of the research to conceal the research hypothesis. Post-experimental questionnaires: For example, Rubin (2016) discusses the Perceived Awareness of the Research Hypothesis (PARH). [6] [7] This 4-item scale is usually presented at the end of a research session. In responding to the scale ...

  8. Push–pull strategy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push–pull_strategy

    However, because of the subtle difference between pull production and make-to-order production, a more accurate name for this may be the customer order decoupling point. An example of this is Dell's build to order supply chain. Inventory levels of individual components are determined by forecasting general demand, but final assembly is in ...

  9. Biomechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomechanics

    Page of one of the first works of Biomechanics (De Motu Animalium of Giovanni Alfonso Borelli) in the 17th centuryBiomechanics is the study of the structure, function and motion of the mechanical aspects of biological systems, at any level from whole organisms to organs, cells and cell organelles, [1] using the methods of mechanics.
