- 271: Purchasing Power Parity
- ... relative to the dollar, and the increased supply of this basket of goods will push its price down, to the point where PPP is achieved. Expressed mathematically, that point is: P(i,t) = S(t) x P*(i,t), where S(t) = the current exchange rate (the domestic price of foreign exchange) P(i,t) = the current domestic currency price of commodity i P*(i,t) = the current foreign currency price ... absolute version of PPP hypothesizes a similar relationship, with the exception that it uses price levels instead of specific commodity prices. Mathematically, the absolute version of PPP can be expressed thus: P(t) = S(t) x P*(t), where P(t) = the domestic price level in domestic currency P*(t) = the foreign price level in foreign currency In reality though, price levels are certainly not calculated with any regularity. The cost ... Relative PPP calculations also compensate for the fact that two economies may not have the same composition of goods. Mathematically, the absolute version of PPP can be expressed thus: P(t+T) = S(t+T) x P*(t+T), where P(t) S(t) P(t) P(t) = an index of a subset of goods and services in domestic currency P*(t) = an index of a subset of goods and ...

The Cray operates at a clock rate of 105 MHz (the regular, run-of-the-mill IBMPC has a clock rate ... at which floating-point operations can be performed. The Cray MFLOPS vary as it does many activities, but a rate of up to 210 MFLOPS (per CPU) can be achieved. The second '2' in the X-MP/22 title refers to the two million 64-bit words (16Mb) of shared central memory. This can be expanded to four million words in the future if the need arises. But it doesn' ...

Besides atoms, there are other examples of ¡¥unseen¡¦ objects in nature such as radio-waves, microwaves, and X-rays. These are all considered as not observable by human senses, but are widely used by human beings. People use radio-waves to transfer information; use microwaves to cook foods; and utilize X-rays in medicine or to detect weapons. Such unseen objects that modern physicists developed are influential in our society, and ease our living environment. Furthermore, in contrast to the Greek deduction of the atom, modern ... a technology for human perfection has been applied to acupuncture, Feng-shui, massage, martial art, and philosophy. Traditional qigong theories stress that materiality and spirituality are ¡¥one¡¦ and the ¡¥same¡¦, and thus inseparable (Lu, ix-x).

Confirming gender in children with ambiguous genitalia is another medical reason for using the test. A quick examination of the X and Y chromosomes of the child would indicate whether genetically the child is male or female. As yet, Willard has been unable to develop a probe for chromosome 21. Down's Syndrome results from ...

These exams may include an upper gastrointestinal (GI) series, a small intestinal study, and a barium enema intestinal x-ray. These procedures are done by putting the barium, a chalky solution, into the upper or lower intestines. The barium shows up white on x-ray film, revealing inflammation or ulceration and other abnormalities in the intestine. If you have Crohn's disease, you may need medical care for a long time.
