Business simulationBusiness simulation or corporate simulation is simulation used for business training, education or analysis. It can be scenario-based or numeric-based. Most business simulations are used for business acumen training and development. Learning objectives include: strategic thinking, decision making, problem solving, financial analysis, market analysis, operations, teamwork and leadership. The business gaming community seems lately to have adopted the term business simulation game instead of just gaming or just simulation.
Électricité décarbonéeL'électricité décarbonée est une électricité produite à partir d'énergie primaire non-fossile. Autrement dit, l'électricité est d'origine renouvelable ou nucléaire. Cette électricité a l'avantage de ne pas ou peu émettre de dioxyde de carbone (). La capture et séquestration du carbone peut également contribuer à la décarbonation de la production d'électricité. Une énergie est « décarbonée » si elle n’émet pas de dioxyde de carbone (). Dans une acception commune, toutes les énergies renouvelables ainsi que l’énergie nucléaire sont considérées comme décarbonées.
Cost-of-production theory of valueIn economics, the cost-of-production theory of value is the theory that the price of an object or condition is determined by the sum of the cost of the resources that went into making it. The cost can comprise any of the factors of production (including labor, capital, or land) and taxation. The theory makes the most sense under assumptions of constant returns to scale and the existence of just one non-produced factor of production. With these assumptions, minimal price theorem, a dual version of the so-called non-substitution theorem by Paul Samuelson, holds.
Viking lander biological experimentsIn 1976 two identical Viking program landers each carried four types of biological experiments to the surface of Mars. The first successful Mars landers, Viking 1 and Viking 2, then carried out experiments to look for biosignatures of microbial life on Mars. The landers each used a robotic arm to pick up and place soil samples into sealed test containers on the craft. The two landers carried out the same tests at two places on Mars' surface, Viking 1 near the equator and Viking 2 further north.
