Cost and Management Accounting provides a comprehensive
introduction for students new to this business-relevant subject
field. The book covers topics such as an introduction to cost and
management accounting and new developments taking place, cost
classification, cost behaviour, inventory management, cost flows,
pricing decisions, different types of budgets and standard costing.
The various costing systems are dealt with in detail. The
theoretical underpinnings of the subject are carefully and clearly
explained, with an abundance of examples to illustrate how
management accountants apply their expertise to the problems they
are required to solve in the business environment. In addition to
these illustrative examples, each chapter gives students the
opportunity to test their understanding by working through
different types of questions. An extensive glossary gives users
further support. This book is written from a South African
perspective, and local legislation and accounting practices are
taken into account.
This book combines the proceedings of Mechanical Behavior of
Nanomaterials - Experiments and Modeling, and Plasticity in
Confined Volumes - Modeling and Experiments. These two symposia
brought together researchers to exchange ideas about the mechanical
behavior of materials where size, be it microstructural or
geometric, plays an important role. Firstly it focuses on
understanding the mechanical behavior of nanostructured materials,
such as nanoscale thin films, nanowires, nanotubes, and
nanoparticles, as well as nanoporous, nanograined and nanotwinned
materials. Such materials with submicron length scales are
important building blocks for next-generation functional devices
and materials systems. The second focus is on understanding how
micron and submicron external and internal microstructural-length
scales play a defining role in the strength and ductility of a
material. Modern simulation methods have revealed a diverse range
of atomic and mesoscale processes that can contribute to the
emergent plasticity of such complex materials. Topics include:
nanostructured materials; polymers and composites; simulations and
modeling and microcompression and nanoindentation.
Nigeria is a country suffering from the crippling burden of disease
resulting from unsafe drinking water. The prevalent diseases of
unsafe drinking water in Nigeria include cholera, guinea worm,
hepatitis, and shigellosis. Additionally, the country is dealing
with security issues and instability from religious squabbles
between Muslims in the northern region of Nigeria and Christians in
the southern region. The economic, political, social, and
health-related problems faced by the population of Nigeria require
intervention from the government of Nigeria as well as foreign
stakeholders.
