Accounting entity concept

Accounting Concepts and Conventions Accounting is based on the following concepts (1) money measurement, (2) business entity, (3) going concern, (4) cost, and (5) matching. 

Concept 2. Business entity means that accounts are kept for the company qmte independently of the people who may own the company. For example, if an individual puts an additional 10,000 into a one-person business, the accounts show that the business is 10,000 richer. They do not show that the individual s personal wealth has been depleted by 10,000. 

There are certain limitations of the Arrhenius concept of acids and bases. Acids and bases have been described in terms of their aqueous solutions and not in terms of the entities themselves. The theory is thus applicable exclusively to aqueous solutions. An entity such as HC1 is accounted as an acid only when it is dissolved in water if dissolved in... 

One point to address concerns the use of the words s pramolecular and supermolecule. The concept of supramolecular chemistry has become a unifying attractor, in which areas that have developed independently have spontaneously found their place. The word supramolecular has been used in particular for large multiprotein architectures and organized molecular assemblies [1.16]. On the other hand, in theoretical chemistry, the computational procedure that treats molecular associations such as the water dimer as a single entity is termed the supermolecule approach [1.34,1.35]. Taking into account the existence and the independent uses of these two words, one may then propose that supramolecular chemistry be the broader term, concerning the chemistry of all types of supramolecular entities from the well-defined supermolecules to extended, more or less organized, polymolecular associations. The term super molecular chemistry would be restricted to the specific chemistry of the supermolecules themselves. 

A useful concept for entrepreneurs that may be especially applicable to pharmacist entrepreneurs is the incubator. This term describes an entity that exists to help get new businesses started. As stated earlier, entrepreneurs cannot be an expert in every area required ofentrepreneurship. Incubators bring all or many of the necessary areas together (e.g., accounting, business plan development, legal, capital acquisition, etc.) to help entrepreneurs bring their ideas to market. As discussed previously, investment early in the idea-development process costs the most. Incubators usually take significant equity of the business to get started. The... 

Although the physics model may give a reasonable qualitative account of chemical concepts, such as chemical cohesion, it fails at the quantitative level, because essential factors are ignored. The most important factor is the environment. The free atom of physics represents a universe, completely empty, except for a solitary atom. Such an atom can never explain chemical effects, which occur because of the interaction of an atom with its environment. When the total environment is taken into account one deals with the familiar classical macro world. Between the two extremes is chemistry and it is important to know whether to describe chemical entities, like molecules, in classical or non-classical terms. 

This tacit commitment to (IR1) shows that the internal realist account of reference is indeed a species of the anti-realist answer to the skeptical challenge. The challenge, posed by Putnam s model-theoretic argument was this. If the structure of the world were independent of the human mind, how could concepts and words, which are human inventions, refer to the elements of the structure The answer provided here is that the structure of the world is not independent of the mind. The criteria of identity for entities derive from the justification conditions which govern the use of concepts. So the entities out there and the entities our words are intended to apply to are bound to be the same. We should not be surprised that the top slices meet the bottom slices. We just slice from the top and reach the bottom. 

In this chapter some aspects of the present state of the concept of ion association in the theory of electrolyte solutions will be reviewed. For simplification our consideration will be restricted to a symmetrical electrolyte. It will be demonstrated that the concept of ion association is useful not only to describe such properties as osmotic and activity coefficients, electroconductivity and dielectric constant of nonaqueous electrolyte solutions, which traditionally are explained using the ion association ideas, but also for the treatment of electrolyte contributions to the intramolecular electron transfer in weakly polar solvents [21, 22] and for the interpretation of specific anomalous properties of electrical double layer in low temperature region [23, 24], The majority of these properties can be described within the McMillan-Mayer or ion approach when the solvent is considered as a dielectric continuum and only ions are treated explicitly. However, the description of dielectric properties also requires the solvent molecules being explicitly taken into account which can be done at the Born-Oppenheimer or ion-molecular approach. This approach also leads to the correct description of different solvation effects. We should also note that effects of ion association require a different treatment of the thermodynamic and electrical properties. For the thermodynamic properties such as the osmotic and activity coefficients or the adsorption coefficient of electrical double layer, the ion pairs give a direct contribution and these properties are described correctly in the framework of AMSA theory. Since the ion pairs have no free electric charges, they give polarization effects only for such electrical properties as electroconductivity, dielectric constant or capacitance of electrical double layer. Hence, to describe the electrical properties, it is more convenient to modify MSA-MAL approach by including the ion pairs as new polar entities. 

The extent to which statistical concepts enter the picture as we go from the micro- to the macroworld is not at all at our disposal. For example, quantum mechanics as we know it today teaches us that it is impossible in principle to obtain complete information about a microscopic entity (i.e., the precise and simultaneous knowledge of an electron s location and momentum, say) at any instant in time. On account of Heisenberg s Uncertainty Principle, conjugate quantities like, for instance, position and momentum can only be known with a certain maximum precision. Quantum mechanics therefore already deals with averages only (i.e., expectation values) when it comes to actual measurements. 

It was during the 19th century that Nageli developed a theory to deal with the birefiingent materials in plant cells and starch grains. This theory introduced the concept of crystalline micelles having submicroscopic dimensions. This, in turn, led to the proposal that crystalline micelles were separate, well-defined entities, stacked like bricks whose length coincided with the axis of the constituent cellulose molecules. In order to take account of the amorphous content of cellulose, the idea of... 

When we audit an entity, we perform an examination of it. Dictionaries typically emphasize official examinations of (financial) accounts, reflecting the accounting origin of the term. Accounting texts go further for example, testing and checking the records of an enterprise to be certain that acceptable policies and practices have been consistently followed (Carson and Carlson 1977, p. 2). In the human factors field, the term is broadened to include nonfinancial entities, but it remains faithful to the concepts of checking, acceptable policies/practices, and consistency. 

Kekule later asserted that this paper contains the first explicit statement of the "bibasic" character of oxygen and sulfur atoms, namely, that each atom of either of these two elements can form a material link between two monobasic entities. That constitutes a kind of claim to the concept of valence. Others made competing claims, especially Frankland (on the basis of his 1852 paper), Kolbe, and Wurtz and of course one must also take into account the powerful influence of Williamson. The point here is not to try to adjudicate these disputes the preceding section of this chapter suggests how useless any such endeavor would be. The object is rather to understand how and why so many different chemists, indeed, most of those who were theoretically active in the science, were simultaneously approaching the same set of ideas. 

If we embrace an abundant conception of properties, then there is a substantive question of which properties are such that they are constitutive properties of events. For example, if disjunction is a property-forming operation, and so there are disjunctive properties, it by no means follows that disjunctive properties can be constitutive properties of events. Also, even if complementation is a property-forming operation, and so there are negative properties, it is a nontrivial question whether negative properties can be constitutive properties of events — whether, that is, omissions are events. 1 will recur to these matters later. The point to note for now is that on an abundant conception of properties, no extant property exemplification account of events counts literally every property as such that it can be a constitutive (or essential) property of an event. One might embrace quantification as a property-forming operation but reject it as an eventforming operation and so reject the claim that functional properties can be constitutive properties of events. Whether functional properties can be constitutive properties of events, and so whether there are functional events in the sense in question, is a controversial issue. The issue, moreover, as I see, is inseparable from the issue of whether such entities would be causes. 

The inherently subjective character of similarity (see Section 15.3 for a discussion of the cognitive aspects of similarity in general) suggests that regardless of the similarity measures used, it will never be possible to account for the similarities among any set of entities or concepts in some absolute sense. Hence, the best we can hope for in the realm of MSA is to obtain similarity measures that capture the structural, chemical, and/or biological features of molecules in a way that provides a useful account of their relationship to one another. 

The Avrami equationhas been extended to various crystallization models by computer simulation of the process and using a random probe to estimate the degree of overlap between adjacent crystallites. Essentially, the basic concept used was that of Evans in his use of Poisson s solution of the expansion of raindrops on the surface of a pond. Originally the model was limited to expansion of symmetrical entities, such as spheres in three dimensions, circles in two dimensions, and rods in one, for which n = 2,2, and 1, respectively. This has been verified by computer simulation of these systems. However, the method can be extended to consider other systems, more characteristic of crystallizing systems. The effect of (a) mixed nucleation, ib) volume shrinkage, (c) variable density of crystallinity without a crystallite, and (random nucleation were considered. AH these models approximated to the Avrami equation except for (c), which produced markedly fractional but different n values from 3, 2, or I. The value varied according to the time dependence chosen for the density. It was concluded that this was a powerful technique to assess viability of various models chosen to account for the observed value of the exponent, n. 

Several authors indicate that the concepts on which financial management is based derive from economic theory. They say that the financial measurement systems used are those applied in economic analysis for economic activity, whether for profit or nonprofit entities. For either type of operation. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles have evolved for the recording of financial transactions and for the allocation of resources. Those principles are set forth in guidelines issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
