US Individual Federal Income Taxation: Historical, Contemporary, and Prospective Policy Issues (Studies in Managerial and Financial Accounting)

Book Description

This monograph examines US individual federal income taxation, and serves as a source of reference for academics, graduate students, and those interested in tax policy and the historical evolution of contemporary individual federal income tax issues. The primary objective is to examine historical and contemporary trends or patterns that provide direction for future tax policy-based research. We also identify those research topics most likely to be of interest in the early decades of the new millennium. Where apparent patterns in evolution exist, US-Canadian comparisons are provided.

Several empirical tests are included, namely: US-Canadian marriage-to-divorce (M-T-D) ratios are examined in the context of what has been referred to as the US marriage tax penalty; comparisons of the alternative minimum tax (US) and minimum tax (Canada) are developed; relevant independent variables are produced in exploratory longitudinal and cross-sectional regr

This is a short but well written tool to use in writing cover letters. It doesn't cover much "theory", but rather an assortment of examples for different situations. It also has example letters for thing such as requesting career advice, reference letters, resignation, and networking. It sticks to the basics but has better writing and examples than most other books I've seen.

Book Description

The book covers the main aspects of dynamic phenomena in confined magnetic structures on a level that researchers find a comprehensive compilation of the current status in the field. Introductory chapters help the newcomer to understand the basic concepts, and more advanced chapters give the current state of the art on most spin dynamic aspects ranging from milliseconds to femtoseconds. Emphasis is placed both on the discussion of the experimental techniques and on the theoretical work. The comprehensive presentation of these developments makes this volume very timely and valuable for every researcher working in the field of magnetism.

Book Description

Molecular Physical Chemistry: A Concise Introduction focuses on two main aspects of physical chemistry: thermodynamics and reaction dynamics. By looking at the properties of the atoms and molecules that constitute matter, it makes use of results from modern experiments conducted on small numbers of molecules. These molecular properties allow the behaviour of larger groups of molecules to be predicted. This is in contrast to conventional approaches which are based upon how the subjects have developed historically. It attempts to show how some basic concepts can be easily applied to give verifiable results in simple systems before extending them to more complicated scenarios. The text is intended as an aid to understanding these central topics of physical chemistry, rather than an introduction to them, and some familiarity with them is assumed throughout. Worked examples and problems are given at the end of each chapter. Molecular Physical Chemistry: A Concise Introduction will be welcomed by graduate and advanced undergraduate students, as well as lecturers. Upon completion of this book the reader will see its subject matter as an integral part of their whole approach to chemistry.

Book Description

This textbook covers the basics necessary for understanding the statistical theory of unimolecular reactions in its original and variational, phase-space and angular momentum-conserved incarnations. Because the emphasis is on "why" rather than "how to", there are many problems and answers to explore further. The book is targeted at graduate and advanced undergraduate students studying chemical dynamics, chemical kinetics and theoretical chemistry.

Book Description

This volume from the well-known series on turbulent shear flows contains four parts on closures and fundamentals, free flows, wall flows and combustion and recirculating flows. Each section begins with an invited introductory article followed by a selection of thoroughly refereed papers rewritten and carefully edited for these proceedings. The book covers theoretical developments, experiments, and applications in the engineering sciences and physical chemistry, and addresses researchers, graduate students, and engineers.

Book Description

The reader can travel through the maze of adventures with Sam & Lucy, as they go in and out of each floor of the apartment building. The story becomes more and more intense as they struggle to reach the Penthouse floor. Their compassion and love for each other would be put to the test till the very end.
