Spanish Golden Age Literature: Theater, Poetry, and Prose
The Dawn of National Comedy in Spain
Medieval dramatic production preserved in Castile is scarce. During the 16th century, major events took place that led to the creation of a rich and varied national theater in the following century. Our medieval drama has two milestones: the oldest dramatic text in Castilian and the work of Manrique in the second half of the 15th century.

Influence and Impact of Ortega y Gasset
Influences
The influence of previous philosophy on Ortega’s thought is organized in different ways, but all start from the conception that Ortega has of life as the key explanatory reality in relation to reason. Socrates, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, and Hegel believed that there was only one reason or understanding, one and the same for all mankind. Ortega felt that there was no reason that was universal and unchanging, but the real reason is, in each case,

Understanding Chromosomes, Inheritance, and Genetic Traits
Similarities and Differences in Homologous Chromosomes
Prior to crossing over, in what ways are homologous chromosomes similar? In what ways do they differ?
- Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs, one from each parent, that are similar in length, gene position, and centromere location.
- They have the same genes but not necessarily the same alleles. For example, they could both carry the gene for hair color, but one might have the allele for brown hair while the other has the allele for blonde hair.
Investment Decisions: NPV, IRR, and Discounted Cash Flow
Chapter 8: NPV and Other Investment Criteria
NPV = PV – Initial Investment
A positive NPV means that the project is expected to add value to the firm and, therefore, will increase the wealth of the owner. Accept a project if NPV > 0.
IRR: The project’s expected return. If the cost of capital (required return) equals the IRR (expected return), the NPV = 0. A project’s IRR is the discount rate that makes its NPV = 0. Accept the project if the IRR is greater than r (the project’s cost of capital).
