Exchange(intermediate, fast, slow, chemical and conformational) : Exchange is a kinetic process between two(or more) states that is characterized by a rate constant. In NMR [nuclear magnetic resonance] spectroscopy, exchange is classified into fast, intermediate and slow depending on the size of the rate constant with respect to chemical shift(which is measured in the same units(Hz) as the rate constant). In the fast exchange regime, the rate is much larger than the difference in chemical shift between the two states and the NMR signal will be at the weighted average position of the two states. In slow exchange, signals for both states are observable and the intensities are proportional to the populations of the two states. In intermediate exchange, the transition between the signals seen for slow and fast exchange takes place, resulting in very broad and often non-observable signals. 1, record 1, English, - fast%20exchange

When calculating borrowings, the IBRD [International Bank for Reconstruction and Development] takes the amount of the loan, multiplies it by the interest rate, and obtains a total for the interest. All the loans are added and all the interest totals. The first sum is then divided by the second to obtain the weighted average interest. This is the single-weighted borrowing cost. Recently, the IBRD has obtained the interest total by multiplying the amount of the loan by the interest and the number of years to maturity, to take into account the fact that it has loans of varying maturities. The weighted averaged interest obtained from this calculation is called the double-weighted borrowing cost. 1, record 8, English, - double%2Dweighted%20borrowing%20cost

The opportunity cost of using investment resources in a project rather than in their next best alternative use; usually expressed in the form of an interest rate. The reduction in non-project benefits in relation to project objectives that is a result of using capital in the project. In practice, usually a weighted average calculation of the cost of securing project capital from various sources. In financial analysis, the weighted average cost to the firm or farm of equity capital and of borrowed capital from likely sources. In economic analysis, usually the weighted average cost of capital to the economy as a whole, but sometimes the weighted average cost of capital to the public sector. The rate at which benefits and costs are discounted in calculating the net present worth, the net benefit-investment ratio, or the benefit-cost ratio. The cut-off rate for project analysis, and hence the minimum acceptable internal rate of return. 3, record 11, English, - opportunity%20cost%20of%20capital

Es el costo de oportunidad de utilizar los recursos de inversión de un proyecto en lugar de en su mejor utilización opcional siguiente en orden de rentabilidad. Usualmente, se expresa en forma de una tasa de interés. Es la reducción en beneficios ajenos al proyecto en relación con los objetivos del proyecto que resulta de utilizar capital en el proyecto. En la práctica es usualmente un cálculo del promedio ponderado del costo de obtener de varias fuentes capital para el proyecto. En el análisis financiero, es el costo medio ponderado para la empresa o la finca del capital social y del capital tomado en préstamo de fuentes posibles. En el análisis económico, suele ser el costo medio ponderado del capital para la economía en conjunto, pero en ocasiones es el costo medio ponderado del capital para el sector público. Es la tasa a la cual se actualizan los costos y beneficios al calcular el valor neto actual, la relación inversión-beneficio neto o la relación beneficios-costos. Es la tasa de rentabilidad aceptable para el análisis de proyectos y, por consiguiente, la tasa de rentabilidad interna mínima aceptable. 1, record 11, Spanish, - costo%20de%20oportunidad%20del%20capital
