close
(verb)
To make a sale.
Examples of close in the following topics:
-
The Post-Closing Trial Balance
- A post-closing trial balance is a trial balance taken after the closing entries have been posted.
- The post-closing trial balance is the last step in the accounting cycle.
- The post-closing trial balance can only be prepared after each closing entry has been posted to the General Ledger.
- That is why it is necessary to run a post-closing trial balance.
- The post-closing trial balance proves debits still equal credits after the closing entries have been made.
-
Closing the Cycle
- Transferring information from temporary accounts to permanent accounts is referred to as closing the books.
- The process of closing the temporary accounts is often referred to as closing the books.
- Accountants may perform the closing process monthly or annually.
- The Dividends account is also closed at the end of the accounting period.
- The dividends account is closed directly to the Retained Earnings account.
-
Open and Closed Circulatory Systems
- The circulatory system can either be open or closed, depending on whether the blood flows freely in a cavity or is contained in vessels.
- In all vertebrate organisms, as well as some invertebrates, this is a closed-loop system in which the blood is not moving freely in a cavity.
- In contrast to a closed system, arthropods (including insects, crustaceans, and most mollusks) have an open circulatory system.
- (a) In closed circulatory systems, the heart pumps blood through vessels that are separate from the interstitial fluid of the body.
- Most vertebrates and some invertebrates, such as this annelid earthworm, have a closed circulatory system.
-
Closing the Sale
- Closing is a sales term which refers to the process of making a sale.
- Such prospects only need to be "closed. "
- Nonetheless, closing is a key part of the sales process.
- In fact, sometimes opportunities to close may not present themselves at all and the salesperson must create an opportunity to close.
- Ben Franklin close - Similar to the Duke Of Wellington close, but the prospect lists feelings vs. thoughts.

Introduction to closeness centrality
- Closeness centrality approaches emphasize the distance of an actor to all others in the network by focusing on the distance from each actor to all others.
- Depending on how one wants to think of what it means to be "close" to others, a number of slightly different measures can be defined.
-
Does leasing always close the manufacturing loop?
- Both of these practices can break the closed-loop cycle needed for leasing to provide its benefits.
-
Path distances
- Network>Centrality>Closeness provides a number of alternative ways of calculating the "far-ness" of each actor from all others.
- Figure 10.9 shows a dialog for calculating closeness measures of centrality and graph centralization.
- Since the information network is directed, separate close-ness and far-ness can be computed for sending and receiving.
- We see that the distribution of out-closeness has less variability than in-closeness, for example.

Bacteroidetes and Chlorobi
- Bacteria categorized under the Phylum Bacteroidetes and Phlyum Chlorobi are closely related base on comparative genomic analysis.
- The green sulfur bacteria are closely related to Bacteroidetes and are non-motile and can be found as sphere, rod, or spiral shaped.
- The Phlyum Chlorobi is often grouped with the Phlyum Bacteroidetes because their branches are very close together in the phylogenetic tree.
- Further analysis has identified additional molecular signatures that support the close relationship between these two phyla as well indicating a common ancestor.
- An image of a green sulfur bacteria which is categorized under the Phlyum Chlorobi and shares a close relationship with bacteria in the Phlyum Bacteroidetes.

The Loop Rule
- Kirchhoff's loop rule states that the sum of the emf values in any closed loop is equal to the sum of the potential drops in that loop.
- Applied to circuitry, it is implicit that the directed sum of the electrical potential differences (voltages) around any closed network is equal to zero.
- In other words, the sum of the electromotive force (emf) values in any closed loop is equal to the sum of the potential drops in that loop (which may come from resistors).
- Here, Vk is the voltage across element k, and n is the total number of elements in the closed loop circuit.
- An example of Kirchhoff's second rule where the sum of the changes in potential around a closed loop must be zero.
-
The Sales Process
- An effective sales process can be described through steps that walk a salesperson from prospecting through closing the sale.
- The salesperson can use several different sales closes to move the sale forward.
- They can use the "alternative close", the "assumptive close", the "summary close", or the "special-offer close"; among others.
- An effective sales process can be described through steps that walk a salesperson from meeting the prospect all the way through closing the sale.
