Examples of indirect in the following topics:
-
Direct and Indirect Measurement
- Cash flow statements can be measured via the direct method and the indirect method to determine overall liquidity.
- The indirect method is quite a bit more involved than the direct method, as it incorporates valuation changes in non-cash assets as well.
- Let's take a look at some examples of indirect cash flow line items for context:
- Financial items in the indirect method include dividends, stock repurchases, and changes in overall debt.
- Differentiate between the direct and indirect methods of cash flow accounting, with a particular focus on the more popular indirect method
-
Inverse Variation
- Indirect variation is used to describe the relationship between two variables when their product is constant.
- Graph of indirect variation with the equation y=1/x.
- This hyperbola shows the indirect variation of variables x and y.
-
Preparation of the Statement of Cash Flows: Indirect Method
- The indirect method starts with net-income while adjusting for non-cash transactions and from all cash-based transactions.
- There is the direct method and the indirect method.
- Also, in the indirect method cash paid for taxes and cash paid for interest must be disclosed.
- The indirect method adjusts net income (rather than adjusting individual items in the income statement).

- There are 22 states that define lobbying as direct or indirect communication to public officials, and 14 additional states that define it as any attempt to influence public officials.
- Identify the indirect techniques used by interest groups to influence legislation
-
Preparation of the Statement of Cash Flows: Direct Method
- There is an indirect and a direct method for calculating cash flows from operating activities.
- There are two different methods that can be used to report the cash flows of operating activities: the direct method and the indirect method .
- In the indirect (addback) method for calculating cash flows, the accrual basis net income is established first.
- The indirect method adjusts net income (rather than adjusting individual items in the income statement) for the following phenomena: changes in current assets (other than cash), changes in current liabilities, and items that were included in net income but did not affect cash.
- The two methods to calculate cash flows are the direct method and the indirect method
-
Units of Measurement for Microbes
- Measuring microbes presents challenges because they are very small, requiring indirect measures of microbes to understand them better.
- The measurement of an exponential microbial growth curve in batch culture was traditionally a part of the training of all microbiologists; The basic means requires bacterial enumeration (cell counting) by direct and individual (microscopic, flow cytometry), direct and bulk (biomass), indirect and individual (colony counting), or indirect and bulk (most probable number, turbidity, nutrient uptake) methods .

Nouns as Subjects and Objects
- There are two types of object: direct and indirect.
- In a sentence, the indirect object answers the question "to whom or what?"
- See the italicized indirect objects in the examples below.
- Phrased this way, it becomes clear that the dog is the indirect object and the bone is the direct object.
- In this sign saying "Do not feed the coyotes", are coyotes the subject, the object, or the indirect object?
-
Exporting
- A firm can export its products in one of three ways: indirect exporting, semi-direct exporting, and direct exporting.
- Indirect exporting is a common practice among firms that are just beginning their exporting.
- Indirect exporting involves very little investment, as no overseas sales force or other types of contacts need be developed.
- Indirect exporting also involves little risk, as international marketing intermediaries have knowledge of markets and will make fewer mistakes than sellers.

Introduction to Conceptual Change
- Her notion of direct and indirect light does explain, in part, why there are seasons, but her belief that the earth travels in a curlicue orbit is incorrect.
- She illustrates by drawing a diagram that the seasons are caused by the tilt in the earth's axis, which causes direct and indirect light to fall on the northern and southern hemispheres of the earth.
- However, when asked to explain what she means by "direct" and "indirect" light, Heather resorts to her previous beliefs.
- She says that indirect light is light that bounces off points in space--similar to light reflecting off a mirror-- before hitting the earth.
- Even a strong hint from the interviewer and a display of diagrams illustrating the differences between direct and indirect sunlight does not change Heather's mind; she incorporates the hints into her erroneous conception by saying that the indirect light from the sun, which also causes winter in the northern hemisphere, is light that bounces off some other point on the earth before reaching the northern hemisphere (Mestre, 1994).

Measuring Radiation Exposure
- Radiation dosimetry is the measurement and calculation of the absorbed dose from exposure to indirect and direct ionizing radiation.
- Radiation dosimetry is the measurement and calculation of the absorbed dose in matter and tissue resulting from exposure to indirect and direct ionizing radiation.
