between the cores, so, it needs to protect the core. The materials needed must relatively pervious and bear any exposures to the atmosphere. The filter zones handles the seepage water to maintain the original particles of soils. BH1 soil is suitable for the filter zones, as it consists particles of coarse grained, which is ideal for filtering and handling seepage due to their large sizes. BH2 is suitable for stability zones as it has low plasticity soil that shows low volume change and have a…
sufficient surface properties of the particles within the mixture to facilitate suitable agglomeration for proper mixing and tableting, these ingredients are known as excipients. Tablets used for medication often require a precise quantity of API and as such, an evenly distributed or ‘homogenous’ mix throughout the stages of…
CHAPTER 4 PSO AND GA TECHNIQUE 4.1 Moth Flame Optimization In the proposed MFO algorithm, I assumed that the candidate solutions are moths and the problem’s variables are the position of moths in the space. Therefore, the moths can fly in 1-D, 2-D, 3-D, or hyper dimensional space with changing their position vectors. Since the MFO algorithm is a population-based algorithm. It should be noted here that moths and flames are both solutions. The difference between them is the way we treat and…
I have a deep-seated passion for fixing injustice in the world, particularly the inequality of women, including the systemic violence they face in our contemporary societies. Political theory has given me a framework in which to pursue the desire I have, to understand these issues in an educated context. This has led to my fascination with the writings of political thinkers, frondeurs, philosophy, international law, and the freedom of sexuality. I intend to purse feminist political theory,…
Introduction I am a member of a Kappa Alpha Theta at Chapman University, and have recently considered running for a position. With the new slate of officers changing, positions were opening up once again and surprised as I was many of my peers encouraged me to run for a position. Due to studying abroad I couldn’t, however I am still debating whether or not to in the future. However, I am concerned that taking a position will affect my relationship with my peers. Personally I am very reserved…
receive. I joined my sorority Alpha Delta Pi here at the University of South Carolina a little over a year ago and I can truly say it has been the best decision I have ever made. I love this sorority for several reasons mainly for the rich history, sisterhood and friendships I have made that have made me feel at home here at Carolina. I can honestly say joining Alpha Delta Pi at University of South Carolina will be the best decision you will ever make. HISTORY: Alpha Delta Pi was founded on…
Ant colony algorithm has three steps: pheromone initialization, building tour, updating pheromone.For the ant colony algorithm, path selection influence a little by the pheromone initialization. In order to get a better result, the pheromone value is always initialized slightly higher than the one released in each iteration.We have taken the initial value of pheromone as τij(0)= m/Cmin where , τij(t) is the residual pheromone on the path between node i and node j at moment t. m is the number of…
1.How and why violations of the Fraternity’s policy and law occurred. Violations of the fraternity’s policy and law occurred due to actions deemed as hazing during a call down and by having candidates exchange small favors for member signatures. Also, the presence and consumption of alcohol violated the campus’ and fraternity’s policies. The fraternity conducted a tailgate function during a period of suspended activity and also lacked in cooperation during interviews. These violations do not…
Alpha 1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is caused by mutations in the serpina1 gene on chromosome 14. The serpina1 gene codes for the Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) enzyme which is a protein that protects the lungs, and is made in the liver.This deficiency occurs when there is a lack of a protein in the blood called alpha-1 antitrypsin. Without the protection of this protein, the lungs are more sepetable to be attacked by neutrophil elastase. Neutrophil elastase is an enzyme…
contagious. You can only get it if your parents have the allele. The main problem is that ATTD makes a person at risk for lung and liver damage. With ATTD the protein Alpha-1 Antirpsin is in shortage. This is a protein that protects the lungs in the body. The deficiency causes some of the proteins to get stuck in the liver ("Learning about Alpha-1 Antitrypsin").This means that they cannot reach the lungs to protect. Other symptoms of AATD are jaundice and swelling of the abdomen. Jaundice is a…
