of ions over 72 hours, it was estimated that the combined dissolution of Ni and Co would be around 384μM (272μM for Ni and 112μM for Co) for 200 mg/L of NMC. The experimental data from Trial 1 were discarded due to error in the initial calibration curves. Jan Dolezal’s paper suggested that the sugar to NMC ratio varied between 0.5:1 and 2:1. However, in Trial 2, a wider range of ratios were chosen to explore the effect of small particles. A positive control was made with the expected Ni and Co…
It is strange now to think that I had played softball for almost nine years. This is because I don 't really even think about it now. Although I do know that playing sports was a big part of my life when I did play, and it taught me many things that I still apply to my life. The first sport that I played was softball. This was when I was around six years old. My reasons for joining were that my mom had wanted due to get into some sort of physical activity, and the fact that many people from my…
Solubility Curves Lab Report Objective: To demonstrate how the solubility of a salt varies with temperature and plot the solubility curve of a salt on the basis of observed data. Introduction: Solubility is the maximum amount of substance that will dissolve at a specific temperature. The units for solubility are grams of solute/ 100 grams of solvent. A solute is the substance being dissolved. A solvent is present in greater amount. The solubility of a solute is defined as the amount of…
would not have gone. In this case an indifference curve was created. In theory consumer optimal choice is represented as the differential curve and the budget constraint points to the choice IF our income had increased by 100%+, we would have gone to the Superbowl and we would have gone on the trip to Mexico! In this case the Utility-Maximizing Solution comes into play. It assumes that each consumer seeks the highest indifference curve possible. “The budget line gives the combinations…
Fear of the future is one phobia that every so often gets a grip of us all. Wilkinson continues to assert, "We look out into the future, trying our best to make wise decisions, only to find ourselves staring into the teeth of ferocious and widespread uncertainties. If only everything didn't depend on, well, everything else. How do we decide what kind of career path to pursue when it's not clear what industries will exist in 10 or 15 years? How do we plan our children's education when we can't…
evolve, the idea of the second curve has made its way into the healthcare systems. For example, in the business world when companies run successfully for years with the same plan (first curve), often time during that run they are faced with difficulties and are forced to draw out a new plan (the second curve). Like in the business world, healthcare fields are changing from its first curve where hospitals are functioning in a volume-based environment, to the second curve where value-based care…
uses Bernoulli’s theory on utility to explain why this is not how most would react. He explains that people are risk-averse, a fact Kahneman agrees with. People would rather abstain from risk in favor of a guaranteed outcome. The standard utility curve is shown in figure 1. Increasing wealth from 1 million…
According to Curves website, Curves Fitness members have an average weight loss of 5 lbs. over a 20-week period. and Curves Complete members have an average weight loss of 10 lbs. and 3 inches over a 20-week period. The Curves Complete program also claims that it “can help reduce fat, increase lean muscle, boost metabolism, and help dieters lose weight and maintain weight loss.” The website does not mention improvement in obesity-related comorbidities, but based on the diet and exercise program…
classes have been making a significant impact on not only the education system, but for the students who take them as well. However, it is tough to say if taking classes online really benefit all of those who are taking them in college. The learning curve for every individual is based on personal preference. Not everyone learns at the same rate or is the same person in general. Furthermore, taking online classes may be flexible with someone with a busy schedule, but it probably won’t provide the…
does a supply curve illustrate? What would make the supply curve shift? Provide two examples from the market for orange juice where supply contracts (curve shifts left). The supply curve illustrates the how much the sellers are willing to supply a good at different prices, as the price goes up the supply will increase and as the price goes down the supply will decrease. The supply curve shifts because of changes in costs or technology innovations, these changes can shift the supply curve in…
