People started to use their mind to create things and to build machines. As life went on, they surely solved some problems, but created more complex ones! No one can deny the benefits of the new industrial and technological advances; it not only enabled us to obtain gold and other metals from deep in the ground, but also to fly high in the…

emissions, and 40% of mercury emissions released into the air (Human Health and Environmental Effects of Emissions from Power Generation). So, who is responsible? The air is not privately owned, thus no one is likely to take on the sole responsibility of maintaining its purity (tragedy of the commons). Therefore, reduction of air pollution falls on the government’s shoulders (Air Pollution). The United States Environmental Protection Agency, an agency of the U.S. federal government, has taken on…

We believe the following strategies, each with its unique set of challenges, would help Mihocko Inc. respond to the need for compliance with the proposed Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) emissions limits. The first strategy would be to adjust its product mix. Mihocko produces five products, one at a time, throughout the year. Using data provided, Mihocko can determine an optimal production combination function based on potential sales, variable costs, particulate emissions, revenue…

Biotechnology is studied through technologies and products so in today’s society our health, life, and our planet can and will be improved through science and technology. In biotechnology over the years has created legal issues in clinical research. In order to better understand biotechnology let’s start from the very beginning where the three main agencies oversee biotechnology and that’s the USDA, EPA, and FDA. These agencies allow biotechnology legally and safety be made but must be followed…

The South Window of Canterbury Cathedral has long been one of the largest and eldest stained glass windows in existence. A factor that has had an impact on the ongoing restoration process is the high content of potassium oxide in the glass. Its presence renders the window more susceptible to the damages caused by pollutants. This study aims to analyze the making and restoration of the South Window of Canterbury Cathedral in relation to the potassium oxide that contributed to its deterioration.…
