model-based approach was used to assess soil erosion risk. The well-known Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) (Wischmeier and Smith, 1978) was used because it is one of the least data demanding erosion models that have been developed and it has been applied widely at different scales. The model is designed to estimate long-term annual erosion rates of agricultural fields. The USLE model as described in Equation 1 was used to predict erosion of each 100 m2 cells in this study.

The Controversial Equation For A Good Life It seems appropriate that during the course of one’s life, one has to at some point evaluate what makes a life a good one and come to terms with whether they lived their life well or not. This question “What is the good Life?,” has been explored by thinkers from diverse disciplines and dates back from Plato and Aristotle to present time. Renowned legal philosopher Ronald Dworkin detailed a possible answer in his essay “What Is A Good Life?” based on the…

Personal Equation, Organ Donation In this very moment, 123,000 people in the United States are waiting for an organ. An additional person is added to the national waiting list every twelve minutes. More than 6,500 people a year, about 21 patients per day, die before an organ ever becomes available. There are two types of organ donations: living and deceased. Organ transplants may significantly improve an individual 's quality of health, or even save a person’s life. Technology and experience…

“The Cold Equations” is a story where only men are found to be in charge. When a girl was found on an EDS ship, no one seemed to know what to do. If a man was found to be a stowaway on a ship, he would be ejected immediately, but “the stowaway is a girl” (Godwin 5)…

This chapter presents the model equations and assumptions. The physical properties of charcoal and air, the initial conditions, as well as the important system parameters are then outlined. Solution algorithm of the model equations is then explained. The effect of the intra-particle diffusion is examined by means of effective mass transfer coefficient. It can be obtained by similarity with heat transfer by conduction. Finally, the criterion for choosing the optimum switching time is set. 4.1.…

Elements of Orbital Analysis We first derive a general solution of a two-body problem subject to the universal gravitational attraction (Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation), and then consider special cases of interest for our purpose. 1.4.1. Equation of Motion under Newton’s Law of Gravitation Using the coordinates shown in Figure 1.2, Newton’s Law of Gravitation implies that the two bodies of masses M and m, and the radius vectors r ⃗_M and r ⃗_m , respectively, would exert the…

Business Math was first put into practice by industry leaders, George Dantzig and Harold Kuhn, in the 1950’s. Business Mathematics is important in everyday life because not only does it help companies and organizations record and manage business related operations but it is also helpful for companies and organizations to make data driven decisions that ultimately relate to logistics, supply chains and warehousing. Business math differs from other types of math’s because it consists of more…

M6 Book Review State the book's thesis. “Five Equations that Changed the World” book consists the discovery of five remarkable equations of five notable scientists from 17th-20th centuries and their outcomes till 20th century. This book is divided into five chapters. The introduction of each chapter begins with some affected incident in the main character's life which helps the reader to follow the next part. After the introduction, there are three parts, which author labeled as Veni, Vidi,…

Fluid dynamics and Bernoulli's equation Moving fluids Fluid dynamics is the study of how fluids behave when they're in motion. This can get very complicated, so we'll focus on one simple case, but we should briefly mention the different categories of fluid flow. Fluids can flow steadily, or be turbulent. In steady flow, the fluid passing a given point maintains a steady velocity. For turbulent flow, the speed and or the direction of the flow varies. In steady flow, the motion can be represented…

Tom Godwin’s “Cold Equations” and Ray Bradbury’s “The Pedestrian” both share similarities in their respective views on the effect of technology on human freedom and individuality in the future. In “Cold Equations”, if a human stows away on an EDS ship, the computer systems of that ship’s calculations for the exact amount of fuel needed to get from point A to point B would be incorrect: “Additional fuel would be used during the hours of deceleration to compensate for the added mass of the…
