equilibria using a Monte Carlo approach in order to investigate the effect of those uncertainties on calculated pCO2 in four lake groups across a broad gradient of alkalinity and dissolved organic carbon concentrations. We also determine which carbonate equilibrium and alkalinity group is least sensitive to variation in input parameters and gives the most precise estimates of pCO2. We also compare calculated pCO2 with direct pCO2 observations to investigate if random error magnitudes among the…
Traditionally the business objectives are aimed at maximizing profits in a sustainable environment while putting the stakeholder’s value in the business as a priority. However, due to the change in the stakeholder’s theory, the business objectives have been changed to putting the stakeholder’s value first in order to maximize the business profits. This is done through improvement of the business ethics. This emphasizes that the business is responsible to the society in which it is operating.…
Question 1 Define ad explain using formulae, the term price elasticity of demand. Answer 1 Demand is price elastic if the change in price leads to a even larger proportion of change in demand; therefore price elasticity of demand will therefore be greater than 1. This is because goods that are inelastic have all these qualities or features They are expensive/luxury or costly goods, e.g. or latest smartphones or designer clothes. Goods with many substitutes or similar products have a…
their real wage earned. On the contrarily, the more people they hire the less money they have to offer them. Therefore this discourages firms from investing. Another cause of unemployment is powerful trade unions, causing wages to push above the equilibrium and therefore causing real wage…
resources strategically to become a superpower? China and India dominated the world economy till 1800 AD accounting for 50 to 60 percent of the combined global GDP (S.R.; D.H., 2014). The world was stuck in a Malthusian trap, which is described as an equilibrium of non-growing income per capita leading to GDP being directly proportional to the population. The countries with higher populations had a higher yield and thus higher share of global GDP (Steinmann, Prskawetz, & Feichtinger, 1998).…
system and hormones take responsibility in assisting with this process in order for all regulations to be controlled. For example, the blood sugar levels; Blood sugar levels needs to be adequately controlled to be able to provide the cells with a constant supply of energy. This process is controlled by the release and storage of glucose, which in return is controlled by a hormone known by the name of insulin. Therefore, insulin is produced by the pancreas that is the regulation of glucose…
5. 3. 4 Typical application and thermometric error Consider a typical application such as the measurement of surface temperature by a surface mounted thermocouple as shown in Figure 5.9 (a). Figure 5. 9 : (a) Surface mounted thermocouple in Example 5. 1 (b) Thermal resistance network model Heat loss from the thermocouple is modeled as shown above by discussion leading to Equation 5.3. Thermocouple attached to the surface of a massive solid whose temperature we would like to measure.…
interesting facts discusses why osmosis and salinity impact marine organisms. Osmosis relates to the amount of water that travels across cell membranes. During osmosis, the water travels from high concentration to low concentration until it reaches equilibrium. There are two types of osmosis reactions. The first label, osmotic conformers, includes organisms that cannot control osmosis and do not have body regulations to discrete chemicals. Because they do not have a regulator to excrete water,…
In Platoon, equilibrium begins when new recruits, including Chris, arrive in Vietnam. Right at the start of their journey they are reminded how horrible the war is as they see numerous body bags being loaded onto planes. Similarly, Sergeant Bob Barnes (Tom Berenger) can…
The sex offender’s injustice Critical to this essay, is to demonstrate the subjectivity of the idea of justice within the sphere of law. Although victims and vigilantes may feel that they are required to reestablish justice on their own terms, the sex offenders themselves may also feel that they are treated unjustly after they have been released. The offender not only looses his or her freedom for a period of time, they also lose their sense of self and self-esteem. Not only have they served…
