Exponentials

of The Great Depression. Around the early 1980s, many businesses choose to sell at least some percentage of the company sometimes to make a lot of money and sometimes to reduce the risk of losing it all. Once this is done, mangers must uphold an exponential amount of profit, to keep the investors happy. At the time even though businesses are making more money now, payroll has…

Non-State Conflict with our smaller tactical unit doctrine - unconventional and/or irregular warfare against non-state actors. Today, most casualties are from non-combat causes. Since 2010 - near the end of Iraq War - the US has been on a steady exponential decrease in causality. When it comes to 'near-peer competitors', we do what we did at the beginning of the cold-war. We deter! We had learned that deterrence with state-actors is accomplished with the size of your military forces and…

My favourite actress in the play was the main character, Anne Frank. She was spectacularly portrayed in an inspiring and uplifting way by Sara Farb. Whether she was acting out the childish girl we first met or the increasingly self-conscious young woman two years later, Sara Farb was effectively able to convey Anne because she made me believe she is actually going through whatever the character is going through both physically and mentally. The performances that most often thrill me are those…

Argument: Should steps be taken to reduce the flow of people, food, and manufactured goods because they have such a negative impact on public health? The great benefit that trade and modern conveyance have given society globally outweighs the adverse effects, ceasing business of commerce because of the symptoms it creates would be analogous to cutting off an arm to save a finger. The better approach for lowering the spread of disease would be to provide health care, better wages & sick days to…

One of the main causes of climate change is the exponential population growth occurring globally. As medicine and technology has improved, life expectancy has risen and parents are more inclined to raise larger families. However, a larger population requires more resources to be sustainable, which puts an…

produce as much food in the next 40 years as they have in the last 8000,” says Jason Clay, senior vice president of market transformation for the World Wildlife Fund (Ingeno 2013). This is clearly because our population is increasing enormously at an exponential rate. David Jenkins, professor in the Nutritional Sciences department at the University of Toronto, suggests that eating plants would not only lower cholesterol and blood pressure but also be more sustainable than livestock production…

The Fall of the Roman Empire In approximately 200 AD, the ruling power of Greece started to diminish whereas the Roman Empire continued to expand at an exponential rate. The Roman Army persisted in their efforts to seize territory, and was so thorough in its imperialistic endeavors that it grew to an impressive size. Rome, obtaining the title of preeminent empire of the ancient world for several centuries, was comprised of various elements from successful societies such as the Greeks and…

Within his essay, Nicholas Carr argues that the exponential growth of Internet use in people of all ages has changed the way we seek out and absorb information. He quotes multiple successful, well-versed people who have admitted that as their use of the Internet has grown, their reading habits have changed or diminished. Also, Carr describes how researching information or searching for articles of interest has been drastically altered. He details this change saying, “My mind now expects to take…

(Germany, Austria, & Italy) as well as the Ottoman Empire, were known as the Central Powers The Triple Entente of 1907 linked France, Britain (and Russia), known as the Allied Powers These alliances allowed for larger scale war to happen (grow exponential from what should have only been a regional war into an intercontinental conflict) • WWI started when Kings/Emperors/Queens still ruled but their armies were led by professional generals (the rulers no longer lead the troops into battle & didn’t…

4.0 Results and Discussion Before the strontium quantification of the solutions resulted from the ion exchange experiments, it was necessary to investigate what is the range where strontium absorbs radiation linearly and what is the detection limit. The graphs below show the absorbance (atomic absorption) in function of the strontium concentration and it can clearly be seen in figure 2 that at concentrations above 10 ppm the samples start to present non-linear absorption. Therefore, all the…
