Q2a) The three indicators used to create the Global Hunger Index are the proportion of people who are food-energy deficient, the relevance of underweight children under the age of five, and the under-five mortality rate. It ranks on 100-point scale, with 0 best score, and 100 being worst. Q2b) The countries with the greatest hunger problems are the ones that are in the alarming stage and the extreme alarming stage, and they tend to be third world countries, that are developing still. Also, the…

area (McLaren, 2009). In Alexia’s case, she suffers with multiple addictions. The social worker at the Chattard Center for Addictive Disorders decides to use other assessments to farther determine the severity of her problem. The Addiction Severity Index (ASI) is used to assesses the severity of problems. It reviews the person’s life history as well as the last thirty days in seven problem areas: medical, employment/support, alcohol use, drug use, illegal activity, family relations, and…

investment management – either utilizing active investment management or passive investment management. An active investment managers’ goal is to outperform a specific benchmark index by identifying mispriced securities. A passive managers’ goal is to closely track or replicate the return pattern of a specified benchmark index at a low cost. A passive manager does not make any attempt to seek out mispriced securities. Over the past several years, the rise of robo-advisor and FinTech which rely…

There is a significance of Body Mass Index to the potential risk of chronic diseases. By Body Mass Index categories I am considered overweight, being five feet seven and a half inches tall weighing one hundred and eighty five pounds. Waist measurements help to look for possible risk factors that come from being in the overweight category. A person 's waist that is above thirty five inches, for females, and forty inches, for males, greatly increases the risk factors. My waist measurement is…

visible LEDs. In majority of these applications, potential use of organic polymers is in the form of anti-reflective coatings, optical adhesives, substrates, and micro lenses. The critical property necessary for such applications is the high refractive index (RI) of the material. However, typical carbon based polymers have low RI values which limits the use of these polymers in the aforementioned applications. Thus, organic polymers with higher RI values, typically greater than 1.8, have…

capability. 1.1 Optical fiber: Basics An optical fiber is composed of three parts the core: dielectric material (glass), light propagation the cladding: lesser Refractive index of core(glass/plastic) stops loss of light from core scattering loss at the surface of the core the coating: protect an optical fiber from physical damage. 3 1.2 Fiber optic…

remember it. Do not spent so much time on it that you forget why you are even up there, and of course, stay focused, stay confident. Now for the hands, position the ball so that the numbers on it are facing you. Place your dominant hand so that your index finger is lined up slightly below the needle hole on the ball. Space your fingers about a half of an inch apart and place your other hand on the side of the ball so the center of your palm lines up where the lines on the ball meet. Make sure…

How much it bends depends on the refractive indices of the two mediums which is a ratio of the speed of light in one medium compared with the second. For example the refractive index (n) of crown glass can be calculated as it passes from air into crown glass Total internal reflection occurs when the refractive index of the first medium is more than that of the second. The angle of incidence is the angle that a ray of light hits an interface between two mediums relative to the normal. As…

will not soon be forgotten. Nate is a huge proponent of active retirement strategies and investing in foreign companies. This is a very difficult and time consuming method of investing, as well as very risky. Dr. Oltmans, on the other hand, prefers index funds, for a hired professional manages them and minimizes the risk of moving investments at the wrong time. I was thrilled to listen to Nate explain investment and retirement strategies and hope I am able to speak with him further about it in…

(1) Introduction Air pollution is the introduction of particulates, biological molecules, and many harmful substances into the earth’s atmosphere. All these substances are growing threats to human health and natural environment and it is mostly an impact caused by human actions. Since the industrial revolution, the world saw a huge increase in the usage of chemicals and fossil fuels to drive the majority of our energy usage. Pollution levels has only risen since then and have never seen a sign…
