Jil Patel: Wingate test calculation: • Client name: Baedon (weight = 96 kg) I. Power output (RPM =10) (5sec= 0.0833) [force = load(kg)×RPM (5sec interval)] (distance = 6m/min) = [Force Distance] Time = [7.2 x 10 x 6] 0.0833 = 432 0.0833 = 5186.07 kg m/min [1.0 W = 6.12 kg m/min] =…

and drug trafficking has existed in Mexico for ages but it began only focused on marijuana and small amounts of heroin. They transported the drugs by propeller planes. According to the article “The New Cocaine Cowboys” “In exchange for $1,000 per kilogram of cocaine, the Mexican…

The main reason ivory is popular is because it is expensive; its only purpose in today’s world is to display wealth, but it wasn’t always as expensive as it is today. In 2002 ivory cost only $150 per kilogram; a price dwarfed by the ridiculously exorbitant $900 per pound vendors were asking for in 2012.

A total of one hundred ninety-six countries (One-hundred ninety-five, if people don’t include Taiwan) in the world and they all use the metric system, except Burma, Liberia, and the United States. Gabriel Mouton is the “father” of the International System of Units because he proposed the idea of the decimal system of measurement in 1670.

Eisenhower’s Atoms for Peace initiative and signed treaty No.4898.

New technological tools have the capabilities of improving the healthcare of patients while simultaneously saving lives. One saved the life of my sister, who if was born before the days of the modern neonatal incubator would have had a harder time recuperating from her onset of breathing problems after birth. Not unlike mine, there are copious survival stories aided by the use of a tool which leads me to support the advancement of technological tools in medicinal practice, rather than those who…

that the results would reflect reality. And while the efficiency in a nuclear reactor is approximately the same, the amount of energy produced is much higher. Even though the turbine technology is the same, the amount of heat in kWh produced by one kilogram of uranium is approximately 24 million compared to 8 from coal and 12 from mineral oil [4]. While these numbers aren’t precise, they give a general understanding of comparison. How much waste is produced by Coal Fired power plants vs.…

impact on the environment (hazardous gas emissions), economy (disposal cost) and health (DEFRA, 2011). About 3 billion tonnes of MSW are generated in Europe annually (EC, 2010). Fig 1.1 shows the municipal waste generation by EU countries expressed in kilogram per capital for year 2003 and 2013. While Fig 1.2, shows the amount of waste treated in EU countries (EU27) for the period 1995 to 2013. In 2008, about 53% of all the MSW generated in UK were disposed of in Landfill, while incineration…
