QUESTION ONE Identify and discuss any five microeconomic drivers of economic growth. Efficiency This is when available resources are used to a maximum potential and wasting is not an option. This occurs when they are skilled and resource conscious people are involved in manufacturing process. Equity This takes places when resources, income and wealth are sincerely and equally distributed within a community or state. This is a result of fair and followed principles, regulations, stable…
According to the USDA, on any given day, 13% of Americans will have consumed pizza (Rhodes). Be it the sauce-on-the-top deep dish of Chicago, the "pizza on a cracker" from St. Louis, or, God forbid, frozen—the United States loves this Italian entrée. However, it seems that many people do not consider the science behind the creation of this popular cuisine. But I have. I worked in an Italian eatery for almost a year-and-a-half and made more pizzas than any human should be subjected to. Because of…
technicians. These bodies actually serve the customers, both the airlines and passengers. The airfield technicians make sure the runways and taxiways are to the standards set by the Federal Aviation Administration. Without doing this, the airport can yield extremely serious fines or reprimands. These can be as extreme as shutting the airport down until further notice or until the issue is properly resolved. This will stop all revenue for the Colorado Springs Airport. The maintenance and…
framework (SMAF). The SMAF was developed to use in large-scale assessment, conservation planning and soil health evaluation, recently adding the incorporation of β-glucosidase, which reflects the plant residue decomposition and microbial biomass-C scoring curves (Stott et al., 2010). In this framework, Veum et al. (2013) indicated potential multiple indicators that can count into the index of soil quality include, biological indicators; microbial biomass carbon and microbial enzyme activities,…
Tesla is also anticipating a third generation sedan of its model “S” that will go on sale between 2016 and 2017. Growth expectations from their benchmark sedan will push sales volumes in the 250,000 a year range. That puts Tesla ahead of the curve yield, with other electric luxury car makers like, BMW, Lexus, Porsche and Mercedes. Unfortunately for Tesla its competition noted, is also producing electric vehicles. That means Tesla will not be the only choice in the electric luxury car…
When disaster strikes, regardless of the causation, it falls on the federal government to formulate a means by which to achieve a level of safety for its citizens. In such cases as federal outbreak, different nations may have different means by which to approach said crisis. Both World War I and World War II can a point of reference in the diverging methods they employed in their original strategy to attempting to ensure victory and safety for themselves and their respective allies. In the case…
The solubility was observed by sedimentation of particles. Standard calibration curve of Dex-ibuprofen Dex-ibuprofen (10 mg) was dissolved in 100 mL methanol. From these stock solution aliquots of 0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8,0.10 µ/mlwere withdrawn in 10 mL volumetric flask and diluted up to the volume with methanol and phosphate buffer (ph 7.4)…
3.1 MATERIALS Kinnow: Kinnow used in this study were procured from local market of Hisar. Identical cultivar, color and source were selected in an attempt to minimize variability in carotenoids and ascorbic acid contents which were associated with variety, color and growing conditions. Procured kinnow samples were fresh, mature, fully ripened and were free from any spot and blemishes. Chemicals: All chemicals used during study were of analytical grade (AR) and were supplied by Qualigens…
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). Technological advances in the industrial revolution broke this trap and propelled Europe and America as shown in Figure 1 below. The 19th and 20th centuries saw…
Introduction: Research comparing the effects of environmental hypoxia with that of normoxia provides scientists with important information about the human physiological response with respect to the conditions of rest and exercise. Hypoxia can occur under normobaric or hypobaric conditions; however, normobaric hypoxia will be the focus of this investigation. Naughton et al., state that during hypobaric hypoxia, partial pressure of O2 (PO2) drops and O2 concentrations remain the same; whereas,…
