congestion at the boat-launching ramp near Mansfield Dam. On weekends‚ the arrival rate averages 5 boaters per hour‚ Poisson distributed. The average time to launch or retrieve a boat is 10 minutes‚ with negative exponential distribution. Assume that only one boat can be launched or retrieved at a time. a.) The LCRA plans to add another ramp when the average turnaround time exceeds 90 minutes. At what average arrival rate per hour should the LCRA begin to consider adding another ramp? b.) If there

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CORROSION OF CERMETS ALLOY ABSTRACT Tungsten carbides (WC) are widely used as wear resistant components such as seal‚ valves‚ rings‚ nozzle and bearings. But in some processing operations‚ the environment necessarily includes severe corrosion or extremes of temperatures. In this research‚ commercially cobalt tungsten carbide (WC-6%Co) and nickel tungsten carbide (WC-9%Ni) was examined in seawater (3.5% salinity) to know the effect of temperature on corrosion for both

disconnect in the world today between the moderately literate‚ the most literate‚ and those that are just left behind. America’s educational system is deeply flawed and a perfect example is a very eye opening short story called “I Just Wanna Be Average” by Mike Rose(1989). Mike Rose explains his short stint in the Vocational track ‚ where kids go who can’t quite make it in America’s public schools.The only reason why Rose ended up going to this school because his test scores were mixed with another

DNA Structure Monday‚ 15 April 2013 9:01 AM - DNA = Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA is a double-helix: it has two strands that twist around each other Each strand is made of single units call nucleotides It has a sugar-phosphate backbone Bases join the two strands by hydrogen bonds ○ These bases are cytosine‚ guanine‚ adenine and thymine. - Complementary base pairing is a key idea in genetics: C pairs with G‚ and T pairs with A. - Each strand of DNA can be millions of base pairs in length and is

ultrasound to enable precise measurement. First locate a point 3 mm posterior to the optic disk. At this point place the calipers at 90 degrees to the axis of the optic nerve to measure the diameter of optic nerve and optic nerve sheath • Take the average of two or three measurements for each side. A 1996 study by Helmke & Hansen suggested the optimal scanning orientation was longitudinal (axial)‚ as this was associated with the least inter-observer variability (37). However‚ aside from

Q1: The first financial strategy “Manage rather than own hotel assets” is consistent with growth objectives. The company sold out the hotel assets while keeping a long-term management contract. We calculated the Return on Assets (ROA) from 1978 to 1987‚ it increased a little in 1979 and kept decreasing to 1987(Exhibit 1). By managing rather than owning the hotel assets‚ Marriott is able to increase its ROA thereby increasing potential profitability and its financial position in the market. Marriott

My topic for the science fair project is "The effect of temperature in energy loss in a basketball". Some of my subtopics for my project include the pressure air and height in a basketball‚ the material a basketball is made out of and the size of the ball. Different sports require different size balls to correspond with the correct bounce it needs to be used during the sport. Thats why you would not be able to use a tennis ball to play basketball because it is too bouncy and a soccer

future plans. Classes are made up of groups of friends that pressure each other to disrupt the other students. Doing so takes the students attention away from what the teacher is saying and their work. If the classes were divided by grade point averages‚ the students that didn’t care would not be in a class with students who do care. Therefore they could learn better and be more prepared. Schools in today’s society are made up of the students who spend their time studying and students that are

energy from our hands to the ice and the temperature difference between the two objects. The energy we are familiar with is called heat while temperature is the measure of a degree of heat or coldness of an object. In everyday life‚ heat or cold is commonly used to explain the degree of temperature of an object. An object that is said to be hot means it has a high temperature. Similarly‚ when an object is said to be cold‚ is means it is has a low temperature.  IMAGE GOES HERE Image Source Why
