As Landgraf’s objective is to design a more cost-effective network (cost minimization problem subject to various capacity constraints)‚ the following production network in 2009 should have been used by BioPharma: *All numbers below are in millions *Total Transportation Cost=SUMPRODUCT of each plant’s Highcal production with corresponding transportation costs (TABLE

Chapter 5 Biodiversity‚ Species Interactions‚ and Population Control Summary 1. Two major factors affect the number of species in a community: the latitude in terrestrial communities and salinity/nutrients in aquatic systems. 2. Species play different roles in a community. Native species sustain the ecosystem in which they are a part. Some nonnative species will crowd out native species. Indicator species alert us to harmful changes in the community. Keystone species play ecological

Due to these differences‚ the overall performances of the plants differ in terms of average yield of raw material and profitability. In this report we have analysed the effects of these differences between the plants and we recommend a model that Applichem can use to minimise its total costs.

Diffusing Capacity Tests Diffusing capacity test it’s done to measure the lung’s ability to exchange gases through alveolar-capillary membrane by using gas mixture. In this test they assess 3 things to see the efficacy of the lung; 1- Lungs’ surface area with contact diffusing alveoli which is "alveolar volume". 2- Thickness of alveolar-capillary membrane. 3- blood volume available in the pulmonary capillaries. Physiology: In normal lung the gas exchange occur by passive diffusion of the gas via
