Abstract In this research three methods have been used to find an initial basic feasible solution for the balanced transportation model. We have used a new method of Minimum Transportation Cost Method (MTCM) to find the initial basic feasible solution for the solved problem by Hakim [2]. Hakim used Proposed Approximation Method (PAM) to find initial basic feasible solution for balanced transportation model and then compared the results with Vogel’s Approximation Method (VAM) [2]. The results of both

Volcanoes are one of the earth’s most amazing displays of power. Volcanoes are the earth’s mechanism for cooling off its inner core. As the core of the planet heats up from the decay of radioactive elements deep in the earth‚ the rocks melt‚ forming magma. This heat needs to be released and allowed to escape to the surface. An eruption hole‚ or vent‚ is created through which burning hot molten rock and gases are released to the surface of the earth. The build-up of the ashes and lava flows (magma that has

For the first journal entry I would like to discuss the biopsychosocial model’s definition of health. I wholeheartedly support this model which includes biological‚ psychological‚ and social influences to be a part of the definition of health. I agree with this definition because it covers a wide range of variables that contribute to one’s health. For instance I consider myself to be healthy spiritually and psychologically; however‚ I am far from being physically healthy. Furthermore‚ there are plenty
