1) A convenience store chain attempts to be responsive and provide customers what they need‚ when they need it‚ where they need it. What are some different ways that a convenience store supply chain can be responsive? What are some risks in each case? In order to be response‚ a store has to make a selection between holding large inventory or frequent orders & frequent delivery routes. With holding large inventory‚ risks would be: risk of unsold products; inventory costs (in terms of money)

Evelyn is a well-nourished 80-year-old woman with extensive medical history who recently suffered a femur head fracture that presented as osteoporosis. By definition‚ osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease that leaves the bones weak and unable to sustain any weight or pressure. Osteoporosis occurs when the body makes too little or not enough bone‚ causing the bones to break or fracture easily with a simple fall. Both the spongy and compact bone is affected when osteoporosis is present. The main

The second set of data was formed by components relevant to urban sprawl such as city area‚ private cars per capita‚ population density and number of urban population. Pearson correlation and multiple regression methods have been applied to compare and identify the relation between climatic components with urban sprawl indices. Results of correlation indicate that among the 5 aforementioned

the Earth contains a central core of nickel-iron metal. The core is surrounded by a layer of dense rock‚ called the mantle‚ that extends most of the way from the core to the surface. Near the surface‚ the densities of the rocks are typically lower. The crust is a thin outer layer of lower density rock about 3 miles thick under the oceans and about 18.5 miles thick under the continents. he core-mantle-crust structure gives us important clues about the history of the Earth and other planets.

Osteoporosis is a disease where the bone density and the quality of the bone is reduced in individuals‚ which leads to a higher risk of fractures. Osteoporosis in women and the elderly the cause more serious issues which makes them frail and more likely to become injured. There are nearly 9 million incidents reported annually of fractures that are directly related to Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis accounts for 70-80% of all fractures sustained by women suffering from it. This makes osteoporosis a significant

Osteoporosis is a disease of bones that leads to an increased risk of fracture. Osteoporosis is a disorder in which the bones become increasingly brittle due to the loss of calcium and other mineral components. In osteoporosis‚ the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced‚ bone microarchitecture deteriorates‚ and the amount and variety of proteins in bones are altered. Osteoporosis can cause severe back pain‚ hip fracture‚ and loss of mobility. It is very damaging to the vertebrae and can lead to needing

1. Why is it necessary to establish a harmonized definition of a city? Even though there were many definitions for city‚ but there were not many definitions for a harmonized city. For that reason‚ people had to make a judgment on recognition of city with the standard from each country. It is too ambiguous to set the standard for the definition of a harmonized city. It can be confused since each country has different standard for its city. The definition of international city will be a helpful guide
