We’ve analyzed our potential suppliers for each gauge‚ taking into account their capacity‚ cost of production for each plant‚ and transportation costs (The model and our objective function can be found in the appendix.) Our goal was to allocate spinning production (at Filatoi Riuniti and six local mills) in a manner that would minimize overall costs‚ while meeting the demand and operating within the capacity constraint of each plant. Given the output of our optimization model‚ we should be outsourcing

I. Introduction A buffer system is a mixture of a weak acid or a weak base and its salt (conjugate base or conjugate acid‚ respectively) that permits solutions to resist large changes in pH upon the addition of small amounts of hydrogen ions (H+) or hydroxide ions (OH-). If the same amount of the buffer is added‚ the pH may only change a fraction of a unit. Our blood is a good example of a buffered system. It is maintained under a pH of 7.4. Thus‚ buffers are important in many areas of chemistry

If we were able to prove that animals and non-person humans have rational capacity‚ although different compared to persons‚ then these non-person beings might be given moral rights. Since humans usually use the supposedly unique rational capacity to justify their dominion over the other beings‚ then proving the rationality of non-person humans and animals could result to gaining basic respect for them from the
