The problem with garbage is that it’s a sum zero game. Garbage has to go somewhere but nobody wants it in their backyard. It’s as if trash is deposited in the garbage can and somehow it’s supposed to disappear into some magic black hole. Problem is‚ there is no black hole. There isn’t even room for any more landfill. What was once thought to be a progressive solution - incinerating garbage - has become a major point of contention. Incineration of things such as plastics and medical waste raise serious

(Source: “Center for Medicare Advocacy‚ Inc.”‚ 2007) Issues Most Americans agree that affordable drug coverage under Medicare has been needed for some time. But instead of a solution to a growing problem‚ Congress gave the country a prescription-drug plan that achieves few of its original goals. The current problems with Medicare Part D are largely a direct result of the undemocratic way in which the plan was authored

The Population Problem Two hundred years ago‚ Thomas Malthus‚ in An Essay on the Principle of Population‚ reached the conclusion that the number of people in the world will increase exponentially‚ while the ability to feed these people will only increase arithmetically (21). Current evidence shows that this theory may not be far from the truth. For example‚ between 1950 and 1984‚ the total amount of grain produced more than doubled‚ much more than the increase in population in those 34 years.

URBAN OPERATION RESEARCH 6.4 ROUTING PROBLEMS One of the most common problems in urban service systems is the design of routes for vehicles or people. In some instances‚ these routes must be designed so that they traverse in an exhaustive way the streets in a neighborhood or in a specific part of a city or‚ occasionally‚ in a whole city. Alternatively‚ the objective may be to visit a set of given geographical points in a city in order to provide some service there or to deliver or collect goods

SAMPLE PROBLEMS: 111-SET #1 VECTOR ADDITION‚ SUBTRACTION 01-1 1). A man is able to row a boat at 3 mph in still water. If he rows his boat pointed straight across a river with a current of 4 mph‚ what is his net velocity? If the river is 0.5 miles wide‚ at what point will he land on the other side? Solution: The first step in problem solving is to identify the problem type. In this problem we are asked for a ‘net velocity.’ Since velocities behave as vectors‚ then we have a vector addition

Problem-Solving Despite what folks accomplish as a profession or where they exist‚ most folks use the majority of their waking hours‚ at a workplace or at home‚ tackling situations. Most situations people challenge are little‚ some are substantial and complex‚ yet they need to be settled in a tasteful manner. There are a few definitions of a situation or how one individual may distinguish a situation. A situation is a chance for development. A situation may be a true break‚ the stroke of fortunes

moles-stoichiometry-practice-problems Now you’re ready to use what you know about conversion factors to solve some stoichiometric problems in chemistry. Almost all stoichiometric problems can be solved in just four simple steps: 1.Balance the equation. 2.Convert units of a given substance to moles. 3.Using the mole ratio‚ calculate the moles of substance yielded by the reaction. 4.Convert moles of wanted substance to desired units. These "simple" steps probably look complicated at first

Fin 4910/6990 Further Questions Problem 7.19 (a) Company A has been offered the rates shown in Table 7.3. It can borrow for three years at 6.45%. What floating rate can it swap this fixed rate into? (b) Company B has been offered the rates shown in Table 7.3. It can borrow for 5 years at LIBOR plus 75 basis points. What fixed rate can it swap this floating rate into? (a) Company A can pay LIBOR and receive 6.21% for three years. It can therefore exchange a loan at 6.45% into a loan at LIBOR plus
