Introduction

Fluid mechanics involves the application of the principles of forces and motions to liquids and gases (fluids).Based on the laws of motions we have two distinct categories of fluid mechanics which are hydrostatics and fluid dynamics. In hydrostatics the study involves the characteristics of the fluid at rest and the resultant pressure exerted by a body that is introduced into the fluid by immersion. Numerical models form a very integral part in dam construction modeling and design. Concrete dams rely mainly on their weight for stability and are categorized as gravity dams. The most common material used in Continue reading...

Obesity, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is defined as the abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health. A Body Mass Index (BMI) – an index of weight-for-height used to estimate overweight and obesity in children and adults - of 30kg/m2 or more suggests that a person is suffering from obesity (Food Research and Action Center, nd). Statistics show that in 2014, 13% of the world’s adult population, roughly 600 million adults, are obese (World Health Organization, nd). Of these 600 million adults, 13.1% or 78.6 million are from the U.S. (Centers for Disease Control and Continue reading...

Introduction.

There are a number of forecasting methods that can be used for purposes of coming up with sales and/or budgeting estimates. In question the methods that will be used are, simple moving average, 3 year weighted average, five year weighted average and five year exponentially smoothed weighted average.

Simple moving average.

In this forecasting method all the prior data is assigned equal weights (Lucey, 2002, pp.231). For this method the entire historical data is used and each year assigned a weight of one. The sum of the weight will thus be 10. Using this method the forecast for 2010 is calculated as Continue reading...

Diabetes is growing as a chronic disease worldwide. Data estimations show that more than 13,000 youths are diagnosed with diabetes across United States. Type-2 diabetes is increasing rapidly among children due to the sedentary lifestyle. Classification of Diabetes is based on age, symptoms, treatments and its significances (National Diabetes Data Group, 1979).

Types of Diabetes

Type-1
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder. With Type-1, diabetes body erroneously begins to act against its insulin-producing cells and starts to demolish them. As a result, the insulin hormone formation is stalled. Continue reading...

Currently, growing awareness on the occurrence of symptoms in clusters is on the rise. There is an increasing awareness of how the different clusters relate to each other in a diagnosis of a disease and how the different symptoms can be managed in order to relieve the symptoms. In my role as a Transitional Nurse Practitioner (TNP), I face different situations where patients come with different symptoms and there are cases when it becomes difficult to understand how the different symptoms relate to each other. However, recently, a woman in her 40s came to the health facility presenting with Continue reading...

Introduction

Millions of firefighters are facing head and neck injuries due to the weight of fire-helmets. These helmets are the rescue helmets that are a part of their protective clothing. This research will focus on the main three issues:
1) Any upper limit of the weight that can be safely supported by the head with regards to both short- and long-term injury?
2. Is there an optimal distribution of mass that would minimize the risk of head and neck injury?
3. Are different design criteria, in terms of loads and load distributions, required for helmets intended for women?
Many studies Continue reading...

Engaging in Frequent Physical Exercises Every Week

Engaging in physical exercises has been associated with improving health conditions of individuals and preventing the occurrence of certain diseases.

Introduction

In this report, we will illustrate the portfolio construction process where each stock or asset will be selected considering the client’s risk-return objective. Since, the client is risk-averse; we will not expose the portfolios to high risk, and will try to construct the portfolio composition with the core fundamentals of the portfolio management, i.e. a highly diversified portfolio where weights of each portfolio will be selected on the basis of maximum return-minimum risk profile.

Section 1

a)Five companies to be considered while optimizing the portfolio are Apple Inc., Starbucks Coffee, Caterpillar Inc., Nike Inc. and General Motors. While selecting Continue reading...

There are several hypotheses and theories that suggest that the occurrence of maternal obesity has adverse outcomes for the offspring’s health in the later life. Human and animal studies have shown evidence that indicate that obesity in mothers increases the offspring’s risk of developing obesity. With the varied evidence, it is necessary for maternal obesity is curbed in the bud to lower the risk of offspring becoming obese in their later lives.
Maternal obesity or excessive maternal nutrition may lead to obesity and obesity-related disease in offspring later in life. Overweight or obesity is an accumulation of Continue reading...
