would like a summary for this text below as the content is related to discrimination in the housing market.please you can write the a summary and typing and not write by hand,so that I can read and understand your answer clearly.BR.

1-In the field of discrimination, a number of different variants of surveys have been carried out. One study that we have been inspired by is Barto's study, In the first experiment we study ethnic discrimination in the rental market in the Czech Republic, a market with low selectivity. The study shows the tendency of different forms of discrimination in a group of everyday different markets, including the housing market. Such field trials had often, up to this point, used a personal approach where two testers, one from a majority group and one from a minority group, where they were matched based on their socio-economic characteristics and trained to act the same when interacting with housing. The empirical part as related to previous study, which uses minorities sounding names in applications, to estimate discrimination in the labor market (Jowell and Prescott-Clarke 1970, Bertrand and Mullainathan 2004) and the rental housing market (Ahmed and Hammarstedt 2008, Bosch, et al. 2010, Hanson and Hawley 2011). They consistently find that minority-sounding names lead to lower invitations to a job interview or apartment showing.
In the study Political science as the missing link in housing studies (2009), Bo Bengtsson highlights the difficulties of finding previously carried out research projects on housing policy. Only five research reports are found that describe the housing situation - a vanishingly small part of the total number of published articles. Bengtsson presents five hypotheses about possible explanations and preconceived notions that have influenced housing policy research and believes that all explanations have shortcomings and can therefore be questioned. Among other things, he examines the claim that the state has withdrawn as a player in housing issues and notes that housing, on the contrary, is still a current topic in the public debate, even among politicians. Bengtsson's major contribution to research consists of the fact that he clearly shows what political science as an academic discipline can bring to this area of ​​research.
An ethnic hierarchy can also be seen with regard to the segregation that exists in Sweden. A person's labor market situation explains part of the segregation, but since some groups of immigrants have a worse housing situation despite a better work situation, it is reasonable to conclude that the surrounding society's view of a person's physical character and culture affects their housing opportunities.

A round composite bar is used to conduct heat. It is held at 600K at one end and 1000K at the other end but all other surfaces are insulated. The two end pieces of the bar are Stainless Steel (AISI304), and the middle piece is Copper. The length of each piece of the bar is 0.2m (total length is 0.6m) and the diameter is 0.07m.

A) Change the middle piece of the round bar to stainless steel to make the bar of uniform material. Change the boundary conditions to make this bar a fin with a constant base temperature and with an insulated end. Apply convection at all cylindrical surfaces except the base and the tip. The convection coefficient, h = 50 W/(m2·K), and fluid temperature of T = 300K. Plot the temperature

B) Plot the analytical solution of the temperature distribution for this fin versus the fin length (T vs x). Include your hand calculations.

On October 8th 2020, a CBC article was published that detailed the investment of public funds by both the governments of Canada and Ontario into Ford Motor Company to help them upgrade their Oakville plant for the production of electric vehicles. This upgrade will make the Oakville plant Ford’s largest electric vehicle factory in North America. Both governments described their investment as a “win-win” because they promote employment, technology innovation and “our transition to a low-carbon, clean-growth economy.”

a) Perhaps Ford Motor Company’s decision to accelerate their capacity to manufacture electric vehicles signals their understanding of planetary boundaries. If this were the case, and drawing on concepts from class on business and the natural world, how would electric vehicle production lessen the stress on any specific planetary boundary, and would this strategic shift reflect an adaptation strategy, a mitigation strategy, or both? Explain.

The construction of a dual D(G) can be applied in any plane graph G: draw a vertex of D(G) in the middle of each region of G and draw an edge e* of D(G) perpendicular to each edge e of G; e* connects the vertices of D(G) representing the regions on either side of e.

a) A dual need not be a graph. It might have two edges between the same pair of vertices or a self-loop edge (from a vertex to itself). find two planar graphs with duals that are not graphs because they contain these two forbidden situations.

C) Show that the degree of a vertex in dual graph D(G) equals the number of boundary edges of the corresponding region in the planar graph G.

E) show for any plane depiction of a graph G that the vertices of G correspond to regions in D(G)

It's a well known fact that an observer that accelerates at a constant rate from ?c at past infinity to +c at future infinity sees a horizon in flat Minkowski spacetime. This is easy to see from a spacetime diagram once you realize that the union of past light cones on such a trajectory has a boundary that divides the spacetime into two regions - one inaccessible by the accelerating observer.

This leads to the classic result of Unruh radiation when one looks at the quantum field theory for such an observer. The horizon plays a crucial role here.

How does one go about determining whether a horizon is seen by a general class of worldines? In particular, is there any reason to believe that a horizon would exist for an observer that is stationary for all time except for a finite period of acceleration and deceleration?

Is there any other class of worldlines other than an indefinitely accelerating observer for which a horizon is known to exist in flat spacetime?
