As you know, it takes energy to separate mixtures. You will learn this in more detail in the separations course. The idea is simple, if it takes work to separate mixtures, we should be able to produce work by making mixtures! The next question is where can we find large size streams to mix to produce significant work? The answer is simple too. Let’s go where the rivers meet the ocean! Suppose we wish to extract work when fresh river water flows into the ocean. Analyze this possibility by exploring potential ways of extracting some of the mixing energy into useful work. Once you have some ideas of how to do it, perform the actual analysis for a river of your choice in the United States. Do all the necessary calculations using appropriate thermodynamic models and make sure you estimate the maximum theoretical work that can be extracted as well.

Using the world_x database you installed on your MySQL Workbench, create a new table named “independence” with the following attributes (columns):

A field named “id” which has data type auto_increment,

A field named “country_name” which has data type varchar(50), and

A field named “independence_date” which has type “date.”

After you create the table, run the following SQL command:

INSERT INTO independence(country_name, independence_date) VALUE (‘United States’,’1776-07-04’)

Submit a 1-page Microsoft Word document that shows the following:

The SQL command you used to create the “independence” table and a list of the rows in the “independence” table.

Explain the purpose of the field named “id.” Why do you not have to include it in an insert statements? How would change the incrementing value to a number greater than one?

You are on a hiring committee for an attending physician at a major hospital in the United States. An upstanding, Anglo-Saxon doctor with more than 35 years on the job has passed away and it is your responsibility to fill the position. You have more than 50 resumes in your possession and some of them are from women and minorities. The hospital is dedicated to equal opportunities for all applicants, but you are unsure of how to apply this concept in this instance because no one seems to match up to the previous doctor. Every applicant is board certified, however, some attended “better” schools than others. Your assistant suggests you use the care ethic to emotionally connect to the life story of the applicants involved in order to determine the “short list.” You are unsure. In a minimum of 250 words, present an opinion on whether you should take life experiences into consideration when filling this position.

a. zero inflation and moderate long-term interest rates; the government budget deficit or surplus

b. maximum economic growth and zero inflation; the federal funds rate

c. maximum aggregate demand and aggregate supply; government expenditure on goods

d. maximum employment and stable prices; the federal funds rate.

Q.2; One of the major reasons why the United States exports jet airplanes is:

a. the U.S. can sell jet airplanes at a higher price than other nations.

b. the U.S. owns more physical endowments, such as mineral resources, than other countries.

c. foreign nations have a higher opportunity cost of production of jet airplanes.

d. the U.S. is able to outproduce other countries in jet airplanes.

Chapter 15 HDEV really shifts the focus to physical development and highlights many important changes that impact our perception of us and how we interact with the world around us. Here, I'd like to consider how psychology and health interact. What harm can stress potentially do to the immune system of the middle-aged adult? What types environmental and social factors contribute to an increase in stress during this period in life? What do you believe to be the state of health and physical well-being of middle aged adults in the United States? Please make sure to provide support for your perspective. How does the text suggest that people can maintain good health during middle adulthood? What are some of the major factors that seem to contribute to poor health during this stage in life?

1 a) Will IMPACT really have any impact on how skilled nursing is provided in the United States? IMPACT applies to post-acute care organizations that participate in Medicare, so you will need to identify what types of care and facilities the federal law applies to.

1 b) Assume you are the administrator for a group practice. How would you determine if MIPS or APM is best for the physician practice? Thinking about this course, are there specific financial analysis tools that can assist in making this decision, and if so which ones would you use and why?

1 c) MACRA has now been in existence since 2017 and impacts how physicians are paid under Medicare, whether they are independent of a healthcare system or part of a system. It does replace the SGR that was extremely unpopular amongst physicians. Is MACRA successful in encouraging both quality outcomes and cost effectiveness?

In product design for human use and recommended guideline for the product’s human use, it is important to consider the weights of people so that airplanes or elevators aren’t overloaded. Based on data from the National Health Survey, the weight of adults in the United States has a mean of 181 pound (the average of 195.5 for males and 166.2 for females, assuming, arbitrarily, equal male and female population) with a standard deviation of 30 pounds. An airplane is designed to have a human carrying maximum-capacity 18,500 pounds. An Airline adopts the operation procedure of maximum passenger number (n), based on the concept of the probability of a randomly selected n passengers exceeding the maximum-capacity to be less than 0.01 (i.e., 1%). a) [3 pts] Determine n b) b) [2 pts] What will be the value of n if the probability of exceeding the maximum-capacity is no more than 0.001 (i.e., 0.1%)?
