QUESTION: Suppose the government borrows $5 billion more next year than this year (for example, theymove from a balanced budget to a $5 billion deficit or from a $10 billion deficit to a $15 billiondeficit).

a. Use a supply-and-demand diagram to analyse this policy. Does the interest rate rise or fall?

b. What happens to investment? To private saving? To public saving? To national saving?Compare the size of the equilibrium changes with the $5 billion of extra borrowing. Is it thesame, less, or more? Carefully explain why and distinguish the various movements in thediagram.

c. How do the elasticities of supply of and demand for loanable funds (i.e. the slopes of thecurves) affect the size of these changes? (Hint: See chapter 5 to review the definition ofelasticity.)

d. Suppose households believe that greater government saving today implies lower future taxessince there will be little government debt. What does this belief do to private saving and thesupply of loanable funds today? Does it increase or decrease the effects you discussed inparts (a) and (b)?

A nurse on the research and practice committee is preparing for an update on evidence-based practice (EBP). There is a need to address the potential changes with several EBP policies. This presentation will examine the EBP policies as well as reasoning and rationale as to why changes may be needed.

Choose an EBP topic and two scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles

Compare the difference between theory, research, and practice in nursing

Choose a theory that best correlates with the EBP practice change that you would like to make

Compare and contrast the quantitative and qualitative research article that you choose for the EBP topic

What technology did you use to locate the articles? Databases? Search terms?

What are the philosophical, theoretical, and methodological perspectives in the research articles that were chosen?

What are the ethical and scientific integrity issues related to the research?

How did your nursing knowledge advance through the utilization of research?

The peer reviewed topic is on hand washing you can choose two scholarly journals on hand washing, i will just need the references

What is the multivalue, multicolumn problem? What is a multivalued dependency, and how is it resolved by 4NF? To answer these questions, alter exercise 2.40 to allow students to have multiple majors. In this case, the relational structure is: STUDENT (StudentNumber, StudentName, SiblingName, Major) A. Define and discuss the multivalue, multicolumn problem. Define and discuss a multivalued dependency. B. Show an example of this relation for two students, one of whom has three siblings and the other of whom has one sibling. Assume that each student has a single major. C. Show the data changes necessary to add a second major for only the first student. D. Based on your answer to part C, show the data changes necessary to add a second major for the second student. E. Explain the differences in your answers to parts C and D. Comment on the desirability of this situation. F. Define and discuss 4NF, and how 4NF can be used to allow a set of wellformed relations. . Divide this relation into a set of well-formed

The following diagram shows a distillation process. Distillation is a technique used in chemistry to purify water from dissolved impurities, mainly salts.



The following diagram shows a distillation process. Distillation is a technique used in chemistry to purify water from dissolved impurities, mainly salts. An example is the conversion of sea water to fresh water as is done in many countries including Oman. Temperature plays an important role in distillation process and the various steps involved are as follows. 

Step1: Heating impure water to produce steam in the distillation flask. 

Step2: Steam passes through to the Liebig condenser where it is condensed. 

Step3: Condensed water is collected in the receiving flask as pure water also called distilled water.

a) Name the process that is taking place in step1 where water changes to steam. 

b) Name the process that is taking place in step2 where steam changes to water again. 

c) Name whether step1 is exothermic or endothermic? Justify your answer. 

d) Name whether step2 is exothermic or endothermic? Justify your answer. The end-product of distillation is an element, compound or mixture? Justify your answer.

1. Find a picture on the internet that shows the underlying structure of an aircraft wing and discuss how it is similar to the box beam concept.

2.The box beam concept handles bending and torsional loads. Consider and discuss what structural elements we have explored so far in this course that address these loads. Hint: there are two (one for bending and one for torsion). Also, please include the following in the discussion.

Depending on the air vehicle performance requirements a wing’s thickness is different. For example, a lower speed vehicle such as a large transport aircraft (e.g., B-747) will have a thicker wing compared to a fighter aircraft. The reasons for this are beyond the scope of this course.

Consider the I-beam concept we have been exploring in this module. Discuss what happens as the wing thickness changes. For example, what is the variable in the bending equation that is effected as the wing thickness changes?

How could the allowable stress level be managed for the different wing structures (i.e., what happens to the skin thickness, which is the upper part of the box beam)?
