True or false?
1. If the expected profit is lower with the new technology, the farmer will never have an incentive to adopt the new technology.
2. The end of the bracero program devastated the processing tomato industry, where many bracero workers were employed.
3. The U.S. government ended the Bracero Program in 1964 partly because unions argued that Bracero workers competed with U.S.-born workers.
4. Economic research shows that farm workers in the United States are becoming less willing to engage in follow-the-crop migration
5. In an agricultural household model with perfect markets, an increase in the price of the crop will increase the amount of family labor used to produce the crop.
6. An increase in the price of the crop makes all agricultural households better off.

1. the purpose of economic evaluation of medicines and technologies for health is to inform appropriate choices that gives value for money. Explain what is meant by this statement.
2. a) to be able to do a robust economic evaluation assessment of a health technology, the analyst should be able to identify all cost elements involved. List the different types of cost that may be involved totally in the assessment and explain what each means, using everyday examples.
b) Which of the cost elements mentioned above in (a) is difficult to measure and why?
3. a)List at least 3 types of humanistic outcome measures that are used in Health Technology Assessment.
b) Discuss two of the listed outcome measures that may be applied for robust economic evaluation analysis of Technologies for Health.

Virtualization technology has dramatically changed the landscape of how servers are designed, secured, and administered. The hypervisor market has become commoditized due to core feature overlap among most hypervisor vendors. While there are many hypervisor options in the market today–the Big 3 are VMware (ESXi), Microsoft (Hyper-V), and Citrix (XenServer). On the basis of your understanding of Virtualization technology , create a report in a Microsoft Word document addressing the following: Compare and contrast the Big 3 hypervisor options available in the market on the basis of factors such as:
Features Licensing costs Security Support Make a recommendation to Zeus Books on which hypervisor they should use to create a high availability web server environment.

What is the primary difference between a general operating line of credit and a permanent working capital line of credit?
General operating lines of credit frequently have a substantial principal balance | ||
Permanent working capital lines of credit frequently have a substantial principal balance outstanding | ||
Permanent working capital lines of credit generally are closed-end or non-revolving | ||
General operating lines of credit usually fund rapidly growing businesses |

Lead (Pb) concentrations were measured in the leachate from six sampling wells surrounding an active landfill. The landfill was closed and PB concentrations were measured one year later from the same wells. The results appear in the table below. Test the null hypothesis of no change in Pb concentration at the 5% level of significance.

A 24 cm long wire with a linear density of 31.5 g/m passes across the open end of a 102 cm long open-closed tube of air. If the wire, which is fixed at both ends, vibrates at its fundamental frequency, the sound wave it generates excites the second vibrational mode of the tube of air. Assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s. What is the fundamental frequency of the wire? What is the wave speed on the wire?

Write the differences between displacement current and conducting current by properly drawing the figures. We know: It is possible to express the conducting current by the surface integration of conducting current density.
Question: When to use the closed surface integral and when to use the open surface integral for such calculations of conducting current?
Hints: Conducting current can be considered as a type of flux. From the point of view of flux calculation, try to explain the matter by drawing proper figures.

A quantity of 2.00 g of calcium carbide is reacted at 500.0 K with excess of liquid water in a closed container fitted with a piston. The only two products of this reaction are ethyne and calcium hydroxide calculate the work done by the production of C2H2 gas against an external pressure assume the reaction proceeds until the pressure of the gas produced equals the external pressure (atmospheric pressure). Assume that the reaction proceeds until the pressure of the gas produced equals the external pressure.
