slow down the excessive population growth and safeguarding the ecological balance. Some readers may question the importance of ecological balance‚ but it is important to note that ecological balance creates a sustainable environment. It provides a capacity for the earth’s natural and human systems to survive‚ flourish and adapt to change. Whereas an unbalanced ecology will cause a country to be unstable and unsustainable which can cause total ecological collapse. So how does population growth cause

PRELIMINARY REPORT # 2 OVERPOPULATION IN THE PHILIPPINES I. Identify the problem Overpopulation is a generally undesirable condition where an organism ’s numbers exceed the carrying capacity of its habitat. Overpopulation can result from an increase in births‚ a decline in mortality rates‚ an increase in immigration‚ or an unsustainable biome and depletion of resources. (Wikipedia) II. Why is it a problem? It’s a problem because the people are suffering and forced to live in

Because geothermal power does not rely on variable sources of energy‚ unlike‚ for example‚ wind or solar‚ its capacity factor can be quite large – up to 96% has been demonstrated.[26] Except for producing electricity‚ second‚ the geothermal energy can also be used in producing heat. 2.

Disadvantages of Windmills Wind energy is one of the many renewable energy resources that provide cheap and efficient energy. Wind energy comes from wind turbines‚ similar to windmills‚ which use the wind to make electricity. This renewable energy resource is very affordable‚ clean‚ and it can never run out because the wind comes from the sun. But according to Selling the Wind by Michelle Nijhuis‚ “It’s well known that wind turbines kill both birds and bats‚ though exactly how often and why these

Introduction Overpopulation is a condition where organisms such as number of human beings living in a confine space and using its resources far exceed the carrying capacity of its environment needed for survival. It is not simply a function of the size or density of the population but include factors such as the available sustainable and non sustainable resources that made life pleasant and worthwhile.1 Many sources‚ books and articles say that people are the

Littlefield Labs 1 Capacity Management at Littlefield Labs I. Introduction There are 3 stations in the game called sample preparing‚ testing‚ and centrifuging‚ while there are 4 steps to process the jobs. Before the game started‚ we tried to familiarize with the process of the laboratories and calculating the costs (both fixed and variable costs) based on the information on the sheet given. We did not intend to buy any machines too early‚ as we wanted to see the demand fluctuation and the

PCM CODING/COMPANDING Q1. a)i) The process of quantisation introduces an error or noise component into the quantised signal. Derive an equation for the mean-squared quantisation error in terms of the quantization interval ‘a’. ii) Hence show that the peak signal-to-quantisation noise ratio (SQNR) is SQNR = ( 6n + 4.8 ) dB Where 2 n is the number of quantisation levels. b)i) Linear quantisation is used prior to binary PCM encoding of an analogue baseband signal which has
