question‚ “Do you think that girls under 16 should be banned from fashion modeling?” In some countries the ban has already taken place because of the many health concerns related‚ I think the ban‚ in many ways‚ appropriate. These young girls are not portrayed to be the young girls they are‚ instead they are being made to look like older adult women. In 2007 Maddison Gabriel‚ a 12-year-old Queensland schoolgirl‚ was selected to be the face of Gold Coasts Fashion Week. The issue in sparked a lot

to an almost infinite number of influences. One of the tricks to developing useful simulations is to determine which are the most important factors that affect the goals of the simulation. In addition to imitating processes to see how they behave under different conditions‚ simulations are also used to test new theories. After creating a theory of causal relationships‚ the theorist can codify the relationships in the form of a computer program. If the program then behaves in the same way as the real

Molecular modelling is the general term used to describe the use of computers to construct molecules and perform a variety of calculations on these molecules in order to predict their chemical characteristics and behaviour. The term molecular modelling is often used synonymously with the term computational chemistry. Computational chemistry is a broader term‚ referring to any use of computers to study chemical systems. Some chemists use the term computational quantum chemistry to refer to the use

The lives of tubes has approximately uniform distribution from 1000 to 2000 hours. The current maintenance practice is to replace a tube when it fails. Equipments has to be shut down for 1 hr for replacing a tube‚ the cost of one tube is sh 100‚ while the shut down time cost sh 200 per hour. Simulate the system

E.g men/woman P(A or B)= P(A)+P(B) Non mutually exclusive- shared characteristic P (A or B)= P(A) + P(B) – P(B+A) Independent events – outcome is known to have no effect on another outcome P (A+B) = P(A) X P(B) Dependant events- outcome of one event affects the probability of the outcome of the other.

I will first show the data in a table form copied from the assignment sheet. Then I will use the data to construct a scatter graph of time against height‚ then I will develop a function that models the behavior noted in the graph analytically‚ and describe any variables‚ parameters or constraints for the

The mayor of your city is trying to decide if a 7:00 p.m. curfew for those under age 16 is needed. What do you think? What are the advantages/disadvantages? Youth curfews are widely used in the USA to keep children off the street at late. How many people you know‚ who go outside after 7 pm? A lot of people go outside after 7 pm. The curfew is a great law for under age 16 years old children. A 7 pm curfew is a wonderful idea. The main reason of curfews is usually lowering the crime percent. Curfews
