A process called leveling the fields is used to cut the land flat using a laser. Another way humans use water is through industrial use. Industrial purposes use around 6% of water use. Primary metal industries use the most industrial usage of water which is around 254.26 million gallons per day. Some water used for industries and irrigation is obtained through the reservoirs created by dams.
During the period of 1860-1900, there were many factors that helped to promote America’s industrial growth. With railroads increasing commerce, a large supply of necessary resources: coal, iron, and water, help from the supportive government, and a large wave of new immigrants it really was irresistible to not turn into a much more mechanized country. Once the 20th century was upon us, America was one of the greatest industrial nations in the World. Industrialization is what has led this country to be as successful as we know it today. As shown in Document 2, in 1860, there were less than 40,000 miles of railroad track.
The Population Growth/Urbanization is a huge factor in China’s water scarcity. China’s growth grew by 36 Million people and so then more people are in need water than 2 decades ago.(Doc B) When people urbanize to the city they become wealthier, making them want to eat meat, and get drunk so the beer they drink uses a lot of water making the scarcity even bigger.(Doc B) Also the water use by sector is also making a lot of the water get used up by the people moving into the cities.(Doc C) This problem helps explain China’s water shortage because It causes more and more people to suffer while the rich drink the poor don’t and the people suffer because they use the water for energy. It also helps the shortage because the growing population needs more water now then 2 decades ago.
1. Explain how observed teleconnection patterns can help in the preparation of a seasonal weather forecast. Teleconnections are interactions, for example a warmer or cooler tropical Pacific will likely influence rainfall amounts in California, and these interactions between widely spread regions are identified between statistical correlations (Ahrens 2015, p.270). Forecasters are aided by these interactions to produce statistical correlations between widely separated regions of North America. 2.
So far, we focused on the advantages that LEDCs face along with the advancement of globalization, however, the advancement of TNCs in LEDCs is not always advantageous and is actually disadvantageous mainly in economic and social aspects. We must realize that if we focus solely on our earnings, we are overlooking other dimensions of developing countries that may be in a disadvantageous situation. For example, profits earned by TNCs are often brought back to the company's home country, causing severe leakage of capital in the LEDC. Despite the high potential LEDCs have for further development, TNCs have derived huge benefits by outsourcing their
For instance, a map shown on page 9 demonstrates how much clean water is used each day in different continents. Such as America which uses the highest amount of water at 352 liters, while Africa uses the lowest amount of water at only 15 liters. These text features relate back to the main point of clean water.
A culturally diverse society provides a positive and negative effect on globalization. As culture spreads, it provides people with unfamiliar ideas, goods, and traditions the would not originally know of. These ideas, goods, and traditions can provide an understanding on other groups of people as well as creating feud between the groups of people. “The integration of societies and has provided millions of people with new opportunities, it may also bring with it a loss of uniqueness of local culture, which in turn can lead to loss of identity, exclusion and even conflict,” (Document A). Even when people learn of new culture.
From January 2011 to July 2013, 112 pacemakers were implanted at the ICL, Hospital Queen Elizabeth II. The longer duration of the pacemaker implantation or the hardware change procedure took was associated with an increased risk of pacemaker infection. The choices of antibiotic before and after the procedure will also play role in protecting the patient from infection. In addition, we found that the use of cefazolin after implantation procedure may reduce the risk of getting infected compared to the other antibiotics. Contrarily, age, preoperative antibiotic choices and gender were not associated with a risk of pacemaker infection.
In the article, “Op-Ed In the water crisis, it’s time to move beyond the farms vs. cities mindset,” Nathanael Johnson informs the public that some individuals do not condone the amount of water that farmers consume, as opposed to the people who live in the city. People believe that irrigation is making farmers rich and the vast percentage of water that is being distributed to the farmers is aiding them. However, farmers need the water much more than the people living in the city because all of the farmer’s living is based on farming. For instance, whenever there is a drought, then farmers are the first to pay the price; people living in urban areas do not really understand the important of water, therefore, water is taken for granted. Unfortunately,
“The question of water ownership has been debated since at least ancient Rome, and today, some 2,000 years later, government, big business and Earth’s 7.125 billion (Google) and growing inhabitants are no closer to a consensus on who owns the tiny percentage of drinkable water on the planet”(ECORI). According to the Journal of Water Resources Management, private ownership of water utilities has been growing worldwide at alarming rates. “Most Americans are served by publicly owned water and sewer utilities. Eleven percent of Americans receive water from private (so-called "investor-owned") utilities. In rural areas, cooperatives often provide drinking water.
The water issue in California is growing every day, especially in a time of drought. However, we are thinking about the water usage in California all wrong. As stated in Michael Hiltzik ‘s article, “The Wrong Way to Think about California Water”. California 's revenue is greatly dependent on agriculture, which is the biggest water consumer. Although, this is all the media focuses on as the cause of water depletion, especially California 's almond crops.
The water in Canada is definitely not equally distributed. "The majority of Canada 's population lives in the southern part of the country, but 60% of the country 's renewable water drains to the north, so access to water resources are limited." In fact, some areas of Canada are already experiencing some degree of water stress. More than one in every six people in the world is water stressed, meaning that they do not have access to potable water. Water is a precious and a sacred resource and we need to protect its quantity and quality.
Apple Apple is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Cupertino, California that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and online services. The two Steve’s - Jobs and Wozniak - may have been Apple's most visible founders, but were it not for their friend Ronald Wayne there might be no iPhone, iPad or iMac today. Jobs convinced him to take 10% of the company stock and act as an arbiter should he and Woz come to blows, but Wayne backed out 12 days later, selling for just $500 a holding that would have been worth $72bn 40 years later. (Rawlinson, 2017) Apple has a huge net worth of around US$900 Billion.

COST STRUCTURE OF SAMSUNG Low cost structure of Samsung and high responsiveness to economic events has made Samsung more competitive. For example, initially Samsung focused more on volume and domination on market rather than increasing profitability. However, in 1990s, during the Asian financial crisis, Samsung cut costs and reemphasized product quality and manufacturing flexibility, which allowed its consumer electronics move from project phase to store shelves within next six months. Under the resources-based view of strategic management, effective resources available to a firm, as well as the competency of a firm is responsible in affecting competitive advantage received by a firm.
