Discuss water conservation and water supply

/in /by
Discuss water conservation and water supply by responding to the questions below.

Water Conservation  Water conservation is key to reaching a sustainable water balance. Please respond to these questions:

  • What is your perspective on the availability and use of water in your area? (“Your perspective on water differs whether you live near the Great Lakes, in the arid west, or by the coast.”(McCarthy, 2009)
  • Outline a brief water conservation plan for your own daily use. How will these changes affect your personal life? What impact will it have on your local water supply?
Water Supply In order to supply water to humans certain technologies must be utilized. Pick one of the following water supply solutions that you think should be pursued and describe the pros and cons of the solution and why you chose it. Use reference sources in your research and discussion.
  • Reclaimed/ Recycled Water

Bilateral Mammogram

/in /by

Bilateral Mammogram:

There were four 1.0,-1.5 cm masses diffusely distributed throughout the Left Breast and three 0.5-1.0 cm masses in the right breast. There were also a 2.3 cmx 2.9 cmx3.2 cm mass with irregular boarders within the upper outer quadrant of the right breast. Associated with the suspicious lesion was diffuse skin thickening and an enlarged axillary lymph node of approximately 2.0 cm in greatest dimensions. Six Y- shaped microcalcifications that extended toward the nipple were seen. There is some evidence of extension of the abnormal mass into pectoral muscle.

 

Ultrasound Right Breast and right axilla:

 

Three 0.5-1.0 cm cystic lesion diffusely distributed throughout the breast

Solid-appearing, non-cystic mass consistent with cancer in upper outer quadrant

Ill-defined mass with abnormal vascularity

The mass measures 2.3cm x 2.9 cm x 3.2 cm

There is some suggestion of skin thickening and mild tissue edema

 

Core-Needle Biopsy:

 

Pathology was consistent with that of infiltrating breast carcinoma

Tubules were observed in 80-90% of the sample

Approximately 3-5 cell divisions were seen per high-power field and there was only a mild degree of pleomorphism

The tumor was positive for both estrogen and progesterone receptors

 

 

Ultrasound of Liver:

 

NO masses suggesting metastasis were observed

A 0.5 cmx 0.6cm faintly visible region was observed to the left side and slightly cephaled of the ligamentum venosum.The appearance of the lesion is more consistent with that of a hemangioma than with a metastasis nodule

 

Bone Scan:

 

No definite evidence of bone metastasis.

Positive for mild degenerative changes of lumbar spine

 

 

Clinical Course:

 

The breast surgeon provided 2 treatment options.

 

1. Lumpectomy with sentinel node biopsy, followed by breast irradiation.

2. Modified radical mastectomy with sentinel node biopsy without or with reconstruction.

 

 

The patient elected breast conservation and sentinel lymph node biopsy with radiation therapy. The sentinel nodes were negative and all surgical margins were clear. The patient was treated with radiation.

 

 

QUESTION:

1.   Based on the clinical information available to this point to which GRADE has this patient‘s cancer progressed?

  2.   Based on the GRADE of the cancerous mass, what is this patients expected 10-year survival rate?

      3.   Identify the stage to which this patients breast cancer has advanced.

 

 

NOTE:

Please write 200 words for each question. I have total of 3 questions.

Needs minimum 3 references

 

 

 

 

Thanks

Venezuela Co. is building a new hockey arena at a cost of $2,500,000. It received a downpayment of $500,000 from local businesses to support the project, and now needs to borrow $2,000,000 to complete the project. It therefore decides to issue $2,000,000 of 10.5%, 10-year bonds. These bonds were issued on January 1, 2013, and pay interest annually on each January 1. The bonds yield 10%. Venezuela paid $50,000 in bond issue costs related to the bond sale.

Instructions

(a) Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds and the related bond issue costs incurred on January 1, 2013.
(b) Prepare a bond amortization schedule up to and including January 1, 2017, using the effective-interest method.

 

(c) Assume that on July 1, 2016, Venezuela Co. redeems half of the bonds at a cost of $1,065,000 plus accrued interest. Prepare the journal entry to record this redemption.

How to Formulate a Hypothesis

Introduction to Science

Carefully review the Grading Rubric before beginning the assignment.

Before you begin this assignment, watch the How to Formulate a Hypothesis video. Then, read “Lab 1: Introduction to Science.” This lab includes several critical thinking activities that focus on the scientific method, lab reporting, and data collection and management. Once you have completed the reading, utilize this information to answer all of the Exercise 1 questions on the Week One Lab Reporting Form. Make sure to complete all of the following items before submission:

  1. Read through the introductory material and watch the How to Formulate a Hypothesis video.
  2. Answer Exercise 1 Questions 1 through 8 in complete sentences on the Week One Lab Reporting Form.

Submit the Week One Lab Reporting Form via Waypoint. The document does not need to include a title page or other APA formatting; however, any outside sources utilized in your answers must be referenced in proper APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Exercise 1: The Scientific Method

image2.jpgDissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid, such as water. Since many living organisms require oxygen to survive, it is a necessary component of water systems such as streams, lakes, and rivers in order to support aquatic life. The dissolved oxygen is measured in units of parts per million (ppm). Examine the data in Table 4 showing the amount of dissolved oxygen present and the number of fish observed in the body of water the sample was taken from and then answer the questions below.

QUESTIONS

1. Make an observation – Based on the data in Table 4, describe the relationship between dissolved oxygen content and fish populations in the body of water. Discuss the pattern observed in the data set.

Answer =

2. Do background research – Utilizing at least one scholarly source, describe how variations in dissolved oxygen content in a body of water can affect fish populations.

Answer =

3. Construct a hypothesis – Based on your observation in Question 1 and your background research in Question 2, develop a hypothesis statement that addresses the relationship between dissolved oxygen in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water.

Answer =

4. Test with an experiment – Describe an experiment that would allow you to test your hypothesis from question 3. This description must provide ample detail to show knowledge of experimental design and should list the independent and dependent variables, as well as your control.

Answer =

5. Analyze results – Assume that your experiment produces results identical to those seen in Table 4, what type of graph would be appropriate for displaying the data and why?

Answer =

6. Analyze results – Graph the data from Table 4 and describe what your graph looks like (you do not have to submit a picture of the actual graph).

Answer =

7. Draw conclusions – Interpret the data from the graph made in Question 6. What conclusions can you make based on the results of this graph?

Answer =

8. Draw conclusions – Assuming that your experiment produced results identical to those seen in Table 4, would you reject or accept the hypothesis that you produced in question 3? Explain how you determined this.

Answer =
