Document Summary

However, there are many human settlements successfully located on environmentally disadvantaged sites. Cultural, political, economic reasons singapore, trade hub, resources brought in. Historical context of this work food increases arithmetically, population increases exponentially. Do we have enough food to feed everyone? yes, but not always the right kind of food, cows question of distribution. Who causes environmental degradation? per cspita core countries create much more, waste and depletion. Whose fertility should be fear mongering, forced abortion and infanticide, forced sterilization of limited? jspivey. wikispaces. com mentally ill people. Inverting the notion of carrying capacity how much land does each person need. Output: a measure of land area per person. Increased technology and push for economic growth; increased consumption lavish lifestyle. Better scientific information about environmental issues so we know we are fucking up. Humanity is ordered, civilized, safe, and thinking/conscientious/with free will culturally specific, and historically specific. Western schools of thought, are not held through out the world.

During the early stages of designing a modern electric generating plant, you are in charge of the team of environmental engineers. The new plant is to be located on the ocean and will use ocean water for cooling. The plant will produce electrical power at the rate of 1.02 GW. Because the plant will have an efficiency of one-third (typical of most modern plants), heat will be released to the cooling water at the rate of 2.04 GW. If environmental codes require that only water with a temperature increase of 13°F or less can be returned to the ocean, estimate the flow rate of cooling water through the plant.

The fish population P(t) in a lake is suddenly attacked by adisease that render the fish unable to reproduce. Assuming that thedeath rate of the fish is inversely proportional to the square rootof the fish population (i.e. k1 = Î²/â(P) where Î² is aconstant), perform the following tasks:

1. Write a differential equation that models the population offish as a function of time. Assume that the fish are infected bythe disease at t = 0 and define your constants.

2. Solve the differential equation with the initial condition thatP(0) = P0.

3. What is the half-life of the fish population?

4. If there were 900 fish initially, and 441 are left after 6weeks, how long does it take for all the fish to die? Assume thatthe disease was caused by radioactive waste dumped in the lake. Itis discovered that another population of fish, S(t), spontaneouslymutate into the original fish at a rate of k2 (per week) and neverdie. The population S(t) are born at a rate k3.

5. Draw a diagram that describes the life cycle of these twofish populations including your rate constants.

6. Write the differential equations describing the populationsof P(t) and S(t).
