Document Summary

However, in italy and jordan, population of 5000+, and japan: settlements of. 50,000: some of the world"s largest cities 2010: tokyo, japan. Chinese cities: china"s urban population soared from 70 million in 1952 to 540 million in 2004, every 8. 5 million peasants move to cities, britain has five urban centres of more than a million people. Remains hard to define" - globalization"s dirty little secret. " (bunting & rutherford. Political globalization: the "hollowing out" of nation-states, rise of supranational governing bodies, growing political power of cities, "post-national citizenship" and the formation of transnational elites ("flexible citizens", supranational trade agreements and de-democratization", different mobility of capital and labour. Makes transport of goods faster , cheaper, and easier. Cultural globalization: rise of new media and communications technologies, movement of ideas, styles, music, film across borders, death of distance and time-space compression, decline of national identity and rise of regional, religous, linguistic, and other kinds of affinities.

Estimate the number of people in the world who are suffering from the common cold on any given day. (Answers may vary. Remember that a person suffers from a cold for about a week, and assume that the average person catches a cold twice a year.) (The population of Earth is approximately 6 billion.)

In February 2002, a total of 60.7 billion kW · h of electrical energy was generated by nuclear power plants in the United States. At that time, the population of the United States was about 287 million people. If the average American has a mass of 60 kg, and if 35.13% of the entire energy output of all nuclear power plants was diverted to supplying energy for a single giant elevator, estimate the height h to which the entire population of the country could be lifted by the elevator. In your calculations, assume also that g is constant over the entire height h. answer in Meters

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).
