Document Summary

Death and burial in the bay of naples. People are buried outside the walls of the city. It is actually illegal to bury people inside the city walls. Trajan was the only person to be buried in the city of roman: trajan"s. There are burials outside of all of the gates. Interacting with the dead: the tombs involved spaces for feasting. There were certain days set aside for remembering the dead including the anniversary of the person"s death. There is no standardized way to reference the tombs: some people refer to the tombs as south and others as west. Not all of them are single tombs: some of them are family tombs. Schola tombs or exedra tombs: aulus veius m. f. (hgw02, this is a tomb that is in the shape of a half circle. There is a bench that ends with highly decorative stonework.

Summer Island in Great Lake is located about a half-mile offshore from Bay City. Currently, people live on the Island only during the six-month period from May through October when the lake is free of ice. Bay City is considering constructing an ice road that would link the Summer Island to Bay City during the four months from December through March. Bay City estimates that the cost of building temporary ramps in November, ploughing and patrolling the ice during its use, and removing the ramps at the end of March would cost $100,000. The mayor would like your advice about how to think about the benefits of the project. Specifically, she would like you to address the following questions

a. The ice bridge would open up Summer Island to cross-country skiing. Currently, the nearest cross-country skiing trails to Bay City require a one-hour drive. Provide a conceptual sketch of the benefits of making the cross-country skiing available. What information would you need to measure the benefits of the increased accessibility of cross-country skiing?

In this problem you will estimate the heat lost by a typical house, assuming that the temperature inside is Tin = 20°C and the temperature outside is Tout = 0°C. The walls and uppermost ceiling of a typical house are supported by 2 × 6-inch wooden beams (kwood insulation (kins = 0.04 W/(mK)) in between. The true depth of the beams is actually 5.625 inches, but we will take the thickness of the walls and ceiling to be Lwall interior and exterior covering. Assume that the house is a cube of length L = 9.0 m on a side. Assume that the roof has very high conductivity, so that the air in the attic is at the same temperature as the outside air. Ignore heat loss through the ground. The effective thermal conductivity of the wall (or ceiling) keff , is the area-weighted average of the thermal conductivities of the wooden beams and the fiberglass insulation that make up each of them. Allowing for the fact that the 2 x 6 beams 0.12 W/(mK)) with fiberglass 18 cm to allow for the are actually only 1.625 inches wide and are spaced 16 inches center to center, a calculation of this conductivity for the walls yields keff that the ceiling also has the same value of keff - 0.048 W/(mK). How much heat per second (H = Q/ΔT) is lost from the house due to heat conduction?

19. Which of the following is the best explanation for self-agglomeration? A. Network effects in the city economy mean that expanding industries are attracted to the city. The associated job opportunities attract workers to the city. This means that city house prices rise, and this reduces the incentive for additional people to move from the countryside. At the same time, the per capita productivity of the rural land base rises as people leave for the city, and this boosts the incomes of people living in the countryside. These two mechanisms together mean the city and rural populations are self-stabilizing. B. Network effects mean that when one firm in the city shuts down in response to trade liberalization, it reduces the productivity of all remaining firms. This means that city wages fall and the city becomes less attractive to workers. Many workers then leave the city and this means that the provision of public amenities and infrastructure declines because the per capita cost of provision rises. This in turn makes the city less productive for firms and less attractive to workers as a place to live, and the city descends into a self-reinforcing decline. Network effects in the city economy mean that industry is attracted to the city. The associated job opportunities attract workers to the city. This means that more public amenities and infrastructure can be built in the city because the per capita cost of provision falls. This boosts the productivity of industry, and the associated boost in job opportunities attracts even more people to the city. D. An ancient ritual whereby people punish themselves for the sins of their ancestors.
