Answer to question 1: As given, it is well-known that Detroit has gone through decades of economic and social decay and has one of the highest crime rates in the country. Meanwhile, Boston is home to some of the top universities and medical schools in the world and has one of the lowest crime rates. In order to investigate the above information, three socio economic characteristics have been chosen here. They are median household income, per capita income and individual below poverty line. When
of key external and internal factors (identified in stage 1). The left column of a QSPM lists factors obtained directly from the EFE matrix and IFE matrix. The top row consists of feasible alternative strategies (provided in stage 2) derived from the SWOT analysis, SPACE matrix, BCG matrix, and IE matrix. The first column with numbers includes weights assigned to factors. How to Construct a QSPM Step 1 Make a list of the firm’s key external opportunities/threats and internal strengths/weaknesses
tested at the level of individual neurons.^2 To illustrate this, Moe et al. analyzed the data from one set of experiments using multiple naïve (i.e. non-correlated) and correlated models and compared the results in detail. The study used for Moen et al.’s analyses examined the effects of fatty acid delivery and Pten knockdown on the soma size of neurons in murine brains. Fatty acid delivery was randomized at the mouse level into three groups (fatty acid, vehicle control, and no treatment), while Pten
The death penalty is the sentence of execution for murder and other capital crimes. Which are punishable by death? The death penalty is used only in 38 states (www.deathpenalty.org). The state of California is home to the nation's most clogged death row, housing 641 men and women pending lethal injection. Having to house all these criminals is costing tax payers millions of dollars. Capital punishment in California, as in every other state, is more expensive than a life imprisonment sentence without
Capital punishment has been used as a penalty for criminal behavior for many years; however, its’ utilization has not been constant throughout American history. The basis of capital punishment has undergone a number of changes and improvements in the past, essentially alternating in and out of public favor. At its’ start, capital punishment was ultimately used as a means of torture. Criminals were bludgeoned, boiled, burned, torn apart by animals, etc.—it was an ultimate torture method. Throughout

1. Title: “Does the number of visits of mobilizations influence the MCID* on pain improvement in patients with chronic idiopathic neck pain- A cross-sectional study?” *MCID= Minimum clinically important difference 2. The specific aim of this cross-sectional study is to reduce cost and improve pain outcome in patients with chronic idiopathic neck pain (CINP). To do this, the study will examine whether the number of visits of mobilization (hypothesis) affect the MCID on pain reduction for patients
slice to adjacent slices. The CTDI does not quantify how much radiation a specific patient receives, but simply indicates the radiation output from the CT scanner (Tack, Kalra and Gevenois 2012). Dose length product (DLP) The DLP represents the total amount of radiation used to perform a complete acquisition of slices. It is quantified by the calculating product of the CTDI and scan length. The DLP is independent of any patient factors, given the scan length and scan parameters remain the same
