restoring phosphorous balance in the Great lakes region Background In the 1960s there emerged an issue regarding the quality of water in the great lakes region in particular lake Erie was perceived as a dying lake since the rapid growth of algae in the lake. The fast growth of algae is known as cultural eutrophication, and it is brought about by the excessive input of phosphorus in the water. By the late 1960s, both the countries within the great lakes area, namely the United States and Canada, came into an agreement that the limitation of phosphorous inputs into the great lakes and Lake Erie, in particular, was key to stopping and controlling the excessive growth of algae in the lake. The two nations also decided that the control of phosphorus deposits in the lake required a coordinated approach to tackle the issue. This call for action was the main focus of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement held in 1972. Due to the combined efforts to limit the levels of phosphorus in the lakes, the phosphorous levels gradually declined in…
The ED environment The ED environment can, at times become very intense, especially during emergency periods. Such intensity could bring about the strain of both human and hospital resources when it comes to the provision of healthcare services to patients. It might bring about various legal and ethical issues surrounding aspects such as to conduct or even medical procedures being administered to patients by both the emergency department nurses and physicians.

However, if it is seen that a doctor performs any kind of treatment procedure on any patient, who for an instant did not consent to such, then…
Apriori algorithm Apriori algorithm is a group of set rules that guide data mining. The data is used in predicting future outcomes in the business. Apriori algorithm identifies the most frequent itemset and their relevant regulations attached to them. It is preferably used in a database that contains large numbers of transaction records to confirm the procedures followed by both customer and sellers. Apriori algorithm is advantageous in market basket analysis and allows the customer to purchase their required items with ease hence leading to increased sales of the market. It is also used in the medical sector to detect the adverse reaction of a drug on the patient’s body. Apriori algorithm is also used in organizations to learn and explore relations among variables in an extensive database of the firms. It helps in selecting the interesting rules from multiple rules that may arise from a small database through comparison of constraints on various measures of interest and significance. Apriori algorithm is perceived as part of a frequent itemset mining since it uses the concept of frequent itemset to generate…

Local Environment: Fracking Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is a technique of natural gas and oil extraction. The process entails injecting water, sand, and chemicals into the underneath rock formation at high pressure. The high pressure results in a network of fractures on the subterranean rock that allows natural gas and oil to flow into a collection well, where they are extracted (BBC, 2015). Over the past few years, the use of this method has rapidly increased in the US, and other nations such as the UK have equally initiated fracking operations. Ideally, the primary concerns of this method are on its impacts to the local communities and on the environment. The focus of this essay is to assess the keys issues regarding pros and cons of fracking. One of the primary reasons for the promotion of fracking is that natural gas is a relatively clean source of energy. According to Last (2016), the natural gas obtained through fracking releases less carbon when compared to other forms of fossil energies. After extraction, the gas is directly added to the national gas…
