...Pediatric calculations Accurate doses are especially important in giving medications to infants and children because even small errors can be dangerous due to their small body size. Two methods are used to calculate pediatric dosages: According to the weight in kilograms (kg) According to the child's body surface area (BSA) Calculations based on body weight 1. The first step is to convert the child's body weight into kg. The formula is 2.2 lb. = 1 kg. 2. The second step is to calculate the medication dose. a. Calculate the daily dose b. Divide the daily dose by the number of doses to be administered. c. Use either the ratio-proportion or formula method to calculate the number of tablets/ capsules or volume to be administered with each dose. Example: A child weighing 76 lbs. is ordered to receive 150 mg of Clindamycin q6h. The pediatric drug handbook states the recommended dose is 8-20 mg/kg/day in four divided doses. The Clindamycin is supplied in 100 mg scored tablets. 1. What is the weight in kg? 76 lbs÷2.2kg/lb. = 34.5 kg 2. What is the safe total daily dose? Minimum: 8 mg/kg/day X 34.5 kg = 276 mg/day Maximum: 20 mg/kg/day X 34.5 kg = 690 mg/day 3. Is this a safe dose? 150 mg/dose X 4 doses/day = 600 mg/day Yes this is within the recommended safe range. 4. Calculate the number of tablets to give. 100 mg: 1 tablet = 150 mg: x (multiply means 100...

...The following carbon footprint calculation is based on my personal boundary that the amount consumed by myself. The amount consumed is calculated from February 2015 when I moved to the new apartment where I am living to February 2016 which is easier to calculate. Explanation of the calculation of carbon footprint The amount of emission of carbon dioxide can be calculated by the ISA-GHG calculator based on the dollar amount spent on individual activity. Generally, my weekly budget could be divided into three parts: rent, entertainment cost and food cost on supermarkets. Rent accounts for the largest proportion of it, followed by food on supermarkets and entertainment cost. Specifically, individual spending can be evidenced by the receipts and I having been recoding my weekly expense for a long time so they are all reliable sources for the carbon footprint calculation. Moreover, I am living in a shared house with my flatmates, the electricity bill, rent and water bill should be divided by the number of people living in the department to calculate an accurate number. The classification of GHG emission According to the classification of GHG emission, my daily activities can be divided into Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3. Under the food section, I have the direct ownership of those food and vegetable so activities related to them are considered as Scope 1. Under the Housing section, my activity in the past year didn't get involved to natural gas and construction and maintenance...

...Introduction Budgeting is in its simplest term, an estimation of future outflow/ inflow of money as well as predicted income within a fixed period of time. Budgeting is to many companies, a method of allocating resources. It also serves to evaluate its performance of the organization. Thus I agree to a large extent that budgeting is a key component in management in short and long term planning. Short-term budgeting (Advantages) The pros of short-term budgeting is, firstly, it can help to improve the co-relations between employee as they will be communicating with each other closely to meet the budget plans set by the company. Secondly, budgeting can helps the company to improve in allocating the resources as request are justified. Company will base on the budget plan to acquire the resources that is needed for the company to produce its products and maintain the quality of the production. Thirdly, it will provide companies with a record of its organizational activities throughout the month/year. By having these records, it allows companies to compare its standard plan with the actual result produce within the month/year. Thus organization can further improve its budgeting plans in future and solve the problems face during the past month/year. Disadvantages However, there are also disadvantages of having a short-term budgeting. Firstly, it will faces strong competition to allocate resources from the external forces such as other companies in the same line of production...

...with stamped drawings, you'll eventually need to do commercial load calculations in the field or on a licensing exam. The NEC covers commercial calculations in Art. 220, but other articles also apply. For example, you must know the definitions in Art. 100, be familiar with what Art. 210 says about continuous loads, and understand the overcurrent protection requirements set forth in Art. 240. Two items associated with this type of calculation repeatedly need clarification: * Voltage The voltage to use for your calculations depends on the system design voltage. Thus when you calculate branch-circuit, feeder, and service loads, you must use a nominal system voltage of 120V, 120/240V, 208Y/120V, 240V, 347V, 480Y/277V, 480V, 600Y/347V, or 600V unless otherwise specified (220.2) (Fig. 1 below). * Rounding Refer to 200.2(B) to end the rounding mystery. When the ampere calculation exceeds a whole number by 0.5 or more, round up to the next whole number. If the extra is 0.49 or less, round down to the next whole number. For, example, round 29.5A up to 30A, but round 29.45A down to 29A. Specific loads. Art. 220 doesn't cover all specific loads. For example, you'll find motors in Art. 430 and air conditioners in Art. 440. To know if you should look in another Article, use the NEC index. <b>Fig. 1.</b> Don’t make the mistake of using actual field measurements of system voltage in your calculations. Unless specified otherwise, loads shall be computed using the nominal...

...strategies has financial costs and benefits. These are discussed below. 1) Ten per cent increase through efficiency The efficiency improvement strategy carries no costs and should yield 10 per cent on the bottom line, or about an additional $12,100 profit. The calculations are: $550,000 annual revenue x 2% margin = $11,000 net profits $11,000 net profit x 10% efficiency improvement = $1,100 $11,000 + 1,100 = $12,100 increase in net profits 2) Add adventure diving The adventure diving resort strategy will require about $15,000 to get started. It should yield about $95,680 additional revenue. The calculations are: 8 divers per trip x $115 for each diver = $920 revenue per trip $920 each trip x 2 dives per week - $1,840 revenue per week $1,840 revenue per week x 52 weeks = $95,680 annual adventure diving revenue 3) Focus on family diving The family diving resort strategy will cost $60,000 to $160,000 (in renovations and improvements) and should yield at least an additional $157,000 over current revenues, assuming no increases in prices. If Coral Divers raises its prices to equal other family resorts, the revenues should be even higher. Two methods of calculation are shown below. Method 1: Occupancy during high season is 90 per cent, so: 90% (“x”) = 0.90x [where “x” equals total seasonal revenue] And occupancy during low season is 50 per cent, so: 50% (“x”) = 0.50x [where “x” equals total seasonal revenue] ...

...whether a floor price and taxing on alcohol would benefit Thailand’s population and also whether the UK should trial similar ideas. A Simple Model for Demand To be able to work out the effect that the increase in demand will have on the annual consumption I would have to interpret the data given in the report. As we are told, the price per litre of alcohol is expected to increase by 60% to 2,500 Baht in 2013, I was therefore able to work out that in 2012 the average price of alcohol would have been 1,562.5 Baht per litre by doing the following calculation: 2500 / 160% = 1562.5 2500 / 160% = 1562.5 378 / 100 1.5 = 372.33 378 / 100 1.5 = 372.33 Moreover, as we were also told in the report the annual amount of alcohol consumed in 2012 was 378 million litres and that this is expected to decrease by 1.5% by 2013. I was able to calculate the predicted amount of litres of alcohol consumed by doing the simple calculation: An Equation for the Demand Curve The information that I have formulated above has allowed me to be able to calculate the gradient and more importantly the equation of the demand curve between Thailand’s annual consumption of...
