Answer:
The authors found that, on average, a 1% reduction in the per capita GDP implies a 0.24 to 0.40 increase in infant mortality per 1,000 live births. In a more recent study, O’Hare et al.17 found effects of 0.33 for infant mortality and 0.28 for under-five mortality. These results are higher than those observed in the present study, which found an association of approximately 0.12 for infant mortality and 0.10 for under-five mortality rate for the total sample, and 0.15 and 0.14, respectively, for the subsample of low- and middle-income countries. This difference is probably due to the countries included in the sample, as Baird et al.14 and O’Hare et al.17 include only middle- and low-income countries in their analysis, while the present study included countries from the three income strata, with only 14% of the sample consisting of low-income countries. According to Maruthappu et al.6, the effect of economic crises on the health of children under five in the poorest countries is three-fold higher than the effect on children in high-income countries.

Answer:

Explanation:
Given that:
Area = 475 acres
The length of the channel (L) = 6870 feet
The average water shield slope (S) = 100 feet/mile
Since; 1 mile = 5280 feet
Burst duration D = 15 min
∴
100 feet/mile = 100/5280
The average water shield slope (S) = 5/264
Using hydrograph method:
The time of concentration 
where;
L = 6870
S = 5/264

min
Since 60 min = 1 hour
32.34 min will be (32.34*1)/60
= 0.539 hour
Lag time 


The time to peak i.e


Since D = 15 min is not equal to
, then we hydrograph apart from
duration lag time.
Then;

Now, we need to determine the peak discharge
by using the formula:

where
484 = peak factor
Recall that A = 475 acres, to miles, we have:
A = 0.7422 mile²

∴


Answer:
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. if you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich, "And the cause of not following your heart, is in spending the rest of your life wishing you had."
