Benefits: reduce size of stomach, restrict amount of food the stomach can hold, alters food course to prevent passing through small intestine that would normally absorb calories and nutrients. Effects: promotes satiety, suppress hunger, reverse primary mechanisms that causes obesity-related type 2 diabetes. In addition the surgery causes an average of 60 to 80% long term excess weight loss, which is superior to the adjustable gastric band. Typical maintenance is higher than 50%. Other pros include improvements in overall health, comorbidities, mobility, and increase in energy expenditure and quality of life.


Cons: Complex and irreversible surgery, great complication rates, mortality rate of 2.5% 90 days after procedure, despite the fact that comorbidities like diabetes and high blood pressure may be minimized or cured, the worse they are prior to the surgery the more the more likely it is for the patient to suffer from further complications, ( gastric band is reversible and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is less complex than Roux-en-y gastric bypass, which is what the cons are referring to), can cause long term vitamin deficiency particularly in: vitamin B12, iron, calcium, and folate. In addition, the surgery has a longer hospital stay than than the AGB (adjustable gastric band) and it requires adherence to dietary recommendations, life-long vitamin/mineral supplementation, and follow up compliance as explained by ASMBS ( American society for metabolic and bariatric surgery).

julia-pushkina [17]
These are some ways how scientists and engineers develop, use and refine models.

1. Imagine. They have to know what exactly trying to model. They have to imagine and brainstorm what are the things to be considered.

2. Reason. Next, they need to answer the questions brought  from their brainstorming. They need to be able to reason out.

3. Calculate and Predict. Once they know it, that's the time they can start modelling and calculate - and predict.

How did the environment affect the populations of peppered moths in the 1800s in London?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Option A. Because of the soot covering everything, the dirtier darker moths will be eaten less often, allowing them to reproduce and pass their genes on to the next generation.

Explanation: Sooth is the black powder which is produced due to incomplete combustion of carbon containing compounds. In the england, before industrial revolution, the population of white peppered moth were high due to clean environment and unable to see by the birds during night. When industrial revolution occurs, there is sooth spread on all the trees which is black in color so the population of black peppered moth increases because they can't be seen in the dark by the birds and population of white peppered moth decreases due to easily seen by the birds.
