National Motorists Association

The National Motorists Association (NMA) is for-profit non-stock corporation lobbyist and special interest group in North America, created in 1982. NMA also operates a small non-profit organization, National Motorists Association Foundation, established in 1999. The have been referred to as "right-wing" for their "hard-line stances against automated enforcement, lower speed limits, traffic calming, stricter DUI rules, and even seatbelt laws."

History
The NMA, originally called the Citizens Coalition for Rational Traffic Laws (CCRTL), was founded in 1982 in opposition to the 55 mph National Maximum Speed Law, which was their chief cause until the law’s repeal in 1995. The NMA also fought unsuccessfully against drunk driving laws, arguing they “target innocent motorists who happen to be social drinkers.”   The National Motorists Association name was adopted in the late 1980s.

Opposition to law enforcement
The NMA opposes most forms of traffic law enforcement and encourages violators to challenge all traffic tickets.  The NMA fights the installation of red light cameras, automated speed limit enforcement, and the use of stop-arm cameras on school buses. The non-profit, non-partisan Politifact gave the NMA's assertion that radar speed enforcement and red-light cameras do not prevent crashes the rating "Pants on Fire," indicating a statement that is "not accurate and makes a ridiculous claim."

The NMA operates a speedtrap registry and a roadblock registry where people can post the locations of traffic law enforcement and sobriety checkpoints.

The group opposes checkpoints, the use of Breathalyzers as evidence in court, the assumption of fault when an impaired driver is in a collision, and most cases of license suspension due to DUI violations. The group supports lowering penalties for drunk drivers under a BAC of 0.15%. They oppose reducing the legal blood alcohol content limit and are against "zero tolerance" laws for drivers under the legal drinking age. The NMA states they support "drinking and driving regulations based on reasonable standards."

The organization also offers to reimburse traffic fines for paying customers who are found guilty of violating laws after unsuccessfully challenging a ticket in court.

Organized protests
In the 1980s and '90s, the NMA would advertise a "Civil Obedience Day" where some drivers would travel in a caravan at the posted speed limit on a few local highways. The purpose was to support the NMA’s claim that the posted speed limit was unreasonably low. The caravan would leave the far left lane open for cars to pass.

Opposition to Vision Zero
NMA has taken a strong opposition to Vision Zero road safety projects, signing editorials and offering criticism against policies to support the movement's goals.

Corporate status and foundation
The National Motorists Association is a privately held, non-stock corporation in Waunakee, Wisconsin. NMA describes itself as a "grassroots advocacy organization". It does not publish membership statistics or funding sources.

The NMA's foundation, separate from the for-profit NMA itself, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1999 and also based in Waunakee, Wisconsin. The foundation has funded legal challenges, to mixed success, in three states, including a Wisconsin case in which the NMA president's wife disputed a ticket based on a speed laser reading. It provided a $500 research grant to support the Motorcycle Riders Federation challenge to stricter emissions standards. The NMA does not disclose the donor list for its foundation. The foundation's sole program expenses were attributed to "educational materials and related support services to American motorists", for a total of $34,659 (USD) in 2014, and $69,338 (USD) in 2013. NMA Foundation does not have any paid employees.

Previous usage
The National Motorists Association was also the name of an older automobile club in the United States, founded in 1922, which merged with the American Automobile Association in 1923.

## Lesson Outline

1. Introduction to Alternative Business Structures (ABS)
2. Benefits of ABS in the Legal Services Sector
3. Challenges of Implementing ABS
4. Regulatory Framework for ABS
5. Examples of ABS in Practice
6. Conclusion

## Section 1: Introduction to Alternative Business Structures (ABS)

**Definition:** An Alternative Business Structure (ABS) refers to a new type of legal service provider that is allowed to own or invest in law firms, providing non-lawyer ownership and investment in the provision of legal services.

**Background:** The Legal Services Act (LSA) 2007 was introduced in the UK to modernize the legal services market and increase competition. One of the key changes brought about by the LSA was the introduction of ABS.

**Main Topic:** In this lesson, we will explore the concept of ABS, their benefits, challenges, and the regulatory framework governing them.

## Section 2: Benefits of ABS in the Legal Services Sector

**Benefit 1: Increased Competition:** The introduction of ABS has led to increased competition in the legal services sector, which has resulted in better services and lower costs for clients.

**Benefit 2: Innovation:** ABS allows law firms to attract external investment, which can lead to innovation in the delivery of legal services.

**Benefit 3: Improved Access to Justice:** ABS can help improve access to justice by making legal services more affordable and accessible to a wider range of people.

## Section 3: Challenges of Implementing ABS

**Challenge 1: Resistance from Traditional Law Firms:** Some traditional law firms may resist the changes brought about by ABS, as they may perceive them as a threat to their existing business models.

**Challenge 2: Regulatory Complexity:** The implementation of ABS requires law firms to navigate complex regulatory frameworks, which can be time-consuming and costly.

**Challenge 3: Public Perception:** There may be resistance from the public due to concerns about the quality of legal services provided by ABS entities.

## Section 4: Regulatory Framework for ABS

**Regulatory Authority:** The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is responsible for regulating ABS in England and Wales.

**Key Requirements:** To operate as an ABS, a law firm must satisfy certain requirements, including having appropriate insurance, a suitable business model, and adequate systems in place to manage risk.

**Enforcement:** The SRA has the power to investigate and prosecute law firms that do not comply with the regulatory requirements.

## Section 5: Examples of ABS in Practice

**Example 1:** Slater and Gordon, an Australian law firm, established an ABS entity in the UK in 2013, becoming the first non-UK law firm to do so.

**Example 2:** The Co-operative Legal Services, a subsidiary of the Co-operative Group, was established as an ABS in 2013, offering legal services to consumers at competitive rates.

## Section 6: Conclusion

In conclusion, the introduction of ABS in the UK legal services sector has brought about significant changes, leading to increased competition, innovation, and improved access to justice. While there are challenges associated with implementing ABS, such as resistance from traditional law firms and regulatory complexity, the benefits of increased competition and innovation in the delivery of legal services outweigh these challenges. As ABS continues to evolve, it is likely that we will see further changes in the legal services sector, leading to improved services and greater access to justice for all.

Lesson: Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

**Section 1: What is a Geographic Information System (GIS)?**

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based tool used to store, analyze, and display geographic information. It helps us understand patterns, relationships, and trends in data that are otherwise difficult to detect without the use of technology. GIS can be used in many fields, including urban planning, environmental management, public health, and marketing.

**Section 2: How does GIS work?**

GIS works by combining data with maps. This data can come from various sources, such as satellite imagery, aerial photography, or field surveys. Once the data is collected, it is imported into a GIS software program, where it can be analyzed and visualized. The software allows users to create maps, perform spatial analysis, and share their results with others.

**Section 3: Why use GIS?**

There are many reasons why someone might use GIS. Some of these include:

- To better understand the world around us: GIS allows us to see patterns and relationships that may not be immediately apparent.
- To make informed decisions: By analyzing data in a GIS, we can make more informed decisions based on evidence rather than intuition.
- To communicate our findings: GIS makes it easy to create maps and other visualizations that help us communicate our findings to others.

**Section 4: Practical Examples**

Here are some examples of how GIS can be used in different fields:

- Urban Planning: A city planner might use GIS to analyze population density and land use patterns to determine where to build new housing developments or commercial areas.
- Environmental Management: An environmental scientist might use GIS to track changes in forest cover over time and identify areas that are most at risk for deforestation.
- Public Health: A public health official might use GIS to map the distribution of disease outbreaks and identify areas where resources need to be allocated to prevent further spread.
- Marketing: A marketing professional might use GIS to analyze customer demographics and preferences to target advertising campaigns more effectively.

**Section 5: Conclusion**

In conclusion, GIS is a powerful tool that can help us understand the world around us and make informed decisions based on evidence. By combining data with maps, we can gain new insights into patterns, relationships, and trends that would otherwise be difficult to detect. Whether you are working in urban planning, environmental management, public health, or marketing, GIS can provide valuable insights and help you achieve your goals.

Proton translocating nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase from E. coli. Mechanism of action deduced from its structural and catalytic properties.
Transhydrogenase couples the stereospecific and reversible transfer of hydride equivalents from NADH to NADP(+) to the translocation of proton across the inner membrane in mitochondria and the cytoplasmic membrane in bacteria. Like all transhydrogenases, the Escherichia coli enzyme is composed of three domains. Domains I and III protrude from the membrane and contain the binding site for NAD(H) and NADP(H), respectively. Domain II spans the membrane and constitutes at least partly the proton translocating pathway. Three-dimensional models of the hydrophilic domains I and III deduced from crystallographic and NMR data and a new topology of domain II are presented. The new information obtained from the structures and the numerous mutation studies strengthen the proposition of a binding change mechanism, as a way to couple the reduction of NADP(+) by NADH to proton translocation and occurring mainly at the level of the NADP(H) binding site.

Lesson: Understanding Enzymes and their Mechanisms

Introduction:
Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They play a crucial role in various biological processes, including metabolism, growth, and development. In this lesson, we will learn about the structure and function of enzymes, with a focus on the transhydrogenase enzyme found in E. coli.

Section 1: Structure of Enzymes

Enzymes are proteins that have a specific three-dimensional structure. This structure is essential for their function. The structure can be divided into four levels: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.

Primary structure refers to the sequence of amino acids in the protein chain. Secondary structure refers to the local folding of the protein chain into regular patterns, such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets. Tertiary structure refers to the overall shape of the protein, which is formed by the folding of secondary structures and other interactions between amino acids. Quaternary structure refers to the arrangement of multiple polypeptide chains in a protein complex.

Section 2: Catalytic Activity of Enzymes

Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. They do this by providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. The region of the enzyme where the substrate binds is called the active site. The enzyme and substrate interact through various forces, such as hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and van der Waals forces.

Section 3: Transhydrogenase Enzyme

The transhydrogenase enzyme is responsible for the transfer of hydride equivalents from NADH to NADP(+). It also facilitates the translocation of protons across the inner membrane in mitochondria and the cytoplasmic membrane in bacteria. The Escherichia coli enzyme is composed of three domains: I, II, and III. Domains I and III protrude from the membrane and contain the binding sites for NAD(H) and NADP(H), respectively. Domain II spans the membrane and constitutes the proton translocating pathway.

Section 4: Mechanism of Action

The mechanism of action of the transhydrogenase enzyme involves a binding change mechanism. This means that the enzyme changes its conformation upon binding to the substrate, which allows it to catalyze the reaction. The enzyme then returns to its original conformation after the reaction is complete, allowing it to bind to another substrate molecule.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned about the structure and function of enzymes, with a focus on the transhydrogenase enzyme found in E. coli. We discussed the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of proteins and how they relate to enzyme function. We also explored the catalytic activity of enzymes and the specific role of the transhydrogenase enzyme in the transfer of hydride equivalents and protons. By understanding the mechanism of action of enzymes like transhydrogenase, we can gain insight into how these biological catalysts contribute to essential biological processes.

Q:

How to execute a same query for 7 days in Oracle sql developer

I have a query
select count(*)
from purchases
where START_TIME>=TO_DATE('10-NOV-2017 00:00','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI') AND START_TIME<TO_DATE('10-NOV-2017 01:00','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI') and
      CLIENT_ID in (1,54);

and by using this I am gathering stats for an hour. But I am going to need stats everyday for the same time for past 7 days.
I mean, from above query I am gathering between 10-NOV-2017 00:00 and 10-NOV-2017 01:00 and similarly I need to gather for 09-NOV-2017 00:00 to 09-NOV-2017 01:00 and so on for past 7 days.
And it should print like
  Date        | Count
+-------------+-------+
  10-NOV-2017 | 100
  09-NOV-2017 | 110

Is it achievable ?

Lesson:

**Title:** Querying Data using SQL

**Grade Level:** Primary through High School

**Duration:** 1 hour

**Objective:** Students will learn how to write SQL queries to extract data from a database. They will also learn how to use SQL to filter and aggregate data, and how to use SQL to join multiple tables.

**Introduction:**

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a programming language used to manage and manipulate data in databases. In this lesson, we will learn how to write SQL queries to extract data from a database, filter and aggregate data, and join multiple tables.

**Section 1: Writing SQL Queries**

**Topic 1: SELECT Statement**

The SELECT statement is used to retrieve data from one or more tables in a database. The SELECT statement can retrieve all columns from a table or just specific columns. It can also retrieve data in a specific order.

**Topic 2: WHERE Clause**

The WHERE clause is used to filter data based on certain conditions. The WHERE clause can be used to select only rows that meet a specific condition.

**Topic 3: GROUP BY Clause**

The GROUP BY clause is used to group rows of data together based on a specific column or expression. The GROUP BY clause is often used in conjunction with the aggregate functions (COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX) to calculate statistics about a set of data.

**Topic 4: ORDER BY Clause**

The ORDER BY clause is used to sort the data retrieved by the SELECT statement in a specific order.

**Section 2: Filtering and Aggregating Data**

**Topic 1: Using the WHERE Clause to Filter Data**

The WHERE clause can be used to select only rows that meet a specific condition. For example, we can use the WHERE clause to select only rows where the client ID is greater than 50.

```sql
SELECT * FROM purchases
WHERE CLIENT_ID > 50;
```

**Topic 2: Using the GROUP BY Clause to Aggregate Data**

The GROUP BY clause can be used to group rows of data together based on a specific column or expression. We can then use the aggregate functions to calculate statistics about the grouped data.

```sql
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM purchases
GROUP BY CLIENT_ID;
```

**Section 3: Joining Tables**

**Topic 1: JOIN Statement**

The JOIN statement is used to combine data from two or more tables in a database. There are four types of JOINs: INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, and FULL OUTER JOIN.

**Topic 2: INNER JOIN**

The INNER JOIN is used to combine two tables based on a specific condition. Only rows that meet the condition will be included in the result.

**Example:**

```sql
SELECT purchases.*, clients.name
FROM purchases
INNER JOIN clients
ON purchases.client_id = clients.id;

Woman blows whistle on Health Ministry molester

Video taken by a hidden camera installed in a Public Health Ministry office in Nonthaburi shows a supervisor groping a female staff member. (Photo from Amarin TV)

NONTHABURI: An employee of the Public Health Ministry has accused her boss of molesting her by stroking her breasts and threatening not to renew her work contract if she resisted.

The 30-year-old employee, hired on a year-to-year contract at a unit under the permanent secretary’s office, on Saturday filed a complaint with police at Muang district police station in Nonthaburi.

The woman, identified only as Ae, also gave officers a video clip that showed her being molested.

She said her direct superior had been molesting her since 2014 and the abuse had become worse, to the point where she could no longer stand it. The man had threatened not to renew her employment contract if she resisted, Thai media reported on Saturday.

In the most recent incident, her boss grabbed her in a headlock and stroked her breasts in full view of her colleagues. Nobody dared help her because the man had power, said the woman. She admitted she was afraid of the man, who is married with no children.

She lodged a complaint with her office about what he had done to her, but his conduct did not change. She then sought help from some colleagues to secretly install a camera in his office. He was not aware of the camera, which captured him groping her.

Amarin TV broadcast the video, which has been uploaded to YouTube on Friday and had received more than 250,000 views as of Saturday evening.

Media reports quoted Sophon Mekthon, the ministry's permanent secretary, as saying he had signed an order to transfer the accused official and had set up a fact-finding committee to look into the incidents.

“I decide to file the complaint as I am afraid for my safety," the woman told Matichon Online. "I also want society to know that a male employer should not act like this against a female employee who cannot fight back.

"Outsiders may think that sexual molestation is consensual. In fact, it is not and his action has tarnished my dignity."

Pol Lt Col Wachiranusorn Khamphaeng, investigation chief at the Muang district police station, said officers had interviewed the woman's colleagues and viewed the video. He said a warrant would be issued to summon the accused employer for questioning. If he fails to show up, an arrest warrant would be issued, he added.

Lesson: Introduction to Commerce

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

In this lesson, we will learn about commerce, which refers to the exchange of goods and services between people. We will cover the following concepts:

1. What is commerce?
2. How does commerce affect our daily lives?
3. Types of commerce
4. The role of technology in commerce

**Question and Answer**

Q: What is commerce?
A: Commerce refers to the exchange of goods and services between people. It includes buying and selling activities that involve the transfer of ownership and value from one person to another.

Q: How does commerce affect our daily lives?
A: Commerce affects our daily lives in many ways. For example, when we buy food at the grocery store, use public transportation, or purchase clothes from a clothing store, we are engaging in commerce. Commerce provides us with the goods and services we need to live our lives and contributes to the economy's growth.

Q: What are the types of commerce?
A: There are several types of commerce, including:

1. Wholesale commerce: This involves selling products to retailers who then sell them to consumers.
2. Retail commerce: This involves selling products directly to consumers.
3. E-commerce: This involves selling products online through websites or mobile apps.
4. Service commerce: This involves providing services to customers, such as cleaning, repair, or consulting.

Q: What is the role of technology in commerce?
A: Technology has revolutionized commerce by making it easier for businesses to reach customers and for customers to access products and services. For example, online shopping has made it possible for people to buy goods from anywhere in the world, and digital payment systems have made transactions more secure and convenient.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's look at some practical examples of how commerce works:

1. A small business owner sells handmade jewelry on an online marketplace. She uses social media to promote her products and accepts payments through a digital platform.

2. A family owns a farm that produces fruits and vegetables. They sell their produce to local supermarkets, earning income and contributing to the community's food supply.

3. A software development company creates mobile applications for businesses. They sell their services to clients around the world, helping businesses improve their operations and customer engagement.

### Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

**Debate Topic: The Impact of Technology on Commerce**

Argument 1: Technology has greatly improved commerce by making it easier for businesses to reach customers and for customers to access products and services. Online shopping, digital payment systems, and social media marketing have all contributed to the growth of commerce.

Argument 2: While technology has made it easier for businesses to operate, it has also led to the decline of traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Many customers prefer the convenience of shopping online from home rather than going to physical stores. This has resulted in the closure of many small businesses that cannot compete with the large online retailers.

Conclusion: Technology has had a significant impact on commerce, both positive and negative. While it has made it easier for businesses to operate and reach customers, it has also contributed to the decline of traditional stores. It is essential to find a balance between embracing technology and supporting local businesses.

### Glossary

**Commerce:** The exchange of goods and services between people.
**Wholesale commerce:** Selling products to retailers who then sell them to consumers.
**Retail commerce:** Selling products directly to consumers.
**E-commerce:** Selling products online through websites or mobile apps.

Lesson:

**Title:** Introduction to Linear Regression

**Grade Level:** Middle School - High School

**Duration:** 1 hour

**Objective:** In this lesson, students will learn about linear regression, a statistical method used to model the relationship between two or more variables. They will understand the concept of correlation and how it relates to linear regression. Students will also learn how to interpret the results of a linear regression analysis and apply this knowledge to real-world scenarios.

**Introduction:**

Linear regression is a statistical technique used to analyze the relationship between two or more variables. It is commonly used in fields such as economics, sociology, psychology, and finance to study the association between variables and make predictions.

**Section 1: Theory**

- **Correlation:** Correlation measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. It ranges from -1 to +1, where -1 indicates a perfect negative relationship, 0 indicates no relationship, and +1 indicates a perfect positive relationship.

- **Linear Regression:** Linear regression is a method of modeling the linear relationship between a dependent variable (y) and one or more independent variables (x). The equation of a linear regression line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, and x is the independent variable.

- **Interpretation of Linear Regression:** The slope (m) represents the change in the dependent variable (y) for each unit change in the independent variable (x). The y-intercept (b) represents the value of y when x is 0. A positive slope indicates a direct relationship between x and y, while a negative slope indicates an inverse relationship.

**Section 2: Practice**

- **Question 1:** Suppose we want to model the relationship between a person's income (y) and their age (x). We collect data from 10 people and find the following correlation coefficient: r = 0.9. What does this mean?

- **Answer 1:** This means that there is a strong positive relationship between income and age, as the correlation coefficient is close to 1.

- **Question 2:** If we have a linear regression equation y = 2x + 4, what does this mean?

- **Answer 2:** This means that for every unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units. The equation also tells us that when x = 0, y = 4.

**Section 3: Real-World Scenarios**

- **Scenario 1:** A company wants to predict its sales based on the number of employees. They collect data on sales (y) and the number of employees (x) and find a correlation coefficient of r = 0.8. They use this information to create a linear regression model. What can they conclude from this?

- **Answer 1:** They can conclude that there is a strong positive relationship between sales and the number of employees, indicating that as the number of employees increases, sales also increase.

- **Scenario 2:** A researcher wants to predict the GPA of a student based on their study habits. They collect data on GPA (y) and study habits (x) and find a correlation coefficient of r = -0.6. What does this mean?

- **Answer 2:** This means that there is a weak negative relationship between GPA and study habits, indicating that as study habits decrease, GPA also decreases.

**Conclusion:**

Linear regression is a powerful tool for understanding the relationship between variables and making predictions. By interpreting the results of a linear regression analysis, we can gain insights into real-world scenarios and make informed decisions.

**Glossary:**

- Correlation: A measure of the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.
- Linear Regression: A statistical method used to model the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.
- Interpretation: The process of understanding and explaining the meaning of data and results obtained from a linear regression analysis.
- Slope: The change in the dependent variable (y) for each unit change in the independent variable (x).
- Y-intercept: The value of y when x is 0.
- Positive Slope: Indicates a direct relationship between x and y.
- Negative Slope: Indicates an inverse relationship between x and y.


text: October 4, 2015. The new building being built at Saint Columba had a major facelift.. The rising of the steeple onto the church was a big event and many people came from all over town to witness it.. The steeple itself was shipped across the country from Utah, and is now sitting atop the new church building which is to be completed later this year.. "It certainly will offer us more space for worship and will allow us to have probably fewer celebrations of the Eucharist on the weekend so that more people can come to together in the one location and develop some community with each other," said Father Gallagher.. Construction workers at the site expect the church to be fully complete.

Lesson: Introduction to Community Health Centers

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Community health centers (CHCs) are primary care facilities that serve medically underserved populations. They provide comprehensive health services to individuals regardless of their ability to pay. CHCs are essential in addressing health disparities and improving the overall health of communities.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's consider a hypothetical scenario where a community health center is located in a rural area with a high percentage of low-income families. The center provides primary care services such as immunizations, physical exams, and treatment for chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. In addition, the center offers mental health services, dental care, and social work services to address the social determinants of health. The center also partners with local schools to provide health education and screenings for students.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now let's consider a real-world scenario where a community health center in a low-income urban area experiences an influx of patients with respiratory illnesses. The center's staff quickly identifies the outbreak as a result of poor air quality due to nearby industrial pollution. The center responds by providing education on air quality issues, distributing masks, and advocating for stricter environmental regulations.

## Glossary
- Community Health Center (CHC): A primary care facility that serves medically underserved populations regardless of their ability to pay.
- Medically Underserved Population: A population that has limited access to health care services due to factors such as geographic location, economic status, or cultural barriers.
- Health Disparities: Differences in health outcomes between groups of people, often related to social, economic, or environmental factors.
- Social Determinants of Health: Conditions in the environments in which people are born, live, learn, work, and age that can influence their health risks and outcomes.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about the importance of community health centers in addressing health disparities and improving overall health. We explored practical examples of how CHCs provide comprehensive primary care services and address social determinants of health. Finally, we examined a real-world scenario where a CHC responded to an environmental issue affecting the health of its patients. By understanding the role of CHCs in improving health outcomes, we can apply these skills to new problems and situations.

text: The ‘discrimination’ noted here comes from a study published this month in the Journal of Medical Internet Research’s mHealth and uHealth (JMIR), which attempts to cross-reference ‘high-income country’ and ‘low- and middle-income countries’ diseases with the number of apps available for those diseases. The count is based on a review of literature and apps stores. Unfortunately the study, as reported in FierceMobileHealthcare, sounds quite broad-brush. In general, they assert, there are more apps for high-income country diseases such as dementia and ischemic heart disease. Apps for low-income country diseases, such as lower respiratory diseases and malaria, are fewer. Exceptions are apps for HIV/AIDS, which disproportionately affects low income countries but are abundant, and the dearth of apps for trachea, bronchus and lung cancers prevalent in high and middle-income countries. No mention of whether certain diseases are more effectively controlled by app usage than others, though. JMIR study..

Q:

n such that $|\sin (\sqrt{n+1})-\sin \sqrt n|< \lambda$

I broke $|\sin (\sqrt{n+1})-\sin \sqrt n|$ as $|2cos(\frac{\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt n}{2})sin(\frac{\sqrt{n+1}-\sqrt n}{2})|$.I am facing trouble in proving that it is less than some number for some n.Please help me in his regard.Thanks.

A:

I think a good idea would be to use the Mean Value theorem. Hence, for all positive integers $n$, you must have :
\begin{equation*}
|\sin(\sqrt{n+1}) - \sin(\sqrt{n})| \leq | \sqrt{n+1} - \sqrt{n} | = \frac{1}{\sqrt{n+1} + \sqrt{n}} \underset{n \to \infty}{\longrightarrow} 0
\end{equation*}
Now it is easy to see that the good answer must be $C$.

A:

You're on the right track.  Note that we have
$$\begin{align}
\left|\sin(\sqrt{n+1})-\sin(\sqrt n)\right|&=\left|2\cos\left(\frac{\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt n}{2}\right)\sin\left(\frac{\sqrt{n+1}-\sqrt n}{2}\right)\right|\\\\
&\le 2\left|\sin\left(\frac{1}{2(\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt n)}\right)\right| \tag 1\\\\
&\le \frac{1}{\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n}} \tag 2\\\\
&\le \frac{1}{1+\sqrt2}
\end{align}$$
where in going from $(1)$ to $(2)$ we simply used the fact that $\sin(x)\le x$ for $x\ge 0$.
