BAIDEN Signature: ........................................................... Date: ................................................................... i ABSTRACT Mining activities are undertaken in many parts of the world where mineral deposits are found. In developing nations such as Ghana, the activity is done both legally and illegally, often with very little or no supervision, hence much damage is done to the water bodies where the activities are carried out. This study sought to assess the social impacts of illegal gold mining activities at Dunkwa-On-Offin, the capital town of Upper Denkyira East Municipality in the Central Region of Ghana. The main objectives of the research are to identify factors that trigger illegal mining; to identify social effects of illegal gold mining activities on inhabitants of Dunkwa-on-Offin; and to suggest effective ways in curbing illegal mining activities. Based on the approach to data collection, this study adopts both the quantitative and qualitative approach.

  • Topic 6: Projected Dynamical Systems
    Topic 6: Projected Dynamical Systems Professor Anna Nagurney John F. Smith Memorial Professor and Director – Virtual Center for Supernetworks Isenberg School of Management University of Massachusetts Amherst, Massachusetts 01003 SCH-MGMT 825 Management Science Seminar Variational Inequalities, Networks, and Game Theory Spring 2014 c Anna Nagurney 2014 Professor Anna Nagurney SCH-MGMT 825 Management Science Seminar Projected Dynamical Systems A plethora of equilibrium problems, including network equilibrium problems, can be uniformly formulated and studied as finite-dimensional variational inequality problems, as we have seen in the preceding lectures. Indeed, it was precisely the traffic network equilibrium problem, as stated by Smith (1979), and identified by Dafermos (1980) to be a variational inequality problem, that gave birth to the ensuing research activity in variational inequality theory and applications in transportation science, regional science, operations research/management science, and, more recently, in economics. Professor Anna Nagurney SCH-MGMT 825 Management Science Seminar Projected Dynamical Systems Usually, using this methodology, one first formulates the governing equilibrium conditions as a variational inequality problem. Qualitative properties of existence and uniqueness of solutions to a variational inequality problem can then be studied using the standard theory or by exploiting problem structure. Finally, a variety of algorithms for the computation of solutions to finite-dimensional variational inequality problems are now available (see, e.g., Nagurney (1999, 2006)). Professor Anna Nagurney SCH-MGMT 825 Management Science Seminar Projected Dynamical Systems Finite-dimensional variational inequality theory by itself, however, provides no framework for the study of the dynamics of competitive systems. Rather, it captures the system at its equilibrium state and, hence, the focus of this tool is static in nature.

  • Management Science 1
    Management Science 1 MANAGEMENT SCIENCE Department Code: MAS Introduction Management Science uses the ideas and methods of science, mathematics, statistics, and computing, which collectively are often referred to as Business Analytics, to help managers make better business decisions. Management science techniques have been applied in a wide variety of areas including financial modeling, marketing research, organizational theory, transportation and logistics, health care, environmental protection, and manufacturing. Almost any decision can benefit from the methods of management science/analytics. Educational Objectives The Department of Management Science offers a major area of specialization in Business Analytics as well as a minor in Business Analytics. The Business Analytics curriculum is designed to give Miami Herbert Business School students the necessary educational background and experience to allow them to work as successful business analytics professionals. Students pursuing the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree with a major area of specialization in Business Analytics are trained to combine quantitative, statistical, and computational tools and techniques to help companies understand, predict, and act on large amounts of data, improving decision-making in increasingly complex and interconnected business environments. For students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) degree program, the major in Business Analytics requires a solid background in the sciences and mathematics. Additionally, students are required to take sequences of courses in optimization, decision science, and data analytics. A number of the courses in the Business Analytics curriculum require projects, in which the student evaluates a real-world system or process. As the system is studied and modeled, the student applies management science methods to find ways to improve the process.

  • Non-Inferiority, Superiority, Equivalence, and Two-Sided Tests Vs
    NCSS Statistical Software NCSS.com Chapter 516 Two Proportions – Non-Inferiority, Superiority, Equivalence, and Two- Sided Tests vs. a Margin Introduction This chapter documents four closely related procedures: non-inferiority tests, superiority (by a margin) tests, equivalence tests, and two-sided tests versus a margin. These procedures compute both asymptotic and exact confidence intervals and hypothesis tests for the difference, ratio, and odds ratio of two proportions. Non-Inferiority Tests Non-inferiority tests are one-sided hypothesis tests in which the null and alternative hypotheses are arranged to test whether one group is almost as good (not much worse) than the other group. So, we might be interested in showing that a new, less-expensive method of treatment is no worse than the current method of treatment. Superiority Tests Superiority tests are one-sided hypothesis tests in which the null and alternative hypotheses are arranged to test whether one group is better than the other group by more than a stated margin. So, we might be interested in showing that a new method of treatment is better by more than a clinically insignificant amount. Equivalence Tests Equivalence tests are used to show conclusively that two methods (i.e. drugs) are equivalent. The conventional method of testing equivalence hypotheses is to perform two, one-sided tests (TOST) of hypotheses. The null hypothesis of non-equivalence is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis of equivalence if both one-sided tests are rejected. Unlike the common two-sided tests, however, the type I error rate is set directly at the nominal level (usually 0.05)—it is not split in half.
