1. 大型器材的运输
某municipality在讨论在港口建某项目需要的大型器材究竟该怎么从内陆运过来。用公路运输比较贵,用一个半废弃的canal运输的运输成本比公路低很多,所以建议使用canal
问weaken Canal运输很可能破坏器材。
2. 心血管疾病
C-reactive proteinlevel是arterial inflammation(动脉炎症)的indicator。而arterial inflammation是cardiovasculardiseases(心血管疾病)的一种。有一组实验,进行体育锻炼的人血液内C-reactive protein的level下降.对照组中使用某种drug的人CRP也有drop。医生的结论是:这种drug对于降低心血管疾病风险的作用跟运动一样
问evaluate
需要判断这个C level是否也是其他病症的indicator。
3. 住院病人
