◦ will kink toward the origin at 10 units of food.
◦ will kink away from the origin at 10 units of food.

Suppose the production possibilities for two countries, producing either food or clothing, are shown in the above figure. They can each produce any linear combination as well. Measuring food on the horizontal axis, the joint production possibility frontier
◦ will have a slope of -3/4 over the entire frontier.
◦ will have a slope of -1 when less than 20 units of food are produced.
◦ will have a slope of -1/2 when less than 20 units of food are produced.
◦ will have a slope of -2 when less than 20 units of food are produced.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

An identified risk factor for osteoporosis is the intake of excessive amounts of vitamin A. Dietary intake of approximately double the recommended daily amount of vitamin A, by women, has been shown to reduce bone mineral density and increase the chances for hip fractures compared with women who consumed the recommended daily amount (or less) of vitamin A.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.
