Case Study about Carbohydrate -Related Medical Problem (Diabetes Mellitus)
Patient History: RX, a 6-year-old girl in previously good health, has noticed that, in the past
month, she is increasingly thirsty. She gets up several times a night to urinate, and finds herself
gulping down large amount of water. At the dinner table, she seems to be eating twice as much
as she used to, yet she has lost 4 kilograms in the past month. In the past three days, she has
become nauseated, vomiting on three occasions, prompting a visit to her pediatrician.
Laboratory Results:
 Fasting blood glucose level = 445 mg/dl
 blood pH level = 7.23
 Hb A1C = 9.5%
 C-Peptide Test = 0.4 ng/ml
 urine = tested positive for glucose and for acetone / acetoacetate/ beta hydroxybutyric
acid
Based on the given case, answer the following guide questions:
1. What is the relationship between Diabetes and Carbohydrates? How are carbohydrates
contributing to the patient’s diagnosis of high blood glucose level?
2. Compare and contrast the two main types of Carbohydrates. Which among the two types
can cause the biggest jump in your blood sugar and why?3. Diabetes is a metabolic disease that impacts the body’s production and/or utilization of
insulin. In Type 1 diabetes the body fails to produce insulin; whereas in Type 2 diabetes
the body produces insulin (and sometimes excessive amounts of it) but for a variety of
reasons the insulin does not function as it should. Now, give two reasons and explain why
insulin is beneficial especially for diabetic patients.
4. Explain why her blood-glucose level is elevated?
5. Why is her blood pH level decreased?
6. RX has a fruity odor to her breath. Explain why.
7. Explain why RX is urinating so frequently.
8. How is RX's condition like that of starvation? Address the role of glucagon in your
answer.
9. Based on your answer in no. 2, what foods will be highly recommended to the patient?
Explain.
10. Do you believe that you can adjust your diabetes drugs to ‘Cover’ whatever you eat?
Why?

C++ You should have one main function + 4 other functions for your submission for this lab. you have no need for extra functions beyond that, and you should not have less. You may use any pre existing functions already defined in class or a previous lab.

-Write a function storeTotal(,) that takes two arguments of type double, and has a return type of type Boolean. This function will take the number 256 and divide it by the second parameter, and add the result to the first parameter. It will return true afterwards.

-You should be making mindful decisions of which parameters should be call by value and which should be call by reference.

-If dividing by the second parameter would result in a run time error, the program does not do the calculation, and instead returns false.

-Ask the user to input two numbers, one at a time, discarding excess input each time.

-The program should keep looping until the user enters valid input.

-Once the user enters input, call function storeTotal appropriately.

-Whether storeTotal runs successfully (returns true) or not (returns false), display an appropriate message.

-Output the results of the variable that is cumulating value. This number is ALWAYS displayed in scientific notation, accurate to 3 decimal places

Repeat this 2 times.

Sample Output

How much do you already have? A

Invalid Input!

How much do you already have? Bck

Invalid Input!

How much do you already have? 42.4

What is the split factor? ,!

Invalid Input!

What is the split factor? 3.5

You now have 1.155e+002

How much do you already have? 35.6

What is the split factor? 0

That didn't go well, you still have 3.560e+001

*Explanation* 256/3.5 and then added to 42.4 gives 115.54, which, in scientific notation, gives the output above.

*Note* How scientific notation is displayed can vary from compiler to compiler, as long as you are getting it done through proper knowledge of C++ then the output does not need to look exactly the same.

A sealed vertical cylinder of radius R and height h = 0.616 m is initially filled halfway with water, and the upper half is filled with air. The air is initially at standard atmospheric pressure, p0 = 1.01·105 Pa. A small valve at the bottom of the cylinder is opened, and water flows out of the cylinder until the reduced pressure of the air in the upper part of the cylinder prevents any further water from escaping. By what distance is the depth of the water lowered? (Assume that the temperature of water and air do not change and that no air leaks into the cylinder.)

In an attempt to reduce the extraordinarily long travel times for voyaging to distant stars, some people have suggested traveling at close to the speed of light. Suppose you wish to visit the red giant star Betelgeuse, which is 430 ly l y away, and that you want your 20,000 kg k g rocket to move so fast that you age only 38 years during the round trip.


How fast must the rocket travel relative to earth?


How much energy is needed to accelerate the rocket to this speed?


How many times larger is this energy than the total energy used by the United States in the year 2000, which was roughly 1.0×1020J1.0×1020J?

Define the interface for a queue ADT and implement it in two ways: one with a dummy node (or nodes) and one without.
In addition to the two standard queue functions you’ll need a function to create/initialize an empty queue,
a function to free an existing queue (which may not be empty),
and a function to return the size (number of keys) in the queue.
All functions should be as efficient as possible, e.g., the complexity of enqueue and dequeue must be O(1).
An additional requirement is that the underlying data structure should not be a doubly-linked list.*/

111 m3/min of hydrogen measured at normal conditions and nitrogen at a 300% excess enter an isobaric reactor. The inlet gases at 490°C are reacted in the presence of a catalyst to synthesize ammonia. The process has an efficiency of 33%. The exhaust gases are cooled to -40°C to condense the ammonia. Assume that the Cp of the gas phase species can be used in the temperature range, and that Cp NH3 (l) = 0.071938 kJ/mol K. Calculate the overall heat flow of the system in kW.

Innovation is the driving force in development; without innovative entrepreneurs we would not have most of the tools and services that provide many of us with prosperity today. From birth control to the internet, innovation has fundamentally changed the world. Despite this, most of the work on understanding the process of innovation and its relationship to public policy has been conducted in economies at more advanced stages of development. In fact, the importance of innovation is often downplayed for developing countries.
Discuss the conditions under which entrepreneurs in developing countries innovate.
