Two large containers A and B of the same size are filled with different fluids. The fluids in containers A and B are maintained at 0° C and 100° C, respectively. A small metal bar, whose initial temperature is 100° C, is lowered into container A. After 1 minute the temperature of the bar is 90° C. After 2 minutes (since being lowered into container A) the bar is removed and instantly transferred into the other container. After 1 minute in container B the temperature of the bar rises 10°. How long, measured from the start of the entire process, will it take the bar to reach 99.8° C? (Round your answer to two decimal places. Assume the final temperature being asked for is reached while the bar is container B.)

A controversial practice in conservation is the collecting of DNA from endangered animals and keeping it safe in various institutions so as to have a "stored bank" in case the animal goes extinct. One such project is the Frozen Ark Project. The "mission of the Frozen Ark Project is to collect, preserve and store tissue, gametes, viable cells and DNA from endangered animals. The project focuses on the thousands of animals that are threatened with extinction. Animal species are dying out at an unprecedented rate. The current round of extinctions is largely created by mankind, because of the increase in human populations and its effect on the planet’s ecosystems. Global warming is a major contributor to this destruction. Despite the best efforts of conservationists, thousands of extinctions are happening. This pattern is common across all animal groups, both vertebrate and invertebrate, and emphasizes the importance of collecting the genetic materials and cells of endangered animals before they disappear. The loss of a species destroys the results of millions of years of evolution. If cells are preserved, invaluable information about the species is saved. The Frozen Ark Project is not a substitute for conservation, but a practical and timely backup of genetic material for the good of, future generations" (https://frozenark.org/). Do you think this is a viable practice? Ethical practice? What are the positives and possible negatives of such 'frozen' projects?
Please write a one page reflection ("a page" means writing a single-spaced Word document with 1 inch margins, and 12 pt Times New Roman font).

• What is your preferred approach when having to solve complex problems?
• Sometimes it is very difficult to make a decision where there are number of alternatives available. Describe a situation where you found it difficult to choose between different alternatives? How did you eventually arrive at a decision?
• How do you decide which are the most important things to do in your job and which are the least important on a particular day/week
• Can you think of a recent example where you were under extreme pressure at work to produce results in a short time? Explain what steps you took to motivate yourself to be on time?

Without any controls, population growth would be exponential. However, this does not occur because there are population-limiting factors.Describe the growth pattern of populations growing in a limited environment..What is meant by density-dependent factors that affect growth Give three examples of density-dependent factors and explain how they affect population growth. Give one example of a density-independent (abiotic) factor that affects growth and explain why it is density independent.

Think about earthquake preparation. You have probably been bombarded with information from all sorts of government entities
A. Which scenario should someone in San Diego be more concerned about, a magnitude 8.1 on the stretch of the San Andreas Fault from the Salton Sea to San Bernardino, Wrightwood and Palmdale, or a magnitude 7.1 on the offshore portion of the Rose Canyon / Newport-Inglewood Fault (Dana Point to LaJolla)? Explain your answer.
B. What steps should you take to lessen the effects of an earthquake to you and your loved ones? Remember, you will be responsible for taking care of yourself for three days with no power, no cell service and streets impassible. Think about your furniture, your food and water supplies, medications, etc.
C. Just for fun, think about the worst place(s) to be when a big earthquake strikes. (I know that after the Northridge quake in 1994, I neither wanted to be on top of an overpass, nor stopped under one!)
