Identifying the Skeletons You are a scientist specializing in investigating skeletal remains at the Earth Museum of Natural History. In today's mail you receive a package of bones from some archeologists who have been hunting for the last known location of a famous explorer, Gabriela Molina, age 54, and her two assistants, Cordelia Kelley, age 28, and Ian Dumais, age 24. Included in the package are six well-preserved arm and leg bones, each of which is labeled. There is one radius (R1) and one ulna (U1); these are the two bones that connect the wrist and elbow. There are two humerus bones (H1 and H2). The humerus connects the shoulder and the elbow. There are two femurs (F1 and F2). The femur is the large bone in the thigh which connects the hip to the knee. The data chart, prepared by your assistant, indicates the length of each of these bones. These measurements can be used to estimate how tall the deceased individuals might have been. Based on ratios between bone lengths and body height, your assistant has calculated possible heights for the people whose bones you received. There is no evidence, however, to show whether the bones belonged to a man or a woman. Since the ratios of bone lengths to body height are different for men and women, the chart includes estimates for both genders. For example, H1 is 39.1 centimeters long, and so could have come from a man who was 186.2-194.2 centimeters tall, or a woman who was 183.2-191.2 centimeters tall. Dr. Molina was approximately five feet five inches tall. Her female associate, Dr. Kelley, was approximately four feet ten inches tall. Mr. Dumais was significantly taller, but your files do not list a specific height for him. (Remember to convert height to metric system units cm – centimeters)

Use the Heap class provided to implement a sort routine in a Main class where the user enters a series of values, each value is then pushed onto a heap, then the values are printed out in ascending order. public class Heap { public static final int SIZE = 1025; public Heap() { elt = new Element[SIZE]; lastLoc = 0; } public void push(String k, Object o) { if (!fullCheck()) { lastLoc++; elt[lastLoc] = new Element(k,o); int loc = lastLoc; while (loc > 1 && elt[loc].key.compareTo(elt[loc/2].key) < 0) { Element hold = elt[loc]; elt[loc] = elt[loc/2]; elt[loc/2] = hold; loc = loc/2; } } } public void pop() { if (!emptyCheck()) { elt[1] = elt[lastLoc]; lastLoc--; int loc = 1; while (2*loc <= lastLoc) { loc = 2*loc; if (loc < lastLoc && elt[loc +1].key.compareTo(elt[loc].key) < 0) loc=loc+1; if (elt[loc].key.compareTo(elt[loc/2].key) < 0) { Element hold = elt[loc/2]; elt[loc/2] = elt[loc]; elt[loc] = hold; } } } } public Object top() { return elt[1].payload; } public Object topKey() { return elt[1].key; } public boolean emptyCheck() { return (lastLoc == 0); } public boolean fullCheck() { return (lastLoc == SIZE-1); } private Element[] elt; private int lastLoc; }

Kay is the nurse supervisor of a small clinic located on the campus of a Midwestern college. In a single week, she treated fifteen students (ages 19-24) with similar symptoms. They each appeared at the student clinic in various stages of the development of a red macular rash. It seemed to start on the face and spread to the trunk and extremities. Each complained of having had a severe cold, including sore throat, headache, and cough, for a few days previously.
After observing tiny red patches with white centers on the oral mucosa, next to the molars, Kay made her diagnosis. She warned each student that their infection was extremely contagious and placed them in isolation. She also warned them of the need for strict bed rest because of the dangerous complications of this infection. Chemotherapy was limited to acetaminophen for comfort. Kay checked each student’s immunization record and found it complete and up-to-date.
QUESTION 1
Which of these is likely to be Kay’s diagnosis?

Scarlet Fever One of the infected students, Sara, shared a small apartment with two other students. However, they had left on a long weekend trip on Thursday and she did not develop rash until Saturday. These roommates would not "catch" the infection from Sara unless they returned to the apartment before the rash disappeared. True False |
