Impedance plethysmography is a technique that can be used to detect thrombosis--the presence of clots in a blood vessel--by measuring the electrical resistance of a limb, such as the calf of the leg. In a typical clinical setting, a current of 200 μA is passed through the leg from the upper thigh to the foot. The voltage is measured at two points along the calf separated by 13 cm.

Part A:

If the voltage measured is 17 mV, what is the resistance of the calf between the electrodes?

Part B:

If the average calf diameter between the electrodes is 12 cm, what is the average resistivity of this part of the leg?

Design an indirect IF protocol that could be used to detect the presence of antibodies to SARS CoV-2, the virus causing covid-19. Assume that the specificity of the antibodies from patients would be against epitopes on the spike proteins of the virus. Include both a description of the protocol and a diagram showing the steps of your protocol. (Draw the diagram, take a picture of it, and then insert that JPEG image into this word document).
The anticoagulant heparin is used for preventing blood clots of patients after surgery, and for the treat- ment and prevention of deep vein thrombosis.

A company claims to have invented a hand-held sensor that can detect the presence of explosives inside a closed container. Law enforcement and security agencies are very interested in purchasing several of the devices if they are shown to perform effectively. An independent laboratory arranged a preliminary test. If the device can detect explosives at a rate greater than chance would predict, a more rigorous test will be performed. They placed four empty boxes in the corners of an otherwise...
