Anna and Jorge Peleo are in the middle of a bitter divorce. Anna’s attorney called Sam Blakely, a forensic accountant, because he suspected that Jorge was hiding assets from the divorce. Anna claimed that Jorge secretly owned a beach condominium on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. He had frequently traveled there on business trips, and about a year ago, she received a mysterious call from a woman living in Costa Rica. The woman claimed that she was Jorge’s ex-girlfriend and that he had bought a condo for her to live in. The caller seemed very angry because Jorge had left her for another woman and had thrown her out of the condo.

The alleged ex-girlfriend left only her first name (Nora). She did mention the city where the condo was located, but it was a long Spanish name that Anna could not recall.

Anna’s attorney deposed Jorge and asked him many questions about the girlfriend and the condo. Jorge claimed it was all crazy talk, and he completely denied any knowledge of a condominium or girlfriend.

During the 20 years of marriage, Jorge worked as the vice president of marketing for a large machine parts company. Anna knew only that he was very highly paid, but she had never worked or paid much attention to their finances. Now she feels she is completely at his mercy in the divorce.

Explain how you think Sam Blakely would proceed with his investigation.

Assuming that there is a secret condo in Costa Rica, what do you think Sam’s chances are of discovering it?

A mother brings her three-year-old son into the emergency room of a local hospital. The boy is crying hysterically. The mother says that earlier that day the boy was playing in the back yard with his older sisters. He had gone over to pick a rose off of a rosebush when he suddenly started screaming and crying. There is a region of swelling and redness on his arm and the doctor who examines him says that it looks like the boy was stung by a bee. On physical examination, he is afebrile, with a heart rate of 102 bpm, blood pressure of 90/62 mm Hg, and respiratory rate of 24 breaths per minute and has difficulty breathing. The doctor says that the boy appears to be having a severe allergic reaction to the sting, and he treats him with SC Epinephrine. The mother asks why her son’s arm is swollen and the Dr. says it is because of fluid accumulation.

1. Describe the process of inflammation that might have led to swelling? 2. Enumerate the mediators of pain, edema, and redness? 3. Describe the vascular and cellular changes during inflammation? 4. Mention the type of shock the child is presented with and Why epinephrine is an ideal choice in this setting and elaborate its mechanism of action? 5. Plot the Drug response curve (DRC) of Epinephrine (Agonist) with and without the presence of Beta-blocker (antagonist). 6. What type of hypersensitivity reaction is seen in this child? This type of hypersensitivity reaction is due to the crosslinking of which immunoglobulin on mast cell surfaces? 7. Which cytokines promote class switching of B lymphocytes to IgE?

JAVA Programming

(Convert decimals to fractions)

Write a program that prompts the user to enter a decimal number and displays the number in a fraction.

Hint: read the decimal number as a string, extract the integer part and fractional part from the string, and use the Rational class in LiveExample 13.13 to obtain a rational number for the decimal number. Use the template at

https://liveexample.pearsoncmg.com/test/Exercise13_19.txt

for your code.

Sample Run 1

Enter a decimal number: 3.25
The fraction number is 13/4

Sample Run 2

Enter a decimal number: -0.45452
The fraction number is -11363/25000

The output must be similar to the Sample Runs ( Enter a decimal number: etc.)


Class Name MUST be Exercise13_19

Are customers more loyal in the East or in the West? The following table is based on information from a recent study. The columns represent length of customer loyalty (in years) at a primary supermarket. The rows represent regions of the United States.

Less Than 1 Year 1-2 Years 3-4 Years 5-9 Years 10-14 Years 15 or More Years Row Total
East 32 56 59 112 77 121 457
Midwest 31 58 68 120 63 181 521
South 53 112 93 158 106 184 706
West 41 44 67 78 45 98 373
Column Total 157 270 287 468 291 584 2057

What is the probability that a customer chosen at random has the following characteristics? (Enter your answers as fractions.)

(a) has been loyal 10 to 14 years


(b) has been loyal 10 to 14 years, given that he or she is from the East


(c) has been loyal at least 10 years


(d) has been loyal at least 10 years, given that he or she is from the West


(e) is from the West, given that he or she has been loyal less than 1 year


(f) is from the South, given that he or she has been loyal less than 1 year


(g) has been loyal 1 or more years, given that he or she is from the East


(h) has been loyal 1 or more years, given that he or she is from the West


(i) Are the events "from the East" and "loyal 15 or more years" independent? Explain.

No. These events cannot occur together.No. P(loyal 15 or more years) ≠ P(loyal 15 or more years | East).    Yes. These events can occur together.Yes. P(loyal 15 or more years) = P(loyal 15 or more years | East).

The purpose of this study was to identify the performance variables
i.e. scoring, assists, and fouls that significantly contributed to
determine a NBA player’s salary. It was hypothesized that scoring
performance variables such as points per game; field goal, free throw,
and three point percentage would be significant contributors to player
salaries.

Medical Terminology

Article Review Assignment

The article review is an article that pertains to healthcare. The content of the article is described

in more detail later in this page. However, in general there should be about a one page summary

of the article and a one page commentary. The summary is a brief abstract or review of what the

article was about.

This should not include personal pronouns, just information about the

article. Points will be deducted for poorly written summaries. The commentary should be

about your personal experience, your field of study, or how the content will affect your

decisions

. There will be an Assignment tab opened (formerly called Dropbox) in which you can

submit the review.

Article 1:

Medical information, medical errors, documentation, or miscommunication

This article should be about documentation in healthcare or how medical information is

important. Current trends in research has uncovered the prevalence in medical errors that lead to

patient injury or death.

Article 2: Financial aspects in healthcare –

This article should be in regards to financial issues

in healthcare. This could include financial burdens on the healthcare system, data about

insurance systems, or ideas on future healthcare financial plans.
