Case Study:

Adam is a 6-year-old boy who dove headfirst in the shallow end of a swimming pool. Unable to move, he sank to the bottom of the pool and was rescued by his mother. His father called the emergency medical services (EMS) while the mother provided mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The EMS arrived and continued the resuscitation and placed him in a cervical collar. Adam was placed on a backboard and began to breathe on his own while en route to a trauma center. The neurologic assessment revealed paralysis of the upper and lower extremities, and cervical spine x-ray images and a magnetic resonance image (MRI) confirmed a C6-C7 complete transection injury. The patient was intubated before going into surgery for decompression of the injury.

1. Into what types of shock could the patient go? What symptoms did the patient exhibit?

1. Mendel crossed peas with round, green seeds with peas having wrinkled, yellow seeds. 100% of the F₁ plants had seeds that were round and yellow.
Predict the results of test-crossing these F₁ plants.

2.

Identical twins are produced from the same sperm and egg (which splits after the first mitotic division), whereas fraternal twins are produced from separate sperm and separate egg cells. If two parents, one with brown eyes (a dominant trait) and the other with blue eyes (the recessive trait) produce one twin boy with blue eyes, what is the probability that a fraternal twin will transmit the blue eye allele to his or her offspring? Answer as decimal

a)Briefly explain five differences between moral standards and legal standards (you may use table format).

b) In 2014, a Malaysian couple was charged in Sweden for allegedly abusing their four children. The case involving Azizul Raheem Awalludin and Shalwati Nurshal, surfaced after a teacher of the couple’s son discovered that he and his siblings were caned for misbehavior. The 12 years old boy had confessed to his teacher that they have been caned with a hanger, carpet beater and/or cane (rotan) as punishment for misbehaving (refusing to pray, among other things). Swedish authorities swiftly acted, placing the couple on remand- Azizul and Shalwati faced up to six years in jail if convicted. Meanwhile, back in Malaysia, people’s reaction to the case was more concerned with ‘saving face’ rather than saving the children, all of whom were understandably frightened and confused by this devastating disruption in their lives.

Case Study: Muscular Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription

Harold is a 40-year-old biology professor who teaches at the university and does research on cellular aging of skeletal muscle in dogs. Harold weighs 180 lb (81.6 kg). He recently purchased a new townhome that requires very little household or yard maintenance. His primary recreation consists of playing chess, reading, and playing classical guitar. For physical exercise he regularly puts the garbage out on Monday, presses remote control buttons for the TV and CD player, and rides his bicycle to work (2 miles [3.2 km] round-trip) 5 days per week. His research on aging prompted concern about his own muscular fitness. He contacted you to assess his strength and to design a resistance training program to increase his strength in an attempt to retard the degeneration of his muscular system. The results of his strength assessment were as follows:

Question

Harold's goal is to improve strength. If you were to design a resistance training program for him that uses free weights and exercise machines (Table 7.3 and Table 7.6), what would week 1 of the program entail. Be sure to complete this in the table below (it is not necessary to use the entire table below to complete week 1 of his program). How will you know when it is time to increase Harold’s resistance?

Facility financing is a challenge, particularly for professional teams. St. Louis just went through a painful process of offering the NFL and owner Stan Kroenke’s Rams an option for a nearly $1 billion new stadium on the banks of the Mississippi River. Of course, Kronenke and the NFL ultimately decided to move the Rams back to Los Angeles (where the franchise moved from in 1995), and Kroenke is paying $3 billion of his own money to build a new stadium. Right now, St. Louis is debating the use of public funds to build a new MLS stadium for a franchise that has yet-to-be-awarded to the city. Using www.theatlantic.com, find and read at least one article on the concept of public facility financing. Then post a brief (5-line) summary of the article (be sure to include the title, the author, and a link), followed by your reaction. Consider also: Why do you think cities agree to give huge tax breaks to teams or go into significant debt to build sports facilities? Are these good deals for taxpayers? Why or why not? Should cities like St. Louis, which struggles to fund municipal services like police, fire, and schools, offer these benefits to professional teams?

Time series are particularly useful to track variables such as revenues, costs, and profits over time. Time series models help evaluate performance and make predictions. Consider the following and respond in a minimum of 175 words:

• Time series decomposition seeks to separate the time series (Y) into 4 components: trend (T), cycle (C), seasonal (S), and irregular (I). What is the difference between these components?
• The model can be additive or multiplicative.When we do use an additive model? When do we use a multiplicative model?
• The following list gives the gross federal debt(in millions of dollars) for the U.S. every 5 years from 1945 to 2000:

Year    Gross Federal Debt ($millions)

1945    260,123

1950    256,853

1955    274,366

1960    290,525

1965    322,318

1970    380,921

1980    909,050

1985    1,817,521

1990    3,206,564

1995    4,921,005

• Construct a scatter plot with this data. Do you observe a trend? If so, what type of trend do you observe?
• Use Excel to fit a linear trend and an exponential trend to the data. Display the models and their respective r^2.
• Interpret both models. Which model seems to be more appropriate? Why?
