The population of a small town was 20,000 on January 1st, 2010 and has grown at a rate of about 2% per year since then. Next year, the local high school is closing and this is likely to affect the population of the town as people move away to towns with more schools.

(a) Write down a model of the population of the town for the years 2010 to 2019. Carefully define any variables you use and state any assumptions you make.

(b) Calculate the expected size of the population on January 1st 2020.

(c) The town council wants to work out what will happen to the population once the school closes. They are considering three possible effects:

• Half the families with children of high school age will move out of town immediately. There are 1200 people in families with children of high school age in 2019.

• 10% of the population will move away each year, starting in 2020, because of decreasing opportunities for work in the town resulting from the school closure.

• 100 people who do not like children will move to the town each year once the school has closed and families start to leave. Explain how you would modify the model you wrote down in part (a) to model the population from 2020 onwards. Take account of each of the three effects. Carefully state any assumptions you make.

(d) Use dfield and your model from part (c) to estimate the size the population of the town on January 1st 2025. Include an appropriate printout from dfield to support your answer.

(e) What do you think will happen to the population of the town in the long term? Include an appropriate printout from dfield to support your answer.

Human Physiology

1. Describe the pathway of filtrate flow through the urinary system, beginning at the renal corpuscle and ending with elimination from the body. Include in your description the locations where the three major processes occur, and the names and locations of the associated capillaries.
2. Describe the events that lead to micturition (urination), including the effect of the nervous system on the muscles involved.
3. Explain the concept of transport maximum. Under what scenario would glucose appear in the urine?
4. Explain in detail the process that establishes and maintains the medullary osmotic gradient in the kidneys. Then describe the effect this osmotic gradient has on the water in the renal tubules.
5. Explain what conditions stimulate the release of ADH by the posterior pituitary. Then describe in detail the effect of ADH on cells lining the collecting duct.
6. Describe the effect aldosterone and ANP have on sodium levels in the blood.
7. Describe the process by which ingested proteins and carbohydrates are digested, absorbed, and transported into the bloodstream. Then contrast this with the process pertaining to the digestion and absorption of dietary fats (lipids). Include an explanation as to why lipids are processed differently from hydrophilic molecules.
8. Explain the functions of the stomach and describe the features that make it uniquely adapted to its function, including the function of cells located in the gastric pits.
9. Describe the 28-day ovarian cycle (follicle phase & luteal phase), beginning with the development of primary follicles and ending with degeneration of the corpus luteum. Include in your description the role of granulosa cells, theca cells, and the zona pellucida.
10. Describe the pathway that sperm travel during ejaculation, beginning in the testes and ending at the penis. Then name and describe the function of the accessory glands involved in the process.
11. Explain the function of Leydig cells and Sertoli cells in the development of sperm inside the testes.
12. Describe in detail the steps that lead to inflammation, beginning with the introduction of pathogens into a wound, and ending with the formation of a clot. Include in your description the types of cytokines released and the various leukocytes involved. (10 pts.
13. Explain what happens during lymphocyte maturation to ensure B and T lymphocytes do not attack healthy body cells. Include the site of maturation for B cells and for T cells.

your own words, describe how routing tables are used, include their properties and routing protocols.

your own words, describe what multicast processing is. What does the MAC Address look like? Discuss the 2 main methods the switch uses to process these, include thoughts on when you would use the various processing methods.

your own words Discuss in detail why would you want to configure a network using a Virtual Local Area network (VLAN)? What are the potential drawbacks?

1. Write at least two sentences in your own words to explain the difference of using flexible boundary channel and the rigid boundary channel (based on the design considerations presented here).

2. Answer True or False and justify your answer:

    a. The rigid boundary channel is recommended for channels with very high velocities because it can easily resist the shear stress caused by the water flow.

    b. The trapezoidal cross section (with a value of m = 4 or more) is always more appropriate to be used instead of the rectangular channel in areas in which the neighboring land use restricts the channel top width.   

Data from the Motor Vehicle Department indicate that 80% of all licensed drivers are older than age 25. In a sample of n = 50 people who recently received speeding tickets, 33 were older than 25 years and the other 17 were 25 or younger. Is the age distribution for this sample significantly different from the distribution for the population of licensed drivers? Use α = .05

Identify the proposed analysis.
State your scales of measurement (e.g. nominal) for variables that will be used in the analysis.
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
State the test assumptions and make a decision.
State the inferential statistic and p-value.
Make a decision. Based on your decision, identify and explain the type of error you could be making.

Capital Allowance

1. Section 13 of the Income Tax Act in Jamaica layout 2 main criteria used to determine is an expense is allowable for tax purposes. Identify and explain these criteria.          

1. Distinguish between Depreciation and Capital Allowance and state the reason(s) which one is allowable or not. (1 mark)   
2. A business bought new equipment for $1,250,000 in year one and over three years capital allowances of $750,000 had been allowed. In year four (4) the equipment was sold for $375,000.

Calculate the balancing allowance or balancing charge of the business.           

java Programming Problem 2: Pez Candy

You may like the Pez candies and the wonderful dispensers that can be customized in so many ways. In each plastic container of Pez candy, the candies are of different colors, and they are stored in random order. Assume that you like the red candies only. Take a Pez dispenser, take out all candies one by one, eat the red ones, and put the others in a spare container you have at hand. Return the remaining candies in the initial container.

Your Tasks:

1. Create a class PezCandy in which you implement an array-based stack
2. Create a class PezCandyDriver in which you solve the problem as described above
3. Create an algorithm showing how you take out the candies, eat the red ones, and put them back in the container, in the original order. Place the algorithm, as a comment in the top of your PezCandyDriver file
4. Use an initial Pez dispenser with 12 candies, in which the colors of the candies are randomly chosen from: red, yellow, green, pink, blue.

   Hints

5. Run the program and capture a snapshot showing the initial content of the Pez container, and the content after you ate all red candies.
6. If you implement all the required methods properly, the driver program should generate outputs similar to the following:
