Water of varying density flows in an estuary, 5 meters deep. The density varies linearly from 1025 kg/m3 at the bottom to 1000 kg/m3 at the water surface. The velocity distribution is given by the equation, V = 8 - ((1/2)(z-4)^2) m/s, where z is elevation above the bottom.
a)Sketch (or plot using software such as Excel or Matlab) the density (ρ) profile, the velocity (V) profile, and the momentum (ρ V) profile
b)Find the two values of z for which velocity equals 7.5 m/s. Does the water have the same momentum at these points? Why or why not
C)Calculate the total momentum, ∫ ρ V d ∀ , for a volume of water 5 m deep, 1 m wide, and 1 m long.

You are studying myosin V, a class of myosin which can be used in cells to transport vesicles by “walking” along actin filaments, towards the plus ends of these filaments. You have identified a mutation in the gene for myosin V that affects its ATP binding site. This mutant myosin V (M) can still perform the entire cross-bridge cycle, but it takes much longer to hydrolyze ATP compared to a wild type myosin V (W).
a) Would the duration of the cross-bridge cycle be longer in M or W?Explain?
b) Would the duty cycle (the proportion of the cross-bridge cycle in which myosin is bound to actin) be longer in M or W?Explain?
c) How would this difference in duty cycle affect the ability of M to transport a vesicle along an actin filament? Explain.

1. a. Consider the following sequences, which are pieces of a larger, independently folding polypeptide. Which sequence is more likely to form an alpha helix, and which is more likely to form a beta-hairpin—a two-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet in which the strands are separated by a turn?
Sequence A: I F I C T T G P N A T V I C V F V
Sequence B: M D R L M E A M A K L D H L L A E
b. How do the structures of the residues I, V, and T versus L and M contribute to the conformational preferences of these two sequences?
c. Which residues likely form the turn between the stands in the beta-hairpin? Why are these residues suited for this structure?

1. For each of the following propositions construct a truth
table and indicate whether it is a tautology (i.e., it’s always
true), a contradiction (it’s never true), or a contingency (its
truth depends on the truth of the variables). Also specify whether
it is a logical equivalence or not. Note: There should be a column
for every operator. There should be three columns to show work for
a biconditional.
a) (P Λ ¬Q) ⇔ ¬(P ⇒ Q)
b) (¬? V¬?) ⇔ ¬(P Λ Q)
c) (P V Q) Λ ( ¬(? Λ Q) Λ (¬?))
d) (P ⇒ (Q Λ R)) ⇔ ((P ⇒ Q) Λ (Q ⇒ R))
e) (P ⇒ (Q ⇒ R)) ⇔ ((P ⇒ Q) ⇒ R) f) ((P V R) ⇒ (Q V S)) ⇒ ((P⇒ Q) Λ (R ⨁ S))

A DAG is a directed graph that contains no directed cycles.
Define G = (V, E) in which V is the set of all nodes as {v1, v2, ..., vi , ...vn} and E is the set of edges E = {ei,j = (vi , vj ) | vi , vj ∈ V} .
A topological order of a directed graph G = (V, E) is an ordering of its nodes as {v1, v2, ..., vi , ...vn} so that for every edge (vi , vj ) we have i < j.
There are several lemmas can be inferred from the definition of DAG. One lemma is: if G is a DAG, then G has a node with no incoming edges. Given the above lemma, prove the following two lemmas:
If the graph G is a DAG, then G has a topological ordering.
If the graph G has a topological order, then G is a DAG.

A photovoltaic module is used to supply constant 12 V that needed by a Tablet. Depending on insolation from the Sun, the photovoltaic module’s output voltage is changing between 18 V to 36 V (dc). Thus, a buck converter is used between the netbook and the photovoltaic module.
1) What is the duty ratio range of the dc/dc converter?
2) If the inductance of the buck converter inductor is 40 uH, what is the minimum switching frequency to limit the current ripple in the inductor to less than 1 A? 3) At constant 12 V, what is the minimum power consumption of the Tablet to keep the inductor current always continuous?
4) For the operation condition stated in 3), draw (not simulate and plot) the waveforms of i) switching status, ii)voltage cross the diode , and iii) inductor current; mark the values for each waveform
