For an average human, the actual values of the densities of the fat and lean tissues are ρf = 0.9 g/cm3, and ρl = 1.1 g/cm3 respectively (fat tissue =ρf and lean tissue =ρl). Given these values, are there limitations on the body fat percentage of a human that can be suspended in a body of water? Explain your thoughts and calculate the limits if any.

In the Blade Runner universe, replicants are bioengineered androids that are virtually identical to humans. The “Voight-Kampff” test is designed to distinguish replicants from humans based on their emotional response to test questions. The test designers guarantee an accuracy rate of 90%. In other words, they guarantee that if a replicant is subjected to the test, then the test will correctly label them as a replicant with probability q = 90%. With the remaining probability, the test incorrectly labels the replicant as a human. Similarly, if a human is subjected to the test, then they will be correctly labelled as human with probability q = 90%, and with the remaining probability they will be incorrectly labelled as a replicant. A subject, Leon, is suspected to be a replicant. Your prior probability that Leon is a replicant equals p = 75% and with the remaining probability 1 − p = 25% you suspect Leon is a human. (a) What is the probability that if Leon takes the Voight-Kampff test, the test will label him as a replicant? (b) Leon is subjected to the Voight-Kampff test, and the test labels Leon as a replicant. What is your posterior probability about whether Leon is a replicant or not? (c) Another subject, Deckard, is also suspected to be a replicant, and your prior probability is that Deckard is a replicant with probability p1 = 10% and human with probability 1 − p1 = 90%. Deckard takes the test, and is labelled as a human. What is your posterior probability about Deckard?

Scenario 2.
Normally viruses infect a host cell, replicate themselves inside it
and burst the host cell so that they can go on infecting other
cells. In this viral infection, the virus has stopped the normal
apoptotic pathway to allow themselves to stay within the cell
indefinitely – a phenomenon known as latency. Further studies on
this virus has shown that the virus encodes inhibitors of caspase 8
activation.
Scenario 2 describes the development and maintenance of a latent viral infection, allowing the virus to persist in the host cell. If we assume that the infection has already developed latency in the patient (i.e. the person is already infected and the virus is persisting in the cell), which of the following methods would be the MOST APPROPRIATE method to eradicate the virus from the host cell and stop the latent infection?
Select one:
a. Develop a vaccine against the virus, which enhances apoptosis
via the intrinsic pathway
b. Block viruses from inserting their nucleic acids into a host
cell
c. Upregulate the expression of DISC assembly proteins
d. Promote the release of cytochrome C in all cells
Scenario 3. Parkinson’s disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterised by uncontrollable tremors and muscle rigidity. Studies have linked Parkinsons disease with mutations in several different genes, one of which is PINK1. Studies have shown that in PINK1 deficient human and mouse neurons there was an increase in cytochrome C release from the mitochondrion.
Scenario 3 describes the development of Parkinson's disease in neurons due to the accumulation of mutations in PINK1 (as well as other genes). Based on your knowledge of cell death, the function of PINK1 is most similar to that of...?

a. Puma
b. Bcl-2
c. IAPs
d. p53

“Universal Declaration of Human Rights”
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,
Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,
Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,
Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
Whereas the Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,
Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,
Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.
