"Where there is no human connection, there is no compassion. Without compassion, then community, commitment, loving-kindness, human understanding, and peace all shrivel. Individuals become isolated, the isolated turn cruel, and the tragic hovers in the forms of domestic and civil violence. Art and literature are antidotes to that." ~ Susan Vreeland

What is your interpretation of the quote above? Do you agree or disagree with Vreeland? Explain Why? or Why not? Do you believe that art and literature are antidotes to the cruelty of life and the human condition? How?

In music, middle C has a frequency of about 256 Hz - the precise frequency depends on the tuning scheme. How does the wavelength of a middle C note propagating through air compare to the size of a typical human body? How does the wavelength of the same note propagating through water compare to the human body? What frequency of sound in air has a wavelength nearly the size of a human head? This size is important because we have diminished ability to determine the direction to a source of this tone.

For an average human, the actual values of the densities of the fat and lean tissues are ρ_f = 0.9 g/cm³, and ρ_l = 1.1 g/cm³ respectively (fat tissue =ρ_f and lean tissue =ρ_l). 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.

HINT:

• What are the maximum and minimum possible densities of a human? Is it possible for objects with each of these densities to be suspended in (as opposed to floating on top of) water?

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...?

Select one:

a. Puma

b. Bcl-2

c. IAPs

d. p53

e. Bak

If the human body requires daily energy that comes from metabolizing 816.0g of sucrose, C12H22O11, using the following reaction: C12H22O11+12O2--> 12CO2 +11H2O+energy. How many grams of carbon dioxide are produced by a human being?

Human female heterozygotes are unaffected carriers of autosomal recessive diseases. Explain in one paragraph (4-6 sentences) why human female heterozygotes can express mild-to-moderate forms of recessive X-linked disorders.

Human Babesiosis is an apicomplexan parasite similar to the parasites that cause malaria. Able to infect either humans or livestock, what is unique to the transmission cycles for human or veterinary transmission? How do these parasites produce disease-causing symptoms?
