(1) Trophic Cascades in theSerengeti. Watch Dr. Cox's video on "What Rinderpest eradication taught us about the Serengeti", which can be found in the Instructor Insights folder for this week. Then address the following questions: (a) How did eradication of Rinderpest from East Africa increase both the tree and giraffe populations in the Serengeti? (b) How did eradication of Rinderpest from East Africa increase the population of predator species in the Serengeti? (c) What does this tell us about ecosystems?

(2) Biomes. The term "biome" is described in the textbook. For this topic, describe the biome where you grew up (or where you currently live). Identify your location, the biome of the region, and describe the major characteristics of that biome. Add enough detail and commentary from your own experience, so that your answer is 125 words or more. If you're really ambitious, you could consider looking up the "ecoregion". The EPA maintains information about that.

(3) Shrinking Red Knots. Read two of the following three articles: Briggs (2016); Dussault (2016); Zimmer (2016). (A) In your own words summarize the basic story that the articles have in common. (B) Of the two articles you read, which of them do you prefer? Why?

A 16-year-old primigravida delivers a baby girl at 35 weeks. The baby was born by cesarean section due to placenta abruption. Upon assessment of the newborn, the nurse notices that the baby appears irritable and tachypneic with a shrill cry, decreased Moro reflex, and frequent sneezing.

The nurse is concerned about the newborn. No prenatal care was documented. The adolescent mother denies taking illicit drugs, alcohol, and smoking cigarettes. (Learning Objectives 12, 14)

Answer the following questions based upon the information above:

1. What assessment criteria signals a red flag and why?
2. What nursing interventions, if any, do the newborn and the new mother need?

If so, explain briefly whyit is, if not, modify the problem so that it is a problem for 1/3 • 1/4 .(b) Is the cookie word problem a problem for 1/3 + 1/4 ? If so, explain briefly whyit is, if not, modify the problem so that it is a problem for 1/3 + 1/4 .

A few years ago Nike entered into a long-term agreement with Red bull that included, among other things, joint promotions. From Nike’s perspective, and from your information about the two brands, was this the right decision? Is there any downside? Please explain by using relevant marketing insights

Design an experiment that tests the effect of body temperature on the aerobic capacity in an animal of your choice. What variables would you measure, and how? Include detail about experimental design and instrumentation, to show your understanding of how data are acquired. Present hypothetical data (in graphical form), which support your predictions. Make sure to label your graphs accurately and precisely, and use reasonable values (and units) for parameters measured.

Please explain and write out clearly!

Soap bubbles appear to be a mixture of red and green colors when sunlight strikes the wall of a soap bubble at nearly normal incidence (red 700 nm, green 500 nm).
a) Explain how the soap bubble can look both red and green at the same time. In your explanation, answer whether this is due to constructive or destructive interference.
b) What is the thickness of the bubble wall if the inex of refraction of the bubble is 1.35?

ASSIGNMENT 1

TOPIC: INTRODUCTION OF FLUID MECHANICS

QUESTION 1: 10 MARKS

In your own words, explain what have you learnt from fluid mechanics course.

QUESTION 2: 40 MARKS

Refined crude oil has been used to lubricate moving parts in a wide variety of machines and engines. These petroleum-based lubricants are extracted from natural crude oil, and must be refined, desalted, dewaxed, and distilled from crude feedstock. However, recently, engineers are moving towards non-petroleum based lubricants or known as synthetic lubricants. Obtain information about non-petroleum based lubricants and summarize your findings in a brief report by following the format given below. The report should contain minimum 1500 words (excluding figure and table title and content, references)

QUESTION 3: 50 MARKS

It is predicted that nanotechnology and the use of nano sized objects will improvise many processes and products. Among new new nanotechnology areas is that of nano scale fluid mechanics or known as nanofluid. Fluid behavior at the nano scale can be entirely different than that for the usual everyday flows. Obtain various information of nano fluid mechanics and summarize your findings in a brief report by following the format given below. The report should contain minimum 1700 words (excluding figure and table title and content, references)

5.         A spokesperson for the Mars Company stated that MM’s are produced in the following color proportions:

            15% Brown, 15% Yellow, 20% Blue, 15% Red, 20% Green, and 15% Orange. To test this claim a Math 15

            class at SRJC randomly selected 928 MM’s. The results appear below. (These are actually the results

            we saw from the Handout 4 assignment last semester). Test the claim at a = 0.5  (2,2,3,3)

a.         State the Null and Alternative hypotheses.  (2)

            b.         Assuming the Null Hypothesis is correct, find the expected values. (2)

c.         State and label the test statistic. Show at least two parts of summation. (3)

d.         What is the conclusion about the claim and how you made the decision? (3)
