Many human resource departments and investment advisors tend to direct employees to “target funds” for retirement. For example, if you will be 65 in 2030, you might be directed to place your monies in the “target fund for 2030” if you don’t have other ideas for your 401-k plan. What are the pros and cons of targeted funds? In 200 words or more, please give us your answer.

President Trump passed an executive bill, banning Chinese airplanes from landing in America, and Chinese Post Graduate students from studying in America. As Chinese tourists and students contribute greatly to the US economy, how do you think this law by President trump will affect US productivity and economic growth? Comment particularly on human capital, physical capital, technology, natural resources, and labour

Within several hours after death, human bodies enter a state called “rigor mortis,” where the muscles continue to contract and the tissues of the body “stiffen.” The muscles remain contracted for several days, persisting up until the point at which myofibrils in muscle cells begin to decompose. Given your knowledge of how muscles cells contract, provide a molecular explanation for this phenomenon of rigor mortis.

1. Compare and contrast the methods of Principle Components Analysis vs. admixture analysis (i.e., the ADMIXTURE computer program) in the analysis of modern and ancient human DNAs. Describe the mathematical steps used to perform each of these methods, and what we can learn from the results. Why do many authors use both methods? What assumptions or limitations (if any) are required by each of these methods?

A hard-working associate says to a senior manager, "Our unit just got the bill for human resources. It was huge! We had to pay for the mandatory training for our new supervisor, plus the annual HIPAA, harrasment, and disaster management training. Why do we have to pay for this? How do we know we're getting a fair price?" How does the senior manager respond?

The largest human DNA molecule is a double helix consisting of two complementary polynu- cleotide chains, each chain in turn being made up of about 250 million linked nucleotides (i.e., 250 Mbp). Given that the average molecular weight of a nucleotide is about 325 g/mol and that there are 2.2 pounds in one kilogram, show the calculation of the mass in pounds of one mole of this DNA molecule.

The molecular target, a protein that allows entry of the novel coronavirus into infected cells, has been identified. Describe in at least three paragraphs the biological function of the target of the novel coronavirus, in which types of human cells is this target found and which could be the relationship between this receptor and the mechanism of coronavirus disease. Suggest how this information could be utilized to develop a new antiviral drug against the novel coronavirus.

A sample of human brain volumes ​(cm3​) is given below. Use the given data values to identify the corresponding z scores that are used for a normal quantile​ plot, then identify the coordinates of each point in the normal quantile plot. Construct the normal quantile​ plot, then determine whether the data appear to be from a population with a normal distribution. 1067 1075 955 1415 1075 1050 1072 1033

10. (a) The persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that transport via atmosphere into the Arctic have their unique chemical signature. Explain this statement by comparing their chemical properties with POPs that stay near the source region and appropriate examples. (b) Describe the significance of the global distillation model in understanding the long-distance transport of POPs to the arctic. (c) What are the long-term ecological and human ramifications of POPs contamination in the arctic.

Technology management is concerned with development, planning, implementation, and assessment of technological capabilities within an organization or entity. A simple way to think of it is management of the use of technology for human advantage.  

What, in your opinion, are the most important aspects of technology management and why? Write a 200 word minimum summary of your thoughts with rationale for your assertions.

Use and include a minimum of two external sources for your assessment.
