a) A manufacturing rm merges with another firm to vertically integrate forward into the production of selling of products so as to engage in price discrimination. Such a vertical merger will increase all consumerswelfare.

b) Two firms merge together, only if the transaction cost must be reduced.

c) Specic human capital is a barrier of vertical integration.

d) The benet of coordination gives rise to vertical integration.

e) Consumer surplus decreases after two rms merge with each other.

An isotonic saline solution is an aqueous solution that has the same value for osmotic pressure as human body cells. Isotonic saline contains 9.0 g of sodium chloride (NaCl, MW= 58.44 g/mol) per liter of solution. T= 37.0 c.

1. What is the molarity of sodium chloride is an isotonic saline solution?

2. What is the osmotic pressure (relative to pure water) of an isotonic saline solution? Give your final answer in units of atm.

• Consider this week's reading by Kotler, where he states that "... needs are not created by advertising, but are a basic part of human make-up" (1983, p.8)
• Do you agree with Kotler? Why or why not?

You are required to think deeply about these questions, and form an opinion whether you either agree or disagree with Kotler. We don't mind whether you agree or disagree, it's all about how you justify your position.

Calculate the molarity of each of the following solutions:

(a) 0.195 g of cholesterol, C27H46O, in 0.100 L of serum, the average concentration of cholesterol in human serum

(b) 4.25 g of NH3 in 0.500 L of solution, the concentration of NH3 in household ammonia

(c) 1.49 kg of isopropyl alcohol, C3H7OH, in 2.50 L of solution, the concentration of isopropyl alcohol in rubbing

alcohol

(d) 0.029 g of I2 in 0.100 L of solution, the solubility of I2 in water at 20 °C

The buyer bought a consignment of olive oils from the defendant seller. The sale contract was made on CIF term. The olive oils had been loaded on a ship, and had been insufficiently ventilated in hot weather while the ship was in port.

The olive oils arrived Turkey in damaged condition. The cargo was mouldy and they were unfit for human consumption. The buyer claimed for damages.

Who is going to be liable for the damage? Please answer the question,considering the Hague /visby rules.

Economists argue that some environments are more conducive to economic growth than others. One of the ways economists differentiate one environment from another is in terms of its institutions. An institution is “the rules of the game in a society or, more formally, the humanly devised constraints that shape human interaction: the rules and regulations, laws, customs, and business practices of a country.” Do you agree that institutions are conducive to economic growth? If so, how? Briefly discuss. Search entries or author

What is the resolving power of a 38 cm telescope?
________________________seconds of arc

What do two stars 1.5 seconds of arc apart look like through this telescope?

A spy satellite orbiting 340 km above Earth is supposedly capable of counting individual people in a crowd. Roughly what minimum-diameter telescope must the satellite carry? (Hint: Use the small-angle formula. Assume that a human is about 0.5 m from shoulder to shoulder.)

Human trafficking is more common than you may think, and as healthcare providers, we will want to be aware of the signs and know how to respond when we believe someone is being held against their will. Watch the video under "First Responders" in the link below. What are the signs to look for? Who can be a victim? What else should we know?

Thank you,

From the examples found within Chapter 2 of the text (Public Health Risk Assessment for Human Exposure to Chemicals by D. Kofi Asante-Duah ), select 2 carcinogens, 2 non-carcinogens, and 2 developmental toxins list the six chemicals and compose a short paragraph on why you chose those compounds.

PS. I dont not have the text for this question hence the name of the text in bracket in the question posted. Please help me out. Thanks!

Research Topic: Mood and Behavior:

1. Do certain foods/food components modify the gut bacteria so that the overall mood of the host (human) is changed?

2. Describe the metabolism of the foods/food components in the bacteria and explain what molecules are produced that are behavior-altering for the host.

3. Are there specific microbial profiles that are linked to depression or anxiety? Are there microorganisms that are shown to offset these behavior disorders and can be introduced through probiotics?

4. Is there a link between the serotonin levels in the body and specific phyla of bacteria in the gut?
