1. As a potential worldwide pandemic, avian influenza H5N1 (commonly called the bird flu) poses a serious health risk. As of January 24, 2012, there have been 583 human cases of this virus in the world. Of these cases, 344 resulted in death.(Source: http://www.who.int/csr/disease/avian_influenza/en/) Consider the outcomes of these cases as a random sample of all possible outcomes.

a) Find a point estimate for the proportion of people who would die if infected with the bird flu.

b) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of cases that would be expected to result in death if a pandemic occurred. Interpret the interval.

7. How would you carry out the following analyses? Describe the necessary sample preparation steps and your choice of appropriate analytical instrumentation:

a. Simultaneous determination of Pb, Zn, Cr, and Cd in crops grown in soil treated with sewage sludge.

b. Determination of pesticide residues in apples.

c. Determination of Pb in human plasma.

d. Determination of SO₄^-2, NO₃^-, and PO₄^-3 in compost to be used for lawn fertilizer.

e. Screening for gasoline contamination around underground storage tanks.

f. A simple field test for detection of PCBs at a contaminated land site.

A 70 kg (154 lb) adult requires a calorie intake of 2,000 kcal (8,360 kJ) of food per day. The food is metabolized and the free energy is used to synthesize ATP for useful work. The efficiency of converting food energy into ATP is 50%.
1) Calculate the mass of ATP used by an adult human in 24h.

(ATP formula weight = 505 g/mol, DG'° = -30.5 kJ/mol)

2) If ATP is present at 5 mM inside cells, and if the intracellular volume corresponds to about 25% of an adult mass, how frequently is an ATP molecule hydrolyzed and rephosphorylated, on average?

Compare and contrast two genetic or developmental disorders. Discuss the treatments and advance technologies offered to assist individuals that were not available in the past years. 230-250 word discussion on this topic please avoid plagiarism please cite words, give reference this is pathophysiology class ( human disease 5th addition ) Examples cardiovas- Congenital heart failure, Atrial septal defect, ventricular spetal defect, patent ductus arteriousus, coarctation of the arota. Examples Blood - cell anemia, hemophilia, Examples Digestive- Cleft lip palate, pyloric stenosis, phenylketonuria (PKU), hirschsprung's disease.

1. What role does biology play in understanding Psychology? Students will express an understanding of how both the Evolutionary Theory; the body’s systems (e.g.  nervous, endocrine, and limbic systems); and Nature vs. Nurture along with the new theory of Epigenetics help us explain human behavior.
2. What are the particular functions of one side of the brain as compared to the other hemisphere?

2. From a vantage point very close to the track at a stock car race, you hear the sound emitted by a moving car. You detect a frequency that is 0.852 times smaller than that emitted by the car when it is stationary. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the speed of the car?

3.Hearing damage may occur when a person is exposed to a sound intensity level of 90.0 dB (relative to the threshold of human hearing) for a period of 9.00 hours. An eardrum has an area of 2.71 x 10^-4 m². How much sound energy is incident on the eardrum during this time?

From the options listed below, choose ALL correct answers. (There may be more than one.)

In the hunt to identify HTT, the disease-causing gene for Huntington’s disease (HD), it was discovered that human haplotypes A and C were highly associated with HD.

The DNA sequence variants geneticists used to detect haplotypes A and C were:

a) Extra repeats of a CAG codon located in the HTT gene

b) Single-nucleotide polymorphisms located near the HTT gene

c) Causal for Huntington’s disease

d) Not causal for Huntington’s disease

e) Located in the same chromosome region as one another

2. Evaluate the following statements and explain whether they are true, false or uncertain:(a) According to the Ben-Porath model discussed in class, it is not optimal to work for several years after graduation and reenter school at older ages.(b) According to the Ben-Porath model discussed in class, the marginal cost is equal to marginal benefit of human capital investment when t > t∗.(c) According to the Ben-Porath model discussed in class, the marginal benefit of investing inhuman capital decreases over time because older people have lower ability to learn.

this is a labor market economics question

it is just simple discussion, please don't copy from any website. I need at least 2 paragraph. Thanks

Discussion The Five Major World Religions

VIDEO LINK=======> https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=m6dCxo7t_aE

This video discusses and gives a background of the 5 Major Religions of the World. After watching the video Please post on the following questions.

It appears that religion has been around in one form or another for most of human history. Do you think it is getting stronger, dying out, or staying about at the same level of importance? Why?
