You are working on a company specialized in the “Internet of Things”. They design and redesign technological products that are going to be used at home. You are in charge of the team that works to improve the product’s Human-Computer Interaction. A new employee has been hired to join the HCI team. He is knowledgeable about the use of technology. However, this is his first time working with HCI. Since you are in charge of the team, you are especially interested that he completely understands and conceptualize HCI. Using your words, how would you explain (1) what is HCI, (2) what are conceptual models, and (3) the types of interaction?

With FAR Part 107, the regulation of UAS in U.S. airspace was launched. Similar situations are occurring in other countries and regulated airspace areas. As larger vehicles enter airspace in controlled flight areas, deconfliction and separation issues must be addressed. In your view, should vehicles be allowed to operate autonomously in the airspace, or should systems operators maintain continual command authority over the vehicles? From the human factors perspective, explain your viewpoint as it affects the safety of other aircraft, air traffic management, and cautions or limitations that should be considered. Take a position on this issue and explain your view.

1. Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to determine the ratio of base/acid in a formic acid-formate buffer with a pH of 3.00
2. Assume that the human blood buffer includes, at any one point, 0.00080 M carbonic acid and 0.0080 M hydrogen carbonate. What is the pH of 7.00 liter of blood under these conditions?
3. Metabolic acidosis results in the addition of excess acid to blood. How many moles of strong acid must be added to the blood in question 2 to bring the hydrogen carbonate/ carbonic acid ratio to the hazardous level of 5:1 and what would the pH be?

a. Draw a supply and demand curve. Label all axes and curves appropriately. Label the equilibrium point, the equilibrium quantity, and the equilibrium price. b. Explain what equilibrium in the market is and why there is a tendency toward it. (In other words, if the price of something is higher or lower than the equilibrium price, what forces (i.e., human behavior) push the price and quantity to equilibrium.) c. Illustrate and explain how equilibrium price and quantity change when either the supply or demand curve shifts: 1) an increase in Demand; 2) an increase in Supply; 3) a decrease in Demand; 4) a decrease in Supply.

Think about the elements of successful social movements that you have now seen employed by many historical interest groups; and consider, too, the common ways that all these movement "moments" are framed and mythologized by various media.
Discuss a connection you see between the reality -- or the portrayal -- of the civil rights movement, the g*y rights movement, and one of the global human rights initiatives.
Then discuss this reality or portrayal in terms of a current movement (like Times Up or March for Our Lives). Who are the organizers, the mobilizers, what are the key tactics, which moments are being framed as the sparks or the fuel?

1. One way to prevent "food insecurity" and promote nutritional health is to develop and operate a community garden that grows fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition to the traditional outdoor community garden, there is the possibility of employing an indoor gardening method that uses hydroponics (a water-based "soil") to grow certain fruits and vegetables throughout the year. In either case, resources are required to grow food.
Please list the principal non-human resources required to produce food indoors using hydroponics versus the traditional outdoor gardening method. Please list at least 3 capital and/or natural resources used in each method.

Write a respone to this passage
Deontological: action is considered morally good because of some characteristic of the action itself, not because the product of the action is good. Deontological ethics holds that at least some acts are morally obligatory regardless of their consequences for human welfare. Descriptive of such ethics are such expressions as “Duty for duty’s sake,” “Virtue is its own reward,” and “Let justice be done though the heavens fall.”(Encyclopædia Britannica. 2014)
Moral laws are general rather than fixed. Unlike the Divine Command theory of ethics, Natural Law ethics holds that morality is universal, not at the will of God but at the will of reason.

QUESTION 3
1. Describe the normal cellular functions of tumor suppressor genes and explain their roles in cancer. List all possible mechanisms by which tumor suppressor genes are inactivated and explain. Explain why loss-of-heterozygosity of a particular chromosome/chromosomal region in tumor DNA suggests the existence of a tumor suppressor gene in that region.
2. Why is pRB function compromised in human tumors through mutations of its encoding gene while the genes encoding its two cousins, p170 and p130, have virtually never been found to suffer mutations in the genomes of cancer cells?
