The most important use of gross domestic product (GDP) is as an indicator of economic growth, living standards, and the economy’s position on the business cycle. Although GDP information can be very enlightening, its measurement of economic activity is not perfect.in  one paragraph, addressing the following:

1. What are some shortcomings of GDP information? Does it tell us everything we need to know? Justify your answer.
2. What does the measurement fail to include? Or does it include everything we need to measure within the economy?
3. Is GDP a sufficient measure of human welfare or the quality of life? Explain.
4. Pose a question to the class about GDP. Make it an insightful one that can start a discussion.

Identify Fixed and Variable Costs

Intuit Inc. develops and sells software products for the personal finance market, including popular titles such as Quickbooks® and TurboTax®. Classify each of the following costs and expenses for this company as either variable or fixed to the number of units produced and sold:

1. A 100 g ice cube at -10?C is placed in an aluminum cup whose initial temperature is 70?C. The system comes to an equilibrium temperature of 20?C. What is the mass of the cup in kg.

2.Radiation from the head is a major source of heat loss from the human body. Model a head as a 20-cm-diameter, 20-cm-tall cylinder with a flat top.If the body's surface temperature is 36 ?C , what is the net rate of heat loss in units W on a chilly 6 ?C day? All skin, regardless of color, is effectively black in the infrared where the radiation occurs, so use an emissivity of 0.97.

7. Use the Product Rule and the Sum Rule to determine each of the following probabilities:

• Mendel mated Yellow Round peas (YYRR) to Green Wrinkled peas (yyrr), then performed an F1 selfcross (YyRr x YrRr). What is the probability that an F2 pea chosen at random is heterozygous for both genes?
• From the YrRr x YyRr self cross: What is the probability that an F2 pea chosen at random is heterozygous for the Y gene OR the R gene?
• Cystic Fibrosis is a Mendelian recessive genetic disorder in humans. 5% of the human population is a carrier for CF. What is the probability that two CF carriers will mate?

What is the probability that two CF carriers will mate, AND that they will have an afflicted child?

The prevalence of obesity remains high and affects Americans of all ages. Review the following resource: • United States Department of Health and Human Services (2017). 2020 Topics and objectives: Nutrition and weight status (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Retrieved from: https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives/topic/nutrition-and-weight-status Initial Discussion Post: • Identify two (2) contributing factors to childhood obesity. • List three (3) ways the nurse could intervene to promote the nutrition and weight status objectives for Healthy People 2020. • Discuss why these objectives are important for individuals or communities. • Identify two (2) contributing factors to adult obesity.

Which of the following is mismatched concerning microscopy.

A) SEM: 3D representation of surface features of cells and other objects, individual components in microbial communities, microbial environment interactions

B) Confocal: uses laser light sources to scan differentially labeled specimens producing #D-like images assembled by a computer.

C) Darkfield: can visualize living spirochetes in wet mounts, motility of cells in wet mounts.

D) Differential Interference Phase Contrast: similar to phase contrast but adds prisms providing additional detail and quasi-3D effect

E) Limit of resolution human eye (conventional light microscopy): 0.2mm (2nm)

Please explain.

This is the time in the year where people are encouraged to receive a vaccination for influenza (flu). Flu in humans is caused by the influenza virus of which there are several strains. Strains A and B are the most important in causing flu in humans. Since strain A has been studied more, and A and B are similar, use strain A for your answers.

How does the flu virus enter human cells? This question refers to entering individual cells rather than entering the body.

How are the viral genes expressed? How does the virus get its own genes transcribed and translated in the host cell?

How do new progeny viral particles leave the host cell?

You

are the chief scientist of a crew tasked with travelling to a recently found habitable planet and setting up a colony there for sustained human life. This journey starts on a rocket fired from rest on a deep-space platform, where gravity is negligible. The rocket’s initial acceleration is 20.0 m/s2, it ejects burned fuel at a constant rate, and it ejects 1/12,000 of its initial mass ?0 in the first second. To arrive at the distant target planet in a timely manner, you need the rocket’s speed to reach 1.50 × 10−3?, where ? is the speed of light (3.00 × 108 m/s). What must the mass ratio ??/? be of the rocket in order to achieve this
