1. A person is standing in a room maintained at 20 degrees of C at all times. The inner surfaces of the walls, floors, and the ceiling of the house are observed to be at an average temperature of 10 degrees C in winter and 25 degrees C in summer. Determine the rate of radiation heat transfer between this person and the surrounding surfaces if the exposed surface area and the average outer surface temperature of the person are 1.5 m^2 and 29 degrees C respectfully. The emissivity of human skin at these wavelengths/temperatures is 0.95. Now, If the person above were in a breezy room, how much additional energy would be lost via convection? The convection heat transfer coefficient is 6 W/m^2 K? (b) What percentage of the total is this? (Calculate this for summer and for winter.)

Germline mutations occur in sperm or egg and are heritable, whereas somatic mutations occur in non-germ cells and are not heritable. Imagine that you are working in a laboratory which is studying on tissue/cell specific mutation pattern. You have all the tools (such as cell culture, imaging, sequencing etc.) and materials (such as genomic DNA, tissue and primary fibroblast cells from a human individuals). By using a NGS analysis please set up experiments/pipeline, including which method/algorithm would you use to map your data and call the somatic and germline mutations. You should focus on the question “How can you distinguish between germline and somatic mutations ?” (Please indicate the steps/methods/algorithms only, No need to indicate the details).

Shaver Manufacturing, Inc. offers dental care insurance to its employees. A recent study by the director of human resources shows that the annual cost per employee had a normal probability distribution, with an average expense of $ 1,280 and an average dispersion of $ 420 annually. Based on the information obtained, we want to identify: what percentage of employees generated: more than $ 1,500 per year of dental expenses; between $ 1,500 and $ 2.00 per year for dental expenses; calculate the percentage that did not generate expenses for dental care; what was the cost of the 10% of employees that generated higher expenses for dental care. Use all the tools learned in the course and carry out the analysis required for the study detailing an individual sentence of interpretation for each situation.

Problem Two University tuition fees in Quebec are the lowest in Canada and has been among the lowest for the past 20-30 years. Use the human capital model to answer the questions below and assume that initial annual earnings for a CEGEP graduate is $40.000 while the corresponding earnings for a university graduate is $52,000. Further, assume CEGEP students graduate at age 20 (so the time horizon is 45 years) and at that age they decide to start working or continue their studies in university. The interest rate is 5% and university studies last 3 years. a) Calculate the present value (PV) of each option (CEGEP and University), using the assumptions above and assuming that CEGEP wages grow on average by 1.5% per year and university wages grow by 3%)

Ramasakhi Devi from India is 55 years old and had a cancerous tumour removed from her cheek. Then, she was informed that in order to receive necessary follow-up chemotherapy and radiation treatment, she would need to sign up for a clinical trial. Although the consent forms were in English and Hindi, Devi was illiterate. Her son tried to help but even he misunderstood the forms, and told his mother there was only one available treatment option in the trial instead of three. Moreover, Devi never understood that she could drop out and thought she had to finish the treatment regimen to be fully cured.

Question: Is it ethical to conduct experiments on human in this situation? Explain with reference to the Nuremberg code.

Respiratory system

2. Under resting conditions, approximately 25% of the oxygen is extracted from the oxygenated blood into the tissues to maintain their basal metabolic need.  Describe (with all the possible mechanisms) how an individual can increase the unloading of oxygen from the oxygenated blood into the working tissues during exercise.
