first, discussion about Essential Elements

Some elements are essential to our health, like oxygen that makes up carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and DNA. Mention another two elements (essential or non-essential) and discuss their function in our body and why they are important to the well-being of human body. Do not repeat other students answers.

Second, respond for this guy he said ( There are many important elements that make up our body. One of those elements is calcium. Calcium is important because it keeps our bones and teeth strong and healthy. This gives our body skeletal structure and protects our organs. Phosphorus is another important element in the body. It works in conjunction with calcium to keep bones and teeth strong and healthy. It is also needed in the body to make protein for growth, repair, and maintenance of cells and tissues. It is very interesting how the elements are at work in our body.)

Option 1 – How We Hear This activity explores how we hear and how the physical nature of the sound wave determines the quality of the sound experience. Structure of the Ear What are the three main regions of the ear and their associated parts? Briefly describe what happens inside the cochlea? Sound Waves & Frequency What are the three aspects of sound waves? Briefly describe each aspect. Which type of tuning fork would vibrate faster—a small, short one or a large, long one? How is frequency measured and calculated? Explain why longer sound waves lead to lower frequencies and why shorter sound waves lead to higher frequencies. The Theory of Sound Briefly describe the three theories relating to how we perceive pitch. Explain why no single theory can explain human perception of pitch from 20 to 20,000 Hz.

Social media provides an enormous amount of data about the activities and habits of people using social platforms like Facebook and Twitter. The belief is that mining that data provides a treasure trove for those who seek to quantify and predict future human behavior. A marketer is planning a survey of Internet users in the United States to determine social media usage. The objective of the survey is to gain insight on these three items: key social media platforms used, frequency of social media usage, and demographics of key social media platform users.

a.For each of the three items (key social media platforms used, frequency of social media usage, and demographics of key social media platform users listed), indicate whether the variables are categorical or numerical. If a variable is numerical, is it discrete or continuous?

b.Develop five categorical questions for the survey.

c.Develop five numerical questions for the survey.

People tend to trust numbers and statistics when they are presented with them. As the director of human resources for your city government, you receive a requested analysis of the number of sick days taken by the city staff. It says that in the last six months, men took more time than women, every employee took an average of 3 sick days over the six months, and two employees had gone out on short term disability. You have been asked to recommend a new policy regarding sick days, that may require employees to use vacation days after they use a certain number of sick days.

• Do you trust the data you have to make such a recommendation?

• What else should you know before you make a determination? Think: reliability and validity.

You’ve identified an antigenic protein unique to multidrug resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). You’d like to create a MRSA vaccine based on an in vitro transcribed mRNA. Several answers will be acceptable, since there are several technical approaches to carry out the same tasks. Specifically:

(1 pt) What molecular method could you use to clone the gene from S. aureus? (Name a specific approach from earlier in the course).

(1 pt) What will be the components of your IVT mRNA itself?

(1 pt) What steps could you take to reduce the immunogenicity of the IVT mRNA?

(1 pt) What is one way you might deliver the IVT mRNA into a patient?

(1 pt) You find that the S. aureus protein is poorly expressed in human cells. How could you change your

         mRNA sequence to boost ex

1. (i) How do you understand the four levels of measurement and give your own example?

(ii) A company’s human resources department recently selected a sample of fifteen people. They compared the employees’ performance rating (based on a 100-point scale) and the number of overtime hours the employees had worked in the past six months. The following SPSS output were recorded.

                                    Correlation

(a) What is the sample size for this problem?

(b) What is the value of correlation coefficient?

(c) Describe two variables that might exhibit such relationship? Explain your reasoning.

(d) Write down the null and alternative hypotheses.

(e) Which level is significant for this problem?

(f) State a conclusion for your test.

Sulfur compounds cause “off-odors”in wine, so winemakers want to know the odor threshold, the lowest concentration of a compound that the human
nose can detect. The odor threshold for dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in trained wine tasters is about 25 micrograms per liter of wine (μg/l). The untrained noses
of consumers may be less sensitive, however. Here are the DMS odor thresholds for 10 untrained students:

31 31 43 36 23 34 32 30 20 24

(a) Assume that the standard deviation of the odor threshold for untrained noses is known to be σ = 7 μg/l. Briefly discuss the other two “simple conditions,”
using a stemplot to verify that the distribution is roughly symmetric with no outliers.

(b) Give a 95% confidence interval for the mean DMS odor threshold among all students.

You have a patient with an aggressive tumor that needs treatment right away, but to determine the correct treatment you need to discover the cause of the cancer. You have two hypotheses to consider. (1) The tumor is caused by a viral oncogene consisting of an active viral gene fused with the coding region of the DVL1 gene (the human homolog of the Drosophila Dsh gene). (2) The tumor cells have two loss of function point mutations that alter the structure of the BRCA1 protein product and render the protein nonfunctional. Each type of tumor responds well to only one specific treatment.

a. What test or tests would you do to determine which is the correct cause of this tumor?

b. What results would you expect from your test or tests for each?

c. Explain to the patient (who is not a scientist) how these results have helped you decide which treatment to use.
