1. Provide a general definition for the concept of sensory adaptation. If you were a marketing manager for an air freshener company, why should you be concerned about sensory adaptation? At least two different household products are available in the marketplace that makes use of the phenomenon of sensory adaptation: Febreze’s NOTICEables. and Glade’s Lasting Impressions Air Freshener. Both products are air fresheners that use warmed oil to scent the air with fragrances. Explain, from a psychological standpoint, how this product works to support the claims made by the company. Be sure to include at least two features of human sensation or perception in your response.

Use the following information for the next five exercises. Two types of phone operating system are being tested to determine if there is a difference in the proportions of system failures (crashes). Fifteen out of a random sample of 150 phones with OS1 had system failures within the first eight hours of operation. Nine out of another random sample of 150 phones with OS2 had system failures within the first eight hours of operation. OS2 is believed to be more stable (have fewer crashes) than OS1.

a. Is this a test of means or proportions?

b. What is the random variable?

c. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

d. What is the p-value?

e. What can you conclude about the two operating systems?

Single Lane Bridge Problem : Java Threads

Given :

//Use ReentrantLock for mutual exclusion

import java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock;

public class bridge  {
    private final ReentrantLock myLock = new ReentrantLock();

    public bridge(){

    }

    public String cross(){
        myLock.lock();
        try {

            return "crossing the bridge";

        } finally {
            myLock.unlock();
        }
    }
}

public class lane extends Thread
{
    int cars;
    bridge Bridge;
    public lane(int Cars1, bridge Bridge1)
    {
        cars = Cars1;
        Bridge = Bridge1;
    }

    public void run(){
        for(int x=0;x

//Important clue :

<Thread-ID> waiting to cross

This means that this thread is now competing for the lock and will have to wait its turn.

- Once a thread has gained access to the critical section it should output:

<Thread-ID> crossing the bridge

- It takes different cars a different amount of time to cross the bridge, so your code should simulate this by sleeping for a random amount of time when accessing the critical section.

- Once a car has left the bridge, your program should output:

<Thread-ID> exiting

- Threads can enter the critical section in any order.

Create main such that the output is as follows :

Thread-0 waiting to cross

Thread-0 crossing the bridge

Thread-0 exiting

Thread-1 waiting to cross

Thread-2 waiting to cross

Thread-1 crossing the bridge

Thread-1 exiting

Thread-2 crossing the bridge

Thread-2 exiting

Please answer one of the following questions

1. Ungerleider and Mishkin’s experiments were developed after evidence indicated that specific cognitive problems are associated with damage to specific regions of the brain. Why was that evidence insufficient to show that that region controls that cognitive function? How were Ungerleider and Mishkin’s experiments designed to avoid this limitation?

2. Ungerleider and Mishkin designed different sets of experiments to study the different routes that visual information takes through the brain depending on the kind of information being processed. Describe one of the sets of experiments, including explaining how the experiment shows what path the information takes.

3. What is the justification for studying the algorithms of cognition? What are two aspects of cognition that cannot easily be captured without theorizing about the brain?

4. What are the four main features of artificial neural networks? What does studying them contribute to our understanding of cognitive processing?

5. Discuss in detail one feature of H.M.’s condition and explain how studying that feature has informed our broader understanding of the brain.

1. Suppose that you have a standard Solow model with production given by Cobb-Douglas function. Assume A = 1, s = 0.1, α = 1/3, and δ = 0.1.
   1. Solve for the steady-state level of capital per worker, k* (Hint: use dynamic formula for capital stock.).
   2. Create an Excel spreadsheet to compute the dynamics of the capital stock. Plot the evolution of capital stock for 10 periods (i.e., t = 1, 2, … , 10) using your result in part (a).
   3. Suppose that in period 11 the savings rate increases to 0.2 and stays there permanently. Use Excel to compute the dynamic adjustment in the capital stock per worker as a result of the change in the savings rate for periods t = 11, 12, …. , 150).
   4. Plot adjustment in the capital stock per worker for periods 1 through 150. What is the new steady-state level of k, which the capital stock approaches asymptotically? How many periods will it take for capital stock per worker to reach its new steady state level?

Select the lightest W10 section. Using Fy=50ksi and Fu= 65ksi to select trial sizes and check for Gross Section Yielding and Tensile Rupture. Assume the member is to have two lines of bolts in each flange. (use ASD method)

Pd - dead load = 225 ksi
Pl - live load = 150 ksi
L - member length = 28 ft
Bolt diameter = 7/8 in

Select the lightest W12 not W10.

Write a brief summary of the AIS used at your place of employment. If you are not currently employed, you may use a previous employer or interview an acquaintance about the AIS used at his or her workplace. If you have not been employed, interview a friend or family member. Assume you are an accounting manager at this organization and, reflecting on the concepts covered in this course, describe the changes that you would make to the internal control structure. If you would not make any changes, explain why. Consider the personal attitudes, values, and culture of your employees and organization.

In shorthorn cattle, the polled (hornless) condition is dominant over the horned condition. Heterozygotes produced by mating red and white cattle are roan-colored; and long legs are dominant over short. A homozygous red, polled, long-legged bull is mated to a herd of cows that are all homozygous for the alternative alleles at all three loci. a) What will the progeny look like? (1) b) When the F1 progeny are mated, what phenotypic combinations, and in what ratio, should be expected in the F1 if independent assortment occurs? (2)
