1. (3pts) How would you describe the condition of respiratory acidosis? What would be the response within the respiratory system to this condition? What would be the response of the urinary system to this condition?

2. (2pts) What are the major buffer systems in the body?

3. (3pts) As you’re probably aware the human body is approximately 60% (with large individual variation) water. How is water distributed within the body? Be sure to address where it is found, what differences exist between location, and what forces act on water within the body to cause it to change location.

4. (4pts) What are the sources of water gain and loss in the body? What are they for sodium? How are they connected?

5. (3pts) A person has a tumor in the adrenal cortex that continuously secretes large amounts of aldosterone. What effects does this have on the total amount of sodium and potassium in her body?

6. (3pts) Describe the detection of and response to low blood pressure in the body. Be sure to place this scenario into the context of a homeostatic mechanism, and clearly identify the structures that act as receptors, integrating center and effectors. You should identify specific mechanisms of reaction and the systems involved.

The Scenario Imagine that you have graduated and are working for a large manufacturer in the United States. One of your firm’s largest departments is Customer Service. Approximately 475 people located in 5 cities in the United States are employed in the Customer Service Department. Upper management in your firm is considering relocating at least half of the positions (not the people) to India. If the firm chooses to relocate these jobs in Customer Service, approximately 250 people in the United States will be laid off. However, the company will be able to cut the costs of operating the Customer Service Department by 1/3. This is a significant saving for the firm! You have been appointed to a cross-functional team of managers to make three recommendations regarding this proposal. There are 5 managers on the team. They come from the following departments: Accounting, Human Resources, Customer Service, Production and Marketing. Your answer must be divided into 3 clearly marked sections: Critical Thinking; Business Ethics; Team Building 1. Did you offer a specific principle? 2. Did you explain an approach rather than a solution? 3. Is the principle clearly stated? 4. Did you elaborate on how the principle would be used?

1. Using ethics as a major guide for making and evaluating business decisions is only popular in the United States.

a. true

b. false

2. Ethical economics involves:
A. Transparency of underlying assumptions and the values embedded within any economic theory and policy prescriptions.  
B. Disclosure of any/all conflicts of interests or personal benefit of economic practitioners.  
C. Evaluating economic harm profiles to minimize the levels and types of harm done to the least amount of people.  
D. Limiting economic models to known facts, available resources, and reasonable value judgments when solving real-life problems.

3. Feminist economics:
A. Primarily considers gender inequality in terms of market inefficiencies, thereby an important policy goal is to improve market efficiency.  
B. Focuses not only on paid labor markets but also unpaid labor that takes place outside or hidden within market dynamics.  
C. Focuses on the natural differences between men and women and how economies can—and should—be structured to accommodate these natural differences.  
D. Combines a wide range of approaches such as human capabilities, environmental ecology, microfinance practices, and provisioning activities.

the results of a survey in which people from high income countries were asked to report their level of education (less than basic, basic and advanced) and whether they were employed or not. The results are in thousands and are for the 2016-17 period.

You work for a Human Resources firm interested in global employment trends. You randomly sample 30 employed people from high income countries and ask them about their level of education.

a) What is the probability that 24 or fewer of these people would have an advanced education? (Round to 3 decimals)

b) What is the probability that 3 or more of these people would have a less than basic education? (Round to 4 decimals)

c) What is the probability that at least 10 of these people would have a basic education? (Round to 2 decimals)

d) What's the expected number of employed people with a basic education (Round to the nearest integer)?

e) What does this data tell you about employment and education in high income countries?

Background information In this lab, you will test the hypothesis that the evolution of skull shape within the human lineage took place largely by changing the timing of events in development from a chimpanzee-like ancestor. The change in shape during development (that is, allometry) is a source of heritable variation that can lead to adaptive evolution. In this lab, we’re focusing on how morphology (the shape of an organism) changes through time instead of focusing on how genes change through time. However, these two biological disciplines are united in the study of evolutionary development, or “evo-devo” for short (Carroll 2005). Growth from fertilized egg (zygote) to adult involves a host of complex interactions among genes, molecules, and tissues. Subtle alterations in the timing of gene expression, especially for regulatory genes, can have far-reaching consequences that result in different adult morphology (Carroll 2005).

1. Read the of the above information, and then paraphrase the primary hypothesis you will test in this lab. Next, represent this hypothesis as a schematic (concept map), by drawing what you think the ancestral skull looked like and how the shape of the skull evolved in descendent species.

There are two major economic theories – Classical and Keynesian. Classical theory is closely aligned with what is popularly known as capitalism, while Keynesian theory forms much of the foundation for socialism.

4) Capitalism is based largely on the idea of individualism and liberty, or freedom. Individualists see the person and all their unique characteristics rather than their identification in certain groups. Capitalists also view human freedom as a high priority where individuals can largely responsible for determining their own success and choosing how to best live their lives. Please explain how capitalists incorporate the ideas of individualism and liberty into their ideas concerning the role of government in the economy. What are some of the good and/or bad consequences of trying to base economic policies upon such ideas?

7) Compare and contrast nations that have been largely capitalistic with that that have been more socialistic. Give an example of each and discuss some of the differences between the quality of life in those nations, particularly with respect to GDP per capita, economic freedom, medical care, the number of people who have been killed by their government, and the number of people who have been pulled out of poverty over time.

On February 6, 2013, Danial Farris filed a claim against International Paper Company (IP), alleging that IP failed to to pay vested vacation wages upon termination.

On May 30, 2014, IP field a third-party claim against Yeghia Bekiarian, a former managerial employee. IP argued that Bekiarian was responsible for the liability for vacation wages by not only promising Farris that he would be entitled to paid vacation, but then instructing human resources employees not to provide paid vacation for IP’s sales representatives, of which Farris was a member.

Bekiarian field an answer asserting that since the claim against IP arose from Bekiarian’s actions as an employee of IP, IP was required to reimburse and indemnify him.

[Daniel Farris v. International Paper Company, et ai., 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 143607.]

Do you think Bekiarian should be indemnified for his actions which led to Farris’s claims? Keep in mind that Farris did not include Bekiarian in his action against IP. How did the court decide on the third-party claim between IP and Bekiarian? What was the court’s reasoning?

For each type of sense-perception listed below, briefly state (in just a few sentences) how the results of that sense might be shown to be relative to the perceiver. (Brief short answer questions (just a few sentences for each is fine) about the relativity of the senses.)

In doing this, you can discuss any case of perceptual disagreement you like. For example, you could cite a difference between human and animal perception (e.g. night vision); or between individual humans (e.g. the color blind); or in the same perceiver at different times due to changes in situation and condition (e.g. drunk vs. sober); or between one sense organ and another (stick in water that feels straight but looks bent).

Protein and other biomolecules present special challenges for separation. One method for partial purification of proteins from cell extracts is ultrafiltration. Ultrafiltration membranes have pores that separate molecules by molecular weight, but the separation is not perfect. In this process, a batch ultrafiltration operation is performed to partially purify recombinant human DNase (rhDNase) protein from small-molecule contaminants.

A feed stream contains rhDNase (P), contaminants (C) and water (W); the mass fraction of rhDNase in this stream is 0.1%; the mass ratio of contaminants to rhDNase is 4:1. A diluent stream containing only water is added to the feed. The retentate consists of rhDNase, contaminants and water that do not pass through the filter; water makes up 99.8 mass% of the retentate and contaminants are observed to make up 50% of the dry mass. The permeate stream consists of contaminants and water that have passed through the filter; essentially no rhDNase is present. The unit is controlled such that the permeate is twice the mass of the retentate.

Develop a flowsheet for a 1000 kg feed and determine the total masses and the masses of each component in each stream. Look up any terms you do not understand.
