Renin is an aspartyl protease that has a role in the regulation of blood pressure. The active site has two aspartyl residues, one acting as an acid (pK1 5.0) and the other acting as a base (pK2 of 4.0). If the enzyme activity is measured at pH 6.0, what fraction of the enzyme is expected to be ACTIVE
A. 1% B. 9.0% C. 50% D. 90% E. 95% F. 99%

There have been close to 50 different types of bias identified in epidemiological practice and research, but nearly all can be broken down into two major bias categories: Information bias and selection bias. Select one of these biases and discuss the origin of this bias, common mistakes in epidemiological studies that create this bias, and methods to help reduce the referenced bias in epidemiological research and practice.

(a) You took two 50-g ice cubes from your −15 C kitchen freezer and placed them in 200 g of water in a thermally insulated container. If the water is initially at 25 C, what is the final temperature at thermal equilibrium? (b) What is the final temperature if only one ice cube is used? Hint: Watch out for the different possibilities!

The following description has been adopted from Deitel & Deitel. One of the most popular games of chance is a dice game called "craps," which is played in casinos and back alleys throughout the world. The rules of the game are straightforward:
A player rolls two dice. Each die has six faces. These faces contain 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 spots. After the dice have come to rest, the sum of the spots on the two upward faces is calculated. If the sum is 7 or 11 on the first throw, the player wins. If the sum is 2, 3, or 12 on the first throw (called "craps"), the player loses (i.e. the "house" wins). If the sum is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 on the first throw, then the sum becomes the player's "point." To win, you must continue rolling the dice until you "make your point." The player loses by rolling a 7 before making the point.
Write a program that implements a craps game according to the above rules. The game should allow for wagering. This means that you need to prompt that user for an initial bank balance from which wagers will be added or subtracted. Before each roll prompt the user for a wager. Once a game is lost or won, the bank balance should be adjusted. As the game progresses, print various messages to create some "chatter" such as, "Sorry, you busted!", or "Oh, you're going for broke, huh?", or "Aw cmon, take a chance!", or "You're up big, now's the time to cash in your chips!"
Use the below functions to help you get started! You may define more than the ones suggested if you wish!
|
(5 pts) void print_game_rules (void) — Prints out the rules of the game of "craps". |
|
|
(5 pts) double get_bank_balance (void) - Prompts the player for an initial bank balance from which wagering will be added or subtracted. The player entered bank balance (in dollars, i.e. $100.00) is returned. |
|
|
(5 pts) double get_wager_amount (void) - Prompts the player for a wager on a particular roll. The wager is returned. |
|
|
(5 pts) int check_wager_amount (double wager, double balance) - Checks to see if the wager is within the limits of the player's available balance. If the wager exceeds the player's allowable balance, then 0 is returned; otherwise 1 is returned. |
|
|
(5 pts) int roll_die (void) - Rolls one die. This function should randomly generate a value between 1 and 6, inclusively. Returns the value of the die. |
|
|
(5 pts) int calculate_sum_dice (int die1_value, int die2_value) - Sums together the values of the two dice and returns the result. Note: this result may become the player's point in future rolls. |
|
|
(10 pts) int is_win_loss_or_point (int sum_dice) - Determines the result of thefirstdice roll. If the sum is 7 or 11 on the roll, the player wins and 1 is returned. If the sum is 2, 3, or 12 on the first throw (called "craps"), the player loses (i.e. the "house" wins) and 0 is returned. If the sum is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 on the first throw, then the sum becomes the player's "point" and -1 is returned. |
|
|
(10 pts) int is_point_loss_or_neither (int sum_dice, int point_value) - Determines the result of any successive roll after the first roll. If the sum of the roll is the point_value, then 1 is returned. If the sum of the roll is a 7, then 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned. |
|
|
(5 pts) double adjust_bank_balance (double bank_balance, double wager_amount, int add_or_subtract) - If add_or_subtract is 1, then the wager amount is added to the bank_balance. If add_or_subtract is 0, then the wager amount is subtracted from the bank_balance. Otherwise, the bank_balance remains the same. The bank_balance result is returned. |
|
|
(5 pts) void chatter_messages (int number_rolls, int win_loss_neither, double initial_bank_balance, double current_bank_balance) - Prints an appropriate message dependent on the number of rolls taken so far by the player, the current balance, and whether or not the player just won his roll. The parameter win_loss_neither indicates the result of the previous roll. |
|
|
(10 pts) Others? |
|
|
(20 pts) A main ( ) function that makes use of the above functions in order to play the game of craps as explained above. Note that you will most likely have a loop in your main ( ) function (or you could have another function that loops through the game play). |
Have a great time with this assignment! There is plenty of room for creativity! Note: I have not stated how you must display the game play! You may do as you wish!

Based on the number of students dine in Deer Park Tavern, the manager determines that following number of waiters and waitresses are needed for each day of a week:
| Mon | Tue | Wed | Thur | Fri | Sat | Sun |
| 5 | 7 | 9 | 8 | 10 | 9 | 5 |
The manager hires full time workers (waiters or waitresses) who normally work consecutively for 5 days followed by 2 day off. Additional part time workers can be hired who are required to work two days in a row. Part time workers are paid 25% more daily. Assuming that all workers are equally paid (you may assume $1/day for full time workers) within each category, respectively. In addition, to maintain the quality of service, part time workers on each day should be no more than 40% of full time workers.
Set up an Excel LP model to find a shift schedule for the manager to minimize the operating cost.
