Within this unit, we discussed how businesses may need to adapt to changing times in order to stay competitive. Their initial practices may have worked well previously, but may not serve them well in the long term. The newspaper industry is one that may face extinction. Explain why they may need to rethink their business strategy, and provide some advice on possible strategic management changes. Be specific to include goals/objects, strengths, and weaknesses. Your response should be at least 200 words in length.

In a negatively supercoiled circular plasmid (covalently closed), the transition of a small region of B-DNA to Z-DNA can be induced. If this region involves a 12 base pair alternating d(CG) sequence in the closed plasmid, determine changes to W, T, and L after the induced B-to-Z transition. (Remember: ~10 base pairs per right-handed turn for B-DNA and -12 base pairs per left-handed turn for Z-DNA, i.e. Z-DNA twists in the opposite direction).

The chemistry of nitrogen oxides is very versatile. Given the following numbered reactions and their standard enthalpy changes, calculate the standard enthalpy of reaction for
N2O3(g) + N2O5(g) → 2N2O4(g)
NO(g) + NO2(g) → N2O3(g) DH = -39.8kJ/mol
NO(g) + NO2(g) + O2(g) → N2O5(g) DH = -112.5kJ/mol
2NO2(g) → N2O4(g) DH = -57.2kJ/mol
2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g) DH = -114.2kJ/mol
N2O5(s) → N2O5(g) DH = 54.1kJ/mol

Answer the following questions regarding bond valuation.
a. What is the price of a $1,000 par value bond with an 8% coupon rate paid semi-annually, if the bond is priced to yield 4% and it has 15 years to maturity? (5%)
b. Following a, what would be the price of the bond if the yield rose to 8%? (5%)
c. Following a, what would be the price of the bond if the coupon is paid quarterly? (5%)
d. Explain how the calculation changes, given semi-annual coupons in a versus quarterly coupons in c. (10%)

1- what are radiation protection standards based on (where does the data come from)?
2- What are some of the typical symptoms/injuries from radiation exposure? (ie fatigue, nausea, blood changes are syptoms of radiation sickness whereas, cataracts, cancers, birth defects, etc. are some possible “injuries” from exposure)
3-What type(s) of effects are the radiation protection standards trying to prevent?
4- In general, how do limits for the general public compare to those for occupational exposure?
