Closing is subject to buyer’s inspection of property by him and his designated specialist and complete satisfaction of specialist with property condition. Aherns’s specialist inspected the property and said he thought the roof would need to be replaced in a few years. He also felt some wood near the front of the cabin should be replaced. Aherns demanded that the Johnsons fix these items or he would not close. The Johnsons maintain they did not agree to any repairs; the condition was for Aherns’ protection so that he could opt out of the agreement. Aherns has threatened to sue for breach of contract. Who should win?

Determine the chimney height required to preserve design flow in a natural recirculation boiling water reactor channel with the following characteristics:
System pressure: 7.136 MPa
Reactor height 1.83 m
Feedwater temperature 260 Celsius
Combined pressure in losses in the channel, chimney, and downcomer: 1344.5 Pa
Average channel density in the core: 642.9 kg / m^3
Two-phase friction losses in the chimney 137.9 Pa
Friction losses in the downcomer: 68.9 Pa
Friction drop in channel: 606.7 Pa
Average exit void fraction: 44%
Feedwater added near the top of chimney

1) Describe what polarization means in the context of electric charges. Generally, under what circumstances would I see polarization happen? (describe how the charges are distributed pre- and post- polarization). Water is said to be a polar molecule; what does that mean in this context?
2) Plasma is a state of matter that has been completely ionized; meaning that there are no electrons bound to protons, and both the electrons and protons are able to move about freely. If I have a positively charged surface and bring it near to a plasma, what would happen? Will both the electrons and protons behave in the same way? (compare their accelerations).

3. A pregnant woman has come to you for advice. By mistake she took thalidomide prescribed for her husband. She is certain that she took the drug during the third week of pregnancy, she is now near the end of the second trimester. She has come to you to determine whether her child will be born with malformed limbs.
a. Explain what test or tests you would suggest that could answer her question.
b. Explain why you choose that test.
c. What results would you expect from your test if the fetus was affected.

Once researchers learn about some aspect of cancer or its treatment, clinical trials are needed to test out any proposed use in humans. What are some of the kinds of clinical trials going on for cancer? Go to the National Cancer Institute's website and look at their web page with the title Search for Clinical Trials. Select a form of cancer and look for clinical trials near you. Pick one of the trials that is currently open to new participants. Explain who is participating and what is the trial testing, Who is excluded from participation? What phase of trial is this study and what are they mainly trying to find out?

Two objects, A and B, are released from rest in free space (no other masses are near). Object A has a greater mass than object B. They accelerate toward each other under the action of their mutual gravitational attraction.
a. On which object is the greater work done?
b. At the instant just before they hit, which object will have the momentum with the greatest magnitude?
c. At the instant just before they hit, which object will have the greater kinetic energy? Explain.
in all of the above could you explain how you got to the answer.
Thank you so much!

In the hunt to identify HTT, the disease-causing gene for Huntington’s disease (HD), it was discovered that human haplotypes A and C were highly associated with HD.
The DNA sequence variants geneticists used to detect haplotypes A and C were:
a) Extra repeats of a CAG codon located in the HTT gene
b) Single-nucleotide polymorphisms located near the HTT gene
c) Causal for Huntington’s disease
d) Not causal for Huntington’s disease
e) Located in the same chromosome region as one another

In order to solve this conflict using the Coase Theorem, does Dr. M need Sumner County to pass laws regulating or taxing the burning of trash? [Briefly summarize the Coase Theorem and its assumptions and apply its main conclusion to this situation.]
Why is the Coase Theorem more likely to be helpful in this case than in the case of air pollution caused by a large, coal fired power plant near a densely populated urban area?
