COMP 251: Data Structures and Algorithms – Lab 4 Page 1 of 2 Lab 4: Implementing a Stack Using Linked List Implementation Objectives: The aim of this lab session is to make you familiar with using the linked list implementation in week3 and implement a stack using it. In this lab you will complete the partially implemented StackUsingLinkedList. Specifically, you will implement the following methods. • The default constructor: public StackUsingLinkedList() • public void push(AnyType x) • public AnyType pop() • public AnyType peek() • public boolean isEmpty() • public void makeEmpty() You are expected to use Java programming language in Eclipse IDE with EGit tool for completion of this lab exercise. You should upload your completed code repository (the complete parent folder of your work) as a zip file to the assignment in the Blackboard. Task 1: Preliminary Work for Setting up the Git Repository and Project 1. If you have not done already, set your name and email address as instructed in the Eclipse EGit Tutorial: Task 1: Initial Setup section. 2. Create a local Git repository (if one is not available in your eclipse environment). 3. Create a new Java project named Lab4_ (for example Lab4_300321321). 4. Add the newly created project to your local Git repository. (Instructions available in Eclipse EGit Tutorial - Task 2: Creating a New Java Project and Adding it to a New Repository) 5. Make sure the editing history of all the project files are tacked by Git (Add to Index, Instructions available in Eclipse EGit Tutorial - Task 2: Creating a New Java Project and Adding it to a New Repository) 6. Add the Java classes ListNode and SimpleLinkedList classes provided with the code in the week 3 to the new project. 7. Add the StackUsingLinkedList class provided with the Lab 4 to new project. 8. Make sure the editing histories of all the newly created files are tracked by Git by adding it to the index (Add to Index, Instructions available in Eclipse EGit Tutorial - Task 2: Creating a New Java Project and Adding it to a New Repository). 9. For each Java class, update the comments section to indicate that you updated the code. For this add you as the second author of code and include your email address. 10. Commit all the changes done up to this point. COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS COMP 251: DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS COMP 251: Data Structures and Algorithms – Lab 4 Page 2 of 2 Task 2: Implement the Methods Important Considerations: In this lab, you are using the SimpleLinkedList class as a library and you are not allowed to make any changes to the class. You should be only making changes to the StackUsingLinkedList class. Note: If you understand the ideas discussed in week 4, you should be able to complete the implementation of the five methods in 15 minutes. 1. Implement the default constructor public StackUsingLinkedList()method in the StackUsingLinkedList class. The constructor should initialize the stack to an empty stack. 2. Implement the push method in the StackUsingLinkedList class. 3. Implement the pop method in the StackUsingLinkedList class. 4. Implement the peek method in the StackUsingLinkedList class. 5. Implement the isEmpty method in the StackUsingLinkedList class. 6. Implement the makeEmpty method in the StackUsingLinkedList class. 7. Make sure your code is commented and properly indented. 8. Commit code changes. Task 3: Implement Code Testing 1. Add a new class named Lab4Tester class to test your implementation of the stack. Your test class should test all the methods implemented in the class. 2. Make sure your code compiles and executes without any errors. 3. Test the new implementation using Lab4Tester class. 4. Commit code changes. Submission: Upload your code repository to the assignment (named Lab4) in the blackboard. The file should be named as follows. Code Repository: Create a zip file of your final code repository (the complete parent folder of your work) and name it as _Lab4_Code.zip (for example 300321321_Lab4_Code.zip)

you are the nurse working triage in the emergency department. this afternoon, a woman brings in her
father, K.B., who is 74 years old. the daughter reports that over the past year she has noticed her father has
progressively had problems with his mental capacity. these changes have developed gradually but seem
to be getting worse. at times he is alert and at other times he seems disoriented, depressed, and tearful.
He is forgetting things and doing things out of the ordinary, such as placing the milk in the cupboard and
sugar in the refrigerator. K.B. reports that he has been having memory problems for the past year and
at times has difficulty remembering the names of family members and friends. His neighbor found him
down the street 2 days ago, and K.B. did not know where he was. this morning he thought it was nighttime
and wondered what his daughter was doing at his house. He could not pour his own coffee, and he
seems to be getting more agitated. a review of his past medical history is significant for hypercholesterolemia
and coronary artery disease. He had a myocardial infarction 5 years ago. K.B.'s vital signs today are
all within normal limits.
1. What are some cognitive changes seen in a number of elderly patients?
2. You know that physiologic age-related changes in the elderly can influence cognitive
functioning. Name and discuss one.

3. For each behavior listed, specify whether it is associated with delirium (DL) or dementia (DM).
_____ a. Gradual and insidious onset
_____ b. Hallucinations or delusions
_____ c. A sudden, acute onset of symptoms
_____ d. Progressive functional impairment
_____ e. Inability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs)
_____ f. Incoherent interactions with others
_____ g. Possible wandering behavior
_____ h. Behavioral disorders that often worsen at night

4. Based on the information provided by the daughter, do you think K.B. is showing signs of
delirium or dementia? Explain.
5. You know that there are several types of dementia that result in cognitive changes. List two of
these types of dementia.
6. How can the level or degree of the dementia impairment be determined?
7. A number of diagnostic tests have been ordered for K.B. From the tests listed, which would
be used to diagnose dementia?
______ Mental status examinations
______ Toxicology screen
______ Mini-Mental State Examination
______ Electrocardiogram
______ Electroencephalogram
______ Complete metabolic panel
______ Complete blood count with differential
______ Thyroid function tests
______ Colonoscopy
______ Rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test
______ Serum B12 level
______ Bleeding time
______ Human immunodeficiency virus screening
______ Liver function tests
______ Vision and hearing evaluation
______ Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

After review of K.B.'s history and diagnostic test results, K.B. is diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia. The
physician calls a family conference to discuss the implications with K.B. and his daughter.


8. What neuroanatomic changes are seen in individuals with Alzheimer's disease?
9. List at least three interventions you would plan for K.B.

K.B. is discharged and sees his primary care physician 2 days later. K.B. receives a prescription for donepezil
(Aricept) 5 mg PO per night. As you review the prescription with K.B.'s daughter, she tells you that she is
"excited" because she did not know there were medications that could cure Alzheimer's disease.
10. How do you respond?

Two weeks later, K.B.'s daughter calls the physician's office and states, "I realize that the Aricept will not
cure my dad, but there has been no improvement at all. Are we wasting our money?"
11. What is the best answer for her question?

12. K.B.'s daughter mentions that she has found him out in the front yard and once in the
neighbor's yard. What are some interventions that you can suggest to promote safety
for K.B.?

Vinnie is a professional road cyclist participating in the 2020 Giro d’Italia, a three-week race nearly 3,600 km in distance with some stages exceeding altitudes of 2,700 m above sea level (i.e., Stelvio Pass, Italy). As the newly hired head of the high-performance team, it is your responsibility to manage his preparation for the event. You must demonstrate to your team a fundamental understanding of physiology, the chronic adaptations expected from his training, and methods that could be implemented to improve the likelihood of success.

1)Your first job was to schedule a VO2max test for Vinnie to examine his aerobic fitness. After repeating the assessment several weeks later after an intensive training block, you notice that VO2max has dropped, but there has been an increase in VT2. Please discuss why VO2max decreased and what impact both changes will have on performance?

2)Out of interest, you decide to measure Vinnie’s gross mechanical efficiency during cycling (i.e., the ratio of work accomplished to energy expended). You determine that he is 21.9% efficient. Please explain what efficiency is a measure of, where does this value sit within normal efficiency data and why you are unlikely to see values much higher (e.g., 50%)?

3)Within the alveoli, the partial pressure of O2 is reduced from that measured in the outside air (160 mmHg) to approximately 105 mmHg.

  1. What three factors contribute to this reduction in PAO2?

What values do you expect to observe in PO2 and PAO2 when Vinnie is cycling at the peak of Stelvio Pass (barometric pressure = 543 mmHg)?

What impact would the change in PAO2 have on Vinnie’s performance?

4)

The longest leg of the race is 228 km, during which energy intake is critical. Glycolysis and β-oxidation are processes that break down carbohydrates (i.e., glucose, sucrose, fructose) and fatty acids, respectively.

  1. Individually, what is the total ATP yield from one molecule of glucose and one molecule of palmitate?
  2. How did you reach these numbers (i.e., substrate yield and use)?

Based on what you know about the yield and speed of these two pathways, do you recommend Vinnie ingest glucose or fatty acids during the race? (Hint, remember the cross-over concept)

5)

You recommend that Vinnie performs altitude training as part of his preparation for the race, a training approach that is novel to him.

  1. What physiological changes would you expect in the short (i.e., acute), and long-term (i.e., chronic)?
  2. How will the physiological changes influence performance in the short (i.e., acute), and long-term (i.e., chronic)?

6)

During a casual chat with a sport scientist from another team, they suggest preparing “finish bottles” for the longer legs of the race. Along with a dose of painkillers, a “finish bottle” typically contains an ergogenic dose of caffeine (i.e., approximately 3 to 5 mg·kg-1 of bodyweight).

  1. As a sympathetic nervous system stimulant, what acute physiological changes will likely occur following caffeine ingestion at these doses?

Additionally, caffeine has a mild effect at mobilising free fatty acids. Please describe what is meant by mobilisation, and how this may influence performance

7)

Given that the average distance of each leg is 170.5 km in distance, and sometimes undulating in elevation, you understand that fatigue is inevitable. The energy depletion model of fatigue focuses around the concept that depleted substrates are just one source of fatigue, particularly observed in muscle glycogen and phosphocreatine stores.

  1. As an aerobic event, why do you expect depletion in glycogen and phosphocreatine?
  2. Why, specifically, is it crucial to replenish muscle glycogen stores prior to the next leg?

8)

As the event is soon approaching, parts of Hungary are experiencing a heatwave. Indeed, temperatures may exceed 32° Celsius during the first leg of the race leaving Budapest.

  1. Will the ambient temperature have any impact on Vinnie’s performance?

In terms of thermoregulation, what physiological changes are likely to occur during this leg of the race?

Clifford Allen is a 64-year-old male who has been married to his wife, Pam, for 40 years. They live with their 24-year-old son, Gary, who was born with Down syndrome. Mr. Allen is a middle manager for a small manufacturing company where he has worked for the last 20 years. Overall, Mr. Allen is in good health, although he has been undergoing treatment recently for BPH. He has a history of depression for which he does not seek treatment because he fears the social stigma connected to the diagnosis. Mr. Allen has been considering retiring within the next few years so he and his wife can travel, but mostly to escape his stressful work environment. He enjoys bowling and is involved in activities at church. He and his wife walk each evening after supper. One evening while bowling, he notices that his bladder feels somewhat full. Mr. Allen calls to make an appointment to see his urologist for a follow up examination. He has been taking finasteride (Proscar) for the last 6 months but does not believe it has been particularly effective. He still has trouble urinating and believes that his symptoms are worse than before he started taking the drug. When he sees the urologist 2 weeks later, he reports that he often feels his bladder is full after voiding, he has difficulty starting his stream, and his stream is weak once started. He gets up frequently at night to void. His score on the American Urological Association Symptom Index is 28, up from 18 six months ago. The urologist confirms that the medication has not been effective and schedules further tests, including a uroflowmetry test, a postvoid residual test, a PSA blood test, and a urinalysis. Results from the uroflowmetry and postvoid residual test show a significant obstruction of urinary flow. The PSA is negative, and the urinalysis is consistent with bladder inflammation. A TURP is recommended in the upcoming weeks.
