George Garcia, a 23-year-old construction worker, and his wife, Anita, age 20, bring their 4-month-old daughter to the emergency room of a small community hospital. They speak broken English. They have another small child with them, as well as two older women. They are very worried about the infant, who they say has been unable to retain feedings of diluted cow's milk. Now, because of poor sucking and increased sleeping, the infant has not had anything by mouth for the last 24 hours. When asked, the parents say the infant has been sick for 3 or 4 days. The infant is listless, and her eyes are sunken. Anita is newly pregnant with her third child.

The Garcia family lives together in a small house 2 miles from the Mexican border in a predominantly Mexican American neighborhood.. The padrinosor compadres (godparents) live next door to the Garcias. The family is Catholic, and a medal of Our Lady of Guadalupe is on a chain around the older child's neck. The baby has a bracelet with a seed in it around her wrist. The 2 older women with the Garcias are the mothers of George and Anita. George's mother is a curandero, and has been treating the baby with weak specially brewed teas.

6..  Susto and empacho are 2 more conditions that may occur. Describe these, and the treatment.

7. What is the hot and cold theory of disease? How are foods used in this case? What are common foods and food rituals for this heritage group?

8. The infant is sent home with the family with instructions to provide 1 ounce of electrolyte solution every hour. The family is asked to return to the clinic the next day at 10:00 AM to be sure the baby's health is improving. Who in the family should receive the education about care for the baby? How could the temporal relationships of this heritage group affect the family's ability to carry out instructions?

9. In order to provide culturally sensitive care to Anita during her pregnancy, what pregnancy and childbearing practices should the health care professional be familiar with?

10. George was unable to go to work today because of concern for the baby's health. Describe how work is viewed by this heritage group when newly immigrated to the United States.

11. A "stereotype" is an oversimplified "conception, opinion, or belief about some aspect of an individual or group" (see the discussion on p. 8 of your text). A stereotype here in North Dakota could be that all people of Norwegian heritage say "uff-da", and eat a disgusting fish called lutefisk. Name 2 stereotypes that you have heard about people of Mexican heritage.

Write C++ program as described below. Call this programChill.cpp.

In April 2018 the lowest and the highest temperatures ever recorded in Ohio are 25F and 81F, respectively. The wind chill factor is the perceived temperature when taking temperature and wind into account. The standard formula for wind chill factor (from the US Weather Service) is:

0.0817 * (3.71 * sqrt(Wind) + 5.81 – 0.25 * sqrt(Wind)) * (Temp – 91.4) + 91.4

where ‘sqrt’ is the square root, Wind is the current wind speed in limes per hour and Temp is the current temperature in Fahrenheit.

You must write a program that:

  1. Creates a file with some randomly generated temperatures.
  2. Asks the user for a wind speed .
  3. Generates an output file that contains the wind chill factor of each temperature stored in the input file.

Here are the details.

First, write a function that generates 30 integer numbers, which represent hypothetically the temperature of the 30 days of April in Ohio, and stores all the generated temperature in an output file A. The temperatures generated must range between 25F and 81F. The file Amust contain nothing but integer numbers separated by a blank or a line break. The name of the file A should be given by the user and read from the keyboard. Call this functiongentemp.cpp.

Second, write the program Chill.cpp that prompts the user for the wind speed in miles per hour, reads the temperatures stored in file A and write in a file B the wind chill factor of those temperatures. The name of the file Bcan be chosen by you.

To generate integer numbers, use the functions rand() and srand() defined in <cstdlib>.

rand() - Returns a pseudo-random integral number in the range 0 to RAND_MAX

(Note: RAND_MAX is usually equal to 32767 but it may vary between cstlib library implementation).

A typical way to generate pseudo-random numbers in a determined range using rand() is to use the modulo of the returned value by the range span and add the initial value of the range:
For example:

( value % 100 ) is in the range 0 to 99
( value % 100 + 1 ) is in the range 1 to 100
( value % 30 + 1985 ) is in the range 1985 to 2014

Before generating pseudo-random numbers, use a seed to generate the series. The seed is initialized by using the function srand().

Here is a small example that generates 20 pseudo-random integers.

#include <cstdlib>

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

         int random_integer;

         srand(9);

         for(int index=0; index<20; index++)

         {

                  random_integer = (rand()%100)+1;

                  cout << random_integer << endl;

         }

         return 0;

}

The results below are based on data collected as part of a student project for an introductory statistics class at UF. If there is more than one group/treatment, the first group mentioned is group 1. Data was collected to determine if the price of food items at Graham Oasis (a convenience store inside UF campus) is higher, on average, than at a Publix Supermarket located 2 miles away. The p-value was 0.000, and the confidence interval was ( 0.85, 1.62).

The students selected food items and checked their prices at both stores.

This problem is about [ Select ]["two independent proportions", "dependent means", "two independent means", "one mean", "one proportion", "dependent proportions"] .

The sign of the alternative hypothesis should be [ Select ] [">", "=", "not =", "<"] .

Based on the p-value we can [ Select ] ["Reject the Null Hypothesis", "not Reject the Alternative Hypothesis", "Reject the Alternative Hypothesis", "Accept the Null Hypothesis", "not Reject the Null Hypothesis", "Accept the Alternative Hypothesis"] at alpha = 0.05.

At which alpha levels could we Reject Ho? [ Select ] ["all of the usual alpha levels", "0.10 and 0.05", "0.01 and 0.05", "none of the usual alpha levels"]

Are the results statistically significant at alpha=0.01? [ Select ] ["Yes.", "No."] We have [ Select ] ["some evidence", "very strong evidence", "not enough evidence", "pretty strong evidence"] to say that the average price of food items at Graham Oasis is higher than Publix.

We are 95% confident that the average price of food items at Graham Oasis is between [ Select ] ["85 cents and $1.62 lower", "$1.62 lower and 85 cents higher", "85 cents lower and $1.62 higher", "85 cents and $1.62 higher"] than at Publix.

The results of the confidence interval and significance test at alpha=0.05 [ Select ] ["do not agree because the test is one sided.", "agree", "do not agree because the test is two sided."] .

The population of interest is [ Select ] ["all food items", "all food items available at at least one of the stores", "all food items available at both stores", "all items for which data was collected"] .

We need to assume the sample was randomly selected because we are making inferences about [ Select ] ["two groups", "one group", "an unknown parameter", "proportions", "an unknown statistic", "means", "an estimator"] .

For the students collecting the data, it would be [ Select ] ["very difficult", "fairly easy"] to select a random sample from this population.

Students collecting the data should strive for [ Select ] ["a sample size of at least 30", "at least 15 successes and 15 failures in the population", "a population size of at least 30", "at least 15 successes and 15 failures in the sample"]

Dr. Sam Wise, medical director at San Diego Valley Hospital, has just conducted a meeting in which he informed those in attendance of an acute outbreak of Zika virus. In the past 36 hours, two men and one woman, completely unrelated to one another, have presented to Valley’s ER with the symptoms of Zika virus. Their only commonality is that they all live within an area of 17 square miles.

Patient 1, Stevie, is a 24-year-old graduate student at San Diego State University. He is not in a relationship and has had no sexual contact in more than three months. He has not traveled out of the greater San Diego area in the past five months, and he has never left the west coast of the United States.

Patient 2, Tiffany, is a 31-year-old marketing executive. She is married with two children, ages 3 and 4. Tiffany was in Seattle for a weekend, two weeks ago, but she has, otherwise, not left San Diego in more than six months. Her husband and children have not left San Diego in more than a year. Tiffany’s husband and her children exhibit no symptoms of Zika.

Patient 3, Enrique, is a 39-year-old carpenter. He owns his own business, which has him traveling all over the region, within a 100-mile radius of San Diego. However, he has never traveled any farther than that. Enrique is married with four children, aged between 3 and 8 years of age. No one in Enrique’s family has exhibited any Zika symptoms.

Because all of the children are too young to date, and there are no extramarital behaviors in either Tiffany’s or Enrique’s relationships, the possibility of others being infected through sexual intercourse is eliminated. As well, none of the infected parties have traveled to a high risk area.

As the director of community relations at San Diego Valley Hospital, Dr. Wise has charged you with the task of writing an article to be released to the public through the local newspaper. Dr. Wise has charged you with informing the public of a potential Zika outbreak. Your article must include a discussion of the epidemiological triangle, modes of transmission, symptoms of Zika, high-risk populations, associated morbidities, known vaccines, prevention measures, etc. Your article must be written in a lay fashion. In order to assist you in writing the article, the hospital’s epidemiologist has provided you with these CDC-supported resources.

Mr. Puffy. This gentleman is 65 years old. He has smoked two packs of non-filter cigarettes per day since he was 15 years old. His face is ruddy with a nose like WC Fields. His lips and nose are blue and he is breathing through pursed lips, having trouble evacuating the air from his lungs. He has a barrel chest. The expiratory area of his respiratory center is fully activated. He sips a small glass of port wine and reminisces about the old days.

Questions: What is your understanding of Mr. Puffy’s respiratory diagnosis? Is Mr. Puffy at risk for respiratory or metabolic / alkalosis or acidosis? What is the compensatory mechanism working to rectify his self-induced condition?

Young couple with their first baby. This is their first excursion out of the house with baby. They’ve been unable to sleep because baby is awaking all-night and asleep all day. Baby has been vomiting for the past 2-3 days, unable to keep down clear liquid or formula. Her mother told them not to worry; “spitting up” is normal. They're both exhausted and trying to enjoy their first restaurant dinner together for months. Baby is in her car seat trying to sleep but appears fidgety.

Questions: Is baby at risk for an acid- base imbalance? If so, is it respiratory or metabolic alkalosis or acidosis? What is the compensatory mechanism working to rectify this condition?

Aquarius. She's sitting alone at a table drinking distilled water hoping to be discovered by a famous movie producer. She has the lead role in a small off-Broadway play. Directors in the past have often told her that she should drink a lot of water before a performance to help with her voice quality. Her aesthetician recommends 4-5 liters of pure water per day for her skin hydration. Taking this to heart, she has been drinking at least this much water a day and more. She will only eat protein, no carbohydrates, and takes laxatives to maintain a slender figure. She's also a novice jogger with great determination, putting in at least five miles per day. She rehydrates with pure water only. The only thing she has had to drink today is distilled water.

Questions: Is Aquarius at risk for water intoxication, dehydrated, or in fluid balance? What factors are affecting her body fluid level and which hormones are affected by her lifestyle? Is her fluid volume dropping? If so, which hormones are released to compensate for this loss? Is Aquarius at risk for respiratory or metabolic / alkalosis or acidosis? What is the compensatory mechanism working to rectify her self-induced condition?

Problem 12-1A

Lon Timur is an accounting major at a midwestern state university located approximately 60 miles from a major city. Many of the students attending the university are from the metropolitan area and visit their homes regularly on the weekends. Lon, an entrepreneur at heart, realizes that few good commuting alternatives are available for students doing weekend travel. He believes that a weekend commuting service could be organized and run profitably from several suburban and downtown shopping mall locations. Lon has gathered the following investment information.

1. Five used vans would cost a total of $74,100 to purchase and would have a 3-year useful life with negligible salvage value. Lon plans to use straight-line depreciation.
2. Ten drivers would have to be employed at a total payroll expense of $48,010.
3. Other annual out-of-pocket expenses associated with running the commuter service would include Gasoline $16,010, Maintenance $3,290, Repairs $4,000, Insurance $4,190, and Advertising $2,510.
4. Lon has visited several financial institutions to discuss funding. The best interest rate he has been able to negotiate is 15%. Use this rate for cost of capital.
5. Lon expects each van to make ten round trips weekly and carry an average of six students each trip. The service is expected to operate 30 weeks each year, and each student will be charged $11.95 for a round-trip ticket.

(a)  Determine the annual (1) net income and (2) net annual cash flows for the commuter service.

(b) Compute (1) the cash payback period and (2) the annual rate of return.

(c) Compute the net present value of the commuter service.

Problem 12-1A

U3 Company is considering three long-term capital investment proposals. Each investment has a useful life of 5 years. Relevant data on each project are as follows.

Project Bono Project Edge Project Clayton
Capital investment $164,800 $180,250 $202,000
Annual net income:
Year  1 14,420 18,540 27,810
        2 14,420 17,510 23,690
        3 14,420 16,480 21,630
        4 14,420 12,360 13,390
        5 14,420 9,270 12,360
Total $72,100 $74,160 $98,880


Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method with no salvage value. The company’s cost of capital is 15%. (Assume that cash flows occur evenly throughout the year.)

A. Compute the net present value for each project.

B.Compute the annual rate of return for each project. (Hint: Use average annual net income in your computation.)

Hydraulics & Hydrology

Problem Statement

The Romans were exquisite water engineers, and that without having at their disposal the modern tools and the knowledge we have today. Remember that Hydraulics and Hydrology as we know it now only came to be in the 1700’ when engineers started to put a fundamental framework together that is/was based on lab experiments and theoretical approaches and principles. Until then, you just “knew”. The Romans build all sorts of hydraulic systems, from irrigation canals, to water supply infrastructure, to the famed “hot baths” of Rome, to sewer systems, you name it. They realized that if you want water for different purposes at locations that were important to you that very often you had to get the water there because it just was not available in close proximity.

One of the marvelous feats they accomplished was to build water supply systems that would run over dozens of miles to convey water from sources to locations of need, typically the towns and cities they founded in their vast empire. They managed to do so by building a lot of infrastructure that withstood time and that, almost 2000 years later, is still in place for us to marvel at. Especially the many bridges that were built to cross valleys and gorges to keep the supply line flowing as an open channel are spectacular in their construction, such as the Pont du Gard, Segovia, and Aquila aqueducts.

Task:

  1. Create a small inventory of the 5 most prominent and well-known aqueducts around to this day (you make a decision on what the criteria are for the selection of the 5). Come up with some describing parameters (for sure show an image or two) such as location, total length, capacity, year of built, special features, how many bridges, building materials, etc. Be creative and decide on your own what you want to tell about them.

  1. Pick one of them and carry out a hydraulic analysis. I am interested here in typical characteristics such as discharge capacity, slopes, cross sections, but also operation: how did you get the water into the aqueduct, control structures, terminal end structures, Manning’s “n”, ... But also how they were lined, how gaps between construction elements were sealed so no seepage (or losses) would occur. It would also be great if you could treat the aqueduct as a chain of: uniform, rapidly (around controls), and gradually varied flow sections. Carry out a few analyses steps and report on what happens to energy and friction grade lines in these sections, preferably of the entire length of the aqueduct.
