While most of us are quite familiar with traditional western financial systems, most of us have little or no exposure to financial transactions under the Islamic system. Please provide a comparative discussion of the differences between Western finance and Islamic finance and provide at least 2 examples of how certain transactions in the western system would be reconfigured to comply with the restrictions governing the Islamic system.

Most RNA viruses are single stranded and replicate in the cytoplasm while most DNA viruses are double stranded and replicate in the nucleus. Briefly explain why this makes sense for each of these 4 characteritics (4 points). Each of the following viruses breaks one of these (e.g. might be double stranded RNA virus). For each of these viruses say which of these it breaks (4points). Bonus points. Describe the major pathology for Molluscipox virus and B19 Parvovirus (2points).

Rotavirus

Molluscipox virus

Influenza B virus

B19 Parvovirus

Rachel Carson. Carson’s most famous book, Silent Spring, is often named as one of the most important books of the 20th century, and she is frequently called the mother of the modern environmental movement. Yet some question her relevance to today’s environmental debates, and others view her as a divisive or discredited figure. This week, we’ll discuss who Rachel Carson was and how her ideas and viewpoints still resonate in the 21st century. As a freelance writer, I’ve told Carson’s story to children and adults from several different angles. For one piece, I collected remembrances about her and her books from conservationists, scholars, and people who knew her personally (though she died in 1964, there are still some people who knew her well). One contributor was, in the 1950s, a middle-school-aged neighbor when he spent a few evenings with Miss Carson and a backyard telescope. His memories of her unquenchable curiosity reinforce my conviction that she was fundamentally a scientist seeking to understand nature and our place in the natural world as well as a writer determined to share her understanding with others. You may have a long history of thinking about Rachel Carson and her ideas too. Or you may have heard little about her but have a vague impression (positive or negative) from media coverage. Or this may be the first time you’ve heard of her. My main hope for this topic is that you’ll share your thoughts about Carson, her writing, and her ideas, even if you don’t know much about her yet. Issues to consider in your comments (you may answer 1 or more of these questions or consider other issues you consider significant): Have Silent Spring and Rachel Carson shaped your interests in nature or your environmental career plans? Have you noticed recent efforts to discredit Carson’s work and legacy? One example is false claims that she is to blame for malaria deaths in Africa. Why do you think she remains a target nearly 50 years after her death? Do you think she’s still a vital figure in the environmental movement—or a kind of eco-has-been?

What is the right ansewrs for those Qs

The SAT is the most widely used college admission exam. (Most community colleges do not require students to take this exam.) The mean SAT math score varies by state and by year, so the value of µ depends on the state and the year. But let’s assume that the shape and spread of the distribution of individual SAT math scores in each state is the same each year. More specifically, assume that individual SAT math scores consistently have a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 100. An educational researcher wants to estimate the mean SAT math score (μ) for his state this year. The researcher chooses a random sample of 635 exams in his state. The sample mean for the test is 486.

Find the 90% confidence interval to estimate the mean SAT math score in this state for this year.

(Note: The critical z-value to use, zc, is: 1.645.)

Your answer should be rounded to 3 decimal places.
