What is your opinion about the following statement? Wahy is it meaningful?

Beauty is the “harmony of contrasts.” What makes us appreciate the beauty of things is that they bring together nuance, richness, complexity and novelty on the one side, and harmony, pattern or order on the other… Beauty involves the transformation of potentially clashing elements into pleasing contrasts harmonized by the overarching aesthetic pattern of the beautiful object or experience

A certain weak acid, HA, with a Ka value of 5.61�10?6, is titrated with NaOH.

A) A solution is made by titrating 7.00mmol (millimoles) of HA and 2.00mmol of the strong base. What is the resulting pH?

B) More strong base is added until the equivalence point is reached. What is the pH of this solution at the equivalence point if the total volume is 38.0mL ?

Koontz Company manufactures a number of products. The standards relating to one of these products are shown below, along with actual cost data for May. Standard Cost per Unit Actual Cost per Unit Direct materials: Standard: 1.80 feet at $1.00 per foot $ 1.80 Actual: 1.75 feet at $1.40 per foot $ 2.45 Direct labor: Standard: 0.90 hours at $15.00 per hour 13.50 Actual: 0.95 hours at $14.60 per hour 13.87 Variable overhead: Standard: 0.90 hours at $6.00 per hour 5.40 Actual: 0.95 hours at $5.60 per hour 5.32 Total cost per unit $ 20.70 $ 21.64 Excess of actual cost over standard cost per unit $ 0.94 The production superintendent was pleased when he saw this report and commented: “This $0.94 excess cost is well within the 5 percent limit management has set for acceptable variances. It's obvious that there's not much to worry about with this product." Actual production for the month was 10,000 units. Variable overhead cost is assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. There were no beginning or ending inventories of materials. Required: 1. Compute the following variances for May: a. Materials price and quantity variances. b. Labor rate and efficiency variances. c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances. 2. How much of the $0.94 excess unit cost is traceable to each of the variances computed in (1) above. 3. How much of the $0.94 excess unit cost is traceable to apparent inefficient use of labor time?

Joe's retirement scheme at work pays $500 at the end of each month. Joe puts his money in an account which earns nominal 12% converted monthly, the interest is reinvested at a nominal 4% converted monthly. Carol's account also pays $500 at end of each month, but earns nominal 12% convertible monthly (principal and interest both earn 12%). After 20 years, they retire. Carol has $184,465.8246 more than Joe at this time.

Same scenario above: How long until Carol's account exceeds Joe's by $1,000,000?

PART 2:

The researchers hypothesized that mice consuming more saturated fats will have a higher probability of becoming obese and developing symptoms of diabetes. To test for dietary effects on the development of metabolic disease, the researchers collected additional data from the two cohorts of mice. They measured the fasting blood glucose levels and they performed an insulin tolerance test (effect of a dose of insulin on blood glucose level). Data are reported as means (±SEM).

• Using a t-test, determine whether the difference in the fasting blood glucose levels for the lard-fed and the fish oil-fed mice is significant.

• Plot the glucose over time data.

• Did the two groups of mice differ in their response to the same dose of insulin? At which time points?

• What conclusions can you make about the effect of the type of dietary fat on carbohydrate metabolism?

PART 3:

To determine whether the difference in the microbiota is responsible for the difference in the weight gain or just a consequence of the different diet, the researchers raised mice for 11 weeks on either a lard or fish-oil diet. Then they took two new groups of mice and treated them with antibiotic to kill their gut microbiota. These mice then received transplants of the microbiota from the mice that had been fed either lard or fish oil for 11 weeks. All of the “transplanted” mice were maintained on a lard diet for 3 weeks to see if there was a difference in their weight gain.

• Was there a significant difference in the weight gain in these two groups of mice?

• What conclusion can you make about the effect of the microbiota composition versus the diet on weight gain?

• What additional information would you want to have to support your conclusion?
