Construct a java method. * This method chooses the number of sticks to pick up based on the * sticksRemaining and actionRanking parameters. * * Algorithm: If there are less than Config.MAX_ACTION sticks remaining * then the chooser must pick the minimum number of sticks (Config.MIN_ACTION). * For Config.MAX_ACTION or more sticks remaining then pick based on the * actionRanking parameter. * * The actionRanking array has one element for each possible action. The 0 * index corresponds to Config.MIN_ACTION and the highest index corresponds * to Config.MAX_ACTION. For example, if Config.MIN_ACTION is 1 and * Config.MAX_ACTION is 3, an action can be to pick up 1, 2 or 3 sticks. * actionRanking[0] corresponds to 1, actionRanking[1] corresponds to 2, etc. * The higher the element for an action in comparison to other elements, * the more likely the action should be chosen. * * First calculate the total number of possibilities by summing all the * element values. Then choose a particular action based on the relative * frequency of the various rankings. * For example, if Config.MIN_ACTION is 1 and Config.MAX_ACTION is 3: * If the action rankings are {9,90,1}, the total is 100. Since * actionRanking[0] is 9, then an action of picking up 1 should be chosen * about 9/100 times. 2 should be chosen about 90/100 times and 1 should * be chosen about 1/100 times.

BIOCHEMISTRY 1. explain carbohydrate nonmenclature (aldose vs. ketose and number of carbons, numbering of carbons), including characterizations of chirality (optical isomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, and epimers) 2.identify common and important disaccarides 3.distinguish all structural and biochemical similarities and differences between starch, cellulose, and glycogen 4.what are fat soluble vitamins and what are their roles in the body Solution 1. The monosaccharides are the simple sugar molecules with general formula (CH2O) n. They are mainly composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. Monosaccharides possess functional groups such as aldehydes and ketones in their structure. Basing on the functional group present they are named as aldose - that contains an aldehyde group, ketose - that contains a ketone group. They also contain many hydroxyl groups. Hence, monosaccharides are called as polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones. A Hexose having ketone group is known as Ketohexose. Fructose is an example of ketohexose. . Hexose with an aldehyde group is called as Aldohexose. Example of an Aldohexose is Glucose. A Triose is a monosaccharide having three carbon atoms in its skeleton. Glyceraldehyde is an example of a triose.A Pentose is a monosaccharide having five carbon atoms in its structure. Ribose is an example of a pentose. Both triose and pentose are monosaccharides differing in number of carbon atoms in their skeleton. The molecules having a Carbon atom bonded to four different functional groups are called ‘chiral molecules’. The center carbon atom is called chiral carbon. Any molecule having a chiral carbon exists in a pair of enantiomers, which are nonsuperimposable mirror images. Stereo isomers are the molecules having same molecular formula and same bonding but differ in spatial arrangement of atoms. They are mirror images. They rotate the plane polarized light either to clockwise or to counter clockwise. If they rotate the plane polarized light to clockwise, they are called as ‘dextro rotatory’ (D forms) and are indicated by (+) sign. If they rotate the plane polarized light to counter clockwise, they are called as ‘levo rotatory’ (L forms) and are indicated by (-) sign. Diastereomers can be defined as a pair of stereo isomers that are not enantiomers. This indicates that the isomers are not mirror images and they totally differ from each other. Enantiomers though nonsuperimposable mirror images they have same physical and chemical properties, they differ only in rotation of plane polarized light. Diastereomers have different physical and chemical properties. 2. The disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharide units. Maltose, Lactose and Sucrose are the examples of disaccharides. These are referred by their common names like, Malt sugar, Milk sugar and Table sugar. Galactose is a hexose molecule. It is one of the components of disaccharide Lactose or milk sugar. It is found in the milk of mammals. -D - N - acetylgalactosami.

After reading about the history of welfare in the USA, describe in your own words how our current welfare system came to be. What are your thoughts about Sweden\'s welfare system? How would creating a similar system in the USA impact the field of human services? Why does the USA not have a welfare system similar to Sweden? Solution The US has the largest and most technologically powerful economy in the world, with a per capita GDP of $49,800. In this market-oriented economy, private individuals and business firms make most of the decisions, and the federal and state governments buy needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace. US business firms enjoy greater flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products. At the same time, they face higher barriers to enter their rivals\' home markets than foreign firms face entering US markets. US firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially in computers and in medical, aerospace, and military equipment; their advantage has narrowed since the end of World War II. The onrush of technology largely explains the gradual development of a \"two-tier labor market\" in which those at the bottom lack the education and the professional/technical skills of those at the top and, more and more, fail to get comparable pay raises, health insurance coverage, and other benefits. Since 1975, practically all the gains in household income have gone to the top 20% of households. Since 1996, dividends and capital gains have grown faster than wages or any other category of after-tax income. Imported oil accounts for nearly 55% of US consumption. Crude oil prices doubled between 2001 and 2006, the year home prices peaked; higher gasoline prices ate into consumers\' budgets and many individuals fell behind in their mortgage payments. Oil prices climbed another 50% between 2006 and 2008, and bank foreclosures more than doubled in the same period. Besides dampening the housing market, soaring oil prices caused a drop in the value of the dollar and a deterioration in the US merchandise trade deficit, which peaked at $840 billion in 2008. The sub-prime mortgage crisis, falling home prices, investment bank failures, tight credit, and the global economic downturn pushed the United States into a recession by mid-2008. GDP contracted until the third quarter of 2009, making this the deepest and longest downturn since the Great Depression. To help stabilize financial markets, in October 2008 the US Congress established a $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The government used some of these funds to purchase equity in US banks and industrial corporations, much of which had been returned to the government by early 2011. In January 2009 the US Congress passed and President Barack OBAMA signed a bill providing an additional $787 billion fiscal stimulus to be used over 10 ye.

You are examining a copolymer for it\'s potential as a material for a vascular graft. you are trying to determine whether you want a high or low degree of crystallinity in the material. what type of structures for copolymers have a higher probability for crystallization? Solution Answer: Copolymers are formed when two or more different types of monoers polymerize in a process called copolymerization. A block polymer is formed by the copolymerization of different copolymerized monomers. The first component is styrene followed by methyl methacrylate which forms at the end of polystyrene chain. Alternating polymers have regular repeating units of two different monomeric units. Block and alternating polymers can form long range repeated, ordered structures and thus have a higher affinity for crystallization..

why are the tropics so diverse? please expaint this queation in details. Solution Answer: Added biodiversity in the tropics as compared to the higher latitudes probably stems from the flux of photons in the tropics, but our earth is a dynamic system and thus its far more complicated than that. Mutations can occur randomly, evolutionarily the strongest contributor is error during DNA replication. This can be argued to be a function of temperature and if so, then temperature plays a small role in DNA copying. Another contributor would be that of the flux of photons. Photons have the ability to cause mutations and there is a noticeable difference in photon flux between the higher latitudes and the tropics. The tropics are enormous, spreading across the waistline of the globe. Increasing size provides ample opportunity for geographic separation for groups within a species. In conjunction with this is the fact that this broad band girdling the planet has, overall, fairly constant temperature and humidity. The tropics also exhibit relatively stable climatic conditions which will result in steady food supplies for animals as animals could specialize on 1 to 5 food sources and they would be available more or less year round. The richness of tropical rainforests in plant life is perhaps due to high levels of solar energy. The sun lies overhead during the entire year, there is a great deal of light available to support the plants in the lower strata, more than twice as much as is available to a temperate forest. And since plants in the tropics don’t suffer from (low) temperature stress, they can devote their energies to growth and reproduction at even very low light intensities. Light intensities in tropical forests are also very patchy and heterogeneous. Thus, plants living under the tall canopy can specialize in exploiting particular light regimes, many of which are not available in temperate forests. And with plant diversity comes animal diversity, since all of these plants provide food and shelter for animals. High mean annual temperature, primary productivity, and evapotranspiration rates are probably all involved also, but we do not know whether or not the higher energy levels found in rainforests are causal factors in the generation of biodiversity The presence of pathogens is a contributing factor but it complex because their related to higher temperatures but they will cause speciations as organism will need to develop the ability to defend against them Storms and high winds are common in tropical areas, and frequently lead to considerable damage and the formation of fairly large gaps in forests. When the gap in the forest is small (as when one or a few trees fall), pioneer species will normally enter the gap and flourish, eventually being replaced by climax tree species. Tropical regions are large, as well as topographically complex. As mentioned above, the complexity of the rainforest environment allows for considerable specialization of org.

What are stress and stressors? Identify potential sources and consequences of stress, and describe alternative stress management strategies. Solution There are external or internal (to individual) sources of stress, among external sources we have: Major life changes, Work or school, Relationship difficulties, Financial problems, Being too busy and Children and family. Additionally, we have internal ones as Chronic worry, Pessimism, Negative self-talk, Unrealistic expectations excess of Perfectionism, All-or-nothing attitude and Rigid thinking, lack of flexibility.What is stress? Stress is a normal response of human body, which under threat contexts releases chemicals that give to the person additional strength and energy to increase his/her capability to protect himself. The core issue is that this situation should be punctual but never a constant in a healthy person, it should be an extraordinary response, because if it would be frequent, it would be too demanding to the body, and here is the problem, contemporary average person is exposed to several frequent stress situations, and his/her body does not have time to recover itself. What are stressors? They are situations, things or persons whom have the capability to activate this extraordinary response of the body, because they demand more attention and energy from stressed individual. Identify potential sources of stress. There are external or internal (to individual) sources of stress, among externals we have: Major life changes, Work or school, Relationship difficulties, Financial problems, Being too busy and Children and family. Additionally, we have internal ones as Common internal causes of stress, Chronic worry, Pessimism, Negative self-talk, Unrealistic expectations/Perfectionism, All-or- nothing attitudeandRigid thinking, lack of flexibility Identify consequences of stress. Memory problems, seeing only the negative, irritability or short temper, depression or general unhappiness, sense of loneliness and isolation, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, agitation, inability to relax, poor judgment, using alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs to relax, anxious or racing thoughts, constant worrying, nervous habits, eating more or less, nausea, dizziness, loss of sex appetite, moodiness, procrastinating or neglecting responsibilities, frequent colds, sleeping too much or too little, feeling overwhelmed, aches and pains, diarrhea or constipation, isolating yourself from others. Describe alternative stress management strategies. Practicing physical activity, to recover nervous system balance. Feeding yourself well and healthy, to gain energy to the body and mind.
