What are “nonsense syllables” and what is their importance? Solution A.Nonsense syllables are meaningless sets of two consonants with a vowel switched in between. They are used in psychological experiments regarding speech, understanding and memory, particularly in the area of cognitive psychology. Nonsense syllables relies on simple acoustic coding and maintenance rehearsal rather than on elaborative rehearsal, semantic coding or other ways of making learning meaningful..

You are lost in the national park of Bandrika. Tourists comprise 2/3 of the visitors to the park and give the correct answer to requests for directions with probability 3/4. If you ask a native badrikan for directions the answer is always false. (A) You ask a passer-by for directions to the exit. What is the probability that the directions are correct? (B) Calculate the probability that the passer-by was a tourist given that the directions were correct. (C) It turns out the directions are NOT correct. Calculate teh probability that the passer-by was a tourist. Solution A.) P(Directions correct) = (2/3)*(3/4) + (1/3)*(0) = 1/2 = 0.5 B.) P(Tourist|Directions correct) = (2/3)*(3/4)/P(Directions correct) = 0.5/0.5 = 1 C.) P(Directions not correct) = 1 - P(Directions correct) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 P(tourist|Directions not correct) = (2/3)*(1/4)/P(Directions not correct) = (1/6)/0.5 = 1/3.

Describe in words the phylogenetic relationships among Eusthenopteron, Tiktaalik, a modern salamander, and you. Be sure to describe which are more closely related to each other. Solution Answer: Eusthenopteron, Tiktaalik, modern salamander and humans mark a morphological transition from fishes to tetrapods and to bipedals like humans. Eusthenopteron was a large fish (predatory) that were mainly marine, but also inhabited shallow esturine waters. Eusthenopteron share its phylogenetic relationships with early tetrapods on the basis of its folded dentition. Moreover, its pectoral and pelvic fins were homologous to radius, ulna, tibia and fibula of modern tetrapods. Tiktaalik (also called transitional fossil) marked the transition from aquatic to land in early tetrapods. Although being a fish, it exhibited morphological characters similar to transition from water to terrestrial life. It lacks the operculum which converts the bony connection between head and body to a more flexible neck like structure. This allowed their head movements out of water. Modern salamaders are tetrapod amphibians typically characterized by appearances which are lizard like and have the unique capability of limb regeneration. They are related to modern day humans with respect to the evolution of lungs and four limbs and also in the pattern of shull development. Among the organisms mentioned above, Eusthenopteron and Tiktaalik are more closely related phylogenetically. Evidences include their fin morphology..

Which system performs better: using OFDM to service two different users simultaneously with two 20 MHz channels or using OFDMA to service these two users asynchronously using a 40 MHz channel? Can OFDMA achieve better performance than MU-MIMO? Justify your reasoning in terms of the number of simultaneous users supported, multipath mitigation, and the achievable data rate or throughput. Hint: OFDMA may allow all channels of say the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands to be used simultaneously. Solution Multiple input, multiple output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is the dominant air interface for 4G and 5G broadband wireless communications. It combines multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) technology, which multiplies capacity by transmitting different signals over multiple antennas, and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), which divides a radio channel into a large number of closely spaced subchannels to provide more reliable communications at high speeds. Research conducted during the mid-1990s showed that while MIMO can be used with other popular air interfaces such as time division multiple access (TDMA) and code division multiple access (CDMA), the combination of MIMO and OFDM is most practical at higher data rates. MIMO-OFDM is the foundation for most advanced wireless local area network (wireless LAN) and mobile broadband network standards because it achieves the greatest spectral efficiency and, therefore, delivers the highest capacity and data throughput. Greg Raleigh invented MIMO in 1996 when he showed that different data streams could be transmitted at the same time on the same frequency by taking advantage of the fact that signals transmitted through space bounce off objects (such as the ground) and take multiple paths to the receiver. That is, by using multiple antennas and precoding the data, different data streams could be sent over different paths. Raleigh suggested and later proved that the processing required by MIMO at higher speeds would be most manageable using OFDM modulation, because OFDM converts a high-speed data channel into a number of parallel, lower-speed channels. OFDMA with 40 MHz will perform better.

What is an interface ? How is extending a class different from implementing an interface ? Solution Interface :- Interface is also one type class; it is a fully un-implemented class. It is used for creating a new type of object only by declaring set of operations of this object. So interface contains only public static final variables and public abstract methods for declaring object operations. Interface is mainly introduced to develop multiple implementation inheritance. How is extending a class different from implementing an interface ? Because a class can extend an another class. But one and only a class implements an interface. Example :- Interface I1 { } Interface I2 { } class A { } class c extends A { } class c extends A implements I1,I2 { }.

what are the consequences of HWE on allele and genotype frequencies? Solution The Hardy-Weinberg law states that the proportions or frequencies of the alleles in gene pool of a population remain constant or at equilibrium from generation to generation unless acted upon by agents other than sexual recombination. The genotypic frequencies stabilize after one generation in proportions determined by allelic frequencies. The Hardy-Weinberg equation provides a standard to measure the changes in allele frequencies occurring in the natural populations without this equation the change in the frequency of alleles the magnitude and direction of the alleles and the forces responsible for change in allele characteristics can not be detected. Apart from the natural selection the change in the composition of the gene pool of a population is influenced by other conditions as follows:- Mutations alter the gene pool by changing one allele in to another. Mutations are the heritable changes in the genotype and can be caused by addition or deletion of few nucleotides in a DNA molecule or segments of chromosomes or whole set of chromosomes. Mutations may occur spontaneously and randomly. The rate of spontaneous mutations is generally low but can bring about the evolutionary change because the variation is acted upon by evolutionary forces. Movement of individuals leads to the transfer of alleles in to the population and can change the gene pools. The gene flow or movement of alleles occurs due to immigration or emigration of individuals. Incase of plants the gene flow is possible through the movement of pollen between populations. The gene flow can introduce new alleles in to the populations or can change the frequency of existing alleles. The overall effect of gene flow is to decrease the difference the populations. Large population size can alter the frequencies or relative proportions of alleles in a gene pool. Population size is more important to estimate the frequency of alleles in the gene pool. A defective allele with 1% frequency in a population containing 1 million individuals the affected population would be 20,000. If few individuals of this population with the defective gene are destroyed before producing the progeny the effect on the frequency on defective allele would be negligible. In a population of 50 individuals the frequency of defective allele would be 1 in 80. Thus, the change in the gene pool takes place by chance is known as genetic drift and it plays a major role in determination of evolution of small populations. The gene pool is altered when the population is deviated by the random mating. Random mating results in the mating of population with the close neighbors and large populations contain the closely related individuals. Inbreeding is resulted due to non random mating of closely related individuals. The non random mating does not change the frequencies of alleles in the gene pool but affects the genotypic frequencies..

What are three major operating characteristics of air filters? Solution Characteristics of Air Filters: 1. The material of the air filters attracts the particles in the air, so that they get stick to it, and does not pass through it. Sometimes an absorbent like charcoal may be also used with the filter material to abosrb the dust. 2. The performance depends on the ability to arrest the movement of the particles but allowing the air, so their design varies as per the requirement. Some high performance filters can filter very small particles. 3. Some filters may be made reusable with the rewashing, but they are very less common. Three common types of air filters are: (a)Fibreglass Filters: They use fibreglass layers to form the filter media. (b) Polyester and pleated filters they have higher air resistance than fibreglass but can stop smaller size particles as well. (c) High efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) filters. Very fine particles can be arrested by such filters. It filters 99.97 percent of all particles of size 0.3 microns or larger..

Three kinds of macromolecules are present in cell membranes. What are they? What larger structures do they make? What are the essential aspects of these structures that dictate their function? Solution Three kinds of macromolecules are present in cell membranes: Lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates These three macromolecules together to form a complex phospholipid bilayer in which periplasmic proteins are distributed in a mosaic manner. The large fluid mosaic structure is formed from these macromolecules composed of phospholipid bilayers with protein channels for the transport of organic & inorganic nutrients including trace metal. Normally, the essential aspects of these structures composed of \"porins, protein channels, integral proteins” that dictate their function for the selective permeability, diffusion of nutrients across the membrane into & out of the cell finally to attain homeostasis For instance, fluid mosaic model describes that two-dimensional liquid layer of cell membrane where proteins distributed like mosaic model in the phospholipid bilayer. This model mostly accepted by biologists Role of the protein molecules in this model cell membrane layers are membrane extracellular protein domains in connection to the lipid bilayer membrane. Membrane phospholipids are the molecules with hydrophillic polar heads towards the solvent such as water whereas hydrophobic tail located towards the center of the layer and this bilayer formed by micelles, as fatty acids possess one polar associated with another nonpolar head. Cell membrane possesses a property known as selective permeability. Cell membrane consists of phopholipid bilayer that also include several of the transmembrane proteins, ion channels etc. Small, nonpolar molecules with hydrophobic nature diffuse more easily into the cell membrane. Similarly, proteins interact and assemble themselves to form several layers of structures in our body. Small particles are such as oxygen and CO2, urea can cross the lipid bilayer easily through diffusion compared to glucose (channel mediated-sodium dependent transport into the cell), amino acids (channel mediated) and various ions etc. Atoms.

The parasitoid wasp, Leptopilina heterotoma, injects eggs into young larvae of fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster. One reaction by the flies is to self-medicate by consuming alcohol (ethanol), which is naturally present in the decaying fruits where they live. The ethanol reduces ovi-position by wasps, and it increases death rated of wasp larvae within parasitized flies. Kacsoh et al. (2013) investigated whether the presence of the wasp influences where female fruit flies prefer to lay their eggs. They presented female flies in cages with two dishes of fly food, one having 6% ethanol and the other with 0% ethanol. They recorded the proportion of eggs laid in the 6% ethanol dish when females were placed with female wasps, with male wasps, or with no wasps. Solution.

(2016 Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails that were leaked and subsequently published by WikiLeaks on July 22, 2016...) [This is for an Ethics in Information Technology Class] Solution The 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak is the scandal when a series of emails exchanged between high level DNC officials were leaked by wikileaks. These were leaked in July 2016 before the Democatric nation convention and led to the resignation of DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Later other high level DNC officials also resigned. The source of the leak is still not known and russian intelligence services are suspected. FBI is currently investigating the source of the hack. This once again has shown the security loop holes in to our personal communications. Although the merits and demerits of this particular hack can be debated, never the less the emails also included personal conversations which should not be on public domain. The leak also consists of donor list including their credit card numbers and Social security numbers. This is very sensitive information. The issue has again highlighted how cautious we should be about our security loop holes. Unfortunately the hack has again shown that there should not be any reasonal expectation of privacy while using technology. Users are now a more concious about what security systems they are using and also what kind of thins they say on emails..
