5. Two drugs, Abraxane and Taxol, are both cancer treatments, yet have differing rates at which they leave a patient's system. Using terminology from pharmacology, Abraxane leaves the system by so-called "first-order elimination", which means that the concentration decreases at a constant percentage rate for each unit of time that passes. Taxol leaves the system by "zero-order elimina- tion", which means that the concentration decreases by a constant amount for each unit of time that passes. (a) As soon as the infusion of Taxol is completed, the drug concentration in a patient's blood is 1000 nanograms per milliliter (ng / ml). 12 hours later there is 50 ng / ml left in the patient's system. Use the data to construct an appropriate formula modeling the blood concentration of Taxol as a function of time after the infusion is completed.

Consider three connected lakes, A, B, and C, where lake B has a volume of 2650 km3, and water flows from lake A into lake B, and from lake B into lake C, both inflows and outflows at the same rate of 525 km3/year. Suppose that at time t=0 (years), the pollutant concentration of lake B, caused by past industrial pollution that has now been ordered to cease, is five times that of lake A. If the outflow from lake B to lake C is perfectly mixed lake water, how long will it take to reduce the pollution concentration in lake B to twice that of lake A? Choose all correct answers. B Approximately 6.3 years. Approximately 4.4 years. Approximately 5 years. Approximately 8.3 years. Approximately 7 years.
There are three types of contaminants that spoils water. Organic pollutants (O), volatile solvents (V), and chlorinated compounds (C). A new analytical method to detect (D) contaminants in water is being tested. The makers of the test claim that it can detect high levels of organic pollutants with 98% accuracy, volatile solvents with 99% accuracy, and chlorinated components with 89% accuracy. If a pollutant is not present, the test does not signal. Samples are prepared for the calibration of the test and 65% of them are contaminated with organic pollutants, 20% with volatile solvents, and 15% with traces of chlorinated compounds. A test sample is selected randomly. (a) What is the probability that the test will signal? (b) If the test signals, what the probability that volatile solvents are present? (c) If the test does not signal, what is the probability that chlorinated compounds are present? Note: Use the notations in the brackets to describe the events.
Two chemicals A and B are combined to form a chemical C. The rate of the reaction is proportional to the product of the instantaneous amounts of A and B not converted to chemical C. Initially there are 48 grams of A and 89 grams of B, and for each gram of B, 1 grams of A is used. It has been observed that 34,25 grams of C is formed in 15 minutes. How much is formed in 40 minutes? What is the limiting amount of C after a long time? 83.89 inf grams of C are formed in 40 minutes grams is the limiting amount of C after a long time
A doctor wants to develop a pill to help people with peanut allergies. Her goal is to prevent the dangerous symptoms that occur when a person allergic to peanuts contacts the nuts. She splits her patients into two groups. The first group receives the new pill, and the second group receives a pill with inactive ingredients. Over the course of a couple of months, all patients are tested for desensitization of peanuts. Treatment: Placebo:

Can you help me by showing all the steps. Thank you.
_) Jane bakes sourdough loaves, which are full of gluten. Unfortunately, John is allergic to gluten and wants to bake gluten-free loaves. John does not have their own “starter” (a mix of yeast, flour, and water that makes a loaf rise in the oven). Jane's starter is 50g of water and 50g of flour with gluten, and a microscopic amount of yeast that we will ignore. Jane gives John 50g of her starter. For John's first loaf, they replace the missing half of their starter with 25 g of gluten-free flour and 25g of water. This means their starter is now 25g of gluten-free flour, 25g of flour with gluten, and 50g of water. Once the yeast in this starter is fully activated, John is ready to make their first loaf. To bake the loaf they mix 50 g (half) of the starter with 225g of gluten-free flour and 225g of water, meaning the loaf is always
Suppose that information about gender is coded as "1" if the person is female, and "0" otherwise. Consider the following simple model of hourly wage, W, determination: W = β0 + δ0G + β1X1 + u, where X1 stands for years of schooling. Which of the following does NOT pertain to the meaning of δ0? δ0 determines whether there is wage discrimination against women. If δ0>0 then given the same level of education for men and women, women earn more than men on average. If δ0>0, then given the same level of education for men and women, women earn less than men on average. δ0 reflects the wage difference based on gender only.
