Contol of HIV/AIDS. As of 2012. the number of people living worldwide with Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/ AIDS) was estimated at 35 million. with 23 million new infections per year and 1.6 million deaths due to the disease {UNAIDS, 2013). Currently there is no known cure for the disease, and HIV cannot be completely ehminated in an infected individual. Drug combinations can be used to maintain the virus numbers at low levels, which helps prevent AIDS from developing. A common treatment for HIV is the administration of two types of drugs: reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs) and protease inhibitors (PIs). The amount in which each of these drugs is administered is varied according to the amount of HIV viruses in the body (Craig, 2004). Draw a block diagram of a feedback system designed to control the amount of HIV viruses in an infected person. The plant input variables are the amount of RTIs and PIs dispensed. Show blocks representing the controller, the system under control, and the transducers. Label the corresponding variables at the input and output of every block.

- Calorimeters are devices that are commonly used to measure the heating value of fuels. For example, a Junkers flow calorimeter is used to measure the heating value of gaseous fuels. A bomb calorimeter, on the other hand, is used to measure the heating value of liquid or solid fuels, such as kerosene, heating oil, or coal. Perform a search to obtain information about these two types of calorimeters. Write a brief report discussing the principles behind the operation of these calorimeters.arrow_forwardAt 250C, the interfacial tension between water and n – octyl alcohol is 8.50 dyne/cm. if the surface tension of n-octyl is 27.53 dyne/cm and that of the water is 72.75 dyne/cm, predict whether water spreads on the alcohol by calculating a) Work of cohesion of n-octyl b) Work of adhesion and c) the spreading coefficient of water on the alcohol.

- According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; symbols, names and images used in commerce. The IP is very important for the construction industry. This is because a lot of technical innovations occur in an engineering company and protecting their knowledge of IP is necessary. (i) Identify the protected rights under the IP law for the construction industry. (ii) Discover the scope of protection of IP rights identified in (i).arrow_forwardالمزید äs jliis OWES .. elaiyls – DROPBOX X IMG 20210429 11...7.jpg ...

In a large hospital for the treatment of the mentally retarded, a sample of 12 individuals with Down's syndrome yielded a mean of 4.5 mg/100 ml. In a general hospital a sample of 15 normal individuals of the same age and sex were found to have a mean value of 3.4 mg/100 ml. If it is reasonable to assume that the two populations of values are normally distributed with variances equal to 1 and 1.5, find the 95 percent confidence interval.
