1. Given the following SIR diagram, where h are some costly self-protective activities that people can take to avoid contracting the disease. h(p, I) = nl - apl + C. C is a constant, p is the price of costly self-protective activities. Birth (BI, – h(p, l))S. Susceptible Infected Ads St Death ds (a) Write down dt (b) Solve for the steady state infected population I*. (c) Calculate the prevalence elasticity of self-protection.

The rate of a simple enzyme reaction is given by the standard Michaelis–Menten equation: rate = Vmax [s]/([s] + KM) if the Vmax of an enzyme is 100 μmole/sec and the KM is 1 mM, at what substrate concentration is the rate 50 μmole/sec? Plot a graph of rate versus substrate (s) concentration for [s] = 0 to 10 mM. Convert this to a plot of 1/rate versus 1/[s]. Why is the latter plot a straight line?

The water is safe to drink if the number of cells falls below 10 cells/mL. It is 8 a.m. and you have 100,000 cells/mL with D being 15 minutes. You add the bleach to the tank. At what time can you release the water? Log Nt = Log N0 – t/D. D is the time required for a log kill.
