Summary
In this lab our primary goal was to learn about the kidney and its filtration abilities as well as how the kidneys maintain blood composition by altering the urine composition. As well as to see the effects glucose, protein, salt, and water intake have on the urine composition and volume. To do this we will use multistix test strips to test the urine before the intake in fluids and then once again after the glucose, protein, salt, or water is consumed. The last objective is to understand the relationship between urine output and various conditions and diseases, this is done through the use of several multistix test strips and descriptions of several people's characteristics and their diseases.

Our data for the water treatment group showed no change in glucose (remained negative), little to no change in the protein, pH was around 6.5 after the ninety minutes and experience little change, while the specific gravity for each subject varied, some decreased, and others increased; the average was 1.000. For our glucose treatment group, there was no change in glucose (negative), no change in the protein, the average pH after the ninety minutes was around 6.9- each subject experience an increase or stayed the same, and lastly, the specific gravity was relatively constant around 1.010. For the last treatment group: salt there was no change in glucose (remained negative), no chance in protein, average pH after the ninety minutes was 7, and specific gravity was around 1.005. The pH changed for the salt groups which we expected to become more acidic and we expected the water group to be a more neutral; while there was no change in pH for the glucose and protein groups. The specific gravity of the salt group increased as expected, the water group experienced various results and their results could have been affected by how hydrated they were before they performed the experiment. For each of the treatment groups, there was no increase in glucose which is what we expected, as glucose is reabsorbed. For each of the treatment groups other than protein, there was no change in the amount. For those in the protein group that did experience an increase in protein amounts could have had an excess of protein in their body which caused some of it to be expelled out. Those students that drink daily protein drinks can increase how much protein their body can

The design relied on two Schmitt triggers to generate the two different tones while using the transistors to act as a switch. This causes it to trigger continuously between two unstable states, allowing automatic switching between two frequencies producing two different tones. The RC values between the two Schmitt triggers will differ. Capacitors charge and discharge faster when it’s resistance is smaller.

The test subjects will all set alarms on their smartphones for approximately 6, 8, and 10 hours after the subjects’ enter the resting period (Subjects may wake during the resting period for the bathroom, but they must not stay awake for more than ten minutes at a time to prevent as much deviation as possible.). 3.

From the data obtained in Tables 1-3, we were able to plot multiple graphs using excel. These graphs give a better representation of the data as seen in Figures 1-9. It can be seen that each figure shows a slight increase in CO2 production, which signifies a possible change in metabolic rate. Figures 4 and 7 show a relatively large change between the control and fox urine. The changes in slope between theses two are 0.0267 for Figure 4’s slopes and 0.0192 for Figure 7’s slopes.

Suppose we have a single-hop RCS where there is one AF relay that amplifies the signal received from a transmitter and forwards it to a receiver. Assume that the transmitter sends over the transmitter-to-relay channel a data symbol ${s_k}$, from a set of finite modulation alphabet, $S={S_1, S_2,ldots,S_{cal A}}$, where ${cal A}$ denotes the size of the modulation alphabet. The discrete-time baseband equivalent signal received by the relay, $z_k$, at time $k$ is given by egin{equation} z_k = h_{1,k}s_k + n_{1,k},~~~~for~~k=1,2,ldots,M label{relaySignal} end{equation} where $n_{1,k}sim {cal N}_c(0,sigma_{n1}^2)$ is a circularly-symmetric complex Gaussian noise added by the transmitter-to-relay channel, $h_{1,k}$ denotes the transmitter-to-relay channel, and

1. There are two ways of maximizing points in this experiment. The first one is that I should connect myself to a vertex that is in the biggest component and purchases immunization. Since the probability of being infected is based off of expected value, I would have less than 1% chance of getting infected. The second way is that I try to make myself stay in the second-largest connected component.

Explain why glucose might show up in Max 's urine after a particularly heavy meal. Answer: The glucose that appeared in Max’s urine was caused by excess glucose from the carbohydrate of the pizza that he ate. Glucose in the urine or glycosuria only occurs when the kidneys capacity to absorb glucose exceeds the renal threshold for glucose. When the kidneys get overwhelmed by a significant amount of glucose it will fail to reabsorb and as a result a large amount of glucose will pass into

Results The lab experiment was done in two parts, one with the NAND, NOR, XOR and Hex Inverters and the other with a 7483 full adder gate, both will verify the truth table when two input bits and a carry are added together. The circuits were built by examining the 1 bits through a K-Map to create a Boolean expression for the sum and carry. The Boolean expression for the sum was A⊕B⊕C and the carry as AB+BC_in+AC_in. From these two expressions, we notice that we must use two exclusive-ORs gates in the sum inputs for A, B, and C. For the sum, we have to use NOR and NAND (the only available gates from the lab manual).

Figure shows the intersection of line joining the camera center and image points ${\bf x}$ and ${\bf x'}$ which will be the 3D point ${\bf X}$.\\ \end{figure} The ‘gold standard’ reconstruction algorithm minimizes the sum of squared errors between the measured and predicted image positions of the 3D point in all views in which it is visible, i.e.\\ \begin{equation} {\bf X=\textrm{arg min} \sum_{i} ||x_i-\hat{x_i}(P_i,X)||^2} \end{equation} Where ${\bf x_i}$ and ${\bf \hat{x_i}(P_i,X)}$ are the measured and predicted image positions in view $i$ under the assumption that image coordinate measurement noise is Gaussian-distributed, this approach gives the maximum likelihood solution for ${\bf X}$.

CER 3C Part A: The Kidney and Homeostasis The cells of the human body are surrounded by liquid that is constant in its properties. The continuous regulation of the many dissolved compounds in this internal environment is referred to as homeostasis. The kidney plays an important role in the homeostasis by regulating blood composition and by regulating the levels of many important chemicals. The production of urine and its elimination from the body are critical functions of the kidneys in the urinary system.

In a healthy body, protein is used to repair cells and tissue, and the waste products such as urea and ammonia are excreted by the kidneys in the urine. Higher quality protein in the diet means there is less waste products that the kidneys have to remove, so less work for the damaged kidneys. Patients with chronic renal disorder have been known to show proteinuria as the kidneys cannot break down the protein which indicates that the disease is getting worse, so a decreased amount of protein means a reduction in proteinuria, slowing the progression of chronic renal disorder (Polzin,
