37) Consider an area-source box model for air pollution above a peninsula of land. the length of the box is 15 km, its width is 80 km, and a radiation inversion restricts mixing to 15 m. Wind is blowing clean air into the long dimention of the box at 0.5 m/s. Between 4 and 6 pm there are 250,000 vehicles on the road, each being driven 40 km and each emitting 4 g/km of CO.
a) Find the average rate of CO emissions during this two-hour period (g CO/s per m^2 of land)
b) Estimate the concentration of CO at 6pm if there was no CO in the air at 4pm. Assume that CO is conservative and that there is instantaneous and complete mixing in thh box
c) if the windspeed is zero, use the formula to derive relationship between CO and time and use it to find the CO over the peninsula at 6pm
(formula: LWH(dC/dt) = Qs*L*W + W*H*u*Cin - W* H*u*C
where C = pollutant concentration in the airshed, mg/m^3
Cin = concentration in the incoming air, mg/m^3
Qs = emission rate per unit area, mg/m^2-s
H = mixing height, m
L = length of airshed, m
W = width of airshed, m
u = average windspeed against one edge of the box, m/s)

What is the total efficiency of the protocol
: What would the value of the field containing the parity bits be for the case of a two-dimensional parity scheme? Your answer should be such that a minimum-length checksum field is used.

Why did the fragmented dna still show the same pattern
: The Meselson-Stahl experiments were groundbreaking studies in molecular biology. Some of the clarity of the centrifugation results was due to the that the DNA was fragmented during handling (although the experimenters did not know it at the time).

Estimate the nox concentration
: A freeway has 10,000 vehicles per hour passing a house 200 m away. Each car emits an average of 1.5 g/mi of NOx, and winds are blowing at 2 m/s across the freeway towards the house.

Question regarding testing of proportion
: A study of cats and dogs found that 11 of 50 cats and 21 of 50 dogs slept more than 10 hours per day. At the .05 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists between the proportion of cats and the propor..

Find the average rate of co emissions
: Consider an area-source box model for air pollution above a peninsula of land. the length of the box is 15 km, its width is 80 km, and a radiation inversion restricts mixing to 15 m.

Clarification of test of hypothesis
: A neurologist wants to detect whether the mean response time for drug-injected rats differs from a control group not injected. The control group has the mean response time of 1.2 seconds.

Solving environmental chemistry problem
: Assume that algae need carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in the atomic ratio 106:16:1. What is the limiting nutrient in the lake that contains the following concentrations: total carbon = 20 mg/L, total N = 0.80 mg/L and total P = 0.16 mg/L.

Calculate the percentage of the bacterial genome
: Sequencing of a new bacterial genome revealed a circular genome of 2.9 x 106 base pairs. Open reading frame (ORF) analysis indicated the presence of 2,120 ORFs that encode proteins with a median length of 270 amino acids (aa) and an average length..
