Metal - replaces stone and bone (bronze is made from tin and copper) Pictographs ( looks like what it means) Ideogram (i. e symbol for mouth and food = eat) Mesopotamia means between rivers: irrigation requires communal effort, increased production/population. Sumerians enter area where people likely already had writing, copper, gold and silver smelting. Sumerian invention of wheel, brickmold, pickaxe, sailing ship, standards in weights and measures wine and beer, solar calendar, math(60 units from which we get our 60 seconds, minutes) Specialization of labor and development of social classes (priests, soldiers, farmers) Temples (ziggurats) ; votive (devotional) offerings (see sculpture to right) Sumerian culture influences mesopotamian culture for centuries to come.

Scenario 4:
You are trying to image some biological event that occurs upon ~10ms time scale in a population of cells or tissue sample. This could involve measuring changes in membrane potential or calcium concentration, or rapid changes in some other biochemical event. The sample is of course live, and cellular (~5Î¼m) spatial resolution is required. The probes are generally reasonable bright but not sufficient that photobleaching and phototoxicity is not an issue. Issues to consider include acquisition time and the balance of signal collection efficiency and photo damage.

The scenario describes commonly encountered problems in applying fluorescence microscopy to study biological samples. I would like you to discuss ways of overcoming the problems at hand.

-What is the cause of the fundamental limitation(s) present in the problem when using a conventional fluorescence microscope system (wide field microscope or regular confocal microscope)? What are the tradeoffs (e.g. photobleaching, acquisition speed, spatial resolution, signal, noise and background, or other factors) that provide practical limitations?

-What type of optical imaging approach, technology or strategy could overcome these problems?

-What light source, optical detector, fluorophore and other key instrumentation/reagents will be needed and why? (you may want to provide specs for specific products where relevant).

-How will this strategy work and how will it generate new information about the object/process being studied: e.g. will fluorescence intensity be measured, or fluorescence lifetime, or scattering, some other property?

-What other limitations could there be in the approach planned? Can these also be minimized and how?

_________________________________________________________Question 1 Shreshtha Enterprises manufactures Caravans. The companyhas two main Caravans it sells commercially: a Deluxe 50-seaterCaravan and a Standard 24-seater Caravan. The Company has alsostarted manufacturing an Economy 10-seater Caravan to KhadkaTraders, recently. The Economy Caravan is similar to the DeluxeCaravan. Khadka has requested Shrestha to create a bid for 150Economy Caravans. You have been requested by your manager toprepare this bid. In preparing the bid, you find the following twodocuments: ï· A standard cost sheet for the Deluxe Caravans soldcommercially. ï· A recent invoice to Khadka for 200 Economy CaravansThe details fo these documents are given below.

Calculate the total bid if youbase your calculations on the standard cost sheet assuming a costplus 20% mark-up. (3.5 marks) b. Calculate the total if you baseyour calculations on the November 1, 2015 invoice assuming a costplus 20% mark-up. (3.5 marks) c. What are the main discrepanciesbetween the bids you calculated in requirements 1 and 2? (6 marks)d. What bid should you present to your manager? What principlesfrom the IMA â Standards of Ethical Conduct for Practitioners ofManagement Accounting and Financial Management,â as described inChapter 1, should guide your decision? As a manager what would youdo? (7 marks) *Overhead cost pool includes inspection labour ($15per hour), setup labour ($12 per hour), and other indirect costsassociated with production. ** Direct manufacturing labour includes30 production hours per unit, 4 inspection hours per unit, and 6setup hours per unit.
