During normal quiet breathing, the volume of the thoracic cavity changes by 500 ml.  This amount of air that is inhaled or exhaled with each breath under resting conditions is called:

What is the function of the gall bladder?

People who suffer from GERD have a problem with:

Infant respiratory distress syndrome occurs when an infant is born prematurely without fully-matured lungs.  They do not produce enough of their own surfactant.  Therefore, it is very hard for them to breathe on their own.  Treatment involves administering oxygen and artificial surfactant.   Which type of cells produce surfactant?

________ is a text-based name for an area of the controller’s memory where data is stored.

A balloon is filled with helium gas. For the question(s) that follow, select the letter of the balloon diagram that corresponds to the given change in conditions.The balloon is put into a chamber whose pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure and at atmospheric temperature.

Three periodic processes with the following characteristics are to be scheduled: (D is the period and T is the total CPU time).   Picture2.png For each case, determine if a feasible schedule is likely to be generated by: • RM • EDF

(Please refer back to the previous problem or two to remind yourself about Jack’s original home purchase).After 6 years in California, Jack has found much success in his job and has even found “the one”!  They want to refinance his home into both of their names and get a 15 year mortgage.  How much will they be refinancing the home for at this time?

What do interrupts and traps have in common? What are the differences between the two concepts?

Three processes, p1, p2, p3, arrive at the same time and start executing using RR scheduling. p1 starts first, followed by p2, and then p3. The respective total CPU times of the 3 processes are 8, 3, 5 time units. The context switching time is negligible.a) Determine the average turnaround time, ATT, when the quantum is Q = 1 time unit.b) Determine the average turnaround time, ATT, when the quantum is Q = 3 time units.
