During the ED game, each hour that passed new patients would arrive and your team would have to make decisions about which patients to put into which rooms, and possibly even to leave patients in the waiting area while a room was unoccupied.  Describe the decision process that your team followed and the key factors to be considered.

There were three types of rooms that could be staffed in the Emergency Department (ED) game:  high acuity rooms, medium acuity rooms, and low acuity rooms.  Prior to the game, your team had to decide how many of each of the three types of rooms to staff, given a limited budget.  Explain the key factors and tradeoffs that your team faced in developing their staffing plan. 

The following graph depicts the relationship between utilization and wait time in a typical queueing system.  Assuming the mean service time and the number of servers are held constant, what characteristic of the queueing process would cause this curve to shift from A to B to C?  In what direction is that characteristic changing as the curve moves from A to B to C? (increasing? decreasing? other?)  Please limit your answer to 1-2 sentences.

During normal quiet breathing, the pressure difference (ΔP) between the atmosphere and the alveoli is about 1 mmHg, and the airway resistance (R) is 1.5 cm H₂O·s/L. During an asthma attack, airway constriction increases the resistance to 6.5 cm H₂O·s/L, while the same pressure difference (ΔP = 1 mmHg) is maintained by the respiratory muscles.   F = ∆P/R 1 mmHg=1.36 cm H₂O     1.Calculate the airflow (F) during normal breathing. 2.Calculate the airflow during the asthma attack. 3.What happens to the airflow?

Migration of cancerous cells through the lymphatic system to other regions of the body is called.
