If you were a scientist, what metabolic capability of bacteria would you try to discover to solve a human or environmental problem? Why?
We know that bacteria and archaea are very diverse in their metabolic capabilities, such as the consumption of organic waste and carbon dioxide and the creation of others such as oxygen, alcohol, methane, nitrates, and antibiotics. Amazingly these known capabilities only come form the 1-10% of prokaryotes that have been identified. Scientists hypothesize that at least 90% are undiscovered and have potential metabolic capabilities we could harness to benefit human life. If you were a scientist, what metabolic capability of bacteria would you try to discover to solve a human or environmental problem? Why?
What structures or functions of the prokaryotic cell would serve as good targets for new antibiotics?
Antibiotic medication work by targeting specific structures and function in bacterial cells. Side effects in the patient are usually minimal, because their eukaryotic cells do not possess the same structures and characteristics as the prokaryotic pathogens. What structures or functions of the prokaryotic cell would serve as good targets for new antibiotics?

Implement a Dynamic Programming algorithm that finds a maximum weight independent set for a given tree in O(n)time.
You are given a tree T with n nodes. Each node has a non-negative weight assigned to it. Our goal is to find a set S of nodes such that (i)no two nodes in S are adjacent, and (ii)the total weight of all vertices in S is maximal. Such a set is called maximum weight independent set.
Assignment
Implement a Dynamic Programming algorithm that finds a maximum weight independent set for a given tree in O(n)time. If there are multiple such sets, return a set with maximum number of nodes.
Implementation
You are given a file Lab5.java and a file Tree.java (which you can download from canvas). The file Lab5.java
contains a class Lab5 with the function problem. Implement your solutions in that function. You can add
private helper functions or classes directly above or below if it improves your runtime or code quality. Do
not output anything to the terminal.
The file Tree.java contains a class Tree which represents an undirected tree and stores it as adjacency list
(in the array edges). It also contains the functions dfs and bfs. Feel free to use them.
Write two (2) paragraphs critiquing points made in Susan Blum’s article, “Academic Integrity and Student Plagiarism”.
- For each paragraph, begin with a brief summary of the point you are critiquing.
- Concede (if you feel this is necessary) and refute her point.
- Provide support for your opinion (note in my examples, I have not done that).
- Use a variety of evaluative language structures.
Note: If desired, you can critique the same point two different ways Accessing the Article:

How do you think other Romans felt about the collapse of their Republic given that Augustus was ushering in an age of peace free from civil war?
Read the Res Gestae (The Deeds of the Divine Augustus) of Augustus as well as in Mathisen pp. 402-3, as well as the account of Augustus’ career in the supporting sources and The West in Question 7 (Section 1). The famous quote from Augustus is that he found Rome built of brick and he left it built of marble. How did Augustus use propaganda in sources like the Res Gestae, Ara Pacis, or the Prima Porta Augustus to enhance his control of the state? How do you think other Romans felt about the collapse of their Republic given that Augustus was ushering in an age of peace free from civil war?

How did each tax affect your desire for a progressive or regressive tax incidence?
1. Play the Tax Game available online at
http://econ.glendale.edu/index.php (Links to an external site.). (for the student name that it requires use Allen Issa for the first and last name)
It is a simulation in which you are the tax dictator for a mythical country. You must collect enough revenue—but not too much—for your government by adjusting a number of different tax rates, caps and deductions. When you collected sufficient revenue, the game will tell you the tax incidence. That is the impact of your tax choices on different income
See the reading on Canvas about taxes.
You will be asked to readjust you tax choices so that you are satisfied with your tax incidence–that is how taxes affect each income group. There is no correct answer to the game; each of you will differ in your political perspective and how you choose your tax rates. However, I will ask you to justify each of your tax choices as well as the overall tax incidence.
a) For each of the taxes, explain the choice you made for the tax rates. Please make certain that you explain each number that you chose.
b) How did each tax affect your desire for a progressive or regressive tax incidence?
