Document Summary

Mobile lovers by banksy appeared on bristol"s clement street in april 2014. It was on a wall owned by broad plains boy"s club. A little background information before i begin to tell you about his artwork. Street art is considered a movement of artists who refuse to be associated with the masses, who want to raise attention by showing their political opinions, without being associated with a particular art form. Banksy is a street artist, and his particular work, mobile. Lovers shows a couple embracing yet hypnotized by their mobile phones. Two lovers embracing in the romantic glow of light, but that light is not a subtle glow from a candle, the light is coming from their phones and phones now rule our lives even in the most intimate moments. The image that banksy created is a witty social commentary about today"s generation and how it is obsessed with and consumed by technology.

2. Trypsin is a hydrophilic protease and therefore is unable to cross the plasma membrane and enter a cell. However, it is capable of digesting the hydrophilic portions of membrane proteins. As a result of these properties, researchers investigating membrane proteins have treated cells with trypsin then separated the proteins by SDS-PAGE to gain insight into the orientation of particular proteins within the membrane. Describe an experiment using this information and the results you would expect with the following types of membrane-associated proteins. (Assume the proteins are single polypeptides.) a. an integral membrane protein with the N-terminus exposed on the surface b. an integral membrane protein with the C-terminus exposed on the surface c. an integral membrane protein with three hydrophilic loops (only) exposed on the surface d. a membrane-associated protein facing the cytoplasm e. an imbedded membrane protein

Cell phones and other electronic toys have become an integral part of our lives. Many people feel they must have their cell phones handy at all times! Whether texting, in particular, is ruining the way we communicate has become a controversial topic discussed by many. Texting lingo results in brief forms of communication that appear to be disrespectful and immature in the business world. Yet, many younger employees continue to use text lingo, including the use of emoticons, at the ends of their sentences, when communicating with their superiors. Such forms of communication can set an improper tone for messages, negatively impact how the receiver interprets the message and lead to misunderstanding of the intent of the message. For the younger generation, using text lingo comes naturally. But particular attention should be given to those receiving it.

1. In what way(s) has texting made you a worse communicator? In what way(s) has texting made you a better communicator?

2. As texting remains a prominent form of communication, might text lingo become a standard part of business communication in the future? Explain.

3. Provide some examples of when you would and would not use text lingo in your communications. Source: Greg Beaubien, “Texting Lingo Blowing Many Young Candidates’ Job Chances,” Public Relations Tactics, December 2008, Vol. 15, Issue 9, p. 4.

Neurosicence/Biology Question

A pharmaceutical company is developing a new drug which up-regulates cholinergic signaling in the brain (e.g. causes more ACh to be produced and released). They believe this will work as a general “intelligence booster” and make people who take it smarter. Their approach is based on scientific observations that cholinergic signaling is associated with attention and spatiotemporal memory formation, that damage to cholinergic nuclei in the basal forebrain interfere with the ocular dominance shift (which is a form of experience-dependent plasticity), that cholinergic neurons are some of the first to die in Alzheimer’s disease and presage intellectual decline, and on models suggesting that muscarinic signaling increases the contribution of intracortical projections associated with “thought” as opposed to “sensory processing”.

You are hired as a consultant for a venture capital firm that is considering investing in this drug. What is the strongest single argument you can make for why this drug is unlikely to work as advertised (i.e. unlikely to make people that take it smarter)?
