1. Identify main metabolic enzymes involved in elimination of clozapine. a) Tabulate median clozapine maximal plasma concentrations (Cmax), area under plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and clearance (Dose/AUC) in non-smokers vs. heavy smokers (>20 cigarettes/day). Assess percent change in these parameters in smoker vs. non-smoker patients. Explain reasons for potential differences in parameters between smokers and non-smokers. b) Comment whether you would recommend a change in clozapine dose in heavy smokers and why.

What clinical and laboratory parameters should be used to evaluate the therapy for achievement of the desired therapeutic outcome and to detect and prevent adverse effects?
Q4. The total clearance (CL) and hepatic clearance (CL) of amlodipine are 49 L/h and 44 L/ h, respectively. Calculate the renal clearance (CLR) of this drug. What assumption was made when calculating CLR? Based on clearance data provided, what is the main elimination mechanism for amlodipine? Alaa Q5.The hepatic extraction ratio of amlodipine is 0.5. Would you expect changes in (i) the fraction unbound in plasma of amlodipine, and (ii) hepatic blood flow to affect the CL of amlodipine? Explain your reasoning. How would your answer be different if the hepatic extraction ratio was 0.9? Alaa

Explain the role of eicosanoids formed as a result of metabolism of n-3and n-6 fatty acids in human physiological processes. In your answer consider data from relevant observational (epidemiological) studies alongside explanation of mechanism of action of these eicosanoids.2.
Choose and a coast and a river feeding onto it. Produce a figure showing the basic geometry and prevailing winds. Indicate the expected river plume based on the linear Kelvin wave model. What is the expected (or observed) coastal circulation with respect to the actual river transport and winds. State your assumptions and provide references to sources. Quiz Hints: Global winds are available by choosing the country or state winds. ? Rivers can be found in Wikipedia by the rivers name. • Note: Use the references 0- given by these sources, e. the juried sources, not the websites themselves. River f = 2?

For the above gas turbine (question 1), it has been decided that for efficiency improvement some changes are required. You have been given task of helping the organization, as a consultant. Can you recommend practical changes that can lead to efficiency improvement? One of the researchers at UA's Mechanical Engineering Department, came-up with an idea of integrating above gas turbine with a steam powered cycle, so that end combination would be combined power plant cycle. It was also recommended to use a simple ideal Rankine cycle operating between the pressure limits of 6MPa and 6kPa,for ease of calculations. Steam is heated in a heat exchanger by the exhaust gases toa temperature of 550 degrees C. The exhaust gases leave the heat exchanger at 400K. Use appropriate assumed values, where required. Gas/Steam tables available with you could be used in these questions. Being a consultant, you have been asked to evaluate this approach Can you give details of efficiency improvements by taking above approach? Also give details of numerical method used to calculate improved efficiency?
6) Welcome to Mars! After a glowing review by your ME461 Instructor, you are the chief nuclear refueling engineer at the Londres Nova Nuclear Power Station on Mars. This power station consists of 3 Fissionator-class nuclear power plants, each producing 3000MW. a) What is the minimum amount of U-235 will you need to order from the Ceres Uranium Corporation to keep these reactors running for two years? (Assume complete burnup) b) The Phobos Plutonium Production Plant is interested in selling you Pu fuel. Since Fissionator-class reactors can also run off of Pu-239, calculate how much plutonium it would take to keep them running the same amount of time. (hint: this will require finding a new value in table 3.4 for your equation)/n7) Due to your excellent work on the previous refueling outage (the reactor hasn't melted yet!), the nearby Mariner Valley Nuclear Power Station has requested some assistance. They would like you to calculate the macroscopic neutron absorption cross section of a proposed UO2 fuel loading that they're considering. Assume 7 w/o enriched uranium. Their reactor operates at a fuel temperature of 600 deg C (i.e., Assume non 1/v behavior).
