Maximum Thrift is a method / philosophy that considers the shortest tree (in number of transformation steps) the best hypothesis about the phylogenetic relationship of a given set of terminals. Transformation step is the cost attributed to the change of character state in a given branch of the tree, be it the change from one nucleotide base to another, amino acids, or the color of an animal's iris. The fewer transformations, the shorter the tree, and therefore the more parsimonious. In this method, what programs do is to investigate as many alternative topologies as possible (or all if their array has less than 25 terminals; see more details below) given their character array. Each will be measured, and the shorter (optimal) trees will be retained as the most parsimonious result.
Because of symptoms and age, we would consider some diagnosis of bronchitis due to RSV infection, pneumonia because of Haemophilus influenza infections, and pertussis infection including apnea. Here I can say the answer is pneumonia due to infection of Haemophilus influenza.
The kind of treatment we can give depending on my diagnosis are; high dosage of oral erythromycin to clear the infection bacteria, supportive therapies in hospital in order to maintain blood oxygen levels and in open airways, low dosage of erythromycin which is given intravenously to clear the infection of bacteria which I can say it is the best treatment.
Some of the treatment for the infant to diminish such infection chances are MMR vaccines, toxin antiserum DTaP vaccine, influenza shot which I can recommend for the infant.
The best reason I can say about these conditions and symptoms are associated with pneumonia whereby we can say the low dose of erythromycin which is given intravenously is effective. The best prophylactic treatment is influenza shots.
Answer:
D, C and A are the correct options.
B is less likely rather is a personal reference.
We determine the mass of the metal in grams by weighing it using the balance.
Next we obtain the volume of the metal by measuring its displacement with a graduated cylinder and water in the following way:
1.measure amount of water in the graduated cylinder.
2. Place metal into the graduated cylinder
3. Measure the amount of water in the graduated cylinder
4. Subtract step 1 from step 3. The difference is the metal's volume.
Once we have found out the mass and the volume then we calculate the density using the formula:
Density = Mass/Volume.
We then check our answer from the known densities of metals in the table of densities that has been provided and determine the identity and purity of the metal by how close our answer is to the most probable value in the table.
<span>If I were attempting to date a rock sample that I suspect to be incredibly old, i would use radioactive isotopes with a long half life. When dating rocks and fossils to discover approximately how old they are, radioisotope dating is used on igneous rocks found near fossils. Things like Uranium 235, which is an unstable radioactive isotope of elements, decays at a constant rate over time so can be useful in determining age.</span>
