(a) Determine the dose (in mg/kg-day) for a bioaccumulative chemical with BCF = 103 that is found in water at a concentration of

0.1 mg/L. Calculate your dose for a 50 kg adult female who drinks 2 L lake water per day and consumes 30 g fish per day that is caught from the lake. Ans. 0.064 mg/kg-d (b) What percent of the total dose is from exposure to the water, and what percent is from exposure to the fish?

Answer:

0.064 mg/kg/day

6.25% from water, 93.75% from fish

Explanation:

Density of water is 1 kg/L, so the concentration of the chemical in the water is 0.1 mg/kg.

The BCF = 10³, so the concentration of the chemical in the fish is:

10³ = x / (0.1 mg/kg)

x = 100 mg/kg

For 2 L of water and 30 g of fish:

2 kg × 0.1 mg/kg = 0.2 mg

0.030 kg × 100 mg/kg = 3 mg

The total daily intake is 3.2 mg.  Divided by the woman's mass of 50 kg, the dosage is:

(3.2 mg/day) / (50 kg) = 0.064 mg/kg/day

b) The percent from the water is:

0.2 mg / 3.2 mg = 6.25%

And the percent from the fish is:

3 mg / 3.2 mg = 93.75%

3.8. Describe the two alternatives for specifying structural constraints on relationship types. What are the advantages and disa
forsale [732]

Answer: CARDINALITY RATIO AND PARTICIPATION

ADVANTAGE

CARDINALITY RATIO

(THEY ARE USED TO SIMPLIFY DESIGNS)

DISADVANTAGE OF CARDINALITY RATIO IS THAT

(YOU CAN NOT SPECIFY A GIVEN NUMBER TO BE MAXIMUM)

ADVANTAGE OF PARTICIPATION CONSTRAINT IS THAT

(IT SHOWS WETHER THE EXISTENCE OF AN ENTITY IS DEPENDENT ON ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH ANOTHER ENTITY)

DISADVANTAGE OF PARTICIPATION CONSTRAINT

(IT IS A COSTLY AFFAIR USING BOTH MODELS TO EXPRESEE RELATIONSHIPS).

Explanation:CARDINALITY RATIO specifies that maximum number of relationships an entity can engage itself in.

Participation constraint is a constraint that

Specifies whether the existence of an entity depends on its Relationships to another entity, it specifies the the minimum number of relationship instances that an entity can participate in

It is also minimum cardinality constraint,it has two types named as Total participation and partial participation.

Armature reaction in a dc machine A) is due to an increase of the armature voltage. B) occurs when the motor is connected to an
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

D) is due to an increase of the armature current.

Explanation:

Option D is correct because on the DC motor, when the load increases, it leads to an increase in the armature current.

The armature current then sets up a magnetic flux which opposes the main field flux. The net field flux gets reduced. It is at this point, the armature reaction occurs.

Armature reaction is seen as the effect of magnetic flux which is usually set up by an armature current. This occurs when there is the distribution of flux under the main poles.

There are two effects the armature flux causes on the main field flux.

1. The main field flux is distorted by the armature reaction.

2. The magnitude of the main field flux is reduced by the armature flux.
