Which of the following respiratory neural control centers is "always on" (regulating breathing):a. ventral respiratory groupb. P

ontine centerc. dorsal respiratory groupd. apneustic center

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The respiratory center is divided into 3 main groups, the dorsal respiratory group and the ventral respiratory group, both located in the <u>medulla</u>, and the pontine respiratory group, located in the <u>pons</u>. This last one also divides into two areas: <em>the pneumotaxic and the apneustic center.</em>

During quiet, restful breathing, the dorsal group stimulates the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles for inspiration. Expiration then occurs depending on the elastic recoil of the lungs. When forced expiration is required, the ventral group activates.

Give an example of a 2 x 2 matrix game with exactly three nash equilibria in pure strategies. Explain.
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

A Nash equilibrium is a profile of strategies (s1,s2) such that the strategies are best responses to each other, i.e., no player can do strictly better by deviating. This helps us to find the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria.

To start, we find the best response for player 1 for each of the strategies player 2 can play. I will demonstrate this by underlining the best responses:

ABCA1–,10,101–,−10B10–––,01,11,10C−10,110–––,11,1

Player 1 is the row player, player 2 is the column player. If 2 plays column A, then player 1's best response is to play either row A or C, which gives him 1 rather than 0 as payoff. Similarly, the best response to column B is row A, and to column C it is row B.

Now we do the same for player 2 by underlining the best responses of the column player:

ABCA1–,1–0,10–––1–,−10B10–––,01,11,10–––C−10,1–10–––,11,1

So, if player 1 plays row A then player 2 best responds either with column A or column C, giving him 1 rather than 0. We also find the best responses for row B and C.

Now a pure strategy Nash equilibrium is a cell where both payoffs are underlined, i.e., where both strategies are best responses to each other. In the example, the unique pure strategy equilibrium is (A,A). (There may also be mixed strategy equilibria.) In all other cells, at least one player has an incentive to deviate (because it gives him a higher payoff).

EDIT: How to compute mixed strategy equilibria in discrete games?

In a mixed Nash strategy equilibrium, each of the players must be indifferent between any of the pure strategies played with positive probability. If this were not the case, then there is a profitable deviation (play the pure strategy with higher payoff with higher probability).

Consider player 2. He plays column A with probability p, B with probability q, and C with probability 1−p−q. We need to find p,q such that player 1 is indifferent between his pure strategies A,B,C. He is indifferent between row A (left hand side) and row B (right hand side) if p,q are such that

p+10q−10(1−q−p)=q+10(1−p−q).

He is indifferent between B and C if

q+10(1−p−q)=p+q+1−q−p=1.

You just have to solve the first condition for q as function of p, substitute q in the second condition and you have p. Inserting p again in the first gives you q.

Now we do the same with strategies for player 1 such that player 2 is indifferent. Player 1 plays A with probability x, B with probability y and C with probability 1−x−y. The two conditions that follow are

1x+10y−10(1−x−y)=x+10(1−x−y)x+10(1−x−y)=1

Solve this again to find x,y. This is a mixed-strategy equilibrium, because neither player has a profitable deviation. Remember, we constructed the profile (x,y;p,q) such that the other player is indifferent between his pure strategies. So, no matter how the other player unilaterally deviates, his expected payoff will be identical to that in equilibrium (x,y;p,q). In general, depending on the game and solutions x,y,p,q, there may be infinitely many mixed Nash equilibria, or none. The more pure strategies there are, the more tedious it is to compute mixed strategy equilibria, since we solve for N−1 variables for each player (N being the number of pure strategies of the other player).

Moreover, to find all equilibria, if there are more than 2 actions for a player, then every possible combination of actions has to be checked. Here, a player has 3 actions, and a mixed strategy equilibrium could entail mixing over all three or just any two of them. Since such a player would not have to be indifferent regarding the strategy played with probability 0, the equations you have to set up are different. In summary, manually checking for all possible mixed strategy equilibria if at least one player has more than two actions can require a lot of effort.

With the decision by schools to mandate vaccine does this prevent a parent from living freely? Explain your answer
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The debates over vaccinations are often cast as arguments over the integrity of science. But they can just as easily be understood as conversations about power, writes Eula Biss, a senior lecturer at Northwestern University, in her book, On Immunity: An Inoculation. As it stands, all 50 states require specific vaccines for school-aged children, although each grants exemptions for students unable to be vaccinated for medical reasons. The power struggle—pitting parents against parents—arises in the 19 states that allow families to opt out of vaccination requirements by claiming a "philosophical exemption," whether based on personal, moral, or religious beliefs.
