Sound is more effectively transmitted into a stethoscope by direct contact than through the air, and it is further intensified b

y being concentrated on the smaller area of the eardrum. It is reasonable to assume that sound is transmitted into a stethoscope 100 times as effectively compared with transmission though the air. What, then, is the gain in decibels produced by a stethoscope that has a sound gathering area of 15.0 cm2, and concentrates the sound onto two eardrums with a total area of 0.800 cm2 with an efficiency of 38.0%?

Answer: Δβ = 28.5278 dB

Explanation:

from the question we are given that;

the sound gathering area Ga = 15.0 cm²

total area Ae = 0.800 cm²

efficiency ε = 38 %

therefore we have that the effective gathering area of the stethoscope is;

As = ε Ga

As = 38 % × 15 = 5.7 cm²

But I ∝ 1/A

where Ie/Is = As/Ae

Ie/Is = 5.7/0.800 = 7.125

given that we are to assume that  sound is transmitted into a stethoscope 100 times, this gives

I'e/I's = Ie/Is × 100 = 7.125 × 100 = 712.5

Δβ = βe - βs = (10dB) log (I'e/Io) - (10dB) log (I's/Io)

Δβ = (10dB) log (I'e/I's)

Δβ = (10dB) log (712.5) = 28.5278

Δβ = 28.5278 dB

cheers i hope this helps

nadezda [96]

Answer:

The plateau phase seen during the action potential of a cardiac muscle cell is due to e. opening of calcium fast channels.

Explanation:

During cardiac contraction, myocardic cells reach a phase called phase 2 in which thanks to the umbral valor that they reach on the previous phase 1, calcium fast channels that are voltage dependent are open. Those fast channels just stay open by a few decimals of seconds. When those channels of calcium are open, a lot of calcium ions get into the cell maintaining depolarization of the myocardic cells.  All positive charge that posses the cell due to the previous situation, causes efflux of potassium(an ion which have also a positive charge) like a  way to reach a physiologic balance.

Answer:

A. Report this as a Serious Adverse Event (SAE).

Explanation:

When undergoing a trial using a medical product, subjects might sometimes experience certain negative effects referred to as Serious Adverse Events. These effects might range from, hospitalization, death, congenital defects, disabilities, etc.

If the medical personnel suspects that the negative effect was as a result of the medical product used, it becomes necessary to report such as a Serious Adverse Event. So, in the scenario above where a participant suddenly misses participation and his death becomes known through public records, suspicions might be that the death was a serious adverse event caused by the study.
