The picture below shows the morphological change in Triceratops through growth.  1) Describe their morphological changes using your own words, and 2) do these changes potentially raise difficulty in paleontological research?

Tyrannosauroidae include basal members (e.g. Eotyrannus, Dilong, and Aviatyrannis) and more advanced clade Tyrannosauridae (which includes Tyrannosaurus rex).  Discuss the key differences between the basal members and Tyrannosauridae, and talk about their evolutionary trend.

What will be the value of z after the following statements have been executed?

#21 Within the main method, write the code that will declare a String variable named word with the initial value of “beekeeper”, and will then print the location of the third occurrence of the letter ‘e’ in the word.  The output message will say “The location of the third e in beekeeper is xxxx”. Your code replaces xxxx with the  location of the third e in the word… be careful here. b is at location 0. Hint: Use a built-in String method. Note: hard coding the location will give you zero points for the problem.   In main: public static void main(String args[]) {       //declare your variable(s) here and initialize       //find the location of the third ‘e’      //print that location }

#14   Write the code for a method called sumNumbers which adds all its given parameters together and  returns the result of this addition.   Given information for the method: Access Control public Method Type static Return Type double Name sumNumbers Input Parameter 1 Type double Input Parameter 1Name value1 Input Parameter 2 Type int Input Parameter 2 Name value2 Input Parameter 3 Type double Input Parameter 3 Name  value3   To get full credit you must write the entire method code. Write your code below:  

#18 Write the code for a method named findAreaOfCircle that is public, static and receives one input parameter named radius of type double and returns a double. This method calculates the area of a circle for the provided radius and then returns the result of this calculation.  Be sure to write the method header and the method body. The formula for area of a circle is the following: area = 

A 65 year old male is admitted for syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) resulting from a brain tumor in his frontal lobe. The serum sodium is 112 mEq/L. What is the priority of nursing care for this patient?

Jon Gibbs is a 28-year-old college student who has been reportedly healthy with the exception of recent fatigue and low energy.  School “has been stressful this year” but he says that he tries to exercise and eat as well as he can to stay healthy.   Mr. Gibbs faints in class and falls, hitting his head on a desk on the way to the floor.  911 is called and emergency personnel arrive!  Vital signs are 37.9 C, 112, 30, 200/104.  The cardiac monitor displays an irregular cardiac rhythm with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs).  A swollen, red area is noted on the back of his head from the fall.   Mr. Gibbs is subsequently admitted to the hospital.  You observe that he is alert, shaky with trembling hands, anxious, and weak.  Skin is dry and mucous membranes are moist.  He has bilateral edema of his feet and ankles.  A chest x-ray reveals myocardial hypertrophy, and a computerized tomography (CT) scan of the head is negative. Serum Electrolytes are assessed.
