What is one effect of foreign direct investment in China?

How is red blood cell production controlled?

A beam is loaded and supported as shown in Figures. (a) Use the double-integration method to determine the reactions at supports $A$ and $C$. (b) Draw the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the beam.

State the results of mitosis and cell division.

A 0.10-kg apple falls on Earth, whose mass is about $6 \times 10^{24} \mathrm{kg}$.Which is true of the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the apple? (a) It is bigger than the force that the apple exerts on Earth by almost 25 orders of magnitude. (b) It is the same magnitude. (c) We do not know the magnitude of the force the apple exerts on Earth.

For the period from 2000 to 2008 , the percentage of households in Australia with at least one DVD player has been modeled by the function

$$f(t)=\frac{88.5}{1+17.7 e^{-0.94 t}}$$

where the time $t$ is measured in years since midyear 2000 , so $0 \leqslant t \leqslant 8$. Use a graph to estimate the time at which the number of households with DVD players was increasing most rapidly. Then use derivatives to give a more accurate estimate.

Express the complex number $\space -\sqrt{3}+i\space$, in the polar form.

(a) Calculate the angular momentum of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. (b) Compare this angular momentum with the angular momentum of Earth on its axis.

A woman's basketball has a circumference between 28.5 and 29.0 inches and a maximum weight of 20 ounces (two significant figures). What are these specifications in units of centimeters and grams?

_____ is a foreign substance that can cause the body to produce an antibody.

Describe how the concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of a muscle cell changes before, during, and after the cell is excited by a nerve impulse (action potential).

the number of formula units in the unit cell;

Many people mistakenly believe that the astronauts who orbit Earth are “above gravity.” Earth’s mass is $6 \times 1024$ kg, and its radius is $6.38 \times 106$ m (6380 km). Use the inverse-square law to show that in space-shuttle territory, 200 km above Earth’s surface, the force of gravity on a shuttle is about 94% that at Earth’s surface.

Standing at the base of one of the cliffs of Mt. Arapiles in Victoria, Australia, a hiker hears a rock break loose from a height of $105.0 \mathrm{~m}$. He can't see the rock right away, but then does, $1.50$ s later. (a) How far above the hiker is the rock when he can hear it? (b) How much time does he have to move before the rock hits his head?
