BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING INSTRUMENTATION - EXAMPLE 29.1 : In the application of Theory of Spectrometry in spectrophotometer, let n = N x C x V, V = A x t, e = a x N where n = number of molecules, N = Avogadro's number, V = volume of cuvette, A = area of cuvette, t = thickness of cuvette, C = concentration of fluid in the cuvette, e = extinction coefficient, a = effective area of molecule. (a) By using calculus in dI = -I x a x N x C x dt, prove that ln (I / Io) = -a x N x C x t, where dI is the small difference in I and dt is the small difference in t. I = intensity of light. Io = initial intensity of light. (b) Show by calculations that ln (Io / I) = e x C x t based on the answer in the previous question (a). (c) Find the equation of log (Io / I) as a function of e, C and t based on the answer in the previous question (b).

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.33 : An engineering corporation that produces a type of healthy food has A number of shares of $B preferred stock and C number of shares of $H common stock outstanding. In a typical financial year, let the net income obtained = D. The amount retained by the corporation = E. (a) Calculate the amount of money distributed to the shareholders if : (i) D > E; (ii) D = E; (iii) D < E. (b) Let preferred dividend = F, common dividend = G, CH > G. Find the values of F and G, in term of A, B, D and / or E when : (i) (D - E) > AB; (ii) (D - E) < AB; (iii) (D - E) = AB.

MICROBIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING - QUESTION 28.2 : A hemocytometer is a device that is used for counting cells. In an engineering experiment, 100 microlitres of cell suspension is diluted with 50 microlitres of Trypan blue dye. Only death cells appear blue in color when stained with the dye. There are 57 cells detected in a hemocytometer, where 5.3 % of them appear blue when the chamber of the meter is placed under a microscope. Each square of a chamber can contain 0.0001 mL of liquid. (a) Calculate the number of viable cells. (b) The cells occupied 5 squares. Calculate the average number of viable cells / square. (c) Calculate the dilution factor of the cell suspension by using the formula : Dilution = final volume / initial volume. (d) Calculate the concentration of viable cells / mL by using the formula : Concentration = (Average number of viable cells / square) x dilution x (square / volume).

GENETIC ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 27.4 : According to Hardy-Weinberg Equation, p x p + 2 x p x q + q x q = 1 where p = dominant allele frequency and q = recessive allele frequency. Let p + q = 1. Fraction of population has 2 copies of the p gene = p x p. Fraction of population has 2 copies of the q gene = q x q. Fraction of population has a copy of p gene and a copy of q gene = 2 x p x q. In a small town, the allele frequency is q = 0.2 for a recessive gene, the delta-32 mutation, that gives human protection from HIV infection. (a) Find the allele frequency of a dominant gene, p. (b) What percent of the population has at least a copy of the gene that cause the population either immune to HIV or less susceptible to the disease?
