Cardiac muscle cells are connected by special junctions called intercalated discs. Intercalated discs provide strength between cells of tissues which exhibit high mechanical stress, strong flexible connections between tissue cells, and electrical excitability between the cells. Using this information, which junctions are present in intercalated discs?

Use APA Technical Note Q225 entitled Load-Span Tables for APA Structural-Use Panels and ASD procedures to answer the following question.The spacing of joists in a flat roof is 19.2-in. o.c. Roof dead load = 9 psf. Snow load = 59 psf. Roof sheathing is to be an APA rated plywood sheathing, and panels are to be oriented in the strong direction. The load is governed by deflection limits of L/240 for snow load and L/180 for total load. Only consider these limits. Assume multi-span, normal duration of load, dry conditions, and panels 24 inches or wider. Would a panel with a span rating of 32/16 be adequate?

A wood member is loaded as shown. Using ASD, determine the adjusted bending strength, Fb’. Assume normal temperatures, no incising, and that all loads act in the directions shown. Ignore the weight of the member.Load:PD = 3,000 lbPL = 0 lbPLr = 0 lbPS = 0 lbPR = 0 lbPW = 6,000 lbPE = 8,000 lbQD = 2,500 lbQL = 3,500 lbQLr = 5,000 lbQS = 1,000 lbQR = 500 lbQW = 0 lbQE = 0 lbSpan:L = 10 ft Member size:4 x 6 Stress grade and species:No. 1 & Better Douglas Fir-Larch Unbraced length:lu = 0 ft Moisture content:MC > 19 percent
