Part of the brain that ensures muscle coordination and balance.

Which of the following is a membrane channel that opens and closes in response to changes in membrane potential?

Which of the following neurotransmitters is used by neurons in the midbrain and is involved in emotional reward?

Part of the neuron that contains all the machinery necessary to sustain its life.

What type of reflex is unlearned, unpremeditated, and involuntary?

The “rest and digest” division of the autonomic nervous system is the __.

(1 point) Which of the following equations represents photosynthesis? Type a capital letter ONLY for the correct choice in the space provided. [BLANK-1]

The following snippet of pseudo code for the producer consumer problem using semaphores has a logical error. Identify the location of the error, explain what can go wrong, and suggest a fix to eliminate the error. (Hint: you can assume that all down and up calls would be successful and not return an error code). semaphore m(1) // initialize counter to 1 semaphore s(0); // initialize counter to 0 Producer ============= sem_wait(&m) while (buffer full) {     sem_post(&m);     sem_wait(&s); }  // insert item into the buffer sem_post(&s); sem_post(&m);   Consumer ==============    sem_wait(&m); while (buffer empty) {      sem_post(&m);      sem_wait(&s); } // remove an item from the buffer sem_post(&s); sem_post(&m);

Write pseudocode that creates a child process, switches its standard output (1) and standard error (2), and lets the child process execute a program whose name is provided as a command line argument.  As an example, assume that helloworld binary’s main function is implemented as follows: int main(int argc, char **argv) {     write(1,”HELLO”,6);     write(2,”WORLD”,6);     return 0; } Let’s assume that the binary of the code you will implement is called changingWorlds would be called as  $ ./changingWorlds helloworld and after this the child process that will execute helloworld writes “HELLO” to file that was accessible through descriptor 2 in the parent process and writes “WORLD” to the file accessible through descriptor 1 in the parent process.
