Phenomenon Reports Samples For Students

Abstract

The phenomenon of apparent motion occurs when two stimuli are separated by a flash or a blank in which the brain creates the effect of movement. It can be compared to the effects of moving pictures, for example, in which a series of still photographs are put together in such a way that the image appears to be moving. The purpose of this research is to assess the phenomenon of apparent motion in terms of the interstimulus interval, the gap between two stimuli that most accurately conveys movement to the perceiver. The study used five different dot spacings, and ...

Introduction

The objective of this experiment is to study the effect of a solute on the freezing point of a solvent. When a solute is added to a pure solvent, the freezing point of the solvent is lowered as compared to its pure form. This decrease in freezing point of the solvent is known as “Freezing Point Depression”. A similar phenomenon occurs in the boiling of such solvents, but instead of decreasing, the boiling point is increased due to the addition of the solute. This phenomenon is known as “Boiling Point Elevation”. Such phenomena, including others, are known as colligative ...

Phosphorus and Nitrogen Limitation on Plants Growth

Introduction
Plant growth and development rely on multiple environmental factors that include light intensity, temperature, water availability and vital minerals and nutrients. During the insufficiency of exogenous resources, plants maintain this imbalance through allocating the new biomass to that organ which specifically needs that insufficient nutrient (Hermans et al., 2006). Nutrients like nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) play significant roles in a plant life. They influence various metabolic factors of plant life through cooperating with each other such as in biomass distribution as well as regulating chlorophyll A and B levels.
The objective of this experiment is to understand ...

Physics 11 Experiment 3: The acceleration due to gravity

Introduction
The free fall movement is not a steady movement because there is an action over the body due to the gravity or acceleration between two bodies with different mass. The moon and the earth exert an attraction force due to their two masses (University of Tennessee Knoxville). The planets of the solar system have an orbital movement around the sun thanks to attraction force due to the mass of the sun and the planets. All the particles and bodies in the universe attract them. There is a general equation that represents that phenomenon:
F = G*m1*m2/r2

Sensory Perception

The Nervous system plays an important role in many mammals including man. The nervous system is responsible for the coordination of different stimuli in the body. Environmental changes can be felt in the body due to the nervous system present. The sense of touch, vision, audition and taste can be understood solely due to the nervous system.
A minute change or deficiency in these senses could lead to fatality. A failure in perception of any of the senses makes an individual dependent. Sensory perception is essential for all living organisms and forms the basis for homeostasis.

In-group Bias

In-group Bias

Description of the phenomenon

The phenomenon of in-group bias is retrieved mostly from the real world experiences that indicate favoritism and subjective positive perceptions for the members of the group with which individuals identify and opposition, dislike and subjective negative perceptions for the members of other groups (Wilcox, 2011; Jørgensen, Bäckström & Björklund, 2012).
Wilcox (2011) observes that in-group bias occurs not as a result of a social historical precedence, but mostly as a result of shared prejudices that shape people’s minds, but not their guts. Therefore, the in-group bias appears as an individual manifestation of a collective thinking, developed ...

Arthur Benaive (2008) like many concerned modern scientists in the American society consistently criticizes attempts by law markers in covering up the real deal of the drug trade claiming to have begun a “war on drugs.’ The author defines this situation “holy war’ comparing it to ones fought in Islamic nations for the purposes of religious freedom or acknowledgement of God. On the other hand, institutions set up to fight ‘war on drugs’ are actually means to building the business since there are benefits to be gained from sustaining it in the name of God classifying it ‘holy.’ From further ...

BERNOULLI’S EXPERIMENT

ABSTRACT
Two fluid properties, the Bernoulli principle and the Venturi effect, were examined and analyzed in this experiment. A venturi meter was used to measure the fluid flow rate, velocity, and pressure of water (the fluid being examined). The results showed that the fluid pressure decreases as the fluid traveled through a smaller cross sectional area. The minimum fluid pressure (in effect, maximum fluid velocity) was observed in the smallest cross sectional area at position D (diameter 16 mm). The decrease in fluid pressure was compensated by an increase in the fluid velocity. With these two measured phenomena, both ...

Qualitative Research

Introduction
The field of social sciences is primarily concerned with making sense of the world around us. The question of how to study the social world, however, unleashes a number of intense philosophical debates. These debates chiefly revolve around ‘ontological’ issues, denoting ‘what is there to know about the world’. Ontological debates concern themselves with questions about whether the social world contains truths independent of human observation or whether it is human interpretation that gives meaning to phenomena. Hidden in this debate is the tension between qualitative and quantitative research methods and the tension over the use of numbers ...

Abstract

This report acknowledges the various properties associated with plastics and their behaviour when subjected to different conditions of loading. This experiment investigates the mechanical behaviour of five types of polymers which include Silly putty, six pack rings, nylon cable ties, Ply Doh, and Splat Ball. The properties of plastics can be altered to introduce cross-links and thereby introducing constraints to prevent sliding or rotation. The findings of the experiment concluded that temperatures, speed of loading and chemical composition of plastics are determinants of their mechanical behaviours.

Paper 1

First order differential equations have been very useful in analyzing important properties of a system, such as stability. Literature has seen many works which have explained very specific examples of systems whose dynamics are described by a set of linear first order differential equations. However, there is little evidence, or rather no holistic explanation to prove the usefulness of simple non-linear differential equations in achieving the same. The aim of the paper studied is to bring to light this usefulness, introduce some practical applications of the same, and to examine the behavioral spectrum of such systems. Further, the paper also addresses ...

According to the definitions provided, there are variables that can be used to describe bilingualism: age and manner of acquisition, proficiency level in specific languages, domains of language use, self-identification and attitude. Bilingualism is actually a product of language contact, which is a phenomenon wherein members of a population become forced or become unconditionally exposed to a set of factors that leads to their exposure to two or more languages. There are literally a hundred of ways to define bilingualism and this supposition can be backed ...

A solution with a higher solute concentration than a cell is known as hypertonic solution. A solution of lower solute solution than the cell is known as hypotonic solution and of similar concentration isotonic solution. Osmosis refers to the phenomenon whereby solution moves from a hypotonic area, across a membrane with selective permeability, to a hypertonic area. The selective membrane refers to membranes that prevents one substance from passing through but allows another. In most cases, the biological membranes are permeable to water and impermeable to solutes such as sugars and ions. The cells have an ability of regulating their internal water and salt ...

The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI)

Ausloos and Ivanova (2001, p. 1) succinctly define the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) as a core component or characteristic of the El Nino phenomenon. The SOI data have been collected and analyzed since the year 1866 so as to effectively study and explain the occurrence of extreme climactic events. This makes it possible for meteorologists to understand the outstanding factors of the sometimes catastrophic phenomenon of El Nino and therefore be able to estimate and accurately predict future trends.

In essence, the core aspects of the SOI are derived from studying the cyclical warming and cooling of localized regions within ...
