Experiment Research Proposals Samples For Students

Introduction

Tracing back to the 4th century BCE, emotion in art was highly valued and praised by illustrious people such as Aristotle, the Greek philosopher. During romanticism and expressionism, free expression of own emotions became a rule among most artists. Turning to the modern art, individual emotions, as point of the existence of human beings, are generally considered the breath of art creation. Among most, if not all, students of art, it is popular to follow their true and real feelings to work. However, by doing this, they are apt to produce some strange creative works with a prejudice, which can be ...

Literature Review

In some instances, the performance of the entire group is dependent on the effort that the weakest member of the group gives. For instance, the slowest member in a production line determines the speed at which the production line operates. In a coordination game where players simultaneously carry out a certain action, the playoff of the players is dependent on the effort of the said player and the smallest effort level of any of the players in the group. Coordination games are important to microeconomists. The belief is that economic growth can be impeded by low output equilibrium. Problems in coordination can ...

Background

Tetrahymena is a unicellular ciliate has always been the main model of studying the hormonal system of all the unicellular animals. Tetrahymena functions by, producing, storage, and the uptake of insulin that is a hormone that is similar to that of the mammals. It functions as an immunocytochemical and the functionality. The plasma membrane and the nuclear envelope of Tetrahymena have insulin receptors that are similar to that of mammal receptors and act as their binding capacities. The cells also have a second messenger and some signal pathway for the insulin. This insulin also influences the formation of other hormones. When there ...

Key Words: Disperse dye, Poly Lactic Acid, Fabric, elongation, tensile strength

Introduction and statement of the problem

The polymerization of lactic acid yields polylactic acid. As such, the raw material used in the manufacture of polylactic acid is lactic acid. Lactic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is produced by living things during metabolism. The use of polylactic acid in the production of fibers for various applications in the textile industry can be traced back to a very useful discovery a few decades ago. The production of biodegradable surgical sutures using polylactic acid set the path clear for more applications of polylactic acid (Ren 98). The good ...

Abstract

Parents have always wished to control the behavior of their children without having to upset these young ones. This paper examines employing the reverse psychology technique as a best technique in controlling behavior in children. Children also have their desires, which they would wish to carry. Contrary to the expectations of the children, parents would at times use techniques to prevent them from executing the things they desire most. The paper examines the behavior of a three-year-old kid, who neither accepts the provided meal nor wishes to take his routine nighttime shower. However, after using the reverse psychology on this child, ...

Funding is requested from the National Science Foundation in order to carry out proposed research based on the calorimetric study of enthalpy, Gibb’s energy, and entropy. The technique of calorimetric experimentation has changed a great deal from the early 1960s when studies of the heat ionization of water were conducted. The first adiabatic bomb calorimeters were very simple and controlling the difference in temperature between the inside and outside jackets was hard to control. The difference in temperature needs to be as small as possible, close to an infinitesimal amount. Technology has developed to sophisticated levels. The automatic capabilities ...

THE OXIDATION OF OLIVE OIL UNDER MICROWAVE HEATING

Chemistry: Research Proposal
Research is proposed to determine whether or not olive leaves are a good source of antioxidants. Reports of experiments to determine the effectiveness of natural plant extracts including olive leaf extracts have found that to be the case. The olive tree (Olea europaea) leaves are attractive because they “contain secoiridoids (oleuropein, ligstrosid, dimethyloleuropein, and oleoside), flavonoids (apigenins, kaempferol, leteolin), as well as phenolic compounds (caffeic acid, tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol).” (Rafiee et al., 2012, p. 1498) High content of antioxidant properties and total phenols have been determined from olive leaf extractions. (Rafiee et al., 2012;) Rafiee (et al., ...

Patient falls in inpatient settings

In this paper, the experimental design chosen for the study will be discussed briefly, and the choice of nurses as the sample for the study justified. The method of recruitment of the study participants will also be described.

Project Description

The current project aims to compare discussion forum models that are used for social activity to determine which can be used and are more preferred for learning management systems. Hashemyolia, Asmuni, Ayub & Daud (2015) have noted the increasing significance of web-based applications in learning management systems, especially in higher education. The emphasis on learning management systems is because it exploits autonomy and self-motivation in self-regulated learning. Learning management systems can be used for both course administration and pedagogical purposes (Pătruț, Pătruț & Cmeciu, 2013). This is possible because of the synchronous and asynchronous communication that is enabled by ...

Restatement of initial research questions

Reading is a crucial skill in life. Therefore, it is one of the core skills that learners must acquire. Duggan (2009) states that reading comprehension is affected by many internal and external factors and visual processing. Reading comprehension is defined as the degree of understanding a text (Jager-Adams, 1994). It does not only include the amount of reading time, but also the ability to trigger information from the text. According to Ouellette (2006), the end goal of reading is comprehension. Therefore, reading time does not provide a full picture of reading comprehension because one can quickly skim the text ...
