Essays on Experiment

Abstract Every speech is embellished by metaphoric expression, despite its context, content, and tone. In different fields the application of metaphors may vary, yet still they are applied regardless the situation consciously or unconsciously. In the speech of adults, metaphoric expressions play pivotal role serving as the instruments of persuasion, simplification, and demonstration. There is less evidence that explain the utilization of metaphors by children. Some scholars insist that children use metaphoric expressions unconsciously, while the other researchers imply that they implement the metaphors due to their symbolic perception of the environment. There is certain inconsistency in the results ...

CHE 352 Spring Semester, 2016 Chemical Engineering Program Abstract In the experiment, many measurements were taken using the heat exchanger to observe the change in heat transfer from steam to water with respect to a change in water flow rate while trying to keep the inlet temperatures of water and steam constant. The flow rate was monitored using Brooks shorate meter and adjusted with valves. The flow rate has been veried from 1 bsm to 15 bsm. Two different control points were choose the measure the temperature of water and steam: the first one in inlet and the second ...

A study by Larry Hughes from the University of Nebraska at Kearney titled A correlational Study of the Relationship between Sense of Humor and Positive Psychological capacities serves as a good example of a correlational research study. The study, which involved 92 participants from numerous employers sought to establish or to relate sense of humor to positive psychological capacities or how well humor increases positivity among people. The study also sought to investigate whether a sense of humor increases positive effective experiences. The study qualifies to be classified a correlational study because it has more than 2 quantitative variables ...

When do we use the binomial distribution? The binomial distribution is very useful when there are very many trials conducted in an experiment, say n, and we want to get the probability of finding success where each number of successes has a given probability of occurrence. The probability of success is denoted by p while that of failure is the complement, i.e. (1-p) (Collani & Dräger, 2011). The binomial distribution gives some of the probabilities that are associated with repeated Bernoulli independent trials.

For a binomial experiment, an action is repeated several definite number of times The condition for ...

In this experiment, the frequencies are recorded at high certainty values. The increased certainty in these values is due to the high precision of the Amplitude knob. It takes only a few seconds to change the frequency before an effect is seen. When the experiment is repeated for a standing wave with two wavelengths, we get different results. The two-segment waves vibrate with a node at each end and one note in the middle such that the wavelength is equal to the length of the string used in the experiment. The frequency of two segment wavelength is about twice ...

The main aims of this experiment are to determine if the oscillation of a mass hung vertically from a spring are an example of simple harmonic motion, to measure the gravitational acceleration of the earth and to determine the accuracy of the experimental results. The value of k (the spring constant) for the spring being used will also be measured and the relationships between the spring constant, mass and period of will also be investigated.

If a mass is attached to the string, it will stretch and reach equilibrium. The relationship between the spring extension and force applied is ...

This study was mainly focused on repeating what other studies have done in the past; to understand the relationship between marijuana and schizophrenia. The literature suggested that there was not enough research on the topic in terms of finding out the root cause of patients taking marijuana, even if they had medication. What was discovered in the literature was also the theory that there were other contributing outside factors such as genetics and family history. Patients that were also mentally healthy were having the same effects when taking marijuana. What the literature also spoke about was distinguishing between actual ...

The aim of this experiment is to find out how the rate of change of light intensity affect the photosynthesis in spinach leaves. Successful farming of food crops is very essential for both the nutritional and financial health of a nation. Governments of almost every nation invest land and labour to crop farming, as much as is possible, keeping in mind the other needs of a country. But, however, due to many reasons the maximum crop yield possible is not always achieved. For the production of a healthy crop certain conditions are necessary. The primary among these conditions are ...

Aging research and statistical methods present various pieces information about its essence when it comes to elderly people’s cognition, psycho-social functioning, and overall health. In this writing we present the statistical method’s role in determining the variables’ role in identifying their relationship with each other in terms of a person’s well-being in the latter part of their life. Thus, the aging research through experimental and quasi-experimental designs will determine the factors that are needed in health research.

In the field of aging research, the mentioned designs are two of the most applicable pieces of information when ...

The authors found that the maximum production of cyclosporin was significantly (at 0.05 level) higher in glucose (8%), casein acid hydrolysate (3%), malt extract (2%), peptone (1%), and amino butyric acid (0.5%), comparing to medium with lower glucose content (4%).

a. The paper by Irum & Anjum (2012) is a full-size research paper on experimental study of methods to enhance cyclosporin by Aspergillus terreus by mutation induced by UV and chemical mutation. b. The mutation resulted in morphological ...

Special Education Research has undergone significant changes since the 1990s as the samples of students with learning difficulties used in studies decreased whilst samples of students at risks due to their personal circumstances and students with severe autism has increased (Mastropieri et al, 2009, p.105). This essay intends to explore what is so ‘special’ about special education research.

After examining different academic journals on the field of special education research, Mastropieri et al (2009) discovered that pre-post research designs, where researchers monitor the effects of new teaching methods on children, seemed to lack internal and external validity and that ...

The relationship between ambition and greed is explored in Mike Krath’s “An Ambitious Experiment”. The term ambitious is ambiguous in this title; for ambition usually has to do with self-betterment, whereas this experiment had to do with possible self-betterment while gambling the certain annihilation of the “self”. The husband’s ambition is not clear: is he avoiding family or securing family? The elements of time travel add another dimension to this dilemma. The time travel adds an interesting element to Krath’s tale; it provides a dimension for reflection about whether the “ambition: of the husband is ever ...

Quantitative research design involves the acquisition of a sample through random or purposive sampling techniques and then the sample is used for statistical analysis. The findings of the statistical analysis are then used to make an inference about the population. Quantitative data focuses on the use of numerical data and statistical tests which require certain requirements to be met. Quantitative research methods just like the other methods assist the researchers to obtain important information using limited resources and time restrictions. In most cases, experimental methods involve the use of control and experimental groups where the control group undergoes a ...

Previous research indicates that there are a number of factors that affect the management and coping of stress by individuals. Among these factors are social support, problem directed coping and avoidance. Increased support has the effect of significantly moderating the association between the well-being of an individual and stress levels. In addition, research has established that frequent avoidance as a coping strategy to stress has the negative effect of accelerating the association between stress and well-being of an individual irrespective of the social support offered to the individual (Chao, 2010). Studies also indicate that environmental enrichment can be used as a ...

The topic that I found most interesting from the textbook is “Ethics in Psychological Research”. Since a lot of psychological theories are established by conducting researches which involves individuals, ethical considerations play a very important role in these researches. The topic also encompasses how researchers should behave when conducting psychological studies. It is interesting to discover the challenges that psychologists go through when faced with ethical decisions in their researches.

The topic on ethics in psychological research is related to the topic on “Descriptive Research Methods”. If the research methods deal with human beings, particularly when the observational method ...

The study shows the effect that the internet has on cognition. The study shows how searching the internet for explanatory knowledge creates the illusion that one knows a lot or that they have recall for a lot of information when this is not the case. The study has the backing of nine experiments that show that searching the internet for information leads to high self-assessed knowledge. Individual believe their brains to be more active than they are as is depicted by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). The study arose from the observation that people use transactive memory systems. People unconsciously divide ...

The movie Invictus portrays Nelson Mandela in his role as a transformational leader, who undertakes a delicate and sensitive act of political engineering in his nation, South Africa, torn apart by fratricidal race war. South Africa at the time lacked national identity, while politicizing sports emerged as an excellent nation building strategy to unite the nation and build the national identity. The core strategy underpinning Mandela’s approach to nation building was “No Losers Strategy”, a win-win approach to national reconstruction, nation building and national identity.

Politicization of Sports: Politicization of sports can have both positive and negative outcomes. When a sport ...

In the contemporary world, not a day goes by without numerous reports of acts contrary to the law thus obliging the criminal justice system to play its indispensable role in comprehending and rehabilitating offenders into law-abiding citizens. Renowned psychologists such as John B. Watson, B.F. Skinner as well as Edward Thorndike through their theories in fields of behaviorism and operant conditioning exemplify the underlying concept by which the Criminal Justice System is founded. This paper thus seeks to describe the theories of behaviorism and operant conditioning in relation to the criminal justice system. I will succinctly analyze how these theories ...

(Chemical Vapor Decomposition)

Photovoltaic solar panels are designed for direct conversion of solar energy into electricity. They consist of a plurality of solar cells (cells) which are made of silicon, one of the most abundant elements on earth. Structurally, the photovoltaic solar module is electrically interconnected solar cells having output terminals for connecting the loads. Each cell contains a semiconductor layer 2: positive and negative. On the silicon layer is applied to one particular substance, whereby an excess of electrons. This forms a negatively charged n-layer. On the other layer created deficiency of electrons and becomes positively charged (p-layer). When a photon of ...

Advantages and Disadvantages 1. Introduction The field of medicine is an area of dynamic growth. As the population increases there are greater demands on the delivery of effective healthcare. Individual practitioners cannot keep up with the growing body of clinical information which is reported around the world. There is a growing need to create an effective way to keep all clinicians current in their medical practices. Although the practice of medicine is typically a one-on-one relationship between patient and doctor, the computer has become a useful element in the organization of patient records and the dissemination of clinical results. Every ...

In this experiment, we examined the motion of a simple pendulum constructed from a bob hanging from a long, thin string attached to the ceiling. We wish to confirm that the period of the pendulum depends not on the mass of the bob, but only on the length of the string and the acceleration due to gravity. We also wish to obtain an experimental value for earth's gravitational constant, g, which is known to be 980.35 cm/s2.

Two approaches were used to make an experimental determination of the value of g. The first approach involved measuring a single period 100 times, using a stopwatch. ...

The purpose of this experiment was to examine the impact of two hockey pucks in an inelastic collision and to confirm that momentum and energy are almost entirely conserved, allowing for the inherent errors involved in the observation process. The law of conservation of energy states that during a collision, energy can neither be gained nor lost, but can be transferred or transformed. During an elastic collision, the energy and momentum is transferred from one object to another. Unlike in an inelastic collision (such as the kind seen in the previous laboratory experiment), we expect kinetic energy in an elastic ...

A thorough critique of “Enhancing students’ scientific and quantitative literacies through an inquiry-based learning project on climate change” by Aaron M. McCright is the focus of this paper. It encompasses a summary of the study and findings as well as the ethical considerations and overall effectiveness of the article. The framework for critiquing a quantitative article served as a guide in the writing of this research critique, which emphasizes the significance of interdisciplinary teaching and learning in the higher learning context, particularly as it pertains to climate change and the environment. Integrating social science with natural science is one such example highlighted ...

One of the most well-known and infamous psychological experiments is the Stanford Prison Experiment. Every student of psychology or sociology in high school or college has had to read about this experiment. It emerges that men, who considered themselves pacifists turned into monsters and had no issue mistreating other human beings. This realization is well known and often cited as a reason underlying the shambolic nature of the current jail system. Philip Zimbardo presided over the experiment as the “superintendent” of the mock jail in his capacity as the psychology professor in charge of the experiment. The experiment was supposed ...

Experiments are designed to test the hypothesis. In an experimental design or design of experiment (DOE), participants are assigned to variable conditions in an experiment. Usually, experiments are designed in such a way that participants are divided into two groups, i.e. a control group and an experimental group, and then a change is introduced in the experimental group to determine the outcome. There are two important types of experimental design; True experiments and Quasi-experiments. Both types of experimental designs are used to check the cause of some particular phenomenon.

True Experiments In a true experiment, subjects or participants are randomly assigned to ...

Before the author examines some of the research designs used in the specified articles, it is prudent that the author defines what research design is. The term research design simply means the methodology and the procedure which the researcher has used to conduct a scientific research. The following paragraphs shall focus on the research designs used in the following articles.

The correct research design for this article is the survey research design. The fact that the pretest questionnaires had been handed out directly to the students in the classrooms ...

Michael Gartner is a career journalist. Gartner has been serving as the president of NBC news, who has been giving skillful speeches and has laid out advice for the upcoming reporters.

``You require facts, listen, read, collaborate, simplify, experiment, talk, trust, pounce, report, care, love and balance’’ Michael Gartner said. He presented a speech concerning a list of 12 step program to excellent writing that every journalist should flow it for successful job.’ you cannot be an outstanding writer if you are not a proficient reporter.

In this study, we are interested in comparing the mean performance of the male and female student in the mathematics subject. The data to be used in the study was collected from university of Manitoba. The researcher decided that both male and female students performed equally well in the subject of mathematics. The researcher decided to test this hypothesis using independent sample t-test. According to Gardiner, W. P. & Gettinby, G. (1998), independent sample t-test is used when the variables tend to be normally distributed. In this case according to Ott, L. & Longnecker, M. (2010), the assumption of equal variance ...

Conditioning in Psychology refers to the processes by which repeated stimulus produce predictable and frequent response. There are two types of conditioning namely classical and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning was discovered by Ivan Pavlov during his digestive system research (Kalat, 2011). Pavlov noticed that the dogs salivated whenever they sighted attendants dressed in lab coats. He attributed this behavior to the repeated exposure of both food and lab coats to the dogs. Pavlov investigated the behavior by ringing a bell whenever he was presenting food to dog. After repeated occurrences, he observed that the dogs could salivate when the bell ...

Conduction The first method through which heat is transferred from one object to another is conduction. Conduction occurs in liquids and solids through transfer of kinetic energy present in one particle to the immediate particle(s) in its surrounding. By considering the bonds existing between atoms and molecules in solids as elastic links, the vibration of one particle due to increase energy level caused by heat, the next in its line vibrate too. This process is replicated in adjacent particles thereby allowing transfer of thermal energy from a body with a higher temperature as compared to the one with low ...

Research is critical to the advancement of any field, whether it is engineering, medicine or even management. However allowing researchers to conduct experiments without any supervision or without checking in with some regulatory authority might put them and others around them at risk. The premise of this paper is to argue that research regulation is necessary to ensure that civil rights of those involved with the experimental safeguarded. In the five case studies that were outlines for review, one common factor among them was that in cases when researchers were given freedom to perform experiments they put the ...

All cells in a living organism require energy to drive various cellular activities such as transport of molecules and movement among others. The rate of cellular respiration may be affected by the substrate concentration, pH level and enzyme concentration among other factors. This experiment aimed to study the rate of cellular respiration in isolated mitochondria under different conditions. It was hypothesized that if the concentration of the substrate is increased then there will be an increase in the rate of cellular respiration. Mitochondrial suspension was used as the source of succinate that was used as the substrate. The level of ...

Researchers should be allowed to conduct their experiments and studies freely. As such, they will be able to fully concentrate on their study and come up with up with brilliant research findings. However, the government should enforce regulations and policies to prevent the abuse of research subjects. This will ensure that research strives to promote positive benefits for the larger community sponsoring it. It should ensure that research involving living things is conducted in a manner that is sensitive to the inherent worth of all living things may be it be humans, animals, or vegetation and the respect and consideration ...

The video of cognitive robot XCR-1, featured five characteristics of the sentient beings, and demonstrated a machine too can learn simple associations. The robot XCR-1 is a three-wheeled robot, without an envelope that gives a shape and form, with gripping hands, with multiple sensory capabilities and with a capacity to produce words. The robot has limited motor capacity (gripping, moving forward/ backward, talking and touching), but has excellent sensory systems for visual, auditory, touch, pain and tap stimulus. Obviously it has been created for studies and experiments in the field of machine learning. The experiment pioneered by Dr. Haikonen illustrates five behavioral phenomena ...

The key sections typically used in research articles include (1) the introduction/background, (2) literature review, (3) methods, (4) results, (5) discussion, and (6) the conclusion. The introduction and literature review are sometimes not distinguished as separate sections. The choice of sections will also depend on the research topic and aims, and each section can introduce more subsection, but all research articles need to discuss the study aims and their hypotheses in the first section of the article. For example, a study on exposure therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by Hembree et al. (2003) presents previous research on exposure therapy ...

The null hypothesis is a hypothesis, which is checked for consistency with the existing sampling (empirical) data. Often used as a null hypothesis act hypothesis of no relationship or correlation between the studied variables, no differences (homogeneity) of the distributions (or parameters of distributions) of two and / or more samples. The standard scientific approach for testing hypotheses the researcher attempts to show the failure of the null hypothesis of its inconsistency with the available experimental data, that is, to reject the hypothesis. This implies that there must be adopted another, alternative (competing), excluding the zero hypothesis. Used in the statistical ...

A quasi experimental study is a research which helps to establish whether a certain program has an effect on what the participants are studying. This article will explain the details to be considered so as to have a successful research on the importance and benefits of learning music instruments on child development. The details to be considered are the participants, materials to be used and the procedure to go about through the research. The first step will be to choose the participants of research and the appropriate number. The participants of the experiments must be in the same course that I ...

- Stress in the Thin Cylinder Subjected to Internal Pressure - Discussion on Lab Results I would like to start with the proverb “Err is Human”. All the scientific experiments conducted in the research lab are always subjected to the errors. Most of the errors are due to the human mistakes while taking the reading, and it was called as the parallax errors. This report may contain the certain types of errors. Now, we can analysis about Table 1 and Table 2. The table 1 speaks about pressure (N/MM 2) and gauge (ε). If a pressure increases the ...

These two readings emphasize on how it is interesting to know that cell evolution research is advancing in new and exciting ways at the intersection of genomics, cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and microbiology. The aim of the papers is to reexamine one of the more revolutionary conjectures made to account for the origin of the complicated kind of cell that is the structural unit of the higher animals and plants. The first reading is entitled “Origin of eukaryotic cells: 40 years on”, the paper is authored by John M. Archibald. The book is aimed at discussing the ...

Introduction Passing and receiving information from one being to another is based on how well a person can remember. Often people tend to forget things and are heard saying “oh, my memory failed me.” The big question here, however, is how exactly does the memory work. How does the person’s memory, manage to keep information passed on to it, for sometimes a long time whereas there are times when it just goes blank in second? It is important to know the message storing part if the brain. This is in the modern world, known as the working memory. ...

Music is an art widely appreciated for its effect on the human psyche. Researchers are increasingly drawn to study the effect of music in the day-to-day lives of people with a bias toward quantifying its scope of impact and understand it as they do science. Personality theorists, cognitive psychologists and applied psychologists alike are interested in how a musical distraction has varying effects on the cognitive task performance per individual. Uhrbrock (1961) noted that amongst other observations, the quality of work can be adversely affected by the use of music in the work situation and Instrumental, rather than vocal, music is ...

Compliance to therapeutic regimen may seem to be a challenging task for health care providers and guardians to reinforce or instill among teenagers who are admitted in an acute health care facility. There are numerous methods to reinforce compliance to therapeutic regimen among these teenage patients. One of these is health education. It is a method that can be done in numerous pedagogical approaches. However, studies have reported that more teenagers are supplementing or replacing these approaches with resources they uncover over the Internet (Katz, 2008; Liu, 2010). An available technology in the internet is social networking. With its prominence among ...

Mitochondrion plays vital roles in the performance of tissue. It is important, therefore, that their isolation and study are advanced to correct anomalies that arise out of the mitochondria failure. Instances of a mitochondria failure in neuronal tissue have been reported to cause anomalies such as epilepsy and ageing. Since mitochondria is responsible for the production of ATP in the cells, failure or inefficiency of these organelles causes a dysfunction in their component tissue leading to some ailment in the host organism. Many methods exist for the extraction and observation of mitochondria, some of these methods include, differential centrifugation and the ...

The Ellen Roche case is a case wherein a healthy volunteer participated in a National Institutes of Health funded research on the natural defenses of healthy individuals against asthma. The purpose of the study is to “gain a better understanding of the pathophysiology of asthma, specifically the mechanism of airway hyperresponsiveness”. Under the experiment Roche and the other subjects are required to inhale hexamethonium, a ganglionic blocker. The subjects will be paid $365 for participating in the experiment. After almost a month of participating in the research, Roche died due to progressive hypotension and multi-organ failure, which was attributed to her inhalation of hexamethonium.

Companies in the world are tirelessly working day and night to see that people can get better and improved batteries that are convenient to use and carry around as they carry out their daily tasks. When this breakthrough is eventually achieved, people will find themselves using devices which are not using the ordinary batteries, but instead they (the devices) will power themselves with either energy from the air, cellular, TV or Wi-Fi signals. The major drive to the development of the battery has been for the companies to meet customer needs by making sure that the customers get ...

No man is an island. This quote serves as a reminder that we do not live in isolation. As stated by Aristotle, human beings are social animals who need daily social interaction with other members of the community and that to be self-sufficient and not partake in the society is distinctive of either a beast or a god. Because of this frequent interplay among members of the society, creating laws and empowering legal authorities became a necessity in order to establish order. These laws are meant to impose control and limitations over what individuals can do to avoid interfering with the rights of ...

Single-subject designs are a research method that test for an independent variable in a small number of subjects, typically one. The method is thought to have originated from behavioral psychology and is preferred for experiments involving behavioral change or modification because the outcomes are tested periodically from the beginning of the experiment to the end. Single-subject designs include at least one phase where there is no treatment and one phase where there is treatment. The test subjects, therefore, act as their own control. Single-subject designs are relevant where behavioral change needs to be observed, as one can not only measure the ...

For those uninitiated, the brain has two hemispheres which is connected with corpus collosum. By cutting the corpus collosum of the brain, the communication between the right and the left hemisphere of the brain is hampered. It was found that by doing this, the seizures among epileptics could me marginally controlled. Now the experiments were conducted on four patients. Following are the thesis points of the experiments/research.

- Will the right hemisphere of the brain be able to communicate with the left hemisphere of the brain if the corpus collosum was severed? - Will the patients with a severed ...

- While conducting research, scientists need to understand the main variables within their experiments. Define and provide an example of both an independent and dependent variable. In any research there are mainly two variables; the independent and the dependent variables. Any scientist needs to understand the variables very well because of the following reasons. First the variable determines the type of methodology that can be used in the study. What this means is that the type or variables would determine how the whole research is carried out. For example, a variable might have qualitative or quantitative aspects that would ...

The research question is both relevant and interesting. The Parahippocampal white Volume Predicts ad Risk In Cognitively Normal Old Adults published on 17 Jan 2014, the study found out that PWM atrophy provided a sensitive MRI biomarker of dementia risk among those with normal cognitive function. The abstract begins by examining the previous studies that had been done on the subject. All of the studies documented concentrated on the gray matter and its predictive of the cognitive decline yet very little had been done on the white matter as a probable MRI biomarker predictive of AD. The study investigated Parahippocampal white ...

The following paper discusses white-collar crime, its effect on society, and theories to address this issue. There will first be a discussion of what white-collar crime is and who are the usual offenders. From there the discussion will shift to the reasoning behind the crime these perpetrators commit. To finish the paper we will look at a case study completed on the mindset of white-collar criminals and I will present two solutions to a problem that could greatly effect the future of our society. There are a variety of sources used for this research including books and a scholarly article. The attempt is not ...

Out of all the professions that individuals pursue, the medical profession is one of the most mind intensive. Professionals in this field usually have to undergo intensive session of training for a long time. This is because human health is a very sensitive issue that requires those charged with the responsibility of maintaining it to be competent and efficient. Because of the sensitivity of human health, the professional in this field are viewed as very powerful. In some situations, the health and wellbeing of a person is placed in the hands of a medical professional, and if the medical professional does not do ...

Social learning theory came about during the late 1800s. William James’ and Dollard and Miller research in 1941 formed the foundation for the 1963 development of the theory and concepts by Bandura. Researchers note that Bandura was the first theorist to apply the social learning theory to education. However, in 1983, Bandura renamed the theory as Social Cognitive Theory. Additionally, Bandura detached his theory from the behaviorists’ theory because he did not believe that the environment had any influence on the theory. Over the years, Bandura conducted numerous studies, but the most popular of these studies included young children ...

Concrete acts as one of the most essential and cost-effective construction material made from a mixture of sand, cement, aggregates, and water. Cement acts as a binder for holding all the components together. Engineers working in the construction site must understand the purpose of the construction because different structures require different concrete strengths. The strength of cement paste used controls the overall strength of concrete that depends on the water-cement ratio. The following experiment was conducted to investigate different mechanical and physical properties of concrete.

Materials used: Aggregate (coarse and fine), sand, cement, water, compressive machine, cylindrical and rectangular molds, timer, ...

Evidence-Based practice (EBP) is a problem solving approach to the provision of healthcare to patients and families (Bennett, 2009). The history of EBP as a concept can be traced back to the 1970s and 1980s to the works of epidemiologists at McMaster University, Canada. EBP developed partially as a response to the scathing critic of the practice of medicine by Archibald Cochrane (Cohen, Stavri, and Hersch, 2003). Cochrane accused medical practice at the time of not being evidence-based. He argued that the treatments, tests, procedures, and interventions used at the time had no evidence on their effectiveness (Cohen, Stavri, and Hersch, 2003). ...

It was a qualitative study, using a standardized set of open-ended questions posed in the same way and same order the the participants. In analyzing the data, two researchers independently coded the themes, and then compared results. Their percentage of agreement was sufficient for statistical validity. The ...

Each section of a peer reviewed article as a specific purpose. For example, the abstract and introduction are typically used to state the purpose of the paper and to display evidence to support the paper’s claim. In regards to the peer reviewed article about divorce’s impact on aggression in young males, the abstract and introduction perform these acts inadequately. The abstract states the procedure and results of the rest, rather than the purpose of the test. Varying evidence was stated in the abstract, but not enough to detract from the revealing results. In comparison, the introduction stated the purpose ...

Lab report #4 Section 214

Objective: Hook’s is a fundamental topic of physics and few divisions of engineering like Civil and Mechanical engineering. This law helps to perceive elastic property of a material. As per this principle of physics, force needed to compress or extend a spring by some amount of distance is proportional to the distance. If F is force and x is distance, then as per Hook's law, F = -k.X, where k is termed as stiffness and it is constant for a material rather the spring.

Animal experimentation promotes the disrespect of life on planet Earth, and should not be permitted. Many argue that the role of experimenting on animals reinforces cancer research, helping to bring cures to people with all kinds of terrible diseases. Is this true or just an excuse for lazy science? The fact of the situation is that ethics matters. Animals matter. In one article, whose title is unmentionable, deals with ethical approval of research experimentation on both human beings and animals. The two Canadian researchers insist that discussing animal research-testing incurs a lot of legally binding and ethical issues (Tremayne-Lloyd, and ...

It has been observed that, the world is changing a lot from the technological perspective. Hence, it is important for the organizations dealing with large data sets to implement strategies regarding security of these data sets. Big data sets can be referred to as large pieces of information stored in servers, or rather server farms. The traditional means of processing all these data sets will not be useful, and even, there would be a risk of security breach within these data sets. Hence, we are required to implement security analytics that will help in increasing the security of this data and, ...

Drug abuse, or drug addiction, is over dependence on a medication or a drug, legal or illegal. When the mild use transforms into uncontrolled craving, it begins to cause serious problems. The overuse of the drugs begins to alter the way the body and the mind behaves (SAMHSA, 2009). The physical and mental health deterioration is a given, relationships are also affected and the law of the land can pose long-term consequences. The overall costs of drug abuse, including crime-related costs and productivity costs, in United States are estimated to exceed $600 billion annually (Drug Facts, 2012). Among the population abusing ...

David Brooks’ article ‘The Character Factory’, talks about the conflicting assumptions that parents and governments make about children when it comes to decision making about their life outcomes. Brooks says that nearly every parent want their children to develop character to make it in life while the governments be it republican or democratic focus mainly on the economic aspects of the child development. He says that the democrats address the issue of material deprivation of the poor while the republicans adjust the economic incentives or regulatory barriers. Brooks quotes from Reeves’ article, ‘The New Politics of Character’ to further ...

Statistics is the study of how to collect numerical information, its organization, in-depth analysis, and the eventual interpretation of numerical information from data (Longnecker, 2001). It is the science of learning from various data, and of measuring, communicating uncertainty, controlling phenomena, thus providing the navigation that is essential for the course taken by advances in science and society. Statisticians normally apply statistical thinking and the methods of statistics to a wide range of social, scientific, and business endeavors. The areas where statistics is applied include biology, economics, engineering, marketing, medicine, education, sports, public health, and psychology among many others (Rice, ...

The word technology may be in the talk of time for most individuals, however, little do they know what impacts all this development. The existence of visual systems, audio systems and other complex equipment all give credit to the early discoveries. Discovery of atoms, ions and later electrons simplified everything. It is from theses that energy was developed. One of the most promising techniques used by scientists is the charge to mass ratio of electrons. It helped in observing the nature of materials. This lab report aims at analyzing the Sir J. Thompson`s experiment of evaluating charge to ...

Depression is known to influence an individual’s cognition and reaction. With this, studies were analyzed to come up a consistent assumptions and conclusions about how cognition and depression is connected. Cognitive Theories of Depression was discussed. The foundations of cognitive theories of depression was briefly explained, and later focused on studies by Aaron Beck, Dr. Albert Ellis and Martin Seligman. The main principles and assumptions of their works were explained as well as analyzed their objectives and proposals. Moreover, cognitive deficits in depressed individuals were discussed. Furthermore, it was explained how cognitive deficits develop, and the idea of memory ...

This example involves a pharmaceutical company that is testing a new medication to change oxygenation levels. In one group the subjects received the experimental drug while in the other group the subjects did not receive the drug. Subjects in each group were then measured on oxygenation levels. This is not a reversal design in which the groups then are switched in terms of condition. Therefor it is an independent samples test, comparing the means for two different groups. The question posed is whether the mean oxygenation level for Group I (treatment group), is the same as the mean oxygenation level for ...

Survey is a common methodology in qualitative studies. According to Jamison (2006), survey serves three main purposes: to verify experimental results such as using a triangulation method; to identify a fitting hypothesis for a research study; and to relate two or more variables in a study. The advantage of using a survey include the minimization of instrumentation errors and experimental bias, consideration of the anonymity of respondents especially when dealing with very sensitive topics, and the cost effective collection of large data sets. However, the limitation of using a perception survey or attitude survey involves the reliability and accessibility of the data, the adequate representation of a ...

Social media surround us every day. Facebook and Twitter are not only helping us to keep ourselves informed and maintain relationship with the people we know; the social media literally shape our lifestyle. Starting an experiment of seventy two hours without social networks, I could not even imagine the extent to which the social networks have penetrated into our everyday life and mindset. Looking ahead, I should tell that this experiment went successfully, and I learnt a lot about myself, my habits and lifestyle. Having an account in all major social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Forsquare, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube, ...

(1.1) This experiment is about determining the effect of angle of inclination in the acceleration of an object. The independent variable is the angle of inclination of the slope of motion; the dependent variable is the acceleration of the object.

(1.2) The angle of inclination of the slope is directly proportional to the acceleration of the object. Without initial applied force, the only acceleration of the object would only be due to gravity. Thus, the relationship will follow the equation: a=gsinθ Where a is the acceleration of the object, g is acceleration due to gravity, and θ is the ...

Harm of fast food is very high, and its products are the enemies of the digestive system, because they relate to junk food. Of course, if you eat a hamburger a month, special harm to the body it will not do. But if you do a regular fast food meals, as it is happening everywhere in America, obesity and other problems cannot be avoided. Americans, whose food fast food becomes a way of life from childhood, are a good example of such a hazard supply. More than 50 million people in the United States are obese, the average person's weight is about 100 pounds. ...

- Introduction I plan to teach students of grade three about ways and methods they can use to take care of their teeth. Teeth are a vital organ of the body. Healthy teeth are prerequisite for a healthy body. Defective teeth result in malnutrition of the body. Shiny and perfect denture reflects healthy soul residing in a healthy body. The students will be taught the correct method of brushing and flossing of the teeth. The students will be enabled to understand the importance of having healthy dentures. Reason of choosing grade 3- Grade 3 child belongs to age group of ...

In "Future-Oriented People Show Stronger Moral Concerns" (2013), published in Current Research in Social Psychology, Ola Nordhall of Gavle University and Jens Agerstrom of Linnaeus University, showed that students whose focus was on the distant future (ten years from now) demonstrated stronger morality specific to certain questions than students whose focus was on the near future (one week from now). Moreover, people with a more long-term perspective tend to be more ethical themselves. This study's goal was to determine how a person's intrinsic time perspective was related to their present temporal proximity and their moral judgment. Referred to as Construal Level ...

Acupuncture is a unique alternative therapy in which acupoints on the skin are stimulated using various methods with the aim of treating a host of conditions including pain relief. In this paper, I analyze three articles with a special focus on the following components: mechanism of action, therapy, treatment, side effects, contraindications and usefulness in practice. The articles under review have been authored by Martin et al. (2006), Rebhorn et al. (2012) and Hutchinson et al. (2012). Hutchinson et al. (2012) conducted a systematic review in order to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture in the management of chronic non-specific low back pain. ...

These experimental study designs are set designs with some rules. The participants make some decisions on how to make deals in the economy. A card to each seller and buyer is given, and they make decisions. We can provide some given information to them that they cannot change. The demand and the supply might upper bounded, this way no buyer or seller can give or ask price higher than the set price mentioned by the fixed demand and the fixed supply curves. Why experimental studies are required in economics? The experimental studies are done with a limited number of ...

Abstract The paper focuses on the four stages of sleep. The stages happen after long periods of deep sleep, which is usually the last stage. It attempts to establish a relationship between Rapid Eye Movement and Dreaming. Dreams occur during Rapid Eye Movement when an individual is sleeping. Dreaming results from a section of the brain known as the pons. The Pons area of the brain forms the origin of the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) signals. The area stops signals from reaching the spinal cord, which makes the whole body to be immobile (Wilkenman & Plante, 2010, p.2). The statement explains ...

Over the course of American history, one particular group has had, arguably, the most unique and challenging struggle since the end of the Civil War – African-Americans. Having come to this country in the holds of slave ships, been asked for hundreds of years to work as property for white men, and only receiving emancipation from slavery as the result of a bloody civil war, African-Americans already had a long road ahead in terms of asserting their place in American society. All manner of significant events and developments have occurred since then to mark their unique struggles – the fallout of Reconstruction and ...

Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge through different methods. This is what interests many academicians and scholars for centuries. Many scholars would like to know which method would foster learning the fastest and which is the most effective. Thus, learning theories had been developed, improved and constantly evaluated to measure its reliability. This paper would like to distinguish Observational learning from the other learning theories that have often been used interchangeably with the subject of this paper.

Alfred Bandura, a renowned behaviorist proposed a salient technique of learning that does not require reinforcement or the traditional rudimentary precepts in ...

- The scientific method includes the formulation of a particular question, then the posing of a hypothesis, followed by the design and carrying out of the appropriate experiment. Observations are made which can be analyzed and from which clear conclusions can be drawn from. Leading up to this study, the scientists may have observed a reduction in the incidence of diabetes type 2 among people who drink coffee on a regular basis. The hypothesis was that regular coffee drinking reduced blood glucose concentrations and thus the risk of type 2 diabetes in mice. The experimental design would include equal numbers of mice, divided ...

- What are the two types of statistics? (5pts.)

The two types of statistics are descriptive and inferential. In descriptive statistics, the data of a population is summarized graphically or numerically through derivation of statistics related to central tendency and dispersion around the same. The shape and nature of distribution is also used in descriptive statistics. In inferential statistics, the parameters of a population are inferred according to sample statistics. This involves the estimation of statistics of a group allowing for approximation of information data relating to the entire population. In this type of statistics, modeling are used to generate mathematical ...

A coin toss is an action frequently used in everyday life and the theory of probability (e.g., in a probabilistic Turing machine) as a "random generator", outstanding receiver two possible signal: "heads" or "tails". Can be used both as a game and when the need for the random solution of two equally of acceptable (for example, draw in different sports). Theoretical and experimental analysis shows that the result is predictable to a certain extent, at least, if you know the initial data - location, speed and momentum. The coin toss may well be considered as a problem from the Lagrangian mechanics. An important ...

Alpha level refers to the risk of falsely rejecting the null hypotheses, such as there is no difference between variables, treatments or groups. In other words, it amounts to making Type 1 errors. Usually, in experimental designs the alpha level of 0.05 is used which implies a 5% percent chance of rejecting a true hypothesis. It also means that there is a 5% chance that the results in an experiment were obtained randomly- something that experimenters attempt to avoid totally. However, in certain investigations, an alpha level of lower or higher than the commonly used 0.05 might be set. With lower ...

This experiment aims at determining the Young’s Modulus (E) by using the strain gauge technique. It is determined for a simply supported beam by measuring the strain in the beam when it is loaded in 3 point bending. i.e. load is applied exactly at the center of the beam. The bending of a beam is an example of Hooke’s Law, which states that, when an elastic body is strained in any way, the deformation is directly proportional to the applied stress provided the body is not strained beyond its elastic limit. In this experiment, Young’s Modulus is studied ...

Chromatography is a laboratory technique which involves the partitioning of molecules of plant pigments. In this technique a mixture is dissolve in a fluid which carries the unknown analyte to a structure which can hold the material causing the two components to separate. This technique can be categorized as preparative or analytical. By preparative chromatography it means, the separation of a mixture for the purpose of advance utility in this case, the mixture undergoes a purification process. Analytical chromatography on the other hand is prepared in smaller doses of materials and is performed casually to measure the relative proportions of analytes in the mixture. In ...

Specifically, this paper seeks to describe what a drug is and the principles behind the actions of drugs and to detail drug receptor interactions such as specificity, binding, affinity, antagonists, and agonists. In this study, participants performed the Harvard modified step test. The aim of this study of this test is to measure the maximal physical working capacity such as the maximal oxygen intake (Rhyming, 1953). It is hypothesized that maximal working capacity such ...

1. Milgram’s Obedience Experiment is considered as one of the most controversial experiment in the field of research. Arguments questioning the experiment mentioned that most of the procedure involvement violates ethical consideration in experiment administration. The methods in the controversial research impacts the participants because it gives them the impression that they are harming other people, but must continue for the sake of the research. It can cause future harm in the mental state of the participant because it questions both their values and provide them with the wrong impression of research compliance. Cozby &Bates mentioned several actions ...

TA: Mohan Gogineni Lab section: PHY 122/Line # XXXX/Time Slot: XX pm – YY pm Abstract Contact forces occur when two surfaces interact and are in direct contact. These forces can either be normal, which is described as being perpendicular to the surface; and friction, which is parallel to the contact surface and is also known as the force that resists motion, slowing down objects as they move about. There are two types of frictional forces: the static friction force (fs) which is the force that acts on an object at rest to prevent it from sliding; and ...

Psychologists have come up with different theories working towards the human brain and their behavior in relation to various things including their everyday living in relation to the environment. Different ideas/efforts worked at different times in different situations as opposed to the way they were set up. Among a number of theorists and psychologists, Sigmund Freud worked on a theory basing his research on psychoanalytic perspectives, unconscious motives, wishes and urge, the five stages psychosocial development childhood experiences and dream analysis. Another was Ivan Pavlov working on the idea of classical conditioning, associative learning and stimulus – stimulus. He also researched on ...

Group Members: Aim The present practical exercise aims at examining a commercial Panadeine tablet for the presence of codeine and paracetamol using GC-MS. Introduction Methyl morphine, codeine, occurs in opium at low concentrations. Codeine is a pro-drug because it undergoes metabolism or demethylation, in vivo, to form the active analgesic morphine. The experiment 3 involves a pH dependent extraction technique. The process separates the active constituents of Panadeine. Before extracting Panadeine, however, Eosin B undergoes extraction in order to demonstrate the effect of pH on the solubility of the compound. The GC-MC allows for the separation of a mixture ...

The second orifice resulted into 650 m head over jet with a fixed volume of 20 L and a flow rate of 0.70174 L/s. It took 28:53 seconds with 1125 mm throw on the second orifice. In contrast, the third orifice resulted into 560 m head over jet ...

Hormone Variations During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is regarded is one of the most important phase of a women’s life cycle. In addition, pregnancy also encompasses hormonal and physiological changes that are unique in the women’s life cycle. In pregnancy, women experience sudden changes, which includes progesterone and estrogen increases. This also leads to dramatic changes on hormonal functions that affects mood and creates a “glow” among pregnant women. More importantly, hormonal changes during pregnancy poses a significant effect fetal development that also manifests in the changes in physical activities. Having to mention the progesterone and estrogen, medical studies suggests that women ...

Copycat companies have duped many consumers into buying the wrong brands due to the extreme visual similarities between the copycat brands and the leading brands. Indeed many consumers have confessed to having bought copycat brands while thinking they have bought the leading brands. Leading brands have tried to use unique features to help their products stand out. However, copycat companies somehow still find ways on how to maneuver their ways such that their products still resemble the lead products significantly. It has a negative impact on the lead brand companies. Despite the major research studies on copycat branding, no ...

Philosophy John Stuart Mill emphasized on liberalism and the inequality of women in the society. Women posses’ capabilities and intelligence as J. S. Mill believed both men and women have the same mental capacities and the sole reason as to why less participation of women in the science field is a lack of opportunity in the society. It is because of acts such as separate spheres. Women are intelligent in their nurturing force, but this is compared to the General of the military whose nature is to control his servants and to wake up early. J. S. Mill argues ...

Evolutionary Psychology helps people understand their psychological and mental characteristics like language, perception and memory; these are all adaptations resulting from the evolutionary process of natural selection. The purpose of this reasoning is to figure out the biological mechanisms of human beings, and what role psychology plays in them. Various researchers have contributed significant amount of studies to evolutionary psychology, and many are still contributing. One such important contribution was made by James S. Nairne, Sarah R. Thompson and Josefa N.S. Pandeirada during 2007; they stated that because mental processes that take place in human beings are similar ...

The main topic of the audio clip and the Marshmallow video is about controlling children. The audio clip reveals that self-control is one of the three factors that matter for success in life, the other two being I.Q. and family socio-economic status. It states further that self-control is easy to change. However, self-control is easier to develop while the child is still in his early age. Developing self-control is more difficult as the individual is older. In addition, the audio clip relates that children who have self-control at an early age are more likely to be happy and healthy ...

Organization Abstract The experiment aims to provide an insight into the I-V characteristics of some two terminal electronic components in which the components will be setup in a circuit through which voltage will be passed and the resultant current will be measured and recorded. The different components will be found to behave differently under changing voltage and their behavior. The graphs of voltage versus current will be plotted for different components using computer software. The experiment will also allow an opportunity to gain experience in collecting data through computer and setting up simple circuits which can serve as a ...

This study tested if stereotype threat affects people’s choices when answering Implicit Association Test for Race. Stereotype threat is used to describe the psychological phenomenon whereby a negative stereotype about one’s group puts an individual at risk for confirming that negative stereotype (Steele & Aronson, 1995). During President Obama’s inauguration, studies showed that the performance gap between white and black students diminished (Mattimore, 2009). We are interested to know through our study if this change in attitude is reflected by the people’s attitude to the different races as well. Our class gathered 74 participants, 60 females and ...

The effect of heredity and genetics on character has been a puzzle among scientist disciplines for an appreciable amount of time. There has ensued a heated ‘Nature versus Nurture’ argument concerning character. Everyone in the society has always shown an interest to understand what impacts personal behavior and individual character. Researchers have developed several theories and explanations to the relationship between character and genetics. However, other factors like studies, environment, and theoretical models have been accorded some percentage of impact to character. It is a widely agreed concept that the idea of character development and human behavior is abjectly fluid and ...

Super Size Me is a documentary which was produced and starred by Morgan Spurlock. It revolves around Spurlock who offers to carry out an experiment to study the effects of fast food and inadequate exercise on his health. After consulting professional doctors and nutritionists, he decides to eat MacDonald foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Despite knowing the dangers awaiting him, he continues with this experiment for one month.

2. Goal of article: State the research questions and/or hypotheses being investigated (What are they trying to do?) (Four sentences to one paragraph) The researchers in this study wanted to determine the factors that determine an individual’s visual search. The researchers were specifically interested in determining whether individuals register the things they see as a whole and then separate each feature into its component parts or whether visual search is perceptual hence everything that comes into the view is registered in the mind before we become aware of them. Several paradigms were tested in the study, including texture ...

Introduction In this experiment, the set alternative hypothesis was that the rate of oxygen production in Cabomba was significantly different from the rate of oxygen production in Ceratophyllum. This was informed by the report from a previous study by Van and colleagues (1976) that indicated that Cabomba had a lower rate of photosynthesis compared to Ceratophyllum and Hydrilla that had similar photosynthetic rate.

Experimental Design The experimental independent variables were 6 grams for Ceratophyllum and Cabomba organisms while oxygen produced was the dependent variable. Water collected from the pond was used as the control in the experiment. The question ...

Question 9) What was alchemy? What later subjects did it embrace? What was the philosopher's stone? Compare and contrast the alchemical traditions associated with Jabir ibn Hayyan and al-Razi. Islamic scholars wanted to utilize their knowledge and to apply philosophy to the material world. "Alchemy was in some ways the precursor to the modern material sciences of pharmacology (iatrochemistry), chemistry, mining and smelting, and parts of physics and engineering, as well as aspects of biology such as the study of fermentation, decay and reproduction. At a basic level, alchemists were trying to identify, classify, and systematically produce useful or ...

Write a 700-word essay exploring the intellectual gifts of Islam. In the end, what was Islam’s attitude towards the discoveries of ancient scholars and how did that relationship spark the Renaissance Perhaps, when thinking over what Islam gave essential to mankind, the first item comes to mind is a giving a significant unity to people practicing this religion. According to Islam, all of humanity comes from God, being a kind of a single family. All people are equal. People differ in a national belonging, skin color, eye shape and origin, as Allah has divided the people on these grounds only for distinguishing each ...

Conformity refers to the operation of matching attitudes, believes and behaviors to the norms of a group (Cialdini and Goldstein). Norms in this case refer to the unsaid and implicit rules that are shared by a given group of individuals and are responsible in guiding the way these individuals interact with others and in the society or a social group. In psychological, the term conformity is defined as the tendency of an individual to follow the rules that are unspoken or social behaviors that are held by the society where the individual belongs. For a long time, researchers in psychology have been ...

Introduction The discovery and subsequent improvement in forensic science has been a road marred with many challenges. However, despite these challenges, its acceptance as a rudimentary source of evidence in the judicial system is fascinating. Nonetheless, there are copious number of skeptics who argue that the science is based on probability; thus does not fit to be termed as an actual science. (1) Among the source of their skepticism is in evidence collection. In this work, there is an exploration of fingerprint collection on diverse surfaces.

Fingerprints can be identified from several surfaces, which include the porous, non-porous, and semi-porous ...

Executive Summary The DREAM Act is a tuition policy that was meant to benefit the undocumented immigrants’ students. This analysis will try to give an estimation of the effects that this law had on the residents of the United States of America and the aliens. Everybody is entitled to obtain Higher Education, though many argue that these rights should be given to legal citizens in United States of America. The DREAM Act introduced through a legislative proposal in the senate in the 2010. This would enable undocumented high school graduates to get citizenship through two options: joining military or College ( ...

Argosy Online University This research was carried out as partial fulfillment towards the Research Methods course at Argosy University by Lisa Gomez. Abstract The study evaluates the research question: Does health promotion strategies help alleviate stress? The study uses a sample size of twenty five respondents; the five respondents were added to compensate for attrition. The study used the stratified random sampling technique. This technique is appropriate for the study because of the different levels of stressing factors the workers are exposed to due to the nature of their job. The inclusion criterion for the study is ...

The concept of validity was first originated by Stanley and Campbell in 1966 and later elaborated further by Campbell and Cook in 1979. The concept of validity has a significant impact on how researchers evaluate their work. Validity refers to the extent to which to which a given test measures that which it claims to measure. It is important to evaluate the validity of a test to ensure accurate interpretation and application of test results. There are four main types of validity; construct validity, statistical validity, external validity and internal validity. This paper seeks to compare and contrast the characteristics of external, ...

The study carried out by Plante et al was experimental research. This can be realized from the manner in which it was planned and the methodology used. According to Plante et al (198), the study was set up in two experimental groups. The participants actually had to engage in a physical activity though they were divided into different groups. They had to exercise in different environmental and social conditions. The factors were varied so as to give an experimental significance. There are implications for drawing causal conclusions. By varying the conditions in which the participants were exercising, it was much ...

Classical conditioning is a special form of learning, where conditioned stimulus (CS) signals occurrence of another stimulus, called unconditioned (US). US is often chosen in a form of stimulus that is significant from biological standpoint, because it can elicit response from the very beginning, which means that it is unconditioned response (UR). CS, in its turn, results in no special response from the beginning, but after conditioning takes place, this type of stimulus elicits conditioned type of response (CR). One of the basic concepts in this form of learning is pairing – stimuli are usually paired to achieve the necessary outcome. ...

An introduction to this book as published in The Electrical Experimenter, May 1919, described the content as the “remarkable and complete story of his [Tesla’s] discovery of the ‘True Wireless’ and the principles upon which transmission and reception . . . are based”, describing Dr. Nikola Tesla as “The Father of the Wireless” and suggesting that the Hertz wave theory is incorrect. The purpose of Tesla’s short book (circa 28 pages as originally published) is to denounce the accepted Hertz wave theory and to replace it by his own, convincing theories.

Because Maxwell’s electro-magnetic theories fascinated scientists of the ...

Genetically modified foods are grown yet there is little information given about it. Scientists and the general public are arguing if the genetically modified food is safe for consumption or not. There is anxiety in the public domain over this matter because there is little scientific research done on it. Furthermore, there is no efficient technology to measure its toxicity. Thus, genetically modified foods are products of plants, animals or microorganisms whose genetic code is altered. Alteration of genetic makeup is done by the introduction of a foreign Deoxyribonucleic acid into the genes of the living organism. The method used ...

Michael Faraday was born on 22 September 1791 in the southern part of London. Due to his disadvantaged background, he was not able to attend full education only achieving basic literacy (Faraday 1). At the age of 14, he apprenticed under a local bookbinder. For the next 7 years, he educated himself by reading books on a wide range of subjects mostly scientific (Hamilton 23; Scientific papers). In 1812, at the age of 20, Faraday received some tickets for a series of lectures conducted by the eminent scientist Humphrey Davy of the Royal University of Great Britain. He attended four lectures and ...

The experiment aims at determining the value of gravitational acceleration (g) using simulation of objects under free fall, vertical acceleration, and objects in a projectile motion. Bodies fall under the influence of gravitational forces. The force mg acts on the body. However, when such objects are falling under the influence of gravity, such motions are referred as free fall. The assumption underlying free fall motions is that they do not encounter air resistance. The motion of free falling objects is characterized by a downward acceleration. The equations of motions are modified as shown below. V (t) = -gt +V0
