A theory collectively organizes a series of evidences, observations, generalizations from a series of hypotheses under a specific assumptions and limitations to describe and predict phenomena. The validity of a theory depends on its strength to withstand falsifiability and its application to the real world. Theories could be classified based on their scope and level of generalization within the hierarchy of knowledge (Elo et al., 2013). In social sciences, there is a distinction in the characteristics of a grand theory and middle-range theory. Grand theories consist of a very broad scope of general framework that focuses on the natures and goals of a discipline. This type ...

Abstract

As we know, we have a set of control measurement to get the pH at 6.5. However, these settings are not giving required result. So, within our accessible resources, we will conduct a factorial experiment on two levels to find the best setting to get the pH reach 6.5 +/- 0.5. The details of the plan are given below.

Abstract

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 ...

The relationship between grand nursing theory and clinical practice provides the framework that offers decision-making and organizational structure analysis during new situations. Furthermore, they give a structure for communicating with other nurses together with other health care team. ...

Introduction

In general, markets do not adjust automatically to bring about equilibrium. Thus, historically, many economists, including John Keynes, recommended the need for government intervention. In his book, ‘ The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money’, Maynard Keynes asserts that the government should intervene actively in order to manage the level of aggregate demand in an economy so as to bring about desired level of employment and output. His argument is attributed to the fact that wages are rigid and, thus, may not fall enough to clear the market and solve the unemployment problem. Broadly, the government can intervene in ...

Abstract

Amylase from Bacillus Subtilis and Aspergillus oryzae were studied as representative candidates for bacterial and fungal enzymes, respectively. The activities of these two enzymes were studies comparatively over a period of 10 minutes and at temperatures of 0, 40, 60 and 95°C. The experiment was conducted to find the most effective temperatures for bacterial amylase and fungal amylase to catalyze starch hydrolysis. The data suggest that fungal enzyme was relatively more active, particularly in the first 6 minutes, than the bacterial counterpart at 0°C. On the other hand, the fungal enzyme activity deteriorated more rapidly than that ...
