Mystery Black Powder: Living or Non-living? Based on the evidence provided I have to say that the mystery black powder is non-living. This is based upon the fact that we have no proof that it has any of the characteristics of a living thing. All living things have six characteristics, they all have cells, they all use energy, they all grow and develop, they all reproduce, they respond to their environment, and they all adapt to their environment. Based on these characteristics we cannot…

Videogames have been distracting young children from reality for decades while simultaneously allowing them to learn a multitude of skills. A case study which exemplifies these characteristics was conducted on a 4 year old biracial girl who sustained second and third degree burns to her shoulders, neck, chest, forearms, and her left thigh caused by an accidental scald injury (Sil et al, 2012). Yet, she remarkable had no damage towards her face along with no complications with her motor, hearing,…

Introduction Termites, Isotera, are known to react to the exposure of the chemical substance found in ball point pens. Naturally, termites will follow any trail made up of pen ink. This specific observation was tested and carried out by Sim et al. They “investigated how termites select the direction of movement at an artificially-designed branching node, by making chemical trails on filter paper, drawing lines using a ballpoint pen which contained the chemical substance that induces the termite…

Method Participants 19 college students of Florida State College at Jacksonville participated in an anonymous online survey which collected zero demographical information. The students were handed a physical laptop in class and asked to answer the 10 survey questions they saw on the screen. This survey was handed out 5 after Hurricane Matthew passed by the Florida Coast (Hurricane caused a loss internet, power and cellphone service for some parts of the area). Procedure A survey was created…

I believe that this statement is 100 percent true because without the use of facts nothing can be proven, however theories can help us create facts. With the development of theories there is a basic necessity for proof. The only way to prove a theory is with experimentation, which will lead to be factual information once experimented on. Of course there are some exceptions like in religion there are plenty of theories and none are based off of factual evidence. When it comes to Heaven and Hell…

Social Comparison. The inclusion of social comparison within the TIM stems from social comparison theory (Festinger, 1954). According to Festinger (1954), individuals have an inherent drive to evaluate their opinions and abilities. When objective standards are unavailable, individuals seek out others to make comparisons. The outcome of such comparisons is partially influenced by directionality, that is upward or downward. Upward comparisons are proposed to occur when an individual compares him-…

(B2 149) Tuesday (9:30am -12:20pm) Date of Experiment: 21/10/2014 INTRODUCTION The purpose of spectroscopy is to observe the relationship between substances in a solvent, and the associated absorbance and transmittance through a range of concentrations (Lothian & Twyman, 1969). However, one must understand the underlying principles of the electromagnetic spectrum in order to analyze the results of the techniques used in this experiment. When one notices the color of an…

(ARI). PETA as well as ARI are groups helping to uncover what really happens in these labs. By knowing the experimenting of animals, do not really help in medical advancement, and the risk it is posing on our society, Scientists say that animal experiments are not to show the safety or effectiveness of the drugs on human beings, but they help us to decide whether a particular drug should be tested on…

In the 1930s, Dr. Ingle and his team set up a series of experiments in order to better understand the working relationship between the pituitary and adrenal glands. They hypothesized that the release of cortin from the adrenal cortex was regulated by the anterior lobe of the pituitary. At the time, it was established that treating animals with high doses of cortin caused the adrenal cortex to regress, and that the same effect was also observed when mice were hypophysectomized. Dr. Ingle…

doctors carried out at least thirty different experiments on prisoners (Tyson, "The Experiments"). They weren’t crazy scientists, rather they were actually well-learned doctors. They’re crimes to humanity were well planned and thought out. They tried to hide the evidence of what they had done, even years later their samples still remain. Nazi human experimentation, though not well known, was one of the most horrific parts of World War II. The experiments were centered in many concentration…
