Science Experiments Essay

that if the crime involved using one’s beauty to persuade innocent victims (e.g., swindling), they expected beautiful defendants to receive longer (more harsh) sentences than the other two defendants. (Sigall, Ostrove 1975). After they ran their experiments the results proved that Signall and Ostrove hypothesis…

of Goldfish in Dark vs. Ambient Light Introduction Metabolism is an interesting field of study to better understand what is happening inside of the body of different organisms that keep them alive. Goldfish (Carassius auratus) were used for this experiment since these small animals metabolism can be easily influenced by different variables. This is due to the fact that goldfish are poikilothermic whose internal temperature is influenced by their surroundings. Oxygen consumption was used to…

The prerequisites provided by Achinstein insufficiently capture all of the evidential relationships. Here it is important to look for prerequisites that cover the whole landscape and demarcate it into sensible divisions. Reiss (2015) argues that a theory of evidence should be informative about how to gather evidence and when to be justified in believing a hypothesis on the basis of evidence in non-ideal scenarios as well as ideal ones. He puts forward four desiderata for a theory of evidence. It…

In the first study, it was hypothesized that with incremental-theory teaching, it would help an adolescent to respond to social stress through challenge type attitude. At the beginning of the experiment, each participant have electrocardiography and blood-pressure measured. There were two groups, in which one would be given an incremental-theory or control group reading and writing exercises. Those in incremental theory group, they are given insights…

The overlying questions asked in this experiment were: does the dissolution of metal ions (Ni and Co) from NMC particles into solution change over time as well as to how small particles (glucose) affect this dissolution. From the wet chemistry Figure 3b, it can be seen that the concentration of Co appears to begin and remain between 7 and 10 μM, meaning that the majority of dissolution takes place immediately when the solution is constructed, then increases at a slow rate onwards. This does not…

Evaluative conditioning is defined as a change in liking, which occurs due to an association with a positive or negative stimulus (De Houwer et al, 2001). An example of how evaluative conditioning is used in the real world is positive association, for example, in influencing our food likes and dislikes. A previous study by Hollands et al (2011) looked at whether pairing images of energy-dense snack foods such as cakes and biscuits, with images of potential effects such as obese people could…

determine. The other approach is inverse calibration method in which macro parameters are measured and by simulating the same application using DEM, the micro parameters are calibrated to obtain closest results to the measured macro parameters in the experiment (Marigo and Stitt, 2015). Using second approach may cause the micro parameters to lose their physical meaning. Where in the first approach the exact shape and size presentation of the particles are required for simulation to get accurate…

Experiment Testing Organic Molecules in Commercially Available Protein Supplements Introduction In this experiment, my lab partners and I examined three different samples of protein supplements in order to test for organic molecules such as sugar, starch, and protein. The average consumer that purchases protein supplements, such as those we examined in lab, use them for physical fitness. This means that they would be searching for the protein powder with the most amount of protein and least…

priming presents when interrupted by visual and auditory simulations/masks, in order to prove that the priming effects is contingent to intuition/knowledge. Two experiments were conducted; each consisted of twenty-four students from Lyon 2 University in France, who were all right-handed and had normal/corrected vision. The first experiment focused on visual priming, which consisted of six practice trials and six experimental trials. Each student was instructed to quickly respond/answer which…

more about curing diseases that are fatal to humans. There must be a middle ground to the rules of animal testing that would keep the animal from unnecessary suffering, but would allow the scientist to continue the use of animals to proceed with experiments. There are pros and cons to animal research, but when you are looking at saving human lives, the pros outweigh the cons. If there are no other alternatives to finding a cure for a disease, animals should be used for experimental research.…
