Nate Silver’s introduction to The Signal and the Noise offers up an intuitive definition of the split between prediction and forecast. Prediction is judgemental and accounts for future changes and opinions, whereas forecast is pure scientific fact and interpretation of the past events. Neither are anywhere close to perfectly predicting any scenario, but there are times where one produces a mostly accurate estimation of the future. Each strategy has its strengths and weaknesses, which Silver…

Three 3X3” plant pots labelled as A, B, and C were used during our experiment. Each pot contained standard soil media with basic nutrients, and 3 Arabidopsis seeds. All pots were watered with appropriate Hoagland’s Solution formulation three times per week over the next 4 weeks. Pot A (phosphate limitation group) was given a phosphate reduced Hoagland’s solution, whereas Pot B (nitrogen limitation group) was watered with nitrate reduced Hoagland’s solution. Pot C (control) is the control plant…

Literature Review Ⅰ. HOTSPOT MAPPING Hotspot can be defined as aggregations of raw crime data that identify geographic locations of highest incident concentration (Ratcliffe and McCullagh, 1999; Chainey and Ratcliffe, 2005). Hotspots have been formally recognized in the literature as early as 1751 when Henry Fielding suggested focusing on areas of high crime to deter offenders. A notable example of policing with hotspot is the study by Sherman et al., (1989), which found that over 50.4% of all…

Results McGill pain questionnaire Melzack (1975) developed the Mcgill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) in 1975 to assist in evaluating the subjective pain experiences of clients noting that different pain has unique qualities. It made up of 78 pain descriptions divided into three categories, sensory, affective and evaluate (Boyle, Boerresen & Jang, 2015; Melzack, 1975; Melzack, 2005). Malzack (1975) described the three main measures as the pain rating index, which is based on the value assigned to…

Introduction Enzymes are specialized proteins that act as catalysts. Enzymes are a key part of many biological processes because they are capable of lowering the activation energy of a chemical reaction. By lowering the activation energy enzymes are able to speed up reactions allowing for multiple chemical processes to occur at a faster rate in many living organisms. Enzymes work by binding to specific molecules called substrates. The enzyme observed in this experiment was amylase and its…

Homeopathic Therapy Survey Homeopathic therapy can be an alternative or an adjunct to current medical treatment of both acute and chronic diseases and medical processes. Most patients who try homeopathic therapy subjectively state the methods displayed efficacy (Pomposelli et al., 2016). However, unless providers are specifically trained in homeopathic methods, this genre of healthcare can be overlooked. More knowledge was desired of current medical providers’ thoughts on homeopathic medicine,…

There is little doubt public education in the United States is under intense scrutiny from the American public in recent years. In Mississippi, years of negative student outcomes have created a great deal of negative publicity for the state’s public schools. It is important for educators, whether at the district level, research level, or policymaking level, to continue to study available data to identify areas of weakness with the realm of education and work collaboratively to remedy those…
