Morphological analysis was devised by a Swedish astrophysicist, Fritz Zwicky, who devised a structured method for investigating into many possible relationships of complex problems. It combines many methods which may have similar structures to breakdown a system , process or product into essential sub-parts, each part representing a dimension in a multi-dimensional matrix. Morphological analysis brings together two components such as dimensions and options of dimensions. These dimensions and…

FeTiP or Fe(Ti+Nb)P precipitates were observed in each sample, while much more incidence was that of the precipitates with niobium as without it. Precipitates without niobium FeTiP were observed only in 5 samples, in a ratio of 8:1,the Fe(Ti+Nb)P being the one with greater values. Oval shapes of Fe(Ti+Nb)P were observed after recrystallization annealing at the grain bounadries and also inside the grain itself. At the grain boundary in the sample with a lower coiling temperature of 565 °C was…

General questions: In general questions have try to collect general and demographic information about respondents. This section includes 4 questions (gender, age, education, and occupation). B) Specialized questions: This section contains 49 questions. In the design of this section, the questions of the questionnaire have been as comprehensible as possible. To design this section, a five-choice Likert spectrum has been used, which is one of the most commonly measure scales. The general form and…

In Willems et al’s study of proprioception deficits among athletes with high rates of recurring lateral ankle sprains, they found that almost all of their subjects tended to under shoot the needed ankle during the test (Willems et al., 2002). In this study they had 4 groups of athletes to study. The control group were individuals who had no prior ankle injuries (Willems et al., 2002). The Instability group were individuals that had suffered from more than three inversion sprains and complained…

The Stroop effect by John Ridley was done in the year of (1935). The experiment tested the interference in serial verbal reactions. Frank H Durgin (2000) suggested that the Stroop effect was a way to prove that humans cannot multitask. Durgin also states that habit and strength are not responsible for the delay in reaction time. The processing speed theory states that there is an interference when a participant names black inked colors and when they name colors that are printed in different…

Summary: Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that activates different dopamine receptors throughout the central nervous system. As mostly invertebrates have been studied in the past, the researchers wanted to focus on vertebrates in this study in order to determine the evolutionary patterns of these receptors. Five dopamine receptor genes were studied in five different mammals, and it was discovered that genes that are expressed more broadly have slower evolutionary rates than genes that are…

To conclude my hypothesis was completely wrong and the fastest pipe was the small plastic pipe, which I predicted would be the slowest pipe. The average time the plastic pipe took to roll down the ramp was 0.86 seconds. The time was 0.01 seconds faster than the pipe that finished second, which was the steel pipe. The small plastic pipe had the smallest inertia, which was 0.000003 and finished first. Also the small plastic pipe had the smallest rotational and kinetic energy compared to the rest…

Copper-alloy miniature votive dagger. The pommel is uneven and spherical with a ridge at the top. The pommel narrows into the slightly curved grip. The guard is a square shape with two parallel grooves on each side. The blade narrows into a dulled point. There is a round hole three-quarters of the way up the blade. The back is chipped on the left edge of the blade near the point (as seen in figure 1) and has furrows on the blade below the hole. The front has scratches on the blade above both…

Review of article #1 This article is an un-randomized control trial to explore “the impact of mindfulness training for nursing staff on their levels of mindfulness, compassion satisfaction, burnout, and stress” (Honore, Pierce. Eure & Woodbridge, 2014, p.198). This study also gave a consideration to the impact of mindfulness on patient satisfaction. From the above level of evidence scale, this is a level III of the hierarchy. Validity. In this pilot study, a volunteered nursing unit,…

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between schizotypal personality and social cognitive functioning, in particular empathy and ToM. It was hypothesised that higher schizotypy would be associated with lower empathy and further, that negative schizotypal traits would have a higher association with lower empathy than positive schizotypal traits. Results from this study support the hypothesis as schizotypy was found to be negatively correlated with empathy, such that higher scores on…
