As a result, a revision and improvement of the DSM-IV in DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition)…

rates were plotted as a function of substrate concentration to obtain Michaelis-Menten plot. Lineweaver - Burk plot was built to obtain kinetic parameters KM and kcat. The activation volume 〖ΔV〗^≠was derived from the slope of logarithmic Vmax dependence on pressure p. The raw data, Michaelis-Menten plot, The double reciprocal plot, i.e, Lineweaver - Burk plot and logarithmic plot of vmax (in relation to the rate at ambient pressure) as a function of pressure for the hydrolysis of the…

data and find a line that best fits the data. This will show the line that best represents my data in the scatter plot. Standard deviation will help me find the desperation of the data. Next, I will locate correlation coefficient in my data. Correlation coefficient will show the linear dependence of height and three-point percentage. All these tests will help me draw on the relationship between NBA players height and their three-point…

start out as e-cigarette users end up being dual users of e-cigarettes and tobacco cigarettes or sole tobacco cigarette users.2 To point to their finding of lower nicotine dependence in e-cigarette users, it can be said that when taking time into account, those having been sampled could have just begun their nicotine dependence journey, thus the illusion of lower nicotine…

The issue of suburban sprawl is the most pressing problem in the 30114 zip code. I choose this zip code as opposed to the zip code where I live 30064, because I'm constantly observing and critiquing sociological information where I live, so I choose to observe a different area from a sociological perspective. My boyfriend lives in…

Studies show there is a correlation between the personality traits of people and the use of substances (alcohol, opiates, smoking, stimulants, etc.). For example, opiate dependence has been the result of emotionally unstable people (Kornor and Nordvik 2007). Therefore, it is important to this relationship to gain a better understanding of how it affects people’s moods and behaviors. The use of stimulants (cocaine, heroin, marijuana, cigarettes) negatively impacted the United States in the health…

common myth about mental illness and violence don’t square with the continuous amount of the research evidence. When people talk about this perception of mental illness, it usually covers a broad range of disorders, including alcoholism, cocaine dependence, schizophrenia, depression, and etc. With an increase in mass murders and other horrific violence, people began…

biases in how the questioning was conducted (Gerbner, Living). However, additional biases could have potentially included a limited sampling size, a social desirability bias, and/or an acquiescence bias. With the personal nature of the study and the dependence on polling something as abstract as a perspective, there are many variables. With only having three surveys with a total of 2,010 participants, there was a limited sampling size. Based on the questions asked by the questionnaire, it could…
