Efficient-market hypothesis

Step 1. Make Drosophila culture medium First, to prepare a culture medium, four plastic vials were obtained and labeled with numbers 1 – 4. In each of the four vials, two teaspoons of medium mixture were added. Next, using a graduated cylinder, tap water (10 mL) was added to each vial containing the culture medium. Upon addition of water, white culture medium turned blue. Additional amounts of tap water were added to each vial to provide more moisture. Next, three grains of yeast were…

In the book “the Signal and the noise”, author Nate Silver talks about prediction from many different angles. Silver explains how prediction is a part of our everyday life and how it affects us. From math to history, inside of a class room or on a court/field, prediction is something we deal with on a day to day basis unconsciously. Silver talks about the benefits of failure and how failure is helpful in the long run with making predictions. Throughout the years we have made progress with…

Personal Identity theories hold a great deal of interest for metaphysical and ethical philosophers. Many attempt to determine wherein diachronic personal identity exists. Bernard Williams presents multiple thought experiments regarding personal identity in his chapter titled “The Self and the Future”. His thought experiments attempt to provoke answers to questions of personal identity. He presents situations in which bodies and brains are switched, and then asks the question, whose well-being…

After reading and referring to the two articles that were provided, in my opinion I think the Daubert Standard is the best for Florida. The best cases are known to thrive from scientific evidence that can be used in court and deemed to be very important in these cases. Most judges and lawyers are not technically trained (education, work experience, or knowledge) of the evidence in a particular field such as Forensic Science. The decision to involve expert witnesses in a case can provide…

The author of “Anomaly and the Emergence of Scientific Discoveries” discusses the difficulty that arises when trying to acknowledge an idea as a discovery. The questions raised are: when something is discovered, who made the discovery, is there record of who/when a discovery was made, and when is an idea actually a discovery. Kuhn advances the idea of a discovery by connecting it to the creation of a scientific revolution. He discusses that “a discovery begins with the awareness of anomaly”…

I had the opportunity to observe Mrs. Stevens classroom at NorthStar Educational and Therapeutic Services. In her classroom she has a total of six students ranging in grade level k-5. Each of her students have an Individualized Education Programs. On the first day of my observation, I observed Mrs. Steven and her paraprofessional interact with the students during breakfast, warm-up, and during I-Ready English Language Arts and/or Math. During breakfast, the class sat together, as the staff…

The impact on of being observed The impact of the observation on the Amy might have contributed to what is known as the Hawthorn effect (cited in Maclean and Baker 2013) and Amy may have changed her behaviour knowing she was been observed. My reflections ‘in action’ were feelings of confusion, the process of allowing two professional strangers inside your property making judgements while Amy waited outside for me. Reflecting with criticality did she modify her behaviour so I could observe her…

number of breaths also decreased. The mean of the average number of breaths is 69.24. The number of breaths in the study ranged from 16 to 135 breaths per minute. The null hypothesis, that the temperature of the water has no effect on the number of breaths per minute, can be rejected. The results support the alternative hypothesis. The control fish number of breaths per minutes remained constant in the study. Goldfish are ectotherms animals; the goldfish body temperature depends on the…

(Conservation Commission of Missouri, 2015). This immense variety of environments corresponds with a variety of light sources, colors, frequencies and intensities. The relation of this experiment to the Planarian’s living conditions correlates to the hypothesis tested in this experiment. If light has a higher frequency it is predicted the Planarian will travel the distance of the field diameter quicker, and on the reverse, when a light with a lower frequency is present the Planarian’s movement…

“ring” like bells（1）, not all of them endless displays of wildflowers (2), change into different colors, sometimes appears as veins of brown and red throughout the rock, and how it forms are considered as the ringing rock’s four mystery natures from now and on. It was said ,Ringing Rocks Park that situated near the small Delaware River community of Upper Black Eddy possesses this “ringing” quality,was the largest boulder field in Pennsylvania . The ring human can hear is not the first sound, but…
