Evenness of zero

Crayfish are freshwater crustaceans that use their claws called chelipeds,for warning off predators. When frightened, these crayfish lift their chelipeds to make threatening gestures, all while moving backwards or staying still. We examined how long it would take for crayfish to calm down once removed from the water and if the temperature had any influence to this observation. To do this, we placed two crayfishes in room temperature water and another two in colder water for an interval of five…

almost as many who act unethically. This paper examines a single incident where Meaghan Fields let her temptation and longing for love dictate her actions. These actions ultimately violated the zero tolerance policy (and other laws as well) that were upheld by her department. The issue with enforcing the zero tolerance policy results in a higher likelihood that people will violate it, thus leading to ethical dilemmas. Regardless of the issue of trying to enforce this policy, there are still ways…

The Effect of Cellular Respiration at Low and High Temperatures Introduction Cellular respiration can include two processes, aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The main purpose of cellular respiration is to breakdown sugars into smaller structures so that the cell can use it as energy (Reece, et al. 2014). The main concept of the respiration lab is aerobic respiration. This is the process that organic compounds will be degraded from oxygen to produce water, carbon dioxides, and…

Introduction: Aerobic cellular respiration is the process in which energy is being released from organic compounds by chemical oxidation. In this lab we compared the change of the consumption of oxygen in germinating peas as it underwent changes in temperatures of either ten degrees Celsius, or 22 degrees Celsius (room temp.) to the oxygen consumption of dried peas as it also underwent the same temperatures of ten and 22 degrees Celsius. I hypothesized that the germinating peas would consume…

Introduction: There is a direct relationship between temperature and pressure in gases. The relationship can be proven by measuring pressure, which is measured with a pressure sensor, and temperature, which is measured with a temperature probe. Two areas remain constant throughout this experiment, which are volume of the gas and the number of molecules the gas itself contains. In this experiment, using the constructed apparatus, an Erlenmeyer flask with an air sample will be placed in four…

bullying cases reached the news including Hiroki’s fate, Japan has recently eyed the zero-tolerance policy. This policy is not the correct answer to bullying, however, as it does not solve the underlying problems that led to bullying in the first place. There are a multitude of reasons behind bullies, such as trouble at home, lack of adequate compassion, lack of training in empathy, or even psychological disorders. Zero tolerance policies would not solve all of these problems. A source from…

Introduction: Based on preliminary research, the hypothesis of the present study was that at temperatures higher or lower than 40 degrees Celsius fermentation is inhibited. Alcoholic fermentation is used in food production such as brewing, winemaking, and baking (Campbell). Thus optimizing fermentation and understanding the effect of various environmental factors can have important economic and social benefits. The production of CO2 is being assessed to show the rate of fermentation at certain…

After doing some research, I looked at a number of issues effecting the environment which are caused by humanity in its relations with the earth and life on it. There were discussions conducted and utilized readings which were assigned to different topics involving the environment. The main focus evolved around climate change; the causes and possible outcomes. However there are more problems on determining the ethics of our solutions than actual solutions. What are we doing to protect the…

In recent years government leaders have begun to address the expanded use of zero tolerance policies in schools. In 2012, the State of Michigan Department of Education (MDOE) published a resolution to address school discipline and issues impacting student outcomes. This resolution reinforced what research has already shown in regards to the negative impacts on students who are suspended or expelled and strongly urges schools in Michigan to “adopt discipline policies without mandated suspensions…

Introduction
 The school to prison pipeline and zero-tolerance policies are a nationwide epidemic that is affecting our students beginning in their primary years of education, such as preschool through their post secondary education, or even post graduate level. Through zero-tolerance policies both students and educators are becoming victims to this social construct. Yes, there are plenty of questions to be asked of the students because they are essentially our future, yet a major component that…
