For my Do-It-Yourself Primatology project I chose to research how Indiana University male and female students behave differently in public when they are eating with a group of friends, versus eating on their own among strangers. I found this question to be thought provoking because of the fact that Indiana University is a very diverse school with people from many different cultures and backgrounds. For this experiment I broke the variables down into four different categories; my first category…
The practice of agriculture, since its early beginnings, has suffered from pests and diseases that cause large losses. Over the last 100 years, the hunt for an effective pesticide has become crucial for agriculture. However, the use of these pesticides have brought more harm than good. Methoxychlor is a synthetic, organochlorine pesticide developed to replace dichlorophenyltrichloroethane (DDT) in 1948. It was preferred due to its low toxicity in mammals and shorter half life than that of DDT,…
Estimating IQ: Comparing male and female predictions Introduction The idea of using an individual’s self-estimated IQ (SEI) to judge their humility has been used frequently, as asking people to guess their own humility would likely be as inaccurate as their IQ estimates. In the majority of studies performed, there has been a significant difference between male and female estimates, this could be due to females being too humble or males being more conceited. The area itself is an important…
Nano-dots in Mammalian Gametes Imagining1 The Nano-dots, or Quantum Dots (QD), are nano-scale semiconductor devices with diameter up to 10nm, which were first discovered in 1980s2. Once stimulated, they give emission of light with specific colours, which is then visualised1-3. These nano particles have high size-tunability, once illuminated, different emission wavelength can be obtained by manipulating the size of dots3. Inorganic QDs are made up of two components, an atom-cluster core with…
Different disciplines have add terms that can be used indistinguishing {Webb:1999jd} and the lack of standardization has resulted in a confusing terminology. An important contribution for the study of evolution of flowers occurred when the gamete production became more quantitative rather than qualitative measuring their contribution to the genes to the afterward generations at population levels {Lloyd:1972fw, Lloyd:1975ju, Lloyd:1976hd}, and the spatial or temporal development whiting or…
When examined closely different gender roles affect culture by creating a status quo within society. The gender and the stereotype of an individual vary within all individuals. One's role in a society is determined on how they view themselves and equality. In the drama Trifles, by Susan Glaspell, un-stereotypical characters of contradicting gender roles are used to show men’s superiority over women and how equality is not enforced. Glaspell uses gender roles to distinguish between…
Introduction The most recognizable characteristic in the Buceros rhinoceros is the casque above the bill. Buceros rhinoceros species are part of the family Bucerotidae which are omnivorous birds that defend a fixed territory (Kitamura, 2011). In this species we can identify sexual dimorphism. As it can be noticed by pure observation, there is a few differences between sexes. The most significant detectable variations are body and casque length. Adult males show both larger bodies and casques…
A Lizoabat was last seen by a U.S drone flying across Panama. At first the creature was thought to be an Unidentified Flying Object because it was moving at 110mph. fortunately with the advancement of technology, image of the creature was magnified over 100x. The drone actually caught a very rare glimpse of this creature. Lizoabats are fairly large farquars with unknown origins. Some people believe that the Lizoabat is a relative of the dragon, but no researcher has made a successful attempt at…
Purpose: Meiosis is the process by which cell division results in the production of new cells containing half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. These cells are recognized as gametes and can recombine in order to create a zygote during fertilization. The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate a clear understanding of the reproductive process and fertilization, through the presentation of a flow chart of this process in mythical dragons. Method: Step 1) Creative title Step 2)…
While implantation occurs, blastocyst is being concerted into gastrula, in which three germ layers from and embryonic membranes develop. The beginning is when the inner cell mass differs into two layers which are the epiblast and the hypoblast. Both of these cells form four embryonic membranes which are the amnion, the yolk sac, allantois, the umbilical cord, and the chorion. The amnion provides a buoyant environment which protects the embryo from physical trauma and helps maintain a constant…
