camera, a visible and electromagnetic mapping spectrometer, gamma ray and a neutron spectrometer. The radiometric and optical navigation data will provide data relating to the gravity field in addition to the instruments. According to Jet Propulsion Laboratory since April 11, Dawn has been aiming its camera to the left and forward as it orbits and Ceres rotates. By May 25, it will have mapped most of the globe from that angle. Then it will start all over once more, looking instead to the right…

apparent within the placement of Stern’s name on abstracts. Stern’s name is more popularized compared to other graduate students, making it appear as if her role in experimentation is more important than her peers. Moreover, professionalism within the laboratory is disturbed as research colleagues are aware of Martin’s and Stern’s romance. They are also aware of the special treatment that Stern receives. In the lab, Martin is suppose to mentor all of the graduate researchers equally, and place…

splitting of atomic nuclei with very precise calculations into plutonium or uranium. The United States did not want Germany to gain so much power from the bomb, so they raced for the creation of the first atomic bomb. Oppenheimer had the Los Alamos Laboratories built to hold his calculations of the atomic bomb, as well as do some small scale tests. He hired over three thousand physicists to come and help him discover the way that they could control when the splitting of an atom would occur.…

In discussions of animal testing, one controversial issue has been whether animals can feel emotions as humans do, and furthermore, if they can then is the use of animals in research morally wrong? On the one hand, scientists that use animals as test subjects, such as Helosia Sabin and her late husband, argue that it is crucial for any medical progress because much testing is required before releasing a new drug into the public. On the other hand, people like Peggy Carlson, a scientist herself…

Previously, there had been a study in cyberspace. But MIT's program is unusual because it invited students from various countries in the world, with no requirements or admission fees, and get a certificate with the 'label' MIT. In general, online course material is the material in class but transferred to the virtual world. But different MITx course material. Mentioned that the college is accredited exclusively to students online. All lectures and scoring is available online. Before Christmas…

killed, in laboratories every year across the world, for scientific research. A variety of animals are used for animal testing: Mice, frogs, fish, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, monkeys, and birds are just a few that have been used in laboratories for…

narrates the point of view, but in the last couple chapters the point of view is narrated by both Utterson’s and Jekyll’s perspectives. Some symbols in the novel include Dr. Jekyll’s home and laboratory while Stevenson describes Jekyll’s house as having “a great air of wealth and comfort.” While Jekyll’s laboratory is described as “a certain sinister block of building … which bore in every feature the marks of profound and sordid…

techniques and procedures learned in the microbiology laboratory during the semester that was performed to test ones practical understanding of microbiology. The sole purpose of the unknown lab is to demonstrate understanding of the experimental methods and lab techniques learned during…

were improved drastically, along with laboratory guidelines. Biosafety cabinets, or BSC’s, were introduced into laboratories and the instances of exposure went down to only two cases between 1948 and 1952. Much was the same for other pathogens. With the introduction of vaccines for diseases such as Q Fever and Franciscella tularensis, the instances of infection decreased even more (“Chapter 2”). With the continuing improvement of guidelines, rates of laboratory induced infections has decreased…

perception, and inference in humans and non-human animals. The learning goals of the laboratory experiences include enhancing mastery of science subject matter, developing scientific reasoning abilities, increasing understanding of the complexity and ambiguity of empirical work, developing practical skills, increasing understanding of the nature, and improving teamwork abilities. Interacting with some materials in laboratory experiences helps me concretely understand the inherent complexity…
