Mount Saint Helen located in the southwestern corner of Washington state erupted in 1980. The eruption was more forceful than 500 times that of the bombing of Hiroshima. It was not just one single event. Several different natural forces created the resulting explosion. Virginia Dale was one of the first ecologist to study the eruption. She expected to find complete devastation but was shocked to find pockets of life on the mountain. The mountain did not follow traditional succession…

the scientific process involving animal testing. From the first baby steps when scientists knew limited information about this particular aspect of scientific experimentation, to today where new ideas abound on substitutes for animals tested in laboratories, the field has evolved into a mature segment of the scientific world. However, similar to a child’s growing pains, the use of animals for testing possible human responses has faced major challenges. Two significant challenges are: the…

As an American we aspire to live the American dream. There is no difference when it animals. They are born in hopes to be put into a family and live a long happy life. Or in some cases, the animal is born into wildlife and hopes to remain there. However, because of animal testing, million of cats, rats, rabbits, and dogs, from both domestication and wild are taken into captivity. If Americans are supposed to prosper, why can’t the animals that bring happiness to these people do the same. All…

uniforms. Later on, he finally convinced the Lyons Police Department to give him two attic rooms where he conducted research and discoveries that became known throughout the world by forensic scientists and criminal investigators. After the Lyons laboratory was established, he developed the study of fingerprint pores and the impressions produced by these pores. Locard's exchange…

Introduction This essay seeks to analyse the theoretical reasoning behind Louis Kahn’s approach towards non-details in his built work based on the definition of details as set out by Edward R. Ford in his publication, “The Architectural Detail.” and how it can be adapted to suit the design strategies of a multi-generation apartment. Detail is defined as “attention to or treatment of a subject in individual or minute parts”. The architectural detail starts off as a constructive or technical…

subcontracted to an independent laboratory that will confidentially carry out the test for all staff associated with the organization. The company is expected to pay for the cost to be incurred in the testing and the staff will not be expected to contribute any additional funds. After the tests have been conducted and the results realized, all the staff will have the right to explain the nature of their results. This explanation will be confidentially done between the testing laboratory and the…

consumers that their products are the best since it has been tested on animals for safety, but the truth behind animal testing will make buyers think twice about their merchandise. Nowadays, more and more people are teaming up against animal testing. Laboratory testing is done on substances that make up medication and cosmetics, such as perfume, lotion, soap, etc. Animals are used to develop medical treatments, determine the toxicity of medications, and check the safety of products destined for…

activities, humans need energy. Measuring the amount of energy needed for an individual can help them achieve different activities for the day, as well as, allow them to figure out how to lose weight and become healthier. The female subject used in this laboratory helps provide a great example of how to figure out energy expenditure by using and indirect calorimetry and…

Refinement is a more subtle approach “which advocates the reduction of incidence or severity of distress experienced by laboratory animals…” and Reduction requires attaining “precise information with animals through the use of well-designed, well conducted, reliable experiments that do not involve endless repetition of the same tests” (Vencatesan, 1). She says usually testing laboratories use animals with high pain thresholds, to better match human pain thresholds, for experimentation of…

year, nearly one hundred million animals --including mice, rats, dogs, monkeys, etc.-- die in many United States laboratories because of cosmetic, medical and biology testing, and experiments that serve no purpose. To understand the true terrors of animal testing, people need to know what animals are going through. Animals in laboratories suffer from day-to-day protocols and laboratory life, many do not even get a chance to experience fresh air or sunshine because they live in cages. There…
