Purpose The purpose of this lab is to investigate animal behaviors by diving into the world of ethology. There are two ways pill bugs will respond to environmental stimuli: Kinesis (non-directional response) and taxis (directional response). Kinesis occurs when organisms (randomly) move around quickly when they’re unhappy and slowly when they’re happy, which is best demonstrated when one lifts up a rock or other material that the pill bugs are under. In contrast to the simpler response that does not necessarily involve many neurons, taxis is often observed in response to changes in light, heat, moisture, sound, and/or chemicals (odor). This would be considered a directional response. A total of three trials will be conducted to observe the…

Task 2 Elementary Scenario Part A A1. Disruption in the classroom environment Sarah will not remain in her seat and she frequently wanders around the classroom. Her behavior is disruptive in a third grade classroom because it takes instruction time away from the other students. As the teacher addresses Sarah’s conduct her peers will become off task and miss essential commands and directives. Sarah’s conduct can also become a power struggle if the teacher allows her behavior to escalate. The…

The following Antecedent-Behavior-Consequences (ABC) Chart has been prepared for Jackson K. Direct observation was done during his Integrated Algebra 1A class to complete the ABC chart. The purpose was to identify “environmental and contextual variables that support challenging behavior” (Chandler and Dahlquist, 70). There are some consequences that are often related to appropriate and challenging behaviors, some desirable and others not. Unfortunately, oftentimes students that engage in…

4.1 Moisture Analysis of Rice Bran At certain time within 30- 45 days of treated rice bran showed decrement of moisture ( Jayaraman et.al., 1994). Thus, with the range of 30 to 45 days of storage, 40 days was chosen in this studies. The result obtained from study shown in Figure 4.1 and Figure 4.2. There are two groups of comparison; stabilized and unstabilized group. Based on the result obtained, the moisture of rice bran with different types (Bario, lowland and upland), content shows small…

Moisture determination is important in foods for various reasons including; economic, food quality, microbial stability, labeling requirements etc. this may be done by several methods depending on several factors such as water type, decomposition of other food component among others. One such method of moisture determination is the Karl-Fischer Titration Method (KF). Titration is a technique used to determine the concentration of a known volume of solution. A titrant; that is a solution of known…

One of the process manipulations was to cut the curds into smaller cubes (low moisture) or larger cubes (high moisture). This process manipulation changes moisture content because smaller curds are not able to retain as much moisture. The smaller the size of the curd, the less moisture it can retain and the faster the curd will dry out (University of Guelph). Less moisture in curds means the final product will also be lower in moisture. Temperature is also one of the process manipulations that…

Fire Behaviour Moisture: Background Information: With some parts of Australia being extremely prone to bushfires, ways to prevent them and understand them are vital. They can be caused by unattended fires, glass, cigarettes and flammable chemicals left in the sun. (Bushfires - Get the Facts, 2008) Fires account for approxmately 100 deaths and 3000 injuries every year. (BrianAshe, 2012) The total cost of structural damage estimates around $18 billion and $16 billion devoted to managing the…

Flooded basements are a prevalent problem among home owners in Canada. Every year millions of dollars is spent on repair, rehabilitation, and in efforts to cover for the personal losses caused by a wet basement. A wet basement, whether damp, leaky or flooded, requires immediate rectification of the leaks, and restoration. A basement flood might happen at any time or to any building, the major influencing factors here are heavy rains and snowmelts. Basement flooding need not necessarily be…
