variations between older participants with hearing impairments and normal listening participants, as well as younger participants, was not clearly defined. The results concluded that high intensity rates do not yield extended wave V and wave I-V interval latencies; however, further research should be conducted to determine the effect of rate variations between older and younger…
The conditions were not ideal for observing chickens performing their natural behaviours. It rained almost the entire 70-minute period and the observer also had to walk a short distance at every 2-minute interval in order to observe the entire flock. This disturbance may also have influenced the frequency of agonistic interactions. Conclusion The question asked in the beginning was how frequently would agonistic interactions occur in a mixed flock…
Crib Tunes May Have Made You Smarter Music is an integral part of culture, economy, society, and, not surprisingly, our development. Different musical notes condition their brains to different sounds in the environment. Furthermore, musical complexities may subconsciously work their way into the calculating capacity of the child’s cognition and inspire toward a higher level of thinking at a younger age, ultimately influencing the behavior of the adult brain. Studies that try to delineate…
life there is an importance to invest so that when the stage to retire occurs I can “cash out” with the most money, with this in mind, when I am at a juvenile age it’s preeminent for me to invest in stocks, during my midlife it is the most optimum interval to invest in residential housing, and lastly when I acquire an elder age that will be the most fitting time for me to invest in the money market. It is a known fact that there is a bountiful quantity of ways to invest an individual’s coinage,…
Research Question: What are effective methods to reduce HAI’s/ MRSA in the acute care setting? Overview of problem: Hospital acquired infections are very common in the United States. According to the CDC it is estimated that one in twenty patients will contract a HAI. One common HAI is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a type of Staphylococcus that has acquired resistance to a large array of antibiotics.. Significance of the problem: The indubitable issue with HAI; MRSA is…
These variables were appointment interval, service rate, patients’ arrival pattern, number of patient absences, number of walk-in patients, and tardiness or interruption of the doctor. Not surprisingly, they found that a doctor’s late arrival would increase the patients’ waiting time. Different…
Background Over the past years, a great amount of meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have been conducted to assess the effectiveness and/or the efficacy of numerous psychotherapies for a wide range of outcomes. While it is commonly accepted that psychotherapy could be considered effective and in the case of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) comparable to pharmacotherapy, the question about the quality of the evidence in the field remains controversial. Some empirical…
Introduction: Dmitri Mendeleev is accredited with the creation of the periodic table but in reality, many scientists have contributed in the years leading up to the production. Before people could even write they knew some of the elements that are on the periodic table. The elements include silver, gold, copper, tin, lead, and mercury (substances that could not be broken down chemically). Not until 1649 did a man by the name of Hennig Brand discover phosphorous (an element) through…
Harvard professor Edward O. Wilson, in his nonfiction book, The Diversity Of Life, narrates Wilson’s life while elaborating on the topic of biodiversity. Scientists, Flockhart et al., in their scientific journal article, “Unravelling the annual cycle in a migratory animal: breeding-season habitat loss drives population declines of monarch butterflies,” hypothesize the causes of butterfly population loss. While Wilson’s purpose is to discuss science in a narrative manner to provide reading for…
of caffeine on millipede’s short term speed, it can be hypothesized that caffeine changes the short term speeds of millipedes. We predict that the millipedes will move at a faster rate when exposed to caffeine as compared to when not. Should our prediction be correct, this information could lead to justification in further research on the evolution of the Narceus americanus, along with useful information to environmentalists and conservationists on the effect of caffeine in our soils from a…
