Rating scale

protect people from these powerful forces of nature. Understanding how they form and what to look for before one touches down can save the lives of many people. Looking into history, past tragic events can help future ones to be less tragic. The scale rating these tornadoes can show just how powerful nature can be. Explanation Tornadoes are deadly winds, rotating at up to two hundred and fifty plus miles per hour (Tornado Facts and History). These transparent clouds can be deadly in a matter of…

be given a self-assessment in a Likert scale format (See Appendix A). The first self-assessment will be given at the end of the last meeting to each group member. These self-assessments can be done confidentially with names on the assessment being optional. The group leader will provide instructions on how to complete the forms being handed out. After instructions, participants will fill out two self-addressed stamped envelopes for the same Likert scale questionnaire to be mailed to their…

great destruction. The diameter of a tornado varies from a few feet to a mile; the rotating winds may attain velocities of 200 to 300 mi (320–480 km) per hr, and the updraft at the center may reach 200 mi per hr. The Enhanced Fujita scale is the standard scale for rating the severity of a tornado as measured by the damage it causes. A tornado is usually accompanied by thunder, lightning, heavy rain, and a loud "freight train" noise. In comparison with a cyclone or hurricane, a tornado covers a…

slope line is shifted up and a corresponding decrease should it be shifted down as shown in Fig 6 Question 9 Semi-log plot is that type plot that helps to analyse data that is related exponentially, where one of the axis is plotted using logarithmic scale The following can be obtained from semi-log straight line analysis: a) The slope of straight line m b) Permeability product kh c) The skin d) Extrapolated pressure to infinite shut in time Question 10 a) No, it is only a function of the…

significant difference in their attitude towards research. However, there are limitations on this study. The sample size used was small, and when gathering the second part of the ATR scale data some students did not attend. Additionally, this study also included participants that left out some questions on the ATR scale questionnaire. This may have impacted the fining of the study and over represented sentence sub-question on the questionnaire. The study conducted by Shaukat, et al (2014)…

Participants and Setting The participants of this study involved 25 Year 7 mixed-ability students with 11 boys and 14 girls. The classroom was very diverse with students from different backgrounds including Arabic, South-East Asian and African. No ESL students were there in the class. The school timetable was on a fortnightly rotation with 8 scheduled Science lessons (4 in each week). Each period was fifty minutes in duration except Mondays where each period is shortened to 45 min. All 25…

Before we talk about measurement scales and why they matter we should first explain what they are. A compound measure allows us to measure different aspects of a topic people would find complex. This topic could range from stem cell research to abortion to gun control. The good thing about compound measures is they have a general reliability to them. What I mean is, if an error is made it often does not make the whole measurement go wrong. Compound measures should have several different…

Damages, Injuries and Fatalities The Fujita scale is how tornadoes are rated. This rating is based on wind speeds which cannot actually be accurately recorded inside of a tornado. The wind speeds are calculated by the amount of destruction to common things like businesses and homes. The scale which, was named after its creator Dr. Ted Fujita, is based on a scale from EF0 TO EF5. The Joplin tornado was ranked at the highest rating of EF5. Storms with this rating see wind speeds over 200 miles…

Behavioral pain assessment tools are able to detect pain, but they have little evidence in identifying the intensity or location of pain (Lukas et al., 2012). The pain scales can also inaccurately detect pain if behaviors are present for other reasons of distress such as anxiety or hunger (Lukas et al., 2012). The current clinical guidelines for pain assessment in older adults recommends that nurses use an individualized…

10 out of 10 people agreed that owning a pet helps the emotional well-being of an individual. The average stress level of participants was 3.6 on a 5 point scale. The average score on the frequency of illness was 2.7 on a 5 point scale. The average interaction score with a pet was 1.8 on a 5 point scale. 4 out of 5 pet owners agree that having a pet helps to cope with stress and 3 out of the 5 participants that do not own pets also agree that pets can help manage stress. Procedure…
