Standards-based education

The Daubert standard is the best choice for determining the admissibility of forensic evidence and expert witnesses in Florida based on the articles provided. The evidence and expert witness testimony that is put forth in Florida litigation should be assessed by the same standards that apply for all rules of evidence in federal courts. Although the Frye standard provides a wide scope as to what can be used as evidence, a stricter set of standards would be more beneficial to the public because it…

The city of Duluth, MN is looking to put in new parks around town based on different population and socioeconomic factors. This analysis is based on the block groups in Duluth, MN that come from the source of the census bureau. Then the locating of existing parks came from UMD geodatabase. A buffer of 100 meters was created around these existing park boundaries and then erased (see figure 2) to factor out the areas that already had a park that was within walking distance of households. In…

CONCLUSIONS RESULTS The aim of the investigation was to evaluate not only if the species E. microcorys had exhibited allelochemicals that would have prevented the germination of R. sativus seeds, but also to specifically find if there had been a parallel between the changing concentration of E. microcorys to the seed germination. The resulting data supported the stated hypothesis to a substantial extent. The hypothesis was supported because when the concentration of concocted E. microcorys…

Question 1 (i) Mean: ‘’The sum of a series of measurements (or numbers) divided by the number of those measurements.’’ (Open University,2015: S104 Exploring Science Glossary, Milton Keynes, The Open University). Scientific Notation: ‘’ A notation that represents any number by expressing it as a number that is equal to or greater than 1 but less than 10, multiplied by a simple power of ten where the index may be positive or negative. Thus, 1.30 × 103 is in scientific notation (because 1.30 is…

Lemma: If p > 3 is prime, then either p = 1 (mod 6) or p = 5 (mod 6). Proof: The residue classes modulo 6 partition Z, so any z in Z satisfies a congruence z = n (mod 6) where n is in {0,1,...,5}. z is divisible by 6 if n = 0, 2 if n = 2, 3 if n = 3, and 2 if n = 4. These cases cover the primes z = 2 and z = 3; if z > 3 is prime, it follows that n = 1 or n = 5, i.e., z = 1 (mod 6) or z = 5 (mod 6). Now suppose there are only finitely many primes congruent to 5 modulo 6, say p_1, ...,…

Stock Analysis - Oil What was once a small company in California, Chevron Corporation, has become a major company in the energy industry all around the world.

Rationale for enacting the legislation The justification for enacting the Economic Espionage Act of 1996 (EEA) was the continuous attacks being sanctioned by foreign governments on America and its businesses. Prior to the information revolution this type of attack was much more difficult to complete and was done by means only seen in movies. With the information revolution just beginning, there was a far more physical approach to economic espionage, and with no profile of this type…

The author of "The Monopolists", Mary Pilon is quite explicit in her purpose, as it becomes quite clear after reading the first chapter. The story of Ralph Anspach sets the stage for him to uncover the true story behind Monopoly, in order to have his gave Anti-Monopoly published. I believe that this approach by Pilon is the best possible one as it creates a real reason behind the uncovering the truth instead of simply saying it. By doing this she is able to make it into a more intriguing and…
