Units of measurement

Gangs and Methods Article One Researchers are still debating the best possible technique in which to measure gang membership. However, a growing consensus of the self-nominated technique seems to provide a justifiable measurement of gang involvement and violent offending, including policy and program recommendations. The purpose of this paper is to examine if certain risk factors in multiple domains in connection to criminological theories of gang membership and are they similar to or differ…

The mass of each substance must remain the same to get the accurate measurements for each substance. To keep the mass the same, we will use methods that can effectively retrieve all of one substance without extracting another. 2: The method of measuring the mass of each substance/what measuring instruments we use (this also includes the units). If we use a different scale to measure each substance, then one measurement could be more accurate, and they could be measured differently. THis would…

Noise Mitigation in Urban Areas: AUBMC 2020 Case Study Abstract- This paper studies noise pollution in a local context and aims at finding feasible mitigation measures taking AUBMC area as a case study. After thoroughly researching the topic to better understand the causes and implications of noise, as well as suggested solutions to alleviate its severity, the group moved towards applying these findings to the study area. A professional sound meter was used to measure noise levels at different…

Biology is the study of living or deceased organisms (Biology Department, 2015). There are two overarching classes to these organisms: prokaryotes and eukaryotes (Reece et al., 2014). Prokaryotes (meaning before nucleus) are put in two domains: Bacteria and Archea (Biology Department, 2015). Eukaryotes on the other hand, (which have nuclei), are in the Eukarya domain and encompass all other organisms such as plants, animals, fungi and protists (Biology Department, 2015). The most effective way…

Eratosthenes was a Greek mathematician, poet, and astronomer, but he is most famously known for being the first person to make a measurement for the size of the Earth. Over 2000 years ago, at the city of Syene, the sun’s rays fell upon a temple column casting a shadow, (1). The scientist noticed that as the sun reached midday, the shadow would not be casted since the sun was directly over the column. However, 800 kilometers to the north in the city of Alexandria, at the same moment at noon,…

that contribute to walkable neighbourhood design. Leslie et al. (2007) adapted the WI to Australia. WI for these studies contains four main data components. The first component is residential density which is the number of residential units per particular areal unit within a neighbourhood. A high residential density value shows that more people live in the area. The second data component of the walkability index is the retail floor area ratio, which is the extent of the area chosen for…

A mole is a unit of measurement used for chemicals. The unit “mole” can also be abbreviated as “mol”. “Moles are used so that chemists, scientists or engineers know how much of different kinds of chemicals to use to have reactions that work out right. When chemists want to have a chemical reaction come out they need to know how many molecules of each kind of chemical they have, so they measure the chemicals in moles. A mole is the atomic weight of a molecule of the chemical in grams”…

on Just Noticeable Difference was if JND could be a suitable as a unit of measure. Analyzing data from two prior experiments, where participants were to discriminate different colors when shown different brightness intervals and applying it to sound also. Once all the data was analyzed, the researchers determined that JND could not be used as a unit of measure (Newman, 1933). Although JND could not be used as a unit of measurement, a debate of the luminosity perception, is the given thresholds…

monitor at least ten health care workers and their compliance with proper hand hygiene techniques in their nursing units. Meaningful and descriptive data is collected by a trained observer’s eye that monitors workers compliance to the hand hygiene policies in place. Often the numbers are skewed when staff recognizes and alerts others to the purpose of my presence on their hospital unit. Workers understand why I am there and will consciously follow proper hand washing protocols. We rotate…
