After distributing the Stroop Task‚ the following results were discovered: the mean for the musicians was 1178.7070 milliseconds and the total mean for the athletes was 1235.188 milliseconds. Our results was the following‚ t(18)=0.587; p=0.567. The results as demonstrated can clearly state that there was not a significance within the .05 alpha level. Therefore‚ the null hypothesis had to be retained. Our conclusion of the Stroop Task was that the musicians did not show a faster (lower) time in comparison

Sydney Schell October 18th‚ 2012 Identifying Metallic Components Introduction: Spectroscopy is the study of the electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by the atoms and molecules. A photon in short is light. Atoms produce light by putting energy in‚ the electron then becomes excited and goes up an energy level‚ the electron then falls back down to its ground state‚ and out comes a photon (light). The electromagnetic spectrum contains color that we can and cannot see. The color blue has

Title: Virus Module: Biochemical Processes______ All viruses are pathogens. Some viruses are deadly‚ for example‚ HIV and Ebola virus. Unlike bacteria‚ fungi and protists‚ viruses do not fit into the framework of cellular organization that is the hallmark of organisms. Bacteria‚ fungi and protists are cells but not virus. Viruses have unique structural and functional properties and cannot reproduce unless they are inside the cell. In fact‚ they can neither generate energy nor make proteins

Title: Laboratory 2: Measurement of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) Objective To determine the amount of oxygen necessary for biological oxidation of wastewater effluent and determine the amount of oxygen required by bacteria while stabilizing decomposable organic matter. Methodology Apparatus ; Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) meter‚ Dissolved Oxygen bottle (DO bottle)‚ pipette‚ Teflon tape‚ dilution water‚ incubator machine. Procedure; Add 300 ml dilute water then take DO reading immediately

specially. This funnel is called as V-funnel. This test is a self-compactibility test to measure the capacity of concrete to pass into the spaces. This test determines the viscosity and passing capacity of SCC. Fresh SCC is filled to the funnel without any compaction or vibration and then the sliding cover under the funnel is opened and the filling time of all concrete in the funnel to the pail is recorded. Fig. 2 V-funnel test L-box test L-box test is used to assess the passing ability of SCC to

Biochemical Pathways of Heavy Metals Poisoning BIO101 (Principles of Biology) 6 July 2012 Abstract The biochemical pathways of heavy metal poisoning are routes by which the metals pass in the body as they impair and destroy normal cellular and organ activity. The most common types of heavy metal poisoning are caused by lead‚ arsenic‚ cadmium and mercury. They are also the most extensively studied at the moment. Lead poisoning occurs mainly by the inhibitory effect that the metal imposes on enzymes

2.4 Six minute walking test: Six minute walk test was developed in 1963 by Balke to evaluate functional capacity. Different variations of the timed walk have been tested‚ and the six minute timed walk was recommended given its reproducibility and ease of administration compared to longer timed tests. A functional test might be a more valuable tool& cost effective (Nixon et al.‚ 1992) for measuring cardio respiratory fitness in the population and detecting change in cardio respiratory fitness. One

VO2 Max Test Objective of the test: To work out how much oxygen can be utilized during an intense exercise test‚ the maximum capacity of oxygen used in the body Background of the test: The aim of this study was to create and evaluate a submaximal cycle ergometry test based on change in heart rate ( HR) between a lower standard work rate and an individually chosen higher work rate. In a mixed population ( n = 143) with regard to sex (55% women)‚ age (21-65 years)‚ and activity status (inactive to

3.7.2.1.5 Urea test PRINCIPLE Urea is hydrolyzed in the presence of urease to produce ammonia and CO2. The ammonia produced combines with 2 – oxoglutarate and NADH in the presence of GLDH to yield glutamate and NAD. Urea + H2O + 2H+ 2NH4+ + CO2 NH4+ + 2-Oxoglutarate +NADH H2O +NAD+ + Glutamate The decrease in absorbance due to the decrease of NADH concentration in unit time is proportional to the urea concentration.

Cold pressor test is widely used as test for auto- nomic functions. It has been used as diagnostic test for diseases like hypertension and other cardiac auto- nomic disorders. During cold pressor test ‚ the hand or foot is immersed in cold water bath held at a con- stant temperature at 80 C. Cold water immersion activates afferent pain and temperature neurons‚ re- sulting in a centrally mediated stimulation of sympa- thetic efferent neurons. In healthy subjects ‚ the CPT causes increase
