Conclusion This lab was intended to model cell size and discover why cells divide. It was proposed that cells divide because of combustion. This is not the case as it is not what was looked at in the experiment. Surface area of an object was compared to its volume and weight in this experiment. It was discovered that as volume increased the surface area to volume ratio decreased as did the surface area to weight ratio. In this experiment cubes were studied as a model for cells which have

Conclusions Managers involved in helping their organizations improve quality are frequently puzzled over which approach to use. Some organizations adopt an eclectic approach using components of the three philosophies and combining what they consider to be the best from the best.

the color change occurred so there was more solute going into the mix than there should have been. Also at one point there was the mistake in part B of using KHP and HCl together instead of the NaOH so that mistake skewed results just a little. Conclusion: For this experiment‚ it was essential to make sure the correct solutes were being used properly‚ as we found out‚ it would not produce a color change if the wrong things were paired.

Abstract In this assignment‚ lead compensator is implemented to reduce the percentage of peak overshot to less than 5% and the settling time to 2 second with 2% accuracy. First of all‚ to implement lead compensators into a circuit‚ a pole–zero pair is introduced into the open loop transfer function. Lead compensator is a component in a control system that improves an undesirable frequency response in a feedback and control system. Besides that‚ it also provides phase lead in its frequency response
