Assignment 2 - Experimental Design Project Rekha Arora Department of Computer Science Rochester Institute of Technology ABSTRACT It is estimated that 43% of United States population is functionally illiterate [1]. On the other hand‚ the health system in United States is budding and people are being more health conscious and aware. The big question is how we can integrate the healthcare awareness in the illiterate people such that they can also take advantage of the evolving healthcare

The Asch Experiment How conformity influenced the world Megan Foster Many psychologists have performed experiments to prove theories and replicate actions. One of these most famous psychologists is Solomon Asch. In 1955‚ social psychologist Asch designed and experiment to show the effects of conformity in today’s society. Conformity is the adjusting of one’s behavior or thinking to coincide with group standard or belief. The results from the experiment were shocking and changed the way social

Social psychologist‚ Stanley Milgram of Yale University conducted a controversial and influential experiments on study of the effect of punishment on learning. Nearly 1000 people participated in Milgram’s 20 experiments. The participants assigned to be a learner and a teacher. Milgram created an electric ’shock generator’; it ranged from 15-450 volts. The teachers were given a task to teach and then test the learner on a list of word pairs. For the first wrong answer‚ the teacher will flip the switch

Introduction In my report I will discuss what I did as an experiment and what I hope for it to achieve. Firstly I carried out an experiment to assay the effectiveness that a range of disinfectants have on the growth of ecoli and whether or not it can prevent it from growing. From the experiment i should be able to see that some disinfectants have a greater effect than others do. From this I shall then draw a conclusion and evaluation on what was the most effective‚ and could there have been any

In this experiment‚ we planted bean plants and put stress on them by rubbing them a certain amount of times a day. This was to see how they might survive in a windy area or in an environment where they might constantly be touched or moved around. The bean plants were

The reason for the experiment is to see which color from the light spectrum causes plants to grow faster. The prediction was that read light would cause the most growth in plants and that blue light would result in slower growth. The results did not support the hypothesis. Referring to table‚ one can see that blue caused both the spinach and radish plant to grow the most and that green light cause the plants to grow less. Spinach is a long-day plant therefore it was able to grow better under a constant

Experiment 1: TLC Analysis of Analgesic Drugs 1/23/2011 Purpose: The goal of this experiment is to test our knowledge and understanding of TLC analysis by having us do a TLC analysis of analgesics to figure out their main chemical components. Calculations: 1.) Rf = Distance spot traveled/ distance solvent traveled Results: Table 1: TLC Analysis Analgesic Drugs | Rf Value | Acetaminophen | 0.323 | Aspirin | 0.597 | Caffeine | 0.081 | Unknown 154 (Plate 1) | 0.081‚ 0.306‚ 0.597

The purpose of this lab was to determine if a there is a change in mass when a gas is produced and determine if gas has mass. To conduct this experiment‚ the group must be careful not to let the Alka-Seltzer tablet get wet before the bottle is closed by wiping the lip of the bottle and the cap so it remains dry‚ or risk gas escaping into the air and not being captured by the bottle. Also‚ the group must be sure to close the bottle tightly with the cap‚ because gas may escape this way as well. During

Helicopter Experiment Prediction: As the mass on the helicopter’s copters increases‚ the speed taken for the rotors to spin down faster‚ this is because there will be more downward pull from gravity‚ as the terminal velocity for a paper helicopter is low. Variables: Independent variable will be the mass that we change throughout the experiment. The dependant variable will be the time that we measure for the helicopter to reach the floor. Finally the controlled variables include‚ the helicopter
