Those who are homeless often suffer depression and anxiety or behavioral problems. This contributes to the higher rates of drug use among homeless people and creates a positive feedback loop in which they use drugs to combat their situation which only worsens it. In addition‚ homeless people have a higher risk of

2013 Some Factors that Affect the Rate of a Reaction BACKGROUND: Chemical reactions occur at different rates. In this experiment I will consider some of the key factors that influence the rate of a reaction: * nature of reactants - particle size * temperature * catalysts According to the collision theory‚ the rate of a reaction depends on the frequency of collisions between reacting particles. The more frequent the collisions‚ the faster the rate of the reaction. However

The hypothesis made prior to the experiment was not correct - the distilled water did result in the most weight gain (g); however‚ the 5% salt concentration did not result in the least weight gain (g). Table 1 clearly highlights that the 3% salt concentration resulted in the least weight gain (g). The distilled water resulted in the most weight gain (g) because the solution is hypotonic – a hypotonic solution results in the water diffusing into the cell because the molecules of the substance are

Three Month Treasury Bills and The Variables That Affect the Rates Abstract This paper attempts to create two models that can predict fluctuations in three-month US Treasury Bill yields. Using both simple and multiple regression analysis‚ we analyze the independent variables traditionally associated with risk free U.S. money market interest rates including the Consumer Price Index‚ the Industrial Production Index‚ and the Unemployment rate over two periods‚ July 1990-March 2001 and March 2001-December

Does Gender Affect Color Preference? Abstract The objective of this experiment was to determine if gender plays a role in color preference. In other words‚ do males actually prefer blue and green‚ while females favor pink or purple? This experiment was conducted by surveying ninety-six people‚ 48 males and 48 females‚ to complete a short survey. The survey asked them if they were color blind and whether they were male or female. They were then given five color cards (blue

How do limiting factors affect the rate of photosynthesis? Rate is the measurement of an amount of product or time. In the case of the rate of photosynthesis‚ it is measuring the gain of mass or growth over time. If the plant is an aquatic one that grows in water the rate of photosynthesis can be measured by counting oxygen bubbles or the volume of gas produced in a measured time period. A limiting factor is something that is present in the environment that has a short supply and because of that
