Altruism: A Field Experiment Kamille J. Bernabe Master in Psychology Polytechnic University of the Philippines Graduate School Advanced Social Psychology Abstract Everyday life is filled with small acts of altruism. While we may be all too familiar with altruism‚ social psychologists are interested in understanding why it occurs. What inspires these acts of kindness? What motivates people to risk their own lives to save a complete stranger? Altruism as defined as the concern

Features of a Fusion Welded Joint 1. 2 Joining and Assembly Distinguished Joining - welding‚ brazing‚ soldering‚ and adhesive bonding These processes form a permanent joint between parts Assembly - mechanical methods (usually) of fastening parts together Some of these methods allow for easy disassembly‚ while others do not 3 Welding Joining process in which two (or more) parts are coalesced at their contacting surfaces by application of heat and/or pressure Many welding processes are

involved when two incompressible substances are mixed together. 12 experiments were performed‚ 10 involving the combination of a measured amount of hot and cold water and 2 involving the combination of ice and liquid water‚ the majority of these experiments were performed three times. The average variance in final temperature for each experiment was less than 10 percent providing proof of repeatability. Equipment used during the experiment included a gram scale‚ thermocouple‚ Styrofoam cup‚ glass beakers

mammals‚ including humans. In the human stomach‚ particularly those of infants‚ rennin works to curdle milk so that pepsin‚ another stomach enzyme‚ can further breakdown the proteins into absorbable amino acids called polypeptides. The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of changing temperature on the activity of enzymes. After experimentation the optimum temperature for enzyme activity will be established and the effects

Boyle’s Law Experiment Aim To show that Pressure is proportional to the inverse to volume Method A gas syringe was attached to a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor was calibrated‚ assuming the atmospheric pressure at the time of the experiment was 100kPa. Differing volumes of gas were created in the gas syringe and they were recorded as were the corresponding values of pressure at that particular volume. The volume was varied between 20cm3 and 75cm3. Results A set of readings was obtained

hear the horn. Experimental Subject- This horse does hear the horn. B.) The Scientific Method: Observation: Horses drool. Question: Why do horses drool? Hypothesis: The sound of the car horn will induce the sympathetic nervous system of the horse therefore causing distress and anxiety within the horse which will then lead the horse to stop drooling (McKinley‚ 2016). C.) Experiment: The purpose of this experiment was to test which variables affected the horses sympathetic nervous system leading the

Crater Design Experiment Aim: To see how the height in which the ball is dropped from affects the depth of the crater. Hypothesis: I predict that as the height in which the ball is dropped from increases‚ so does the depth of the crater (the data will be directly proportional). The scientific knowledge which supports this is that the golf ball has a gravitational potential energy which increases as the ball is dropped from higher heights. When the height increases the ball gains more gravitational

The members in our group were Whitney‚ myself‚ and Charlotte. The title of this lab was “reaction types.” The purpose of this lab was to identify the reaction type‚ balance equations‚ and observe the reactions .Our hypothesis was if there was many stations with fire‚ then they’re would be many combustion reactions. The procedure of the first lab was to place a solid piece of magnesium metal in the bottom of the smallest tube. Place this test tube in the test tube holder. Using tongs pick up the
