Intercontinental University Aspects of Psychology Individual Project # 2 Experiments and Adaption July 30‚ 2012 ABSTRACT This paper is explaining five experiments; the process and results. It talks about sensory adaptation and how adaptation is evident in each of the experimental results. It also provides a comprehensive description of the sensory systems in the experiments that I performed. Before starting the four experiments‚ I had to remember that I had to keep in mind that there are five

Griffith’s experiment‚ reported in 1928 by Frederick Griffith‚[1] was one of the first experiments suggesting that bacteria are capable of transferring genetic information through a process known as transformation.[2][3] Griffith used two strains of pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae) bacteria which infect mice – a type III-S (smooth)

Abstract The Tuskegee syphilis experiment was an infamous clinical study conducted between 1932-1972 in Macon Country‚ Alabama by the U.S Public Health Service. The purpose was to study the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African American men who thought they were receiving free health care from the U.S government; about four hundred African American men were denied. The doctors that were involved in this study had a shifted mindset; they were called “racist monsters”; “for

Biology College of Science De La Salle University – Dasmariñas Dasmariñas‚ Cavite Philippines ABSTRACT This experiment was performed to learn the technique of acid-base titration and to compare the efficiency of commercially available antacids by looking at their weight of HCl and weight of antacid values. The analysis of antacid tablets was highlighted in this experiment. The efficiency of antacid tablets was determined and compared when the number of grams of HCl can be neutralized by
