Is it normally acceptable to experiment on non-human animals to develop products and medicines that benefit human beings? New scientific research has cast grave doubt on the safety testing of hundreds of thousands of consumer products. Everyday products‚ from soft drinks to paints‚ contain numerous synthetic chemicals. Official assurances of the safety of these chemicals are based largely on animal experiments. But recent results from a consortium in America suggested such assurances may be worthless

DYNAMICS -studies the relationship of motion to the forces that causes it. Types of Forces: (a) Normal Force‚ n :When an object rests or pushes on a surface‚ the surface exerts a push on it that is directed perpendicular to the surface. (b) Friction Force‚ f : In addition to the normal force‚ a surface may exert a frictional force on a object‚ directed parallel to the surface and opposite the motion or impending motion of the object. f s = µ s n - static friction‚ maximum friction before the object

The next destination on our path to creating technology beyond the current human comprehension; is it a massive super weapon to dominate our rivals? Is it a horde of medical nanobots‚ which can repair your body from the inside out? Nope. This little box‚ about the size of an iPhone‚ is the Leap Motion‚ a completely hands-free virtual reality mouse. It may not be as nice as the nanobots‚ but it’s definitely useful for the common nerd!

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

perform better when they are participants in an experiment. Individuals may change their behavior due to the attention they are receiving from researchers rather than because of any manipulation of independent variables. The Hawthorne experiments took place from 1927 to 1933 in the Hawthorne plant of Western Electric. They wanted to test scientific management. The experiments were held by Elton Mayo‚ and a few of his colleagues. The experiments began as a series of productivity studies from

choosing the pain of discipline over the ease of distraction. And that’s exactly what delayed gratification is all about” I think that is very true. Delayed gratification is just waiting for something better. If a kid doesn’t pass the marshmallow experiment parents start to wonder what they should do. Mischel states he would remind the parents that there are a large number of cognitive skills that can be used and practiced if kids have a serious self-control problem. At one point Mischel used poker

The reaction type shown above may be called a condensation reaction because the small molecule H 2 O is eliminated from the reactants while the remaining bits of the reactant condense together to give the main product. This reaction may also be called an esterification‚ since
