Definition Technology Assessment (TA) has taken on two meanings. One centers on evaluation of the properties of existing technology options – e.g.‚ as you might choose between two printers. The other‚ and the one of interest here‚ has been classically defined by Joe Coates (1976) as: A class of policy studies which systematically examine the effects on society that may occur when a technology is introduced‚ extended‚ or modified. It emphasizes those consequences that are unintended‚ indirect‚ or

Biological Membrane Study: HCl‚ NaOH‚ SDS Objective and Hypothesis: The objective of this lab is to determine the effects of SDS‚ HCl‚ and NaOH on red cabbage cell membrane. Prior knowledge can tell us that the red cabbage is a red-purple color due to a pigment called anthocyanin. This is what we will be testing in the experiment. We also know that HCl is a strong acid (very low pH) and that NaOH is a strong base (very high pH). From information learned in this course (lecture/lab) we can assume

Agriculture and the Porter’s Five Forces Model Wandering across the internet I recently came across this poverty alleviation program by IFAD. For the uninitiated‚ IFAD – in their own words – are the agriculture specialists of the United Nations. Primarily a development body‚ it has been involved in many far reaching poverty alleviation projects world wide. So‚ as I was saying I happened to come across this program run by IFAD in Tanzania – called the Agriculture Marketing Systems Development Program

Centrifugal force Centrifugal force (from Latin centrum‚ meaning "center"‚ and fugere‚ meaning "to flee") is the apparent outward force that draws a rotating body away from the center of rotation. It is caused by the inertia of the body as the body’s path is continually redirected. In Newtonian mechanics‚ the term centrifugal force is used to refer to one of two distinct concepts: an inertial force (also called a "fictitious" force) observed in a non-inertial reference frame‚ and a reaction force corresponding

The Use of Force The point of view in the story “The Use of Force” is in first person narrative. This conveys inner the inner thoughts of the narrator as the doctor. The doctor is a reliable narrator and an observer. I feel that his personality is brought out in the doctor. So the doctors thoughts and behaviors are a reflection of the authors. As for the setting it takes place at a family’s home. I think it takes place somewhere in the early 1900’s. I think it would make a difference to the story

equilibrium of forces was investigated through the use of different weights attached to cords which were connected to a central ring‚ while pulleys supported them. This assembly facilitated the force band system to demonstrate that equilibrium will be attaining regardless of disturbances. However‚ due to errors in the experiment‚ the sum of the x and y component did equate to zero as predicted. The graphical solution of the experiment yield a polygon that is completed indicating that all the forces are in

officers have the authority to use force to ensure that laws are upheld and public safety and security maintained. The granting of that authority carries with it an expectation that the individual police officers and their law enforcement organizations will be openly and publicly accountable for any use of force. Police use of force is officially sanctioned‚ but questions remain. What is a reasonable use of force? Why and under what circumstances is one type of force chosen over another? What standards

The internet technology has become one of the most important forms of technology there is. It has come a long way from a research project funded by the American Department of Defense called ARPAnet‚ designed as a back-up system that could withstand a nuclear attack: if a bomb fell on part of it‚ the rest should keep working. One could never imagine a world without the internet‚ where information is just within your fingers. You can find anything from phone numbers to the scientific name of the zebra

Many things in life seem to change the way people live their daily lives. Technology changes a society‚ and in Ubik‚ by Philip K. Dick‚ the author reveals how technological dependence shapes the individual feelings and attitudes of people. Many believe that technology seems to make humans lazy. One reason it makes humans lazy is that they sit in one particular spot with their eyes glued to the piece of technology that they are on. This causes people to not be as active and interactive with other
