Solomon E. Asch “Opinions and Social Pressure” Salomon E. Asch in his essay “Opinions and Social Pressure” conducted an experiment to determine effects of group pressure towards an individual and concluded that there is a very strong tendency to conformity even when doing so conflicting with their own senses of morality. In the experiment a group of young students have to compare length of lines on two different sheets of paper. On one of them there is a sample single line and on the other

The primary challenge of inhabiting a high salinity environment is balancing osmotic pressure. Since these environments contain high salt concentrations‚ water from the cells of organisms spontaneously diffuses out of the cytoplasm in order to restore osmotic balance. This leaves cells dehydrated and thus‚ eventually causes cell death. In order to ameliorate this predicament‚ halophiles use one of two unique strategies that function to increase the osmolarity of the cell‚ both of which as illustrated

Object The object of this experiment is to investigate the variations in fluid pressure for flow in straight pipes‚ through pipe bends‚ fittings‚ orifice and venturi meters. 3.1.2. Theory When a fluid flows along a pipe‚ friction between the fluid and the pipe wall causes a loss of energy. This energy loss shows itself as a progressive fall in pressure along the pipe and varies with
