Surveillance issues in today’s society are becoming more concerning by the day. Paco Underhill‚ author of “Why we Buy: The Science of Shopping”‚ explains that with his unique surveillance approach‚ he has revolutionized many businesses marketing techniques. By gathering data and following consumers every move‚ Underhill adamantly argues that his techniques will increase sales and make consumers happier. Some people believe this kind of surveillance to be unethical‚ when in actuality‚ research has

Biology – The Science of Life Biology – derived from the words “bios”‚ which means life and “logos” which means study. It is therefore the study of life or living things. Major Divisions of Biology 1. Botany - study of plants - has a subcategory: •Phycology – study of seaweeds and algae 2. Zoology - study of animals - has eight subcategories: •Morphology – study of gross structures of organisms •Anatomy – study of the form and structure of organisms •Mammalogy – study of

whenever motion with friction occurs‚ for example when a viscousfluid is stirred. Another important consequence of many types of friction can be wear‚ which may lead to performance degradation and/or damage to components. Friction is a component of the science of tribology. Friction is not itself a fundamental force but arises from interatomic and intermolecular forces between the two contacting surfaces. The complexity of these interactions makes the calculation of friction from first principles impractical

Lab 1 – Introduction to Science Exercise 1: The Scientific Method Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid‚ such as water. Since many living organism requires oxygen to survive‚ it is a necessary component of water systems such as streams‚ lakes and rivers in order to support aquatic life. The dissolved oxygen is measured in units of parts per million (ppm). Examine the data in Table 4 showing the amount of dissolved oxygen present and the number of fish observed in the body of

created in 400 B.C. by the Romans. The mangonel was created like the Greek ballista but was smaller and mobile. Our catapult was based on some aspects of the mangonel. In the following I will talk about the process and materials used to make it and the science of the catapult. Some of the materials we used are: Wood- for the structure of the catapult Bungee Cords- to give the arm a bounce so when the ball is released it would go far Spray Paint- to give a base of
