MGMT 379 – November 21‚ 2013 Week 5 – New Systems When looking into a new system there are many areas that need to be directly addressed before choosing if the system can be developed in-house or if outsourcing is best. First off companies need to decide what all they need the new system to do and if that type of system is already on the market. With all the technology resources available to companies and individuals there is a good chance that the needed system or a comparable one is already on

Lab: Comparison of Three Isomers of Butanol Pre-lab: 1. Write the general reaction of an alcohol and HCl. 2. What would the solubility be of an alcohol in water. 3. What would the solubility be of an alkyl halide in water? 4. What is the purpose of KMnO4 in the reactions? Safety: Concentrated hydrochloric acid is corrosive and the vapour is very irritating to the respiratory system. Avoid contact with skin‚ eyes‚ clothing‚ and the lab bench. Wear eye protection and a lab apron.

February 25‚ 2013 Lab: Equilibrium of Forces Purpose/Objective: The objective of this lab was to test the first condition of equilibrium for a set of concurrent coplanar forces‚ prove Lami’s Theorem‚ and to determine an unknown mass using rules of equilibrium. Procedure: In the lab‚ we wanted to find at what angles three separate weights would create a net zero force on a force table so that the ring holding the weights was exactly centered in the middle

Irresistible? By Elizabeth Potter December 5‚ 2012 Lab Section 503 Abstract The over all goal of the Irresistible lab was to verify a buffer’s ability to resist changes in pH with consecutive 1mL additions of either a strong acid (HCl) or base (NaOH). The experiment entailed preparing a combination 10 buffered and non-buffered solutions and then monitoring the pH changes as a strong acid or base was added to the solution. By performing this experiment‚ it was found that with increasing amounts

Cogdell 1 Torrey Cogdell July 30‚ 2013 Period 5‚ Lisa Harris Homeostasis Lab Report Objective: This experiment was conducted to determine how homeostasis maintains the bodies balance after doing a workout. Homeostasis is the maintaining of a balanced condition in the body despite changing external conditions or demands on the body. In this lab the participant was to execute an exercise to determine if homeostasis would maintain an stable heart beat and breathing rate. Materials:
