The Milgram Experiment Stanley Milgram‚ a famous social psychologist‚ and student of Solomon Asch‚ conducted a controversial experiment in 1961‚ investigating obedience to authority (1974). The experiment was held to see if a subject would do something an authority figure tells them‚ even if it conflicts with their personal beliefs and morals. He even once said‚ "The social psychology of this century reveals a major lesson: often it is not so much the kind of person a man is as the kind of situation

BIOSC 0050 Oct. 9‚ 2012 Dead or Alive? (Week 2) Post-Lab Assignment Results: The results of the Feulgen’s Schiff’s Stain test are that samples ALV-188-23 and ALV-843-20 turned magenta and samples ALV-882-21 and ALV-694-02 did not turn magenta. The result of the tetrazolium test is that all four of the samples did not turn pink. We were not able to conduct the detailed analysis of cultured plates with growth‚ so not results are available for this test. Discussion: For the Feulgen’s/Schiff’s

The Angel of Death: Dr. Josef Mengele Dr. Josef Mengele: one of the most notorious doctors in history. He is one of the many names that come to mind when discussing the Holocaust. He performed vile‚ bizarre and inhumane experiments on prisoners within Auschwitz that had no genuine impact on the science community‚ other that being a personification of the words “unethical” and “malpractice.” Josef Mengele was born March 16‚ 1911 in Gunzburg‚ Germany. His parents were Karl and Walburga Mengele. He

This part of the experiment yielded an exothermic reaction. The purpose was to calculate the specific heat capacity and molar mass of the zinc metal. The specific heat capacity was found to be 0.197 J/g °C with a percent error of -49.5%. The molar mass was found to be 127 g/mol with a percent error of 94.2%. Possible sources of error inherent to this segment of the experiment were the fact that when the temperature of the solution was being measured

Osmosis Lab Report The essential focus of the experiment was to acquire data for the mass change resulting from osmosis in order to determine the carbohydrate solution of the carrot cells. The carrots were a vegetable used within the experiment with a carbohydrate solution around .5 M. The hypothesis is if there are carrots in different carbohydrate solutions then there will be a percent change in mass. The carrots have large vacuoles that hold water‚ this allows the mass to increase when the hypertonic

The aim of the experiment was to examine the effects of consuming lactate before and during a prolonged exercise. The data shows that the consumption of the lactate actually did work and the performance of the subject was better than the previous three experiments of dieting. This was due to the lactate that was consumed in the CytoMax. Azevedo‚ Tietz‚ Two-Feathers‚ Paull‚ and Chapman (2007) state that CytoMax contains polylactate which speeds up the delivery of substrates and is thought to help

has one ’s short term memory. The method used was a mixed design‚ a combination of the repeated measures and independent measures designs. The participants used were chosen from a sample opportunity‚ and all were twelfth grade Biology students. The results indicate that the lowest average score was that of the experimental group‚ after they ingested caffeine. The conclusion made is that I was unable to replicate the results of Koppelstatter‚ Mitchell‚ or Womble and Lesk. My results‚ in contrast

Design an experiment to test the hypothesis that caffeine enhances a student’s ability to hit a baseball. Describe your experiment by answering the following questions: 1) What are the independent and dependent variables? The independent variable
