In 2004‚ Sarah Thomas‚ an undergraduate student at Portland State University‚ completed an experiment to determine the effect of biofeedback training on muscle tension and skin temperature. The purpose of this experiment was to train the subject of the experiment to change their decrease muscle tension and increase skin temperatures in response to tones. The experiment was based on the research done by Miller and Bruckner in 1979. The experiment done by Miller and Brucker dealt with how rats can

The twelve cranial nerves include the olfactory nerve‚ optic nerve‚ oculomotor nerve‚ trochlear nerve‚ trigeminal nerve‚ abducens nerve‚ facial nerve‚ vestibulocochlear nerve‚ glossyopharyngeal nerve‚ vagus nerve‚ accessory nerve‚ and the hypoglossal nerve. Each nerve functions as sensory‚ motor‚ or both

Goal(s): To study the effect of concentration on the rate of a reaction‚ and to find the order of the reaction in each reactant and write a rate equation. Background Theory: Chemical reactions occur at different rates that ultimately depend on their concentration‚ the temperature‚ the usage of catalysts‚ the nature of reactants‚ like the surface area of the particles. Concentration‚ for instance‚ increases the number of molecules or particles in a certain volume‚ so collisions will become more

oxygen‚ carbon dioxide‚ helium‚ and lab gas. We took a Ziplock bag‚ and turned into a non-stretchy balloon‚ and filled with each gas and measured the apparent mass then calculated the actual mass‚ then find a ratio between the mass of oxygen and the other gasses. We tried to keep the pressure about the same each time so our calculations would be more accurate. We found out that the heaviest was carbon dioxide‚ and the lightest was helium. In fact‚ helium and lab gas had a density below 0. Anyways

Celestial Geography I Emily Richarz PH090-04 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to introduce us to star charts and how to use them to find stars‚ constellations and other bodies in the sky. Procedure: The instructor gave a brief but thorough lecture and demonstration on how to go about finding the answers on the worksheet. We then filled out the worksheet that cover finding stars and constellations using right ascension and declination in general and on specific dates‚ where constellations

Animals have three types of muscles; skeletal‚ smooth‚ and cardiac. This lab however is only concerned with skeletal muscle. A special characteristic of skeletal muscle is their ability to contract or shorten via thin (actin) and thick (myosin) filaments (Flanagan‚2017). This gives a striated appearance which is a key distinguishing characteristic between other types of muscle (Flanagan‚2017). Skeletal muscle is also multinucleated. Skeletal muscle needs plentiful amounts of energy to be able to

Through this process‚ they are considered very unique because they are not altered or consumed within the reaction (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). This is why enzymes are considered biological catalysts. They also do not alter the equilibrium of a chemical reaction nor the amount of free energy that is released (Lab Manual 3 pg

The properties of dibenzalacetone make it a great substance to be used when protecting the skin from the sun. In the experiment performed‚ dibenzalacetone was created from an aldol condensation of 2 portions of benzaldehyde and acetone in sodium hydroxide. The reaction that occurred in this experiment is known as a specific aldol condensation called Claisen-Schmidt. In the reaction‚ the carbonyl of benzaldehyde reacts quickly with the acetone anion to create a hydroxyketone that dehydrates in the

BIomes are distinct from habitats‚ because any biome can comprise a variety of habitats. In our lab we had figure out the major components in a biome. For example‚ like the weather‚ what animals live in it‚ plant life‚ etc… And answer key questions to why something happens in a Biome. And how species and plant life depend on each other to survive
