Tuskegee Syphilis experiment is the most infamous clinical study conducted in the United States between 1932 -1972. The study of natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural Africa American men‚ led to a forty year study which was controversial for reasons related to ethical standards; researchers knowingly failed to treat patients after the 1940s validation of penicillin. The patients with syphilis were never told they had it‚ were part of a case study‚ could leave the experiment at any given

If one goes out before we wake up‚ we will get two more of the same type of battery and watch it during the day. Variables Our variable is the different brand of batteries. The controlled condition is the same type of flashlights. Results Our experiment showed that Rayovac outlasted all of the other batteries we tested by at more than two hours. The Eveready battery‚ which is a regular‚ non-alkaline battery‚ lasted only 6 hours and 35 minutes. The Duracell lasted 15 hours. The Energizer lasted

Purpose This experiment shows how different concentrations of acids and bases in a solution affect its pH level. When acids and bases are combined in a solution‚ they neutralize each other. This means that depending on the concentration of both acids and bases in a solution‚ the pH will vary. A neutral pH level is 7; anything below that level is known as an acidic solution‚ while anything above is known as a basic solution. To find out the pH‚ the solutions will be diluted and tested with different

In the eye opening documentary‚ The Human Experiment‚ directed by Don Hardy and Dana Nachman‚ the many health dangers of thousands of harmful chemicals in everyday products are exposed. The film explores the lives of people who have been affected by the ubiquitous chemicals found in our food and our homes. The film addresses the battle against powerful industries that are determined to keep consumers in the dark about the dangers of many of their products. The fight against dangerously lethal chemicals

Objective 1. To demonstrate the relationship between the pressure and temperature of saturated steam in equilibrium with water. 2. To determine the vapour pressure curve. Introduction Properties of a fluid can change when heat and work are applied to it. There’s an interchange between the fluid and its surroundings when heat and work are applied according to the study of thermodynamics. Substances such as gases and vapors are often referred as P-V-T substances. Theory: An ideal gas

After a holding period of 18 hours for winter captured crabs and a period of 30 hours for summer captured crabs‚ all individuals were transferred to containers with experimental temperature and salinity levels to begin the experiment. To observe changes due to salinity concentrations over the 48-hour period‚ groups of crabs were exposed to one of the eight salinity treatments‚ and temperature treatments were held constant at 5°C or 15°C to resemble winter or summer field conditions

In the 1600’s and 1700’s‚ the economies of the northern and southern colonies were affected due to many different factors. Because of the different climates and geography of their land‚ the northern colonies and southern colonies had different resources available to them‚ which shaped their societies into what they are today. The resources available to the northern colonies were completely different from the resources that were available to the southern colonies. In the northern colonies‚ due
