controversy. Does a dose of caffeine heighten one ’s mental performance‚ or does it achieve the opposite? Many experiments have already taken place in order to discover how caffeine effects a person ’s mental performance. In the Radiological Society of America ’s annual conference in December of 2005‚ Florian Koppelstatter reported an experiment in which he used functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) to determine how coffee effects brain activity. Subjects were then given either a cup of strong

The aseptically inoculate nutrient broth tubes A and B did not have any microbes inoculated into the tubes so it should not have been cloudy and that was what was seen. Tube C should have been cloudy because it had E. coli inoculated into the nutrient broth and that was also seen. A simple streak was also performed and it looks has if the loop went over previous streaks which should not have been done. A complex streak was also done. No colonies grew towards the end of the streak‚ this could be due

Essay Assignment II Nov. 28th‚ 2012 Discuss whether the functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is a new form of “phrenology”. Is it reliable enough to be used as evidence in court? After fMRI was first introduced‚ it has been under criticism that it is not hard science. The most common technique‚ the BOLD (blood oxygen level-dependent) fMRI‚ measures the increase in regional cerebral blood flow in response to increased metabolism‚ which is to be caused from heightened activity of neuron

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

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

calibrated flow nozzle for additional flow measure¬ment. If testing of the LP stage only is required the HP stage can be shut down completely. The test rig is fully equipped with measuring instruments like thermometers‚ pres¬sure gauges‚ inclined U-tube manometers‚ tachometers‚ etc. The technical data of the test rig are as follows: constant speed AC motor‚ while the HP stage is driven by a variable speed DC motor. This feature allows variation of the intermediate pressure. Each stage is provided

Anoura fistulata‚ otherwise known as the tube-lipped nectar bat‚ is a nectarivorous species endemic to South America (Mantilla-Meluk et al. 2009). A. fistulata specializes in feeding on the nectar and pollen from larger flowering plants‚ but also frequently hunts insects to round out it’s diet (Muchhala et al. 2005). However‚ unlike other species of the same genus A. fistulata has co-evolved as a pollinator of the bellflower Centropogon nigricans (Muchhala et al. 2009). C. nigricans has developed

level. The objective of this experiment is to study the characteristic of four different types of membrane. The membranes used in this experiment are polyamide film ( AFC 99 ) as membrane one ‚ polyamide film ( AFC 40 ) as membrane two ‚ cellulose acetate (CA 202 ) as the third membrane and PVDF (FP 100 ) that act as the fourth membrane. In order to identify the characteristic of all four membranes‚ experimental procedures should be done. The variable for this experiment is the membrane maximum inlet
