This paper will examine each briefly and how they can be used effectively in the design of a survey questionnaire. Qualitative Data Data that can be categorized into one of several non-numerical categories is qualitative. You are recording some quality that the data possesses. Care needs to be taken to

Introduction 2 If a physical phenomenon of interest is random‚ then each time history measurement x(t) of that phenomenon represents a unique set of circumstances which is not Iikely to be repeated in other independent measurements of that same phenomenon. Hence‚ to completely define all properties of the phenomenon‚ it is necessary to conceptually think in terms of all the time history measurements {x(t)} that might have been made. For the usual case of engineering interest where the phenomenon

Lab #3 January 30‚ 2012 1. Title: Laboratory Techniques and Measurements 2. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to learn laboratory techniques and to how to measure precisely. During this lab I will learn how to measure length‚ temperatures‚ volume‚ density‚ and mass using laboratory equipment. I will be using laboratory equipment to prepare dilutions and calculate them while using an algebraic formula. 3. Procedure: In order to perform this lab I needed the following materials:

Given the potential dangers of nanotechnology‚ should it be used to lightweight sports equipment? Nanotechnology has an array of uses‚ from sunscreen to sporting equipment. Sports equipment has been vastly innovated by the discovery and application of nanotechnology in recent years. The highest end tennis racquets‚ baseball bats and even racing bicycles all use nanotechnology to combine strength and lightness provided by this technology. Some of the bicycles made with nanotechnology are priced at

VIBRATION MEASUREMENT In some practical situations‚ it might be difficult to develop a mathematical model of the system and predict its vibration characteristics through an analytical study. In such cases‚ we can use experimental methods to measure the vibration response of the system to a known input. This helps in identifying the system in terms of its mass‚ stiffness‚ and damping. In practice the measurement of vibration becomes necessary for the following reasons: 1. The increasing demands
