What are the effects of treatment programs and how do these programs assist the rate of recidivism? According to Steadman and Naples (2005)‚ 11.4 million people are booked within the United States prison system annually and of that‚ it is estimated that seven percent have been diagnosed with a serious mental disorder as well. Treatment programs have been previously scrutinized however; studies have shown that relapses and recommitting of criminal acts by substance abusers is common during the

Low Interest Rates Long Term Effect "The prolonged low-interest rate environment is transforming the banking industry from savings and loans to service and loans‚" said Dan Geller‚ executive vice president of research firm Market Rates Insight in San Anselmo‚ Calif. (Fitzpatrick) Consumers may think that the continued low interest rates are a profound thing‚ but banks on the other hand think much differently. Consumers are refinancing their houses at rates as low as 2.875%‚ while big banks like

different preventive measures & engaged in joint projects to lower their suicide rates. Countries like China‚ Japan‚ Singapore‚ Australia & Pakistan have joined the project‚ Strategies to Prevent Suicide (STOPS)‚ in order to lessen their increasing number of suicide. However‚ in trying to prevent the increase in number of suicide deaths and attempts‚ one must know what the leading causes of it are. Suicide rates change over time‚ and the factors influencing them remain poorly understood. Economic

In my investigation I am going to establish the effect of changing light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis. What is Photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is how plants get their food. The reason why plants have leaves‚ roots or being green is all linked to photosynthesis. In photosynthesis‚ a plant takes carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil and uses the light from sunlight to turn them into food. Photosynthesis occurs only in the presence of light‚ and takes place in the chloroplasts

The Effect of Varying Temperatures to the Rate of Respiration of Bufo marinus Statement of the problem: At which environmental temperature‚ do toads have the highest respiration rate? Most animals obtain oxygen‚ which comprise 21% of the air‚ from the environment. Oxygen combines with hemoglobin of the blood to form oxyhemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin is transported to the tissues where oxygen is released and used for the metabolic functions of the animal. The functions produce waste materials‚ such

The effect of exercise on heart rate Word Count THE EFFECT OF EXERCISE ON HEART RATE Abstract - Aims - This study is to ascertain‚ if there is an effect on heart rate after exercise. This is being done to see‚ if there is a difference between resting heart rate and heart rate after performing exercise. Method and results - The study was compiled of seven female students from the University of Huddersfield. For the exercise a step was used‚ a polar heart rate monitor was used for

Aim: To find the effect of temperature on enzymes‚ using a potato as a catalyst. The source of catalase is in the potato cells. 2H2O2 → O2 + H2O Planning: Introduction: An Enzyme is any one of many specialised organic substances‚ composed of polymers of amino acids‚ that act as catalysts to regulate the speed of the many chemical reactions involved in the metabolism of living organisms Enzymes are classified into several broad categories‚ such as hydrolytic‚ oxidising‚ and reducing‚ depending

The metabolic response to prolonged starvation Early stage of prolonged starvation Starvation occurs when the body has a severe lack of nutrients needed to survive. The body has ways of adapting to periods without food‚ for example overnight it needs to survive without any additional nutrients whilst asleep. The body however also has ways of adapting for as long as long as 5-6 weeks (Garber‚ 1974). Therefore‚ looking at the metabolic state during starvation is over a long time period. The body

The Effect of Varying Molecular Weights on the Rate of Diffusion of Substances August 22‚2012 ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was verified by the 2 tests: the glass tube setup and the water agar-gel setup. In the glass tube setup‚ two cotton balls were soaked in the solutions of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) and were simultaneously placed on both ends of the tubing.NH4OH had a lighter molecular weight of 35 g/mole which diffused
