All variables, in short, were mathematically measured and assessed and the mice were controlled to the strictest degree so that no extraneous element would intrude and corrupt the experiment. Mice were as closely matched as possible in all details as too were the living conditions in which the mice were kept. Elimination of all possible subjectivity made this a reliable scientific study. A larger population of mice could have been used in order to assess whether study possesses replicability, but 11:10 may be sufficient.
Do you think that there may be any possible biases or other problems in this experiment? Explain. Although many may conclude that coffee has a positive impact on lowering blood sugar, it seems to me that no conclusions can be applied from mice to humans since each have a different makeup aside from the fact that humans are far more differentiated than mice (and far more used to drinking coffee). Coffee is a generic aspect -- one need to discover which type, brand and so forth, as well as quantity would be the most effective in reducing blood level (if one were to accept value of experiment). Secondly, different people become affected by coffee in different ways. Ultimately, therefore, the experiment is interesting, but its applications are still in question.
A larger population of mice may be useful in order to test repeatability. The brand of coffee too may be a factor, as well as intensity of coffee (it would be interesting, for instance, to see whether a larger dose has the same effect). The way the coffee was produced (whether pure blend for instance) may also be a factor, and tehn too may be the fact that mice are simply unused to drinking coffee and this physiological factor alone may have had an impact.

Coffee and Caffeine Ameliorate Hypoglycemia, Fatty Liver, and Inflammatory Adipocytokine Expression in Spontaneously Diabetic KK-Ay Mice," authors Yamachui and colleagues (2010) the researchers investigated the relationship between certain chemicals and the physical health of living organisms. The investigators hypothesized that caffeine would prove to aid in the lowering of blood sugar in mice who have genetic markers which would give them diabetes. Hyperglycemia, an increase in blood sugar, is
Antigua Guatemala Coffee Antigua Guatemala International (AGI) will be a manufacturer and exporter of Guatemalan coffee to Japan and the global. AGI will use a new system in the food and beverage industry to offer Antigua Guatemala coffee in a time-efficient and convenient way. AGI will provide vendors, retailers, and cafes with the ability to buy freshly brewed Antigua Guatemala coffee. It will be a high quality option to the institutional
3 Competition As stated before, the competition in the coffee shops industry has increased drastically during the past recent years. In 2003, the industry had registered total sales of over $6 billion (Ferguson, 2004). The top five competitors of Sweettreats would be: Starbucks, Nestle, McDonald's, Dunkin and Gloria Jean's. Gloria Jean's is among the leaders of the industry and they basically address their products to the young population. The corporation is based
Starbucks Coffee Marketing Plan Industry Overview Competitive Landscape Target Markets Product Price Promotion Marketing Strategy Starbucks is a global coffee powerhouse that has had a success record that nearly any company would die for. It has never undertaken much a traditional route in regards to marketing and advertising. Starbucks specialty is using word of mouth, tribal, and viral social formats to promote its products and services. It is recommended in the wake of global populist movements that Starbucks further
Business Proposal for Coffee Shop & Restaurants: The Madam Walker Theatre History and Why the Business Fits My business proposal is to start (re-start) the coffee-shop/restaurant that once existed in Walker Theatre (it was then named “The Coffee Pot”). The Madam Walker Theatre was named after Madam C. J. Sarah Breedlove Walker, an African-American entrepreneur who specialized in hair care and beauty products that were manufactured and sold in the building that
Corporate communications involves not just the message, but the idea that communications are managed, and are connected to corporate objectives (Cornelissen, 2004). Therefore, when communication possibilities were limited, corporate options were limited, and one did not see communications management perspectives that advocated the type of intimate connection between communications and corporate strategy that one sees in a modern context (Cornelissen, 2004). What this makes clear is that CC is
