Path analysis procedures demonstrated that the participants' verbalization of the critical lures during the encoding process predicted their own levels of false recall of words in the lists. In short, encoding could be manipulated (deliberately even) to "enhance" and to produce false memories in a regular pattern (Goodwin, Meissner, & Ericsson, 2001, p. 806)
Method
In our experiment results, the hypothesis results were easily verifiable and follow-on clearly from earlier results of the academic literature. The method included an "in list," a not in list related category, and a not in list unrelated category

This mixture was strained into the beaker where the detergent was mixed in and the mixture was allowed to sit before being poured into the five test tubes, with (roughly) equal amounts of the mixture in each tube. Four to six drops of contact lens cleaning solution was added to each test tube and gently stirred with a cotton swab. Alcohol was then slowly poured down the side of the test tube, until an amount roughly equal to that of the underlying mixture rested at the top portion of the tube.
esults:
As expected, DNA precipitated in the border region where the water mixture met the alcohol in each test tube. This DNA material appeared as white clumps of strands in the test tubes, and was removed using cotton sticks. Substantial amounts of the DNA formed in each of the test tubes.
Discussion:

Specific data was then tabulated to determine the increase of bacteria resistant to specific, common types of antibiotics, like penicillin and erythromycin.
However, to determine the most effective method of coping with disease resistance, the experiment then reviewed the methods of a study in Finland that examined the effects of consciously cutting back on erythromycin prescriptions, which seemed to result in a precipitous drop in disease resistant-bacteria, versus previous studies of antibiotic rotation, which a study of a hospital population indicated was fairly ineffectual.
esults:
The number of new antibiotics developed by researchers has slowed dramatically since the 1960s. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have become more prevalent. Antibiotic 'rationing' seems to be the most effective way in the short run to contain the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Discussion:
As fewer types of antibiotics are developed, and more individuals are prescribed and use antibiotics, the chance of developing antibiotic-resistant bacteria increases. The suggested…… [Read More]
After gathering the supplies together, the salt, water, and paper (torn into smaller strips) were mixed in a blender until the consistency of the liquid was entirely homogenous. Once this consistency was reached, the liquid was poured into a beaker through a strainer in order to remove any solids remaining, and the liquid soap was then mixed in. This mixture then sat to rest for several minutes before being divided amongst the test tubes, and a pinch of the meat tenderizing powder was added to the liquid in each tube and carefully stirred using a cotton stick. A small amount of isopropyl alcohol was then poured into each test tube, and the test tubes were examined for the white string substance at the border of the alcohol and the water mixture that is DNA.
esults:
Despite expectations, the DNA substance did form in each of the test tubes, suggesting that…… [Read More]
Drosophila Lab Report During the Mendel's Rule
Words: 1684 Length: 6 Pages Document Type: Lab Report Paper #: 76635155Drosophila Lab eport
During the Mendel's rule in 1900, Drosophila melanogaster became a favorite model organism for genetics research. The life cycle of the fruit flies or Drosophila melanogaster, consists of the egg-larva-pupa-adult (male and female). The chromosomes are detailed structurally in comparison to the other normal chromosomes. The chromosomes also have the capacity to show during interphase when normal chromosomes are invisible. The main objective of this experiment is to oversee setup of reciprocal crosses with pure-breeding males and virgin females in relation to the application of Drosophila melanogaster.
Following the rediscovery of the Mendel's rule in 1900, Drosophila melanogaster became a favorite model organism for genetics research. The model (fruit fly) enhanced its popularity among the genetic researchers because of several reasons. One of the essential reasons for its popularity is because of the essence of small flies with increased rearing abilities within the context of the laboratories.…… [Read More]
The solution started out as blue/black at T=0. There was no further change observed until T=3 minutes where the solution began turning a lighter color. At T=4.5 it changed to amber and began to lighten. At T=8.5 it changed to clear and the starch was used up.
Room Temperature Tube
The second test tube was allowed to maintain a room temperature of 24 degrees Celsius the room temperature tube had an almost instant reaction at T=.5 minutes. By T=1 minute, the solution had lightened significantly. At T=1.5 minutes, the starch was degraded and the solution was clear. This was by far the fastest reaction.

Having lived in Florida for a long period of time, I am quite familiar with many of the plants that are in many of the surrounding areas. As such, I would hypothesize that there would be mostly fern plants, or Pteridophytes, plant samples identified in a typical Florida backyard. These often grow near fences and water locations, like the ponds that are common in Florida. Flowering plants, or angiosperms would most likely follow, with a lesser number of gymnosperms because of the sheer size of such trees, and relatively no bryophytes.

The next page shows both the refrigerated bread (top) and the bread stored at room temperature. The slices were taken out of the plastic bags to eliminate glare when photographed. The refrigerated slices were easy to separate and none showed evidence of mold. The room temperature slices could not be separated without breaking the bread; mold and moisture made the bread fall apart when it was picked up outside the bag.

Gram Staining Lab
The Gram staining of bacteria is one of the most important tests in identifying specific bacterial strains, and is usually the first test performed when medical or research laboratories need to identify an unknown bacteria (Xu, 1997; AACC, 2011). Named for the inventor of the technique, Hans Christian Gram, Gram staining first came into use in Gram's own Danish medical and research practice in 1882, and became very widely known and used after the details of the technique were published in 1884 (Xu, 1997). Though some adjustments can be made to the original technique without losing effectiveness, the basic process of Gram staining has remained unchanged for over a century, and is as effective and essential a test today as it was in the latter half of the nineteenth century (Xu, 1997).
Simply put, the Gram staining test often (though not always) allows the researcher…… [Read More]

Abbott Labs and Macroeconomics
It is a fact that the recent economic downturn affected every individual and company in some way, but companies that had solid business plans prior to the start of the crisis were better able to weather the financial storm. For example, a company that had a diverse range of business that included both products that depended the level of a consumer's disposable income and another group of products that are indispensable would probably be able to meet its financial goals despite global economic issues. Such a company is Abbott Laboratories. Because the primary business of Abbott is producing medical devices, pharmaceuticals and tests that are widely considered standards in the medical community (Abbott Laboratories, 2012), the company has been able to maintain its profitability throughout the economic crisis. However, macroeconomic indicators do have an effect on the continued economic viability of the company and they…… [Read More]

This lab was performed by cutting out 100 small squares of five different colors, representing prey. There were twenty squares each of yellow, blue, red, green, and black that were spread evenly on a one by one meter newspaper. Two people then began to pick up the squares until only 25 remained. The field of prey was then replenished by adding three similarly colored squares for each "survivor" to replicate reproduction and the results were tallied. This action was performed three more times, yielding the following results:
How do the original and surviving prey populations compare?
The black and blue populations increased greatly, while all the others decreased with each successive generation.
How did the colors of each type of prey affect its population size over time?
The darker colors saw their population grow while brighter colors saw their populations decline over time.

The obesity crisis is, I believe, even more important than problems surrounding food safety-borne epidemics. Despite the recent attention given to obesity in the popular media, obesity is in some ways more difficult to treat than food safety issues. People's consciousness may be raised by a fear if becoming sick through food poisoning and throw out the offending, recalled products on their shelves if they contain salmonella or e.coli, but they seem less willing and/or able to change food habits that have been ingrained within them since childhood.
The diabetes epidemic, along with other illnesses related to obesity (like heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and osteoarthritis) will increase unless more active preventative healthcare measures are undertaken on a wide scale.

Therefore, differentiated instruction may take many forms and may utilize various instructional methods in differentiation of instruction and includes those listed in the table above under the heading 'Differentiated'. Flexibility is 'key' in this pursuit and instruction that is 'reactive', 'fixed', or 'closed' is not differentiated because differentiated instruction is never characterized by any of these three elements. The work of aum and Nichols (2007) states that there are four keys to differentiation. Those four keys are as follows:

This demonstration is available in The Video Encyclopedia of Physics and it is also somehow simple to construct from scratch. The aim of this report is to discuss how the wave-like patterns created by the swinging pendula could be explained by a simple extension to the standard decryption of transverse oscillating waves in a single dimension (Couder, Proti'ere, Fort and Boudaoud, 2005).

Chromatin Lab Report
The use of DNA in today's world is very obvious, and the ability of the researcher and scientist to successfully manipulate this source of information to contribute to learning and understanding is great and powerful. DNA is found amongst chromatin which is found in certain types of fatty cells. Chromatin is key to the design of cells as it provides blueprints on how individual cells can be constructed. Since the packing structure of DNA is very dense this chemical reaction provides an understanding of how cellular relationships unfold and manifest.
DNA must be removed from the Chromatin which is stored as nucleosomes as the DNA strands wrap around these cellular structures. Saline provides an excellent solution to help separate these bonds and provide the isolating power to extract DNA for further examination. To salinize the targeted substance a constant and increasing amount of saline solution is added…… [Read More]
Human Activity Cause Global Warming

The lab experiments support the human origins of global warming through comparing average temperatures and fuel emissions over the course of the industrial era and beforehand.
Materials and Methods:
The methodology of the study was to examine the standard deviation of temperatures spanning from 1860 (the beginnings of the industrial revolution) to 2000. Negative values represent a cooler deviation from the norm, and positive values represent a warmer deviation from the norm. Until the turn of the century, deviations were trending lower, when suddenly they began to increase around 1980 (Step 2, p.1).
Of course, the problem with such data is that climactic averages have only been tracked relatively recently. However, projected past data suggests the previous 1,000 years were characterized by a general…… [Read More]

Lab eport in Geography
The heating of materials varies considerable depending on material composition and atmospheric conditions. A considerable amount of the sun's energy can be reflected back into the atmosphere, in a process called albedo (Lutgens & Tarbuck, 1998, p. 36). The average albedo rates for sand, mud, asphalt, and water are approximately 20-30%, 10%, 5-10%, and 3-80%, respectively, depending on the position of the sun relative to the surface of water (p. 40).
The process of heating materials will vary as well. For example, asphalt and dry sand would primarily use conduction for thermal transfer, while bodies of water or air would use convection (p. 30). On the other hand, thermal transfer for wet soil or mud has the added complexity of latent heating (p. 76). Latent heating or evaporation has a strong cooling effect on the liquid moisture remaining, a loss of 600…… [Read More]
Diffusion and Osmosis Experiment Lab eport
The core purpose of the first experiment conducted in the lab was to study the principle of diffusion. The experiment aimed at analyzing the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration towards lower concentration. Potassium permanganate crystals were dissolved in water to observe the process of diffusion. The observations and results attained from the experiment indicated the movement of molecules which occurred due to molecular collisions, taking place more frequently in areas of higher concentration.
Molecules present in a liquid or a gas move about constantly in random directions. During their movement, they bump into each other and bounce this way and that way. This random movement ultimately results in the uniform or even distribution of molecules. The tendency of molecules to spread out evenly throughout the space occupied by them is referred as diffusion. The process of diffusion does not require…… [Read More]

Massachusetts 557 U.S. 305 (2009), police arrested Luis Melendez-Diaz as the defendant was making an illegal cocaine sale in a Kmart parking lot in Massachusetts. During the trial, the Court brought into evidence, bags of cocaine Melendez-Diaz allegedly distributed along with approved drug analysis certificates a certified lab technician prepared. The lab technician also examined the drugs, identifying them as the illegal substance, cocaine and testified it was cocaine in Court. While Melendez-Diaz sought to enter a plea of not-guilty, a jury convicted Melendez-Diaz of trafficking and distributing cocaine in direct violation of Massachusetts law.
Melendez-Diaz appealed as he felt when the State introduced the drug analysis certificates performed by the lab technician, it violated his Six Amendment right that consisted of confronting witnesses against him using the Court's ruling in another case, Crawford v. Washington. In the Crawford ruling, it was held that so-called "testimonial" proof cannot…… [Read More]

Another case illustrates how important proper investigation can be to the outcome of a case. Various authors cite the case of a fire in a home that killed two children. The children's mother had left them in the care of her boyfriend, who left them alone and left the residence. A small fire was seen burning outside the home after he left. The authors note, "The suspect was arrested and charged with arson and murder. Law enforcement authorities claimed that accelerant was detected on the suspect's clothes and in fire debris sampled outside the dwelling" (Various authors, 2003, p. 127). In fact, the accelerant found outside the home was completely different from that found on the suspect, (which was gasoline), and eventually the charges were dropped. The defendant worked as an automobile mechanic, which explained the presence of gasoline on his clothing. This indicates how a botched investigation can lead…… [Read More]

SVC syndrome involving the brain can be fatal and must be treated immediately. But enlarged lymphatic tissue in the chest cavity generally tends to displace -- rather than press upon or encase -- adjacent structures. Therefore, compromised breathing and SVC syndrome are relatively uncommon signs of lymphoma. (Hodgkin's Disease, 1998-2008)

Night sweats, fevers or anemia (a low red-blood-cell count), fevers may indicate Hodgkin's disease has spread to an individual's bone marrow. In these scenarios, a physician may order bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. In biopsy, medical staff uses a large needle to remove a narrow, cylindrical piece of the patient's bone.

The efficiency of the modern healthcare system is increasingly becoming reliant on a computerized infrastructure. Open distributed information systems have been initiated to bring professionals together on a common platform throughout the world. It needs to be understood that easy and flexible methods of processing and communication of images; sound and texts will help in visualizing and thereby cure illnesses and diseases effectively. Another aspect is that the easy access and usage can risk patient privacy, accountability, and secrecy associated with the healthcare profession. Therefore, Information Technology -- IT must be able to focus mainly on improving the health of the patient and should not put the patient's health in danger. (IO Press)

Evaluating clinical learning outcomes
Describe the skill and the learner you intend to teach and evaluate
Because of cutbacks in the number of days new patients are allotted to spend in the hospital, patients and their families are increasingly responsible for more of the patient's care, even immediately following a diagnosis of a serious illness such as type I, or juvenile, insulin-dependent diabetes. Teaching patients to correctly monitor their blood sugar and self-administer insulin is essential, but it requires a high level of patient compliance and willingness to learn. It is essential that young patients and their parents have a thorough understanding of the process.
Briefly describe how you would design the learning experience
Learning is a step-by-step process. It is important not to bombard patients with knowledge right away, when they are still frightened and confused. Also, although there are real risks with…… [Read More]

How do the rights and responsibilities of patients differ from the rights and responsibilities of employees? How are they similar?
Until recently, patient responsibilities were seldom directly 'spelled out' in the American healthcare system. This changed with the passage of HIPAA in 1996. HIPPA "sets forth policies and standards for how patient information, including doctors' notes, medical test results, lab reports, and billing information may be shared" (Torrey, 2012, HIPPA). It gives patients the right to access their information and demands that patient data be treated in a secure fashion. Also under the law, patients have a right to informed consent over the procedures they undergo, so that they or a designated caregiver can make decisions about what they perceive to be their best interests. Ultimately, the healthcare system must serve the needs of patients, not physicians and other healthcare employees. That is why patients must give…… [Read More]

Genome Wide Association Study Analysis for OCD Complications

The OCD (Obsessive -- compulsive disorder) is referred as repetitive behaviors and thoughts experienced by individuals. (Visscher, Brown, McCarthy, et al. (2012). Typically, the genes' characteristics of twins and families have revealed that the OCD has the feature of multifactorial familial condition involving both environmental and polygenic factors. (Moran, 2013). Genetic studies have revealed that the interaction of the glutamatergic, serotonergic, and dopaminergic systems and genes affecting them play a crucial role in functioning of the circuit. (Yang, Lee, Goddard, Mand et al. 2011). Meanwhile, the environmental factors that include psychological trauma, adverse perinatal effects and neurological trauma may modify the risk genes, which can consequently manifest the compulsive-obsessive behaviors. (Visscher, Brown, McCarthy et al. 2012). The OCD is a frequent and, relative common debilitating neuropsychiatric disorder affecting 2% of the U.S. population. (Arnold, Sicard, Burroughs, et al.

DDI is a systematic and precise method designed to enhance learning by students. The cycle of inquiry for data driven instruction entails assessment, analysis of the student performance and action. It is a central causal factor for the realization of student success. The student tasks indicate to us what our learners are capable of doing and what they know. They also indicate points of weakness in their learning activities. The central question is how to make use of such data to close the gaps in the learning process. Experts in the education sector cite the use of data driven instruction and inquiry as an important tool in improving student performance (Data Driven Instruction, 2016).

The "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released data claiming that one in five middle and high school students are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke while in cars." (Yahanda, 2012, p. 1) Thus there are many proponents of banning smoking while in the car and children are present. This type of law is difficult because to many it impinges on individual freedom in a private location. Secondly, a U.S. District judge blocked the government mandate that required cigarette companies to place specific graphic images of the effects of cigarette smoking on cigarette boxes. This case also deals with the government authority to require corporations to compel private business to include images on their product.

There are other solutions that manufacturers are working on to handle this. Cloth diapers may be used in conjunction with a fully disposable, flushable diaper liner that can be sent down the toilet to limit landfill waste. This may be a good alternative and a compromise between the government regulations and an ease of use for parents for their children. This may be a reason that cloth diapers are better, but on the other hand the diapers would still need to be washed, thus using fresh water to clean them. Fresh water in the future may also be a limited resource so this solution also has its own issues. Time will tell for which solution proves to be the most economical.
