...also vaporizing the crust of the other planet. This in return heated up the planets and caused large chunks of molten masses to shoot out into space. However due to the earths strong gravity pull not all of the molten chunks escaped out into space but however was trapped by earth’s gravity and stayed in place. Over thousands of years this molten mass would eventually turn into what we know today as the moon and to explain the low iron count of the moon. Another hypothesis is that of the Nebular hypothesis. It states that the solar system as a whole started off as nebula cloud of gasses and dust. Which in time a gravitational collapse happened and the cloud started to rotate? This rotation in returned caused the mass to start to heat up due the fact the gravitational energy transitioned into thermal energy. After time the mass starts to cool off leaving rocky material to condense into partials. Eventually these particles begin to slam into one another forming asteroid size bodies in return these bodies forming into the size of planets rotating around the sun. In theory this is how the planets and the asteroid belt were formed in our solar system. When...

...difference between a hypothesis and a null hypothesis, as well as the research method that uses the uses a hypothesis. I will explain the key elements needed to develop a well written set of hypotheses. You will be able to identify what I believe are the key elements of a well written set of hypotheses and research question. A definition of the term research question will be given. Do know the major differences between qualitative and quantitative research? After reading my post you will have a better understanding. Quantitative researchers seek to “explain the causes of changes in social facts, primarily through objective measurement and quantitative analysis” (Firestone, 1987, p. 16). Quantitative researchers use numbers to study the phenomenon or occurrence. A hypothesis is a tentative explanation based on theory to predict a casual relationship between variables (Course Materials, 2013). Whatever the hypothesis is predicting, the null hypothesis is proving the complete opposite. In my opinion a well-written hypothesis must contain key elements. First a hypothesis has to be developed. At development, research must be carried out. The research results will prove or disprove the hypothesis. However, to show that your data was not produced by random chance, the results of the hypothesis must be compared to the opposite of what is trying to be proved. Remember, the opposite of what is trying to be proven is the null hypothesis. A well-written hypothesis let's also be able...

...The Scientific Method is made up of 8 steps. These six steps help scientists come to a conclusion about differentaspects of the Earth and the way it functions. The first step of the ScientificMethod is “Make an Observation”. When making an observation you are looking atwhatever the objects or solutions you will be testing. The next step of theScientific Method is “Ask a Question”. When asking a question, your questionwill be related to whatever you question about the beginning of yourexperiment. The third step of the Scientific Method is “Form a Hypothesis”. When forming a hypothesis, the scientist is coming up with an educated guessabout what they think will happen when they do the experiment. The scientist willlook back at their hypothesis...

...follow the first moving object they see and keep follow it after that. This is called Imprinting. The idea of the theory imposes that the infant would show imprinting to their own mother who would then explain the strong attachment/bond between the infant and caregiver/mother. The principle of this study is that attachment is an innate and adaptive process for both infant and parent meaning. As such, it provides an evolutionary perspective. Attachment behaviour in infants and animals has been made stronger, has been endured and evolved because it helps them survive, as Darwin’s theory of evolution has proposed. The theory consists of different parts and promotes survival of the infants/animals in several ways which are: 1. Safety: By forming an attachment it means that there is a desire to gain and maintain proximity and this ensures safety for the infant. Both infant and the caregiver experiences feelings of anxiety when separated and this creates a proximity-seeking drive for both (have the desire of being too next to this person). 2. Emotional relationships: oh having a strong attachment to someone as an infant means they develop the skills to be able to produce healthy, stable and being able to conduct emotional relationships in future. Bowlby used the ideas of the internal working model – of having a conscious or /and unconscious rules and expect ions towards other to see how these relationships work and how it happens. This model...

...MPE711: Global Trade and Markets ASSESSMENT GUIDE In both assessment 1 (presentation) and assessment 2 (written research article) you will be required to work in a group on the same research topic. Groups should consist of 3 to 4 individuals. Exceptions to this can be made for offcampus students if they can demonstrate difficulty in finding group members. You are free to form your own groups, whether through face-to-face contact or by using the ‘group formation’ forum on CloudDeakin. Ensure once your group is formed that you register it on CloudDeakin. You are required to finalise your group formation by the second week of trimester. GROUP WORK TIPS Your group will benefit from diversity. You are encouraged to form groups with a broad range of skills covering quantitative analysis, writing, editing skills and leadership skills. You should also try to form groups that cover diverse industry groups and cultural backgrounds. You should consider appointing a leader for the group. The role of the leader is to coordinate meetings and set deadlines. However, the group should still agree on decisions made by the leader and the group cannot expect the leader to bear responsibility for the group’s performance. At the initial stage, avoid assigning different tasks to each member. You are encouraged to work as a group, meaning you should first think about the project as a whole, write down some bullet points, and then meet together to work out a plan prior to the assigning of tasks...

...Understanding The Transformation Of E. Coli Bacteria Using Plasmid DNA pGLO To Trigger Resistance To Ampicillin. Author: Nick Delagarza Section: Tuesday 11:30, Room 121 TA: Huy D. Vu ABSTRACT – Transformation is the uptake of naked DNA in the environment by a recipient bacterium. The purpose of this experiment is to perform genetic transformations of E. Coli bacteria using plasmid DNA in forming resistance to Ampicillin. Escherichia coli is a bacterium is found in the human colon and in many areas of the environment. The Foreign DNA used in this experiment contains the gene AmpR, which makes the transformed bacteria Ampicillin resistant. The plasmid also contains a gene for GFP, which would allow the bacteria to glow under UV light. The hypothesis in this lab states that if the E. Coli cell is accompanied by the pGLO plasmid, the cell will grow in environment containing Ampicillin, but if only containing Ampicillin without the plasmid growth would be inhibited. The other part of the hypothesis explains that in an environment containing Ampicillin, Arabinose, and the plasmid, the bacteria would both grow and glow. At the end of the experiment, the results proved that E. Coli could be transformed using foreign plasmid DNA to form Ampicillin resistance. INTORDUCTION Genetic Engineering is important in several fields of biotechnology and is bigger than ever in improving human insulin. There are many examples today on the use of genetic engineering and biotechnology. First and...

...Meghan Corvington February 29. 2016 EC492 Forecasting Prof. Orlowski PROBLEM SET #1 (Due date: February 29, 2016) Use the quarterly data base from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis FRED provided to you in the EViews program to answer the following questions: 1. Choose the real US export of goods and services (REXPGS), real import of goods and services (RIMPGS) and disposable personal income (DPI) variables. View their descriptive statistics. Analyze skewness, kurtosis and volatility (measured by the coefficient of variation) of each of them. Discuss possible economic factors underlying the data asymmetry, kurtosis and relative volatility. In this example, all three variables are left skewed, while kurtosis is between 1.99 and 2.29 for each of the three variables. I measured volatility based on the standard deviation of the three variables. DPI is extremely volatile, while RIMPGS and REXPGS are not as volatile as DPI. It seems as if there is a strong correlation between the amounts of standard deviations compared to the kurtosis. There is a lack of asymmetry between the three variables, as there is no equivalence in various measurements. | |REXPGS |RIMPGS |DPI | | Mean | 747.1115 | 962.0551 | 4682.076 | | Median | 447.5000 | 636.0000 | 3400.400...

...discussed by our team include the following: The steps in testing a research hypothesis * Comparing the means of two or more groups * Calculating the correlation between two variables * * Along with discussing the aforementioned topics, we were also given the task of highlighting both the aspects that were most understood and the most problematic issues contained within the three subjects. This body of work should serve as a summary of those highlighted parts discussed. * As stated earlier, the first topic we discussed was the steps in testing a research hypothesis. Everyone in Team C seemed to have a firm grasp of this concept. We broke down all the essential steps of testing a hypothesis and discussed them thoroughly. Beginning with the forming of a research question (or research hypothesis) and ending with the conclusion of your study and how to summarize your research. We did, however, spend a significant amount of time discussing the concept of the observed significance level (OSL), otherwise known as the P-Value. After much discussion and, we came to a general consensus that lower P-values are usually a strong indication not in favor of the null hypothesis. This hint helped our group to fully understand how p-values can be found and interpreted. Out of all the topics discussed, this one can be easily applied to everyday work.

...Brittney Guzman Anthony Spencer Tifuh, Nkweti Emmanuel Duodu, Amanda Boiter Microbial Growth on Lunchmeat Increases Over Time at Room Temperature Abstract Lunchmeat is a perfect medium for the rapid growth of microbes because it is high in moisture. How long can zip locked lunchmeat be left out before it becomes unsafe for consumption? In order to test the safety of lunchmeat being left out of refrigeration, an experiment was conducted over a three-day period. All turkey samples were in a zip locked bag, the 24 and 72 hour samples were left out at room temperature; the control remained refrigerated. All samples were inoculated into agar deeps, then into petri dishes to create a series of dilutions. We observed growth on all three Petri Dishes with the control having the least and 72-hour containing the most. This shows that although the turkey meat was sealed, microbial growth increases over time while left out at room temperature. This is important to maintain and know the safety of ingestion of lunchmeat after 24-72 hours. Introduction “Refrigerated storage is now one of the most widely practiced methods of controlling microbial growth in perishable foods. As a result of this practice, refrigerated storage of perishable foods has been shown to be a potential risk factor for the development of microbial hazards leading to foodborne illness”(Simon). Food poisoning is very common and in order to avoid this illness certain precautions need to be maintained to prevent this. Refrigeration...

...Lava in a Cup Lava in a Cup Student research project plan Ashlee J Aim: To demonstrate the effects of salt on oil by creating a ‘lava lamp’ in a cup. Hypothesis: if you add more salt to the cup it would make the oil work like a lava lamp. Equipment: * Clear glass * ¼ cup vegetable oil * 1 teaspoon salt * Water * Food coloring [any color] Method: 1 - Fill the glass about ¾ full of water 2 - Add about 5 drops of food coloring 3 - Slowly pour the vegetable oil into the glass, see how the oil floats on top 4 - Sprinkle the salt on top of the oil 5 - Watch blobs of lava move up and down in your glass 6 - Add another teaspoon of salt to keep the affect going Variables: * Independent - if you pour salt into a cup, lava will start forming. * Dependent - once the salt got poured in the cup blobs started forming. * Controlled - the amount of salt that was poured in the water/oil. Result: ADD PHOTOS!!!! Oil | The oil floats on top of the water because it is lighter than the water | Salt | Since the salt is heavier than oil, it sinks down into the water and takes some oil with it, but then the salt dissolves and back up goes the oil. | Conclusion: What happened was when you poured the salt into the oil; it presses the oil down and forms blobs so eventually making it look like lava in a cup.

Presumptions in science are unjustifiable and Karl Popper’s method of hypothetico-deductivism is logical. Alan Chalmers’ scientific reasoning is inductive and he believes scientific method produces reliable knowledge through the application of inductive reasoning (SCIE1000 Lectures Notes (2015), p. 188).
