...method of the Bradford Essay with the Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 dye, as a reagent. To identify the unknowns, first a colorimetric assay of both proteins with known concentrations is executed, and the data in plotted in two standard curves respectively. Finally, the unknown absorbance measurements are compared with the standard curves to find the absolute concentration, which is the most accurate measurement. Introduction Life as we know it is possible for the presence of the same elements repeatedly distributed throughout the matter that surrounds us in nature. These elements form molecules that in turn are the building blocks of every biological cell. Significantly, the information obtained from nature to understand life and evolution are the product of an applied scientific method, which has been improved by the invention and use of technology over time. Nowadays, Scientific are able to measure the components of specific samples precisely, but there are cases when limitations are present in their investigations. For example, that is the case of the measurement of proteins, which is not as easy as looking a sample through a microscope to be able to count how many proteins are present in the biological sample. Proteins are an...

...Linguistics & English Language (University of Edinburgh) 2013-2014 How to Write an Essay in Linguistics The following guidelines range from very general to very specific. They are also more specifically geared toward writing essays in sociolinguistics or empirical methods rather than other areas of linguistics, though many of the same general principles apply. It is to your benefit to try follow these guidelines from the start of your first draft; the closer you follow them, the easier it will be for your instructor to make useful comments on your drafts, focusing on content, rather than style; on linguistics, rather than writing ability. It will also save you a lot of time because there will probably be less restructuring needed between your first draft and your final draft. GENERAL STRUCTURE: 1. Tell us what you’re gonna tell us. 2. Tell us! 3. Tell us what you told us. At a very basic level, this is all you need to know. The main point here is that your paper is not a mystery novel; there should be no ‘big reveal’ at the end. Rather, you want to set up the reader’s expectations so that they know up front what you’re trying to argue and, while reading your paper, will see if they’re convinced by how you make your arguments. The first step roughly corresponds (to the first paragraph of) your introduction and the third step roughly corresponds to (the first paragraph of) your conclusion (remember that this is an art, not a science, and these are guidelines...

...Introduction This essay focuses on the hypothesis testing in order to provide sufficient statistic assistance to make decisions associated with location, how to promote, and the pricing strategy. To be more specific, there are many hypothesis testing methods used in the following essay, including one sample t-test, independent samples t-test, paired samples t-test, ANOVA and Chi-test to achieve those goals. How much are potential patrons willing to pay for the entrees? Is the $18 amount from the forecasting model correct? [pic] Graph 1: The frequency of the price of evening meal entrée item alone Based on the process of data screening, I personally believe that 60 data are logically inconsistent. 60 data relating to the price of evening meal entrée customers would like to pay amount to 999 dollars, which has a low possibility in reality. In this case, those data should not be included during analysis. In other words, I accept the null hypothesis and conclude that the average price of evening mean entrée is not significantly different from 18 dollars. Ho: μ=18 H1: μ≠ 18 |One-sample statistics | | |N |Mean |Std. Deviation |Std. Error Mean | |What would you expect an average evening meal entree |340 |$18.8353 |$9.82784 |$.53299 | |item alone...

...Unit 1 - Fundamentals of Statistics Kathtrina Brazell American InterContinental University October 12, 2014 Abstract The purpose of this essay is to examine two of the nine sections of data and include all data points listed in the column for the variable. All of these items will be used to combine into one comprehensive report. Introduction In this assignment I will one section of qualitative data (choose either Gender or Position) one section of quantitative data (choose either Intrinsic or Extrinsic) and provide data. In each section the data will be indentified and the reason for the selection will be stated. Charts and graphs will be provided. An explanation of the importance of charts and graphs will be stated. Chosen Variables The variables that I chose to analyze are gender for my qualitative variable and Intrinsic for my quantitative variable. Difference in variable types “Qualitative data are no numerical measurements of characteristics, such as hair color or the charge of electron. Quantitative data are numerical measurements like weight, height, and age. The two data types need to be handled differently because qualitative characteristics don't have clear mathematical relationships to one another.” (Elementary Statistics) Descriptive statistics: Qualitative variable |Position |Tenure |Job Satisfaction |Intrinsic | |1 |3 |4.9 |6.4 | |1 ...
