Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was shown to be an accurate and reliable scale for pain measurement. The statistical findings of this scale were as follows: Intra- and inter-rater reliability (ICC: 0.69-0.91; 0.55-0.97) and criterion validity (p: 0.81-0.94) Pain expression. (McCall, DeCristofaro, & Elliott, 2013). When these scales were utilized they were shown to be effective and demonstrated significant reduction in measurements when sucrose was utilized. In the studies that did not use these formal

assembled, the next step is to carefully mass each piece of equipment provided by the equipment supplier; this includes the flask, graduated cylinder, pipet, and beaker. Place the flask on the digital scale and record the mass in a notepad. Be sure to clear out the measurement displayed on the scale after removing the flask from the balance. Repeat this process using the graduated cylinder, pipet, and beaker by interchanging the flask for the new piece of measuring equipment. The third step is

Sources of Error: 1) Select this If measurements are used, Most measurements require you to estimate one significant figure. This estimation is frequently different if done repeatedly, especially if done by different people, and introduces "random error". Systematic error will come from an error in your measuring apparatus. Maybe your vernier is not zeroed. Maybe the diffraction grating is cheap and the lines/cm is not accurate, etc.So every measurement will be in error because of inaccurate

DQ 1 How would you define research? What is the purpose of business research? How has the Internet changed the quality and quantity of research? Kapil C. Mathur, MBA Research can be defined as the search for knowledge, or as any systematic investigation, with an open mind, to establish novel facts, solve new or existing problems, prove new ideas, or develop new theories. Research can be divided into different steps in order to understand the whole process more in depth. The first step towards

Laboratory Techniques and Measurements Purpose: To become familiar with common laboratory equipment and to become proficient in measuring volume, mass, length, temperature, density, and concentrations. Procedure: Length Measurements were determined using a metric ruler and measuring to the nearest mm. Temperature Measurements of boiling and ice water were measured using a thermometer and measuring to the nearest degree. Mass was measured using a digital scale in grams. Volume and density
