These non-animal methods replace those archaic animal tests, and take less time to complete. It' shocking that individuals are not informed that non-animal experimentation methods are applicable to human life. The physiological chip is an amazing invention that contains cell compartments that are eligible to test the effects of drugs. Barnard (2007) describes the ability of the chip to “mimic the complex functions of the human body” (p.19). If a simple chip has the power to mimic the functions of the human body, then it is a huge resource to research.
(Page 7 ch1) One contribution is the journal he has written is about the improved methods of scientific crime detection and this still reports today. The second contribution is his treatise written about scientific disciplines in the field of criminal investigations. (Page 8 ch 1) Karl Landsteiner figured out how to divide blood into groups and today there are four different groups A,B,AB,O. Then Leone Lattes takes this information and puts it to work with figuring out the types of blood with dried blood. (pg10 ch1) The first person to apply the principals of forensic science was Edmond Locard, he began in the attic of the Lyons police department.
The team was selected to study extraterrestrial organisms. The people who made up this team were: Dr. Jeremy Stone, bacteriologist specialist; Dr. Peter Leavitt, disease pathology; Dr. Charles Burton, infection vectors specialist; and Dr. Mark Hall, M.D., surgeon, biochemistry and pH specialist. Out of all the members, Dr. Mark Hall was the only one who was not married. After activating Wildfire, the military goes back to piedmont in hope to find clues as to what happened. While there they come across an elderly man named Peter Jackson and an infant named Jamie Ritter.
This is when a chemical reaction inside a living organism produces light. When he was studying glowing jellyfish in the early 1960’s he decided to isolate bioluminescent protein, which produced blue light. The funny thing about this is that even though the protein gave off blue light the actual jellyfish had a green glow to it. During further study it was discovered that although the blue light produced by the protein was absorbed by another protein within the jellyfish, the protein re-emitted green light. Therefore it was later named green florescent protein or GFP.
The group that got question with the verb ‘smashed’ stated they saw glass even though there wasn’t any. This again suggests that leading questions can alter the memory stored. Both of the studies were done in a lab which meant they could control extraneous variables such as the video being the same, the participants were all the same distance from the video and the way the question was phrased were the same apart from the verb. This allows the researchers see that the verb was the reason why the participant’s answers varied. However, this experiment lacks ecological validity as it’s done in a lab and so doesn’t have the same effect on people as if it were to happen in real-life.
Explain why the work of Robert Koch was so Important? (7 Marks) Koch discovered and developed what Pasteur did not. Using Germ theory, he discovered the germ that caused Anthrax, a disease that affected animals as well as people. This was a phenomenal breakthrough as this was the first time that a specific germ had been identified, this then 100% proved Pasteur’s theory, which then left a wide door open for many more scientists to investigate and discover other specific bacterial germs that were damaging to the human body. The reason this makes Koch so important is because if he hadn’t investigated Anthrax using Pasteur’s theory, the germ theory may never have caught on leaving people to believe false theories for much longer.
The memory is said to be like a photo due to its unchanging nature and high levels of accuracy. The key ingredient to flashbulb memories is a high level of emotional arousal at the time the event was committed to memory. Evidence to support the idea of flashbulb memory comes from Brown and Kulik themselves. They looked at flashbulb memories of the assassination of Martin Luther King. Findings showed that 75~% of black Americans had flashbulb memories of the event compared to only 33% of white Americans.
There is so much unknown from the location that it makes it easy to still make things up about the location, there are facts about why things happen the way they do but not all aspects are known or believed. 9. I believe I would tell a few people but I would also like to keep it relatively secret because I could make it my own domain and not have to deal with many people and no one could ruin the beauty of it all. 10. The negatives of urban legends can be used to scare others away from certain areas for selfish
The researchers used a compound which prevented those defense mechanisms kicking in and in turn halted neurodegeneration. Continue reading the main story Analysis Human brain It is rare to get cautious scientists keen to describe a study in mice as a turning point in treating Alzheimer's. It is early science, a lot can go wrong between a drug for mice and a drug for humans and the only published data is for prion disease, not even Alzheimer's. So why the excitement? It is the first time that any form of neurodegeneration has been completely halted, so it is a significant landmark.
So by using case studies it is impossible to generate general laws and principles as only one persons behaviour is examined and can’t be generalised. But using laboratory experiments of large samples of people can generate general laws for behaviour.
