PART 1 The table shows predictions and results from Milgram’s original obedience to authority study and results from two variations of the study. Both the psychiatrists and the college students predicted that 0% of the ‘teachers’ would administer electric shocks to the ‘learners’ at maximum voltage. However, the psychiatrists predicted that the ‘teachers’ would refuse to continue administering shocks at a lower average level (123V) than the students predicted (140V). The predictions made were inaccurate, as the average level of shock at which the ‘teachers’ actually refused to continue was 368V and 65% used maximum voltage. In Variation One of the experiment, the results of the average level of shock at which the ‘teachers’ refused to continue (244V) and the percentage of ‘teachers’ who used maximum voltage (20%) were lower than the results of the Original Study.
In the article “No Sympathy” was a quote by Prime Minister David Tusk stated two years before as he replied to a human rights group as said “I do not believe that we can call these individuals -- these creatures -- human beings," he added. "So in this case, we don't need to discuss human rights." At the end of the day the important question to ask is this. Is castration about punishment of offenders or public safety? Dr. Keith Albow gave his analysis on Fox News.com in the article “chemical castration” his article conveniently contains info discussing of a scientific study that found that offenders on Depo-Provera re-offended less than 1 percent in comparison to 68 whom were not taking the drug.
Students at the University of Georgia have taken it upon them to test this rumor and see if carb-cutter really stops the breakdown of starch to helps weight loss. Biology 1103 Lab students used a fairly simple experiment containing two solutions. The first solution contained carb-cutter and the controlled solution did not contain any carb-cutter. Amylase, starch, I2KI, and TRIS were also added. With these solutions, the students were able to test whether not the amylase continues to break down starch with the presence of the carb cutter.
Online Chemistry Laboratory 2 Techniques and Measurements Introduction: This is the first lab in the lab manual, pages 14-48. Read through the introduction in the lab manual up to page 28. You may skip the section “Amount of Substance and Concentration” that starts at the bottom of page 28 (we do not discuss concentration until Chapter 9). Procedure: Complete exercises 1 and 2, pages 31-36. Use the report pages below to record your data.

In the start of the lab, the students had to wear ballistic eye protection (goggles). A ball was diameter was taken of the ball (in cm).
K.J’s perception of his health is fair. He does not exercise on a regular basis. Resident follows prescribed regimen. While resident is at rehab he uses 2 ½ side rails for mobility and independence. NUTRITIONAL-METABOLIC K.J’s weight is currently 212 and his height is 6 ft .He is on a regular lo salt diet.
This can range from a General Practitioner to a local walk in centre. It is directly accessible and requires no referral. A GP will make necessary referral to more specialist services, depending upon the GP initial diagnosis or for further assessment of the patient’s symptoms. GP’s can also signpost their patients to support networks. Examples of these networks are counselling services, support groups and self-help groups who can provide the patients with their expert knowledge, support and advice on the presenting diagnosis, however it is apparent that not all patient’s with long term illnesses will access the support offered to them as the patient may believe that they are not required or that the patient
TMA01: Summarising and interpreting a table Average Level of shock at which 'teachers' refused to continue (Volts) Percentage of 'teachers' using maximum voltage Predictions made by: Psychiatrists 123 0 College students 140 0 Experimental Results: Original study 368 65 Ordinary man gives orders 224 20 Two experimenters give contradictory instructions 75 0 Adapted from Milgram, S (1974) Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View, London, Tavistock. The above table shows the average level of shock administered and the percentage of ‘teachers’ that used the maximum voltage, including the predictions made and eventual results. Most notably is the discrepancy between the predictions made and the experimental results. Psychiatrists predicted that the average shock at which the participant would refuse would be 123 volts, the results showed that this figure was actually 368 volts, more than twice what was predicted.

When talking about the Exxon Valdez oil spill and the Challenger accident, Dement assumes people did not have any interest in the fact that sleep deprivation was the cause of the accident, when he later mentioned that this cause was acknowledged in the final report (Dement 499). Dement continues his paper and states “my guess is,” when talking about the fact that sleep debt can be repaid. There is no information that backs up the prior statement, making this Dement’s assumption (Dement 501). “It is safer to assume;” this is how Dement presents the idea that sleep should be made up for one hour at a time, there is not any study to back him up (Dement 501). Assuming everyone has sleep debt, Dement tells the audience that it will take time to recollect the lost hours of sleep (Dement 502).
Cloud begins his thesis by presenting something very surprising about the relationship between exercise and losing weight, because according to professor of diabetes and metabolism, Eric Ravussin at Louisiana State University, “In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless.” Cloud establishes his thesis, based on evidence provided by controlled clinical trials that represent the gold standard of respectable medical science. These trials are usually published in peer-reviewed journals after proper analysis and commentary, by several fellow scientists to determine the rigor of science, and the absence of experimental mistakes. In a number of published studies, exercise did not lead to weight loss. One of the studies cited, is according to Cloud “a remarkable study” where the effects of exercise in 464 overweight women were examined. The results were “surprising” since on average, every single woman in the different groups lost weight, but most surprisingly women in the exercise groups did not lose statistically significant more weight than the no exercise control group.
