Testing the Effects of Disaster Frequency on Moth's Genotypes
Weather alters life. Modern day man has been both purposely and accidentally altering the basic weather patterns and physiology of our planet by producing pollution, killing or altering natural resources, deforestation, and of course global warming. For example, industrial smog has been discovered everywhere over the oceans which may be creating distorted weather patterns that some climatologists have called 'climate death.' We do not yet fully understand if clearing forests will cause tornadoes or more rainy seasons somewhere on the planet. But, I do know that if the weather was to have an increase in events such as increased rainy or stormy cycles with increases in the tornado occurrences, natural life would be affected.
The reason I know is because of a series of experiments I conducted that assessed the damage increased levels of bad weather would have on moth genotypes. The true purpose of the experiments was to study characteristics that could lead to the extinction of particular moth genotypes or populations. As it turned out, weather patterns were a viable source that could lead to extinction. The key to these experiments is to understand that they are just predictions. "Imagine an ecologist trying to understand the ebb and flow of a particular population in a particular ecological niche. He might explain his efforts thus: "Here's an equation; here's a variable representing reproductive rate; here's a variable representing the natural death rate; here's a variable representing the additional death rate from starvation or predation; and look -- the population will rise at this rate until it reaches this level of equilibrium." (Albert)
Introduction
This report discusses the results of my biology experiments conducted on the Biology Online simulation Lab "Population Genetics Lab." The objective of this series of research was to answer if weather disasters...
Testing Ethical and Legal Issues Considering the responsibilities and rights of test takers and test users, discuss why it is important to have ethical and legal standards for testing. What knowledge, skills, and abilities are necessary for competent test use? What are the standards regarding confidentiality and privacy of test taker information, test scores, and test interpretation? What do you feel is the most important responsibility of a test user and why?
The employee's imperative is bound by the employee's desire to maintain employment. To the business, however, there is a competing imperative in that it must increase profits. For the cost of a test, the business can prevent a certain degree of losses. Thus, from the businesses perspective its imperative, if applied evenly and universally, would compel it to reject testing of its executives just as much as it would
Level 2: Beginning: Children can make use of simple phrases. Level 3: Developing: Children exhibit hesitant use of written and spoken academic and social English. Level 4: Expanding: Children show comfort with social English, while have difficulty with academic English. Level 5: Bridging: Children are capable of understanding both academic and social English with competency, although with some difficulty (Law & Eckes 2007, p.47). The question of whether an incoming
Testing Hypothesis The first step to testing a research topic is conducting a literature review to determine what has been researched, any gaps, or any inefficiencies in the research studies. The literature review aids in determining appropriate hypothesis, variables that need to be studied, and appropriate research study methods and designs. Depending on the research methodology and designs as well as the goals of the researcher, appropriate confidence intervals can be
Testing Describe one ethical issue surrounding the Uniform Care Requirement, which requires that all participants of clinical research across the world should receive the same treatment that they would in a Developed country. The Uniform Care Requirement has been proposed as a "minimum ethical standard" but profit-driven researchers claim it may conflict with other ethical standards in making HIV / AIDS medications available to more people in the developing world (Killen, Grady,
This type of research suggests that there is a correlation between general intelligence (g) and physiological factors such as development stability and general physical fitness. One might develop the research question further by investigating whether intelligence can be manipulated by means of increasing actual physical fitness levels by means of exercise, for example. Since it has long been an accepted fact that the body and mind function as a mutually
