...Lab Report Lab report is one way we used during of after an experiment in a laboratory to subtly record and discuss the experiment. During a lab, we sometimes can observe only the physical part of the experiment, or may be some visible chemical changes. These changes indicate that the experiment we do is successful or not. However, in order to understand and achieve more from just simply doing the experiment, we write lab report to more profoundly understand the internal meanings of the experiment we do, and the eventual purpose of the lab. Doing a lab report are also essential to making corrections for further experiments similar to previously done ones. Pass experiences can help improve and better the new lab in many ways such as the procedure. We can make the procedure clearer and more precise. By doing so, we can do our best to limit the possibility of ingredients that may alternate final results popping up during a lab. Without a precise data and purpose, a lab would not be a lab because it has no means of proving anything that we don’t know of. Too many alternating factors always cause a lab to be useless because we cannot focus on the specific thing we are looking at. Thus, a lab report is essential not just for the lab that the report is for, but essential for bettering future similar experiences. A lab report contains many different parts. One part of the lab report is the analysis of the experiment, which really stands most importantly to a lab. The analysis part...

Barrett (Nya) Prepared For: Mr. Bill Ebbesen Technical Reporting April 19, 2015 Executive Summary Purposes of the Report The purpose of this recommendation report is to identify the underlying causes of academic lab safety and give recommendations on how these safety issues can be resolved so that future accidents can be avoided. The topics discussed in this report will help to determine the appropriate course of actions that need to be taken to ensure that all students and staff whom conduct lab experiments do so with the upmost caution. There is a growing concern for the safety of both staff and students that does not seem to lower the risks that these people are being put in. The importance of proper training and education on lab safety can help to resolve future issues. Academic Lab Safety: Ensuring the Safety of Our Students This research conducted is to help improve the improper management of academic labs by providing safety education and encouraging the correct training on safety. If the requirements of lab safety training are being met, then staff and student safety can be reduce to a minimum.

...Psychology Laboratory at the Turn of the 20th Century Research Question or Problem The question is clearly stated, however this article is not posing the question as a problem to be solved. The purpose of the article was to explore the question of how the founding of the psychology laboratory shaped and individualized the field of psychology. Introduction The introduction shows the significance of the establishment of the research laboratory at the University of Leipzig (Benjamin, L. T. 2000.) Two sources are cited in this introduction. The creation of the laboratory paved the future for psychology, separating the field from previous associations with philosophy or spiritism (Benjamin, L.T. ) Methodology Benjamin L. T. (2000) does not indicate a study as such in his article but he does provide a table of data that was assembled from Garvey (1929) and Murray and Rowe (1979), documenting the year each university psychology laboratory was founded and who it was founded by. Because the nature of the article is to explain the history of the psychology laboratory, there is no definitive study to report of. However, the article does describe the research of Wundt and his "community of investigators" (as cited in Benjamin, L. T. 2000) in the first experimental psychology laboratory in 1879 which later became widely regarded as a milestone in the field's history....

...Alternative Ways to Animal Testing In the world today, science has seen its better days. Scientific methods developed and invented scientists have been used to demonstrate and explain almost everything in the world. Researchers studying biological issues have produced reports informing about the issues that surround us. For example, in tests that require human spacemen have been conducted using non-human animals for biological animal testing all over the world. Research has shown that about 100 million vertebrates are used for animal tests in the world every year; it has been reported that about 20 million rats were used within the United States for testing in 2001 (Hart, Wood, & Hart 35). This is alarming as far as animal protection issues are concerned. Animal rights organizations have however differed with these reports about the same issues raising havoc in matters of biological testing (Hunnicutt 65). This contradiction raises ethical issues in the field of scientific research requiring quick reconciliation of both groups to solve the problems of slowed critical medical researches; the Last Chance for Animals (LCA) and the Foundation for Biomedical Research (FBR) are an example of such differing research bodies. The Last Chance for Animals advocates for the abolition of the practise while FBR finds the practice legitimate and significant. This paper concentrates at the differing points of view of Last Chance for Animals and The Foundation for Biomedical Research...

...1.0: The importance of laboratory quality Laboratory quality can be defined as accuracy, reliability and timeliness of reported test results. The laboratory results must be as accurate as possible, all aspects of the laboratory operations must be reliable, and reporting must be timely in order to be useful in a clinical or public health setting. When making measurements, there is always some level of inaccuracy. The challenge is to reduce the level of inaccuracy as much as possible, given the limitations of our testing systems. An accuracy level of 99% may at first glance appear acceptable, but the resulting 1% error can become quite large in a system where many events occur, such as laboratory testing. Laboratories produce test results that are widely used in clinical and public health settings, and health outcomes depend on the accuracy of the testing and reporting. If inaccurate results are provided, the consequences can be very significant, including: 1.Unnecessary treatment 2.Treatment complications 3.Failure to provide the proper treatment 4.Delay in correct diagnosis 5.Additional and unnecessary diagnostic testing. 6. legal implications. These consequences result in increased cost in time and personnel effort, and often in poor patient outcomes. In order to achieve the highest level of accuracy and reliability, it is essential to perform all processes and procedures in the laboratory in the best possible way. The laboratory is a complex system, involving many...

...“borderless economy”. With the advent of the Internet, the role of information has dramatically changed the way people live and do business. As Naval points out in her paper, an immense reduction of time and space barriers among great nations is made possible through interconnectivity. She illustrated that such interconnections result to global transactions being done in the comfort zones of one’s home. This characteristic of the Information Age provides for accessibility to vast reservoirs of knowledge, which is power. 1 It is for this reason that all nations all over the world are adopting ICT-based solutions to address their information needs in this modern era of knowledge explosion. In the Philippines, the government anticipated the importance of Information Technology (IT) as early as the Ramos administration. Ramos in his speech at the First Information Technology and Telecommunications Education Congress outlined the National Information Technology Plan (NITP) of the government. He stressed that IT must be applied to the education sector as a means for national strengthening.2 In 1997, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) reported that the General Appropriations Act of the previous year provided some funds for the CHED-SUCs computerization program. Chairman Angel C. Alcala stated that majority of the fund was used to upgrade the computer capabilities of state-funded institutions. The biggest threat pointed out in the CHED computerization program was the readiness...

...viral infections to millions of people worldwide (Kovendan, et al., 2012). These vectors cause a major health hazard by transmitting vector-borne diseases especially in tropical countries. In a tropical country like the Philippines, dengue outbreaks have shown a very alarming number of cases. The National Epidemiology Center of the Philippines' Department of Health reports a total of 132,046 dengue cases from January to 13 October 2012. This is 24.92% higher compared to the same time period in 2011 (WHO, 2013). Of the total cases, 20.42% came from the National Capital Region (NCR), with highest contributors from Quezon City (7,754 cases), Manila (4,379 cases) and Caloocan City (2,967 cases). Next to NCR, Region III and Region IV-A registered the highest number of cases, which are 15.79% and 15.66% respectively, to the overall figure. These three areas, collectively characterized as highly urbanized and densely-populated, were consistently reported as the three most dengue endemic regions in the country over the past years (WHO, 2013). Mosquito control, in view of their medical importance, assumes global importance (Subramaniam, et al., 2012). In the context of ever increasing trend to use more powerful synthetic insecticides to achieve immediate results in the control of the said vector, an alarming increase in the vector’s physiological resistance, its increased toxicity to non-target organisms and high costs are noteworthy (WHO, 1981). Recently, stress is being laid on eco-friendly...

The author’s in the different articles claim the unrestricted conversation engaged in general population the needs and the definition of organization and development throughout corporate America. Some of the articles include how OD influences groups and individuals and different process that produce better results for an organization. Organizational development and change is devoted to research and development of theory on all forms of organization change. The field focuses on the processes and outcomes of organization change at the individual, group, and organizational levels using multiple methods and perspectives. , Well documented and convincingly argued, these articles supports my thesis that sympathetic representations of organization and how different levels of methods can produce different multitudes of outcomes. The diversity of theories and concepts taken from different disciplines often encourage compartmentalization of perspectives and gives us a better array of development in today’s society.
