...The scientific method is used in order to prove or disprove something by following steps, and performing experiments. There are five steps to the scientific method this include: observation, questioning, hypothesis, testing, and explanation. All of these steps together will allow a person to get to and answer on what it is they are researching. The scientific method can be used not only in science, but in everyday life. One can use this while making a new food or building a new car. It can also be used in the workplace as way to figure out how well that a new product will do out in the market. When using the scientific method the hypothesis that one comes up with must be accepted or rejected in the end after all steps have been completed. This will allow the person performing the tests to know if they need to do more research and experimenting, or if they have the right answer to the questions they are answering. The hypothesis in this method have the potential to make a long standing theory that many people can use and believe in for mnay years to come. (Barrow, 1991)(Kuhn, 1952) The experiment that was conducted on the scientific methods website proved that my prediction that the flower grew towards the window due to the fact the flower needed the light for energy true. I first observed that in the readings above my experiment that the flower grew towards the window, and I knew that it was because the flower needed the light. I then came up with the hypothesis that the...

...It could be argued that current physics research could be divided into three areas - theoretical, experimental and computational. Numerical approach, in which systems are mimicked as accurately as possible using a computer or in which computer models are set up to provide well - behaved experimental systems are increasingly providing a bridge between theory and experiment, for instance; the Monte Carlo method (MC) and the molecular-dynamics method (MD). In Monte Carlo method the exact dynamical behavior of a system is replaced by a stochastic process, whereas the MD methods are based on a simpler principle and consists of solving a system of Newton's equations for an N-body system. Stochastic simulation is some times called MC simulation (simulation is a numerical technique for conducting experiment on a digital computer, which involves certain types of mathematical and logical models that describe the behavior of the system over extended period of real time). The generally accepted birth date of the MC method is 1949, when an article entitled "The Monte Carlo Method" appeared, the American mathematicians J.Neyman and S.Ulam are considered to be its originator. The first successful application of this method to a problem of statistical thermodynamics dates back only to 1953, when Metropolis and co-workers studied "fluid" consisting of hard disks. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, statistical problems were sometimes solved with the help of random selections, that...

...Marriott Corporation: The Cost of Capital The risk premium will differ across all divisions, because this is the market (all assets) return versus the respective risk free rates for each division. In computing the risk premium, we should use the arithmetic returns for both the T-bills and market return for the period of 1927-1987. We are using the arithmetic average because the geometric average tends to underestimate the expected return. A reason for favouring the arithmetic mean is given in Kolbe et. al. (1984): Note that the arithmetic mean, not the geometric mean, is the relevant value for this purpose. The quantity desired is the rate of return that investors expect over the next year for the random annual rate of return on the market. The arithmetic mean, or simple average, is the unbiased measure of the expected value of repeated observations of a random variable, not the geometric mean…the geometric mean underestimates the expected annual rate of return. Lodging We use a long period to calculate returns because we want to capture the effects of economic expansion and contraction. We select long term US Government Bond returns because we are focusing on a long term investment: Rf = 4.58% (page 10, Long-Term US Government Bond Returns, arithmetic average) Rm = 12.01% (page 10, S&P 500 Composite Stock Index Returns, arithmetic average) Risk premium: Rm - Rf = 12.01% - 4.58% = 7.43% As explained above, given that it is a long term project, the risk premium is 7...

...Crisis en la teoría y el método de las Relaciones Internacionales: debates metateóricos y antimétodos. El enfoque principal de las Relaciones Internacionales es observar y analizar lo que sucede en el entorno social. En un mundo globalizado como lo conocemos hoy, un mayor análisis es necesario para la observación y la comprehension del escenario internacional y de los comportamientos humanos considerando que las RRII se hacen gracias a humanos.. La complejidad de las ciencias sociales debido a que comprenden diferentes aspectos explica las dificultades de realizar una investigación y poder dar nuevos puntos de vista para una solución posible a los problemas que conocemos en las sociedades. Es necesario pues, empezar a estudiar sobre lo que se conoce de un problema, así mismo que para completar los estudios que se hayan hecho anteriormente y ver la repuesta al problema que se presente para poder abordarlos nuevamente. Las teorías son construidas a partir de que se obtiene un conocimiento tras la observación. Después de esto, las teorías brindan ideas que complementan a la comprensión de qué es lo que esta pasando alrededor, y luego, a través la práctica se explica el comportamiento de la situación para encontrar posibles soluciones Durante los estudios de los problemas, surgen diferentes opciones de cómo elegir un método que sea el mejor para estudiar al acontecimiento,.

...Student Name: Zulqarnain Aslam. Student ID: VSS31073 Activity 1: Ford and Taylorism At the beginning of 20th century, Frederick Winslow Taylor give a concept of Taylorism, which lead to an important breakthrough s in business practice. Taylor’s idea gave the concept of advance methods of mass production and structural organization. At the same time, a prominent businessman Henry Ford started implementing the scientific management theories in his automobile industry. Ford named his car from alphabet A to S. His most famous car was model T, whose production was started in 1908. By implementing principles of scientific management, Ford Motor Company successfully manufactured over 15 million models of T series between 1908-1927. Ford’s effort decreased the cost of production, which ultimately lead to low prices of car in market. This was very first attempt to apply scientific methods in engineering processes and in management. Henry Ford based his assembly line in three simple principles. a. Planned, Organized and Continuous progression of services through the shop b. Delivery of work. c. Scrutiny of operations in to their basic parts. This was totally Henry’s effort that leads to innovation of entirely new discipline, industrial engineering and scientific management. According to Taylor, factory management task was the best way for worker to do the job, by providing them proper tools and trainings, and incentives on outstanding performances. Taylor divided the work...

...serve justice and keep Gotham a safe place. In the movie "The Dark Knight", Bruce faced conflicts with an individual, a group, himself and reality. Bruce Wayne's nemesis as Batman is The Joker. The joker is the individual who Batman conflicts with most in this movie, The Dark Knight. The Joker targets the people of Gothem to reveal the identity of Batman. The joker's only concern throughout all his actions is only Batman. He is not afraid to kill or put people at risk for his purpose and will use any method or trickery to do so. Batman is a man of justice who can't watch it all happen before his eyes but he cannot reveal his identity as easily (relating to the conflict with himself). Joker threatened to kill many people and used many methos, for example, killing a man an hour until Batman is killed and blowing up a whole hospital. This individual uses Batman's weakness (his love interest) Rachel Dawes as part of his threats as he threatening her life but also tricked Batman into saving the wrong person and letting her die. The conflict is resolved when thhe Joker was finally taken into custody for good. Batman other nemesis is a group, the people of Gothem. Batman faces conflict with a group, the people of Gothem. The joker is threatening to kill people of Gothem if Batman doesn't reveal himself, so the people wants Batman to sacrifice himself to save everyone else. Obviously Batman cannot do that for various reasons and there are a lot of things holding him back. After...

...Research Proposal University of Phoenix Psych/610 Brandy 6/8/15 Introduction Statement of Problem The issue being examined has to do with active duty soldiers and their PTSD that they encountered while on active duty. The issue being examined also has to do with treatment during or after active duty. This is significant due to the effects of PTSD on soldiers and in order to determine if PTSD can be slowed before it reaches its peak or if soldiers should wait until they are no longer serving to seek treatment. According to Winter (2009), “Hotopf assessed a large probability sample of initial invasion troops from the UK with diverse roles in OIF 1-2 years post deployment and compared their PTSD rates with non-deployed troops. Using the PCL, they found relatively low and comparable rates of probable PTSD (4%). Subsets that subsequently deployed during the OIF insurgency war did not have higher rates. By contrast, PCL-based probable PTSD rates were appreciably lower among the non-deployed service member”. The reason behind recording this information is because it is crucial in determining whether or not soldiers should receive treatment for PTSD during or after active duty. There have been many tests done finding results of PTSD in active/non active duty soldiers. Those results rank higher when it comes to PTSD being much more of an issue for active duty servicemen. Therefore, making PTSD a point of interest when it comes to treating it promptly and not waiting until the...

A. Calculate your ecological footprint (EF), and indicate how many planets would be needed if all humans on earth had your footprint.
Answer: My ecological footprint is 30.40gha. If everyone one the planet live my lifestyle, we will need 1.93 Earths.
Figure 1. Ecological Footprint calculated with www.myfootprint.org.
B. Describe the principles and assumptions used in the metho.
Answer: The Ecological Footprint Quiz estimates the area of land and ocean required to support our consumption of food, goods, services, housing, and energy and assimilate our wastes. The ecological footprint is expressed in "global hectares" (gha) or "global acres" (ga), which are standardized units that take into account the differences in biological productivity of various ecosystems impacted by our consumption activities.
Our footprint is broken down into four consumption categories: carbon (home energy use and transportation), food, housing, and goods and services. Our footprint is also broken down into four ecosystem types or biomes: cropland, pastureland, forestland, and marine fisheries.
My life style currently is: a family of three living in a family house of around 200 square meter, own a car, healthy food diet, and once per year family trip.

Nongbri’s caution of placing too narrow of a range on palaeographical dates is well received and has been noted by others. But the general skepticism expressed by Nongbri over palaeographic dating methods appears unwarranted. Alternative dating methods give good reasons to have confidence in dates derived from palaeography. For example, radiocarbon dating confirmed the palaeographic dates for some of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
In conclusion, Nongbri’s appeal to the shape, original binding, and provenance of P66 fail to give a secure fourth century date for P66. His palaeographical methos is questionable and fails to take into account recent confirmations of an early third century date for P66. Until further evidence comes to light, there is no reason not to continue referring to P66 as an early third century codex.
