Essays on Testing

Cell culture is an in-vitro technique of cultivating cells under controlled conditions and in sterile conditions. The technique was first developed by Ross Harrison in 1907. During the process of cell culture, the cells are detached from their tissue of origin and segregated from each other, either by mechanical or enzymatic means. The detached cells are then transferred before culturing them in cell culture plate or flask. The first generation of producing cell through this method is called primary cell culture. The cells from the primary culture are transferred to a new culture plate with a fresh medium to ...

Abstract

The ecological settings in an ecosystem change from time to time. The changes in the ecological settings are brought about by a plethora of factors. Through evolution, the organisms that live in the ecosystem also change to adapt to the aforementioned ecological changes. The adaptation of the organisms to the ecological changes yields variations because different organisms and even organisms of the same species are exposed to the elements to different levels. Man has a significant role to play in the ecological changes. Through his economic activities, the effect on ecosystems has been both positive and negative. Urbanization as ...

Abstract

The most crucial goal that has been targeted in all research studies in the past few years has been toward prevention of problems. The scientific method is a stringent and proven procedure, which can be used to determine the most probable evidence to back up an environmental phenomenon. The proposition is usually made in a cause-and-effect phenomenon. Such a proposition is known as a ‘hypothesis’. The method used for testing the hypothesis is termed ‘experimentation’. This procedure is comprised of five elementary and significant steps. The most salient aspect that renders the scientific methods most popular is the fact ...

Statistical hypothesis testing is a very important concept in statistics. There are steps to be followed in hypothesis testing, as shown below (Eberly College of Science, n.d.) Formulation of the Null Hypothesis – this step involves stating of the null hypothesis, which states equality between the hypothesized value and a predicted value. In this case, it is the opposite of the alternative hypothesis.

H0: The average salary for all jobs in Minnesota is greater than or equal to $65,000.

H0: x ≥$65,000 Formulation of the Alternative Hypothesis –the alternative hypothesis is the opposite of the null hypothesis, which states that a value is less than, greater than, or not equal to a certain value. This ...

The scientific research process can be term as research studies that require not only observable but also empirical evidence collected over a duration of time and consists points that are aimed at supporting a hypothesis. The hypothesis often surround a phenomena that are descriptive in nature through what can be regarded as independent experimental testing. On the other hand, intelligence research processes are activities that involve collecting, evaluating, conducting an analysis, as well as extracting information from a variety of sources for investigations at both the national and international levels involving topics such as terrorist activities and arson rings ...

OVERVIEW

In the terminology of the WHO, AIDS is a viral disease that prevents the body to fight against infections and cancer ("HIV/AIDS", 2016). AIDS infected people are easily affected a large number of unusual and life-threatening diseases. These diseases are often treatable; however, successful treatment based on immune deficiency is caused by a virus there. The causative agent of AIDS is HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). The name was adopted in 1986 as a term to describe the virus that causes AIDS. This allows the name itself to distinguish AIDS from other retroviruses and evidence offline. This virus was known ...

In the face of modern science, researchers are facing a problem of the level to which the humanity of their approaches must extend. When it comes to solving ethical dilemmas, the vast majority of them tends to be concentrated on value placed on lives of humans as opposed to the value placed on lives of animals. There is a distinct separation between those who believe that animal drug testing should be banned, those who believe that it is often the main way of estimating the safety of drugs used, and those who choose to fall in-between and prefer finding ...

The definition and summary of what is and should be allowed for when it comes to animals and their confinement and purpose is up for debate. There are people that feel that any treatment of animals is all well and good due to their lesser status as compared to humans. There are others that suggest that animals should have as many rights as humans and that they should be given equal status. Of course, the more reasonable answer is somewhere in between those two extremes given that non-human animals are clearly not on the same level as humans. At ...

The use of animals for scientific research causes numerous debates because of animal suffering, discomfort and importance of the experiment. Researches with animals are provided under controlled conditions, such animals are adapted to the laboratory life (Swart, 2004, 183). The key idea is that such experiments are provided to improve medical progress. From the other side, the use of people for experiments is strongly prohibited, therefore, a limited number of species are used because they have biological and pathological similarity with people. Sufferings in animal experimentation are as low as possible (Swart, 2004, 186). From the other side, animals ...

Chapter 3: Methodology

3.0 Introduction The theory of purchasing power parity is essential for the study of international trade since it argues that there exist a relationship between prices of products and exchange rates. This theory provides a framework for assessing long-term changes in the exchange rates. It states that similar goods and services in various countries should have the same cost in the long-run (Frankel 153). Essentially, the PPP theory is based on the assertion that the exchange rates tend to adjust themselves in such a way that there no opportunity costs for buying particular goods or services in a particular ...
