However, there is a difference in other programs where heavy machinery that make loud noises are operated. Trades such as automotive, woodshop, cosmetology, and carpentry are the most hazardous programs. There is more life threatening injuries and illness concerns in industrial course labs than health science class lab. A student loss his finger in a carpentry lab and another student was killed in a woodshop educational lab, after his hair got caught in the rotating axis (Henderson, Rosenfield, & Serna, 2011). In an automotive class, students demonstrate how to safely work with fumes, power tools, floor jacks, gasoline, and engines, just to name a few. To reduce and eliminate accidents in the classroom lab is the primary
When the pH is not at its optimum, the differing pH's will disrupt the bonding between the R groups of the amino acid causing its structure and the shape of the activation site to change
The mole is a convenient unit for analyzing chemical reactions. Avogadro’s number is equal to the mole. The mass of a mole of any compound or element is the mass in grams that corresponds to the molecular formula, also known as the atomic mass. In this experiment, you will observe the reaction of iron nails with a solution of copper (II) chloride and determine the number of moles involved in the reaction. You will determine the number of moles of copper produced in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the number of moles of iron used up in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and determine the number of atoms and formula units involved in
The survey identified hazards to emanate from the following areas. The paint shop where chemical exposures were high as a result of the fumes generated when painting cars. It was identified that paint fumes are very toxic and could result in chronic medical conditions when employees are not well protected. The body shop was the second area that was identified for hazards. There were numerous machinery and many tools of work that were heavy, sharp, and dangerous. Especially the vehicle lifts, car rampsand, and other socialized tools. These presented possible injuries resulting from collusions and falling objects. The body workshop was a
In this lab report three vehicles are compared based on total fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and the approximate number of trees required to offset these emissions for a trip from Halifax to Vancouver. The three vehicles are a Bluesky model E-1010 aircraft, a generic four- passenger sedan car, and a generic 7- passenger van. The objective of this lab is to determine which vehicle has the most positive impact on the environment.
Data were collected in September and November 2017 at the Elk Valley Preserve and Field Station in Banner Elk, NC. The preserve is located at 36°10'17.2"N 81°54'45.9"W, in Avery County in western North Carolina. The area is a mixed deciduous forest at an altitude of 1,127 m above sea level. Data were collected in early fall, during which temperatures average around 10-18 degrees Celsius. Summers in Banner Elk are typically mild, with temperatures averaging 21 degrees Celsius, and winters are cold and snowy, averaging near zero degrees Celsius. During the months of September and November there is an overall average precipitation of 12-25cm.
The date is Friday, October 25th 9129, Robert Feigel has a English test today. He stayed up late last night studying the Criteria,the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. He just started his first year of Highschool at Greensboro High School in North Carolina. Hes determined to have stellar grades this year, it will not be hard for him, being an Honors Student all throughout grade school. His Father, William Feigel pushes him very hard to do well in school. He has a job as a banker, and wants an even better future for his son. His Mother, Mary Fiegel does not have a job, but instead stays at home and cares for her Mother, who is sick and living with them.
Problem Statement: Some people were wondering what the velocity of a car launched down a ramp is and where it would land. The purpose of this is to compare the predicted values and experimental values found during the lab. Prediction: To find the velocity of the car and the distance in the x-direction it traveled; formulas must first be derived to find each unknown quantity. To find velocity, energy concept equations were used.
In this paper, the author want to know whether human genetic patents affect subsequent scientific research and product development. They use the administrative data on successful and unsuccessful patent applications filed with the USPTO and then link the exact gene sequences required for each application with subsequent scientific research and business investment data. By using these data, they found patented genes have more valuable prior to being patented than non-patented genes. They used two quasi-experimental approaches to text their hypothesis. In the end, they found both of the approaches suggest that on average gene patents have had no effect on follow-on innovation. “This evidence of selection motivates two
Working on a farm or in a factory has both similarities and differences, but moving from a rural to a city job could be quite difficult. Farm and factory jobs are similar because they are dangerous and require intense physical labor. Both the farm and factory jobs have daily hazards. In 2009, farming continues to be the most dangerous job in the United States, due to the constant risk of animal stampedes or agricultural machinery accidents. In factories, like Grede Foundries, ear and eye protection against deafening crashes and flying sparks is required, as well as having all skin covered to prevent from hot metal burns. However, the most noticeable similarity is the amount of physical labor needed in both Wauwatosa and Elkhorn workplaces
Methods: Due to experimental error in previous labs, we did not obtain the DNA of our original taxa. We then chose to use DNA sequences supplied by the TA from the 2016 and 2017 school year. We picked six fungal taxa obtained from differing parts of English Yew Trees, including its fruit, bark, and leaves. Using the DNA sequences given, we copied the sequence into the BLAST system found on blast.ncbi.gov, making sure to add “fungi” into the organism box and to search for somewhat similar sequences. Once the program obtained the results, we scrolled down to the first result that gave a genus and species name, with an “ITS” in the description. Using the information given in the results, we filled in the information on Table 2, including seq
There is mandatory safety training for biomedical engineers that must be taken yearly. Anyone working in an experimental lab in biomedical engineering must complete the Laboratory Safety Program offered by EHS(Environmental Health and Safety). Refresher training must be completed annually by taking the Laboratory Safety Refresher course available at EHS. Courses that may be required for biomedical engineering lab use (if applicable) may include “Chemical and Hazardous Waste Handling (Initial / Refresher)”, “Right-to-Know”, and “Autoclave Safety”. Other required courses are “Bloodborne Pathogen”, “General Laser Safety Training”, and “Hazardous Materials Shipping and Receiving”.
While working I am having three main objectives to learn and master. My first objective being learning about job specific personal protective equipment hazards analysis for the shop and field locations. I have learned that this is used to describe how to perform a task step-by-step, any hazards associated with a task, and controls to lessen these hazards. Which in the shop I have noticed they have grinders which cause huge amount of noise in the shop. Wearing proper personal protective equipment such as ear plug are important and needed when in the shop. Also while conducting a job specific personal protective equipment hazard analysis I have notice as well that flying debris is a huge in the shop and at field locations so wearing proper safety
My parents always talk about how I was a really mean kid. I think the reason for this was because I really didn’t care how others felt. As I grew older I developed empathy. I can look back on my life and see a correlation with the amount of reading I completed, and the the expansion of my empathy. Empathy is important because it helps you connect with people, and it helps you understand people’s motives. As a teacher knowing these things helps because I interact with people everyday in both my personal and professional life.
I think that the biggest cause for injury would be people not listening to directions and messing around while doing experiments. Most people like to be told what to do instead of having to read directions for themselves, so this would be a major problem for some people.
Two weeks ago, I was reading about corporal punishment while eating a candy bar. It struck me that while teenagers , like us, are against getting spanked or slapped across the cheek, there is another side of reasoning of whether parents should be allowed to use physical punishments on their children. I realized that sweets are a lot like the parental decision to hit a child. Sugar and punishment may be two very different society issues, yet I found that I could take a peek into the perspective of an adult through sugar. Therefore, whenever my presentation on corporal punishment dries out in your mind, think about how sugar and spanks are alike. Corporal punishment between a parent and a child, is a growing dispute between beliefs, researchers and statistics, shown by Harold Grasmick’s Protestant Fundamentalism article. In the United Nations “Declaration of the Rights of the Child,” it is firmly stated that,”...he[the child] may have a happy childhood and enjoy for his own good and for the good of society...”(196). As long as a child has not violated the law, parents should not have the right to impose corporal punishment their children due to the long-term physical and psychological effects.
