Reinhold Koehler, born in 1919 in Dortmund and died in 1970 in Siegen, was a German painter, printmaker, poet, and essayist, arguably one of the most interesting of the recently re-discovered artists. Self-taught as an artist, Koehler began to immerse himself in fine arts during the time of World War II, when he served as a soldier on the Eastern Front. There he executed his first watercolours, a technique which remained his favorite in the first period of his artistic activity, with nature, landscape and female nude as his leading subjects. Nevertheless, with the beginning of the new decade, Koehler began to experiment, boldly osciliating between techniques. Consequently, turning to abstraction, in 1954, the artist started to incorporate sand
The aim of this experiment was to observe the effect different concentrations of Dettol had on the growth of S. albus. The highest concentration of Dettol (100% - D) was predicted to be the most effective solution to kill and stop the growth of this particular bacteria. This can be justified as S. albus is gram-positive; easier bacteria to kill, developing resistance slower than a gram-negative. Therefore, the highest concentration of antibiotic should be – and was – the most successful in changing the pH levels, and killing S. albus. Through discussion and analysis of the results collected through the experiment, it can be concluded that there is higher chance of killing and the growth of this particular bacteria if 100% Dettol is used.
Branch Rickey recalls a memory of a black athlete named Charlie who was refused the same accommodations as his teammates. What was the significance of this memory to branch Rickey? (page 289)

Anselm Kiefer was a German artist who was born directly after World War II. The art that Kiefer created focused on a reconciliation with the shame and horror surrounding the holocaust, aimed aimed to redefine what it meant to be German in a “post-Nazi World (Smith).” The piece I studied is located at the MoMa in San Francisco and is entitled “Shulamite”. “Shulamite” is a historical painting of a Nazi Memorial Site, which Kiefer created it in 1983. In this painting, Kiefer transformed the architecture of a site which was meant to honor Nazi heroes into a memorial for their victims. Kiefer uses some very interesting aesthetic techniques to reflect the intense emotions of that time and to reflect the rage, grief, and shame that Germans felt in response to the Holocaust. His intention was to reconcile with the country’s dark past through memorializing the persecuted while painting the country as no longer representative of it’s dark past.
Levittown project was taken up in the U.S. after the end of Second World War, with the aim of providing mass housing facilities to people in the wake of increasing urbanization and problems of accommodating large population in limited urban area (Friedman. 1995). The first of Levittown apartments were constructed on Long Island, New York and they symbolized the modern trends of urbanization and housing developments (Clapson. 2003). This paper shall study the impact of Levittown project on trends of further urbanization and analyze the aesthetics of design and development involved in it.
During World War II, Nazi doctors did many types of experiments on the Jews at concentration camps. The German doctors performed experiments without permission in which the Jews suffered emotionally, physically, and many died. Eventually, the doctors who performed these experiments were prosecuted; however, many Jews suffered and died due to the type of experiments being conducted on them (Tyson).
The Philadelphia Experiment during World War II to believers is a highly technical experiment that took place in the Philadelphia Navy yard in 1943. This experiment was also called, Project Rainbow, and is said to consist of the U.S. Navy destroyer called the USS Eldridge being made invisible then teleported to Norfolk Docks four hundred miles away then teleported back. This theory also supports the idea that when the ship got back to Philadelphia there were fatal consequences for the crew on deck. This was in attempts to counteract German u-boats as they had a major advantage over U.S. warships the warships are slow and have large turning radius. A man by the name of Morris Ketchum Jessup received notes from Carlos Allende (Carl Allen) in a copy of Jessup’s book, The Case for the UFO. These notes outlined what Allende thought of Jessup’s ideas in the book, Allende actual disproved one idea, but this sparked Jessup’s attention. Soon Jessup moved on to researching Einstein's unified field theory, he published this research. Allende soon responded in a series letters to Jessup describing the Philadelphia Experiment in much detail. This lead Jessup to research further into this possibility, obtaining more and more information Jessup was very close to a breakthrough. While Jessup’s and Allende’s agreement has some backing, it is a far-out view that is hard to believe as there is evidence to rebuttal the points made. The other side of the story is backed by the United
In the square experiment jacoby Kelly, Daniel Magowan , and are the participants in this experiment. These students that are being tested are freshmen and sophomores who have not already taken psychology. In order to find each of these students we went to the study hall room and asked if anyone wanted to come for an experiment. When these students raised their hands to be in the experiment they were giving their informed consent. The independent variable is Mr. Scott and the dependent variable is where each student is looking because each person could be different. During the experiment we tested four Van Wert High School students that had to wait in the hallway. Hannah Mengerink told one person to go in at a time while
The so-called Philadelphia Experiment was an alleged experiment by US Navy occurs in 1943. Some claims that the experiment is to make the USS Eldridge invisible to the enemy. Unfortunately, what happened next is that the ship becomes invisible for ten seconds. It was speculated that the ship, including the crew, traveled to another timeline. Although this was refuted by the US Navy and claiming that this is just a hoax, many are still skeptical about it.
The Little Albert experiment has become a famous case study that has been discussed by a plethora of professionals in the psychology industry. In 1920, behaviorist John Watson and his assistant Rosalie Rayner began to conduct the first experiment that had been done with a child. Watson and Rayner chose Albert because they thought he was stable; he was accustomed to a hospital environment due to his mother’s career as a wet nurse, he was healthy and showed little emotion. Stability played a major factor in choosing Albert for this case study because Watson wanted to ensure that they would do as little harm as possible with the experiment. The conditioning of Albert began with a series of emotional tests that became part of a routine in which Watson and Rayner were “determining whether fear reactions could be called out by other stimuli than sharp noises and the sudden removal of support” (-----). Watson’s method of choice for this experiment was using principles of classic conditioning to create a stimulus in children that would result in fear. Since Watson wanted to condition Albert, he used a variety of objects that would otherwise not scare him. These objects included white rat, dog, blocks, rabbit, fur coat, wool and a Santa Claus mask.
Dr. Herta Oberheuser experimented on me multiple times, carelessly. She would inject me with evipan, pour boiling oil onto my skin and cause unbearable pain, physically and emotionally; these were made while I was fully conscious and awake. After I escaped, I would still have terrifying dreams where she would continue the experiments. I had to search for a psychologist to help me get rid of the dreams, hallucinations and the constant fear of sharp and heated objects.

The Rosenhan experiment was an experiment into the validity of psychiatric diagnosis, conducted by David Rosenhan in 1973. The study is considered an important and influential criticism of psychiatric diagnosis.
Hawthorne creates a delightfully dreary Gothic short story ¨Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment¨ through the use of a dilapidated family estate, heightened emotions from the characters Mr. Medbourne, Colonel Killigrew, and Mr. Gascoigne, as well as unexplained objects such as the painting of Dr Heidegger's lost love coming to life.
