Energy content

experiment was to identify which tree nut of the 4 that were tested (hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans, and almonds) had the highest energy content. Hypothesis If different tree nuts are tested for their energy content then the tree nuts with the highest amount of oil on its exterior (shell) will have the greater energy content, this is because the tree nuts with the greater oil content will catch fire at a quicker pace than the tree nuts with a smaller oil amount on their outer shell. Background information

Introduction Testing and experimentation isn’t a buzz term, a lot of astute marketing and designs are incorporating it to step-up the conversion rate and also gain insights into customer’s behavior [3]. The advantage the web has over other channels is the capability to test and fail at a reduced cost [7]. A test is defined as a procedure for critical evaluation carried out to achieve good, measurable results in a short time frame [10]. Most people think of experiments as restricted to chemistry

Helping Consumers It is safe to assume that the use of open data would effectively boost the strength of businesses. (Manyika, Chui, Farrell, Van Kuiken, Groves, & Almasi Doshi, 2013) And while this is true, the McKinsey Global Institute makes the bold claim that open data “benefits consumers even more than businesses.” (Manyika, Chui, Farrell, Van Kuiken, Groves, & Almasi Doshi, 2013) They go on to discuss the reasoning behind this, and it makes a lot of sense. While the data provided can be used

Rules revolving around Canadian Content (CanCon) have been set in place since the 1920’s. In 2005, revisions to the 1991 Broadcasting Act were made. Since this revision was made there have been further changes to the Act trying to create the best set of rules for CanCon to be broadcasted (Dewing, 2011). CanCon is an outdated concept that is causing consumers to switch to other forms of media. The CanCon rules cannot determine what is considered Canadian and they cannot keep up with the ever-changing

New Zealand as revealed in the travel blogs by Chinese tourists who have already visited the country. The approach used here differs from the traditional types of methodology such as interviews and questionnaires, but instead this study adopted a content analysis approach. A thorough literature review was first conducted at the beginning of this study in attempt to understand what information is already established in regards to destination image and what is important to Chinese tourists when they

Research Question The following is my preliminary research question. In Ottawa Ontario, what are the resources or services that are available to and for lesbian survivors of intimate partner violence, and how do women that have contacted these resources feel about the adequacy of the services they were offered? Research Statement Reflecting on the path my answer might take, it is possible that the resources and services available in Ottawa reflect a heteronormative belief about society. Put another

Condom Use a Method of Birth Control Introduction The purpose of this instrument is to evaluate a health belief model based on condom use intervention targeting undergraduate students. Research studies have been done to measure the number of people who use condoms as a form of contraception (Moore & Melkote, 2009). Research studies show condom use and other prevention methods can reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), and protect against pregnancy (Moore & Melkote, 2009). HIV/AIDS

2011). The genes have been awoken in multiple angiosperm plants throughout the evolution of today’s modern plants. These genes have not been found in gymnosperms. The genes are only being utilized when in seed form for most flowering plants. Being able to switch these genes on like a light switch, in the tissue and fiber of conventional crops will aid in our fight against world hunger. During severe desiccation periods, plant lose all the available protoplasmic water. This loss of water causes structural

Encoding Specificity is very important in understanding how memory is retrieved and stored. Memory is easier to be recalled when this information is encoded. The encoding specificity is best understood by looking at the associations between contextual cues that were formed during the encoding and the information that needed to be encoded in the memory. Most encoding specificity is associated with cue-recall of specific episodic memory (Wardell & Read, 2013). Encoding specificity has cues that

One of the larger aspects of most up and coming musicians' careers is having enough money to produce more music for their fans. And, although music streaming sites such as Spotify and Pandora do pay artists when people listen to their songs, the payout is often not worth the effort. "When I say the amount paid per stream of a song is low, I mean it is low (McIntyre). These low payments are what is slowly devaluing the effort of small-time artists that want to find success but just cannot seem
