This activity focuses on vibratory motion. In particular, we look at pendulum motion. Put simply, vibratory motion is the back and forth motion of an object as a result of a restoring force or influence such as spring force (in the case of spring motion) and gravity (in the case of pendulum motion). Items Needed: string or yarn a small object that you can tie a string to and use as a pendulum bob a watch or timer a ruler

1. Hang or suspend an object using a string of length L = 20 cm.

2. Pull the object to one side and release.

3. Using a watch, measure the time t the object takes to make 10 complete swings.

4. The period T is the time it takes for an object to make 1 vibration or swing. Determine the period of the pendulum motion.

T= t 10 =2π √ L g

5. Using different lengths of string, perform several trials of the experiment.

6. In the report, describe and discuss your observations.

An airline wants to select a computer software package for its reservation system. Four software packages (1, 2, 3, and 4) are commercially available. The airline will choose the package that bumps as few passengers, on the average, as possible during a month. An experiment is set up in which each package is used to make reservations for 5 randomly selected weeks. (A total of 20 weeks was included in the experiment.) The number of passengers bumped each week is given below. Please use the appropriate test to see if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the average numbers of customers bumped by the 4 packages are not all the same. (14 points, without test procedure and excel output, you will get zero point). Level of significance is assumed to be 0.01.
Package 1:​ 12, 14, 9, 11, 16
Package 2: ​ 2, 4, 7, 3, 1
Package 3:​ 10, 9, 6, 10, 12
Package 4:​ 7, 6, 6, 15, 12

Medical testing: enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test for presence of antigen or antibody

EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL

In this laboratory, you will test seven different patients using a direct ELISA. We have access to serum samples from the main characters of the TV show The Big Bang Theory. You will test each of them for the presence of ZIKA virus and HIV, as well as perform a pregnancy test, using known antigens/antibodies for those diseases/test. Students will work in pairs. Serum for each character of the Big Bang Theory has been incubated overnight at 4°C in the wells of an ELISA plate.

When researches incubate whole red blood cells with lactoperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide and radioactive iodine I 125 and then separate the proteins in SDS gel, several radioactive lines are obtained cause iodine binds to prominent tyrosine and histidine residues outside the cell membrane.
When researches incubate whole red blood cells with galactose oxidase and reduce them with sodium borohydride that contains tritium (H-BH43) several radioactive lines are obtained which are just some of the proteins that have been marked with radioactive iodine , thus galactose residues stand out of the cell.
a) Explain the difference in the number of proteins obtained in the two experiments above
b) Why the results of the second experiment do not reflect mark of all the sugars in the membrane?
c) What results will be obtained if we conduct an experiment identical to that described in the question but with inverse vesicles (these are closed vesicles containing all membrane components but where the outer leaf of the membrane turns inward and inward leaf outward)? Thank you!

Based on results, does it appear that there is sufficient evidence to claim that the drug lowers pulse rate? Are there any serious problems with the design of the experiment? Given this was only involving males, can we say that results apply to females? Is there a better way in measuring the drug's effectiveness in lowering pulse rates? How would you characterize the overall validity of the experiment? Based on available results, should the drug be approved?
