16) Which of the following is an obstacle encountered in environmental research?

a) setting up adequate experimental controls for field studies

b) developing laboratory experiments of sufficient complexity

c) developing theory and models for complex systems

d) timeframes of ecological processes

17) It is difficult to anticipate all the consequences of environmental decision-making. For example, when the insecticide DDT was introduced to control mosquito populations, an unintended consequence was:

a) a super-strain of bacteria that was resistant to DDT

b) a rise in malaria cases caused by mosquitoes

c) the brown pelican converting to vegetarianism

d) birds ingesting contaminated insects, and then producing eggshells so thin that the unhatched birds died

e) political leaders endorsing alternative habitat for mosquitoes

18) Measurement uncertainties and other errors that occur in experiments are called:

b) systematic errors

c) experimental errors

d) statistical errors

e) precision errors

19) Identify an alternative to direct experimentation in environmental science:

a) analysis of historical records

b) observations of modern catastrophes

c) environmental monitoring

d) analysis of fossil records

e) all of the above can be used as alternatives to direct experimentation

20) __________ is a search for understanding of the natural world, whereas __________ is the

application of scientific knowledge in an attempt to benefit human beings.

a) theory; logic

b) technology; science

c) science; technology

d) pseudoscience; frontier science

e) value; faith

The advanced practice nurse asks the patient about his “chief complaint” with eyes on the computer screen as she enters data into the electronic health record (EHR). What mode is reflected in this behavior and what might the patient experience as a consequences of mode of being?

What is the evidence of Halldorsdottir’s classification? Describe and critique these research studies.

How can the nurse sustain a biogenic practice?

in a coffee cup calorimeter, 50.0mL of 0.100M AgNO3 and 50.0mL of 0.100M HCL are mixed. The following reaction occurs: Ag+(aq)+Cl-(aq)–>AgCl(s)if the 2 solutions were initially at 22.6C and the final temperature is 23.4C, calculate delta H for the above reaction. Assume the density of the combined solution is 1.00g/mL and its specific heat capacity is 4.18 J/gC

When one person shouts at a football game, the sound loudness at the center of the field is 55 dB. When all the people shout together, the loudness increases to 105 dB. Assume that each person is about the same distance from the center of the field and can generate the same level of sound intensity. How many people are at the game?

Given the DNA strand below,5′-ATTGTTGGGATTCGC-3’What DNA sequence would convert this into a double helix (ie. normal DNA).Assume that the short sequence shown above (5′-ATTGTTGGGATTCGC-3′) is from an Okazakifragment. What are the 1st five bases that primase synthesizes (before DNA polymerase I andDNA ligase have modified this molecule)?
