Experiment Report for: ‘the affect of Caffeine on Daphnia’s heartbeat’ Introduction: Aim: The aim of this experiment is to understand the affect of the drug Caffeine on the rate of a Daphnia’s heartbeat. This is to understand the affect of caffeine on a human’s heart rate and the use of daphnia keeps the experiment fair and safe. Background Research: Daphnia – Daphnia (water fleas) are grouped as crustaceans under the arthropod group of Kingdom Anamalia. They have an open circulatory

"Male crimes rates are much higher than those of females." Pg. 49 Cesare Lombrose argues in Chapter 2 under trait differences that masculinity played a major role in gender differences. I totally agree with him. Males are typically more aggressive than females and quicker to react off of their emotions than females. When growing up and learning at early stages in life‚ females are usually looked at as advancing faster than males. They are usually talking‚ walking‚ potty trained‚ etc faster than boys

CHAPTER 4 (MANKIW) INFLATION RATES AND INTEREST RATES: THE FISHER EQUATION NOTES by: Chadia Mathurin Economists differentiate between real and nominal interest rates where: real interest: is defined as the increase or decrease in a consumer’s purchasing power experienced as a result of changes in the interest rate. nominal interest: is defined as the interest payed by the bank. Let: i denote the nominal interest rate r the real interest rate pi ‚ the inflation rate The equation for the

Effects of Raising Interest Rates If a central bank increases the base rate‚ this tends to increase all major interest rates in the economy. This means interest rates for both savers and borrowers will increase. Higher interest rates will have various economic effects: 1. Increases the cost of borrowing.
