Twin Experiments
The Twin Experiments was conducted by Josef Mengele, during World War 2 in
Auschwitz. Dr. Mengle was a medical researcher who was fascinated with twins in specific. From the three thousand children that would be pulled from the masses of people upon arriving only about 200 survived. Age didn't matter, yet most were children, and if they were really young their mother would be allowed to stay with them. The twins recieved "special" treatmeant as they were allowed to keep their hair and clothes. A medical form was filled out for each pair. Dr. Mengele was known as "Uncle Mengele" to the children and were saved from the camps horrors.
When the experiments started the twins would have blood drawn everyday, sometimes simultaneously. Then they would

    “At Auschwitz, with full licences to maim or kill his subjects, Mengele performed a broad range of agonizing and often lethal experiments with Jewish and Roma twins, most of them children.”(www.Silive.com) He was not only certified to kill but was creative with how he wanted to kill his victims.“ To investigate the effect of various poisons upon human beings. The poisons were administered to the victims in their food. The victims died as a result of the poison or were killed immediately in order to perform autopsies.”(Mengele.dk) He was obsessed with twins and wanted to know the secrets to them inside and out. “Of all the 3,000 people involved in Mengele's experiments at Auschwitz only about 200 remain alive.” (www.Moreorless.net.au) Most of the twins died, but some survived and shared their stories about being a Mengele twin and what is was like to be one of his experiments. Dr. Mengele involved himself in a horrific thing and did horrible things to many…

    Stanley Milgram, a professor of social psychology, conducted a research study beginning in July of 1961. This research measured the willingness of participants to either obey or disobey an authority figuring giving them on a conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience. Milgram set up this experiment at Yale University to test how much pain an ordinary citizen would inflict on another person just because an experimental scientist ordered him to. Virtually one thousand adults were observed in this experiment, and several different conditions were launched to find a limit to which the candidate would continue the order…

There was students in class in room 256, BIO 223- Vertebrate Zoology and traffic of students coming in and out of the building. I observed approximately 80 students mostly white student and very few minorities. The minorities students that I observed during the first part of my observation were just passing through the Bioscience headed to Liberal Arts building and a majority of those students were white. I could actually count how many students that passed by that appeared to be the minority group (Females – 1 Middle Eastern (hijab) and 1 Hispanic. Males – 2 Native Americans, 1 African American…

    For this initial discussion I would like to contrast controlled laboratory experiments and naturalistic observations research methods. In controlled laboratory experiments, the researchers conduct their studies in a controlled setting. Conversely, studies involving naturalistic observation, examine participants in their natural environment. Below I present a contrast of the most essential features of each of these methods of research.…

    I have always been fascinated by conjoined twins and have always had questions about them like; what do the Siamese have to do with conjoined twins? Why does this form of twin happen? What, if any genes cause this? What types of Conjoined twins are there? How does the environment affect, if at all, the biological families' gene pool? In my research in efforts to prepare this paper, I found the answers to this question and many more. This term paper will cover the types of conjoined twins, the biological occurrence that causes conjoined twins, a look into some of the genetic and environmental causes of conjoined twins, the types of conjoined twins and the genetic and social impact of conjoined twins.…

    Background & theory: In this experiment, the relationship between volumetric flow rate and percentages of valve opening is determined by knowing that volumetric of flow rate of air through the flow meter is proportional to the square root of the differential head across the manometer. Graph of volumetric flow rate (%) vs valve opening (%) can be plotted from the relationship Q α √∆P where in this case becomes Q α √∆h where Q is the volumetric flow rate and √∆h is the square root of the differential height of manometer. By plotting this graph for globe and gate valve, different trend can be observed and frictional losses can be analysed.…
