back to zero by the spring. 2. What device is used to extend the range of a DC ammeter and how is it connected to the basic meter? An additional resistance‚ which is called shunt resistor‚ is placed in parallel with the galvanometer of an ammeter to extend the range of the DC ammeter. The added resistance must be less than the resistance of the galvanometer to attract more current and the ammeter itself will receive less current‚ but will not affect the total current of the circuit‚ therefore

resistant bacteria. What is antibiotic resistance? The bacteria are antibiotic-resistant when they lose their ability to kill or inhibit their growth. Resistant bacteria survive in the presence of the antibiotic‚ continue to multiply and cause disease more prolonged‚ severe and even death. These situations require heightened scrutiny and more expensive antibiotics and with more side effects. What is the main cause of bacterial resistance? The resistance is obtained by modification of genes

When individuals are being considered for our available job openings‚ they go through a selection process to measure their knowledge‚ skills and abilities to determine if they can perform the jobs in a satisfactory manner. It is to the advantage of both you‚ as a job candidate‚ and the company that only those who can perform at acceptable levels be placed on the job. Research has shown that tests provide accurate

For our project we decided to disassemble and understand a Memphis 1 Channel Mono Block Amplifier. First we started by disassembling the amp down to the main circuit board. From there we assigned ourselves different components to understand what they were and how they worked inside the amp. We all researched our components and got back together to discuss and figure out the flow of power and operations of the amp worked. A general idea of what the amp does is as follows. Power comes into the inputs

responsible for the co-resistance and cross resistance to multiple antibiotics. This paper is a concise exposition of the effects of prolonged usage and the pro ’s and con ’s of antibiotics in humans. Currently‚ after decades of overuse in human medicine the threat of antibiotic resistance has become a reality. Resistance in certain species of antibiotics has been attributed to inadequate and inappropriate use of antibiotic drugs (Andersson 2005). Through resistance genes strains of

Problems with Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Antibiotic-Resistance is the ability of bacteria and other microorganisms to resist the effects of the antibiotics they were once sensitive towards (MedicineNet.com‚ 2012). People have been prescribed antibiotics for years to prevent‚ reduce or eliminate infectious diseases. This consumption of these antibiotics has caused our bodies to become resistant towards treatment. Rise of Antibiotic-Resistance When a person goes to the doctor for treatment and are

Strings of holiday lights can be designed in one of two ways. In some strings of lights‚ each light is connected to the others along a single wire (in series). In others‚ each light is attached to its own wire (in parallel). Suppose a single light bulb burns out. How do you think

What is peaceful resistance? We have seen many examples in history up even to today‚ in my case‚ even close to home. Peaceful resistance and non-violent protests is the practice of achieving goals through symbolic protests‚ civil disobedience‚ and noncooperation. The real question is with deaths of many great leaders and people throughout history with this "peaceful protest" is it a good thing? If you look at the outcomes‚ the positives outweigh the negatives. If colonial Indians hadn’t spoken-out
