  • Applied Numeracy for Higher Education

    Numeracy is an individual ability that is applied to basic numerical concepts. The fundamental numeracy skills include adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing (Steen 2001). Numeracy is a practice that involves numerical and graphical information (McIntosh 2004). Data collection commands keenness because inaccurate data collection may lead to invalid results (Purcell, Elias, Davies & Wilton 2005).…

  • The Nutritive Value of Ruminant Feeds

    Abstract In this paper, we experimented to assess the nutritive value of ruminant feeds. To do so, we analyzed the chemical compositions of dry matter, crude protein, acid detergent fibre, neutral detergent fibre, ash, and ether extract. Our findings revealed that ryegrass had the highest concentrations of dry matter (95.46), neutral detergent fibre (68.25), and…

  • Aspects of Muscles of Respiration

    Breathing is one of the essential processes of the body that sustains life along with the cardiovascular and neural activities. More specifically, it is responsible for the intake and absorption of the oxygen, which, in turn, is supplied into the rest of the organs through blood. When it comes to the respiratory system of the…

  • Probability Distributions: Questions and Notes

    Carrying out a quantitative analysis is a crucial step toward identifying essential relationships between the variables under analysis. It should be noted, though, that the process in question can be carried out in a variety of ways, probability distribution being one of the tools that can be used for data assessment. By definition, the phenomenon…

  • Characteristics of the Phototrophs and Chemotrophs Organisms

    Phototrophs Organisms are usually classified based on their nutritional need, and according to this criterion, there are two distinct groups, the phototrophs and the chemotrophs. Phototrophs rely on energy from the sun to manufacture their food in the form of ATP (Parker et al., 2017). The sunlight oxidizes organic molecules to produce energy, which is…

  • Roots, Radicals, and Quadratic Equations

    In mathematics, numbers can be represented in whole, integer, fractional, and decimal forms. Depending on the form, the mechanics of arithmetic operations to add, subtract, multiply, and divide them change. For example, regular recalculation adds and subtracts whole numbers, as shown in equations 1 and 2. Integer numbers are added and subtracted by considering the…

  • Statistical Decision Model and Statistical Tests

    Table of Contents Decision Model and Explanation of Steps Research Studies Using the Decision Model to Select Tests Usefulness and Limitations of Decision Models Conclusion References The accuracy of the researchs results depends on the statistical test chosen to measure variables. To decide what specific test to choose for the study, it is necessary to…

  • Chemical Sense of Smell (Olfaction) and Taste

    The olfactory system contains four major components that form the olfactory path. The first component, the olfactory receptor, also called the smell receptor, consists of millions of cluster receptor cells called the olfactory epithelium situated at the back of the nasal cavity. The olfactory sensory neurons provide a connection of information from the olfactory epithelium…

  • Ring of Fire and Recent Tectonics Movements

    The Ring of Fire area is a dangerous territory that significantly impacts the tectonic activities of the whole Earth. From the scientific perspective, many plates have irregular positions and are at risk of collision. The plates subduction not only causes massive earthquakes but also provokes global climate change and dangerous tectonic shifts. Scientists are responsible…

  • Hypothesis Testing: Number of Defective Flash Drivers

    Introduction Creating the environment, in which consistent quality improvement becomes a possibility, is imperative for the contemporary entrepreneurship. Therefore, a detailed analysis of the current production process, including the repeatability and the reproducibility levels needs to be carried out (Liu, 2014). In the context of the identified scenario, one will have to carry out a…
