Science & Mathematics - 4 September 2006

Say you don't like the results of a research survey... what are some creative ways that you could skew or alter the results to be the way you WANT them to be, but that still look official and legitimate if your research is ever investigated.

And no, I'm not a research scientist, but I'm writing a story and want to include this idea of deliberately mangled research data.

thanks.

I know that is a special kind of field, but I don't know what it is or how it is defined.

Oh: and I might be missing another of the sets, one which contains the Cayley Numbers.

Having trouble figuring the order of operations. Do brackets act as multiplication signs like parentheses do? I have the answer, but cannot, for the life of me, figure out the steps.

Question:

Can someone tell me how each of the following changes would affect the amount of the specified substance recovered????


1. the recovery of CaCO3 was attempted by adding 3M H2SO4 instead of 3M HCl to the SiO2 / CaCO3 residue

2. the recovery of CaCO3 was attempted by adding 1M KNO3 solution instead of 1M K2CO3 solution to the filtrate, containing aqueous CaCl2

The problem is, well, I don't really know what pdf means.

The pdf of X is f(x)=kx^2 for 0 < x < 2 and f(x)=0 elsewhere.

Find the value of k.

I think what I have to do is find the value of k that yields a parabola that does... something. But I don't really know. Help?

I live in a rich oregano area in Mexico. I know about the profits you can make processing this plant. Unfortunetely, I am not a Chemistry Specialist and I don't know the exact process, and wich materials or equipment to use in order to extract the oil from the plant.
Thanks in advance.

I need facts that support for Paleontology, Geology, Astronamy, and climatology! for example-"paleontology is a big part of the extinction of dinosaurs because scientists have found bones and fossils to support it."

I didn't know that sting rays can kill people. They have sting rays at the petting section of the GA aquarium. So, wouldn't the sting rays be a danger to people? or only certain kinds of sting ray can kill?
