A group of scientists began a research study to determine if the students in schools that were kept at a colder temperature were

more likely to get sick. The scientists began their study at a school in South Florida which maintained a temperature of 16°C (60°F) all day. The scientists found that 45% of the students caught colds from December to March. They documented their results and wrote a conclusion for their findings which stated that colder temperatures in a school result in the students becoming sick. When the researchers tried to publish their paper, all respected journals rejected it. What would be the most likely reason for not being able to publish the results at this point?

They only looked at one school which is not representative of all students in schools. There could have been an illness going around at this particular school but they have nothing to compare their results to. There should be a control group of students at normal temperatures to compare results of the temperature difference effect also.

Which of the following is a NOT mechanism by which the biofuels are made? a. by reacting animal fat or vegetable oil with waterb
tester [92]

Answer:

A. by reacting animal fat or vegetable oil with water.

D. by treating animal fat or vegetable oil with hydrogen

Explanation:

Water is insoluble in animal fat or vegetable oil so it makes a layer on the surface of oil. When animal fat or vegetable oil react with hydrogen, it produces solid oil called ghee not biofuels. Biofuel is produced when animal fat or vegetable oil react with alcohol.

Tonya used a microscope to observe five kinds of organisms in a sample of pond water. She wants to identify each organism using
NNADVOKAT [17]

<span>A method of deducing the correct species assignment of a living thing is known as dichotomous key, which is also called identification key. It works by requiring a user to choose two alternatives at each step and the choice of one alternatives give the name of the organism or direct further down in the key. However, a common error in using dichotomous key is the assumption that the correct name or identification of the organism is even included in the set of key. Therefore, this method alone is not reliable to identify specific species.</span>

Explain how gravitational contraction, radioactivity, and asteroid and meteorite bombardment heated early earth
Afina-wow [57]
The surface of the early Earth is often described as hellish by scientists. The high temperature is primarily attributed to the high levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the molten rock on the surface of the planet. However, these two aren't the only factors in play.  
Another factor that contributed to the extremely high temperature of the early earth is radioactivity. Radioactive decay of the isotopes found underground plus the left over heat from the formation of our planet produced high levels of radiogenic heat.
There's also the kinetic energy from falling asteroids and meteorites. Massive amounts of energy in the form of heat and sound is produced when asteroids and meteorites hit the Earth. Also, the pressure waves that travel radially outwards the center of the impact is similar to the impact of an atom bomb. As such, dust particles envelop the atmosphere, trapping the heat from the impact. 
The last factor is the gravitational contraction, it contributed to the hellish temperature of primordial Earth because the energy generated from such event is enough to trigger hydrogen fusion.

What did rosenberg and trevathan discover in their study comparing human and nonhuman primate birth?
melamori03 [73]
When comparing the birth patterns of humans and non-human primate, Rosenberg and Trevathan discovered some very clear differences:

1. The human period of labour and child birth is exceptionally long and painful compared to other non-human primates.
E.g. a human labour can last anywhere from 10-20 hours while that of a chimpanzee lasts only 2 hours.

2. Humans have the ability to walk straight, the trade off however is that it is extremely difficult and painful to give birth to a big brained human baby.
