Nothing in science is written in stone.

Whenever new discoveries force scientists to reconsider their hypotheses, theories and data, they do just that. This is why people think of science as a collection of concepts that are always being revised.

This holds true for the basic building block concepts within science as well. The cell is a perfect example of this: in the mid-1600s, Robert Hooke used one of the very first microscopes to examine thin slices of cork. When he saw that the cork plant was made up of tiny box-shaped pieces, he gave science the concept of the cell. For 100 years, people thought of the cell as the smallest thing inside all living creatures. But then, in 1781, Felice Fontana spotted something even smaller inside the cells from an eel: the nucleolus. This discovery made people rethink the idea that cells were the tiniest things inside living creatures. Clearly, there were even smaller things inside cells.

Since Fontana’s time, scientists have refined, revised, and rewritten their view of the cell thousands of times in order to match up with every piece of new data. This same process has happened with the scientific view of geological processes including plate tectonics and earthquakes.

In 200 words answer these questions

Using what you learned about plate tectonics, Alfred Wegener, and the basics of scientific investigation from the previous units discuss the following:

 Did Wegener reveal his theory of continental drift too soon? For the sake of scientific investigation, how is revealing an explanation for a process early both risky and sometimes necessary?Apart from lacking an explanation for how the continents could move across the surface of the Earth, Wegener’s research was met by skepticism for other reasons. How can a scientist overcome skepticism? What features of the scientific method can help prevent a scientist from being labeled a crackpot?If Alfred Wegener were alive today, and had access to the technology and data we have now, share a form of evidence that he could have added to his theory or would have changed his theory. Try to share a different form of evidence from those shared by your classmates and/or add to their posts by describing how the evidence is collected, how the technology works to collect the data, or how this technology/evidence has been used in other applications.

Eco 204 Raise Or Lower Tuition ORIGINAL answer attached

/in /by

You have been hired by Nobody State University (NSU) as a consultant to help the university with how to increase their total revenue. The university has been struggling in recent years, so they have hired you to help them in their last attempt to find an appropriate solution so that the university can survive. 

Raise or Lower Tuition? Suppose that, in an attempt to raise more revenue, Nobody State University increases its tuition. 

 Assess a raise in tuition and if it will necessarily result in more revenue. Describe the conditions under which revenue will (a) rise, (b) fall, or (c) remain the same. Explain the process of revenue at NSU, focusing on the relationship between the increased revenue from students enrolling at NSU despite the higher tuition and the lost revenue from possible lower enrollment. If the true price elasticity were (-1.2), discuss what you would suggest the university do to expand revenue. Using what you have learned in this course, explain how you would resolve this problem if you were the President of NSU.

Please include 3-4 reliable references slide.

You and your brother are owners of a family business, Grandma’s Treats. As co-owner, you have decided to try and increase sales by incorporating a company Web site and the use of electronic business transactions. Storefront Web sites make money, like many traditional businesses, by selling products or services for a predetermined price that will generate a profit above its cost.

Look on the Web for at least 2 companies that use at least 2 different business models (storefront, auction, portal, or a combination), and document your findings on how they may have a technological advantage over their competitors.

Select any one of the Web site types you have reviewed, and explain why it would be the most profitable for Grandma’s Treats. Which type of company do you think would be most profitable using that site type? Would the concept of dynamic pricing be applicable to the model you selected? Explain why or why not.

Use the library, the Internet, and any other materials at your disposal to identify and justify advantages of using a specific business model to compete with other e-businesses. Which model would you choose for Grandma’s Treats?
