Unusual Results01:16

Unusual Results

4.2K
Unusual results are those that have a very low chance of occurring. Unusual results can be identified using probabilities and the range rule of thumb. In problems involving probability, unusual results can be observed in 2 instances – an unusually high number of successes or an unusually low number of successes.
According to the range rule of thumb, any value above or below two standard deviations, 2σ  from the mean, μ  is considered unusual.
Maximum unusual value =...

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

7.3K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Gas Solubility01:31

Gas Solubility

100
Gas solubility in liquids forms liquid-gas solutions, such as soft drinks, where carbon dioxide is dissolved in water, and the ocean, where the solubility of oxygen and carbon dioxide supports marine life. The ability of oceans to dissolve gases impacts weather conditions in the troposphere.However, gas-liquid interactions vary. For instance, hydrogen chloride gas is highly soluble in water, while oxygen's solubility is much lower. Because these solutions are non-ideal, Raoult’s law,...

Conformations of Ethane and Propane02:18

Conformations of Ethane and Propane

19.5K
In an organic molecule, free rotation about the carbon-carbon single bond results in energetically different conformers of the molecule. Due to this rotation, called the internal rotation, ethane has two major conformations — staggered and eclipsed.
Staggered conformation is a low energy and more stable conformation with the C-H bonds on the front carbon placed at 60°dihedral angles relative to the C-H bonds on the back carbon, leading to a reduced torsional strain. In staggered...

Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS)01:14

Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS)

7.7K
Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) is the combination of analytical techniques of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry in a single instrument for analyzing a mixture of compounds. The gas chromatograph separates the compounds in the mixture, and the mass spectrometer analyzes each compound separately to determine the molecular masses and molecular structures.
A gas chromatograph consists of a long, narrow capillary column with a polysiloxane coating on the inner wall....

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Sociology
  • Risk Analysis

Background:

  • Unconventional gas development (UGD) is expanding in the United States.
  • Public perception of UGD is a critical factor in its social acceptance and governance.
  • Existing objective risk assessments indicate manageable risks associated with UGD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze public perception of risks associated with unconventional gas development (UGD).
  • To explore the influence of risk perception theories and public opinion on UGD.
  • To identify factors affecting perceived risk and potential for social amplification.

Main Methods:

  • Drawing on risk perception and risk governance theories.
  • Analyzing recent public opinion surveys on UGD.
  • Examining state and local variations in risk perception.

Main Results:

  • UGD is perceived as risky, despite objective assessments of low, controllable risks.
  • Perceived risk is increasing with wider UGD adoption and intensified opposition.
  • Perceived benefits and compensation schemes partially mitigate risk perceptions.

Conclusions:

  • Public awareness and organized opposition to UGD are growing, leading to local prohibitions.
  • While large-scale social amplification has not occurred, trends suggest increasing public scrutiny.
  • Further social science research is recommended to understand public reactions to UGD.
