SCI 100 Module Two Activity Template: Scientific Approaches and Questions
Part One
Identify an approach to scientific research
addressed in the chosen news story.
Observation – The researchers exposed 25 healthy adult participants to both filtered and
unfiltered diesel for several hours in a controlled study environment using a functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to capture brain imaging before and after exposure.
Analyze the Data – The recorded data from the fMRI to look for patterns that show a
connection by analyzing the changes in the "brain default mode (DMN) to either support or
reject the hypotheses (University of British Columbia, 2023, para.4).
Part Two
Draft two research questions you are interested in asking about the main idea of your news story. Ensure
that both of your questions are
measurable
and
focused
.
What are the decrements in brain connectivity when exposed to traffic related air
pollutants?
How long does the side last when brain is exposed to unfiltered diesel exhaust air
pollutants?
Why did previous research from decades ago lead people to believe that they were immune
to the harmful effects of air pollution?

You work in a research organization that is looking for markers of various diseases that can be used as a diagnostic for the disease. It has been reported in the past that high levels of Cu are found in the sweat of people with cystic fibrosis. One of the research projects is focused on looking for high levels of Cu in samples that can be obtained non-invasively such as saliva, sweat, hair, nails, etc.
The lab will analyze large samples for Cu. What instrument would you recommend purchasing to support this work, Atomic absorption spectrophotometer or an inductively coupled plasma atomic spectrophotometer? Explain the basis for your decision.

3. In patients with early stage lung cancer, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has greatly improved survival in
patients unable to undergo surgery. In tumors 100 Gy 10 BED have demonstrated
significantly improved survival, when compared with doses <100 Gy 10. What is the BED of the following protocol?
Would you suggest increasing the dose, or does it appear adequate, assuming the given information? What would
you expect as the most likely side effect of therapy for this patient?
3 fractions of 15 Gy delivered every other day.

Olympic athletes are tested to see whether or not they are using illegal performance-enhancing drugs. Suppose that urine samples are taken and analyzed, and the rate of false positive results is 1%. Suppose also that it is too expensive to refine the method to reduce the rate of false positive results.We certainly do not want to accuse innocent people of using illegal drugs. What can you do to reduce the rate of false accusations even though the test always has a false positive rate of 1%?

You are interested to know the Q10 value for mean heart rate (# of beats/10 sec) for a species of crab for the
temperature interval of 25°C - 35°C. To find this value, you collect data for these six temperatures and calculate mean
heart rate (# of beats/10 sec) for each temperature. Here is the data:

You have a 11.5 mg sample of blood that
contains various proteins. Hemoglobin is the
only protein in the sample containing Fe.
Hemoglobin contains 3.83% by mass of a
compound called heme (C34H32FeN4O4, MW
= 616.49 g/mol). You find that your 11.5 mg
blood sample contains 29.7 micrograms of
Fe. What is the mass percent of hemoglobin
in your protein sample?
