TOPICS TO BE COVERED Why do error analysis? If we don't ever know the true value, how do we estimate the error in the true value? Error propagation in the measurement chain How do errors combine? (How do they behave in general?)

Elements of Designing an Experiment Goal is to assess your hypothesis The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing-[Tom Curran, AFRL] The design goal for your experiment is to achieve your objective and satisfy your success criteria. Your HOS are the touchstones for your experimental design

Prof. Ed Greitzer Prof. Earll Murman \The course faculty is responsible for the structuring of the subject and the development of the learning objectives, subject content and assessment tools. The course faculty will lead all class and team meetings and grade all written and oral material. The course faculty, together with input from the 16.62x staff and Writing Program Instructor, are responsible for assessing

How p53 and Rb pathway function may be disrupted in cancer cells Components of the pathway which are found altered in human cancers are shown in red on the diagram above p53 and Rb themselves may be inactivated by gene mutation (loss of both copies or also as in familial retinoblastoma and Li-Fraumeni syndrome where there are inherited mutations in one copy of Rb or p53 gene respectively. Alternatively

2.4.1 Cell Activities \Packaged\ sequences (cascades) of cell activities/functions with an identifiable beginning and an end 2.4.1.1 Mitosis(Proliferation) Mitosis is a complex of processes leading to the division of a cell such that the two daughter nuclei receive identical complements of the number of chromosomes characteristic of the cells of the species. All cells arise from the division of pre-existing cells. The process of mitosis is divided into four phases:

TISSUE Tissue is a biological structure made up of cells of the same type. - Cells of the same phenotype(e., same genes expressed). An aggregation of morphologically similar cells and associated extracellular matrix acting together to perform one or more specific functions in the body. - There are four basic types of tissue: muscle, nerve, epithelia, and connective. An organ is a structure made up of or more tissues
