A behavior analyst is currently working for a drug company that wants to test the efficacy of a new experimental drug to reduce his client’s motor tics. The company researchers are looking to determine appropriate dosages and want to administer several different doses of the drug to see which dosage is most effective at reducing motor ticks. Which analysis would be the best for the behavior analyst to use?

How has MIPS contributed to understanding manatee life history?

Three rubber bands are shown before and after being stretched. Before stretching, bands A, B and C have lengths of 85 mm, 110 mm, and 160 mm, respectively. After stretching, band A has a length of 105 mm, while bands B and C each have a length of 210 mm. Determine the maximum normal strain in the bands.

Which military decision/event led to the fall of Napoleon? 

What event began the Thirty Years’ War? 

Patents give the inventor exclusive use of the invention forever.

Rigid pipe (2) is supported by a pin connection at C and tie rod (1). The structure supports a load P = 10 kN at pin B. Assume x1 = 3.3 m, x2 = 2.2 m, and y1 = 3.7 m. Determine the force in tie rod (1).

Which of the following is true about fault induction attacks?

A steel rod with a circular cross section is used as a weight hanger. The straight part of the rod is 170-mm long and has a diameter of 4.4 mm. Determine the longitudinal strain in this portion of the rod when it supports a tensile load of 12.0 N.

Harout wants to improve the performance of the assembly line worker he manages. Currently, the worker produces an average of 750 units per day in baseline. Harout first implements a feedback system where he posts graphs representing the worker’s daily number of units produced. Almost immediately after the feedback system’s implementation, productivity increases to an average of 1,000 units per day. After two weeks at this level, Harout decides to implement a pay-for-performance system with bonuses based on productivity rates. This performance system produces an average of 1,200 units per day for the next 2 weeks. Harout continues implementing these interventions in this same order without randomization and sees similar behavior patterns. Later, Harout implements the performance system immediately following baseline and finds that it is not as effective as it had been during the original testing period. The results of these data are most likely being impacted by which confound?
