Argon ( αργος, Greek meaning " inactive ", in reference to its chemical inactivity ) was suspected to be present in air by Henry Cavendish in 1785 but was not isolated until 1894 by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay in Scotland in an experiment in which they removed all of the oxygen, carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen from a sample of clean air.

Rutherford interpreted the gold foil experiment as suggesting that the positive charge of a heavy gold atom and most of its mass was concentrated in a nucleus at the center of the atom — the Rutherford model.

In an article he submitted for the medical journal The Lancet during World War I, Fleming described an ingenious experiment, which he was able to conduct as a result of his own glass blowing skills, in which he explained why antiseptics were killing more soldiers than infection itself during World War I. Antiseptics worked well on the surface, but deep wounds tended to shelter anaerobic bacteria from the antiseptic agent, and antiseptics seemed to remove beneficial agents produced that protected the patients in these cases at least as well as they removed bacteria, and did nothing to remove the bacteria that were out of reach.

The experiment was abandoned the following season.

The frequency of new enhancing lesions as detected by Gd-enhanced MRI was reduced by more than half in 12 patients, comparing the six-month run-in phase to the six-month post-BCG phase of the experiment.

By repeating the experiment with particles of inorganic matter he was able to rule out that the motion was life-related, although its origin was yet to be explained.

experiment while other analysis is performed after changes in the

An experiment performed in Massachusetts utilized 20 patients with various sensors attached to their arms.

On day two, the crew performed an electrophoresis experiment, also performed on Apollo 14, in which the astronauts attempted to prove the higher purity of particle migrations in the zero-gravity environment.

A 2008 quantum physics experiment performed in Geneva, Switzerland has determined that in any hypothetical nonlocal hidden-variables theory the speed of the quantum non-local connection would have to be at least 10, 000 times the speed of light.

: The same experiment can in theory be performed with any physical system: electrons, protons, atoms, molecules, viruses, bacteria, cats, humans, elephants, planets, etc.

Thomas Young performed a celebrated experiment in 1803 demonstrating interference from two closely spaced slits.

However, when this " single-slit experiment " is actually performed, the pattern on the screen is a diffraction pattern in which the light is spread out.

Young's experiment, performed in the early 1800s, played a vital part in the acceptance of the wave theory of light, vanquishing the corpuscular theory of light proposed by Isaac Newton, which had been the accepted model of light propagation in the 17th and 18th centuries.

A low-intensity double-slit experiment was first performed by G. Taylor in 1909, by reducing the level of incident light until photon emission / absorption events were mostly nonoverlapping.

A double-slit experiment was not performed with anything other than light until 1961, when Clauss Jönsson of the University of Tübingen performed it with electrons.

But an experiment performed in 1987 produced results that demonstrated that information could be obtained regarding which path a particle had taken, without destroying the interference altogether.

The experiment has been performed with particles as large as C60 ( Buckminsterfullerene ).

In 1902 William Bayliss and Ernest Starling performed an experiment in which they observed that acid instilled into the duodenum caused the pancreas to begin secretion, even after they had removed all nervous connections between the two.

However, the effect did not become widely known until 1820, when Ørsted performed a similar experiment.

The EPR thought experiment, performed with electron – positron pairs.

It is not known whether Franklin ever performed his experiment, but on May 10, 1752, Thomas-François Dalibard of France conducted a similar experiment ( using a 40-foot ( 12 m ) iron rod instead of a kite ) and extracted electrical sparks from a cloud.

However, Arago, another member of the committee, performed the experiment and showed that the prediction was correct.

It was rumoured that Rascher performed vivisections on the brains of victims who survived the initial experiment.

The conditionality principle says that if an experiment is chosen by a random process independent of the states of nature, then only the experiment actually performed is relevant to inferences about.

I believe that what I do has some effect on his actions and I have learned, in a way, to commune with drunks, but certainly my actions seem to resemble more nearly the performance of a rain dance than the carrying out of an experiment in physics.

There's more reading and instruction to be heard on discs than ever before, although the spoken rather than the sung word is as old as Thomas Alva Edison's first experiment in recorded sound.

In addition, the neocortical-hypothalamic relations play a great role in primates, as Mirsky's interesting experiment on the `` communication of affect '' demonstrates.

In the parapsychology foundation's long-range experiment, readings are made by a variety of sensitives for a large number of cooperating sitters, trying to throw light on this question of the significance of mediumistic statements.

From his birch-paneled office in the Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene, under the university's football stadium in Minneapolis ( `` We get a rumble on every touchdown '' ), blocky, grey-haired Dr. Keys directs an ambitious, $200,000-a-year experiment on diet, which spans three continents and seven nations and is still growing.

The assumption of unit-treatment addivity implies that, for every treatment, the th treatment have exactly the same effect on every experiment unit.

Many statisticians base ANOVA on the design of the experiment, especially on the protocol that specifies the random assignment of treatments to subjects ; the protocol's description of the assignment mechanism should include a specification of the structure of the treatments and of any blocking.

followed by some predictions that may or may not be confirmed by experiment, and so on.

Based on his ideas for human perfection, Alcott founded Fruitlands, a transcendentalist experiment in community living.

It remains a unique and intriguing experiment in direct democracy, a political system in which the people do not elect representatives to vote on their behalf but vote on legislation and executive bills in their own right.

Salieri's Chimney Sweep and Mozart's work for the same company in 1782, Die Entführung aus dem Serail ( The Abduction from the Seraglio ) would be the only two major successes to emerge from the German singspiel experiment, and only Mozart's opera would survive on the stage beyond the close of the 18th century.
