    Abstract The behavior of binary alloys was investigated by the Metropolis Monte Carlo Simulations in Matlab. Temperatures, alloy concentrations and interaction parameters are variables being varied in this simulation. Increases in temperature led to an increase in entropy as well as a decrease in relative correlation of orders. The entropy and enthalpy of mixing both were affected by the alloy concentration, with a maximum of 50%. Lastly, the interaction parameter defined the type of bonds that were

    Selection of Participants Hinduja and Patchin (2013) used random sampling from 33 middle and high schools in a large school district. The administrators randomly selected two or three classes from each grade level, generating a sample of 4,441 students (Hinduja & Patchin, 2013). Random sampling is effective because each student from the population pool has a chance to be selected. The large sample size creates the likelihood that the sample is representative of the population, making it more generalizable

    3.1 Deterministic models There are two types of model that we are going to look at, firstly the deterministic model and then the stochastic model. [23]A deterministic model is used in a situation where the result can be established straightforwardly from a series of conditions. It has no stochastic elements and both the input and the outputs are determined conclusively. On the other hand a stochastic model is one where the cause and effect relationship is stochastically or randomly determined

    Diversity of species along an environmental gradient on the Henderson Levee Abstract Habitats that contain an environmental gradient, such as the Henderson Levee, attribute to a diverse speciation of plants. There are multiple factors that determine the assortment of species along a disturbance gradient, including competition and the availability of nutrients, water, and light. This paper focuses on the differences in diversity and composition of species in response to an environmental gradient

    Brown and Wahlberg designed a study in which they intended to demonstrate an independent causal relationship between motivation and achievement (Brown & Wahlberg, 1993). They purported to have devised a study with a “randomized assignment of students to conditions eliciting different degrees of motivation” (Brown & Wahlberg, 1993, p. 134). The question for the researchers remained what is the effect of “experimentally manipulated motivational conditions on elementary math scores” (Brown & Wahlberg
