Verify that you've accomplished all the parts of your assignment so that you can properly address them in the conclusion. Take a few moments to make a list of what you're supposed to demonstrate or learn in the experiment. To make sure your conclusion is consistent with the rest of your report, revisit your lab report's introduction. This is a good tactic to help you brainstorm exactly what you'd like to say in your conclusion. Start mapping out the different elements of your conclusion by using the RERUN method. The RERUN method can be a useful structure overall for a short lab report, but it is especially useful for providing a conclusion to your report that reviews the experiment's important components. RERUN stands for: Restate: Restate the lab experiment by describing the assignment. Explain: Explain the purpose of the lab experiment. What were you trying to figure out or discover? Talk briefly about the procedure you followed to complete the lab. Results: Explain your results. Confirm whether or not your hypothesis was supported by the results. Uncertainties: Account for uncertainties and errors. Explain, for example, if there were other circumstances beyond your control that might have impacted the experiment's results. New: Discuss new questions or discoveries that emerged from the experiment. The RERUN method is a good start, but there may be other components that you should include. It's a good idea to talk about what you've learned in the experiment. You might also want to situate your reports within the overall research field, or how you can relate the findings to concepts you're learning in class. Your assignment may also have specific questions that need to be answered. Make sure you answer these fully and coherently in your conclusion.

When water evaporates, it leaves the salt behind in your tank and it will increase your salinity. Use fresh distilled water that has been heated to the temperature of your aquarium to replace any lost water. Mark the tank at the top where the water level should be so you know how much water to add back in. Water needs to be changed and replaced every 2 weeks to remove filth and chemicals. Use a water siphon to remove 20% of the water from your tank and replace it with the same amount of heated saltwater. Alternatively, clean the tank weekly by removing 10% of the water once per week. When you're mixing saltwater for a water change, make sure your solution has the same salinity as your tank. A stronger or weaker solution will raise or lower your tank's salinity respectively. Mix and heat a saltwater solution 1 day before you perform a water change on your tank. Over time, salt deposits will form on the sides of your tank. The salt is removed from your water and will lower your salinity. Add a saltwater solution to your tank to raise the salinity back to the levels you need for your tank.

Your German Shepherd may have a hard time pumping blood throughout his body if his aorta is deformed. The aorta is the main artery leaving the heart. If the valve into the aorta is narrowed, as in AS, a backpressure is created in the heart making your dog work harder to circulate blood. Medication is the most common treatment for AS, which treats the irregular heart rhythm and may include antibiotics to prevent infection. Surgery is not recommended. Your German Shepherd may have a heart deformity that's causing a heart murmur or another health condition (like problems eating or with blood circulation). These deformities may include: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA): This is a temporary blood vessel in a fetal puppy that should close shortly after he's born. If it stays open, blood may bypass your dog's lungs. Vascular ring anomaly (also known as persistent right aortic arch): This is another blood vessel that should close before your dog is born. If it stays open after birth, the vessel traps your dog's esophagus which makes it hard for him to swallow food down into his stomach. Mitral or tricuspid valve disease: These valves separate the heart's atria from the ventricles. If they don't fit perfectly together, then blood can leak in the wrong direction, causing a heart murmur. If your dog has abnormalities in the heart muscle itself, he may have dilated or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. With Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), the heart muscle tires and becomes baggy. With hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the heart muscle thickens, causing the chambers to get smaller and hold less blood. Treatment usually focuses on improving your dog's diet and exercise habits. Most vets don't recommend surgery unless your German Shepherd develops congestive heart failure. Older German Shepherds are prone to a vascular tumor (hemangiosarcoma) that attacks the vessels lining the heart. This tumor is the most common type in dogs and usually isn't noticed until it gets big enough to cause complications. Your dog may have abdominal swelling, irregular heartbeat, and anemia. Treatment for hemangiosarcoma is difficult. Veterinarians usually recommend chemotherapy and possibly draining the site of the tumor. Because the tumor is on the heart, treatment may only be able to add a few months to your dog's life.

People who have dry brittle nails may want to wait a while before getting acrylics done. If you have dry, brittle nails or if the person who you are giving acrylics to has dry brittle nails, then waiting until the nails improve might be a good idea. Try waiting a few days for the nails to repair themselves. During this time, do not apply any polish to the nails. Allow them to breath and grow. Acrylic nails can get dirty more easily than short nails, so you will need to make sure that you clean them daily. Wash your hands with a nails brush once per day or any time they get dirty. To use a nail brush, apply a bit of soap and warm water to your hands. Then, use the nail brush to clean around the edges of your nails and under the tips. Dry your hands and nails thoroughly after you wash them. Inspect all of the nails daily as well to check for any signs of infection, such as redness, warmth or puffiness. Whenever you have to do something that might damage your nails or expose them to excess water or dirt, put on a pair of vinyl or latex gloves. This will help to protect the nails from damage.
