Overview Scientific inquiry rests on a set of beliefs that scientists share. Given that behavior analysis is the science of human behavior, these assumptions guide us in how we approach our work as behavior analysts and researchers. For this assignment, you will explore the philosophical assumptions of science and behavior analysis, which include selectionism, determinism, empiricism, experimentation, replication, parsimony, and philosophic doubt. Preparation Review the relevant sections of Chapters 1 and 2 of your Applied Behavior Analysis textbook. Instructions Use the Philosophical Assumptions Template [DOCX] Download Philosophical Assumptions Template [DOCX]to complete the following: Explain the assumption and why it is important to scientific inquiry. With a scholarly tone, use your own words for your explanation and do not use direct quotes from the textbook. (2–3 sentences per assumption.) Provide an example that illustrates the importance of the assumption. Note: Since you are using your Applied Behavior Analysis textbook as a reference, be sure to include a reference to the textbook. There is an example APA-formatted reference provided in the template for you to follow. Refer to the Philosophical Assumptions rubric to ensure you understand the grading criteria for this assignment.
Instructions Watch the BIC Sustainability video available from YuJa Media in this course or the link below AND the Sustainability video from class on last Thursday or the link below. Answer the following questions: Which of the three pillars of sustainability (environmental, social economic) do you find the most compelling for looking at and finding solutions to environmental issues/problems? Why? Explain your choice in your own words and support your answers using concepts/ideas from this first topic/Chapter. How might your chosen pillar of environmental sustainability relate to your major, academic degree, or chosen profession? Explain and discuss.

Hypothetical Home A single-family, detached home has the following characteristics: Dimensions (40'x20'10', as shown in the figure above) 6 single-glazed, wood-framed glass windows that are each 2' x 4' The walls, ceiling and door have an R value of 4 (ft2 °F hr)/Btu The ceiling has an additional 1-inch polystyrene insulation layer The temperature in the home is maintained at 68°F by a natural gas-fueled heater, which runs at 80% efficiency For the problems in this assignment, we'll work with the following assumptions: There is no heat loss through the floor/foundation to the ground The house is well-sealed and there are no leaks The temperature outdoors is a constant 10°F Heating costs 1. If natural gas costs $16.28 per thousand cubic feet, how much would it cost to heat this home over your hypothetical month? Weatherization 2. How much heat would be lost through the windows, ceiling and walls if the home described above was retrofit so that: The walls and ceiling now have an R value of 19 (the original 1-inch polystyrene insulationlayer on the ceiling was replaced so the total value for both the walls and ceiling is now 19). The windows are replaced with argon-filled, triple-glazed windows with low E coating (see Table 4.2 on Page 2 of this assignment). 3. How much natural gas (in cubic feet) would be needed to heat the now-weatherized home for a month? 4. With a natural gas cost of $16.28 per thousand cubic feet, what would be the cost to heat the weatherized home for a month? Heat Pumps 5. Assume that the natural gas heater in the hypothetical home is replaced by an air-source heat pump with 300% efficiency. With 300% efficiency, the heat pump puts out 3 times as much heat as it uses in electricity. Using the conversion factor of 3412.14 Btu = 1kwh, How many kWh of electricity would be needed to heat the unweatherized home (described on Page 1) over the same month? How much would this cost if electricity is $0.23 per kwh? 6. How many kWh of electricity would be needed to heat the retrofitted, weatherized home (described in Question 2) over the same month? How much would this cost if electricity is $0.23 per kwh?

You will have 6 paragraphs for this paper as follows: Give a brief introductory paragraph of your topic to introduce the readers to your paper. As you write, you can include statements such as “In this paper, I will present more information on [enter your subject.]” The introductory paragraph should not include too many specific details. What resources and agencies are currently associated with your topic of choice to influence positive change in the world today? What types of preventive measures and solutions have been or should be associated with your topic of choice to reduce health hazards? What types of health risks have been or could be associated with your topic of choice? Have humans played a role in your topic of choice (negative or positive)? If so, is this due to economics, the built-environment, population expansion or something else? Give a brief conclusion of your paper to wrap up for the reader what they just read. If you have a specific point you want to reiterate as to the importance of your topic, this would need to be included in this paragraph.
