Nine thousand banks failed during the months following the stock market crash of 1929. It is far too simplistic to view the stock market crash as the single cause of the Great Depression. A healthy economy can recover from such a contraction.

Answer:

What made the Great Depression "Great" was the government response. Constant changes the regulatory environment, tax increases, massive deficits, and failure to let the market correct paralyzed the economy in its depressed state for 15 years.  

Both were caused primarily by an over expansion of credit rooted in loose money supply. The monetary response to the current recession has been different. Rather than tightening to force the market to bottom, the Fed has maintained low rates in an effort to re-inflate the bubble conditions. Hoover/Bush & FDR/Obama responses are similar as all tried to spend their way out of the problem.  

1929 crash:  

After WWI, Britain reset the pound to the pre-WWI level even though their money supply had far exceeded pre-WWI levels. In an effort to slow the flight of gold from Britain, the US federal reserve (led by Benjamin Strong) lowered interest rates. As always, artificially low interest rates caused massive distortions in asset values. Money flowed into the stock market and people who would not normally have been stockholders bought stocks in place of other investments that would have yielded better interest rates absent fed policy. Margin was used excessively because the real cost of leveraging was distorted by fed interest rate policy.  

The fed continually lowered interest rates all the way into 1929. When the bubble popped, they tightened policy and raised rates. This contributed the deflationary spiral; however, the deflationary spiral could not have been as severe without the loose policy during the bubble.  

2008 crash:  

Beginning in the early 1990s, the federal reserve (led by Alan Greenspan) lowered rates while monitoring consumer prices as indicators of inflation. They ignored bubbles in the stock market directly caused by their inflationary monetary policy. When the stock bubble popped, they lowered rates further and pushed misdirected investment towards other assets - most commonly housing.  

After the attacks of 9/11/2001, the fed pushed rates to 0 (long term rates were effectively negative and continue to be).

If the results of a study do not support a hypothesis, it means that the experiment failed.
ladessa [460]
If the results of a experiment do not support the hypothesis this does not necessarily mean that the experiment was a failure or that the hypothesis was wrong, but simply that the test that was conducted did not find results that were significant and also showed that the "null hypothesis" was incorrect. Therefore, if a hypothesis is shown to be inaccurate by a particular experiment the issue might need further experimentation because it could be wrong or it could not, but this does not mean the experiment was a failure. In fact proving a hypothesis can be informative for conducting further experiments to conclude what caused the phenomena if not the original hypothesis.

What is the primary purpose of the "3rs" concept from russell and burch?
Elan Coil [88]
The 3Rs by Russell and Burch are known to be the "alternative methods" to improve the treatment of laboratory animals, at the same time to advance the quality of science that uses animals for studies.

The 3Rs are Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement.  Replacement is defined as minimizing the pain and suffering of the animals used in research. Reduction is for reducing the number of animals being used, and using healthier animals. Replacement is using alternative to animals such as tissue cultures and computer models.
