Delphi method∗ Abstract The Delphi method was originally developed in the 50s by the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica‚ California. This approach consists of a survey conducted in two or more rounds and provides the participants in the second round with the results of the first so that they can alter the original assessments if they want to - or stick to their previous opinion. Nobody ‘looses face’ because the survey is done anonymously using a questionnaire (the first Delphis were panels)

Discussions and Scientific Explanations The first goal of this project was to first construct a calorimeter. The second goal was to measure the heat capacity of the constructed calorimeter. The third and fourth goal was to determine what reactions were to be investigated and what variations of the reactions would be studied. The two requirements that were kept in mind while creating the calorimeter were that it should be a good insulator‚ meaning that it does not allow for the transfer of heat

Research methods determine what kind of research is being done. Quantitative research involves numbers‚ qualitative research involves words‚ and both mixed methods and action research combine both quantitative research and qualitative research. The Research Process The five major objectives of educational research include exploration

participants in an experiment. Individuals may change their behavior due to the attention they are receiving from researchers rather than because of any manipulation of independent variables. The Hawthorne experiments took place from 1927 to 1933 in the Hawthorne plant of Western Electric. They wanted to test scientific management. The experiments were held by Elton Mayo‚ and a few of his colleagues. The experiments began as a series of productivity studies from a scientific management perspective

Doctors for these camps came in all shapes and sizes including former S.S. Troops‚ Women‚ and a variety of prisoner doctors. The experiments differed as much as the doctors themselves; however they stayed the same in one factor‚ medical curiosity become killing in atrocious

Lowry who developed the reagent in the 1940s. His 1951 paper describing the technique is the most-highly cited paper ever in the scientific literature‚ cited over 200‚000 times. The method combines the reactions of copper ions with the peptide bonds under alkaline conditions (the Biuret test) with the oxidation of aromatic protein residues. The Lowry method is best used with protein concentrations of 0.01–1.0 mg/mL and is based on the reaction of Cu+‚ produced by the oxidation of peptide bonds‚ with

Is it OK to use animals for scientific research? The question I am answering is if it is it OK to use animals for scientific research. this is a very open question and will need research as many people have different views and opinions. Some people may believe there is no problem with testing on animals‚ however others believe the total opposite and that it is cruel to the animal as they believe that animals have the same rights as humans. Or some people may not be interested and just not care
