Basic research

Reading journal articles for my classes, I was fascinated by the challenges and problem-solving process of research in general. Since Cooper Union has limited resources for research as a small engineering college, I was delighted to learn of this opportunity. With such passion in research, I was able to have an independent study course in school with one of the biological engineering professors and researched the DNA synthesis process. As a member of an International Genetically Engineered…

This source is definitely good for those who seek to develop a new medical diagnostic test, or clinical therapy. In conducting the research paper I intend to develop new medical diagnostic tests and with this information it is easy to find solutions to biomedical engineering problems. It can help answer any unclear questions a researcher may have about approaching a research topic related to medicine and its applications. Ruvinov, E., Sapir, Y., Cohen, S. (2012). Cardiac tissue engineering:…

Since the corporations are funding the research or the trial, the public is worried the corporation will have influence over the outcome of the study. Theoretically, a pharmaceutical company paying for a study of a new depression medication, might influence the study 's design or interpretation in ways that subtly favor the drug that they 'd like to market. Aforementioned author Jennifer Washburn reports, “Research on secondhand smoke conducted by researchers with industry ties…

class, I found this summer that the fastest and most effective way to sharpen my skills is to apply them to real world problems. In the span of a single summer, I became comfortable with the basics of R, Matlab, and Python. I learned to use R and Matlab for data analysis/handling through the QAI course and my research with Professor Rothschild. After I left campus, I spent some time learning Python at an introductory level, and am now in CS 111 to solidify those skills. On top of learning about…

Ethics Review With any research comes risk. Lindell & Perry (2004, p. 1) states “risk can be defined broadly as a condition in which there is a possibility that persons or property could experience adverse consequences”. Many action research (AR) studies encounter minimal exposure to any harmful information or risks to the participants. According to The Belmont Report “even avoiding harm requires learning what is harmful; and in the process of obtaining this information, a person may be exposed…

Empirical research in the field of criminal justice is based on experimentation or observation of evidence, which is usually conducted to answer a specific question or test a hypothesis. Empirical research in the criminal justice field is vital because the research provides background information for policy negotiations, a framework for understanding the problem, as well as creating solutions that may occur. We must also understand that empirical research does not always coincide with what one…

The Building Blocks of Frederick Tudor’s Ice Trading Business The development of refrigeration technology started in the 1800’s, and the first commercial refrigerator appeared in the 1900’s. However, people who had access to ice used it to preserve food long before the existence of refrigeration technology. In addition, in the early 1800’s, a businessman named Frederick Tudor established an ice trading company that shipped ice to central parts of the world where ice was difficult to obtain.…

haven’t noticed, but they are using critical thinking. The scientist must constantly ask themselves plenty of questions, whether it’s to know both sides of the story, knowing the new evidence, and basically looking what’s right in front of them and use basic logic. When a scientist is making an observation, they need to ‘ask questions’ and gather all the information which is using critical thinking. All in all, when using the scientific method, critical thinking would be used throughout the…

appreciate the many components such as research and brainstorming that come together to form a well-written and thoughtful paper. Instead of becoming formulaic or conventional, my writing has transformed into my own unique expression and I 've begun to develop my own personal style. Overall, throughout the course of this semester, I have both discovered more about the hidden decision-making behind writing and have sharpened my focus when…

some point involve the research process. There are many terms that are used in research that can be very useful. These new terms can easily apply to my current career as I research ALCO sensors. These terms can also help by being an asset when evaluating and analyzing research studies or data. By not taking the time and learning about this new terms can affect me by not fully understanding the research process and having a negative effect on my own person research. The research process is made…
