A Global Analysis Of Xylem Vessel Length In Woody Plants is a research paper published in the American Journal of Botany. Dr. Anna L. Jacobsen led the research efforts along with support from Dr. Pratt, Dr. Tobin, Dr. Hacke, and Dr. Ewers. The aims of their research were to explain the physiological role that xylem vessel length have on a plant 's hydraulic architecture. To effectively explain the relationship, researchers focused on a couple of key questions. First, they wanted to determine if…

There are two main types of sources used in scientific literature. These are primary and secondary sources. A primary source can be defined as original content. It is information that has been obtained via original research, experimentation, thoughts and observations. Usually a primary piece of literature is written in first person. In contrast, a secondary piece of literature is one that examines a primary source (1). A review article would be an example of a secondary piece of literature…

Research Methods Midterm Exam Guadalupe M. Flores Fullerton College If Behavioral scientists start conducting applied research only, it will concentrate on finding a specific solution. The pro about this is that budget will be more available for scientists using applied research if they stop conducting basic research studies. Basic research studies are done based on curiosity in science but the results do not have immediate application in real world. With this in mind, getting rid…

Why was your research and investigation important in advancing your knowledge on your topic? My research and investigation was important because it helped me to understand my topic, “Is Hydraulic Fracturing Environmentally Safe?” In order for me to have persuaded my audience with my claim I needed to research my topic from both points of view. Those who have researched the topic and feel that hydraulic fracturing is not environmentally safe but also those who defend and believe it is. The…

Researchers must be very careful when conducting research, especially when explaining the results of the study. Research may directly influence changes in policy, practices and behavior. The research may, in more subtle ways, change people’s knowledge, understanding and attitudes towards social issues. Many issues can arise when conducting studies. The primary concern is the safety and protection of the research participants. Protecting the participants will mean conducting a full…

There are several factors one should and should not follow in a research-based presentation in the workforce. First of all, since such presentations are based solely on research, one should assume that the topic is not a common one. For that reason, the presenter should use key phrases about the topic at hand, because it will be easier for the employees to read. The presenter can also take time to explain each phrase thoroughly, which will not cause the presentation to be drawn out. In an…

Type of Quantitative Research Question I would use a comparative research question and an experimental design for my research study. I would use a comparative research question because I am comparing two different groups and have only one dependent variable. I would use a true experimental design because I am using one control group and one experimental group. My research question is how does receiving subcutaneous injections of insulin compare to receiving insulin through an insulin pump in…

numerous texts and revising many of my old writings, I have learned various techniques to effectively organize my ideas and make them much clearer to my potential audiences. In addition, I have come to greater 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.…

desires for fundamental research. These ambitions were fueled by the complications he faced as a result of his religious family. Employing his adversity, Rowland later advanced to become a renowned scientist to revolutionize not only the design of spectroscopy but also the perception of scientific research in the late 19th century. He redirected his suppressions of the world to further develop this study of “pure science,” the understanding that science should focus on research for the…

Ethnographic Research Methodology in Practice Ethnographic research is one of the dominant methodologies in my field of study. While I have read ethnographic research studies in the past, this project gave me an opportunity to actually study how the methodology was used in different ways. To select my articles, I went to a folder I created for a project I am working on with my research advisor involving ethnicity and race talk in classrooms. After reviewing the abstracts, I selected three…
