Quantitative trait locus

of the mineral, feldspar, were measured for mass and volume in order to calculate their density. Many of the mineral tests yielded qualitative data, such as color, streak, luster, and crystal shape, which can be subjective. Other tests produced quantitative data, whose outcome of density is measured the same by anyone. Mineral density is determined by the specific chemical compound, because the mass and volume are dependent on the weight of the atoms. In this…

Personal knowledge is a more narrowed down discussion since it refers to the knowledge of a single person specifically and is mostly gained through personal experience. Throughout this essay I’m going to…

Many areas of scientific research require strict, empirical parameters for measurement. Social work research is unique in that it is largely human based and individualized based on many uncontrollable factors (W&G cite). While this allows for proper evaluation of individual circumstances, it forces a social work researcher to alter criteria for which social work theories are considered. Social theories differ from traditional scientific theories in that they are abstract in order to account for…
