What was the researcher 's purpose in conducting this study? The aim of this study was to examine oral proficiency and comprehensibility in nonnative speakers of English using suprasegmental features of accentedness. 3. What were the hypotheses/research questions? a. Would computerized analysis of the suprasegmental factors show similar results to the one that relied on subjective rating? b. What is the role of the suprasegmental factors as a unit on proficiency and comprehensibility?…

background noise, or even write a quality paper while listening to music? In this research study, I will be testing and examining why students need background noise to be…

undermine attempts by cartels to collude to raise prices and restrict output. They believe that cheating is just one facet of how a cartel can fail and not the main reason. To answer their question, Levenstein and Suslow attempt to answer four other research questions: 1. Can cartels succeed? 2. How long do cartels last? 3. What impact do cartels have? 4. What causes a cartel to break up or fail? Using a variety of quantitative evidence, Levenstein and Suslow use these questions to determine…

Memory & Its Influences My research topic of interest was enhancing memory, and the use of memory in court. The article The Dark Side of Testing Memory: Repeated Retrieval Can Enhance Eyewitness Suggestibility used for my research shows the various use of witnesses in criminal trials as eyewitnesses. These people have to use their memories in order to remember what happened at the crime scene. In order for the witnesses to be able to testify, they need to make their statement with the police,…

Research was done to identify clinical guidelines, clinical pathways, and systematic reviews. Further research was then conducted on recently published trials to provide the numerical data. Systematic reviews where assessed using AMSTAR and evidence quality was assessed using a modified GOAL scale. The evidence…

report is their upfront admission of their numerous limitations in methodology. What makes this admission appealing is they offer a way for future research to improve. In the discussion section, they state that even though there was considerable effort put into their coding, it may not be replicable. They address a solution by saying, “Future research may be devoted toward refining categories in a manner that does not compromise reliability of coding and validity of associated…

exaggerations and generalizations. Coomber questioned this logic, however, prompting his study into the reality of drug market violence. He began with a broad research question regarding violence in drug markets, but throughout his introduction he narrowed it to a more focused scope of research. The result was a clear, well defined research question with possibilities of expansion through future studies. Coomber hypothesized…

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…

information did provide a preliminary overview of the available research in this emerging…

6. Casey DM. and Scheer EC. in 1993 reported the use of several surface conditioning agents on temporary soft lining material. The three different surface materials were treated with Poly ethyl methacrylate monomer, Minute-Stain glaze, or mono-poly glaze. These different samples were compared after 30 days. Samples were analyzed with the use of scanning electron microscope. Initially the surface of all samples was intact. Fewer irregularities were seen in monopoly and Minute-Stain glaze treated…
