Online Restaurant Reviews, Race, and Gentrification.” The researchers of this study are Sharon Zukin, Scarlett Lindeman, and Laurie Hurson of City University of New York. The main research question for this study goes as follows: What are the connections between restaurant reviews, race, and gentrification? In order to answer this question the researchers used a more qualitative research methodology. Specifically, they did a “close analysis of the language…

detected within the cells. Warburg knew that respiration was damaged or insufficient in cancer cells by detecting the byproduct, lactate. This doesn’t require a complete investigation into the origins of life itself. “It is my opinion that many cancer researchers, through their propensity to focus on gene mutations and mechanisms of action, have made the quest for cancer management far more complicated then it actually is. We have turned the cancer problem into an exercise in cybernetics with no…

Stroop Effect: Color and Word Naming John Ridley (J.R.) Stroop, as described by C. Macleod (1991), was born into a farming community and was not expected to live past infancy, so he was sheltered by his family to protect him. Due to not having to do heavy farm work, Stroop focused on his education and graduated top of his class. He eventually received his Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology. Stroop performed the Stroop effect experiment as his dissertation, which was then actually not rediscovered…

The scholar fraternity in mid 20th century recognized the importance of research paper.1 Presently researchers worldwide find themselves under increasing pressure to publish or perish.2 Researchers struggle to publish in international English language journals, that are included in globally respected indexes such as the PubMed.3 The pressure to publish in English-language journals has increased even for scholars in non-English medium academic environments.1 The cost of publication plays a key…

In one study, researchers performed an experiment based on their knowledge of AD’s association with beta-amyloid oligomers, inflammation of nerve cells, and oxidative stress. These researchers previously found that a substance called alpha-tocopherol quinine (a-TQ) has ability to protect against these particular associations with AD (Ling, 109). Therefore…

Researchers have long debated on what constitutes a gang and there is little consensus as to what constitutes a gang (Esbensen et al 2001; Horowitz, 1990; Joseph et al., 2011; Petersen, 2000; Thrasher, 1927). This is made complex by the multiplicity of definitions which exists which consequently influences the ability to accurately determine the prevalence of gangs (Jones et al, 2004; Petersen, 2000). Moreover, “not only are there different definitions of gangs, but most researchers have defined…

Researchers are looking into the Closing Time Effect which is the phenomenon that explains the increase in attractiveness throughout the course of a night out. In this study, researchers went to the same Sydney pub on four consecutive nights. They started with a sample of 166 participants that were then narrowed down based on factors in a baseline questionnaire such as drug use that day or an unclear relationship status. As the study was trying to look at this effect as it relates to those in a…

capabilities? Can they speak like us? Many people may say no, but researchers have a different answer in mind. A well-known and long-kept theory says that chimps, monkeys, and gorillas do not talk because they are incapable of creating sounds for the skill, but new research has suggested that non-human primates, including monkeys, actually have the vocal capability to produce intelligible human speech. Using X-ray videos, the researchers captured and traced movements of a macaque’s (a species…

consideration. The researcher takes assumptions and emotions into and generates emotions in the field about the researched. Kleinman and Copp (1993) suggest that if a researcher experiences negative emotions about their participants they would prefer to ignore, or repress those feelings, since to admit them might constitute a threat to their professional and personal identity. But these can be the very feelings (anger and disappointment perhaps) that could help the researcher to understand their…

All colleges in the United States who offer doctorate degrees have an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The purpose of this protocol is for the protection of human subjects used in research studies. During the dissertation process, the third milestone is the IRB application and approval process. Once the Dissertation Proposal is approved, the doctoral candidate must submit the IRB application for approval from the IRB. Because data collection requires the approval from the IRB, the doctoral…
