This essay joins the discussion on "The Future of Comparative Politics" from a perspective of methodology, and argues that the challenges concerned in Schmitter's essay are not endemic to comparative politics but shared ones in other research fields including quantitative methods. Recent trends and ...
Introduction: On the Compatibility between Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods In this article, I examine the possibility of using TURING's concept of "imitation games" to analyze political discourse. This poses the theoretical question of identity matching. It also poses a methodological quest...
The goal was to evaluate quantitative or semi-quantitative PCR approaches for low-cost in-flight rapid identification of microorganisms that could affect crew safety. The initial phase of this project identified commercially available platforms that could be minimally modified to perform nominally in ...

Leveraging fundamental scientific principles and quantitative design to create microbiomes that perform desired functions. Syntrophy An obligately mutualistic process that is mediated by metabolite cross-feeding between two or more organisms that cannot be catalysed by one organism alone. Metaphenotypes Sets...
Sports injuries are complex, which requires quantitative and qualitative research methods to analyse the outcome so WSR provides a multidimensional approach towards healing. Future research works on both preventive and curative aspects of sports injuries is essential in the path of WSR for providing ...
To explore the RTW process we will primarily use data from in-depth interviews with selected participants (n = 16) supplemented with data from the two questionnaires.: The mixed method design allows for a more comprehensive understanding of RTW by triangulating qualitative and quantitative methods. ...

Quantitative trait loci on chromosome 4B for coleoptile length and early vigour in wheat (Triticum aestivum L The Norin-10 dwarfing genes, Rht-B1b(Rht1) and Rht-D1b(Rht2), are commonly used to reduce plant height andincrease grain yield in wheat breeding programs. ... GJ Rebetzke,R ...
However, one area in which relatively precise measurement and quantitative hypothesis testing have been substantial is that of ‘cooperative breeding,’ where individuals other than a parent or pair of parents participate in the care and rearing of dependent young. The two taxonomic groups that have...
