acceptance of fingerprint identification in the judicial system as scientific evidence has become like expert testimony. Advances in image processing have impacted how fingerprints can be lifted without being destroyed, which has led to fingerprint evidence becoming the silent testimony leading to more conventions. In the case of the United States v. Byron C. Mitchell Criminal Action No. 96-00407, fingerprints found in the car were the scientific evidence which identified Mitchell as a participant in an
This Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority introduces basic information to familiarize the audience; it discusses what ocean acidification is and the effects of it on the Great Barrier Reef. This site focuses on four issues which consist of climate change, declining water quality, extreme weather and the impact of fishing marine debris. The author’s intention is to present an overview of the long-term effects of ocean acidification and explains the significant impacts of a changing climate on
collaborative movement by the scientific community to better understand our own genetic makeup. The U.S Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health coordinate this original 15-year plan, which are parts of the National Human Genome Research Institute. The major goals cited by these institutes is as follows: Identify all the estimated 100,000 genes in the human genome. Map the three billion chemical bases that make up human DNA. Store this mapped information in databases worldwide.
ADHD and My Family: Searching for a More Scientific Explanation My father, like many Asian immigrants, left India to pursue his educational goals in America in order to provide a better life for his family. He arrived in the U.S. with fourteen dollars in his coat pocket, a suitcase in his hands, and a will to succeed. For my father, in a place like America where opportunities were plentiful and where hard work actually paid off there was no excuse not to succeed. The practical translation of
Ethics in Research Research is one of the most successful means of obtaining a wide variety of information concerning limited or broad topics. However, abundant as this information may be, it is important to maintain an ethical outlook to all research topics. As research and its subsequent experimentations advance in light of new generations, the idea of ethics becomes a more prominent issue. Researchers must be aware of the conflicts that their research may bring about. They must know how
When I began to look up resources for this paper, I decided to first decide how I would go about finding my sources. A good place to begin to research a particular area of medical or scientific practice would be a textbook dedicated to the related field. Textbooks are generally regarded as excellent sources of information and are usually based on a lot of peer reviewe... ... middle of paper ... ...ll get smaller, if not removed entirely. At the moment there are gaps between the more subjective studies
science corroborates with the “scientific paradigm,” but for distinctive rationales: one as the embodiment of the use of the scientific method, the other as the embodiment of language. Neither of these views are wrong or even mutually exclusive; one could argue that computer science as a language is just a way to communicate the scientific method in a way that computers understand. To elaborate, scientists often construct systems which implement hypothesized information processes through computers and
it offers a large amount of useful information that will be valuable in assessing the benefits that this type of genetic modification will have for the advancement of therapeutic medicine. This article is both valid and reliable as the information it provides is relevant to my research topic. The article is found on the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute’s website, this is a highly reliable source as Johns Hopkins is a world renowned research institute who’s authors are widely published and
No doubt scientific research is being performed at a phenomenal rate worldwide. Drastic steps must be taken to keep all collected data “pure”. All findings should be collected via ethical means as mandated by standardized precepts in specific academic disciplines. How do I conduct scholarly research worth merit? What research skills have I utilized in the past? What new research skills do I need to master? In this manuscript, my quest is to address the questions cited above. As a scholar-practitioner
(1) When I heard this statistic, I realized how important the discussion of such disorders was to the sciences. 1/8th of the most productive portion of the US population suffers from an anxiety disorder. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a division of the Institutes of Health for the Federal Government, is committed to research causes and treatment of such disorders.

Sallie Baliunas of the Marshall Institute fits Altermann’s think tank scholar profile well. Regarding her involvement in the global warming debate, she has spent less time on the scholarship of global warming and more time advocating the idea that it is simply a myth. She is a senior scientist at the Marshall Institute, which supports her writing of articles against
public concern in a balanced manner” (p 19). The rationale for the policy was the belief that the media without the requirement to present information regarding controversial issues in an equitable and balanced manner would possess the power to sway public opinion in a manner that would not serve the public interest. Given that many Americans receive their information through the mainstream media like the major television networks and cable broadcasting entities, as well as newspapers such as the Washington

The success clearly depends upon individual’s compliance and the community’s willingness to provide adequate and appropriate treatment. As discussed by Editor, Raymond Goldberg and his colleagues, it has been difficult to convey the eminent need for treatment, and the proper protocol for measuring the success therein. In the ‘YES’ selection, The National Institute on Drug Abuse, acknowledges this difficulty, but also

Were you aware that genomic research has lasting beneficial effects on not only humanity, but on the climate as well? Genetic research is a scientific discovery that has been commercialized to benefit humans (Caulfield, Timothy). This scientific discovery can help humans overcome many obstacles that would otherwise impede an individual's progress. Genetic research is an invaluable discovery that enables scientists to find solutions to problems that threaten human well being. Genetic research can
Scientists learned long ago that the earth’s climate has powerfully shaped the history of humanity. However, it is only in the past few decades that research has revealed that humans have a significant influence on the climate as well. A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that since 1950, the world’s climate has been warming, primarily as a result of emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and the destruction of tropical forests. More importantly, an article titled "Global Warming" published
