Concomitant research and education are invaluable for patient care and medical practice in trauma. Elucidation of a foundation for the integration of training and service that can be combined with research in trauma is crucial, and every trauma case should be studied for this purpose. In this study, we investigated the unique features of trauma research to formulate a generic comprehensive mode...

After identification of an important research question and selection of an appropriate study design, waste can arise from the regulation, governance, and management of biomedical research. Obtaining regulatory and governance approval has become increasingly burdensome and disproportionate to the conceivable risks to research participants. Regulation and governance involve interventions that are...

abstract after the emergence of industrial design, there is a serious need to find solutions for industrial problems as research projects. a standard design process starts with gathering data and categorizing and analyzing them after finding a need. thus, selecting an appropriate research methodology is one of the basic decisions and steps to do a research and achieve the aims after finding eac...

The Keck Virtual Factory Lab (KVFL) was created to be a platform for computationally-based research on industrial logistics systems, and currently engages nine faculty and over a dozen graduate students. Initially, the KVFL has focused on warehousing and the development of integrated computational tools to support warehouse design and optimization, and warehousing-related courses. Recent collab...

One of the biggest challenges the novice researcher faces is determining just where and how to start her or his research. During the research design stage, a novice researcher must take into consideration three key factors: a) literature; b) research-worthy problem; and c) data. While the role of the problem and literature in research has been explored previously, inadequate attention has been ...

This article provides instructors with guidelines for teaching simple experimental design for the comparison of two treatment groups. Two designs with specific examples are discussed along with common misconceptions that undergraduate students typically bring to the experiment design process. Features of experiment design that maximize power and minimize the effects of interindividual variation...

This paper addresses some of the specificities of perception research in the field. Fieldwork preparation and experimental design, as well as more technical aspects of this type of phonetic research, are reviewed and illustrated with examples taken from the author’s research in Southeast Asia.

Many research designs require the assessment of inter-rater reliability (IRR) to demonstrate consistency among observational ratings provided by multiple coders. However, many studies use incorrect statistical procedures, fail to fully report the information necessary to interpret their results, or do not address how IRR affects the power of their subsequent analyses for hypothesis testing. Thi...

The statistics of steps and dwell times in reversible molecular motors differ from those of cycle completion in enzyme kinetics. The reason is that a step is only one of several transitions in the mechanochemical cycle. As a result, theoretical results for cycle completion in enzyme kinetics do not apply to stepping data. To allow correct parameter estimation, and to guide data analysis and exp...
