In publications of 1647 and 1654, Marcus van Boxhorn first described a rigid methodology for historical linguistic comparisons and proposed the existence of an Indo-European proto-language ( which he called " Scythian ") unrelated to Hebrew, but ancestral to Germanic, Greek, Romance, Persian, Sanskrit, Slavic, Celtic and Baltic languages.

The up-front cost for implementing a data warehouse using the top-down methodology is significant, and the duration of time from the start of project to the point that end users experience initial benefits can be substantial.

Wikiversity has a Lunar Boom Town project where students of all ages can collaborate with designing and revising business models and practice evaluating them to learn practical business planning techniques and methodology.

* Domain-specific modeling, a software engineering methodology for designing and developing IT systems

Information engineering ( IE ) or information engineering methodology ( IEM ) in software engineering is an approach to designing and developing information systems.

Information engineering methodology is an architectural approach to planning, analyzing, designing, and implementing applications within an enterprise.

* Responsive web design, a methodology for designing web sites that can adapt to a range of screen sizes and device types.

* Narrative Ecology A practical methodology developed to utilise narrative when creating, designing or conceptualising narrative environments.

The then Technical Director, Charles M. Richter, from 1983 to 1987, played a significant role by revamping the IE methodology as well as designing the IE software product ( User-Data ) which helped automate the IE methodology, opening the way to next generation Information Architecture.

In semiconductor design, standard cell methodology is a method of designing application-specific integrated circuits ( ASICs ) with mostly digital-logic features.

Domain-specific modeling ( DSM ) is a software engineering methodology for designing and developing systems, such as computer software.

* Design by contract, a methodology for designing computer software

Pearlman eschewed patch cord methodology for interconnecting synthesizer modules, designing instead a system of sliding matrix switches.

However, there has been considerable controversy over this as later researchers have failed to reproduce the original findings of Rauscher ( e. g. Steele, Bass & Crook, 1999 ), questioned both theory and methodology of the original study ( Fudis & Lembesis 2004 ) and suggested that the enhancing effects of music in experiments have been simply due to an increased level of arousal ( Thompson, Schellenberg & Husain, 2001 ).

Within the frames of a dynamic methodology called the scientific method, scientists set up experiments, normally with the end of determining causality in the physical world.

All thought experiments, however, employ a methodology that is a priori, rather than empirical, in that they do not proceed by observation or physical experiment.

He then proceeded to prove this hypothesis through well designed experiments, repeated numerous times to consolidate evidence, and with meticulously detailed methodology.

One of the early experiments, lauded by proponents as having improved the methodology of remote viewing testing and as raising future experimental standards, was criticized as leaking information to the participants by inadvertently leaving clues.

They created an analytical judgment methodology to replace the human judging process that was criticized in past experiments, and they released a report in 1996.

Rhine popularized the now famous methodology of using card-guessing and dice-rolling experiments in a laboratory in the hopes of finding a statistical validation of extra-sensory perception.

It argues that science should adopt a methodology based on falsifiability, because no number of experiments can ever prove a theory, but a single experiment can contradict one.

Recognition of this striking phenomenon has had a large effect on experimental design and methodology for all experiments whatsoever involving sentient subjects ( including humans ).

She highlights concerns about the methodology of Kettlewell's experiments and suggests that these issues could invalidate the results obtained, ignoring or disparaging evidence supporting natural selection while repeatedly implying that Kettlewell and his colleagues committed fraud or made careless errors.

Hooper alleges several flaws in experimental methodology, including gluing the moths in place on parts of trees where they would not naturally settle, feeding birds heavily enough to condition them to expect feeding at that point, artificially boosting recapture rates, altering experiments ( unconsciously ) to favour the expected outcome, and errors in statistical analysis.

study's conclusion that " These new data answer criticisms of earlier work and validate the methodology employed in many previous predation experiments that used tree trunks as resting sites.

Ross Granville Harrison, working at Johns Hopkins Medical School and then at Yale University, published results of his experiments from 1907 – 1910, establishing the methodology of tissue culture.

* Factors relevant: The Court defined " scientific methodology " as the process of formulating hypotheses and then conducting experiments to prove or falsify the hypothesis, and provided a nondispositive, nonexclusive, " flexible " set of " general observations " ( i. e. not a " test ") that it considered relevant for establishing the " validity " of scientific testimony:

It has been argued that experiments like this without real-world tasks have poor methodology, and produce poor results.

PEAR created an analytical judgment methodology to replace the human judging process that was criticized in past experiments.

Popper instead proposed that science should adopt a methodology based on falsifiability for demarcation, because no number of experiments can ever prove a theory, but a single experiment can contradict one.

Haralick's research has helped develop sophisticated algorithmic and statistical methodology for Torah code experiments, methodology that he claims can differentiate between the tables that are depicted as encodings in books like Moby Dick and War and Peace from those encodings that occur in the Torah text.

This was before even rudimentary scientific methods such as control groups — much less double-blind experiments — existed, statistical methodology for applications in human behavior and medical research did not emerge during the lifetime of Cotton.
