It was this basic trait that separated Adams from the ranks of professional historians and led him to commit time and time again what was his most serious offense against the historical method -- namely, the tendency to assume the truth of an hypothesis before submitting it to the test of facts.

The hypothesis was tested and confirmed for sound waves by the Dutch scientist Christophorus Buys Ballot in 1845.

That is, the observation is framed in terms of the theory that also contains the hypothesis it is meant to verify or falsify ( though of course the observation should not be based on an assumption of the truth or falsity of the hypothesis being tested ).

Thomas Kuhn denied that it is ever possible to isolate the hypothesis being tested from the influence of the theory in which the observations are grounded.

In some fields, noise means unwanted information or data that is not relevant to the hypothesis or theory being investigated or tested.

An example might be the hypothesis that " if I release this ball, it will fall to the floor ": this suggestion can then be tested by carrying out the experiment of letting go of the ball, and observing the results.

This hypothesis has been successfully tested with animal tissue ( pig ) and is consistent with evidence recovered from cases of human combustion.

Clermont-Ferrand was the home of mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal who tested Evangelista Torricelli's hypothesis concerning the influence of gas pressure on liquid equilibrium.

This is counter to one of the main tenets of the scientific method, that of the hypothetico-deductive method, where the manipulation of the variable in an experiment is dictated by the hypothesis being tested.

Since then, this hypothesis has been tested using the McDonald-Kreitman test, and has not been supported in all species.

Hrdy's PhD thesis tested the hypothesis that overcrowding causes infanticide in langur colonies.

If the tested number n is composite, the strong liars a coprime to n are contained in a proper subgroup of the group, which means that if we test all a from a set which generates, one of them must be a witness for the compositeness of n. Assuming the truth of the generalized Riemann hypothesis ( GRH ), it is known that the group is generated by its elements smaller than O (( log n )< sup > 2 </ sup >), which was already noted by Miller.

tested the following hypothesis: “ If youth culture serves to help adolescents deal with problems of vulnerability and finiteness, then reminders of mortality should lead to increased allegiance to cultural practices and beliefs of the youth .” Their results supported their hypothesis and the results of previous studies, suggesting that youth culture is, in fact, a culture.

Now omitting for a moment some recent developments we can say the Saxon Shore hypothesis of Lappenberg and Kemble has undergone virtual eclipse in this century.

While other conditions might be even more effective in bringing about a change from immobility to mobility in Kohnstamm reactivity, it is our hypothesis that all such conditions would have as a common factor the capacity to induce an attitude in the subject which enabled him to divorce himself temporarily from feelings of responsibility for his behavior.

In contrast to this voluntary-control explanation for nonreactivity given by the Kohnstamm-positive subjects, the Kohnstamm-negative subjects offered an involuntary-control hypothesis to explain nonreactivity.

In this case, if a proof uses this statement, researchers will often look for a new proof that doesn't require the hypothesis ( in the same way that it is desirable that statements in Euclidean geometry be proved using only the axioms of neutral geometry, i. e. no parallel postulate.

Was the notion of " effective calculability " to be ( i ) an " axiom or axioms " in an axiomatic system, or ( ii ) merely a definition that " identified " two or more propositions, or ( iii ) an empirical hypothesis to be verified by observation of natural events, or ( iv ) or just a proposal for the sake of argument ( i. e. a " thesis ").

According to Needham, though there is no way of answering the question of whether the crossbow first arose among the cultures neighboring ancient China before the rise of Chinese culture in their midst, or whether it spread outwards from China to all the environing peoples, the former seems the more probable hypothesis given linguistic evidence, which posits that the Chinese word for ' crossbow ' came from an Austroasiatic language.
