The lack of scientific unanimity on the effects of radiation is due in part to insufficient data covering large population groups, from which agreed-on generalizations could be drawn.

assemble and maintain pertinent and current scientific literature, both domestic and foreign, and issue bibliographical data with respect thereto ; ;

The majority of scientific contributions by amateur astronomers are in the area of data collection.

With more advanced equipment, but still cheap in comparison to professional setups, amateur astronomers can measure the light spectrum emitted from astronomical objects, which can yield high-quality scientific data if the measurements are performed with due care.

Although CCDs are not the only technology to allow for light detection, CCD image sensors are widely used in professional, medical, and scientific applications where high-quality image data is required.

The main remaining area of active hardware design and research for scientific computing is for high-speed data transmission systems to connect mass market CPUs.

Nereus spent over 10 hours at the bottom of the Challenger Deep and measured a depth of at, while sending live video and data back to its mothership RV Kilo Moana at the surface and collecting geological and biological samples from the Challenger Deep bottom with its manipulator arm for further scientific analysis.

The key elements of Hubbard's so-called science don't seem testable, yet he repeatedly claims that he is asserting only scientific facts and data from many experiments.

The scientific community considers that Duesberg's arguments are the result of cherry-picking predominantly outdated scientific data and selectively ignoring evidence in favour of HIV's role in AIDS.

In scientific use the term empirical refers to the gathering of data using only evidence that is observable by the senses or in some cases using calibrated scientific instruments.

Accurate analysis of data using standardized statistical methods in scientific studies is critical to determining the validity of empirical research.

Since the overwhelming majority of scientists accept the modern evolutionary synthesis as the best explanation of current data, the term is seldom used in the scientific community ; to say someone is a scientist implies acceptance of evolutionary views, unless specifically noted otherwise.

NASA engineers were able to recover the damaged tape recorder electronics, and Galileo continued to return scientific data until it was deorbited in 2003, performing one last scientific experiment — a measurement of the moon Amalthea's mass as the spacecraft swung by it.

Climate scientists, especially in the US, have reported official and oil-industry pressure to censor or suppress their work and hide scientific data, with directives not to discuss the subject in public communications.

IBM had two model categories: one ( 701, 704, 709, 7090, 7040 ) for engineering and scientific use, and one ( 702, 705, 7080, 7070, 7010 ) for commercial or data processing use.

Rather, this task is left to another body established by UNCLOS, the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf, which examines scientific data submitted by coastal states that claim a broader reach.

Junk science is a term used in U. S. political and legal disputes that brands an advocate's claims about scientific data, research, or analyses as spurious.

Tobacco industry documents reveal that Philip Morris executives conceived of the " Whitecoat Project " in the 1980s as a response to emerging scientific data on the harmfulness of second-hand smoke.

The goal of the Whitecoat Project, as conceived by Philip Morris and other tobacco companies, was to use ostensibly independent " scientific consultants " to spread doubt in the public mind about scientific data through the use of terms such as " junk science ".

Another inspiration came from a totally different kind of source ; the scientific progress at the time in such diverse areas as biology, astronomy, geology, and physics, all contributed to make Lovecraft see the human race seem even more insignificant, powerless, and doomed in a materialistic and mechanical universe.

In subsequent years, Wren continued with his work with the Royal Society, although after the 1680s his scientific interests seem to have waned: no doubt his architectural and official duties absorbed more time.

However, the investigations, bizarre as they may seem, did have a sound scientific basis since Rivers especially was looking at the protopathic and epicritic from an evolutionary perspective.

From the lack of precision in the descriptions, it would seem that Aratus was neither a mathematician nor observer or, at any rate, that in this work he did not aim at scientific accuracy.

In a summary of scientific research into creativity Michael Mumford suggested: " Over the course of the last decade, however, we seem to have reached a general agreement that creativity involves the production of novel, useful products " ( Mumford, 2003, p. 110 ).

" The foundation of the study of Medicine, as of all scientific inquiry, lies in the belief that every natural phenomenon, trifling as it may seem, has a fixed and invariable meaning "

This is one possible way of interpreting biblical scriptures, such as Genesis, that seem to be in opposition to scientific theories, such as evolution.

Astronomer Phil Plait suggested this may be a case of using an overly precise figure to make the ISR seem more scientific than they actually are.

: " Ear candling appears to be popular and is heavily advertised with claims that could seem scientific to lay people.

Most seem to focus on the confusion of conceptual metaphors arising in the process of learning science and negotiating acceptance of scientific truth in the larger culture.

So for science it's very essential that we take a position that through the scientific method that keeps us away of all the irrationalities that seem to dominate human activities.

Again, as perplexing as this position might seem to a traditional social scientist, such a proposition is consistent with ethnomethodology's understanding of " member's methods ", and has philosophical standing when looked at in terms of certain lines of philosophical thought regarding the philosophy of science ( Polyani: 1974 ; Kuhn: 1996 ; Feyerabend: 1975 / 2010 ), and the study of the actual practices of scientific procedure ( Lynch: 1993 ).

The books seem to be set in an alternate, " timeless " world with stylistic similarities to both the 19th century and the 1930s, though with contemporary, and seemingly anachronistic scientific knowledge.

Philosopher Thomas Nagel has supported Sokal and Bricmont, describing their book as consisting largely of " extensive quotations of scientific gibberish from name-brand French intellectuals, together with eerily patient explanations of why it is gibberish ," and agreeing that " there does seem to be something about the Parisian scene that is particularly hospitable to reckless verbosity.

However objective it may seem, even the scientific framework for defining the " two sexes " is a cultural construction.

Noam Chomsky distinguishes between problems, which seem solvable, at least in principle, through scientific methods, and mysteries, which do not seem solvable, even in principle.

At first glance, Pikaia does not seem like a vertebrate ancestor, and in fact there is a lot of debate regarding the topic in scientific circles.

They seem to feel, many of them, that all we need to do is to consolidate our scientific gains.

For these gains seem to me puny, and scientific psychology seems to me ill-founded.

Through scientific excavations of ancient sites, archaeologists have recently obtained a great deal of Neolithic data for re-evaluation and reconstruction of our past, indicating neither androcracy nor gynecocracy, but rather equalitarianism, i. e., women as priestesses and heads of clans seem to have played leading roles in all aspects of life, descent appears to have been traced through the mother, therefore men were subordinate.

Astrology is a folk taxonomy, while astronomy uses a scientific classification system, although both involve observations of the stars and celestial bodies and both terms seem equally scientific, with the former meaning " the teachings about the stars " and the latter " the rules about the stars ".
