As identified by both the scoping and in-depth review, expansion of the methodology to include country-specific search terms, additional cadres of providers, and both qualitative and quantitative methods is necessary.
Dr. Ben Goertzel, artificial intelligence researcher behind OpenCog, had this to say: "I think that as brain-computer interfacing, neuroscience and AGI develop, we will gradually gain a better understanding of consciousness — but this may require an expansion of the scientific methodology itself".
Nowadays, with the expansion of Internet, there is a need of methodologies and software tools to ease the development of applications where distributed homogeneous entities can participate.
Despite recent expansion of genome-wide association studies, methodologies for statistical analysis of the resulting data are still lagging behind.
In addition to poor yield, shortage of HLA-matched cord blood samples has stimulated the development of methodologies to allow ex vivo HSC expansion.
With the rapid expansion of the use of record linkage methodologies for undertaking research, validating the quality of fields such as these, with the potential to adjust analyses for observable patterns in inconsistent and under-recording has the potential to increase the quality of research undertaken using administrative data.
Despite the clinical need to avoid the use of xenobiotic agents (foetal calf serum, cholera toxin) and cells (murine fibroblasts) the use of an irradiated mouse fibroblast feeder layer in a mitogen rich media with 10% bovine serum as first used clinically in the early 1980's [5] remains the most commonly used methodology for rapid expansion of adult keratinocytes for clinical use to this day [6].
This hypothesis is supported by recent artificial expansion of the genetic code through synthetic biology methodologies.
The reported different methodologies to model the free expansion of a balloon expandable stent should be evaluated and compared to assess the optimal free expansion methodology for finite element-based stent design.
Ozcelik (2010) has provided compelling evidence that the expansion of the scope of the Six Sigma methodology from the manufacturing to the service sector had been quite successful.
