Researchers do not have the resources or time to repeat others' experiments to test whether they are valid; and in many cases we rely on data coming from other fields – often data that we cannot easily evaluate on our own.
Research on the medical uses of marijuana is scheduled to begin early next year, for the first time in nearly two decades, now that the government has approved new experiments to test whether smoking it can help patients who have multiple sclerosis or who suffer from pain in their limbs as a result of AIDS.
To that end, the Royal Society, Britain's oldest scientific academy, has published a series of papers in its Philosophical Transactions outlining some of the options, and suggesting a few experiments to test whether they would work.Transactional analysisBroadly, these ideas fall into two categories.
So the team designed experiments to test whether the city environment had spurred evolution.
Other experiments to test whether the neutrino is, weirdly, its own antiparticle may be feasible only if the hierarchy is inverted.
We designed experiments to test whether ASIC3 was necessary for the development of both primary and secondary mechanical hyperalgesia that develops after joint inflammation.
When Laura Dugan, a neurologist at Washington University in St . Louis heard that buckyballs absorb free radicals, she designed experiments to test whether or not buckyballs could slow down nerve cell death.
Nasal-wash samples, collected at 3 dpi from ferrets at passage 10, were used in transmission experiments to test whether airborne-transmissible virus was present in the virus quasi-species.
We used two-choice playback experiments to test whether female preferences for leading male advertisement call stimuli were enhanced or suppressed, respectively, by visual stimuli co-localized with leading or lagging call elements.
We designed experiments to test whether the species-specific targeting possessed biological function and found that expression of miR-378a-5p miR-378a-5p miR-378a-5proliferation, migration, andecreasedn, resulting in inhibition of tumor growth.
To investigate the functional relationship between Trak1 and the mitochondrial fusion and fission machinery, we performed experiments to test whether inhibiting mitochondrial fission with the dominant-negative Drp1K38A mutant or promoting mitochondrial fusion by mitofusin overexpression can ameliorate the mitochondrial fragmentation phenotype of Trak1 depletion.
