Moises Velasquez-Manoff — a journalist and also, as it happens, a patient — has fallen hard for an idea known as the hygiene hypothesis, whose implications, if followed out along a widely branching chain of extended supposition, threaten to unravel much of what we think we know about health and disease.
Results are discussed in terms of the model matching hypothesis and implications for the comprehensive study of violent game play, including the importance of enjoyment and frustration, are also discussed.
The proposed Linguistic Niche Hypothesis has implications for answering the broad question of why languages differ in the way they do and makes empirical predictions regarding language acquisition capacities of children versus adults.
Had we found evidence to support our original hypothesis, the implications for the reduction of population level antibiotic use could have been important, possibly suggesting that further, experimental, research into the promotion of homeopathic medicines as an alternative was warranted.
Alternative hypotheses and implications for the design of future evaluation experiments are discussed.
Empirical hypotheses have implications for experience only in conjunction with various other background assumptions, e.g., about the circumstances of perception.
We analyze previously unpublished data to refine and expand upon earlier hypotheses regarding implications for hominin anatomy and social behavior.
Let us then represent scientific hypotheses as implications of the form e 1,…, e n → P, where e 1, …, e n represent the causally relevant environmental factors and P the phenomenon under investigation.
Results are used to predict the bending regimes of various in vivo cytoskeletal bundles that are not easily accessible to experiment and to generate hypotheses regarding implications of the isolated behavior on in vivo bundle function.
Studies of known actinides and discoveries of further transuranic elements provided more data in support of this point of view, but the phrase "actinide hypothesis" (the implication being that "hypothesis" is something that has not been decisively proven) remained in active use by scientists through the late 1950s.
