I love the scientific method: pose a question, do some research, create a theory, gather data/experiment to test the theory, draw conclusions and share the results.
Furthermore, the method poses a possibility of miniaturization and integration into a point-of-need Lab-on-a-chip system for rapid online pathogen detection.
Also, handling of hazardous chemicals in this method poses a risk on the researchers (Michaelis et al., 2008; Bulter, 2012).
The proposed quantification method poses a major improvement over prevailing approaches because no error-prone conversion factors and assumptions are needed to obtain absolute biomass concentrations.
Despite the advantages of video, the method poses a number of challenges that touch upon issues ranging from the naturalness of the data (Schnettler & Raab 2008), how technology manipulates and frames the data obtained (Laurier & Philo 2012), to methodological questions about selection, analysis (Derry et al. 2010), and transcription practices (Knoblauch et al., 2012a, b).
In the light of the new experiments, however, success of the energy-minimization prediction method poses a new question.
Four days after the contaminated sites in Pacaya-Samiria were supposed to have been cleaned up, back in May 2009, the company requested that the Energy Ministry declare the PAC "inapplicable" on the grounds that the proposed methods posed a danger to Pacaya-Samiria and a new plan was required.
In an 1890 article for the Harvard Law Review, Supreme-Court-Justice-to-be Louis Brandeis and his law partner Samuel Warren expressed concern that "[r]ecent inventions and business methods" posed a threat to individuals, who had "the right to be let alone".
But today's methods pose a new threat to democratic values.
