For an overview of the use of the term 'positivism' in sciences and a discussion of positivism as a methodological approach, see, e.g., Jackson and Smith (2005).
To analyze the effect of cognitive status of subjects on diagnostic effectiveness of ioflupane [I] imaging, subjects were grouped by scores <29 and ≥29 (for a detailed explanation of this methodological approach, see Statistical methods).
Using the latest mass spectrometric approaches (see methodological review [ 2]), they detected significant changes between protein/peptide profiles of drug-naïve schizophrenia patients compared to demographically matched healthy controls.
Meanwhile this methodological gap is addressed by recent super-resolution fluorescence microscopy approaches (see below).
In its place, he favors a methodological approach that sees unregulated market failures, rather than clashes of stakeholder interests, as the principal occasion for ethical deliberation and restraint.
Triangulated Proxy Reporting involves the triangulation of data, investigators, and methodological approaches to analysis (see Denzin and Lincoln [ 35] for an extended explanation).

Additional 3DdFBA simulations both with and without regulation were performed using lookup tables generated with the FBAwMC approach (see Additional file 1: section 1.3 for methodological details).
Therefore, the study comprises of three methodological approaches (triangulation): a quantitative approach, a qualitative approach and a synthesis and feedback approach (see also Figure 1).
For an interesting discussion of Weyl's empirical turn in his methodological approach to gauge theory, see Scholz (2005).
