... the question "what proportion of positive results is truly positive?" essentially depends on the proportion of true and false hypotheses tested within a given field of knowledge-or the a priori plausibility. This analysis is important for our understanding of the limitations inherent to scientific research, especially with respect to the priors(initial probabilities) of a given study. 2, record 1, English, - a%20priori%20plausibility

With the benefits of travelling solo, the question of security still remains an important issue. However, this too has two solutions. The first is to try and crime proof oneself and the second is to choose the destinations that are safe for travelling alone. When it comes to crime-proofing, it is advisable to learn some kind of martial arts like judo or karate. There are three main tricks of the trade — never hitchhike; do not easily trust anyone and do not indulge into drinking. If these three principles are followed then it becomes relatively safe for women to travel outdoors all alone. 1, record 3, English, - crime%20proof%20oneself

In the scientific method a hypothesis is generated as a potential answer to an important question. An experiment is tested to prove or disprove the hypotheses.... the design process is similar, but different in some important ways. Instead of a question there is a problem or need.

It is suggested that the above terms be used not only in a mathematical but also in a physical meaning: curdling to denote any cascade of instabilities resulting in contraction, and curd to denote a volume within which a physical characteristic becomes increasingly concentrated as a result of curdling. 5, record 16, English, - nucleation

The process of curdling is an important question for the science of fractals : a field equation which displays nucleation(curdling) of particles out of a pure radiation field is discussed. The particle formation arises naturally from the nonlinear character of the equation rather than from the imposed quantization conditions. 6, record 16, English, - nucleation

Think-pair-share was first proposed by Lyman(1981). This is a relatively low-risk and short collaborative learning structure, and is ideally suited for instructors and students who are new to collaborative learning. In think-pair-share, the instructor poses a challenging or open-ended question and gives students a half to one minute to think about the question.(This is important because it gives students a chance to start to formulate answers by retrieving information from long-term memory.) Students then pair with a collaborative group member or neighbor sitting nearby and discuss their ideas about the question for several minutes. 3, record 19, English, - think%2Dpair%2Dshare
