lost more body fat, and lowered their triglyceride levels and raised their HDL, or good cholesterol, more than the low-fat dieters," who lost an average of only 14 pounds and did not show as significant an improvement in lowering their triglycerides and raising their HDL (Study: Low-carb diet more effective than low-fat diet, 2004, Duke Medicine News and Communications). However, in a recent Journal of the American Medical Association study in which "25 young, healthy men and women were deliberately fed nearly 1,000 excess calories a day for 56 days, but with diets that varied in the amounts of protein and fat," it was found that all gained weight and in fact the low-protein dieters gained the least weight, although they did lose the most lean body mass (Winslow 2012)
Senate resolution which authorized the Senate Committee on Finance to investigate the effects of the tariff laws "upon the imports and exports, the growth, development, production, and prices of agricultural and manufactured articles at home and abroad."(BLS Handbook of Methods) The data itself is collected through a systematic sampling of producers in the manufacturing, mining, and service industries and this data is then published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Quality of care is directly related to patient satisfaction. An adequate match among patient needs, nursing staff, and techical personnel will result in a higher level of patient satisfaction than a situation in which technical support is lacking (Clarke and Donaldson, 2008)
Some of the options being designed these days for that higher cost of policing deal with the actual factors for the more rapid increase in spending. However, they do not evaluate what this elevated spending implies for city governing bodies, occupants and also the future of the occupation (Gascon and Foglesong, 2010)
Within a RAND evaluation research, therapy had been approximated to decrease offense related with drug abuse and also the drug exchange as much as Fifteen times when compared with prison time. These results have already been mirrored in other scientific studies which have additionally identified that drug therapy is much more economical in managing substance abuse as well as criminal offense as opposed to extended growth of the penitentiary system when considering low-level drug users (Stevenson, 2011)
The domestic supply of seafood is decreasing as a result of the depletion of most of the near sea fishery resources as well as restrictions on the concept of international deep sea fishing. South Korea is noted to be a major market for sea food in the greater Asian region (Smith, Dennis, and Proctor,2006)
27a).This is however erroneous and therefore points out to the main weaknesses that is inherent in the reliance on the use or nonuse of a given entertainment activity (Hisrich and Peters,1974,p
There are a number of motivations that managers might have to undercut a stated pricing strategy. The most important class of motive lies with the external environment, in particular the relationship between price and demand for a given product (Goetz, 1985)
Pricing decisions should be made by marketing, but with input from a number of different parts of the organization. The reason is that there are two main levels on which the pricing decision is made -- the long-term strategic level and the short-term tactical level (Hurwich, no date)
This is because the market is typically the most important element in price-setting. Market structure in particular plays a significant role in price-setting, as the degree to which firms must react to the moves of competitors varies depending on the structure of a market (Coricelli & Horvath, 2008)
The use of only incremental costs is associated with neoclassical pricing strategy, and this strategy is not common in practice. More importantly, there are skeptics with respect to the validity of this pricing strategy (Lucas, 2001)
5 members of the team. There is a meaningful 'zero' of team members (no one could sign up for the team one year, in theory) so the level of measurement is ratio (Trochim 2006)
Harmful affects, according to this hypothetical study, may include chronic bronchitis, frequent lung infections, lung cancer, or emphysema. With a cross sectional design method, a survey would likely be conducted on a given population during a single data collection, since this type of method is generally used (Community Foundation, 2003)
Longitudinal designs, on the other hand, involve the collection of data over a period of time. Rather than collecting a single data set, the longitudinal design allows researchers to study an independent variable over time, in order to measure changes in that variable within the subject population (Gliner, 2000)
One type of research design is that of the quantitative design. In quantitative research, the goal is to determine specific relationships, and as such, all research is either considered descriptive, where subjects are measured once, or experimental, where subjects are measured before and after a specific treatment or event (Hoover, Donovan, 2004)
Still another advantage of the cross-sectional study is that this method can collect data on attitudes and behaviors, which other observational or descriptive research methods cannot. A correctly modeled cross sectional research design can answer questions on exploratory subjects, without the expense of more in-depth forms of research (Hopkins, 2001)
Cross-sectional designs have many advantages over other forms of research designs. First, and perhaps most importantly, cross sectional designs are more cost effective than other forms, such as the cohort study, which examines data over time (Larkin, 1985)
In cross sectional studies, data is collected a single time from the subject pool on the relevant variable. All data is collected within a short period of time, generally through the use of surveys (Saint-Germain, 2004)
This paper will focus on two types of quantitative design, those of the cross-sectional design and the longitudinal design. Both types of design are considered to be descriptive in nature, in that no manipulation of variables is done (Woolf, 1998)
