A part of the Current Research Focus Climate Change, Sea-level Rise (SLR) and Coastal Flooding (CF), Norfolk State University proposed a collaborative effort between the natural sciences and social sciences to examine the perceptions and attitudes of African Americans in the Hampton Roads area to both sea-level rise and coastal flooding. As a sociologist on the collaborative team, analyzing racial dynamics and perceptions of marginalized populations is critical to understanding under-served communities
‘method and research patterns in political science’ written by James Jacob and Agaba Halidu is the work which is written by the mentioned authors to help students in political science and other social science to get the basic understanding on how research should be conducted and come out with scientific conclusion in the subject of discourse or the subjection of investigation. The book, give lucidity foundation in the process of carrying out a scientific investigation in political science and other
role as Assistant Professor of Social Work, from August 2014 to May 2015 at the College at Brockport, State University of New York, I worked as a team leader and team member in various research projects. One specific instance of my team leadership skills is that I served as principal investigator of a 3-person team on an internal grant project evaluating the customer service demands of students enrolled in the social work program. In this role, I served as project manager, including leading the development
Statement of Purpose “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” – Albert Einstein. My research interests lie in the fields of machine learning and big data analytics. Some undergraduate students may find realizing their research interests a lot less challenging than I did. For me it was an unrelenting quest that involved working with researchers across a wide range of projects. My journey as an undergraduate has been inspired to a great extent by the aforementioned
the varied criteria attached to the definition of Big Science. With such a vast array of opinions on the subject, an attempt will be made to simplify and rationalise a specific definition. Examples of The Manhattan Project and the research conducted at CERN will be investigated to this end, and the former will be examined for its perceived effect on Big Science. It will be argued that Big Science is simply the industrialisation of Little Science, and that the differences between the two are a matter
STEM-related projects, improving their academic performance and award-winning participation in the school’s science fair. I had 12 students with exceptional needs in my caseload for the school year 2014-2015. Part of the science curriculum in our school is the Science Projects, where students were encouraged to do scientific research projects in the following categories: Technology and Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Biology A (Animal Science, Medicine and Health Science and Microbiology)
The project was funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) that is the lead U.S. Government agency that works to mitigate and end extreme global poverty and assist resilient societies to exploit their potential. USAID established the Middle East Regional Cooperation (MERC) Programme in 1981 to facilitate research collaboration between Egyptian and Israeli scientists after they signed the Camp David Accords. The programme was expanded in 1993 and today includes Jordan
This in turn required a common perception of the central approaches and concepts of the project. Starting point of the negotiation process was the adoption of the concept of “strong sustainability” (given in the project application). “Strong sustainability” refers to an approach in which natural capital (resources) is regarded as non-substitutable. Since natural resources are limited, they form the basic
The PhD in science studies at the department of Sociology of the University of Lancaster, a distinguished program in a top 10 university fits well into these ambitions of mine – and hopefully it will enable me to acquire the knowledge to continue uncovering the complexities between the two fields. I believe that my education, research, work and volunteering experience – spanning across the fields of systems engineering
Where did you conduct research? How long was this research experience? Who was your mentor or supervisor? What was the purpose of the project? What was your specific contribution to the project? Why was it an interesting project? What impact did it have on your scholarly goals? Maximum 500 words I have conducted research at two different research groups. One of the research groups was the BioMechanics Laboratory at NYU Abu Dhabi. During my sophomore summer, I developed a proof of concept prototype
