A good hypothesis informs a good experiment or collection of data. To form a quality hypotheses, take stock of your thought process and shape it according to objective standards. The Hypothesis for a Science Project The scientific method has four steps. First, observe and describe of a group of phenomena. Second, formulate a hypothesis to explain the phenomena. Third, use the hypothesis to predict the existence of other phenomena. Finally, perform experimental tests of the hypothesis and predictions. How to Make a Hypothesis Statement A hypothesis statement predicts a relationship between two variables. Writing a hypothesis should always precede any actual experiments and is an important part of the scientific method. Remember that the scientific method is used not only in the physical sciences, but also in the social sciences. So you could write a hypothesis on... How to Calculate Null Hypothesis All mathematical and scientific hypotheses can be determined in a binary fashion. For example, they are either true or false. Proving these hypotheses can similarly follow two approaches.

67. The Retrieval Hypothesis Some day, the humans or their descendants using a very advanced technology and knowledge will be able to rebuild dead individuals. http://www.burcet.net/retrieval/

The Retrieval Hypothesis Towards a new perception of resurrection At the edge of science, technology, reality and the possibilities of the future Some day, the humans or their descendents using a very advanced technology and knowledge will be able to rebuild dead individuals. The first ones to be retrieved will want to retrieve some others among those who had been very important for them. And again, the former will undertake other retrieval projects. This will produce retrieval chains which, even if they will be originated from a very distant future, will finally involve us. Conditions for retrieval Reconstruction of a whole individual, including his identity and memories requires an exhaustive knowledge about his organism and his mind as well. It would be required to reconstruct exactly his condition as it was in a specific moment of his life, before his death. Nowadays such a possibility appears as an unthinkable task as far as the amount of the needed information about the dead person is nearly infinite.

70. Evidence That InvalidatesThe HIV-Hypothesis A list of evidence that refutes the HIV/AIDS hypothesis, much of it taken from documents puporting to claim the reverse. http://www.ourcivilisation.com/aids/not/evidence.htm

Evidence That Invalidates The HIV-Hypothesis by Mohammed Ali Al-Bayati The following is a list of medical facts that invalidate the HIV-hypothesis' claim which states that HIV selectively kills CD4+T cells and cause AIDS: The reduction of CD4+ T cells in HIV positive homosexual men who used rectal steroid was reversed after the cessation of the treatment with corticosteroids (Sharpstone et al., 1996). If the HIV is the cause of AIDS in these patients then the cessation of the steroids will not reverse the disease. The lymph nodes of majority of the 505 HIV-infected individuals showed lymphoid hyperplasia that include T and B cells (Al-Bayati, 1999). The lymphoid atrophy observed in HIV-infected patients include reduction in T cells (CD4+ and CD+8), B cells, and stroma (Al-Bayati, 1999; Muro-Cacho, et al., 1995). HIV particles were found in CD4+, CD8+ T cells, B cells, and other cells indicating HIV do not need specific receptors as the HIV-hypothesis predict (Al-Bayati, 1999). 90% of AIDS cases were reported to be in drugs users and homosexuals and the changes in the lymphoid organs of HIV-negative drug users or homosexuals were similar to those described in HIV-positive drug users and/or homosexual men ( Fauci, et al., 1998; Al-Bayati, 1999). There are numerous diseases caused by the use of drugs by inhalation such as lung fibrosis, thrombocytopenia and these diseases are chronically treated with high therapeutic doses of corticosteroids ( Fauci, et al., 1998; Al-Bayati, 1999). The long term use of corticosteroids (3-6 months) at dose levels of 60 mg per day can cause AIDS in HIV negative patients (Al-Bayati, 1999).

Hypothesis From LoveToKnow 1911 HYPOTHESIS (from Gr. urortO vat, to put under; cf. Lat. suppositio, from sub-ponere ), in ordinary language, an explanation, supposition or assumption, which is put forward in the absence of ascertained facts or causes. Both in ordinary life and in the acquisition of scientific knowledge hypothesis is all-important. A detective's work consists largely in forming and testing hypothesis. If an astronomer is confronted by some phenomenon which has no obvious explanation he may postulate some set of conditions which from his general knowledge of the subject would or might give rise to the phenomenon in question; he then tests his hypothesis until he discovers whether it does or does not conflict with the facts. An example of this process is that of the discovery of the planet Neptune : certain perturbations of the orbit of Uranus had been observed, and it was seen that these could be explained on the hypothesis of the existence of a then unknown planet, and this hypothesis was verified by actual observation. The progress of inductive knowledge is by the formation of successive hypotheses, and it frequently happens that the demolition of one or even many hypotheses is the direct road to a new and accurate hypothesis, i.e.

This assumption may or may not be true. The best way to determine whether a statistical hypothesis is true would be to examine the entire population. Since that is often impractical, researchers typically examine a random sample from the population. If sample data are not consistent with the statistical hypothesis, the hypothesis is rejected.

Hypothesis Testing by Georgina Wilson González and Karpagam Sankaran Table of Contents General Description Types of Tests Error Steps in Hypothesis Testing ... Practical Examples A) One Tailed B) Two Tailed Limitations for Environmental Sampling A) Multiple Comparisons B) Multiple Constituents C) Difficulty in Meeting Assumptions References General Description There are two types of statistical inferences: estimation of population parameters and hypothesis testing. Hypothesis testing is one of the most important tools of application of statistics to real life problems. Most often, decisions are required to be made concerning populations on the basis of sample information. Statistical tests are used in arriving at these decisions. There are five ingredients to any statistical test : (a) Null Hypothesis (b) Alternate Hypothesis (c) Test Statistic (d) Rejection/Critical Region (e) Conclusion In attempting to reach a decision, it is useful to make an educated guess or assumption about the population involved, such as the type of distribution. Statistical Hypotheses : They are defined as assertion or conjecture about the parameter or parameters of a population, for example the mean or the variance of a normal population. They may also concern the type, nature or probability distribution of the population.

75. Hypotheses An hypothesis is a specific statement of prediction. It describes in concrete (rather than theoretical) terms what you expect will happen in your study. http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/hypothes.htm

SEARCH: Previous Home Next Home ... Language Of Research Hypotheses An hypothesis is a specific statement of prediction. It describes in concrete (rather than theoretical) terms what you expect will happen in your study. Not all studies have hypotheses. Sometimes a study is designed to be exploratory (see inductive research ). There is no formal hypothesis, and perhaps the purpose of the study is to explore some area more thoroughly in order to develop some specific hypothesis or prediction that can be tested in future research. A single study may have one or many hypotheses. Actually, whenever I talk about an hypothesis, I am really thinking simultaneously about two hypotheses. Let's say that you predict that there will be a relationship between two variables in your study. The way we would formally set up the hypothesis test is to formulate two hypothesis statements, one that describes your prediction and one that describes all the other possible outcomes with respect to the hypothesized relationship. Your prediction is that variable A and variable B will be related (you don't care whether it's a positive or negative relationship). Then the only other possible outcome would be that variable A and variable B are not related. Usually, we call the hypothesis that you support (your prediction) the

Economics Linguistics Mathematics Philosophy ... Globe Trekker Physics The connection between ‘unmatter’ and ‘unparticle’ is explained in details in this paper: " On Emergent Physics, 'Unparticles' and Exotic 'Unmatter' States," by E. Goldfain and F. Smarandache, Prog. Phys., Vol. 4, 10-15, 2008. Unparticles have very odd properties which result from the fact that they represent fractional field quanta. Unparticles are manifested as mixed states that contain arbitrary mixtures of particles and antiparticles (therefore they simultaneously evolve “forward” and “backward” in time). From this, the connection with unmatter. Using the fractal operators of differentiation and integration we get the connection between unparticle and unmatter. ‘Unmatter’ was coined by F. Smarandache in 2004 who published three papers on the subject.

Hygiene Hypothesis Living with nature Home Hygiene Hypothesis 2 Hygiene Hypothesis 3 Hygiene Hypothesis ... Reference (coming) The Hygiene Hypothesis or Old Friends Hypothesis What the hygiene hypothesis says is that our bodies are ecosystems that have been damaged by a rapid reduction in number and variety of microorganisms that populate our bodies and immediate environment. That alteration of those environments has been so rapid in genetic terms that we have not had time to adapt, and the consequence is the rise of autoimmune diseases and immunological disorders. The hygiene hypothesis is the theory upon which practical immunotherapies, probiotics and helminthic therapy, are based. The use of benign infectious organsims to treat or prevent diseases involving immune dysregulation, autoimmunity or chronic inflammation. A remarkable study was published in 2009 demonstrates for the first time that this central idea contained in the hygiene hypothesis or old friends hypothesis, is correct. That parasites, and in particular helminths, have driven evolution of the human immune system, and some genetic variations implicated in Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis and Celiac Disease. The genes identified are responsble for producing various Interleukins, cytokines that form part of the immune system, and that are involved in inflammation. When one learns that we would die if all bacteria, molds, etc. were eliminated from our intestines, or that sixty percent of our stool is bacteria by weight, this idea becomes more obvious. Recent research into the function of the appendix hints that the associaton between us and the organisms we harbor may be even stronger than we now think. It has recently been proposed that the function of the appendix is to regulate our intestinal flora and fauna.
