Fillion, P. (2002) Postmodern Planning. pg. 265-285 Quote: “Planning discourse is becoming increasingly disconnected from implementation.” This quote is from the first paragraph of the article by Pierre Fillion. As a matter of fact, it is the first sentence he uses. It is a very strong sentence that sets up his article beautifully. While after reading his article, I do not agree with all of his statements or points, but this one, his main one, I do agree with strongly. Pierre lays out why he believes
Sample Nightclub Business Plan (www.bplans.com) BackgroundSummary The generation of today has a lot of focus on leisure and off-time. They are looking for ways to escape their everyday lives and let loose. Whether that is dancing to new age music, having a few cocktails, or dining out with reasonably priced food. A nightclub can provide all these accommodations, and is the perfect venue to open up is done with some thoughtful planning. There are some important elements to consider. Location is
Methods Sample The sampling method that I have used to obtain a sufficient pool of participants is purposeful sampling. Purposive sampling techniques are especially useful in exploratory, qualitative research. This purposive sample, which is a non-probability sample, consists of SUNY Oneonta resident students with a meal plan to the campus dining halls, and also selected staff members of the three campus dining halls: Wilsbach, Mills, and Hulbert. In total, I interviewed 13 resident students
these things really possible? What does the scientific community actually know about these phenomena? Ultimately, one must ask the question, what can the scientific community know about these phenomena? This paper is intended to provide a small sample and critique of the available scientific research on these unexplained and often dismissed phenomena. The examples which form this review are: research on unexplained phenomena not associated with "psychic" individuals, large-scale research centering
APA Style Sample APA (American Psychological Association) style is primarily used in the social science disciplines. It is formatted like MLA, and shows many similarities, but is unique in several key points. APA uses parenthetical (or in-text) citations within sentences, but rather than indicating the author's name and page number, APA includes author's name and date of publication. The page number, represented with a p. or a pp., is only added to the citation when using a direct quote
Modeling a Sample of Radioactive Decay on Material Using Dice Aim: To model the sample of radioactivity decay on material, using dice. Method: To use 600 dice and roll them up to the decided throw number of 14. This is going to be used as an example to show how the decaying of radioactive material works. Results: A results table for the number of dice remaining graph: Throw number Number of dice remaining Average 1 84 83 90 90 79 82 84.6 2 72
Sampling Strategy and Sample Size for a Qualitative Research Plan Sampling strategy and sample size is distinctly influenced by the research approach taken. This applies both to the overall research direction appropriate for a proposed study (quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods) as well as to the technique applied to explore the phenomenon under investigation. Moreover, even though Ms. Lynn noted that quantitative and qualitative research methods exist on a continuum, where different methods
Comparing Data As a piece of Statistics coursework, I have decided to compare two items of data, in order to prove, or disprove my theory: "A country's position in the Commonwealth games varies accordingly to that country's population size." My theory is that a country's position in something such as the Olympics or Commonwealth Games is proportional to that country's population size. I say this because I believe that if a country has a large population, there will be more potential
The objective of this study was to record a quantitative approximation of how many bacteria are present within various samples of meat products. The bacterial content of each meat sample is vital information in regards to improvements within the meat processing industry, and gives reason for changing or sustaining current feeding and processing conditions. Understanding which methods taken in processing meat that is sold to the public is a matter of public health, as obtaining and maintaining lower
With respect to each member's sample, I felt that the precision of the AA spectroscopy and EDTA results were not that precise because the values were far apart from each other. For instance, my data had AA spectroscopy and EDTA titration values of 167.31ppm and 240ppm respectively
preventers against cell damage, which in the most severe case can cause cancer. Almost all nutritions contain a certain amount of antioxidant – both chemical and/or biological. To measure the activity and amount of the antioxidants present in a sample, some distinctive but easy assays have been established. This paper will give a short overview of the ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance cacpacity) assay and compare it with other antioxidant assays. Besides that, the paper introduces some preliminary
attempted to clarify this potential link using a variety of population samples and research methodologies. As will be shown, the results of these investigations are rather diverse and sometimes inconclusive. In the following review of the literature, the complex relationship between sexual abuse and eating disorders will be examined while also discussing the methodological limitations of the various designs. Anorexic Samples Steiger and Zanko (1990) compared rates of incestuous abuses (sexual

characteristics. The participants of the study were assessed by using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The study showed that the current sample of nurses had similar levels of emotional exhaustion to the overall normative and medical figures. However respondents had significantly lower depersonalization and higher personal accomplishment than both the normative and medical samples. The limitations to the study and the result of high satisfaction could be because the normative figures are based on mainly American
2.5 liters. The samples are likely to be representative because the method of simple random sampling will be used. The data of cars is wide range, so we use calculation to choose the samples randomly. The processes of sampling are divided into three procedures. Firstly, order all the cars by number them from 1,2,3 until 100. Secondly, decide the number of samples and calculate how many samples should be chose from each group. In this case, I decide to select 30 samples. Finally, use the
expectation that they would pass? The population that was chosen for this study to be carried out on was a large nursing specific school. If would make for an even more effective study if there was more than just a single school chosen to draw the sample population from. This allows for two comparision of the first graduating class and two more for the following class. Spurlock chose to study two separate May graduation classes which does improve accuracy and errors made by studying a single group
plants. · Two twenty five meter tape measures out at 90 degrees to do random samples. · A point frame quadrat. I am going to identify the plants in each area and count them. I will take many samples of plants in each place. I will sample eleven spots in the trampled area and eleven spots in the non-trampled area. In each of the twenty two places I am sampling I will put down my quadrat and take samples from eleven contact points that will be ten centimetres apart 0cm 10cm 20cm 30cm
their lives without the fear of being raped by another person? The article that will be discussed in this paper is called “The Reason Rapists Are Going Free” written by Stacy Colino. The biggest thing about this article is the fact that the DNA samples gathered in rape kits can nab sexual offenders, but the evidence often sits around collecting dust. Many men as well as women are getting away with harming another person through sexual contact with out their permission. Men as well as women can
today's society. Drugs tested for by a possible employer include Cocaine (crack), Amphetamines (crystal), Opiates (codeine, morphine, heroin), PCP (phencyclidine), and Marijuana. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry is used to test hair and urine samples of possible drug abusers or job applicants, and it is the best method for the testing of drug use. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry are two different methods for identifying chemical substances, and the two instruments have be coupled together
The population for my Living Case Study will come from a healthcare organization that will be referred to as organization X. Singh (2007) describes a population as “a group of individuals, objects, or items from among which samples are taken for measurement” (p. 88). The population within Organization X has over six hundred employees located in the corporate office in downtown Toledo, Ohio. Within the corporate office for my Living Case Study the focus will come from the Account Receivable Department
