Methodology of Observational Cosmology

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2003
These lectures focus on the methods of observational cosmology and their physical basis. After a brief reminder of the essential elements of the Big Bang model, we look at some of the basic methods for surveying the homogeneous universe. The second half of the lectures examines the perturbed universe - large-scale structure and the cosmic microwave ...

Distribution: Some Methodological Observations

1996
Perhaps the most interesting descendant of the eighteenth century French theoretical economic tradition was Leon Walras (1834–1910). His work went almost unnoticed during his lifetime, not only because he presented his findings in mathematical terms (which was not in fashion with the economics profession of the time), but also because of his political ...

Participant Observation as a Research Methodology

Studies in Art Education, 1972
Quite some years ago when I was teaching junior high literature we chanced to read an excerpt from a biography of Benjamin West entitled "The Fork in the Road." Briefly, the author recounted the sequence of events which led to West's Quaker community bestowing its blessing upon his choice of vocation.

Observations of Barroom Drinking; Methodology and Preliminary Results

Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol, 1974
Data from a field study of barroom behavior indicate that most people do not stay very long or consume many drinks in a bar, that the number of sips per drink is a reliable measure of drinking rate...

Observations of Fallibility in Applications of Modern Programming Methodologies

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 1976
Errors, inconsistencies, or confusing points are noted in a variety of published algorithms, many of which are being used as examples in formulating or teaching principles of such modern programming methodologies as formal specification, systematic construction, and correctness proving.

Methodological Sketch of Observer-Based Access Control

Proceedings of the 2nd international Conference on Big Data, Cloud and Applications, 2017
Access control is an essential component for computer system securing. It accords a definition to the conditions of actions execution in a system by a user. Considering the diverse phases of an access control policy design and its effective application on a deployed system, several steps can introduce undesirable errors or flaws.

Observer design methodology for stochastic and deterministic robustness

International Journal of Control, 2008
A unified observer with stochastic and deterministic robustness is developed in this paper so that an observer is less sensitive to both stochastic and deterministic uncertainties. For stochastic robustness, the norm of the observer gain and the lower bound of the observer decay rate are shown to be design factors which can minimize the upper bound of ...

An Observational Methodology for Studying Group Design Activity

Research in Engineering Design, 1991
A methodology for observing and analyzing group design activity is presented. This methodology is based on ethnographic and interaction analysis methods from the social sciences. Using it to study collaborative design activity leads to a descriptive analysis that identifies what resources the designers use and what obstacles they must overcome to ...

Observing observations empirically: methodological innovations in applied sociocybernetics

Kybernetes, 1997
Discusses the differences between systemic social research and conventional, non‐systemic empirical research. Outlines paradigmatically the major stages, methodological decisions and results of an empirical project. Focuses on intimate communication and AIDS prevention. Distinguishes four different intimate system types. These system types are shown to

A METHODOLOGY FOR INFERRING THE CAUSES OF OBSERVED IMPAIRMENTS IN AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2002
Abstract Biological surveys have become a common technique for determining whether aquatic communities have been injured. However, their results are not useful for identifying management options until the causes of apparent injuries have been identified. Techniques for determining causation have been largely informal and ad hoc.
