Statistics, which even applied to qualitative data necessarily quantifies results, is almost as frequently used as all other measurement techniques. It is entirely possible to conducts research without relying on statistics, but they almost always can be utilized either in developing a background understanding of the issue or as comparison features within the research itself (Qual 2009). Statistics can come from external sources or be generated by the research study itself, but either way they form an essential part of many research projects. Their tendency to generalize results is both their strength and weakness, and could account for their slightly lower use (Qual 2009).
So far, the research tools listed have all been external; things found somewhere other than the researcher him or herself. The human mind -- the thinking unit of the researcher -- is of course utilized regardless of the research project (or basic activity of daily life), but it is still valid to suggest that the brain is not as frequently used as a research tool as other tools. Though correlations and conclusions might be theorized by the mind, external empirical evidence is generally required before they are widely accepted and jump from theory to practice (Aggleton 1985; Qual 2009). Similarly, a facility with language can be convincing and useful in conducting and expressing the results of research, but is not an...
Facility of language and the reasoning abilities of the human mind will likely be unnecessary in the face of abundant statistical analysis. A comparison of test scores and other quantitative data will lead to rather straightforward quantitative comparisons that can be correlated to existing research in the area (Qual 2009). Qualitative analysis will also be brought to bear on the issue as factors outside quantitative performance are analyzed, but this will not require undue interpretation, either (Aggleton 1985).
The various research tools described above could all be utilized in almost any given research project. For the research question at and, fairly straightforward comparison techniques are all that are really required, however.

Simultaneous auctions are held only when they are needed, such as when a new areas of bandwidth are opened up for use by the FCC, yet dozens of such auctions were held in the first decade following their inception alone (Cramton 2004; Webpaz 2010). Using web-based technologies greatly assists in the practical functioning of simultaneous ascending auctions, as it allows bidders form disparate geographical locations to participate in the

RFID Technology in the Military Radio frequency identification (RFID) Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a term used to refer to an electronic system that transmits in form of serial numbers that are distinct, the identity of a person or an object in a wireless manner with the aid of radio frequencies. The RFID is categorized under the wider automatic identification technologies category (Association of Automatic Identification and Mobility, 2011). The RFID are

Asthma and Stepwise Management Asthma is a common disorder that affects around 1 in 13 Americans today (Asthma facts and figures, 2018). Although there is no cure for asthma, the condition can be managed effectively using various methods, including most especially a stepwise approach. The purpose of this paper is to provide a description of long-term control and quick relief treatment options for asthma sufferers and side effects such interventions can
Hajj is the largest gathering in the world, attracting millions of Muslims each year. As the Muslim community worldwide grows to well over one billion, the number of pilgrims to Makkah (which is sometimes spelled Mecca) also grows The sheer numbers of people itself presents challenges for EMS staff. The population of Makkah province is currently seven million people, which increases during hajj (Arab News, 2012). In 2012, there
