Problem identification, researchable

The identification of particles adsorbed on solid surfaces and recognition of their properties is one of the fundamental problems in research on adsorption and heterogeneous catalysis. Desorption of the adsorbed species from a surface and its subsequent analysis is an important method for solv-...

But science is neither value free nor independent. Values do and should enter into important phases of the research process such as problem identification, design of methods and experiments, model assumptions and the use of normative concepts (Alroe and Kristensen 2002). Some concepts that are widely used in agricultural research are clearly value laden. Obvious examples include sustainability, food quality, soil quality, nature quality, animal welfare, rural development and human wellbeing. Such concepts often have different meanings in different groups, discourses and research disciplines. These conceptual differences influence the kinds of... 

In the event that the LDH system does not solve the problem of seminal stain identification, research has been initiated to produce specific antisera to certain antigens only found in seminal fluid. Preliminary work indicates that at least five constituents of seminal fluid can be electrophoretically separated and antigenically introduced into rabbits (28, 29).

Before a problem can be defined, it must first be identified. Engineers themselves often do not identify the problem. Problems are typically noted first by society, which typically sees a need, not a problem. A need may refer to a group of people s desire, a shortage of a product or service, or possibly a luxury item. For the engineering design process, this need may then be termed a problem. Problem identification may come from research, from media exposure, or from client input to a company. The engineering design team must clearly define this problem in simple terms. The definition should not include a solution.

Our research design, shown in Fig. 13.1, followed the typical action research cycle as proposed by Ferrance (2000) which involves the following five phases (1) Identification of problem area, (2) Collection and organisation of data, (3) Interpretation of data, (4) Action based on data and (5) Refiection and evaluation of results. Finally, the results are used in a new cycle of research. 

The germination stimulant or stimulants from host plants have not yet been identified, but research on isolation and identification of these allelopathic compounds continues. Other nonhost plants, such as cotton, also release chemicals which stimulate the germination of witchweed seed and these crops can replace the cereal crops in witchweed-infected fields. If no acceptable host is present, the witchweed plant is unable to mature and produce seed. The importance of cereal crops as a staple food in underdeveloped countries makes growth of nonhost crops only partially acceptable, and there are numerous wild hosts that allow the witchweed to germinate, mature, and produce more seed (several thousand seeds can be produced by a single plant). Nevertheless, application of either natural or synthetic stimulants in the absence of a host plant is an effective way of reducing and eventually eliminating the witchweed problem. 

As alluded to already, a major problem inherent in neuropharmacologic research is the lack of phenotypic changes that are clearly associated with treatment response this difficulty is particularly evident for mood-stabilizing agents [9]. In the absence of suitable animal models, studies have attempted to overcome this experimental hurdle by employing paradigms that involve the identification of com-...
