Methodologies for Practice Research; Approaches for Professional Doctorates. London: Sage
No full textSharp and focused, this book provides the need-to-know information on how to design and implement a good, high quality research project.
Oriented around real-world application, it emphasizes the aspects of research most relevant to conducting practice-based research. Assuming no prior knowledge, but appropriate for experienced learners, it builds knowledge at a sustainable pace.
It offers readers:
- A no frills guide to methodology and the theory of conducting research
- Strategies for communicating complex ideas
- Insight into common impact-driven methods like action research, case study, and mixed methods
- Ways to develop systematic research projects within the boundaries of everyday working life
- Ample opportunities to test and apply newfound knowledge.
With streamlined advice tailored specifically to support research in professional contexts, this book is the essential toolkit every researcher who is embarking on a practice-led project needs
Obtaining Uniform Distribution of Granular Fertilizers with a Spinner Disc Spreader in Variable Rate Scenarios
Full text linkBroadcast fertilizer distribution through spinner-disc spreaders is a widely accepted practice throughout the agricultural industry due to ease of use and low economic impact on producers. Typically, operators can apply pre-mixed granular fertilizer blends of nitrogen, phosphorus and/or potash. The ability to independently-meter multiple fertilizer products at variable application rates allow for site-specific management of in-field fertility. Fertilizer granules of various sources and densities possess different physical and aerodynamic properties when being spread. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of fertilizer composition on distribution uniformity between independently metered and blended fertilizer sources, and determine the effect of metering type on spread of multiple products. A spreader with a dual bin, and the ability to independently meter two products onto spinner-discs was used for this study. Prior to spreading fertilizer, particle analysis determined that the bulk density of diammonium phosphate (DAP), muriate of potash (KCl), and a blended fertilizer (10-26-26) were 1009, 1105, 1025 kg/m3, respectively. All three fertilizer sources were broadcast and nutrient distributions determined. Specifically, the DAP components of the patterns were analyzed for any changes across all three fertilizer sources. DAP only spread patterns differed from that of the independently metered and the blended mixture, while the independently metered and blended fertilizer patterns were almost identical. Pan collection test results showed independently metered DAP and potash spread patterns were not significantly different than the blended mixture. These results indicate that there is a need for in-field spreader adjustments during a variable rate scenario
Perspectives in Faith, Art and Science
No full textThis chapter reveals the complex interrelationships between both of science and religion and art and religion, whereas traditional approaches consider them as entirely separate entities. Debates surrounding their academic positioning relative to each other have largely been framed by historicity but this chapter draws them together as a means of considering the literature that has been generated via their overlap across the trajectory of time. The philosophical basis of the chapter focuses predominantly on science and how the similar ontological positions that science and religion occupy have been active drivers of conflict, alongside academic debate. Where religion and science have existed as parallel entities this essay deliberately connects them with the purpose of framing and illuminating their polarised positions in the context applied knowledge in practice. The capacity of both religion and science, to polarise people, create fundamentalist standpoints and to engender tension and dissonance are unparalleled. This chapter provides an insight as to why extreme standpoints are occupied and how the transdisciplinary nature of modern academic stances has ensured these debates remain alive and well in contemporary society
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
