Summary of a Book Chapter The Infrastructure of Qualitative Field Research This chapter is taken from a book “A Guide to Qualitative Field Research” written by Coral A. Bailey. In this chapter Bailey comprehensively discuss the three basics component of field research that are “paradigm‚ theory and tradition of inquiry”. He argues that while writing about field research and trying to make it more enhanced for learning‚ the qualitative researchers have to organize the presentation of all the interrelated

There are many plants and other pudding flowers. This is a good example of two organisms from different ecosystems. There were not as many steps as I thought there would be involved in building the bottle itself. First I emptied out two two liters of pop. I then cut off the tops of both bottles‚ and threw out one of the

Renewable energy‚ a source of energy that holds a significant promise to help reduce the amount of toxins that are by-product of too much energy use and bring a positive impact on our planet that we currently use as our source of energy.These include energy from water(Hydropower)‚ wind‚ the sun(solar power)‚ geothermal sources‚ and biomass fuel. In contrast‚ fuels such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas are non-renewable‚it’s finite and will some day run out completely. One of the most common renewable

geomorphic‚ hydrologic and Biogeographical processes lead to the formation of ONE ecosystem at risk Ecosystems are the dynamic interactions between plants‚ animals and microorganisms‚ and their environment working together as a functional unit. The Great Barrier Reef‚ an ecosystem that is particularly at risk‚ is a long‚ narrow system that stretches for 2000km along the northeast Australian coast. The formation of this ecosystem is attributed to the dynamics of weather and climate‚ and the geomorphic

Why renewable power sources are better than nuclear power? Nuclear power is the most productive power source. However‚ there are several ongoing debates around the efficiency and the usage of nuclear power. Several factors such as the catastrophes in Chernobyl and Fukushima and the depleting of coal and gas reserves have led to the idea behind the renewable power sources. The renewable power sources are the future of the energy production in the world. Renewable energy is the energy that

Describe different types of energy transfer For us to do work‚ we need energy. Energy is measured in joules‚ (J) or kilojoules (kJ) Energy exists in many different forums such as Kinetic and potential energy – Kinetic energy is the movement of energy and potential is stored energy‚ energy ready to go. A lawn mower filled with gasoline‚ a car on top of a hill‚ and students waiting to go home from school are all examples of potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy crazed by a body
