In real-world towing, the ship is pulled by another vessel, usually an easier vessel to maneuver and gain velocity (Boat US, n.d.). During this process, the aerodynamic performance of towing is of heightened...

A Unified Theory of Human Development

There is a plethora of studies, both new and archaic, that explore the most efficient models of education. There are structures contained within development research that share similarities, allowing scientists to attempt to congregate the existing information into a single framework (Liben, 2008). However, this notion has a questionable purpose...

Aspects of the Physical Anthropology

Statistical Significance and Meaningfulness

As a reviewer, I would start by stating that statistical significance involves a statistic’s critical value. It helps determine whether the null hypothesis needs to be rejected or fails to get rejected. On the other hand, meaningfulness implies a statistic’s efficiency and applicability to the real world (Laber & Shedden,...
