	Research - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Research is often described as an active, diligent, and systematic process of inquiry aimed at discovering, interpreting, and revising facts.
		The term research is also used to describe a collection of information about a particular subject, and is usually associated with science and the scientific method.
		It is not unusual for researchers to present their project in such a light as to 'slot' it into either applied or basic research, depending on the requirements of the funding sources.

	Science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scientists maintain that scientific investigation must adhere to the scientific method, a process for evaluating empirical knowledge that explains observable events in nature as results of natural causes, rejecting supernatural notions.
		Workers in corporate research laboratories also practice science, although their results are often deemed trade secrets and not published in public journals.
		While scientific journals communicate and document the results of research carried out in universities and various other institutions, science magazines cater to the needs of a wider readership.

	Scientific Research on the Benefits of Transcendental Meditation.
		Other research has found that meditating individuals in their mid-50s have a biological age twelve years younger than their chronological age, and that people beginning the practice even at 80 years of age live longer and are healthier and happier than controls of the same age.
		Research has further demonstrated that when groups practicing the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs are introduced into a city, state, or country anywhere in the world, then crime decreases, there are fewer traffic accidents, and the quality of life improves in that area.
		Published research has shown that increases in the size of the group have an influence in both the United States and Canada, resulting in fewer violent deaths due to homicides, suicides, and traffic fatalities, a reduction in unemployment and inflation; and a general improvement in the quality of life.

	MBNMS: Scientific Research Plan
		Research results will be used for making management decisions about resource protection and to develop and improve education programs for visitors and others interested in the Sanctuary.
		This research may be followed by a field survey and archeological assessment to locate and evaluate the extent to which historical resources are based in the Sanctuary.
		It is hoped that ultimately this research will establish a firm scientific basis from which to apply management and possible regulatory measures that will reduce the impacts of activities that modify sediment flow in the marine environment.

	Consciousness-Based Education Association
		This research, conducted at more than 200 universities and research institutes in 30 countries, confirms the universal and profound effectiveness of this program in raising the quality of life.
		More than 40 years of experience and over 600 scientific research studies have shown this non-sectarian program to improve educational outcomes, reduce stress and antisocial behavior, increase creativity and intelligence, and unfold the inner happiness of students and teachers of all cultural and educational backgrounds.
		Research has shown that the practice of the Transcendental Meditation program by elementary and secondary students significantly improved academic achievement on national standardized tests (17, 18); improved cognitive abilities (12); and improved field independence, indicating broader comprehension with the ability to focus sharply (13).

	Ridges and Furrows - Scientific Researchers
		In the late 1800's, Kollmann of Hamburg Germany, was the first researcher to address the formation of friction ridges on the fetus and the random physical stresses and tensions which may have played a part in their growth.
		Alfred Hale was an associate of Harold Cummins at Tulane University. In 1952 he published a paper called "Morphogenesis of the Volar Skin in the Human Fetus". His paper documents the actual stages of friction ridge development in addition to describing friction ridge skin formation on the human fetus.
		In summary...scientific research (including hundreds of years of observation by scientific researchers and friction ridge identification specialists) has played a significant role in supporting all premises of friction ridge identification.

	Understanding Scientific Research
		Scientific journals require research articles to go through a process called "peer review." During peer review, scientific experts who were not connected to the study review the article and decide whether it was done properly and whether the findings have merit.
		Researchers are trying to determine whether DES-exposed women and men are at an increased risk for certain health problems compared with the general population.
		For instance, one cohort study revealed that one in six women prescribed DES while pregnant can be expected to develop breast cancer in her lifetime, compared with an expected rate of one in eight women in the general population (Titus-Ernstoff et al., 2001).

	About Transcendental Meditation Scientific Research
		These studies have been gathered in Scientific Research on the Maharishi Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programmes, Volumes 1-6, containing over 4,000 pages of scientific papers and appear below in the Bibliography of 508 TM programme studies.
		Transcendental Consciousness has been found by physiological research to be a fourth major state of consciousness, a state of restful alertness, distinct from the commonly experienced states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep.
		Research has further confirmed that large groups practicing the TM-Sidhi programme together in one place-approximately the square root of one percent of the population-radiate an influence of orderliness and harmony in the society at large.

		In the other camp are the scholars and scientists who are truly schooled in the available scientific evidence, but nearly always lack the scriptural faith of the theologians and tend to dismiss, twist, or minimize historical accounts in the scriptures.
