Hierarchy of evidenceA hierarchy of evidence, comprising levels of evidence (LOEs), that is, evidence levels (ELs), is a heuristic used to rank the relative strength of results obtained from experimental research, especially medical research. There is broad agreement on the relative strength of large-scale, epidemiological studies. More than 80 different hierarchies have been proposed for assessing medical evidence. The design of the study (such as a case report for an individual patient or a blinded randomized controlled trial) and the endpoints measured (such as survival or quality of life) affect the strength of the evidence.
Rayon de Bohrvignette|Image reprenant le modèle de Bohr. Dans le modèle de Bohr de l'atome d'hydrogène, le rayon de Bohr est la longueur caractéristique séparant l'électron du proton. C'est donc un ordre de grandeur du rayon des atomes. On retrouve ce rayon de Bohr également par l'approche quantique de la description de l'atome, où il représente la valeur moyenne dans le temps de la distance entre l'électron et le proton. L'éponyme du rayon de Bohr est le physicien danois Niels Bohr (-).
Prédiction de gènesEn bio-informatique, la prédiction de gènes consiste à identifier les zones de l'ADN qui correspondent à des gènes (le reste étant non codant). Les méthodes par similitudes, aussi appelées méthodes par homologie ou méthodes extrinsèques, consistent à utiliser des informations extérieures au génome pour trouver les gènes. Plus précisément, ces méthodes consistent à comparer la séquence étudiée avec des séquences connues, rassemblées dans les bases de données.
Evidence-based policyEvidence-based policy is a concept in public policy that advocates for policy decisions to be grounded on, or influenced by, rigorously established objective evidence. This concept presents a stark contrast to policymaking predicated on ideology, 'common sense,' anecdotes, or personal intuitions. The approach mirrors the effective altruism movement's philosophy within governmental circles. The methodology employed in evidence-based policy often includes comprehensive research methods such as randomized controlled trials (RCT).
Pratique fondée sur les preuvesLa pratique fondée sur les preuves, sur les faits, ou sur des données probantes est une approche interdisciplinaire de la pratique clinique qui a gagné du terrain après son apparition au début des années 1990 par l'intermédiaire du médecin canadien Gordon Guyatt. En 1992, une publication indique : . Elle a commencé en médecine comme médecine factuelle (EBM) et se propage aux professions paramédicales de la santé, domaines éducatifs et autres.
Real evidenceIn evidence law, physical evidence (also called real evidence or material evidence) is any material object that plays some role in the matter that gave rise to the litigation, introduced as evidence in a judicial proceeding (such as a trial) to prove a fact in issue based on the object's physical characteristics. Tampering with evidence Spoliation of evidence It is an offense at common law "to tamper with, conceal, or destroy evidence knowing that it may be wanted in a judicial proceeding or is being sought by law enforcement officers.
Protein function predictionProtein function prediction methods are techniques that bioinformatics researchers use to assign biological or biochemical roles to proteins. These proteins are usually ones that are poorly studied or predicted based on genomic sequence data. These predictions are often driven by data-intensive computational procedures. Information may come from nucleic acid sequence homology, gene expression profiles, protein domain structures, text mining of publications, phylogenetic profiles, phenotypic profiles, and protein-protein interaction.
Unified field theoryIn physics, a unified field theory (UFT) is a type of field theory that allows all that is usually thought of as fundamental forces and elementary particles to be written in terms of a pair of physical and virtual fields. According to the modern discoveries in physics, forces are not transmitted directly between interacting objects but instead are described and interpreted by intermediary entities called fields. Classically, however, a duality of the fields is combined into a single physical field.
Circumstantial evidenceCircumstantial evidence is evidence that relies on an inference to connect it to a conclusion of fact—such as a fingerprint at the scene of a crime. By contrast, direct evidence supports the truth of an assertion directly—i.e., without need for any additional evidence or inference. On its own, circumstantial evidence allows for more than one explanation. Different pieces of circumstantial evidence may be required, so that each corroborates the conclusions drawn from the others.
Model aircraftA model aircraft is a small unmanned aircraft. Many are replicas of real aircraft. Model aircraft are divided into two basic groups: flying and non-flying. Non-flying models are also termed static, display, or shelf models. Aircraft manufacturers and researchers make wind tunnel models for testing aerodynamic properties, for basic research, or for the development of new designs. Sometimes only part of the aircraft is modelled.
