it takes time for women and other minorities to achieve higher degrees-- students faculty

testing the effectiveness of fluoride as a decay preventative,

and providing a place where the research could be conducted

What is the benefit of housing professional schools (school of law, medicine, dentistry, etc.) within research universities?

Professionals in training can learn about the latest research in their fields from the faculty who conducted the research

the early studies on the chemical properties of stannous fluoride conducted by Mathers are best described as which kind of research?

which of the following statements is true about the difference between pure and applied research?

applied research deals with questions that have a practical use, while pure research simply seeks to uncover facts.

why did muhler include a group of children in his study who received water rather than stannous fluoride on their teeth?

he needed a control group to compare with the groups who received fluoride

true

empirical evidence is data that can be used to prove or disprove a hypothesis

true

why would empirical evidence be especially important to studies like Kinsey's?

the controversial nature of this research means that the findings had to be objectively defensible
