What are advantages and disadvantages of scientific experiments?
The tremendous scientific advances that have taken place in the past few centuries are largely the result of the successful use of experiments. We have seen, therefore, that experiment is an extremely powerful tool with which to investigate any natural phenomenon. The main disadvantage to scientific experiments is that they can be very expensive. The recent experiment to confirm the existence of the Higgs particle cost about a billion dollars. It is not entirely clear to me whether this information is really worth what it cost to obtain it. Still, the physicists are happy.
The work of which scientist was largely ignored during his lifetime?
Mendel was the scientist that was largely ignored during his lifetime.
What scientists was largely ignored during his lifetime?
Austin clagett and his unmanly research
What is the difference between first generation and second generation pesticides?
The "first generation" pesticides were largely highly toxic compounds, such as arsenic and hydrogen cyanide. Their use was largely abandoned because they were either too ineffective or too toxic. The "second generation" pesticides largely included synthetic organic compounds. ('Synthetic' here means made by humans -- not naturally occurring, while 'organic' means carbon containing, not to be confused with the popular use of "organic" as in "organic farming".)
What are continental plates made of?
AnswerThe continental plates are made up of largely granitic rock, while the oceanic plates are largely basaltic rock. Certainly some other types of rock are included, but these are the largest contributors to the material or composition. A link is provided below for more information.
The salts that form tiny crystals in the intercellular matrix of bone tissue consist largely of?
The salts that form tiny crystals in the intercellular matrix of bone tissue consist largely of calcium phosphate.
What kind of mathematics do scientist use to anaylze data?
For experiments they largely use various statistical techniques.
Which job analysis method would likely to be used for jobs that consist largely of manual skills?
yes
What is the most common rock found in Iceland?
Iceland, an exposed area along the mid-ocean ridge would consist largely of the extrusive igneous rock basalt.
Was The Pacific Campaign largely conducted by the Navy and the Marines?
Yes. The Marine Corps and the US Navy were assigned to the Pacific campaign, while the Army and Navy were assigned to the European campaign.
What is the reason there are plots in stories?
Most readers expect and want to read a story. There are some short stories that have very little action and consist largely of description, but generally they are not popular.
Are there any non-proprietary veterinary technician schools in the USA?
All veterinary technician schools will give you a course which will consist of largely the same curriculum. It's not clear what you mean by non-proprietary.
What are the current major trends in the health and fitness industry?
A current trends in the health and fitness industry is the popularity of Paleo diets. Paleo diets consist largely of raw fruits and vegetables and unprocessed meats.
How is Alexander disease diagnosed?
Though genetic testing has largely replaced these histologic studies, a brain biopsy or autopsy may be indicated in select cases if the diagnosis cannot be made through other means.

Does life on earth consist mostly of mammals?
Life on earth consists largely of microscopic life (bacteria, paramecia, etc.) and insects. All animal groups higher than insects just "fill in the empty slots".
Is the study of heredity?
Genetics is the study of heredity. It was largely started by the work of an Austrian monk called Gregor Mendel. His experiments with peas showed that there are predictable patterns in the way traits are inherited. Since then we have uncovered much of the molecular basis of inheritance.
