When an experimental study states "The group with treatment X had significantly less disease ( p = 1%)", many people interpret this statement as being equivalent to "there is a 99% chance that if I do treatment X it will prevent disease." This essay explains why these statements are not equivalent.

Analyzing density of Gel Bands Using ImageJ
Enzyme assay
Beckman DU640 UV/Vis spectrophotometer Enzyme assays are laboratory methods for measuring enzymatic activity. They are vital for the study of enzyme kinetics and enzyme inhibition .
Scientific control
Take identical growing plants and give fertilizer to half of them. If there are differences between the fertilized plant group and the unfertilized "control" group, these differences may be due to the fertilizer. A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the single independent variable .

Inoculation is the placement of something that will grow or reproduce, and is most commonly used in respect of the introduction of a serum , vaccine , or antigenic substance into the body of a human or animal, especially to produce or boost immunity to a specific disease. It can also be used to refer to the communication of a disease to a living organism by transferring its causative agent into the organism, the implanting of microorganisms or infectious material into a culture medium such as a brewers vat or a petri dish, or the placement of microorganisms or viruses at a site where infection is possible. The verb to inoculate is from Middle English inoculaten , which meant "to graft a scion" (a plant part to be grafted onto another plant); which in turn is from Latin inoculare , past participle inoculat- .

SMART / SMARTER is a mnemonic to guide people when they set objectives, often called key performance indicators (KPIs), for example for project management , employee performance management and personal development .Lean Startup
"Lean Startup" is an approach for launching businesses and products, that relies on validated learning , scientific experimentation, and iterative product releases to shorten product development cycles , measure progress, and gain valuable customer feedback. In this way, companies, especially startups, can design their products or services to meet the demands of their customer base without requiring large amounts of initial funding or expensive product launches.
