Scientific research may be defined as a systematic, controlled, empirical, and critical investigation of hypothetical propositions about the presumed relations among observed phenomena. This definition contains the basic terms necessary in defining the method of scientific research, and describes a procedure that has been accepted for centuries. However, regardless of its origin, all research begins with a basic question or proposition about a specific phenomenon. For example: Why do viewers select one television program over another?
Scallops come from sandy or muddy bottoms of most seas and oceans.
Nectar from mussels is sweeter, but very similar to clam nectar. Scallops are sort of a special kind of clam, with a large muscle. Often we just get the muscle in restaurants and stores. I have had both whole muscles, from the fisherman, and the muscles, in restaurants and fish markets. The muscle is often breaded and fried, or added to chowder at the last minute, so it doesnât overcook. Oysters are different from clams, scallops, and mussels.
