A pilot test is a method used to test the design and/or methods and/or instrument prior to carrying out the research. Can be small, 3-5, since the purpose is not to collect da â¦ ta but to refine your process and/or instrument.
Consider, for example, plumeria, or frangipani, Hawaii`s most abundant bloom. Leis of this fragrant, fragile flower are used to welcome guests but should never be given to sick people. Plumeria grows wild in cemeteries and is considered bad luck for people in ill health. Each island has its special flower.
Leis featuring maile -- actually a long, scented vine -- are made from intertwining the leaves and stems, usually into an open-ended style. One of the earliest lei-making materials, it is linked to the goddess Laka and the hula.
