Maciej Koch - Janusz, a researcher at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, and Zohar Ringel of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, have now explored the exciting possibility of harnessing machine learning not as a numerical simulator or a «hypothesis tester», but as an integral part of the physical reasoning process.

However, many industry insiders say these changes are opening up unique opportunities for researchers who focus on translating basic science into real - world cures and are eager to explore the molecular mechanisms of disease, test hypotheses, and do work that benefits patients.

Although the researchers were pleased — and a little surprised — to see the findings so clearly support their hypothesis, the study is just the first in a series they have planned to continue exploring the mind - gut connection, including another examination of the data to see whether a correlation exists between fermented food intake and autism symptoms, said Hilimire.

Some researchers suggest that there are not in fact any metabolic advantages in low - carbohydrate diets and that weight loss results simply from reduced caloric intake, probably due to the increased satiety effect of protein.12 Others instead promote the hypothesis that there is indeed a distinct metabolic advantage, which has recently been explored in more detail, raising interest in the role of VLCKD in weight loss and effects on metabolism in general.13 The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of conservation of energy, has in effect controlled the concepts for the basis of weight loss for over a century — resulting in a difficulty in accepting other ways of thinking.

If you were a researcher on formative assessment, what questions or hypotheses would you want to explore in order to provide further support for formative assessment?

The researchers did not explore the idea as fully as they did with their other hypothesis, and there are a variety of reasons why the idea may not have been supported in the one study where they tested it (e.g., it's possible that rating strangers instead of friends would have elicited the change in perception of mate value).
