A phenomenon is something that is seen to occur or

exist: it is observed.

Information obtained by making observations and

making measurements of them is data.

Data is collected or gathered. It is then processed

and analysed in a process of analysis. Unprocessed,

unanalysed data is raw data.

Scientists look for meaning in data: they interpret it

in order to reach conclusions or to conclude things.

Data and other information form the evidence for

these conclusions.

Scientists find chaotic dynamics useful in explaining observed phenomena such as the way

populations grow.

Fleming made the initial observations, but Ernst Chain and Howard Florey developed the

first antibiotic.

The new experiments are an attempt to explain high levels of ozone in the troposphere across

much of the southern hemisphere during parts of the year. This phenomenon was revealed

in 1990 by data collected by NASA satellites.

Rather than spend weeks cruising the ocean gathering data, a pair of researchers have

scaled down the ocean and rebuilt it in their laboratory.

The report criticises NASA' s insistence that all raw data from the EOSDOS satellites must

be processed into a singie standardised format.

The study of Ufestyle threw up overwhelming evidence. 'When we analysed the data i we

ere able to conclude that smoking was emphatically a cause of lung cancer. '

The data were pooled for statistical analysis with a single datum included for each bird.

At the time, it was believed that 85 per cent of the fuel was in the reactor shaft. This was

based on measurements made in 1986, but the data were interpreted incorrectly.

Jacobsen based his conclusion on an analysis of the decay of samarium-147 mto neodymium-

143, which has a half-life of 106 billion years.
