What characteristics make the study and research methods used quantitative?

When conducting research, it is necessary to know the difference between qualitative and quantitative research methods. Locate 2 qualitative and 2 quantitative research articles on a topic in your program of study from the University Library. Include links to the articles you selected. Write an analysis about the articles you found that addresses the following questions: What characteristics make the study and research methods used quantitative? What characteristics make the study and research methods used qualitative? What are the major differences between the 2 types of research methods? Refer to Qualitative and Quantitative Terminology for examples of qualitative or quantitative language that may be used in each article. To apply these research methods to your own study, select a research method (qualitative or quantitative) that you might potentially use to achieve your study purpose. Write an explanation of the research method you selected and why this method appropriately aligns with your problem, purpose, and research question.

Examine and discuss the critically growing maritime threats brought about by advances in technology.

Ninety percent of the goods transported around the Earth are moved by oil tankers and container vessels that travel our oceans. Crews get smaller and ships get larger as the industry adopts automation, remote monitoring, and remote navigational systems, all of which can be cyber-attacked. Researchers from the University of Texas verified that it was possible to change a ship’s direction by simulating a GPS signal to target a ship’s onboard navigation system. Imagine this scenario: A shipping container filled with chemical or biological weapons is stowed in the hold of a cargo ship, which is caused to run aground in a major U.S. port (e.g., Boston, New Orleans, or Los Angeles). There, the weapon is detonated remotely by terrorists. Examine and discuss the critically growing maritime threats brought about by advances in technology. Cite specific examples. Outline potential countermeasures to protect both ports and ships from involuntarily participating in a WMD terrorist attack. In fact, you may find yourself inventing a countermeasure that does not exist today!
