I think that you need to think about creating more than one channel of communication at difference social media, at the same time it is helpful to integrate the tools to minimize the time needed to moderate them. Create LinkedIn group, Facebook Page/group, twitter account, etc. What I mean by integration is to link your website to Facebook where each post on the website will be posted automatically to social networks (http://twitterfeed.com/), and Facebook to twitter, and linkedIn.. there's an option in twitter and linkedIn makes every post on facebook posted automatically to twitter and linkedIn. I, and a colleague of mine, have been using Facebook as a tool to increase interest in science and we found this is helpful (https://www.facebook.com/CreativeMinds00) However, I think the first challenge it to have an acceptable number of fans, then things will develop in a viral way.

Well. The total idea is not misleading i would say. And I will give you an argument for this. Your argument is: Because we get a huge amount of energy each day there is no fixed amount of energy and therefore the idea is wrong. Well. Nature will not get a problem. That is right. The nature will survive with this energy input. We as mankind will probably also survive for a while as we are a part of the nature. BUT: Our wealth, our huge economy, our lifestyle is not at all able to survive with the total amount of sunshine only. We in germany use 19% of renewable energy for electricity. But globally we more or less run 80% to 90% of all energy consumption out of stock - at a huge pace. Now give your argument again: Because there is so much sunshine we will not have a problem for the next 3 billion years. Well - if you get along with a car running by solar power directly ... I would say I am wrong. As you come along with industries worldwide able to run by windpower only ... we are fine and we do not have a problem. But - conversion of the total energy system worldwide needs quite some invest - in energy terms spoken (and therefore also in money terms). This can not be done in a day and not in a year and not in a decade. So, we better start today. And for the eocnomic theory: I would prefer to have an economic theory able to express some real world problems. I would prefer to have an economic theory able to express what I just say in the theory itself. Today the price of coal is the price of today. But there is no price modelling available for the most precious energy source in the world. There is no price modelling or oil. It is by principle to possible to model a commoditiy which in fact is what builds the real economy by its own heart without having a unit to measure the true external input. A physicist would name someone trying to describe such a system: An Inventor of a perpetual motion machine. Not putting all necessary input into the calculation means sneaking the use of some kind of virtual energy sources. That is exactly what todays modern economic theories are doing. "Making Money" and put that as a part of the GDP into the calculation ... is inventing a perpetual motion machine. It is sneaking. So, I do think I am right. But thank you very much for your reply - I hope my idea gets a bit clearer now. Olaf

Interesting topic, Thank you, all for your valuable contribution on Spirituality, which works magic and wonders, primarily for the patient that the employee to devote and dedicate for the quality and excellence in health care delivery. Secondarily, for the caregiver to have job satisfaction and function efficiently. It is time and need greatly, I feel that we should integrate spirituality into Medicine and Nursing.

Comes to mind "The Name of the Rose", by Umberto Eco, for the topological structure hinted by its labyrinthine library. Maybe somehow off topic: if we are to consider the 'ontological'/'cognicitive' consequences of some of the postulates by Galileo, Descartes, Laplace, and others concerning math's universality for the representation or cognition of reality, it is possible that Goethe's "Faust" may be of some interest. And Kierkegaard's "In Vino Veritas", too. They come to mind because at times discussions concerning math may be predisposed to the kind of opposition shown, for exemple, in the essentialist/instrumentalist antinomy.

Ravi, Put your all queries and doubt, you will find your answers.

Hi, today Hungarian politics represents an interesting example for the case, which is worth some evaluation. Since 2010, we have had a formally people's party and christian democrat coalition on government. with the support of the christian democrats, the government has a two-third majority, first time since the transition period of the country. this means they don't need any support of the other parliamentarian parties for any constitutional changes either. radical changes are going on, mainly in the direction of centralization, budget constrain, socialist-like economic and conservative political changes, but i wouldn't like to evaluate them now. what I consider relevant issues from your point, for instance, how the regulation of the concept of 'family' has altered (one woman-one man-children, e.g. no gay marriage), how the concept of 'human being' has become included in the new basic law (implicit border against abortus). these are regulated in laws. some changes are of lower legal status. for instance the change of the Hungarian national basic educational plan (for primary and secondary schools). obligatory religion class has been implemented, instead of which parents can only chose ethics. however, the centrally planned content of this ethics class contains lots of degrading, traditional concepts of women and their role in society. if u're interested in this, i can look for some articles on this in English.

During my Research Work at I.I.T.,Madras,when internet and Search Engines were yet to see the light of the day,it struck me by God's Grace that application of the Popular Millman's Theorem,well known to any B.Tech.student could lead to easy solution for the difficult Ungrounded Faults in Power System and I applied it with some modifications in Matrix Form for Six Phase System with Mutual Induction being considered. Even though I made Literature survey in the Libraries of not only at I.I.T.,Madras, but also in some other Reputed Institutes going through IEEE Transactions,IEE Proceedings and also English translations of Russian,Japan and a few Journals, I could not find its use even for Three Phase Faults. Yet, even after Submission of the Ph.D. Thesis,I was worrying whether some Researcher has applied it any where in the World as so many people were doing Research in so many Countries. I was worried that if such a simple idea has struck to my mind, it might have been used else where by some body or other earlier. . Only after Good Reports of the Examiners were received I got rid of that worry. And to my Great Surprise it was found that one Examiner from U.S. was so appreciative of that idea that he devoted one full paragraph for praising the work. Such worries and doubts are likely to occur even for Original ideas,though not very common.We can call it Pangs of Pain for the Birth of the Fruit of the Researcher's labor and It has to be endure patiently if at all it occurs. P.S..

They may be practically the same thing but packaged in a different way. One is an "escapee", the other has been "captured" and marked for destruction. You may want to check out my blog about this: http://evolution4.wordpress.com

Well, sure it should pass for uniform, as it is a very flat von Mises. (More accurately, for every epsilon, you will find a von Mises closer to uniform than epsilon.) It should not pass for a mixture of two von Mises distributions, for instance. It first estimates ML parameters for the von Mises from the data, and tests whether that fits the data. If you want to test whether a particular von Mises is fitting the data instead of the ML estimate, it's not difficult to modify the code to do that. So I keep up the statement that it should work :-) However, I have not checked it in the past five years, so no warranties :-) Maybe you are looking for tests for circular uniformity. There are quite many of those, like Rayleigh's test, Rao's spacing test, Kuiper-test, Watson's test for uniformity, something called Aine's test, if I remember well, etc.

It is my firm conviction that age, experience and even a higher degree is no justification that a person can contribute to human knowledge. Students of even lower classes have something to say. Everybody has some idea to put in black and white. They need simply encouragement or a little bit coaxing to come out and write down their ideas. An undergraduate student find that she/he has something that may add to human understanding, there should be no hesitation in doing it. It is upto publisher or editor that after review that find it publishable or not. However, my advice is that at first show your draft to a senior and encouraging faculty, if he/she advises you to publish as such do it or whatever suggestions and comments are made heed them and incorporate them and send your write-up for publication. In later case, you will certainly get your work published.

Douglas, Wouldn't a negative charge * a positive mass produce negative EM energy, while a positive charge * an identical positive mass produce positive EM energy?

So, maybe you need to take cultural issue into account. Maybe in Jordan women are just reluctant, or feel uncomfortable, to be seen by doctors.

Biosurfactants are going to be more common in mineral processing. Flotation and bioleaching technology have used biosurfactants for extraction of different minerals and metals such as chalcopyrite.

There is a design guide called : design_guide 11_floor vibrations due to human activity. This sheet show you how you shall take this problem.

you can freeze the cells with PBS 10% FCS or PBS 10% BSA 1% DMSO and i saw some people freezing cells in MACS buffer 10% DMSO

In the Order Primates, the genus Gorilla has already been metioned, or inferred, a few times (Luis Tito de Morais, "chimps and gorillas"; Jeff Arendt, "Primates"; Shelby Temple, "Mountain gorillas"; and, Sasha Dall, "gorillas"). The largest extant primate species in Grauer's gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri), but the greatest degree of sexual dimorphism among extant primate species is that exhibited by males and females of the two orangutan species: the Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), and the Sumatran orangutan (P. abelii). Among the non-hominoid primates, the greatest sexual dimorphism would be that exhibited by the largest species of Old World monkeys, the mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx), and the drill (M. leucophaeus). Among fossil primate species, Lufengpithecus lufengensis (an extinct ape dating to the latest Miocene of southern China) exhibited greater sexual dimorphism than any extant primate -- so much so, that it was mis-classified as two species, a larger one (which turned out to be male L. lufengensis), and a smaller one (which were actually female L. lufengensis). Above, Tito also draws attention to the Reno et al (2003) paper, "Sexual dimorphism in Australopithecus afarensis was similar to that of modern humans." PNAS 100 (16) 9404-9409. Subsequent analyses of sexual dimorphism in Australopithecus afarensis compared to that of other hominoids has led to a revising of this interpretation. Gordon et al. (2008), in a paper entitled, "Strong Postcranial Size Dimorphism in Australopithecus afarensis: Results From Two New Resampling Methods for Multivariate Data Sets With Missing Data" (Am. J. Phys. Anthro. 135:311–328), indicate that their results show that A. afarensis exhibited post-cranial sexual dimorphism that was similar to what is seen in extant gorillas and orangutans (see attached). They infer this must have meant A. afarensis exhibited rather different mating strategies from Homo spaiens -- again, as has been pointed out above, the apparent strong postcranial sexual dimorphism of A. afarensis would suggest a high degree of male-male competition for mating opportunities with females.

We have to realize that there is normal distribution for biological events including seed germination. The suggestions below (GA, KNO3 etc) will lower germination timings but will not result into germination all at once. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1365-3040.2002.00894.x/pdf

I would agree with first morning urine, midstream,centrifugation 5 min, 24oC, 400 g) was stored at -80oC until analysis.

Anyone who have such experience or knowledge?

Your question will be hard to answer without more detail and some definition of what you mean by "the best conditions". "The best condition" to make 10 mg of product may be very different from "the best condition" to make a few kg of product. Also, are you interested in the highest yield or are costs a concern? Finally, how important is endo/exo selectivity in your case? You get the drift... However, in general, reacting your diene with your dienophile in a non-polar solvent in the presence of a Lewis acid of your choice (ZnCl2 is a good one to start, Et2AlCl2 and TiCl4 are also frequently used) is the way to go. Room temp might be enough. Refluxing in toluene is also very common and in the past I have also had good results by heating the components in dodecane as a solvent doing Diels-Alder reactions on up to 500g scale. Finally, on a smaller scale, Grieco's conditions of using a solution of 4M potassium perchlorate in ether as a solvent has worked well for me, too.

You can use the first pcr product as cDNA and use this for the second pcr . Then you will have the copy of the copy. You can try like this about 4 times and reach an enriched copy number

Here is a conceptual framework (would work better with a diagram): A.Causes of Elevated Troponin 1. Myocardial Infarction- characterized by rise and fall of cardiac markers with ischemic symptoms and/or ECG changes and/or suggestive provocative testing or known coronary artery disease 1a. Type I MI- caused by coronary artery obstruction 1b. Type II MI - caused by "demand ischemia" or other causes of myocardial ischemia due to supply/demand mismatch but not by obstructive coronary artery disease (e.g. sepsis, PE, hypoxemia for other reason) 2. Myocardial injury- characterized by necrosis of myocardial cells but not due to ischemia/myocardial infarction 2a. Sepsis- as noted above, thought by many to be caused by direct toxin related injury from the infection or global hypoperfusion defects 2b. Renal failure 2c. CHF etc. there are many other causes of myocardial injury
