It depends on your research field and topic. But just think more about the quality of work. It also depends on whom you are. If you have a big group, you might publish 20 or more. If you work alone, one or two is enough. It is not good in case you just expect the quantity as much as possible.

Yes for malignancy and suspicious nodules. If one lob is normal, the other lobe with surgery indication other than malignancy lobectomy may be sufficient,

Giovanni, I am not sure that I understand your answer. What is the role of gene in an information processing unit like the brain is?

Really Roy, you seem to be making a habit of this. If I read you correctly you now are conflating the concepts of assorted meanings of the word "problem". And you also are conflating the concept of the requirement for a longer neck in an individual gerenuk, with the (better) adaptation of the necks of the species. No matter how intelligent that gerenuk might be, even if it is as intelligent as Belloc's spotted red fungus, that will neither help its neck grow longer, nor help it's species' necks grow longer. (You know better?) So is that the gerenuk's "problem" is it? If you really think so, I direct your attention to the aphorism that if there is something you can do nothing about, it is not a problem; it is reality. Is that gerenuk's neck the species' problem? Then the best move for the species, if that gerenuk's "problem" is its need to have a longer neck than its own neck, especially assuming its neck is unusually short, is to let the podgy little blighter die in well-deserved misery, thereby increasing the mean neck length of the population, right? Natural (or possibly unnatural) selection in action, right? Well, if you don't agree with that proposed intelligent solution, could you please tell me why? Are you, with your profound understanding of intelligence, able to think of a better solution to the gerenuk's "problem"? Or to the gerenuk species' problem? Or do you think the solution to the problem is optimal and therefore cannot be improved? In either case, please support your view with some form of informal semi-quantitative argument, in which you explain the role and seat of the operative intelligence responsible for the solution, either that of the specimen, or of the species (no point being niggly about precise quantitative values in a gedankenexperiment, is there?) If you can manage that, I will be right routed, along with my objection, and will have to retire to prepared positions, reduced to asking you meekly about short necks in Eriauchenius gracilicollis or Trachelophorus giraffa. But not till then. However, I regret to inform you Roy, that you have erred in one conjecture: that I "...believe that intelligence helps us to solve problems but has no role in constructing the solution to those problems..." I could not believe in that, partly because I think it is too incoherent in itself to have any operative meaning, and partly because I personally doubt that you could rephrase it to have any unambiguous meaning whatsoever. If you personally know of how to solve problems without intelligence, let me know what kind of problem or solution that might be. If you know of examples of evolutionary adaptation that have been achieved through the application of intelligence by the population thus advantaged, I would love to hear of them too, together with your justification of your assessment of the feat. But feel welcome to call my bluff on that one. A word to the wise: before you take up that challenge, make sure that you can distinguish between my solution of the problem of how to observe the development of the first instar maize stalk borer (Busseola fusca), and the solution by means of which a computer may find the factors of 23922664286329 or 239226642863599. Careful! Have fun! Jon

"even profiles are no longer used" : be careful with that ! The best example is SysML which is defined as "as an extension of a subset of the UML". To do so, it uses...UML profiles ! ;) And SysML has been used for several years now. Good luck for your ph thesis :)

No study has reported adjusted mean differences, unfortunately, but your posts were of immensurable help! Thanks for your patience! Giovanni

Ian's comment is true, a few species of monkeys were described based in living holotypes that were included in collections after they died of "natural causes". That's just fine, but apart the advantage to have other sources of data to increment the original description, this action is purely humanistic. Well, arguable, since one can consider captivity as a condition of torture. My point is that scientific collecting is justifiable when vouchers are mandatory, such in the case of a new species description, as stablished, for example, by the International code of Zoological Nomenclature: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/hosted-sites/iczn/code/

Ther are such elements like immitance inverters. They are two-ports consisting of two voltage/current controlled voltage/current sources. E.g. voltage at the input of the inverter controls current of the output current source and vice versa. When the transconductance of VCCSs is imaginary then the inverter is passive. Such passive immitance inverters are used to model e.g. transformers. I would like also point out that the nonlinearity is not related to passivity.

Having done research in which sexual orientation was a relevant factor, I have not found any such stated guidelines under the AMA or APA. In the absence of such explicit guidelines, I think it is best to follow the same standards applied to race/ethnicity. I believe that should go for any identifying characteristics such as religion, marital status, etc. If the data is included in your study you should have a justification for it. If working within a research institution, this would likely be refereed by the institutional review board.

in addition to what Ivan Lesov have said please see the attachment:

It's important to have attribution, so that if there is need for clarification or to verify, there is someone who has put his or her name on it. That is not so with Wikipedia entries.

I would suggest "Gaussian Process", a Bayesian non-parametric method that widely used in Machine Learning. It is a regression method that consider data uncertainty.

Well, there are a number of options (open-source) that are available. Since you have been using SPM I assume you prefer to work with MATLAB, if that is the case I would recommend the FAIR toolbox http://www.mic.uni-luebeck.de/people/jan-modersitzki/software/fair.html or my own registration toolbox http://www.imt.liu.se/people/dafor/software.html The FAIR toolbox to some extent suffers from its computational performance. If you do not prefer MATLAB there are a number of different options available: ITK Niftyreg elastix ANTS FLIRT Hope that some of this options will be useful to you.

Just to chime in here. It is a broad topic so the objectives of any monitoring program need to be specified. That said, monitoring is about change or deviation from a baseline condition, exploring process and discovering anomalies along the way..maybe.

Firstly serum wears off after sometime and thus it is not advisable to prepare drugs in serum for storage. Depending on the solubility of the drug, you should prepare and aliquots higher stock concentration and only dilute with the media in which the cells grow when you are about performing your assay. As said above, it does not make any difference whether the drugs are made with or without serum since in the end, the media of the cells if it contains serum will be much greater than your drug solution. Besides, the cells are supposed to survive naturally in the normal media first before the active ingredients in the drug kills them. Depriving them of a necessary requirement implies hampering their normal growth and might skewed your results.

Great many thanks for all these helpful references. @Stephan Schnierer: definitions are always so variable, but yes I think it probably fits into 'indigenous small scale commercial fishing' we are working with local fishers who use traditional methods to fish octopus (gleaning with spears on intertidal reef flats) which are then purchased by commercial collectors who process and export the octopus internationally.

If i understand your comment correctly, you purified DNA again from the gel? ("quantity of recovered DNA was lot less.") If you use a gel extraction kit, you have to adjust the buffer ratio to fit the agarose % of the gel. If you didn't adjust to the higher % gel, then this might be a reason for less recovered DNA. Other thing that might affect recovery of DNA from a gel is the use of the UV light, it really damages DNA fast. What I do, when i do a gel extraction, is use a UV light that has an extra cover on it. This way the uv intensity is less but the fragments still show up so i am able to excise the fragment of interest from gel. (And also minimize UV exposure time to a minimum.) But if this was not the question you asked, please ignore my comments ;)

The School of Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University (www.saybrook.edu) has several students and faculty members who are very interested in this research topic as well as qi gong, mindfulness, energy healing, etc. I can’t post any personal info but if you go to the website you will find contact information for Donald Moss, the School Chair. He could point you in the best direction. You might also want to look at the Center for Mind-Body Medicine (www.cmbm.org). Julie Staples is their research coordinator and James Gordon is the director.

I don't know it would increase mutation rate. But it will likely impact natural selection via impacts on photosynthesis, thre extent of acclimation on different individual, etc. It might also change artificial selection in plants. Superior genotypes under 400 ppm CO2 might not be superior at 600 ppm. However, having said this, I have tested this hypothesis under controlled conditions with spruce at the seedling stage and have not found a significant G x E. But these were fairly small short-term studies.

I'd like to add that being well-adjusted to one's current environment is not the same thing as being mature. If you are interested in using measurement tools other than self-reports, there happen to be sentence completion tests relevant to both questions. The Rotter (RISB) is scored for Adjustment. Loevinger's Washington University Sentence Completion Test (WUSCT) is scored for ego developmental level. Both are well validated. But they take time to master (especially Loevinger's - Rotter's is actually pretty easy) and each protocol must be hand-scored by a trained human.

How exactly did you calibrate your system. If you used OpenCV, jsut read the documentation to get some more insights. http://opencv.willowgarage.com/documentation/python/camera_calibration_and_3d_reconstruction.html In: cv::ReprojectImageTo3D the Q matrix describes how the depth map is transformed into the 3D coordinate space. Probably it will be transformed into the world coord which, if you used OpenCV completely should have itss origin at one of your stereo cams and the scale might be defined by the checkerboard pattern size.

Peter Indeed, his might not be the case in general, but I was responding to the internal conversion of a dye in solution as stated in the reply by A Kumar "Kni=intrinsic non-radiative decay rate and is basically an internal conversion process in which electronic energy is converted into the vibrational energy of fluorophore and since vibrational energy is driven by thermal process, it increases with the increase in temperature"
