Accessibility - Science topic

Yes, my university offers remote tracks for a PhD in music education.

These paths cannot be applied to the same way for learning at different ages, with different initial skills, for different tasks. For the development of thinking skills (for example, in school), the use of artificial intelligence technically complicates the learning process, it is advisable to use it for the general organization of the educational process. For qualified specialists and scientists, artificial intelligence can be successfully used to collect and structure information, to help in developing and making decisions. For the paths indicated in the question, it is necessary to structure them by age, tasks, responsibilities, and degree of automation use.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment and for opening up such an important aspect of the discussion around open science. Indeed, the idea of simply uploading research articles to a subscription-free specialist platform, allowing them to gain recognition solely based on their inherent scientific value, is quite appealing and aligns closely with the foundational ideals of open science.

However, as you insightfully anticipate, several practical challenges arise. The issue of quality assurance through peer-review remains central. Peer review, despite its recognized flaws, currently serves as a critical filter, ensuring methodological rigor and validity, albeit imperfectly. Removing this element altogether might inadvertently introduce concerns regarding credibility and reliability, particularly from within the academic community itself. Scientists often rely heavily on peer-reviewed publications to assess research quality, influencing decisions related to funding, career advancement, and research collaborations.

Nevertheless, I fully share your concerns regarding the current system’s shortcomings. The dominance of large publishing corporations has increasingly commodified academic knowledge, creating barriers that restrict both the dissemination and the equitable access to scientific research, thus compromising the very essence of knowledge advancement.

A potential middle ground could involve developing community-managed, non-profit platforms with robust peer-review mechanisms that uphold scholarly standards without economic barriers. Such platforms could preserve peer-review rigor while dramatically increasing accessibility and transparency.

Ultimately, your point underscores the critical need for ongoing conversations about reforming academic publishing. Embracing new models that balance openness with quality assurance may indeed pave the way toward a more equitable and truly open scientific landscape.

Warm regards,

Dear Sarvar Umirov ,

While AI has fueled a rise in academic dishonesty, paradoxically, it also houses the potential solution to uphold academic integrity. This equilibrium represents the dual-faceted nature of technological advancements.

Good day, Miss Hannah, to help you to decide on what reagent to use and to answer your question. Reagents in liquid form are the most efficient and recommended reagents used in testing and analyzing specimens under automated testing. It produces a more accurate, precise, and faster result because they dissolve more quickly in water samples and other samples and are able to develop a quicker chemical effect. Moreover, in terms of convenience, a large array of affordable liquid reagents are available in the market today. But sadly, liquid reagents’ shelf life usually lasts up to one year from the date of manufacture, unlike the reagents in tablet form which can last for two years. Nevertheless, liquid reagents are still the recommended and preferable reagent form.

I hope this can help!

I would argue space syntax is the lesser-known method to quantify accessibility - at least where I live. Conventionally, retail consultant draw up catchments for sites, and calculate the population within the catchment. The professional practice can vary by logic of defining a catchment, but usually there is a time limit defined for each mode of transport. How this translates to catchment can vary on the spatial data you have: if you only have spatial network, you will have a more rough catchment, compared to having traffic data. You can further refine this by weighing population cohorts by (1) their preferred mode of transport, (2) their characteristic time limit they are willing to travel. In consulting, a preliminary market study in the area supplies the data for this. What is also important, and is completely neglected in space syntax, is the function of the place. This is not a critique, ss is an analytic method that describes an attribute (accessibility, in this case) from one perspective. For retail, we have a spectrum between convenience goods and comparison goods, the former needs to be around in every corner, and the latter can be at the end of the world, you will still travel there (e.g guitar repair shop). You can apply this logic to other functions as well, based on how often they are used (parks, post offices, schools, etc.). Finally, I would highlight that space syntax has multiple analyses that can take a different perspective on accessibility, so I suggest constructing a multidimensional metric specific for your project. For example, you can compute integration globally, limited to 3-5 steps, in convex or axial graphs, and they will be slightly different. For convenience good-type functions, you can also zoom into urban space and run VGA control and isovist drift analyses to check if they are visually in a good spot, or hiding. You would have to identify main footpaths first to see which vantage points are important, which might necessitate a field study before you analyse. My firm also developed a big data-based analysis that takes into account interactions between close functions (like mutualism, and parasitism). What I am trying to say, integrate methods to fit your needs.

Wolfgang is correct. Assuming you assigned copyright in the paper to the then publisher, then that publisher owns the rights to it and you are NOT free to republish it. If the publisher has since gone out of business, it might have transferred all the copyrights it owned to another body, or if it did not, then your paper is a classic orphan work - in copyright but with no known owner (the owner is NOT you). Either way it's infringement if you republish, but the chances of anyone suddenly appearing and suing you for infringement is low in the case of an orphan work, rather higher if the copyright was transferred to another publisher. So this is a judgement call for you; republish and risk getting sued, or don't republish.

i hope this helps

a research project entitled "Identification and quantification of the significant factors affecting consumers’ satisfaction of bus-based park and ride service " designed to identify and quantify the main factors affecting consumers’ satisfaction of bus-based park and ride service in Madinah City, Saudi Arabia. The study is being conducted by Dr. Valerian Kwigizile and Mohammed Albalwi from Western Michigan University, Department of Civil and Construction Engineering. This research is being conducted as part of the dissertation requirements for Mohammed Albalwi. This survey is comprised of 4 parts asking questions about the socio-economic characteristics, travel information, your satisfaction and preferences toward bus features, bus station features, parking lot features and travel features.

When plants have too little water, leaves turn brown and wilt. This also occurs when plants have too much water. The biggest difference between the two is that too little water will result in your plant's leaves feeling dry and crispy to the touch while too much water results in soft and limp leaves.

Dear Erin Krichilsky I'm just wondering why you are looking for "a journal that accepts publications in two languages or at least is bilingual friendly". What is it good for to publish in different languages? We used to publish our research papers in German back in the 1970's and 1980's, but then we realized that the papers were not read by many researchers abroad. Then we switched to English to make sure that our papers are read worldwide (and eventually cited).

Hello Antonio Rosato

HADDOCK is a very good Protein-Protein docking server, and the new upgraded version, HADDOCK 2.4 is much more advanced comparatively. Besides the results from the server come refined and energy-minimized by default. For knowing the active and passive interacting residues, you dont even have to other software, since a server named CPORT, from the same developers can help you with the list of active and passive residues in the pdb files you have uploaded, and hence these residues can be used for docking analysis in HADDOCK 2.4.

Here are the links for the both these servers:

Hope it helps.

I agree with Feng, it is not possible to do it at national level (also depend on country). Each city has different density and land use, different needs of transport like some may be suitable for BRTS, some for metro or some needs only satisfied with city bus system. Also the paying capacity will be different in different city depending upon metropolitan area or small city.

At national level (individual for country), it is possible to come up with some thumb rules like with such urban density and land use, we can propose such transportation mode or combination of modes etc.

the base position (with ref value at zero), and the base acceleration

1) Collect all potatoes in a fixed area and weigh them (individually or collectively depending on what sort of data you need). That will give you yield per square meter, and multiply by however many square meters are in an acre, hectare, or other unit of land area. Measuring by potato might be useful if you are going to include crop value and there are different returns for different grades of potato.

2) Unless harvest is on a continual cycle, harvest is usually measured for a season. With crop rotation to minimize pest problems I am only familiar with a field producing a single crop a year (possibly every other year). As such yield per week does not make any sense.

3) Easily measured at harvest, and by taking a sample that you store using standard commercial methods and periodically assess rot.

4) You can use #3 to start a database of diseases in your area. I would also suggest talking to local growers and processing facilities to get a broader sample of the diseases in your area.

One challenge is to accomodate the necessary room for wheels and motors. The the classical bogie-design does not fit, so you have to make compromises. Possible outputs are: less room in the interior, a design with more unsprung masses etc.For the latter: just ask Wiener Linien about ULF!

Several countries has their own national guidelines for accessibility website design. One can refer to these guidelines.

In India, we refer to GIGW guidelines, which are available at -

All the best !

You will need to closely define your term accessibility.

Hello,

Here is link to online book "Forecasting: principles and practice". The book uses R language

Thank you for you answer Bryan. I have already looked at these terms on some scientific basis, such as scopus, science direct and webofscience. Most work on the subject assumes that more accessibility results in more mobility and participation in activities. I would like to find specific papers that have tried to verify if this assumption is true.

thank you :)

I have not used qualitative software in 5 years, but in 2013, NVivo did NOT work with JAWS or any other screenreader I tried,. I would be extremely surprised if this has changed. I used Atlas with JAWS and could use most of its features. I would try Atlas first; you can probably get a trial version. If this research you are doing on your own and your sample is relatively small, then you may not want to use specialized software. Instead, you may want to work out your own coding strategy using MS Word or similar program. The Institute for Community Inclusion at the Univercity of Massachusetts Boston used to use Atlas because of its accessibility with JAWS, and you may want to check with the ICI to see if they are still using Atlas or if they have found something else. There are other qualitative software packages, but I have no experience with them. You may need to download trials with someone who knows that software and experiment with your screenreader. Good luck!

Thanks for the message. I'm working on a couple of publications myself. Let's see if we gather interest from others and if we can create momentum.  Perhaps co-publication?

You could use Randles-Sevcik equation that correlates ip (peak current of the CV) with several variables: scan rate, concentration, electrode area, diffusion coefficient and number of electrons. If an electrochemical process , e.g, this of ferrocyanide or ferrocene carboxylic acid,...follows this equation (you measure ip for different v and obtain linearity when you represent ip versus v1/2), this means that is controlled by diffusion and you can use this equation for calculating the area. In the slope of this line you have a constant, the number of electrons (you know it), the concentration (known), the diffusion coefficient (tabulated for ferrocyanide in a specific medium) and the only unknown is the area. This is an estimation, or can be used to compare two electrodes.

Another possibility is to measure without faradaic process, only the capacitive current and then compare with the capacitance/area of the pure electrode. In this case, the capacitive current is proportional to the scan rate and not to the square root of the scan rate. 

Do a quick study on the art of the pop-up.  Watch how the weekend markets works in your area.  Always something to learn from observation 

Dear colleague,

We have recently published a book dealing with numerical modelling of igneous petrogenesis. It also includes chapters on practical aspects you are asking about - so  it perhaps could give you a head start::

I trust that this helps,

Vojtech Janousek

Also take a look at the Proceedings of ACM ASSETS Conference.

Hi Rita,

The Nielsen's argument to consider 5 users is based on the fact that you have a well defined target audience and that your focus is on qualitative results.

When you have similar goals and you are also considering accessibility, challenging contexts of use should be considered, for instance, different types of disability, multiples assistive technologies in place, and even different configurations/customizations of the assistive technologies in place.

In a recent text Nielsen presents that the best ROI comes when you consider 8 users: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/how-many-test-users/

In the same text, Nielsen says that for larger number of participants "Some design projects had multiple target audiences and the differences in expected (or at least suspected ) behaviors were large enough to justify the expense of sampling additional users"

This said, I've seen works presenting qualitative in depth studies involving specific target audiences where authors considered less than 5 people due to the difficulty of finding representative participants. Thus, if you are planning to consider a wide range of disabilities/capacities, I suggest you to consider few participants for each of the main characteristics of your target audience, this way you can cover the main accessibility barriers and/or usability problems. If you have a specific target audience, I suggest you to follow the approach presented by Nielsen, with multiple cycles of evaluation involving 5-8 participants.

Best regards,

Vagner

My research is focused on the reconstruction of potential paths between archaeological sites, but it is inevitable to apply the process to contemporary landscape!

Dear Karla:

Thanks for the links, I guess I will benefit from them,.

Dear Ricardo:  guess you are right, as my research on digital divide shows that most countries suffer from deficiencies in this area specially gender digital divide. I guess we are focusing more on accessibility issues and trying to relate that to other issues.

Appreciate your contributions here

This has nothing to do with capatalism but with greed, which appears, alaas, to be nature for some of our species. Part of our kind just wants to own more then the people arround them. You can only own more if you have somekind of ownership (be it perminent or temperary) over goods your neigbour does not have.

But this is, again, not capatalism, it has also occured in socialism, pre-capatialist societies and then like. Societies were this greed has not occured are few if any.

"Unlimited greed for gain" writes Max Weber, "is not in the least identical with capitalism, and is still less its spirit. Capitalism may even be identical with the restraint, or at least a rational tempering, of this irrational impulse."

Srivastav,

Try RACOGS from the groups of Lydia Kavraki and Cecilia Clementi. I have tried it and it works pretty well. 

I don't think it's a matter of course itself; it's rather a matter of which university. For example, some offer better services for blind students, others are not very well equipped. I found this article, which is not very updated (2010) but gives an idea of what I am saying. The author reviewed the web pages accessible to blind students from 183 institutions. If the web pages are good, that should also be a marker of institutions caring about blind students and assisting them better than others.

This 2014 article might provide some insight; it refers to the iPad in particular because, as the author explains, that is used most often for students with moderate to severe disabilities. Hope it helps!

Frederic, there are some ontologies in development. One example is on physically controllable pointing devices, see http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.3109/17483107.2012.723238.

But up to now, there have not been any ontological matching initiatives for personalized preference portability across different applications, platforms, and devices.

BTW. You may consider 'accessibility' as another relevant tag for this question.

Hello,

Andras gave the good answer: it totally depends on what do you mean by "mathematics". Simple maths can be efficiently processed through screen reader and speech synthesis, but mathematics have a bidimentional notation which generate a lot of problems for visually impaired. A voice (like braille notation) gives a single dimensional representation of mathematics, as for music or chemistry. There are two main challenges: providing a good spoken sentence as close as possible to natural language, AND supporting interactions with formulas to help visually impaired people to UNDERSTAND the formulas, not only to have access to the content of formulas. There are several project in these field, as mentioned by Andras, Gopal or Alistair. You could additionally have a look at the MAWEN project (D.Archambault, K.Miesenberger, et al.). For math support in Braille (but for me the issues are very closed), you may check Heumader et al, Mascret et al(;-)), Archambault et al., ... Look at the procedings of the last ICCHP conference in Linz (and former ICCHP).

Best regards,

Bruno
