Awareness - Science topic

I am looking at identified candidate genes for isolated orofacial clefts identified in various populations to see if the associations are replicated in a UK population. (Along with environmental exposures).

I will be using a secondary data source only, and I am aware of papers that explain what analysis is needed for primary data but I haven't seen if this differs for the use of secondary data?

Can I simulate low-band 1800 MHz (n3) and mid-band 3.5 GHz (n78) carrier aggregation? UL and DL. Basically, get some numbers on how the low-band (FDD) carrier gives better performance at the mid-band (TDD) cell edge and indoors. I am aware of NetSim but any other simulator is also OK

When publishing a book, what are the things I need to take of or be aware of?

Thank you

I have been promoting ResearchGate to my students. But, recently, I noticed the information in RG lags GS in terms of citations. So, recently I am thinking there are other benefits to RG that I am not aware of them.

Let me know what you think.

I am looking for hourly load profiles from various entities (residential, industry, microgrid,...) situated in developing countries to test my simulation software. These load profiles can be either electric or thermal. Is anybody aware of a database where I can find these?

Kind regards,

Our group has recently acquired a flow cytometer from another department, just looked at the service contract, it's very expensive.

I cannot seem to find another company that will routinely service this type of equipment.

Thanks for your help

Hi all!

Is anyone aware of a model protein that crystallizes, albeit slowly? (~3-6 weeks)

In control theory we often develop new methods for analysis or controller/observer/filter design and usually evaluate them with numerical simulations. In many papers only a few selected examples are considered.

I think it would be desirable, if there was a catalogue of potential example systems which contains a variety of system models from one could select those which are suitable for a specific use case. A colleague and I are working on such a catalogue (see https://ackrep.org for more information).

After establishing the framework, a basic ontology ("Ontology of Control Systems Engineering") and some preliminary examples (e.g. cart pole system, Brockett integrator, some PDEs and DAEs), we now look for more content. Another colleague recommended http://www.compleib.de/ which contains > 100 linear state space systems.

I am also aware of some other small collections of nonlinear/mechanical systems (available only as PDF file) such as :

Di
fferential Flatness of Mechanical Control Systems: A Catalog of Prototype Systems
, 1995 Murray, Rathinam, Sluis

Are you aware of other catalogues or collections of dynamical systems? Preferably, the equations (and potential metadata) are available in a machine actionable format, but this is optional.

Dear all,

I just finalized my draft of a Paper which I would like to hand into a good (min B) journal. I just wanted to know, is there a service/support I can ask to review my paper critically to improve it and enhance my chances of publishing it?

Thanks in advance for your help with that :-)

What is the best platform for keeping up to date with #STEMeducation calls for papers?

This information doesn't seem to be in one place, and "you need a contact" to be aware of it.

I am well aware of the fact that not everyone needs all of the information. However, wouldn't it be useful if the information was made accessible, at least for new researchers and people working in different countries?

I have been aware of why a Qubit should give more accurate and often lower DNA concentrations over the nanodrop. Today I finally did a direct comparison of the two (Nanodrop one, Qubit 4) and the difference was a little more extreme than I anticipated.

The average multiple difference between the qubit dsDNA (miniprepped bacterial plasmids) and the Nanodrop is ~ 1.8x

Does this mean my plasmids are particularly contaminated or of poor quality?

Is it normal for there to be such a drastic difference?

Why would the nanodrop be able to give dna concentration readouts if they are off by 2x ??

Thanks

I am looking for optimal reference genes for my current study. I was planning to use an online tool (Reffinder) as well as BestKeeper, Normfinder and GeNorm separately to confirm my results.

I am aware that GeNorm is currently only available through the qbase+ platform. I wanted to test it for free first, but unfortunately, I can't start the demo license, I have created a ticket on my profile and got no response. Neither am I able to find contact info (e-mail) to reach support.

Does anybody know how to contact qbase+ or start the demo license? Are there any limitations to activating it? I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you in advance!

I am aware that PC's are 2-D groups of clustered data which explain variance in a dataset, but am unsure how I can refer to PC1 and PC2 when reporting on differences in the produced trends. Since PC1 and PC2 explain the most variability in a set, I wanted to refer to these as the "dominant" and "subdominant" trends for my produced graphs, but am unsure if classifying PC1 and PC2 by the terms above is incorrect.

Any clarification on the differences between PC1 and PC2 and whether I can technically refer to these as "dominant" and "subdominant" trends would be appreciated.

I am aware of the facts that every totally bounded metric space is separable and a metric space is compact iff it is totally bounded and complete but I wanted to know, is every totally bounded metric space is locally compact or not. If not, then give an example of a metric space that is totally bounded but not locally compact.

Dear All,

I was just informed that the company Smolecule is promoting their product 2-Chloroethanol with my research and other publications using trichloroethanol for visualization of proteins in gels (https://www.smolecule.com/products/s566426). PLEASE, I am not aware of 2-Chloroethanol working for the visualization of proteins in gels. Do not get confused. We have used ONLY the trichloroethanol and all my research on the subject, as well as the original paper, used this form. I have asked the Smolecule company to bring the evidence that their molecule works identically to the published one or remove my reference. I will keep you updated if I get any answer.

Hi! What is the difference between Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and regular pain? I am aware of the various symptoms. However, from a cellular standpoint, what is the difference? Any specific receptors/proteins involved? The muscarinic receptors? Thank you!!

I am looking at example 1, Chapter V, Sec. 19 of the Dover edition of Wasow’s “Asymptotic Expansions for Ordinary Differential Equations”. This is the latest edition of which I am aware. Although this example is an excellent one for demonstrating shearing transformations and determining an appropriate change of variables, the alleged fundamental system to eqn. (19.30) is clearly erroneous. The following formula is likewise in error although consistent. Is this overlooked in all reviews and revisions? After all, a fundamental series is, by definition, an exact solution and not just a formal series. One may expect addition of lower-order terms in (19.30), but the author explicitly rules this out and claims to have achieved a terminating series. Can any experts shed some light on this oversight/neglect?

There are different roles for an ESP practitioner. If an ESP practitioner transforms completely understanding all her/his roles, it will enhance students' communication skills. However, there are many teachers working in nursing, marine, aviation, hotel management, tourism development etc. colleges are not aware of their role as an ESP practitioner. Most of them are not even aware of their different role as an ESP practitioner. English Language teaching in professional colleges are similar to any other colleges. They do not design the course, they do not have enough knowledge about the students' future needs in their profession i.e. needs analysis is not being carried out. Texts used for teaching reading is not related to the profession they are preparing to.

Recently, a fashion developed to post preprints on RG or other web media.

As a reminder preprints are manuscripts, thus submitted research that did not underwent the reviewing process.

This is a way of sharing research faster would say some. Indeed, we are unfortunately living in an accelerating world, and science does not stay alongside the road.

However, I see here some reasons to doubt about the possible benefits of posting preprints:

· The benevolent work of the associated Editors and Reviewers is somewhat non-respected, denigrated. It is already sometimes difficult to find some reviewers, and such lack of consideration may lead to really loose the interest for reviewing.

· Ideas or findings in preprints are spread away from their initial scientific domains. For geology (my domain), this may not be a critical problem. But for the medical domain, and overall nowadays, spreading non-quality checked ideas/concepts/results may have some consequences. If the manuscript is rejected, then only the authors are really aware. But the diffusion of the ideas/concepts/results that are rejected is done. This can lead to serious issues.

· There is a risk of plagiarism-related problems. As illustrated by a case raised in a question here on RG, ideas/concepts/results are shared with a community. The manuscript can be rejected or necessitate significant revisions, and then during this period, others may have time to re-bake the ideas/concepts/results of the initial preprint and publish them faster somewhere else. A game of “table tennis prosecution for plagiarism” may then start.

Meetings, conferences are the places to introduce some advances, some “half-baked” ideas (as would have said R. Bathurst), and they should continue to play this role. I think we should let the peer-review process to do its job, but I may be wrong.

Ideas, comments, all welcome!

Although this use is mentioned in the bibliography, I am not aware of its effective use in the industry as an effective substitute for limestone. In addition to the constraints relating to the MgO content in the marble, are there constraints relating to the SiO2 content?

I am working on an e-beam process that defines metal gates with extremely high sensitivity to the repeatability/resolution of the defined geometry. I am looking to improve our recipe since we currently use acetone at room temperature as our lift-off solvent. 

We currently use a PMMA bilayer for the resist stack. The first layer is PMMA 450k-A2 with a bake time/temp of 90 secs/180 C, and the second layer is PMMA 950k-A2 with the same bake time/temp. 

As I said, our current lift-off recipe is soak in acetone for 1 hour at room temperature. I often see black residue after lift-off under the SEM (coined "the black veil of death" in literature), and also have seen what looks like metal particulates in places they should not be. I am aware of many other solvents that can be used instead of acetone to potentially improve our yield. 

From talks with others, 3 different solvents have been recommended to me (I'm sure there are plenty of others), and I'm trying to decide which one to use for the best resolution/repeatability. 

1. Microposit PG-Remover (NMP-based)

2. Microposit 1165 (NMP-based)

3. Technistrip D350 (DMSO-based)

Is anybody familiar with the pros/cons of these different solvents for lift-off? Any other recommendations? Anything to watch out for (etching of metals/oxides that could occur over time)? I've read literature on DMSO vs. NMP, but practically are there big differences for lift-off?

Thanks for the help in advance.

I have seen many veterans who have been exposed to severe shock waves from artillery fire. Their MRI of the brain are showing some "non-specific" changes, but there history is very typical of prolonged post-concussive syndrome and even CTE. There are tens of thousands of veterans with this condition. They are not being properly diagnosed and treated. As far as I am aware of, besides an MRI study done at Walter Reed Hospital there are no other studies using more sensitive tests, such as SPECT or PET. 

HI,

I am looking for supplier who can provide High power DFB laser. 1540nm and 1570nm +/-3 nm

If low wavelength is 1539nm then upper one should be 1569 (spread is 30nm).

The output power should be min 50 mw and linewidth 1mhz and less. other company like labresource have low output power.

Only company I am aware and I can find is Gooch&housego : https://gandh.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/GH_DS_FO_HighPowerDFBLaser_AA1401_7009_Rev12.pdf

But their lead time is insance 17 weeks.

Any suggestion ?

Shall we have previous genetic variation in explant tissues used in in vitro approaches, how can we estimate an adequate ratio for somaclonal variation among regeneration events?

In tissue culture we use several plant tissues and “reprogram” the cell development to obtain somatic embryos, calluses, shoot meristems, whatever.

Considering that the raw material we start with would not have a chance to follow another developmental sketch (E. g. a spongy parenchyma cell) is expected to die as originally planned, a spongy parenchyma cell.

It is clear that some stress triggers, frequent cell divisions, growth regulators and other substances, may increase the mutation ratio differently. We may also consider that there is a tiny probability of this mutation events occur by chance.

My reasoning is, how can we correctly attribute a somaclonal variation ratio being aware of the possibility of mutations that would not jeopardize a cell developmental path already settled in an explant (a chlorenchyma cell for instance) that, was not for the tissue culture detour, would “kick the bucket” as such (a chlorenchyma cell)?

Dear all,

just to make you aware regarding the scam going on in the name of 'Awards: too good to be true".

I am searching the 3GPP standards for information on CDR and how they are constructed. I am aware that they are encoded as ASN.1 and have found many examples of how SMS and Mobile Originated calls are encoded. All the parameters are shown with the options for the values.

What I am specifically looking for is the encoding for data usage, and the list of Mandatory and Optional fields. For example, a user launches a data application (eg - view a webpage, watch a video, etc), and then closes the application after 5 minutes, I expect that there is a defined set of values that are recorded such as Timestamp, Data Transmitted, Data Received, Duration, QoS, Originating IP etc.

Where would I find this in the 3GPP or ETSI standards? Thank you

In many universities, notably in North America but most likely around the world, there are five-year reviews of professors throughout the careers. The reviews can take the form of assembling pretty well everything they have done in the previous five-year period, including providing vast documentary evidence of satisfactory (or even outstanding) performance in teaching, research and scholarship, and service (and, if applicable, in administration). This is generally an extremely time-consuming, intense and potentially stressful experience, and, equally, it is not always clear what the value of this exercise is. In addition to the potential for (conscious and unconscious) bias throughout the process as well as a number of forms and sometimes quantitative configurations, there is also the normative consideration of ensuring that full weight of given to the contributions that are presented for review. Although the broader public may not be aware of the working conditions within academia, it is important to note that, generally speaking, there are a number of regular evaluation-points that professors routinely must face, including: annual reviews, tenure and promotion reviews, grant proposals, conference presentations, articles and other publications, sabbaticals, teaching evaluations by students, some positions and committees, research chairs, etc.. My question seeks to understand—if there is already robust, intense, high-stakes, regular and relatively comprehensive evaluation of academic performance—is there (significant) added value to these five-year reviews? I am aware of some universities that have eliminated them, and others that have re-negotiated the requirements, but they do remain for the most part intact. Do they support and cultivate more enhanced engagement and performance? How? Would the time and resources required for this process be better spent in cultivating more enhanced engagement and performance?

Ants are important mediator for a number of plant species that (either rely on or not) their services as seed disperser. During a field trip, we have noticed a special phenomenon in which some ants picked up plant seeds only when they were positioned in the middle of the trail followed by the animals travelling on the forest floor; and seeds put outside the trial were generally ignored. This seed dispersal mode appears in contrast with active foraging by the workers. Are you aware of similar phenomena, what is the possible implication to plant regeneration and the different role of ants play please?

Dear community of researchers,

I am currently working on a small research project that will explore community- and patient-led strategies for increasing referral of diabetes and hypertension and raising awareness of these two diseases in Mozambique, a highly resource-constrained country.

I would like to ask:

- does anyone have knowledge on patient-led referral strategies and advocacy activities? If so, could you please share any relevant links and/or are you aware of any recommendations on this from international health organisations?

- do you believe that involving patients in such activities would be ethically appropriate? Why/ why not?

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Hi,

I am working on a model predictive control of inverter using a Microlabbox or DSpace 1102. Recently, I found that working with Microlabbox beyond 2e-5 us is a tough task. I came to know that, for dSPACE1104, there are slave PWM blocks to working with low sampling rates. But unfortunately, there are no such options in Microlabbox. I am aware of the s-functions based model but looking for an alternative to that. I request you to guide me in working with more complex models such as sample-based controllers at low sampling rates. please share some useful information in this regard.

Thanks in advance.

I'm aware that Biobase is part of the Bioconductor project and that various other packages use it. But what are the functions of this package, and what kind of data do we use it for?

EDIT: In case anyone else has this issue I have developed an R script to do this.

I need to transform approximately 1,800 rasters to roughly gaussian distributions using R. My plan was to use a Box-Cox transformation, as I can then iterate through all the rasters and more-or-less leave the script to its own devices (since Box-Cox finds the optimal transformation). However, I have not been able to find any packages that can run a Box-Cox on raster data.

Other than making a function myself, is anyone aware if there are any existing packages or scripts that can do this process? I am aware there are possibilities for this in GIS platforms, but would like to keep it in R if possible since the rest of my workflow is through R.

Many thanks in advanced

Can you autoclave 100% glycerol straight up to sterilize it? Will it result in caramelization or will it be fine? I am aware I can dissolve it in water and autoclave it but it would make things easier for me if I could have 100% sterilized glycerol.

Hello fellow researchers,

I recently started learning how to use SolTrace and have been struggling with exporting the heat flux data from SolTrace. I am aware that we are able to see the flux density under the "flux maps" tab. However, under the "Data" tab I only see columns of data for pos x,y,z and cos x,y,z, element, stage, and ray (a total of 9 columns) and no Flux density data.

I believe I am missing something here, maybe there is some calculations I need to do for these data to find the heat flux but I am not sure how to move from there. I would appreciate it if I can get some guidance on how to export or calculate the heat flux values from SolTrace.

Thank you for your attention!

My question is: "What are the major and most effective refutations of Albert Einstein's Theories of Relativity?"

The question "Is Any Effective Refutation of Einstein’s Theories of Relativity Possible?" which was asked on April 2, 2018, has been declared closed. Many of the best Answers were probably posted at the beginning, in April of 2018, long before I joined Research Gate on the recommendation of some of my university colleagues. Out of respect for the initiator of the original Question, who states his decision to close his Question, I am posting a very similar question in the interest of accommodating the views of scientists who have not yet had an opportunity to answer the Question, and, possibly, the repeated and updated views of scientists who have already posted on the original Question at Research Gate from April 2, 2018, to December 2019.

Dear all,

Can anyone advise me on publications relating to archaeological section conservation?

Publications and usual practices on field advice to backfill, but I am wondering if there are techniques to stabilize the sediment and if it is possible to come back to the initial state.

Hi Folks,

Have you investigated publications associated with COVID-19 host risk factors and immunopathogenesis related research?

We are all aware that SARS-CoV-2 infection and disease risk factors are complex, resulting in widely varying outcomes, ranging from asymptomatic to severe illness, and death. To be able to evaluate one's own risk related to COVID-19, multiple contributing factors must be considered, including the well known and frequently discussed risk factors of old age, obesity, diabetes, social circumstances, environmental circumstances, and other commonly described co-morbidities along with SARS-CoV-2 variant behaviors. However, the well known and openly discussed risk factors are insufficient to explain the widely varying outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 exposure. Therefore, in the commonly used public domain information sources, some information is missing concerning additional, lesser discussed, but potentially critically important risk factors. It is clear to me that there is no single factor that can determine any particular individual's risk, therefore more information is needed to aid in risk assessment. In no way is this information outcome deterministic, and only represents additional statistical factors to consider when assessing one's own risk to exposure to SARS-CoV-2.

Well, I recently started looking into some of this research, and I would like to share some research that I think could be very important, and ultimately shed some more light on COVID-19, human host immunopathogenesis, and risk. Some of these papers summarize and evaluate research, performed by others, on various host factors that may be additional indicators of SARS-CoV-2 infection and associated disease severity risk. I have included links to articles, preprints, and studies so that we all can be aware of established and up and coming research. All of these articles are open and freely available to the public. I have also included a link to the Wikipedia website on global blood type distribution as a general reference. Do you know your blood type?

I am providing this information to you in the role of a Pure Scientist as described by Rojer A Pielke Jr. in his book titled "The Honest Broker: Making Sense of Science in Policy and Politics." I let you interpret the information and decide on its importance and relevance.

Please feel free to comment on this research.

Hi, thank you for reading my question.

In some references, I have seen a phrase like "basic pKa" or "pKa for a base".

Example reference:

pKa is defined for acids. I was wondering what "basic pKa" means?

I am aware of the relationship between pKa & pKb:

pKa * pKb = pKw

Is "basic pKa" the same as pKb?

Dear colleagues, my team and I are currently working on developing isotopic dating methods in our lab focused on dating faults and set time constraints on the post-rift tectonic events of the Brazilian passive margin. We are already working with fault-filling calcite U-Pb data, but we also have several samples of epidote veins that we would like to investigate with LA-ICP-MS. I am aware of Peverelli et al. (2020) very interesting work about U-Pb dating of fault-related epidote using allanite as both primary and secondary standards, but we are open to other suggestions of matrix-matched reference materials if you have any. We are also looking for the Tara allanite standard for that matter, so if anyone knows a quicker way to acquire it would be of great help.

Thank you for your attention and best wishes to you all!
