🟦PURPOSE OF THE OPEN QUESTION🟦
Consulting out of simple scientific curiosity, the immense mass of alternative (and not self-excluding) explanations on the real origin of the contemporary myth of Nessie or the Lochness Monster, the following explanations are certainly worthy of interest...
--geological origin of the phenomenon (Earth System Processes - Global Meeting, June 24-28, 2001. SEISMOTECTONIC ORIGINS OF THE MONSTER OF LOCH NESS. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/1_fig650_346931099 );
In this open question, a further zoological explanation is added, which would be interesting to bring to the attention of the scientific community and/or enthusiasts, in order to complete and expand the cryptozoological puzzle of Nessie.
🟦DATA🟦
This open question arises from the fact that one of the main morphological characteristics of some descriptions of Nessie's silhouette concerns the structure of the head https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/13/Loch_Ness_monster_views.svg/800px-Loch_Ness_monster_views.svg.png decidedly rounded and not comparable to that of a plesiosaur, an eel, a catfish, a Greenland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_shark Shark.
Therefore the first morphological characteristic sought was that of a head that was not elongated and flat but rounded and globoidal.
The second characteristic is that the dimensions must be at least those of an adult human and certainly not those of an eel or a catfish, however corpulent they may be.
The other characteristics that were searched for in association with the previous ones are:
--body length of at least 2m;
--very tapered body shape;
--grey / dark gray body color;
--dorsal fin absent;
--teeth present and clearly visible-recognizable;
--presence in Lochness Lake https://maps.app.goo.gl/jBMknT45dQn8woWr5 and/or the adjacent River Ness https://maps.app.goo.gl/mjNnhfA6bdutqYwV8 which connects the lake to the Moray Firth https://maps.app.goo.gl/XwuuGeLT6BSgYDKM8 (including the sea in front https://maps.app.goo.gl/FmnfheeNDzzbgubT6) with detailed historical or recent references.
🟦Delphinapterus leucas as Nessie??🟦
The relatively recent sighting of a beluga dolphin Delphinapterus leucas (Pallas, 1776) in the River Thames (2018) pushed me to carry out a series of preliminary bibliographic searches in order to evaluate whether or not the characteristics of the beluga itself match those of Nessie. Beluga has..
..absence of dorsal fin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beluga_whale#Fins not even outlined;
..tapered body and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beluga_whale#Size over 2 meters long;
🟦PROBLEMS🟦
The problems to overcome in order to associate some Nessie sightings with the beluga dolphin, would be:
--body color;
--geographical location.
The coloration in young specimens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beluga_whale#Colour is grey-brown; therefore it is very plausible that rare and large animals could be over 2 meters long and of an unusual color (grey-brown-dark); furthermore, medium-large specimens with undoubtedly dark https://www.researchgate.net/figure/fig97_346931099 coloring are regularly captured. So this element would also theoretically be overcome.
The beluga dolphin spends part of the year near fjords https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beluga_whale#Habitat and river estuaries. So also this element would theoretically be overcome.
Several specimens have been spotted in the marine area connected to the Moray fjord
which makes the main obstacle, that of possible presence near Lochness lake, easily overcome.
Recent sightings of beluga dolphins have also been made in the rivers:
Amur, Hillsborough, Kuskokwim, Nelson, Saguenay, Seine, Thames..
confirming the previous point.
There have even been documented lake sightings, such as:
--Lake Aleknagik
--Lake Champlain
--Baker Lake
🟦CONCLUSIONS🟦
The elements characterizing the beluga associate quite well with some of the overall characteristics of Nessie and in some cases even better than the zoological explanations so far attributed to the Lochness Monster.
The beluga also reveals itself as an authentic unexpected guest of deep fjords, estuaries, rivers and lakes in numerous locations in the seas of the northern hemisphere, in some cases generating local mini-legends similar to Lochness but not as famous as it.
In the current state of the accumulated data, the ""Nessie as Beluga Whale hypothesis"" appears not only well-founded but also one of the most plausible: serpentine body; absence of dorsal fin; globoidal head, mobile and with evident teeth; grey-brown body, at least during part of life and also for medium-large specimens; overall length 300-600cm; sightings coinciding with the Moray Firth area; not rare sightings in lake environments hundreds of km from the open sea.
To these listed data, others are added which can actually further mislead the identification of a dolphin in a lake:
--the beluga does not have the behavior of jumping out of the water;
--the beluga swims slowly and during emergence from the water surface it rarely exposes its tail, which therefore remains under water unlike its back, which instead forms at least a well-pronounced and visible hump;
--mature and large belugas have lateral expansions of the body which give them a much larger and broader shape when viewed from above https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237064254 a characteristic which could further increase the confusion with the real type of animal (Nessie-like??). Further data will be necessary, even if the evidence produced so far appears robust.

Il Mostro di Lochness potrebbe essere la risultante anche di avvistamenti lacustro-fluviali di beluga (Delphinapterus leucas)??
🟩SCOPO DELLA OPEN QUESTION🟩
Consultando per semplice curiosità scientifica, l'immensa mole di spiegazioni alternative (e non auto-escludenti) sull'origine reale del mito contemporaneo di Nessie o Mostro di Lochness, certamente degne di interesse sono le spiegazioni seguenti ..
--origine geologica del fenomeno (Earth System Processes - Global Meeting, June 24-28, 2001. SEISMOTECTONIC ORIGINS OF THE MONSTER OF LOCH NESS. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/1_fig650_346931099 );
--interessantissima tesi di Wade https://jeremywade.co.uk/about dello squalo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loch_Ness_Monster#Greenland_shark della Groenlandia.
In questa open question si aggiunge una ulteriore spiegazione di tipo zoologico, che sarebbe interessante porre all'attenzione della comunità scientifica e/o di appassionati, al fine di completare ed ampliare il puzzle criptozoologico di Nessie.
🟩DATI🟩
La presente open question nasce dal fatto che una delle principali caratteristiche morfologiche di alcune descrizioni della silhouette di Nessie riguarda la struttura del capo https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/13/Loch_Ness_monster_views.svg/800px-Loch_Ness_monster_views.svg.png decisamente arrotondata e non assimilabile a quella di un plesiosauro, una anguilla, un pesce gatto, uno Squalo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_shark della Groenlandia.
Pertanto la prima caratteristica morfologica ricercata è stata quella di un capo non allungato e piatto ma arrotondato e globoidale.
La seconda caratteristica è che le dimensioni devono essere almeno quelle di un umano adulto e non certamente quelle di una anguilla o di un pesce gatto, per quanto corpulenti.
Le altre caratteristiche che sono state ricercate in associazione alle precedenti, sono:
--lunghezza del corpo di almeno 2m;
--forma del corpo molto affusolata;
--colorazione corporea grigio / grigio scura;
--pinna dorsale assente;
--denti presenti e ben visibili-riconoscibili;
--presenza nel lago di Lochness https://maps.app.goo.gl/jBMknT45dQn8woWr5 e/o annesso fiume Ness https://maps.app.goo.gl/mjNnhfA6bdutqYwV8 che lo collega al Fiordo di Moray Firth https://maps.app.goo.gl/XwuuGeLT6BSgYDKM8 (mare antistante incluso https://maps.app.goo.gl/FmnfheeNDzzbgubT6 ) con circonstanziati riferimenti storici o recenti.
🟩Delphinapterus leucas as Nessie??🟩
Il relativamente recente avvistamento di un delfino beluga nel fiume Tamigi (2018) mi spinse ad eseguire una serie di ricerche bibliografiche preliminari al fine di valutare l'aderenza o meno delle caratteristiche del beluga Delphinapterus leucas (Pallas, 1776) stesso a quelle di Nessie. Il beluga difatti possiede ..
..assenza di pinna dorsale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beluga_whale#Fins nemmeno accennata;
..corpo affusolato e https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beluga_whale#Size lungo ben otre 2 metri;
🟩PROBLEMI🟩
I problemi da superare per associare alcuni avvistamenti di Nessie al delfino beluga, sarebbero:
--colorazione;
--collocazione geografica.
La colorazione negli esemplari giovani https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beluga_whale#Colour è grigio-bruna; pertanto è ben plausibile che rari animali e di grandi dimensioni possano risultare di oltre 2 metri e di colore inusuale (grigio-bruno-marrone); inoltre vengono regolarmente catturati esemplari di medio-grandi dimensioni dalla colorazione indubbiamente https://www.researchgate.net/figure/fig97_346931099 scura. Quindi anche questo elemento sarebbe teoricamente superato/superabile.
Il delfino beluga trascorre una parte dell'anno in prossimità di fiordi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beluga_whale#Habitat ed estuari fluviali. Quindi anche questo elemento sarebbe teoricamente superato/superabile.
Diversi esemplari sono stati avvistati proprio nell'area marina connessa al fiordo di Moray..
il che rende agilmente superato proprio l'ostacolo principale, quello della possibile presenza
Recenti avvistamenti di delfino beluga poi sono stati effettuati nei fiumi:
Amur, Hillsborough, Kuskokwim, Nelson, Saguenay, Senna, Tamigi..
confermando il punto precedente.
Addirittura ci sono stati documentati avvistamenti lacustri, come:
--Lago Aleknagik
--Lago Champlain
--Lago Baker
🟩CONCLUSIONI🟩
Gli elementi caratterizzanti il beluga si associano abbastanza bene con alcune delle caratteristiche complessive di Nessie ed in alcuni casi anche meglio delle spiegazioni zoologiche finora attribuite al mostro di Lochness.
Il beluga inoltre si rivela come un autentico ospite inatteso di fiordi profondi, estuari, fiumi, laghi di numerose località dei mari dell'emisfero nord, generando in alcuni casi mini-leggende locali analoghe a Lochness ma non famose come essa.
Allo stato attuale dei dati accumulati, l'ipotesi Nessie as Beluga Whale appare non solo fondata ma anche una delle più plausibili: corpo serpentiforme; assenza di pinna dorsale; capo globoidale, mobile e con denti evidenti; corpo grigio-bruno, almeno durante una parte della vita ed anche per esemplari di medio-grandi dimensioni; lunghezza complessiva 300-600cm; avvistamenti coincidenti con la zona del fiordo Moray Firth; non rari avvistamenti in ambienti lacustri a centinaia di km dal mare aperto.
Ai dati elencati se ne aggiungono altri che effettivamente possono fuorviare ancor più l'identificazione di un delfino in un lago:
--il beluga non ha il comportamento di saltare fuori dall'acqua;
--il beluga nuota lentamente e durante le emersioni raramente espone la coda, che pertanto permane in acqua a differenza del dorso, che invece forma almeno una gobba ben pronunciata e visibile;
--beluga maturi e di grande taglia, presentano espansioni laterali del corpo che gli conferiscono una forma molto più larga e ampia in visione dall'alto https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237064254 caratteristica che potrebbe ulteriormente aumentare la confusione con la reale tipologia di animale (Nessie-like??). Ulteriori dati saranno necessari, anche se gli indizi finora prodotti appaiono robusti.

In one of our fiber photometry rigs, there is a pigtailed rotary joint connected to an FC-FC mating adapter (flange 11mm) that is then connected to our fiber optic patch cord. The problem is, the light transmission out of the pigtail is around 90 uW, and the adapter is pretty much the same, but then when we measure light transmission out of the fiber optic patch cord its around 20-30 uW. Is there any way to better optimize this region to get a higher light output?
Thanks!
Relevant answer
Answer
Are the numerical apertures of the pigtailed fiber and the patch-cord the same? If there is a significant mismatch this would lead to reduced coupling efficiency. Ideally you want the spatial modes of the patch-cord and the pigtailed fiber to be as close as possible.

I am trying to set up a Graphab project and to calculate a linkset. This works fine when using a small crop of the original research area with an external raster file containing resistance values, or when assigning some class-specific resistance values. However, when I use the full extent of the map in combination with an external raster file that contains the resistance values, I get the following error:
"java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Negative or null cost is forbidden. Check your cost."
There are no null or negative values in the resistance raster, so what shall I make of this message? Could it have been caused by some other issue not accurately reflected in the error message?

I have deep neural network where I want to include a layer which should have one input and two outputs. For example, I want to construct an intermediate layer where Layer-1 is connected to the input of this intermediate layer and one output of the intermediate layer is connected to Layer-2 and another output is connected to Layer-3. Moreover, the intermediate layer just passes the data as it is through it without doing any mathematical operation on the input data. I have seen additionLayer in MATLAB, but it has only 1 output and this function is read-only for the number of outputs.

Hello everyone,
I'm simulating a simplified bolt connection between two parts. I made the bolt without a thread, as it was done in most forum posts here. However, I do not have a bolt-nut connection, but I screw the bolt directly into a hole (the hole is also simplified without a thread).
What interactions do I have to make with the screw shaft and the hole? I tried it at the beginning with tie-constraints, but I got errors because there was an overlap with the bolts pre-tensioning. In addition, I tried contact, where I defined the tangential behavior as rough. Unfortunately, without success.
Any of you have an idea for this problem?
Thank you very much for your efforts!

I recently understood the relationship between quaternions and braids,but what is the connection between octets and braid groups?
Relevant answer
Answer
E8 and Lie Groups: E8 is an exceptional Lie group, denoted as E8, distinct from classical Lie groups (A, B, C, D). E8 is characterized by its associated Lie algebra, e8, which underpins its mathematical structure. It's defined by generators and commutation relations.
Example: The defining properties of the E8 Lie algebra are expressed through commutation relations: [H_i, H_j] = 0, where H_i and H_j are Cartan subalgebra elements, illustrating the non-commutative nature of the Lie algebra's structure.
Braid Groups: Braid groups, denoted as Bn, describe strand manipulation in braids. Generated by n strands, they adhere to specific relations governing strand movement, allowing for precise algebraic definitions.
Example: The braid group B3, dealing with three strands, is generated by σ1, σ2, and σ3, satisfying braid relations like: σ1σ2σ1 = σ2σ1σ2, capturing the non-commutative properties of braids.
Connection: The connection between E8 and braid groups emerges from the study of mathematical structures, particularly through the utilization of affine Kac-Moody algebras. The E8 affine Kac-Moody algebra, denoted as ^e8, extends e8 with additional affine relations, including central extension.
Example: The central extension in the affine Kac-Moody algebra introduces a central element, often represented as C. This element is linked with specific commutation relations involving other generators, yielding a more complex algebraic structure.
Vertex Operator Algebras: Vertex operator algebras (VOAs) are employed in conformal field theory and mathematical physics. The connection between E8 and VOAs becomes apparent through constructions like the Moonshine Module, establishing a profound relationship between E8 and the Monster group, a sporadic simple group.
Example: In the context of the Monster moonshine, modular functions and forms are associated with E8 and its representations. These functions can be expressed using q-expansions with coefficients revealing deep mathematical connections, often linking modular forms with group theory.
Physics and String Theory: E8 plays a role in theoretical physics, particularly in string theory. It can appear in certain string theory compactifications, where it crucially describes the symmetries and properties of the physical model. String theory explores the interactions and behaviors of fundamental strings, offering mathematical descriptions.
Example: In heterotic string theory, a common choice for describing symmetries in string compactifications is the E8 × E8 gauge group. The algebraic structure of E8 is indispensable for understanding the theory's symmetries and interactions.
Research and Ongoing Study: Continual research explores intricate connections between E8, braid groups, and other mathematical structures. These connections have profound implications in pure mathematics and theoretical physics, often requiring advanced techniques from areas such as representation theory and algebraic topology.
Example: Ongoing research in mathematical physics aims to uncover more detailed and nuanced connections between E8, braid groups, and other exceptional mathematical structures. This research delves into the sophisticated formalism and mathematical intricacies of these relationships.
The connection between E8 and braid groups encompasses formalism rooted in Lie algebras, braid relations, affine Kac-Moody algebras, vertex operator algebras, and their applications in the realm of physics.

Hello everyone!
I have started to work on my research project and I actively search for information on measuring electrification charges.
In the future I have to measure the charge of a tube with a fluid being pumped through it (a conductive tube connected to non conductive ones, the fluid is also non conductive, but will have some conductive additives).
I found a lot of theoretical works, but can't seems to find practical examples or equipment to use. The stuff I found are barebone depictions like: "There is a grounded tool installed along the pipe, that measures the charge", with no links to the source.
So I need some help to find methods and tools I can use to mesure the electrification charges.
Relevant answer
Answer
I don't have direct access to the internet to search for current articles or equipment, but I can provide you with some guidance on how to find articles and equipment related to detecting and measuring electrification charge.

I need help modelling horizontal BNWF with axial, transverse, and vertical (bearing & uplift) springs and spring damper at the ends to simulate connectivity.
I want to know how I can model these on to the beam and assuming the pipeline segment is 1 kilometer in length, at what intervals should the soil springs be applied? Can we assign line springs in OpenSees?
Thank you

Relevant answer
Answer
Hi
Here is one approach to model a horizontal beam on nonlinear Winkler foundation (BNWF) with axial, transverse, and vertical springs in OpenSees:
1. Discretize the 1 km long beam into elements (say 100 10m long elements).
2. Use an ElasticBeamColumn element for each beam segment.
3. Attach zeroLength elements to each node:
- zeroLength in local x-direction for axial soil springs
- zeroLength in local y-direction for transverse soil springs
- zeroLength in local z-direction for vertical springs
4. Use a Parallel material to combine the elastic behavior with a Bilin/Quad nonlinearity for each spring.
5. Apply spring properties like stiffness, yield strength, post-yield stiffness.
6. For damping, attach zeroLength elements with a ViscousDamper material at the ends.
7. Apply restraints and prescribed displacement to beam ends to simulate boundary conditions.
8. For load, apply point loads, prescribed displacements, or ground motion acceleration to the model.
The spacing of the soil springs depends on the desired discretization accuracy. A spacing of 5-10m would likely be reasonable for this length of beam.
This assembles a beam on springs system with nonlinear material models and damping to capture soil-pipeline interaction effects under dynamic loading. The zeroLength elements conveniently allow applying 1D spring-damper behavior between nodes.

Paradigm
Scientific results, at least those generated by individuals holding positions at universities or at publicly financed research institutes, should be openly accessible to all people worldwide.
Reality
In order to be able to access a publication, often a fee will be charged by the publisher. For open access publication the authors have to pay quite a lot of money, and many researchers are simply not able to achieve this. Certainly the main community of researchers is not at all happy with this situation.
During the last decades, publishing -- fortunately ! -- changed from costly print versions to much cheaper electronic versions. Meanwhile it is quite easy to set up an electronic journal and ... to make money with such a business ! Not rarely a publisher tends to not taking peer review seriously, since rejecting a submission means less income. Quite a number of journals and publishers have meanwhile even been classified as "predatory" and an author should better check carefully, to which journal she/he should submit her/his work.
Let me briefly report a case, in which I have been -- and I am still -- involved. The original publisher of the Journal of Generalized Lie Theory and Applications (GLTA) was Astralgo Science in Estonia. In those days I was asked to join the Editorial Board. Later this journal moved to Ashdin Publishing, then OMICS and finally Hilaris, alleged "predatory" publishers according to quite a number of sources in the internet. Apart from a strange description under "About the Journal", on the GLTA website
we read
"Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process)
Authors who are willing to publish their articles under this mode can make a pre-payment of $99 towards express peer-review and editorial decision. First editorial decision in 3 days and final decision with review comments in 5 days from the date of submission."
It should be obvious to any serious scientist, that this is not compatible with any reasonable peer review process. I asked the publisher to remove my name from the Editorial Board and at least one of the Editors-in-chief followed me. No response at all and no action. Lately GLTA even published total nonsense articles under the name of respectable scientists who had nothing to do with it !
Long ago I had rejected several submissions to GLTA that landed on my desk. But since many years I have not received anything anymore from the editorial office. The editors-in-chief should know, which of the published papers actually went through a peer review process.
Authors in general have to transfer copyright to the publisher and lose their own right in this way.
Why we should not pay publication fees and also not fees for open access publishing
As the above example in my opinion clearly shows, this could drive the publisher to decrease the level of scientific quality.
It is also not understandable that an author has to pay for keeping the right to her/his own work.
What shall we do ?
A major revolution in scientific publishing has been the creation of the arXiv by Paul Ginsparg in 1991. Of course, we also have to thank Donald Knuth for his ingenious TeX and Leslie Lamport for the somewhat more user-friendly LaTeX.
We should only take submission to a journal into consideration, if the publisher allows us to store a corresponding preprint version in the arXiv. There are even journals (like Communications in Mathematical Physics) which require that authors send their work to the arXiv prior to submission.
Posting in the arXiv also allows other scientists to send private comments to the authors, which offers a chance to improve their work. I'm typically waiting at least a month from arXiving a paper to submission to a journal.
Some authors send their work from one publisher to the next until it gets published somewhere, without prior posting in the arXiv. This occupies editors and referees and should not be considered a decent scientific behavior in my opinion. Isn't it a bit sneaky ?
The availability of a preprint version (which can even be updated) in the arXiv makes payment for open access publishing redundant, in my opinion.
How to maintain scientific quality ?
Sure, the arXiv is a great thing, but we do need services to maintain and increase scientific quality.
There are "overlay journals" like SIGMA, strongly connected with the arXiv. Perhaps this is a substantial part of the future of publishing.
In my opinion, a good quality of scientific publishing can in fact only be achieved via a good editorial board, which has full rights to decide about publication or rejection. There are certainly also questions concerning the way of constituting an editorial board, election of members, choice and quality of referees, etc. But this is a more restricted problem.
If we are asked to join the editorial board of some journal, we should think twice and check the journal carefully. If it makes a good impression, this does not mean that this will be so forever. In particular not if there is a publishing business behind it.
But the publishers need financial support to maintain servers, infrastructure, editorial services
First, we should not forget that also the arXiv needs funding ! It seems that the system works well presently, but perhaps the scientific community should support it even more.
In my opinion, scientific publishing, as a business and at least in the realm of journals, has no future. More public funding will be necessary to establish and maintain an independent academic publishing structure.
Clearly a lot has already been written about scientific publishing and the problems connected with it. I did not read it all, sorry ! But I do hope that I did not miss some of the most important aspects.
Take care !

Physics is a game of looking at physical phenomena, analyzing how physical phenomena changes with a hypothetical and yet mathematical arrow of time in 3D space, namely by plotting that physical phenomena with a mathematical grid model (typically cartesian based) assuming that physical phenomena can be plotted with points, and then arriving at a theory describing that physical phenomenon and phenomena under examination. The success of those physical models (mathematical descriptions of physical phenomena) is predicting new phenomena by taking that mathematics and predicting how the math of one phenomenon can link with the math of another phenomenon without any prior research experience with that connection yet based on the presumption of the initial mathematical model of physical phenomena being undertaken.
Everyone in physics, professional and amateur, appears to be doing this.
Does anyone see a problem with that process, and if so what problems do you see?

What is the connection between productivity and digital tools and role of digitalization in improving efficiency of supply chains?
Relevant answer
Answer
So, yes, digital tools make us more productive at work. And they do this by simplifying some of the mundane tasks we're used to. But all this depends on how you use it as technology can be both positive and negative. Technology can automate the workflow of almost any function in a business, such as finance, marketing, operations, and workplace management. Technology can turn inefficient, tedious tasks into a seamless and automated process. This frees up time for your team and allows them to be more productive. Digital transformation generates faster, simpler and more efficient processes and workflows. Creating automated digital workflows, designed to manage information, gives employees time to focus on business value-added activities and develop assigned projects and tasks faster. Technological progress allows for the more efficient production of more and better goods and services, which is what prosperity depends on. However, the mechanisms through which technology is developed, adopted and used in production are complex. Improved productivity and efficiency due to technological change, have a positive effect on the cost of production. More productivity means more output per input and more efficiency means that the output is achieved with less cost of production. A change in technology alters the combination of inputs required in the production process. An improvement in technology usually means that fewer and/or less costly inputs are needed. If the cost of production is lower, the profits available at a given price will increase, and producers will produce more. Digitization improves supply chain forecasting and allows for better inventory planning. Businesses can access vast amounts of data and analyze them in near real-time to accurately forecast future demand or changes in the supply chain. Digital transformation has the potential to significantly improve the performance of supply chain systems by increasing efficiency, reducing costs and improving customer satisfaction. Digitalization improves productivity by enabling faster and more reliable internal processes. It facilitates a more efficient relationship between suppliers and customers, as well as between employees and processes. Digitizing your supply chain creates opportunities for connecting disparate systems, enabling communication across the entire organization, and creating a single source of truth for information.

In recent years, the use of psychedelics in mental health treatment has garnered significant attention, with promising research indicating their potential to aid individuals with various mental health conditions, including depression, alcohol-use disorder, anxiety, and PTSD. These substances, often referred to as entheogens, have the ability to induce altered states of consciousness, leading to profound and transformative experiences. This resurgence in the mental health field has prompted questions about how traditional models of psychiatry, psychology, and psychotherapy have addressed the concepts of imagination and spirituality, particularly concerning the potential development of spirituality through experiences that explore the realm of the imaginary.
It is noteworthy that delving into the imaginary and spiritual dimensions of human experience may offer individuals fresh insights into self-understanding, emotions, and connections with others. This has resulted in a shift away from rigid reductionist approaches towards a more comprehensive understanding of mental health and overall well-being.
Though psychedelic-assisted therapy is still in its early stages, ongoing research suggests that these substances, when used responsibly and in controlled settings, hold unique opportunities for personal growth, self-discovery, and healing. Integrating these experiences with modern therapeutic techniques could pave the way for more effective mental health treatments.
As mentioned in the text, the use of current technologies to measure the effects of these experiences represents a promising avenue for further exploration and validation. Research in this area has the potential to establish a stronger scientific foundation for the use of psychedelics in mental health treatment, ultimately benefiting those who can gain from these therapeutic approaches.
Overall, the renewed interest in exploring the connections between imagination, spirituality, and mental health, coupled with the potential advantages of psychedelic-assisted therapies, presents an exciting and continually evolving field of research and application in the realm of mental health care.

Please tell me, is there a difference between testing a four-port device directly with a four-port VNA and testing a four-port device with a two-port VNA with the other two unexcited ports connected to matched loads?
When I tested the differential line, I used a two-port VNA because I didn't have a four-port VNA, but the reflection coefficient of the test result was much worse than the simulation result, going from below -15dB in the simulation to only staying below -10dB. In my simulation, however, I added the SMAs at exactly the same dimensions as in reality, and the simulation showed that the reflection coefficient would not be as bad as the test results.
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, there is a difference in accuracy between testing a four-port device with a four-port VNA and with a two-port VNA.
A four-port VNA can measure all four S-parameters of a four-port device directly, without any need for approximation or extrapolation. This provides the most accurate measurement of the device's performance.
A two-port VNA can only measure two S-parameters at a time. To measure all four S-parameters, the device must be connected to matched loads on the unused ports. This can introduce errors into the measurement, as the matched loads may not be perfect and the reflections from the unused ports may not be negligible.
In addition, the two-port renormalization technique, which can be used to calculate the missing S-parameters from the measured S-parameters, is not always accurate. The accuracy of the two-port renormalization technique depends on the accuracy of the measured S-parameters and the reflection coefficients of the matched loads.
As a result, the accuracy of testing a four-port device with a four-port VNA is generally better than the accuracy of testing a four-port device with a two-port VNA.
Here is a table summarizing the accuracy of the two methods:
If you need to measure the S-parameters of a four-port device with the highest possible accuracy, then you should use a four-port VNA. If you do not have a four-port VNA, then you can use a two-port VNA with matched loads, but be aware that the accuracy of the measurement will be less than ideal.

Is the pyramid of biomass always upright in an aquatic ecosystem and how is a pyramid of biomass connected to an ecosystem?
Relevant answer
Answer
The biomass pyramid of aquatic ecosystem is inverted. Here the biomass of primary producers is much less than the zooplanktons, which is less than the small fish and the big fish having the maximum biomass. The pyramid of biomass in the sea is inverted because the amount of biomass is least at the base of the pyramid and the amount of biomass is maximum at the apex of the pyramid. The pyramid of biomass in sea is generally inverted because the biomass of fishes far exceeds than that of phytoplanktons. Most pyramids are larger at the bottom, but marine biomass pyramids are often inverted. This is because the producers are very small and have limited mass. They also reproduce and die quickly, so there is less biomass at any given time compared to consumers. The energy pyramid is always upright because energy is constantly lost as heat when it travels from one trophic level to the next. This heat escapes into the atmosphere and is never returned to the sun.Aquatic biomass is a reversal of terrestrial biomass, can increase at higher trophic levels. In the ocean, biomass pyramid is an inverted. In particular, the biomass of consumers is larger than the biomass of primary producers. A biomass pyramid is the representation of total living biomass or organic matter present at different trophic levels in an ecosystem. Biomass is calculated as the mass of living organisms present at each trophic level in a given sample size. Pyramid of biomass shows the amount of biomass at each trophic level in an ecosystem while pyramid of energy shows the flow of energy from one trophic level to the next in an ecosystem. This is the key difference between pyramid of biomass and pyramid of energy. Energy pyramids are used to show how much energy is available in each of the different trophic levels. Because the amount of energy is proportional to the amount of matter in an ecosystem, these pyramids can also show how much matter or biomass is available in each trophic level. A pyramid of biomass is a graphical portrayal of biomass present in a unit of the territory of different trophic levels. In addition, it displays the linking among biomass and trophic level estimating the biomass available in each trophic degree of an energy network at a given time.

Hi everyone
We have a few potentiostats in our lab, with different working voltage (or control voltage), and compliance voltage specifications. e.g. SRS EC301 lists +/- 15 V working voltage and +/- 32 V compliance voltage. We are able to take our working electrode till 15 V and the voltage between working/counter till 32 V. Likewise for Parstat or Versastat.
In the case of biologic VSP 300, with 1A/48V booster, we are able to take the working electrode till 48 V (just as a test), but the reference to counter voltage maxes out at 10 V, and flags overload at higher voltages. What we learnt from the company is that this is a part of the design. So, technically the potential between working and counter can go till 48 V, but the potential between reference and counter terminal cannot exceed 10V, even if the potential between ref and working is (e.g.) 2 V.
So, when we use a cell for CO2RR studies in a H-Cell, with a ion permeable membrane between the chambers, with a working voltage of -2.X V, we hit the overload. To perform chronoamperometric studies, we have found a hack. Since our working voltage is < 10 V, we can connect the actual working electrode to counter terminal, keep the reference electrode near this, and connect the Pt foil counter electrode to the working electrode terminal, and apply the current (with opposite polarity). We can monitor the voltage between reference and counter terminals using a data logger.
However, this trick cannot be used for experiments with potential controls. Have any of you encountered this issue? If you found a way to solve this, can you please share the details?

Can anyone please tell me in detailed explanation what is the difference between the joint and the connection in steel joint?
given that :
joint rotation = total rotation of the beam-end - beam elastic deformation - column elastic deforamtion - block rotation
connection rotation = joint roation - column web in plane rotation + column elastic deformation + block rotation
Those equations are taken from the litterature
Relevant answer
Answer
In the context of steel structures, a joint refers to the point where two or more structural members are connected together, while a connection refers to the actual mechanism or means by which those members are joined.
The joint rotation is a term used to describe the rotational movement or displacement that occurs at the joint between two connected members, such as a beam and a column. It represents the relative rotation between the connected members caused by external loads or deformations. The joint rotation is influenced by various factors, including the stiffness of the members, the type of connection, and the applied loads.
The total rotation of the beam-end refers to the rotation experienced by the beam at its end due to external loads. This rotation is directly related to the applied moments and forces on the beam and can be calculated using structural analysis methods.
The beam elastic deformation refers to the rotational displacement of the beam caused by its own flexibility or elasticity. When a beam is subjected to external loads, it undergoes elastic deformations based on its material properties and cross-sectional characteristics.
The column elastic deformation refers to the rotational displacement of the column caused by its own flexibility or elasticity. Similar to the beam, a column can also experience elastic deformations when subjected to external loads.
The block rotation refers to the rotational displacement of the block or base on which the column rests. It occurs when the column base is not completely fixed and allows for some rotation. The block rotation can be influenced by factors such as the base connection type, soil conditions, and column loading.
The connection rotation is the overall rotational displacement or movement of the joint as a result of the connection and its interaction with the connected members. It is calculated by subtracting the column web in-plane rotation, adding the column elastic deformation, and adding the block rotation from the joint rotation.
The column web in-plane rotation refers to the rotational displacement of the column web (the vertical plate connecting the column flanges) caused by the applied loads and the interaction with the connection. This rotation can occur when the connection transmits forces and moments that induce twisting or rotation of the column web.
To summarize, the difference between joint rotation and connection rotation is that the joint rotation represents the relative rotation between the connected members caused by external loads, while the connection rotation takes into account additional factors such as column web in-plane rotation, column elastic deformation, and block rotation. The connection rotation provides a more comprehensive understanding of the overall rotational behavior of the joint and its connection.

Hello,
I am trying to design a table (rectangle or circle, doesn't really matter) that will hole an object on the center of it. The table will be connected to a shaft which will be driven by a belt that connected to an engine.
My goal is to rotate the table in a constant angular speed, let's say - w.
The calculation that I did is basically:
F = mw2r
T = r*F = mw2r2
m is the total mass (object + table), r is the radius of the table, w is the angular speed that I want, T is the torque needed.
Now, when I get the needed torque I can choose the engine that can provide enough torque.
Of course I will choose bearings that can hold the weight and let's say the gear will be 1:1.
Is this calculation is right? I added a picture of what I am trying to do, B is bearing, so from the bearing to the top is dynamic and below is static.

We know that the brain stores data in neurons or networks of neurons. The data exchange center is called a synapse through which the data passes and is coordinated. The neurons are connected to millions of sensors. The question is can we run analytics on them or can we visualize our dreams?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dreams are thought to be generated by various processes in the brain during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) phase of sleep, but the specific mechanisms by which they occur are not well understood.
Although we cannot yet "visualise" or "record" dreams in the conventional sense, researchers have made some progress in interpreting brain activity during sleep. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the University of Kyoto in Japan in 2013 used fMRI scans and artificial intelligence to make rudimentary predictions about the content of dreams.
The researchers first built a database of images by scanning the brains of participants as they looked at various pictures. Later, when the participants were asleep, the researchers scanned their brains again and used the previously collected data to predict what images the participants might see in their dreams. While the predictions were far from perfectly accurate, they were better than chance, suggesting that this approach has some potential.
Regarding the analysis of neurons and synapses, while it's true that these structures are fundamental to the operation of the brain, we currently lack the technology to observe and analyse their activity at the necessary scale and level of detail in a living, dreaming brain. The human brain contains approximately 86 billion neurons and an estimated 100 trillion synapses, making it an incredibly complex system.
While research into these areas is ongoing, it's important to note that this field is very challenging, and progress may be slow. As technology and our understanding of the brain advance, we can expect to see further developments in the future.
Currently, the primary methods of studying dreams still involve waking people during or immediately after REM sleep and asking them to describe their dreams, or having people keep dream journals where they record their dreams upon waking. These methods rely on self-reporting and memory, which have limitations but can still provide valuable information.

I did SEM in AMOS and it suggest to connect an error variable and observed variable to enhance the model fit. I was wondering if these variables can be connected as well as two error variables.
Relevant answer
Answer
Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a method that allows researchers to test complex hypotheses about the relationships among observed and latent variables (Kline, 2015). Observed variables are those that can be measured directly, such as test scores or survey responses. Latent variables are those that cannot be measured directly, such as intelligence or academic achievement. SEM involves specifying a model that represents the causal structure of the variables and estimating the parameters of the model using data. One of the advantages of SEM is that it can provide information about the fit of the model to the data, as well as the modification indices that suggest how the model can be improved (Byrne, 2016).
One of the questions that may arise when using SEM is whether it is appropriate to connect an observed variable and an error variable if the output suggests it in modification indices. An error variable is a latent variable that represents the measurement error or unexplained variance of an observed variable. Connecting an observed variable and an error variable means adding a path between them in the model, which implies that there is a direct effect of one variable on another. This may not make sense theoretically or conceptually, as error variables are usually assumed to be independent of other variables in the model. Therefore, connecting an observed variable and an error variable may not be a good practice in SEM, unless there is a strong justification for doing so based on substantive knowledge or previous research (Brown, 2015).

I am wondering if there is any way to refresh the input data from a dynamic text file in COMSOL for each iteration.
I have attempted to do this in Python, but COMSOL only solves the equation for the first input text file and not for any new files generated. The reason for this is that I have coupled COMSOL with a DEM-based software which feeds the input to COMSOL for each iteration. (same situation for the output to save the results as a text file)
While the connection is established through Python codes, I am unsure if Python can trigger the refresh button for each iteration!!!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Relevant answer
Answer
To anyone encountering a similar question:
A more straightforward approach to automating the refresh button in your COMSOL model is as follows:
1. Extract the Java code from your COMSOL model: In COMSOL, you can export the model to Java code. Locate the section of the code that corresponds to the refresh button functionality.
2. Identify the relevant section for automation: Review the extracted Java code and identify the specific section that is responsible for triggering the refresh action when the button is clicked.
3. Utilize Python to automate the refresh action: In Python, you can make use of the `model.java` feature provided by COMSOL to interact with the Java code. You can create a Python script that sends the appropriate commands to trigger the refresh action in the COMSOL model.
By combining the capabilities of both Java and Python, you can automate the refresh button functionality in your COMSOL model. This allows you to programmatically initiate the refresh action without manual intervention.

In a membrane-packed bed reactor, the presence of a membrane introduces permeation, which affects the fluid velocity distribution within the reactor. To model the effect of permeation on the velocity, you can consider the concept of mass conservation and use appropriate equations that account for both convective flow and permeation. One commonly used equation is the Continuity Equation. Here's how you can incorporate permeation effects into the velocity modeling:

  • ∇ is the gradient operator,
  • ρ is the fluid density, and
  • u is the velocity vector.
  1. Incorporating Permeation: To incorporate the effect of permeation, you need to consider the additional flow due to the permeating species across the membrane. This can be expressed as:
∇ · (ρu) + ∇ · (ρ_pu_p) = 0
where:
  • ρ_p is the density of the permeating species, and
  • u_p is the velocity vector of the permeating species.
This equation combines the convective flow (first term) and the permeation flow (second term).
  1. Relationship between Velocity and Permeation: The relationship between the velocity of the permeating species (u_p) and the velocity of the fluid (u) can be determined by considering the permeability and surface area of the membrane, as well as the concentration gradient across the membrane. This relationship is typically specific to the membrane material and the permeating species and may require experimental data or modeling approaches specific to the system you are working with.
It's important to note that the modeling of membrane-packed bed reactors involves additional considerations beyond just velocity, such as concentration profiles, reaction kinetics, and mass transfer limitations. Depending on the complexity of your system and the specific phenomena you want to capture, you may need to incorporate additional equations or models to accurately represent the reactor behavior.
Consider consulting literature related to membrane-packed bed reactors or reaching out to experts in the field for guidance on specific equations, correlations, or modeling approaches that would be most appropriate for your system.

Regarding the connection between Beha'alotcha story of quail and pandemic COVID-19 punishment from G-d to go vegan is there any Vegan Rabbi who might have asked whether or not there is a connection, or who might like to answer the question since the plague was fairly recent and they might not have noticed the significance of this punishment and just like there having been ten plagues in Egypt, maybe we haven't yet experienced the potential "worst?" plague yet, and more are to come? Can WE do something to avert this imminent prediction or just go back to business as usual? Are we paying heed to G-d's warning and are we to take this seriously and stop being punished when we finally learn our lesson? Does any Rabbi wish to be interviewed on this topic within a reasonable period of time from the posting of this question?

Dears,
I have some troubles with the connection of Anritsu MS9740A with LabView via VISA.
I have read the Anritsu datasheet, and they comment that is possible to connect the Anritsu through GPIB and Ethernet but through command communication, they don't tell anything about LabView communication.
I have attached a ZIP with the VI Tree that allow the communication with the OSA, but, firstly when I connect via USB the Anritsu with my PC, I could not observe the instrument in the I/O VISA session. So, I don't know if I need install an additional driver or firmware that allows me the correct communication with the device.
Can you have some advice that can help me with this inconvenient?

Hello. I am trying to implement space vector pwm control for permanent magnet motor. In my work the permanent magnet motor is represented by two 3d look up table based flux maps. I have generated necessary switching signals for the universal bridge block which works as an inverter. My plan is to measure the three phase voltages with three phase V-I measurement block and then use park transformation to convert the abc voltage to d-q voltage values which after some mathematical operation will be inputs to the look up tables. However, I am facing two issues.
(1) I can not connect the output of the three phase VI measurement to a multiplexer through which I can connect the three phase voltages to the abc to dq0 block (as highlighted in the attached image). Is there any converter block required so that they can be connected?
(2) I need to measure the phase voltages (phase to ground). However, in my model there is ground connection. Will I be able to measure the phase voltage?

Can I connect the virtual sensor in NetSim to a cloud server? Is it possible to run a ‘real application’ in NetSim’s virtual sensor and connect it via the internet to a cloud server?
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, it is possible to connect a real device to a web server hosted on the cloud, such as XAMPP, and route the traffic through the NetSim emulator. NetSim supports network emulation, which allows you to simulate various network conditions and scenarios.
Within the NetSim emulator, you can configure the network conditions, such as latency, packet loss, bandwidth limitations, and other parameters, to simulate real-world network scenarios. This allows you to observe and analyze the impact of different network conditions on the performance of the web server and the communication between the real device and the server. Refer to NetSim Emulator Technology Library documentation at https://www.tetcos.com/help/v13.3/Technology-Libraries/Emulation.html for examples.
The traffic from the real device to the web server and the webserver to the real device can be sent via the emulator in two different ways:
  1. Adding a static route in the real device for outgoing traffic from the real device and at the router for incoming traffic from the web server (Recommended) OR
  2. Make the NetSim Emulation server a gateway for both incoming and outgoing traffic by adding 2 NICs to the system running NetSim Emulator. One NIC connects out to the router another connects to the real node.

Hi,
I am a final year PhD student and due to submit my thesis within the next couple of weeks time.
I have adopted political opportunity theory to address union strategy in the developing country in terms of coalition building/solidarity and collective action. Although there are many variables in the political opportunity theory, I have focused on openness and closing opportunity of the institutional political system.
Could you please advise me if this is ok to adopt just one variable or need to discuss all variables in the opportunity structure? To address openness, I discussed organising, servicing, connection, participation, negotiation under coalition building/solidarity and strike/protest under collective action as closing opportunity.
I would appreciate your valuable feedback on my approach/structure of the theory or pls let me know if I need to include anything to bridge any gap.
Kind regards
Samar
Relevant answer
Answer
Adopting a specific variable within the political opportunity theory framework, such as openness and closing opportunity of the institutional political system, is a valid approach for your research on union strategy in a developing country. It is not necessary to discuss all variables within the opportunity structure if they are not directly relevant to your research question or if they do not significantly contribute to your analysis.
By focusing on the openness and closing opportunities within the institutional political system, you are honing in on specific aspects that are crucial for understanding the dynamics of coalition building/solidarity and collective action in your context. It allows you to delve deeper into the factors that shape union strategies and their ability to mobilize and influence political outcomes.
In your analysis, it is important to clearly define and explain how organizing, servicing, connection, participation, negotiation, strike, and protest relate to the concept of openness and closing opportunities within the institutional political system. This will help establish the link between your selected variables and the broader framework of political opportunity theory.
To ensure a comprehensive analysis, you may also consider discussing any contextual factors that could influence the relationship between the institutional political system and union strategies. This could include social, economic, or historical factors that shape the opportunities and constraints faced by unions in the specific developing country context.
Overall, your approach of focusing on one variable within the political opportunity theory framework is acceptable as long as you provide a clear rationale for your choice and thoroughly analyze and interpret the selected variables in relation to your research question.

who do you think has more challenges upsream (suppliers of raw material) or downstream (SMEs) to adopt this strategy? or any other player? thoughts/suggestions are welcomed. Chers
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear friend Mir Dost
According to a post on ResearchGate, several companies export raw materials to different countries. In return, those countries import finished products from those supplies at high prices. The post also mentions that upstream manufacturing firms (i.e., steel, aluminum, plastic) can face challenges to connect with downstream SMEs to manufacture produce locally (What challenges upstream manufacturing firms...).
In addition, a McKinsey report states that 45% of small businesses have experienced disruptions in supply chains in June 2020. In many cases, leading firms have handed risks down the supply chain to vulnerable SMEs in developing countries, causing job losses and even bankruptcies. Regarding your second question, it is difficult to say who has more challenges upstream or downstream. Both parties face different challenges. For example, upstream manufacturers may face challenges such as raw material availability and transportation costs while SMEs may face challenges such as access to finance and technology. (Helping small and medium-size enterprises thrive..).
On the other hand, the OECD states that SMEs can often be more flexible and responsive to customer needs than large integrated firms. They can pool resources and share the costs of training, research and marketing. Clustering facilitates exchange of personnel and diffusion of technology and creates new possibilities for efficiency gains. This report mentions that they can pool resources and share the costs of training, research and marketing. Clustering facilitates exchange of personnel and diffusion of technology and creates new possibilities for efficiency gains (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises: Local Strength, Global Reach......).
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Lucy J. Parry points out the exclusionary character of "mainstream" democratic theory. Parry writes:
"There is a disconnect between democratic innovations in academic research and practice. Hans Asenbaum and Friedel Marquardt have already pointed out that, to reinvigorate democracy, we need to engage with those who enact it outside academia in their day-to-day work and lives. Practitioners – including facilitators, designers, public servants, NGOs and consultants – have been somewhat neglected in this debate. Yet they are often on the frontline of democratic innovations, and their experience can greatly enhance our understandings of democracy."
I have discussed Parry's point on and off with colleagues since this essay was published and one of the recurring questions in these discussions is how to connect with practitioners.
Academics are trained in typically exclusive arts that rely on specializing in specific methodologies, adopting certain writing styles, using technocratic language, publishing in specialist outlets, and attending specialist events/developing specialist networks. This does not bode well for collaborating with experts who not only do none of these things but sometimes have little interest in the "high theory" that some democratic theorists promote.
What would be your suggestion for helping democratic theorists to connect with experts outside of academia?

Hi everyone,
for a paper I am preparing a plot that links source, method of preparation, and application in a circle-like structure. To discuss it here, I prepared a sketch that should be easier to follow without prior knowledge of my specific field of research (see attached Graphic).
The three circle segments represent vegetables, things you can make from them, and places, where this food might be offered. Lines then connect Veggies, preparations, and types of restaurant, that typically go together.
Examples: Sweet potato chips and potato chips are a thing, hence a connecting line (Zucchini chips and pumkin chips not so much). Vodka is made from potatos, but not sweet potatoes, pumpkin, or Zucchini, and it is served in Pubs, and maybe fine dining restaurants, but rather not in Italian restaurants or Fast-food parlors.
Things I like about this plot-type are:
-I find it aesthetically pleasing.
-You can pretty easily identify niche and common entities from the number of lines originating there (like potatoes and soup going with kinda everything, and Zucchini and Vodka being rather picky).
-Following the lines from one entity, you get to all associated entities, making it quite easy to reference neighbors in the network.
-Unlike in a network graph, entities are not spread about the whole network, but neatly organized on the outside for reference and added text.
-Entities are easy to group into categories. More or less categories, than the three in the example would be possible.
In the example, the categories are all underlaid by a primary color (yellow, blue, red) and each line has the secondary color (orange, green, purple) of the categories it connects, to make it easier to follow the lines. However, the information density could be increased further by formatting the color and strength / thickness of lines. For example, you could code a probability or strength of association by a line color or by line thickness, like: How probable is it to find vodka at a fine dining restaurant; coded as color of the connecting line on a red-blue gradient like in a heat-map, or by line strength.
My questions are:
-Is this plot a new thing, or is there a plot type, that's basically the same, that I just don't know about.
-Does it make sense to display information in this way, or is there a more approachable or more aesthetically pleasing way of conferring the same information?
-What to call this kind of plot? My initial thought was cobweb plot, but that's already a thing. I then thought dreamcatcher, doily, or weaving-frame diagram, which don't seem to be taken already. The design is visually inspired by a circos plot, but otherwise doesn't share a lot of similarities. I am hence a bit hesitant, to call it "narrative circos plot" or "Network circos plot".
If you want to use this kind of plot, I'd be super happy to see your work! Would be cool, if you'd reference or link this post.
Also shout-out to Biorender, where I threw this plot together. However, I am sure, you can also make a plot like this with less manual moving of lines and icons, if you know your R (or GIMP or Inkscape for that matter).
PS: Please spare me your comments, that it actually is possible to make Vodka from Zucchini ;-D it's about the graph style, not the specifics for this one. The example graph is not super polished, but you get the picture. Also I think it's clear, that I am not researching the culinary scene, but I found that an easy and accessible example.

These principles are organized under four main themes: variation, selection, connectivity, and eco-evolutionary dynamics. Evolution by natural selection is the inevitable consequence of three simple conditions: variation, inheritance, and differential reproductive success.
Relevant answer
Answer
Evolution can be seen as a two-step process. First, hereditary variation takes place; second, selection is made of those genetic variants that will be passed on most effectively to the following generations. The evolution stages include the Great Radiance, Chemical Evolution, Celestial Evolution, Biological Evolution, Cooperative Evolution, Cultural Evolution and Enlightened Evolution. The “Seven Stages” view of cosmic evolution is informed by many authors and from extensive research in biology and human Cultural Revolution. Both groups of scientists agree that natural selection is the single most important factor in evolutionary changes in species. Whether the change is slow and gradual or punctuated and rapid, one thing is certain: Organisms have evolved over time.The mechanism of evolution occurs due to the changes in the gene pool- the collection of genes. There are four principles at work in evolution—variation, inheritance, selection and time. These are considered the components of the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection. They are: mutation, non-random mating, gene flow, finite population size and natural selection.
