Good morning Prof,l am Davidson Oliver Anigbata, PhD. I am interested in the research. I have a PhD in Public Administration and Development Studies. Am I eligible to apply for the position advertised?

I hope you found a way; if not, you can send an invite link if the research associate has coauthored any of your studies and the same has been published in Researchgate.

Ali Abedi Madiseh Thank you very much for the insights, I will look into it !

Dear Thibaud Trichard ,

In order to analyze a dataset, first we work with you to formulate a dataset that is ripe for machine learning. If you're still reading, chances are, you have a hypothesis about some insights that may be gained from your data.

Dear Mehdi Jafri ,

According to this study, the Random Forest technique has produced the best results, with an accuracy rate of 90% compared to other machine learning methods. The use of machine-learning methods, such as logistic regression and K-NN, to predict and categorize patients with heart disease is recommended by Jindal et al.

Our research aims to advance heart disease prediction utilizing AI techniques, with a particular focus on early detection before disease progression reaches its peak severity. Leveraging insights from our recent preprint review article (https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.07609), we propose integrating retinal imaging as a non-invasive approach for assessing cardiovascular risk. Our opinion underscores the potential of AI algorithms, notably CNNs, to analyze retinal biomarkers indicative of heart disease risk. By combining AI-driven analysis of retinal features with clinical data, we advocate for the development of predictive models facilitating proactive intervention strategies. This approach holds promise for timely medical management, enabling interventions to be initiated before the disease reaches its peak severity.

One of the key issues to be accounted is the tension/conflicts of Hormuz strait which controls the traffic of oil production from Persian Gulf to the world outside. If you put investment and need to traffic your commodities via this route, you need to pay attention on this factor.

"Oil is a key commodity with approximately 20% of seaborne oil in the world transported via the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz has been the scene of a stand-off between Iran and the United States before. On 18 April 1988, the U.S. Navy waged a one-day battle against Iranian forces in and around the strait."

Dear Félix Oscar Socorro Márquez,

Thank you for your lovely comments towards 'diversity discussion.'

Inside the word 'diversity', are there two letters 'i'?

I think one letter 'i' is the beginning of the word of 'idea.' The other letter 'i' is the beginning of the word of 'interesting.'

That mean we are having an interesting idea. Don't you think so?

There are also two letters 'i', one is inside the word of 'Félix,' and the other is inside the word of Thieu. Is it interesting?

Vietnamese proverb has a saying: Bầu ơi thương lấy bí cùng, tuy rằng khác giống nhưng chung một giàn.

Vietnamese proverb has a saying: Despite being of different species, winter melons and gourds are grown on the same structure, in the same place, so they should love each other.

My Friend,

I am wondering that is it a responsibility to return the soil back to the roofs of buildings, ready for green fields on the roofs?

(As you know, there are more than two letters 'i' in the word of responsibility.

I am glad to know you, Félix!

Dear Alan F Rawle , I thought since my question sounds exactly the same, my solution would also belong here.

I did contact the support - and now the issue seems to be resolved! In fact, the reason was pretty simple: loose contact between the cell electrodes and the device (more precisely, the electrodes on the cell were not pushing the electrodes inside the measurement chamber fully against the walls - even though it didn't look loose). According to the support agent's advise, I bent the electrodes on the cell a little and came up with some tricks to insert the cell inside.

I can't say my measurements are now 100% clean and reliable, but at least I have some signal.

John Francis Miller , I see your point. This must be one of the reasons you avoid the disposable DTS1060 cells...

Education

Great suggestion by Sally Elkady . I would suggest that you get into a PhD program focusing on Transdisciplinary research which straddles both policy-making and Biology. You have studied Phytobiology ( plant ecology), entomology, and genomics. I think it is a great combo to explore the impact of GM seeds and variants on friendly insects and plant ecology. This is exactly what is needed to influence policy. Your research comes would be suggested policy direction or changes that would ensure that ecology and friendly insects are protected for sustainable farming. Hope this helps.

Thanks sir

Management consulting - Wikipedia

History of Management Consulting. Management Consulting began to develop shortly after the rise of management as a unique field of enterprise in the late 19th Century, along with the Industrial Revolution. The early firms were started by university professors. The first management consulting firm was named Arthur D.

Tlhere is good research in WASET periods, as well as bad work. In reputable magazines, sometimes there are bad works. The person meeting someone from the magazine may overlook bad work. That way, a reputable magazine can contain bad work. On the other hand, predatory magazines can contain good work.

In Research Methods, the focus is on the traditional research process and the methods used. In the consulting process, one of the major concerns is the need of the stakeholders- the clients. Usually, the method used is that of action research as differentiated from traditional research. You need to differentiate too the role of the management consultant from the organization development consultant. The process is different since there is entry and contracting, diagnosis and feedback, implementation of interventions, evaluation and institutionalizing the change effort. Consulting can be a one time thing focused or limited to a specific intervention, but the OD work is concerned with the whole process.

Dear Thanh

There is no doubt that determining criteria is important, and also their relative importance

Importance for what?

To select alternatives? No.

They are used to establish balances between criteria, determining gains and losses, and nothing else, therefore, they are not useful to evaluate alternatives

The only weights that are useful are those that measure the intrinsic discrimination in each criterion, such as Entropy and Standard Deviation

I always would like to cooperate, but your field far away from my field. All the best.

Dear Alex,

My point was that such a question could not really be answered precisely. Ultimately, it is up to a negotiation between the consultant and the contractor. I have done very little consulting in the health or business world, so I don't really have an answer for you. However, I suggest this for people starting out. That is to ask the contractor is they have a standard range they pay. After one gains some experience, they learn a reasonable range to ask.

Good luck,

Jim McLean

Reminder to my estimated colleagues

One year ago requested to stop asking copies of my books or some chapters, and I explained the reasons.

It is not me, I don't own the books, I am only the author, and as that I can't send copies of them

I am deeply honored at these requests, but unfortunately there is nothing I can do. I have a signed contract with my publisher and I must honor it.

Until now I have been responding to everyone that asked for a book or a chapter of a book. I am sorry but from now on I will not longer respond and give an explanation for my refusal. I hope that you will understand

Every article that I write is published in RG, therefore, that is the place to go to get copies.

Thank you for your comprehension

Dear Louise,

You can explore the 2 scales-

Of course you need to calibrate your equipment and perform good maintenance. Like the pipetting error in the old days, there will always be an analyser error nowadays, mainly bias for wrong settings but also imprecision due to wear.

What kind of equipment / kind of lab are you dealing with? Best option is to perform regular (time interval dependent on the purpose) both internal and external quality control and keep your equipment within the specs your manufacturer and your professional organisation have laid down

I also received the same email. I think you will get payment if you include their name in your research work, i.e. co-authorship without contribution. Better to ignore such emails.

14 years old; Ha! That's hilarious. That Evangelos was in his twenties at the time. Best of luck with your fine work.

hi behnam aziz

Use the following fish in photo and in the software manual for bulk modulus and shear modulus

true and false. true to some extent.

HRM consulting may be unique to some extent, but it is not fully unique. it still has a base and reference. it may be differentiated, but it is unlikely fully differentiated.

HRM consultants are different from other consultants only to some extent. one can still look at what consultants require in general.

HRM consulting literature may be scarce. perhaps also the reason for your post.

HRM consulting should have 2 pillars. consultants and HRM. i think you should pay equal attention to both.

The basic principle of lean manufacturing is identification and reduction of wastages in a manufacturing processes. Hence , at the begining of industry 4.0 implementation such type of strategy should be consider so that overall cost and efforts will decreases.

I'm not personally familiar with any web tools for creating corpora. Perhaps someone else here can help you.

check this site

If you have data on the location of the trees which you inventoried (and I mean precise geo-coordinates), then simply download VHR imagery (or consult with your project partners about acquiring UAV imagery for your area of interest, photogrammetrically pre-process it to extract an Orthomosaic) of your area of interest. This could be used for your OBIA to extract tree CPA which you can then match to your tree height dataset using their locational information. Once you have these matched, you can then proceed to using a species-specific allometric model ( you can extract this from the GlobAllomeTree website). You can even model the DBH of your current trees out, extract their wood density while at it and lots more. It should be very interesting but if you encounter further problems or need more technical advice you can contact me personally on this platform. Best of luck.

You're welcome! Don't hesitate to contact Museums, Zoos and specialists around the world to get the precious references ;)

thank you I will check with my teacher

The key in all of these publications and approaches is combining top-down and bottom-up techniques to work together, rather than relying on only a single direction. We can all learn, teach, and exchange.

I think,

'Creative Identity' is a thing which is associated with creativity and the society. Someone who has creative identity, he must has two things, one is creativity which is also recognized as creativeness by the society. If society does not give any recognition of anybody's creativity, the 'creative Identity' will not developed!? Even, the development of an Identity is not only dependent on an individual one but also on societal context(culture, power structure, economics, politics, etc.). There are abound of examples around us that people may have creativity but they are being treated as the men of insane work. Here the power politics of social exclusion is very relevant.

Moreover, in capitalist economy and society there is a deep influence of institutionalization. Now a days creativity is being shaped by the institutional nature and institution gives a testimony of creativeness which has a 'cultural capital', this sort of capital helps to get an Identity too. Creativity is existing every where, some are recognized, some are not and some are ignored!

I just want to explain with an example:

Now I am working with the Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMN) in Bangladesh. You know, this is the world's largest refugee and humanitarian crisis in recent time. Here, I found, many children are playing with their hand made toys. Now question is that, the boy or girl who is playing with hand made toys made by him/herself is creative? Definitely they are creative. Creativity always comes out from the human spirit whatever it is in emergency situation or in peaceful situation. But, when we will talk about 'creative identity' it becomes complicated with the connection of society.

Hi,

in my opinion you could start form Cap. 9 Radiologicla Aspect of the WHO GUIDELINES FOR DRINKING-WATER QUALITY 4th edition.

Other way is:

EURATOM directive 2013/51

Or

Or IAEA pubblication:

Or

But i think you could before know the dose coefficient by ingestion of Uranium (238, 234 and 235), Radon and short half-life daughters (Alpha nd beta), keep the annual average consumption of water and you could know the dose by ingestion radionuclides present in drinking water

Contact the author as a consulting expert. He would adapt the measures on your request.

Hi, Carla!!

You can use the Mapping methodology for a first review and SLR for a more detailed review.

Not necessarily. If you were careful when adding the experts perspectives you may avoid the validity and reliability issues. Nevertheless, data itself will provide the evidence you seek: if it passes the validy and reliability tests, you will have a smoth integration of literature and experts insights.

" you never prove something in statistics!"

beautiful.

if only these words were to be seen every day in each statistics classroom... we would have avoided so many confusions and misunderstandings. the scale of abuse and misinterpretation of statistics truly amazes me.

i remember being taught to do anova tables using pocket calculator, but not really being taught to grasp the concept and philosophy behind "take-and-go" procedures. took me years to compensate.

@Timira, thank you for your answer. So, if I develop the hypothesis as "x factor is very important (4 on a 1-5 scale) in consulting success at 90% confidence," that would make more sense? If that is what you suggested, then what method can I use to prove or reject this statement? I have values right now for the variable on a 1-5 scale so I can only calculate the mean. Is there any other method or calculation that I can use to bring in the "confidence" element? Thanks.

As I know, WDX can quantitively measure nitrogen up to detection limit around 0.01wt % with detector cyrstals having very higher sensitivity for Nitrogen. You also need good standard materials for accuracy.

Dear Johan Koster

I hope that these articles and links will be useful.

Hi,

These are two forms of usage, You may consult a page without citing it, as a first step, and if you find it relevant and meaningful to your paper, then you cite it.

Jerry Miller's advice is spot-on! And thanks Jerry for the Gopal Kanji book recommendation. But I must disagree (in part) with Mohammed Yousif Abbas Mohammed - rather use an experienced researcher in your own field than a professional statistician, unless they are familiar with your field. Too often, pure statisticians will take a purist line that ties the beginner in knots. You need someone who knows what will be accepted in the field in question, and what will be publishable.

hello I'm doing similar work on ballistic impacts on ceramics with LsDyna.

Although I''m not getting comminuted fracture of ceramic. I'm using hard steel core projectile. Please help me in modeling the ceramic materials.

I have gotten a copy of Pratt's article, "Arterial Varices," [see attachment]. I do not see a reference to the 6 P's or elements of a formal neurovascular assessment in the article. Do you have another source that identifies Pratt as the originator of the "6 P's"?

Thanks again!

You can check the articles that the magazine has published, generally although each magazine has its rules, others have a template, but it is best to read and review previous articles that magazine has published, so you get the idea that they review when you send the article, extension of the article, formats of the tables and figures and do not forget the references, they give great importance to the format of these.

Hi Chrystelle,

Interesting questions. Couple of things: what is the underlying population structure of these species without considering sample location? Have you performed analyses such as a PCA, clustering, or genetic distance? Estimated the number of migrants or migration rates? That way you can identify potential genetic groupings that would serve as a more appropriate units to estimate Ne. It would be more biologically-based than sample-based.

With LDNe it is often advisable to estimate Ne using different thresholds of MAF. I believe the default is usually 0.02. That will give an indication of how much MAF is affecting your estimates of Ne.

In theory Ne estimates for different species are comparable. Are the same exact loci being used across species? There are a number of studies that have pulled together Ne estimates from different species and compared them, so I would say they are comparable. The theory is the same.

Try estimating Ne at the site-level and across sites and report both with a fair discussion of what the limitations of combining site localities with slight substructuring might be. Check out some of Andrew Whiteley's paper's on brook trout: he has written extensively about this topic. Also, Wang's recent paper in Molecular Ecology suggests his sibship based estimate of Ne implemented in Colony might be more accurate and does not have the same assumptions of LD-Ne, but requires a larger sample size.

Good luck.

Hi Robert,

You probably might have realised that there’s no gold standard approach to analysing eye tracking data. Rather the approaches that the researchers used are primarily driven by their research questions, and the limitations of their eye tracking equipment (such as sampling rates, design flaws etc.).

Before you even go about extracting probability of first fixation for each of your stimuli etc. (though I'm not sure why you would need that variable), you'll definitely need to parse your eye tracking data first. Given that you’re interested in fixation data, perhaps this paper may be a great start in terms of understanding some of the broad approaches for parsing eye tracking data (saccades and fixations). This article even provides some pseudocodes for readers to get started -

Salvucci & Goldberg (2000) Identifying fixations and saccades in eye-tracking protocols

This reader-friendly book has also been recommended to me previously when I just started eye tracking -

Holmqvist, K et al. Eye tracking: A comprehensive guide to methods and measures

Also if I’m not mistaken, the Tobii software uses a velocity-based threshold approach for parsing saccades from fixations. They have published their ‘white-papers’ with regards to their eye tracker under the authors Olsen & Matos. It is up to you to decide if the Tobii software and the filter used can provide you with the variables/ data you need to answer your research question.

Hope this helps,

Stace

Hi Daniela,

the intensity values you get depend on many factors (mainly laser intensity and image acquisition settings). This is why there is no general number for a minimal fluorescence intensity value that corresponds to positive cells.

A good protocol to count positive cells is (in my opinion) the following:

1. Make sure the samples you want to compare are stained together, to avoid differences in the quality of your immunofluorescence staining

2. Acquire all your images with the same laser, objective and imaging settings

3. Take one representative image and use ImageJ to set a threshold so that your positive cells are above the threshold and negatives are below. This is really very much like looking at your image and deciding what is the best value.

4. Analyse all your images with the same threshold settings.

In practice, this is not very different from looking at your images and counting cells; one does this to eliminate personal bias, that might bring you to include cells that are not so clearly positive in some of the samples.

Best of luck!

Excellent, thanks again, Peter
