Hello,
Can anyone suggest a good protocol for isolation of somatic cells. The present protocols we are using now are not very satisfactory. Is anyone having good experience in extraction of cells?
Thank You.

Answer
You'll have to specify the organism and tissue type to get any sort of helpful response. Check the methods sections of recent paper and look for commercially available kits.

Dear researchers,
I would like to hear and learn from your suggestions based on your general experience, during the course of your doctoral thesis writing.
Relevant answer
Answer
Ebenezer - Personally, I don't think that there is a smart and fast strategy for such a task. If you are talking about starting a PhD thesis from scratch and completing it within 4-8 weeks - I can't see that it is possible - unless one intends to fail. Even in the worst-case scenario - PhD students would commence writing (full-time or part-time) 12 months before submission. Most will start well before then - and have been crafting publications i.e. their literature review before then. One has to factor in other limiters - such as supervisors receiving drafts and feeding back periods.
I also note that you state a 40,000 word doctoral thesis. Most 'full' (not PhD by coursework i.e. EdD) PhD theses are usually more around at least double that.

Hi all !
Hi Claude !
Now I only use an EFA for observation purpose when I don't have an idea about how the data behave, when I'm at the beginning of a mesurement instrument creation process. For example when I gather some affirmations during interviews of a small sample of teachers and when I then submit these affirmation to a larger sample of teacher asking them to give there agrement on a Lickert type scale. Brefly writing EFA has its name : exploration. I see also advantage in its capability to categorize data and in its ability to reduce data by removing information.
This leads to the disadvantage that it removes information ignoring maybe relevant information. One can choose a particular model with EFA that is just the reflection of noise in the data. I once ran an EFA removing items getting more and more unsatisfied of what happened and more and more surprised of the incoherent solution that was produced with weak model fit. Then I run a CFA based on the hypotesis I had "just for fun" as I am naturaly curious. I got better model fit, close to cut-of ; including some between item error correlation getting perfect fit. Another time I just had to include a general factor with all items with a 3 factor structure with each subgroups of the items.
To Resume, I now prefer to directly run CFA when I have a clear idea, mostly research informed or based on former validation, of data structure. I've posted a complementary question to yours on RG.
The answers are instructive.
All the best

what are the specific design processes (and methodologies) when we are tackling (product) Experience Design?
Relevant answer
Answer
1.Perception of the product in the Individual mind-consciousness, and how it is identified with anything know before... that is identification.
2.In case the Product is totally new ( nothing that matches with previous information, knowledge etc) then the new interpretation of the perception starts as new experience for which the mind should be OPEN.... which can accept new perceptios and interpretations readily.

A. Einstein in 1920 realized that his theory might not be complete, in the sense that Mach's principle was not consistently applied to the general relativity theory as space-time is not made of matter-energy, see: http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Extras/Einstein_ether.html . He mentioned the idea of a relativistic aether, not the static one, a more relativistic one. I have no empirical argument to prove what I say so far, but I say it anyway, for the sake of discussion. In one of my recent paper: , I explore the hypothesis stating that space-time was a material with some elastic properties. My conclusion is that the stiffness of space-time is so high at the present epoch (in the cosmological scale) that we cannot really interact with it, except through the classical general relativistic geometrical-like interaction. However, following this hypothesis, one could find best-fit parameters that predict cosmological inflation and resolve the so-called cosmological constant problem. In this regime, space-time is elastic, and can be deformed as any other material, as any other field that can be quantized. Why space-time should be 'so' different than any other field and in the same time be quantized ? Why not considering that space-time was as any other field, and experienced a phase transition that made him stiffed ? May be geometry is a a consequence of that, and not the cause. Then, the Mach principle becomes consistent to the theory, and the space-time background hypothesis is not required anymore.

Hans, I don't think the absorption/emission is instantaneous, but the electron can have size without it having to "absorb" the photon. It does have an electric field that will interact with the electric/magnetic oscillations of the photon. My personal view is that the electron motion is accompanied by a physical wave (similar to the pilot wave) except the wave has an energy determined by the particle, and vice versa, so what has to change is the energy of the accompanying wave. That the wave has an energy follows from the assumption that the phase velocity equals the particle velocity.

From the field experience, it came to know that crops/livestock's insurer farmers were also expecting to return  premium amount/sum insured after certain time as in case of life insurance. So it would be better to combine both schemes to treat farmer psychologically and benefit both parties. If there is experience of combing both life and non-life insurance schemes, expecting its approaches and experiences (positive and negative) of implementation
Relevant answer
Answer
In India we have different insurance plans. Life and non-life (crops/ iivestock) are not taken together. Humans have long life cycle whereas plants have short life cycle. Premiums also differ accordingly.

I am working with undergraduate students who will partake in an intense international field experience.  I am interested in measuring how their abilities to interpret field data change over time and their understandings of the geology/geophysics that they encounter during their 30 days in Malawi.  Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Relevant answer
Answer
A cheap method for first year students is the collection and correction/ commentation of fieldbook notes immediately after the last outcrop of the day. Gives you an exact idea what and how much each of them has seen and also what they considered as noteworthy (also suggested by Guenter Grundmann).
Each point/outcrop of an excursion should include an observation or documentation task and students should be given some time to look around and in the aftermath the results are noted and discussed with the whole group. (It doesn't make much sense to tell them everything before they had the chance to find out for themselves.)
Documentation challenges may rise in the course of the field trip: from documentation of individual outcrops to transects and from transects to (mapping) areas.

Answer
Dear Ksenia,
Thank you… again, your insightful question about unhappiness in the private lives of some of us. There are several thoughts that come to mind. Many of us initially explore psychology in order to seek answers to our own issues. We try to find out why we feel the way we feel. We often find ‘an’ answer… even ‘the’ answer, but then come to the realization that knowing ‘why’ doesn’t solve the problem or change the way we feel. Some of us carry the weight of our client’s problems on our shoulders and feel guilty that we haven’t been successful in solving their issues. We often dwell on the life issues of our clients and are remiss in being emotionally ‘present’ to our own loved ones and in our own personal home-lives. Additionally, and unfortunately, some of us feel that we are superior to the world around us. We wear our ‘titles’ like a crown and are unhappy because others in our lives and society in general doesn’t function the way we would like it to.
I have found, as noted in my previous post, that although I need to be the best clinician I can possibly be, I am not responsible for the results. I am not responsible for successes nor failures. The ‘foundation’ of my practice is derived from the belief that there is a Power greater than myself – and greater than my and my client’s difficulties. I try to take the attitude that I have been blessed with certain skills and I am to use those skills to the best of my ability to be of maximum service to those who have been placed in my care. At the end of the day, if I have performed to the best of my ability, then I have done all I could do – thus, I have no residual stress – and I can sleep well. I can be ‘present’ (in the here and now) to my family and friends. Additionally, when I recognize that my skills are a ‘gift’ that I have been blessed with, then I am much less prone to feel that my professional ‘title’ makes me apart from others. I am different in that we are all different. We all have abilities of one form or another, each useful to others if used appropriately. I feel happiest when I take on the ‘worker-bee’ role. Every day is a new day. I view the ‘Power-greater-than-me’ as ‘management’. I perform my work to the best of my ability. This ‘Higher Power’ takes on the responsibility for the results. I have witnessed some amazing results. But I’m not the miracle worker. I’m just the worker.
I don’t know if this is making any sense, but this method of approaching the profession has brought a sense of happiness and fulfillment. My conscience is clear. My stress level is reduced. I seem to maintain a sense of humility, and I begin to find personal answers to the internal ‘questions’ that many of us initially presented with: “Who am I and why am I here?” When I’ve done the best I can today and feel I’m on a solid ‘foundation’, then I feel comfortable in my own skin. When I take this feeling and way of interacting with others into my personal life, I seem to experience ‘happiness’. I am then emotionally present to my family. I can choose to be happy. Misery is optional. The problems are complex, but the answers are simple (though not always easy). If I dwell on the problem, the problem gets larger. If I dwell on the solution, the problem decreases. Live in the solution.
I do hope this is understandable… and helpful to your journey. I wish you peace, joy, and happiness.
