How do microbeads behave in the Stokes Flow regime, do they focus with respect to the flow rate?

Hello, everyone! My name is Xu Yongqian, and you can call me Eric. My work focus on the coral microbiome. Corals are marine invertebrates that form close associations with a wide diversity of microorganisms, including photoautotrophic dinoflagellates(Symbiodiniaceae), protozoa, fungi, bacteria, archaea, and viruses. especially for zooxanthella and bacteria.

Before that, my main job was to isolate and culture Symbiodiniaceaeand bacteria, and study their ecological function. Recently, I found that few works have been done on coral symbiotic archaea. either because they are far less abundant and diverse in coral symbionts than bacteria, or because they are difficult to cultivate.

I know it's very hard, but I still want to try to isolate archaea from coral. I have no experience in cultivating archaea. Therefore, I would like to ask about the culture medium and methods of archaea. Besides, I also want to know the extraction methods of archaea DNA.

In a word, any experience, paper, scholars or other information is welcome. And if you have any ideas, please contact me. My email is Yongqian_Xu@outlook.com

Economics is a constantly evolving field, with new theories and ideas being developed over time. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on issues such as inequality, sustainability, and the role of technology in the economy. Additionally, there has been a growing interest in behavioral economics, which incorporates insights from psychology into economic analysis. Additionally, new area of study like green economics, digital economics and more are been focus to understand the economic development with time.

Looking forward to current research trends in educational leadership with focus on model or tool development.

Phenomenology. Van Manen method of data analysis

I used the data from a previously published article for a new article. These two paper are identical in data acquisition, and similar in data analysis method. However, the focus are different. The findings and conclusion are different.

In this case, how to clarify the duplicity in the manuscript? Do I need to do anything else than citing the previous study in the manuscript and clarify it in the cover letter? Any example articles dealing with the same situation?

Thank you!

Hello all researchers

I am going to develop and prepare a PhD research proposal and am interested in designing experimental research. Due to my research design, the first study will focus on qualitative (interview) to explore variables, and connecting with the second study will focus on quantitative by using the first study variables as independent variables to find an effect on dependent variables. As a quantitative step, I will give the questionnaire to people who have been using Instagram for more than a year (pre-stage). Can I select samples from the pre-stage to do a focus group if I want to study them deeply via the post-stage to see their post-experience with them?

For example,

Study 1: qualitative to explore variables

Study 2: quantitative to find an effect using the SEM model (pre-stage). The outcome will be on behavior intention. Then, for the post-stage, I will conduct qualitative research as a focus group to extend the outcome as post-experience (after using).

Are they involved in the experimental research design?

Nowadays, there are different methods for preparation of MOFs such as solvothermal/hydrothermal, microwave, ultra-sonication, electrochemical etc. However, if we focus on the surface area, it will vary depending on the type of synthesis we used. So, I am very curious to know how and what kind of synthesis conditions we follow to get highly porous MOFs.

Dear professors,

Is that feasible for me to conduct a study of the effects of a teaching intervention on students' receptive skills, meaning reading and listening skills simultaneously? Is that too many things that I should focus on to implement?

We have to examine the basic changes we need to adopt to match the pace of the competition. We have to focus on How to bring change, what kind of change, to what extent change is required.

Hi research community, I am interested to focus my research on Sustainability transition for SMEs from a management perspective. I will appreciate any suggestion about the topic and where to start to explore. Thank you in advanced.

Hi all,

we have been doing quite a few operando Raman analyses of batteries and supercapacitors. We always observe that the signal start to fade as voltage increase to certain levels. Is there any reasonable explanation for that? Is that something consolidated in literature or too trivial?

That is just a focus lost? That really a coincidence with electrolyte stability.

Best regards,

I am investigating the influence of the Big Pharma in the society; some mental illnesses recently got over-diagnosed, and treatment of those mental illnesses 'happened to be' pharmaceutical. There are studies about the public perception on this matter, saying many members in many societies believe too many people are diagnosed with eg depression, while they don't have it (1). Yet it's rather difficult to find peer-reviewed evidence based studies, examining the matter with the Big Pharma in the focus.

I have 2 groups that I'm measuring effect of intervention. There is a large variation in SD for the intervention and non intervention. Intervention SD is 74.24 and non-Intervention SD is 63. How this can reflect the Intervention as true predictor vs Non-Intervention? Do I focus on normality? (There is normal distribution between the two) or something else? How to discuss as a limitation? Thanks

Africa has the youngest population and highest youth unemployment rates in the world. Every year, 11 million young people join the African labour market but the continent can only generate 3.7 million jobs.The agriculture sector has the potential to absorb the unemployed youth but generally farming is not attractive to the teeming youth especially the university graduates in terms of profitability compared to white-collar jobs.

How can we make agriculture attractive to increase youth participation?

Where should the focus be?

The ideal training would be an emphasis on theory and de novo method development. The person I have in mind for this has years of experience running methods, maintaining and troubleshooting. TIA! Mark

I am trying to do a content analysis of suicidal posts on Facebook. But I am confused a little bit about the variable as to what variables I should focus on. Can anyone help me understand this phenomenon or is there anyone who can help me by providing the already-published sample of the paper on the said topic?

In Brazil, the investments coordinated by MoH (61.5%) in partnership with the S&T, education and economic sectors (38.5%) consisted of Int$137.35 million in 282 ATMP projects. Funding included S&T and innovation research (67% of the total amount) and projects to implement or maintain infrastructure in selected research centers (32.98%). With regard to global convergence, cell therapy was the type of ATMP that most benefited from public investment, totaling 82.23% of the total funding in the analyzed period. Cardiology (29%) and neu[1]rology (21%) were the main focus of clinical trials. Following the global trend of public sector R&D funding, the number of basic and pre-clinical research projects represented 78.06% of the total number of projects.

Hi everyone. Is it possible to focus a Plane Wave source in a smaller material surface? Look attached image. If I want to focus only a smaller "surface" with a wavefront, how could I do it ?

Why this question ? Because I would like to avoid impedance mismatching with air (thus Z_optic=230 Ohm and Z_air=377 Ohm )

I am trying to figure out the best way to move forward, career-wise. I feel there are two large parts of me that need to be satisfied. The first is my curious nature and enjoyment of knowledge. The second is my desire to help people (directly). I joined a PhD program because of my curiosity, it was basically a default decision/obvious next step. Thinking generally, this PhD program allows me the time to develop the skills to ask and answer scientific questions (ie explore my curiosity): finding the appropriate questions to ask and how to answer them with literature reading, hypothesis generation, experimental design, benchwork, and scientific communication. However, I definitely feel I am missing the other major part of me, the desire to help people. I am currently working on cancer biology, which is very interesting and important, but to me it only helps people indirectly (advance the field, provide theoretical targets, etc.). I feel I am missing a humanitarian, human to human connection. If the action is to explore my curiosity, then the motivation is to help people (I am not sure if this will make sense to anyone). Right now it feels as though I am only able to focus on being curious. I also feel that a PhD will only allow me to be curious and not allow me to help people individually. Please excuse my ignorance of the health field, but I think the inverse of this feeling is encapsulated by being a nurse. Where I would only be helping people and not able to also explore my curiosities as freely. This is why I think I am drawn to a MD/PhD. In my extremely limited mind, and knowledge of both fields (research/healthcare), it feels like having the trade skills of helping/treating people (MD) as well as the skills of exploration/curiosity (PhD) are what will be required for me to approach satisfaction. Granted I have no idea what is available, career-wise, for a PhD that allows direct helping of people (other than mentoring/teaching - which I am also interested in), and this is why I pose this question to everyone. I understand how little I know about the research field, as well as the healthcare field, and I am open to all points of view.

I need to find a proper way to validate my interview items (questions) before I use them in collecting information from the interviewees.

Can I use a focus discussion group as a validation method? Can I meet the expert (panelist) individually, or do I have to manage a meeting that includes all the experts at the same time?

Hi, everyone. I'm in the last year of my doctorate and would like to do a postdoc abroad next year. However, I see that many opportunities require extensive curriculum, publications, teaching experience, language proficiency, etc. Should I focus on getting more publications, improving my language proficiency, making contacts, or something else?

I am dedicating myself to learning about Machine Learning algorithms, landslide susceptibility modeling, LULC classification, coding in R (RStudio and Planetary Computer) and JavaScript (Google Earth Engine), and I'm also learning languages (Portuguese (native speaker), Spanish (fluent), English and Italian (advanced), French and German (basic)). However, I don't feel prepared for the Postdoc positions available.

I appreciate if anyone can give me some tips.

Hello,

I'm a Ph.D. candidate, and I would like to conduct a survey on AI-driven product management. At the intersection of the fields of AI and product management, we can distinguish either the management of AI products and components or the use of AI to help develop and manage the product (which does not have to have any AI component in it). I focus more on the latter field in my research - what do you think, from your experience, should be included in such a survey?

I am interested in seeing whether the focus of GIScience studies have shifted over the last few decades from being more local or regional in scale towards global. My assumption is that due to the availability and accessibility of global datasets (e.g. user generated data) and technical advancements that make it possible to analyse these datasets triggered a shift in geographic focus.

In a recent review of OpenStreetMap related publications, we found that 6.5% of analyzed publications had a global focus [1] . I was wondering if there are similar review papers that are broader in scope.

Hi! Recently we started using Cytation 1 in our lab to count cells and see them on a plate. I have no problems counting HEK 293T cells in 24 well plates from "Greiner bio-one" or "Thermo Nunclon Delta Surface" (look at them, they look so pretty!). But when we move on in a 48 well plate from the same brands, Cytation 1 cannot focus, and we have results like the ones in the second picture.

Also, my colleagues are having problems with the 24 well plate but counting fibroblast instead of HEK. We didn't change a thing in the settings, and we are really mad about it. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I am investigating the decolonisation process in in Sub-Saharan Africa. My focus is on the effectiveness on the Decolonisation Charter and the underpinning UN principles , that guide the process of decolonisation.

In many studies, people consider results as statistically significant if the p-value of the data analysis is less than the prespecified alpha (significance level) of 0.05. Thus, many researchers (including me!) are often more enthusiastic about in-depth discussions of our results when our test statistics of the relationship between variables or difference among sample groups shows an alpha value of 0.05 or less. Some differences have huge ecological implications at an alpha value of 0.1 or greater. That could also be why we do not always get the threshold for statistical significance we often set at 0.05. Why don't we focus more on the ecological importance of ecological observation than the statistical significance?

Hello all!

I am working on a time series model by using FB prophet. One of the issues I have is that in certain days, the model is consistently over or under forecasting. General diagnosis I have for these over or under estimations indicate potential outliers on those dates. However, on those dates, there are reasons for variation/outliers but the magnitude may not be taken into consideration accordingly by the model. What I mean by this is that we do have certain events happening on these dates that we do expect it to go up & down based on the changes in some of the variables. It is adjusting to the variable to update the yhat but I can not seem to figure out the reason in some days. Lets say every 4th Thursday of the month it overestimates but in other 3 it is within the reasonable error margin.

Any ideas or suggestions as to where I should focus on to figure out this very particular issue?

I have looked into many potential external factors that may cause these changes but so far have not been able to solve the issue with any additional variable hence I am now looking into the y itself to see if there are any obvious things that I am missing.

Looking forward to brainstorming with you all.

Would love to know the names of journals reflected in the UGC-CARE list that focus on education or special education.

Especially for newcomers to tertiary education, do they need to focus on research + present + write + publish like the oldtimers, or do they just need to focus 100% on their online teaching activities?

I have had to withdraw a manuscript I submitted for publication because the reviewer insisted that I include work which I consider tangential to my focus in a paper recently. While I found all their criticisms valuable I considered their insistence for inclusion of particular papers which in my opinion are tangential to the work as unacceptable. It does appear that reviewer's fail to understand an author's perspective and on account of their reviewer status have operated to force their views and orientation on other people's works. They have in many instances completely diverted many an author's view point to their own which practice is only working to narrow perspectives to issues.
