As you probably know and it has been said in the articles, for example, this method does not work 100% for the rest of the work. For this reason, every researcher should increase and decrease different conditions and variables in their experimental tests to reach an optimal and correct method.
I would be happy if you active researchers in this field express your opinion and solution.
Thank you in advance for your kind opinion.
Good luck to you dear researchers.

Hello!
Microplastic is a generic term used to refer to all plastic particles (whether primary or secondary) less than 5 mm in size (the size range of the particles is also a topic of debate among different researchers). Unlike most other types of environmental pollution, the term "microplastic" does not refer to a single type of pollutant. There is a large variety of different plastic polymers with different shapes, sizes, and physicochemical properties. Differences in such properties result in varying particle behavior in the environment. Therefore, establishing a scientific method suitable for studying every possible plastic particle with 100% accuracy is very difficult. Moreover, microplastics interact with (bio)chemicals in the environment. This interaction may give rise to other properties that possibly hamper analyses. Furthermore, studying microplastics becomes increasingly more difficult when they are heterogeneously distributed in a medium like soils or sediments. Although certain methodologies are accepted as integral to microplastic studies (such as extraction, purification, and physical and chemical characterization), researchers are cautioned to mention that a standard scientific method to monitor these pollutants, similar to other contaminants, is not yet established.
Best of luck.

Dear all, I would like to report a fake conference and predatory behavior.
I received several emails from committee@eu.esmed.net , asking to join a conference https://esmed.org/conferences/2022assembly/.
However when I asked for a name I received a named as Dr. M Osman, no first name nor researcher information. I asked for a phone call, and received the email below saying it would be difficult. Asking further, I was asked to join and pay for the conference.
I did not pushed my interaction further, as I first checked on the internet about this society. As I feared, it is a scam attempt. Some people have lost money in the process, as reported in the website below, so be please careful.
I reported my interaction to the human ressource department of my research institutions, as I fear other researchers may be targeted.
However, would you know if, our research institutions or us as individual scientists, have any way of eventually take legal action against such unknown / shabby organization ?
Here is an exemple of the mail I received
Dear Dr. Germond,
Thank you for your email. I am Dr. M Osman. I have served on the ESMED advisory board for several months and am helping with organizing the sessions.

Hello, my research is about urban resilience.
I would be happy to cooperate with other researchers in this field of urban resilience.
Relevant answer
Answer
In the words of conventional wisdom, urban resilience is "the quantifiable capacity of any urban system, with its inhabitants, to maintain continuity through all shocks and stresses, while positively adapting and transforming towards sustainability." Cities with greater resilience are better able to protect their economic achievements, enhance the quality of life for their citizens, and foster positive change. Urban resilience has become a rising issue in city planning in recent years, partly because it can be used to describe shifts that affect the structure and function of urban areas. Despite the fact that there are different methods to describe urban resilience, it no longer merely refers to how quickly a city's systems recover from a shock. Understanding the processes and resources that support building is therefore necessary.

A hybrid energy source-based BLDC (Brushless DC) motor drive can be an efficient solution for electric vehicle applications. In this type of system, multiple energy sources are used to power the BLDC motor, which provides better efficiency and performance.
The most common hybrid energy source-based BLDC motor drives use a combination of a battery and an ultracapacitor as energy sources. The battery provides a stable and continuous power supply to the motor, while the ultracapacitor provides short bursts of high-power energy. This combination allows the motor to achieve better acceleration, regenerative braking, and overall efficiency.
The control system of the hybrid energy source-based BLDC motor drive is crucial to achieving optimal performance. The system must be able to monitor and manage the energy flow between the battery and ultracapacitor, as well as control the speed and torque of the motor.
Overall, a hybrid energy source-based BLDC motor drive is an efficient and reliable solution for electric vehicle applications, providing improved performance and reduced energy consumption.

Question

I have ordinal data on happiness of citizens from multiple countries (from the European Value Study) and I have continuous data on the GDP per capita of multiple countries from the World Bank. Both of these variables are measured at multiple time points.
I want to test the hypothesis that countries with a low GDP per capita will see more of an increase in happiness with an increase in GDP per capita than countries that already have a high GDP per capita.
My first thought to approach this is that I need to make two groups; 1) countries with low GDP per capita, 2) countries with high GDP per capita. Then, for both groups I need to calculate the correlation between (change in) happiness and (change in) GDP per capita. Lastly, I need to compare the two correlations to check for a significant difference.
I am stuck however on how to approach the correlation analysis. For example, I dont know how to (and if I even have to) include the repeated measures of the different time points the data was collected. If I just base my correlations on one timepoint the data was measured, I feel like I am not really testing my research question, considering I am talking about an increase in happiness and an increase in GDP, which is a change over time.
If anyone has any suggestions on the right approach, I would be very thankful! Maybe I am overcomplicating it (wouldnt be the first time)!

I would like to prepare n-methylimidazole in the lab., I did find a clear protocol for that and I am happy if anybody can send me a protocol and video for teaching how.
Relevant answer
Answer
N-methylimidazole is an organic compound that can be synthesized in the laboratory using a simple procedure. Here are the steps involved in the synthesis of N-methylimidazole:
Materials and tools needed:
  • Imidazole
  • Methyl iodide
  • Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
  • Ethanol
  • Round-bottom flask
  • Condenser
  • Separatory funnel
  • Drying agent (e.g. magnesium sulfate or sodium sulfate)
  • Vacuum filtration apparatus
Procedure:
  1. In a round-bottom flask, dissolve 5 g of imidazole in 100 mL of ethanol.
  2. Add 8 g of sodium hydroxide to the flask and stir until the sodium hydroxide dissolves.
  3. Add 10 mL of methyl iodide to the flask and stir the mixture for 2-3 hours at room temperature.
  4. After the reaction is complete, transfer the mixture to a separatory funnel and add water to the funnel.
  5. Separate the organic layer containing the N-methylimidazole from the aqueous layer and transfer it to a clean round-bottom flask.
  6. Add a drying agent (e.g. magnesium sulfate or sodium sulfate) to the flask to remove any remaining water.
  7. Filter the mixture through a vacuum filtration apparatus to obtain the solid N-methylimidazole.
  8. Recrystallize the N-methylimidazole from ethanol to obtain pure crystals.
Note: Methyl iodide is a hazardous chemical and should be handled with care. The reaction should be carried out in a fume hood with appropriate personal protective equipment.
Overall, the synthesis of N-methylimidazole requires basic laboratory equipment and common reagents, making it a relatively straightforward procedure for those with experience in organic chemistry.

Regarding MATLAB coding in particular using the bode(sys) code to get the bode diagram. When the numerator equals just a number like (10) without (S), there is an error in computing the bode magnitude because computing it as a 20log(k) “the rule” is not true in MATLAB. Because MATLAB takes into consideration it as log “ln”, not log10.
Please could you tell me how I can solve this issue?
Relevant answer
Answer
You are correct that the bode function in MATLAB uses the natural logarithm (ln) when computing the magnitude of a transfer function, and therefore the "20log(k)" rule does not apply. To solve this issue, you can simply convert your transfer function to a different representation before using the bode function. One way to do this is to use the logspace function to convert the transfer function's numerator to a decibel scale. Here is an example of how you can use this function to plot the Bode diagram of a transfer function with a numerator of 10:
num = 10;
den = [1 5];
sys = tf(num, den);
w = logspace(-1, 2, 1000);
[mag, phase] = bode(sys, w);
semilogx(w, 20*log10(mag), 'b');
this will plot the magnitude of the transfer function on a decibel scale using the semilogx function. The 20*log10(mag) will convert the magnitude to a decibel scale.
Another way to do this is to use the db function to convert the transfer function's numerator from a linear scale to a decibel scale before using the bode function.
num = 10;
den = [1 5];
sys = tf(db(num), den);
w = logspace(-1, 2, 1000);
[mag, phase] = bode(sys, w);
semilogx(w, mag, 'b');
This will plot the magnitude of the transfer function on a decibel scale using the semilogx function. The db function will convert the numerator from a linear scale to a decibel scale.
Either of these methods will give you a Bode diagram that correctly represents the magnitude of the transfer function in decibels.
It's worth noting that, by default, the bode function in MATLAB uses the rad/s as frequency unit, so if you want to use other units, such as Hz, you need to convert the frequency accordingly.

Hi guys, recently I probed some cell lysates with p110a antibody and found two clear bands. One is expected at 110 and another one is around 170. Has anyone observed similar results? curious what the second band is. Happy to hear your thoughts!
Relevant answer
Answer
I don't know the kit or reagent supplier you are using, and I assume p110a is the p110alfa antibody, but typically for the alpha antibody you only see 1 band. But interestingly, a company called Bioss USA shows a gel with 2 bands at 114 and 120 (not 110 and/or 170), however the figure indicates this is p110beta antibody. I am not sure how likely you got the wrong p110 antibody is, but it might be worth investigating. Link to Bioss USA figure: https://www.biossusa.com/products/bs-6417r As does VWR (link: https://pr.vwr.com/store/product/17146660/anti-p110b-rabbit-polyclonal-antibody). A paper by Matheny and Adamo shows what appears to be the same 2 bands with p110beta antibody (Matheny and Adamo, Cell Death & Differentiation 17:677–688 (2010). But other p100beta suppliers show only 1 band.
Also Labome has a Validated Antibody Database (VAD) for p110, checkout the references listed in the database to see if this or a similar phenomenon has been reported. Link to the p110 VAD is: https://www.labome.com/review/gene/human/p110-antibody.html
Finally, the p110 proteins are PI3K Class 1A gene products, there is a Class II PI3K gene PIK3C2G that codes for a PI3K protein (PIK-C2gamma) with a MW of 166 kd.
I hope this helps track down an answer to what the ~170 band might be.
With Warm Regards,

Lockdowns due to the COVID pandemic in last three years (2020-22) has played a significant role in the widespread of online based classrooms using applications like Zoom, MS teams, Webex and Google Meet. While substantial amount of the students were happy to complete their semester classes in due time without getting hampered by the lockdowns, thanks to the online based classrooms, there are also notable amount of students and parents who were complained regarding the online based classrooms that they have drastically distracted the academic performance of students.
Overall, I would like to leave it as an open-ended question. Dear researchers, what you think regarding the online based classroom? Is it an advantage for students or a disadvantage?
Relevant answer
Answer
Online-based classrooms are necessary for circumstances where the learners and teachers feel that the knowledge can be catered to without meeting in person. It is an opportunity for learners to learn at their doorsteps. Nonetheless, online classes are not as effective as offline classes for many learners who take education as a social process where peer learning, group dynamics, and interpersonal relationship are of high importance. Online class doesn't provide the experience of personal interaction while learning.

Dear Colleagues.
I was able to resuscitate an old ELISA Reader in my lab. The machine is now working fine. However, I could not locate the user manual and the associated software CD.
GDV was an italian company that manufactured ELISA Readers. This unit was purchased in 2001. As a student, I used it and I was happy with the machine and results.
Since, the lab cannot afford buying a new one. Therefore, I went to see the issue with the old GDV-microplate reader.
I was able to fix it (or to be honest, I tightened the screws and greased the belt and motors. Its now working fine.
However, a manual is needed to see the details of various options.

I am going to conduct interview with Kazakh diapora members in Turkkey to identify their perception of homeland and discuss their identity-related issues. I would be happy to get any ideas and suggestions.
Relevant answer
Answer
I suggest that the best guide to interviewing is listening!
Talk with potential participants, engage with them. And, most important, listen to what they consider the important things that they would like people to know and appreciate about them. Co-create the interview schedule with your population of interest. In doing this, you are following the principle of distributional justice, which states that the benefits (and risks) of research must be equally shared between researcher and participants.
There is a tendency to believe that we can define what is important on behalf of a group of people, and draw up a questionnaire or interview to measure it. This is not a good ethical model. Find out the needs of your group of interest, and design your research to align with these. As a practical consequence, your interview will come across as understanding, caring and important. This encourages participation, which helps to ensure that your conclusions are less likely to suffer from non-response bias.
And have fun. Drop the idea that it's your responsibility to know what to ask. It's your responsibility to find that out. And people will be happy to help.

Good morning,
Regarding Park transformation I note Matlab specifies by default q-axis aligned with a-axis and hence sinus-based transformation. I have the problem that many research I have reviewed is based on cosinus-based.
Would you kindly advice which of them is preferable in your opinion.
How could I "translate" the expression from one ref frame to another in order to make my calculations consistent?
Thanks in advance and Happy NY2K20!
Juan Cabeza
Relevant answer
Answer
Although it has been a long time since you have posed the question, I would like to give some comments regarding the two different transformations you mentioned, both because I did not find any electric machinery-based response to your question and also due to the confusion which usually arises when writing machine formulations, simulating the equations, etc.
The different versions of Park transformation (better to be called Blondel-Park transformation ans Blondel had proposed these concepts before Park had born), may be due to discrepancies in these factors:
1) d-axis leading or lagging the q-axis (this expression itself has to be clarified; by leading or lagging, we are taking the rotor rotational speed as the positive direction). The common practice is taking q-axis leading d-axis in the rotor direction. The rotor direction is usually taken positive in anti-clockwise direction.
2) transformation being power invariant or amplitude invariant. The common practice today is using the amplitude invariant transformation. I could explain it in more detail in case some one is eager to.
3) supposing the q-axis to be aligned with the a-phase axis or supposing d-axis to be aligned with the a-phase axis at time zero (t=0). Another way to express this is we can either take the transformation angle to be the angle of q-axis w.r.t a-phase axis or take the transformation angle to be the angle of d-axis w.r.t a-phase axis. The former is the sine-based transformation used by Prof. Krause et.al. is their very valuable and informative book on analysis of electric machinery. The latter is the cosine-based transformation which many Europeans use. It seems to me make better sense to take angle as that of d-axis (not q-axis) w.r.t the a-axis as it will be the angle of the field winding w.r.t armature phase-a winding in the synchronous generator analysis.
4) as the last factor which yields different transformation matrices in the literature, please consider whether the d-axis equations are written first (then you will be facing dq0 variables) or q-axis equations are written first (then you will be facing qd0 variables, the adopted practice by Prof. Krause in his valuable book).
I hope this helps

Here are some reasons that I can think of:
1. the cells were actually dead at the beginning... (but I can see cell growth)
2. the trypsin incubation time was 10-20 mins (maybe the trypsin kills them)
3. maybe the cells not attaching...

Historically I have used absolute cover data or transformed absolute cover data when running NMDS analyses for comparing plant communities. I was recently encouraged to relativize the cover data (so cover among all quadrats equals 100 % ) prior to performing NMDS/ PERMANOVA. From my general comparisons looking at the NMDS solutions generated and PERMANOVA post hoc outputs, I get near identical results (Pseudo-F and p-values change very slightly) no matter if the data are relativized or not. Could someone please chime in here if there are advantages of using relativized cover data for running NMDS/ PERMANOVA as an alternative over raw absolute cover. Relativizing to 100% wasn't how I was taught, but I'm happy to change my ways if there's reason to do so.
Relevant answer
Answer
I don't think it's normal or needed to "relativize" cover values. The ratio of one species' cover value to another doesn't change in the process and so importance values in NMDS should not change. Plus the total of all the species cover values can be well over 100% since there are different leaf layers, so it doesn't make biological sense either.

You could contact psychologists, even psychology students (from your institution or other institutions) who are good at psychometrics, statistics, and methodology. Of course, you can learn about the validation procedures on your own, however, an interdisciplinary team (e.g. you, an economist or student of economics, psychologist/student of psychology...) seems to be the best option for implementing your little project. The first phase of your research could be an initial validation with a sample of a smaller size. Later, you can validate it with larger samples from several institutions/companies.

How can one estimate the quantity of water that can be recovered from a wastewater treatment plant?
Many utilities in cities are nowadays exploring how to reuse water (treated effluent) from their treatment plants for potable and non-potable purposes. I am wondering if there is any research or studies that look into how to estimate the quantity water that can be obtained from such water reuse initiatives. Of course I understand that any calculations would include aspects like evaporation, potential leakages within the treatment plant as well as any portion of water that is not recoverable. I would happy to have anyone point me to any relevant studies they have encountered on these issues.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Daniel,
I think perhaps the main question prior to making such an assessment is what the use of the recycled water is. Additionally, what type of treatment steps are done in the current form? In many cases, the WWTP effluent is (at least) as 'clean' as typical surface water, which can be used as an input for making drinking water.
When you mean water available for reuse, do you mean compared to the initial consumption, i.e. what the losses are starting from the distribution of the water and it's flow back to the treatment plant, or just during the treatment processes? Is there data available or do you want to induce losses a priori?
