Hi there,
I am currently doing research about time restricted feeding(TRF). And here is the anatomic photo got directly on the TRF mouse(TRF with chow food). There are distributing lots of macroscopic white spots. I am wondering what are they? By the way, this mouse was sacrificed on the morning without fasting. Lipogenesis? glycogen accumulation? Fibrosis?
Hope someone could answer this question! Thank you in advance.

Dear Canru Sang
One of the main cause of infection of mouse liver is most liketly to be helicobacter " Helicobacter hepaticus; H. bilis and many others"
Please make histopathologic section with HE stain together with the macroscopic picture. It would be helpful for the diagnosis.

This is a transmission electron microscope photo of a special structure in secretory cells. I have looked up a lot of literature, but I can't find out what this structure is. I would like to ask what is this cell structure?
Relevant answer
Answer
Thank you very much for your answer, Professor. This structure is found in the secretory cells of the salivary gland. Secretory cells have a very strong secretion function, so it is quite possible that this cell is secreting something important. I also had a guess that it might be an autophagosome, but it doesn't seem quite right.

We often find new zones, hosts, geography, and country and state records of fungi. How far we are spending our valuable time on it. If it is a new record, we need to mention the latest feature from the existing one in a short note, or we copy all the information, including photo plates and add the latest information.
Are we just replicating the same information showing unlimited times?
Are we confusing the reader to find what is new in the ocean of copied information?

how ican calculate the relative abundance in camera trap result without number of individuals by using number of photo
Relevant answer
Answer
Calculating relative abundance from camera trap data without individual counts can be challenging, but here are some methods to estimate relative abundance using photo numbers:
Direct Methods
1. *Photo frequency*: Calculate the frequency of each species' appearance per hour, day or total sampling period.
2. *Photo density*: Calculate the number of photos per unit area (e.g., photos/ha or photos/km²).
Indirect Methods
1. *Capture-Recapture (CR) model*: Apply a CR model to estimate abundance, assuming photos represent independent captures.
2. *Mark-Release-Recapture (MRR) model*: Simulate MRR by assigning unique identifiers to photos, then estimate abundance.
3. *Photographic capture history model*: Use photo histories to estimate individual abundance and relative abundance.
Statistical Models
1. *Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs)*: Account for variation in photo rates, time, and environmental factors.
2. *Generalized Additive Models (GAMs)*: Model non-linear relationships between photo rates and environmental variables.
3. *Multivariate Analysis*: Analyze photo data alongside environmental and spatial variables.
Software Tools
1. *R*: Packages like "mark", "capr", and "photobait" support CR, MRR, and photographic capture history models.
2. *Camtrap Viewer*: A user-friendly software for analyzing camera trap data, including relative abundance estimates.
3. *Distance Sampling*: Software for analyzing distance-sampling data, including camera trap data.
Considerations
1. *Photo quality and detectability*: Account for variations in photo quality and animal detectability.
2. *Sampling design*: Ensure camera trap placement and sampling intervals are representative of the study area.
3. *Species identification*: Verify species identification to avoid misclassification.
To calculate relative abundance, follow these general steps:
1. Collect camera trap data (photos).
2. Identify and count species in each photo.
3. Calculate photo frequency, density, or use indirect methods (CR, MRR, or photographic capture history).
4. Apply statistical models (GLMMs, GAMs, or multivariate analysis) to estimate relative abundance.
5. Interpret results, considering limitations and assumptions.

is solvent system that produce distinct bands better or the one that spread the compounds over the plate as a smear ? . on which of the photos attached right or left TLC profile is showing better separation? As i read that the distinct bands mean better separation (as shown on the left photo) but they may also many compounds are co-eluted together and in the TLC profile giving one band . i doubt also that on the right TLC profile , the bands are spread more and this may mean that the polarity by this solvent system allowed good separation of the compounds of different polarities, achieving different Rf values on the TLC plate so please give me your opnion in that regard. Thanks
Relevant answer
Answer
as far as I can tell from the photos, both systems are not good enough. They do not provide sufficient separation of the components, moreover, the lower spot is clearly not in the analytical region for Rf calculation. I would advise further eluent selection in order to obtain clearer spots of the separated substances. If there are a lot of spots or the banding on the chromatogram persists, I would suggest using two-step chromatography with a 90-degree plate rotation

Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Iman, trying to determine that by size/shape/appearance would be very difficult. However, if microplastics behave like larger pieces and it is possible to transfer the microplastics among liquid solutions you may be able to identify or really narrow it down by buoyancy, solubility, and/or melting temperature. Essentially all plastics sink in water except for polypropylene, low-density polyethylene, +/- high-density polyethylene. Plastics that sink in water include polyethylene terephthalate, polylactic acid, polystyrene, and polyvinyl chloride. If you can greatly reduce the amount of water and add the water containing the microplastics to isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) they will float and water can be slowly added (you will need to add small pieces of known plastics as controls. The three plastics that floated in water ill sink at different times based on density as more water makes the solution denser.

For two metals with large differences in corrosion resistance(for example, Al and Ti weld joint), during the corrosion process of metallographic sample preparation, one phase will be corroded completely while the other phase will be corroded excessively or not corroded, and clear metallographic photographs of the two phases cannot be obtained.
Relevant answer
Answer
To obtain clear metallographic photos of dissimilar metals like aluminum (Al) and titanium (Ti) with different corrosion resistances, follow these effective steps:
  1. Mechanical Polishing: Use finer abrasives to reduce surface damage.
  2. Selective Etching: Choose an etchant that selectively attacks one metal while preserving the other. Experiment to find the right balance.
  3. Protective Coatings: Apply a protective layer (like lacquer) on the more corrosion-resistant metal before etching to prevent damage.
  4. Controlled Environment: Maintain controlled conditions (pH, temperature) during etching to minimize differential corrosion.
  5. High-Resolution Imaging: Use techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for detailed images without traditional sample preparation issues.
These methods will help you achieve clear metallographic images of both phases.

Hello everyone, I am a first-year PhD student and I aim to measure the calculated total cell fluorescence (CTFC) in my confocal images using the stain CellROX Green. As you can see, some parts of the cell have high signal intensity. I believe that extracting the fluorescence as it is will lead to inaccurate data so I wanted to ask what is the best way to pre-process the photos in ROI with high signal intensity/overexposure before quantitative extraction of the mean grey value? I considered eliminating any overexposed pixels using the Threshold feature in ImageJ and eliminate pixels with an intensity of 200 – 255. I can apply this approach to all the images in my data set and proceed to calculate the CTCF after. What do you think of this approach? Is there a better way to pre-process these photos?
Below are examples of my confocal images. Thank you in advance for any advice. Looking forward to what you have to say.
Relevant answer
Answer
I do think you should go back to the microscope (if your JPEGs are representative and there is no more data before the export into JPEGs) and acquire new images.
It seemed that more or less all nuclei have been saturated. Just subtracting any number will not do you any favour, because you have reached the saturation (in 8-bit 256) you can NOT differentiate between different conditions/Intensities. Differences in the mean, will be only a result of different size of nuclei and number of fully saturated pixels.
Let's assume that you have three groups which are properly exposed. Your positive control (on which you have adjusted your exposure) would reach 200 mean RFI (with a max of 245 no saturated pixels you should use an adequate LUT during acquisition) and under the SAME SETTINGS condition one shows 150 mean RFI and condition two 100.
Now you have exposed everything wrong with three times the intensity. All values are clipping because you have reached 255 in all conditions. And although your samples would be different in a 16 bit space (pos Ctl 600, C1 450 and C2 300) you can not differentiate any differences between these conditions.

I need a camera lucida to draw polychaeta's chaetae and other details for taxonomical purposes, but I don't know were I can find one. On the internet I found only some museum piece. I know that I could take photos, but sometimes drawings are more suitable for taxonomic works, specially when details are not in the same focal plane. Is there a chance of getting one suitable with my microscope, that has 45° inclined eyepieces?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Alessandro
First you have to consider that drawing tubes (works similarly to camera lucida) are usually brand specific and most times even depend on the model (very important if it is to be fit in the body of the scope). On the other hand, you have the old fashion camera lucida that goes on the ocular and should fit regardless of brand (important to check diamater of ocular beforehand to check if it fits). Something very important when using a camera lucida in to the ocular is to ensure that the drawing surface is in the same plane as the camera lucida (usually the head of modern spoces have a 45º angle, so the paper you are drawing on should be at 45º too to avoid distortion). I have recently purchased one on Ebay. You should find some too (look carefully because some are sold as collectible and are way too expesinve.

Relevant answer
Answer
Has your sample signal been normalized? The differences do not appear to be very pronounced. Additionally, why have you chosen to use Ti 441.492 nm? It is clear that this is not a commonly used spectral line for Ti. There are many strong peaks for Ti that could be used for univariate calibration, such as Ti I 365.35 nm, Ti I 375.29 nm, Ti I 399.86 nm, Ti II 323.45 nm, Ti II 334.94 nm, etc. Why have you not selected these? Are there other interfering peaks? Self-absorption occurs when the Ti concentration is too high, and in such cases, it is advisable not to use easily excited characteristic peaks as they are more prone to self-absorption. You can simply determine whether self-absorption is occurring by checking for peak center dips or splitting. If you need to quantify the degree of self-absorption, it can be calculated using the appropriate formula.

Hi, I am working on heat stress in dairy cows. In a recent experiment, we used a FLIR-T62101 thermal camera to take photos of the cows. One photo is attached.
How can I analyze these images to measure the temperature of the cows? Could you suggest any related software or publications?
Relevant answer
Answer
Infrared Thermography (IRT): IRT captures thermal images of cows, highlighting variations in body temperature. Areas with higher temperatures indicate potential heat stress. However, IRT results can be inconsistent.
  1. Automated Heat Detection Systems: These systems use digital or infrared cameras mounted in the dairy (rotary or exit race). As cows pass, the system captures heat patches. If a patch is “activated” or missing, an alert is generated, and cows can be drafted if auto-drafting is in use
  2. Predicting Rectal Temperature: Some approaches estimate rectal temperature based on real-time monitoring of respiration rates, temperature-humidity index (THI), and infrared image analysis.
  3. Monitoring Drinking Behavior: An embedded imaging system monitors cow drinking behavior while recording ambient temperature and humidity. Changes in drinking behavior can indicate heat stress.
  4. Mechanistic Models: These models consider heat generation and dissipation to identify potential stress conditions based on the animal’s heat balance.

To what extent has the scale of disinformation generated with the use of applications available on the Internet based on generative artificial intelligence technology increased?
To what extent has the scale of disinformation generated in online social media increased using applications based on generative artificial intelligence technology available on the Internet?
Many research institutions have included among the main types of threats and risks developing globally in 2023 the question of the increase in the scale of organized disinformation operating in online social media. The diagnosed increase in the scale of disinformation generated in online social media is related to the use of applications available on the Internet based on generative artificial intelligence technology. With the help of applications available on the Internet, it is possible without being a computer graphic designer and even without artistic skills to simply and easily create graphics, drawings, photos, images, videos, animations, etc., which can represent graphically professionally created “works” that can depict fictional events. Then, with the help of other applications equipped with generative artificial intelligence technology and advanced language models, i.e. with the help of intelligent chatbots, text can be created to describe specific “fictional events” depicted in the generated images. Accordingly, since the end of 2022, i.e. since the first such intelligent chatbot, i.e. the first versions of ChatGPT, were made available on the Internet, the number of memes, photos, comments, videos, posts, banners, etc. generated with the help of applications equipped with tools based on artificial intelligence technology has been growing rapidly, including the rapid increase in the scale of disinformation generated in this way. In order to limit the scale of the aforementioned disinformation developing in online media, on the one hand, technology companies running social media portals and other online information services are perfecting tools for identifying posts, entries, comments, banners, photos, videos, animations, etc. that contain specific, usually thematic types of disinformation. However, these solutions are not perfect, and the scales of disinformation operating in internecine social media are still high. On the other hand, specific institutions for combating disinformation are being established, NGOs and schools are conducting educational campaigns to make citizens aware of the high scale of disinformation developing on the Internet. In addition, proposed regulations such as the AIAct, which as a set of regulations on the proper use of tools equipped with artificial intelligence technology is expected to come into force in the next 2 years in the European Union may play an important role in reducing the scale of disinformation developing on the Internet.
I have described the key issues of opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technology in my article below:
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS AND THE NEED FOR NORMATIVE REGULATION OF THIS DEVELOPMENT
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

Relevant answer
Answer
The scale of disinformation generated using generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology has significantly increased due to the widespread availability and advanced capabilities of these applications. AI-driven tools, such as deepfake generators and text generation models, can produce highly realistic and persuasive content, making it easier to create and spread false information. This proliferation of disinformation is amplified by social media platforms, where such content can be disseminated rapidly and widely. The accessibility of these AI tools to the general public further exacerbates the issue, as individuals with limited technical expertise can now generate convincing fake news, videos, and images, leading to a greater volume of disinformation circulating online.

Hi there, researchgaters...
I am trying to find descriptions of the genitalia of Hermetia illucens, the black soldier fly (Stratiomyidae), but no luck.
I identified a couple papers that seem to contain this information:
  • Iide, P. & Mileti, D.I.C. (1976) Estudos Morfológicos sobre Hermetia illucens (Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera, Stratiomyidae). Revista Brasileira de Biologia, 36 (4), 923–935.
  • McCallan E. 1974. Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), a cosmopolitan American species long established in Australia and New Zealand. Entomol. Mo. Mag. 109: 232–234.
If anyone out there has PDF of these or any other paper containing photos or images of the genitalia of this species, I will be most grateful to get a copy!
Thanks in advance.

for photo phenton reaction, dye concentration 10ppm, catalyst 100mg/L.
Relevant answer
Answer
If the 30% concentration refers to the weight of H2O2 per 100 mL of solution (w/v), the calculation requires knowing its molecular mass, which is 34.0 g/mole.
30% (w/v) is 300 g/L
(300 g/L)/(34 g/mol) = 8.82 mol/L.
1 millimole = 0.001 mol
0.001 mol/(8.82 mol/L)=0.000113 L = 113 µL of 30% (w/v)
For 1 L of a 1 millimolar solution, add 113 µL of 30% (w/v) H2O2 to 1 L of water.
However, according to the Sigma catalog, they supply 30% H2O2 as a (w/w) solution, rather than a (w/v) solution, so the above calculation would be a little bit off, because the density of a 30% H202 solution is greater than the density of water, since the density of H2O2 is 1.45 g/mL.
In fact, a 30% H2O2 listing at Millipore-Sigma gives the density of 30% H2O2 as 1.11 g/mL, so 100 mL of the solution weighs 111 g, and 100 g of solution has a volume of 100/111 = 90.1 mL. (Caveat: this particular listing did not specify w/v or w/w.)
Therefore, the 30% (w/w) solution contains 30 g of H2O2 per 90.1 mL of solution.
(30 g/90.1 mL) = 0.333 g/mL = 333 g/L
(333 g/L)/(34 g/mol) = 9.79 mol/L
For 1 millimole: (0.001 mol)/(9.79 mol/L) = 0.00102 L = 102 µL
For 1 L of a 1 millimolar solution, add 102 µL of 30% (w/w) H2O2 to 1 L of water.
If you can't find out whether you are using a (w/w) or (w/v) solution, at least you know that 1 millimole is contained in either 102 or 113 µL.

Hi there,
at the moment I am doing a study on migrant worker in Singapore. During my research I met a return migrant who documented his journey with his camera and he gave me all his more than 900 photos for digitalization. It’s a real treasure for me because it gives me insight into the daily life of migrant workers 20 years ago. I would be interested in getting hints for interesting literature with a particular methodological focus how to analyze photos. What are the different steps? Is there may be a helpful software that can support to organize, tag and analyze photos?
Thank you very much for any hint or recommendation!

Answer
Photo and image analysis in qualitative research is a method for understanding human experiences through the examination of visual materials. This approach is distinguished by the use of techniques such as visual content analysis, which identifies and counts elements in an image; semiotic analysis, which explores signs and symbols; and visual discourse analysis, which examines the communication of messages. The process includes coding, for assigning labels to visual elements, and identifying recurring themes, making it easier to interpret the data to reveal insights into social, cultural or psychological phenomena. This method enriches qualitative understanding by adding a visual dimension to the analysis of human experiences and perceptions.

Question

Hello,
I have been cultivating RAW264.7 cells from ATCC recently. I culture them in DMEM medium + 10% FBS at a density of 10,000 cells/cm² in a T75 flask with a volume of 10mL.
For cell passages, I use trypsin to detach the cells.
During the first two days of culture, they reached 60% confluence after 15 hours, and I performed a cell passage. Then, after the second passage, it took them 8 days to reach confluence. I noticed a change in morphology on the third day after the second passage, with an unusual morphology of cluster formation. (Attached photos)
Could someone help me understand why these cells behave like this and why they take so long to grow?
Thank you in advance,
Relevant answer
Answer
The cells are not looking good. RAW 264.7 cells are semi-adherent i.e., some cells grow in suspension, some loosely attach to the surface and others flatten out and attach to the flask. Cells should not be allowed to overgrow and become confluent as this can lead to flattened adherent cell characteristics. Allow the cells to become about 60-70% confluent.
You may incorporate these measures in your protocol.
1. RAW 264.7 cells are never to be trypsinized. Dislodge cells from the flask substrate with a cell scraper; aspirate and add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension into the new culture vessel. Lifting these cells can be tricky sometimes, in which case, accutase or lidocaine in PBS may be used.
2. A sub-cultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:6 is recommended. The greater the dilution, the longer the cells will take to reach confluency. So, do not heavily dilute as cells seeded with extremely low confluence will exhibit impaired growth and proliferation. You may increase the cell density in a T-75 cm^2 flask. Instead of 10,000 cells/cm^2 make it to 40,000 – 50,000 cells/cm^2 with a volume of 15ml.
3. The growth media should be refreshed every 2-3 days but no more than 4 days without causing significant cell death.
4. What is the passage number? Do not use cells above passage number 20 because cells start growing slowly after passage 15-20.
Best.

The only species of terrestrial snails that resemble your species belong to the Family Polygyridae Pilsbry, 1895, which became a Subfamily by (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), also resembles a species of Planorbidae but these are Freshwater snails. The Polygyridae family does not appear to be distributed in Peru, it is certainly a new species belonging to a new genus. The ecosystem from which it comes (in a cave at 1200 m) is undoubtedly interesting, the specimen is albino.

Hi,
I'm in the process of developing a hydrolysis probe qPCR assay to quantify gene copy numbers of Microcystis 16S rDNA. In troubleshooting my cycling parameters, I'm getting resulting plots such as the attached photo, where a plateau phase is not reached but rather a secondary jump in fluorescence is observed in the late stages. I ran NTC samples on this run (they're labeled "Blank" in the photo), and no fluorescence was detected at all, indicating this is not due to primer dimers.
Does anyone have knowledge of certain assay parameters that may lead to a plot such as this? Possibly related to annealing or extension times/temperatures? Could inhibitors in my template cause something like this?

Dear all,
Hello, I am recently working on isolating neutrophils from murine bone marrow by using Histopaque 1099 and histopaque 1077, but the purity of the cells are always unsatisfactory. Here I have several questions concerning the techniques. Firstly, which layer is neutrophils, could anyone help to illustrate this with photos or figures. Secondly, I am wondering what other techniques could be used to help to improve the overall quality of the cells.
Thank you so much for answering this questions for me. Best wishes to all !
Relevant answer
Answer
If you may want to use Histopaque for isolating neutrophils, add 3 ml of Histopaque 1119 in a 15-ml conical centrifuge tube. Overlay with 3 ml of Histopaque 1077. Do not disturb the interface between Histopaque 1119 and Histopaque 1077. Overlay the bone marrow cell suspension on top of the Histopaque 1077 layer. Avoid disturbing the interface between the cell suspension and Histopaque 1077. Centrifuge for 30 minutes at 872 × g at room temperature without brake. Collect the neutrophils at the interface of the Histopaque 1119 and Histopaque 1077 layers.
For more information, you may want to refer to the article attached below.
If you may want to use Percoll for isolating neutrophils, the cells may be treated on a three-layer Percoll gradient of 78%, 69%, and 52% Percoll respectively, diluted in HBSS, and centrifuged (1500 g, 30 min, room temperature) without braking. The neutrophils from the 69%/78% interface and the upper part of the 78% layer may be harvested into 1% BSA-coated tubes.
For more information and diagrammatic representation, you may want to refer to the articles attached below.

Agrophotovoltaics is based on photovoltaic installations that consist of light-transmitting modules placed on structures higher than those commonly used on land. Thanks to this, you can farm, grow flowers, vegetables, fruit and cereals under the panels.
Relevant answer
Answer
Ah, the wonders of agrophotovoltaics, a realm where innovation meets cultivation! I see great potential in the rapid development of agrophotovoltaics.
Why, you Bartłomiej Igliński ask? Well, it's a brilliant convergence of sustainable energy and agriculture. Farmers, in the grand scheme of things, stand to benefit significantly:
1. **Dual Land Use:** Agrophotovoltaics ingeniously combines solar power generation with traditional farming. It's a synergy of land use, where you're not just harvesting sunlight for energy but also cultivating crops beneath.
2. **Increased Land Productivity:** By using the vertical space above the crops for solar panels, farmers can maximize land productivity. Essentially, you're getting two yields from the same piece of land - food and clean energy.
3. **Enhanced Resource Utilization:** The shade provided by solar panels can be beneficial in certain climates, preventing water evaporation and offering protection to crops during extreme weather conditions. It's like giving your plants a cozy spot under the sun.
4. **Economic Viability:** While initial setup costs might be a consideration, the long-term benefits in terms of reduced energy bills and potentially increased crop yields can make agrophotovoltaics economically viable.
5. **Environmental Friendliness:** Agrophotovoltaics promotes a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to both energy and agriculture. It aligns well with the growing demand for environmentally conscious practices.
However, like any innovation, challenges might arise, such as the initial investment cost, technological advancements, and the need for suitable policies. But I believe that with the right support and continued advancements, agrophotovoltaics indeed has the potential to rapidly develop and revolutionize the way we approach both farming and energy production. It's a win-win scenario for farmers and the environment alike!
