What is the probability that people can learn applied mathematics by noticing the mathematical and other senses of vocabulary? Why? How? My answer: high probability because many terms that are used in their sense outside of stereotypical and or pure mathematics are still applicable to the applied mathematical sense. Such as differentiate, integrate, etc.

Answer
The probability of people learning applied mathematics by noticing the mathematical senses of vocabulary is high. This is because many terms used in applied mathematics have broader applications beyond stereotypical or pure mathematics. For instance, words like "differentiate" and "integrate" are not only used in mathematical contexts but also find relevance in various real-world scenarios. The familiarity with these terms in everyday language can serve as a bridge for individuals to comprehend their mathematical significance, facilitating a smoother learning process. Additionally, recognizing the practical applications of mathematical concepts in different contexts can enhance understanding and retention, making it more likely for people to grasp applied mathematics through the connection with familiar vocabulary.

Observe how even today linguistic empiricism via direct denotative reference and sense, via linguistic-analytic philosophies, reigns supreme in philosophy. It is superfluous here to cite how Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, the Vienna Circle, etc. have used the merely directly denotative sense to define sense, reference, proposition, truth value, and so forth.
The natural but extreme consequence from the Frege-Wittgenstein tendency is linguistic idealism, whereby somehow language and – for them consequently – even logic and mathematics (!) are made not only to define but also to determine the world. Berkeley would have done it better!
Justifiably enough from the necessary nature of derivation of linguistic idealism from direct linguistic and logical denotation, Richard Gaskin, a philosopher of language, aesthetics, and literature, has come upon this conclusion – presumably determined also by the necessity to bring aesthetic and literary worlds under the aegis of linguistic use and produce a language philosophy of aesthetic and literary experience.
But this motive would not suffice to posit linguistic idealism as a philosophical solution.

Experience is the food of the mind.
Research and observation is the existence of the universe.
Nothing is out there without the observer.
Fine if the universe exists without the observer. For whom does it exist? You can't cut the universe off from the observer. After all, that's why we're here, for the universe to exist. This universe out there outside our brain doesn't have the form that our brain presents to us. There is no light and colors without the eye, hearing without the ear, taste without the tongue, touch without the body. Outside of our brain there is only frequency energy that without the conversion of frequencies from our brain into something else none of this would exist. Without a brain we can't even perceive energy. We live in a matrix of our senses. We are the very nature of energy, which lives through us.
Okay, let's get to the hard part. Do you at least understand that the world we live in doesn't exist without your senses? So without us how can there be anything imaginary that our brain creates? Fine the frequencies exist, but who do they exist for?
What is it, and where does energy come from; which designs, constructs and moves frequencies molecules atoms everything? Is it God?

Sexologists appear to have lost sight of what science is about. They do not appreciate that before you can research a topic, you must first apply some common sense. There is nothing unscientific about basic facts and logic. Yet no one seems to see their relevance when it comes to understanding sexuality. In any science, the basic terms all need to be defined and understood. Preconceptions and assumptions need to be challenged. Yet sexologists have the same beliefs as the rest of the population.

Je souligne que les sexologues ont ignoré les recherches effectuées sur la réponse sexuelle féminine. Ni la population ni les scientifiques n’ont voulu accepter la vérité : les femmes sont beaucoup moins sensibles sexuellement que les hommes. Tout le monde semble préférer la fiction érotique.

It is very often that practitioners ask this question.
In reality there is not a 'best' method; probably it is better to ask about the 'most appropriate' method.
However, the most important aspect to consider is what the problem or scenario characteristics are, and from there choose the method, that best match them. It is just common sense.
It is easy to understand that a practitioner can apply a certain method
which is for instance the most used. However, if this method can't model a scenario as much close as possible, the result obtained is irrelevant and false, because it will be solving a problem that has no relation with the real scenario.
Based on the bold text, I developed a simple tool that can help the practitioner. It is not guarantee that the selected method replicates in full a certain scenario, but it will give the most close selection, and very important, gives as way to justify that selection
There are two parts labeled 300a and 300b. The first explains the procedure, while the second provides the tool in Excel for the practitioner to work, and without any calculation.
The additional advantage, is that the practitioner can make as many tests as wish, and that the characteristics for each scenario can be saved, and therefore it is easy to see in the future why a certain result was achieved

Kinetosis or motion sickness is mainly caused by a sensory conflict of different senses (e.g., the vestibular information about your movement does not match with the information from your eyes). But can it be caused by conflicting sensory information within one sense? For example, can different auditory information -- like a mismatch of frequencies (and their amplitude) and head related transfer functions -- cause sickness?
Relevant answer
Answer
Given that congenitally blind people get motion sickness, it would suggest a conflict that is both intra-sensory rather and maybe also inter-sensory.
LACKNER, J. R., & GRAYBIEL, A. (1979). Susceptibility to Motion Sickness. Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine.
Notes about the fact that sensory conflict not necessarily needing a visual cue.
I believe there could be a conflict within the inner ear, without need for vision based on signal rates and afferent signal discharge variabilities in the inner ear which are in conflict. Just a thought.

What are some of the different social settings in which second language acquisition can take place? In a general sense, how might research be different in these different settings? What are some problems you might foresee?
Relevant answer
Answer
I totally agree with Mr Ahmad Farid. Yet, acquisition and learning are two different concepts. In contexts like the Middle East where L2 learners are deprived of sufficient exposure to the target language, you cannot expect acquisition to take place or be established. It is just learning! However, thanks to the development of ubiquitous technology, we could confess that L2 learners are bestowed with more exposure in recent years, which may in turn provide a suitable setting for acquisition to take place in upcoming years.

As an adjunct, having interactions - even online - helps to bridge the feeling of connectivity and belonging. I feel my university does this well. Having responsive colleagues helps to make sure I am providing a quality class and gives me a place to ask questions. Without these interactions, I would not enjoy the role as much.

This is the PowerPoint which I used on Saturday, 22nd April 2023 for my intervention at the 4th IACLSC Biennial International Conference-Exhibition, organised by the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities, School of Law, KIIT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, on 21-22 April 2023. The PowerPoint does not contain extended analyses. I am going to write a text on some aspects of the Bhagavad Gita in which I will expose my interpretation. The PowerPoint contains some quotations from and observations on the Katha Upanishad too. A text of mine which investigates the passages of the Katha Upanishad quoted in the PowerPont will be published in some weeks. I am launching this discussion to see whether the participants have observations on the Bhagavad Gita or on the Katha Upanishad. I am deeply interested in the observations since I am still at the beginning of the study of the Bhagavad Gita and of the Katha Upanishad. In the texts which I will publish, I will expose my positions both on the Bhagavad Gita and on the Katha Upanishad. In the present context, my observations are rather limited.
In my inquiry on the Bhagavad Gita, I shall analyse some aspects of the transformation of the individual through and thanks to his process of knowing the structure of reality. Becoming aware of his nature and of his position in the reality is for the individual the first step towards his moral development: for the individual needs and ought to walk the road of becoming aware of his nature in order to be able to know the aspects of his person which he ought to improve and to know the aspects of his persons which he ought to correct. The intervention in the reality of Lord Krishna shows that individuals are morally not always morally self-sufficient; men are limited entities; in them, evil can prevail. The road of knowledge, of meditation and of education is a process of fighting against the evil tendencies of the individual.
I shall begin my inquiry with the description of the three Gunas in chapter XIV: the notions of Sattva, of Tamas and of Rajas, their properties and their influences on the individual will be the first passage of my exposition. Through the investigation on the three Gunas we shall be able to observe that any individual turns out to be a composed entity which, depending on his education, engagement and meditation, can tend to the prevalence of Tamas, or of Rajas or of Sattva: the direction of the individual’s development is, as such, not given; it depends on the characters which the individual decides to cultivate in himself. The responsibility of the development, therefore, is due to the individual. As we shall be able to see thanks to the Discourses, the road to intellectual and moral development is not easy: it is, on the contrary, long, complex and difficult.
The individual cannot avoid being a composed entity which, since the factors of which it consists are not in a condition of reciprocal harmony, is exposed to a conflict in itself: therefore, the individual must reckon with mutually incompatible influences in himself; nonetheless, the individual is responsible for the prevalence of one or the other of the factors. Knowledge is indispensable in order that Sattva, the positive factor in the individual, can be improved in the individual: beholding the Supreme proves to be the way of liberation from the yearning of the objects of the senses. Lust will emerge as the enemy of the correct knowledge: knowledge is the remedy against the influence of lust.
For my analysis, I shall concentrate in particular on Discourses II, III, IV, V, VI, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII.

Hello Philippos,
When it comes to 21st-century education teacher's priority must rely on the transformative power of education, defined by UNESCO as the process that "involves teaching and learning geared to motivate and empower happy and healthy learners to take informed decisions and actions at the individual, community and global levels." (2023,
Combining scientific, pedagogical skills and values with a broader sense of the teacher's mission is essential to ensure learners develop skills better aligned with the challenges we face today.
Thus, teachers should be trained in the following areas to ensure they are prepared to foster learner's eagerness to learn and awareness about the world they live in:
- social-emotional skills
- critical thinking and problem-solving skills
- resilience and flexibility
- collaboration and empathy
- pedagogical use of technology

Question

Many people may think that an irrational such as 2^1/2 is mathematical, not physical, and has no direct connection to quantum mechanics (QM).
On the other hand, we guess that's a great question even though no one really knows the exact answer.
We offer the following:
For the interpretation of probabilities in QM to make sense, the wave function Ψ must satisfy certain conditions.
An extremely important and yet rarely mentioned condition is,
Ψ squared = Ψ* squared=Ψ.Ψ* must always be positive and real.
This is the required answer.
Matrix transition chains B (solving the heat diffusion/conduction equation as a function of time) suggests finding an adequate alternative complex transition matrix to solve the Schrödinger equation as a function of time.
what is quite striking is that 2^1/2 should appear explicitly and be expressed numerically as 1.142... in order to construct the required complex transition matrix.

Answer IV- continued
In this answer, we explain the numerical statistical solution to the time-dependent SE without needing the SE itself in the same way used for solve the transient heat equation without using the heat equation.
In other words, we completely ignore the SE and the Bohr/Copenhagen interpretation as if they never existed.
The numerical statistical solution to SE will be,
Ψ=W . b. . . ..(1)
where b is the vector of the real potential applied to the quantum particle and W is the complex quantum transfer matrix expressed by:
W=Q + Q^2+Q^3+ . . .Q^N . . . . (2)
It was shown before that,
Q=Sqrt (B).. . . (3)
where B is the well-known real transition matrix used to find time-dependent solutions for the Poisson, Laplace, and heat diffusion partial differential equations.
Equations 1,2 show that the solutions of Schrödinger's equation depend only on the shape of the potential and the boundary conditions as expected.
In order not to worry too much about the details of the theory, let's move on to the following illustrative specific application without loss of generality:
Consider the simplest Cartesian geometrical shape , a cube of length L and eight vertices that represent the nodes or quantum states.
The B 8x8 transition matrix is given by,
0 1/6   0 1/6 1/6   0   0   0
1/6   0 1/6   0   0 1/6   0   0
0 1/6   0 1/6   0   0 1/6   0

0   0 1/6   0   0 1/6   0 1/6
0   0   0 1/6 1/6   0 1/6   0
and the complex quantum transition matrix Q=Sqrt (B)  would be,

Answer
To perform a logistic regression after ending the data preparation (i.e., solving completeness and correctness data issues, creating derived and new variables, and the data inclusion/exclusion), you need to convert categorical variables into binary variables. In place to have age, you will have four variables (one for each level under 25, between 25 to 34, between 35 to 44, and 45 and above) and these new variables will be two levels "0" if this characteristic is absent and "1" if the characteristic is present. After performing this stage, you can split your dataset, cross-validate and apply parameters, run your model, evaluate your model, and interpret odd ratios.

I am investigating whether two independent factors with only two levels each affect my dependent variable memory performance. Thus, I performed a two way analysis where my IV1 was significant and the interaction between both IVs.
I am confused regarding post hoc tests as some state no post hoc tests are needed in case of only two levels. Others state that Tukey test should be performed. However, the Tukey does not seem to make sense in case of only two levels in each IV? I thought about doing an independent samples t test? But in this case only further investigate the main effects. Thus, my question is if my analysis requires a post hoc test and if so, which post hoc test would you suggest for the main effects and interaction effect?
Thanks!!
Relevant answer
Answer
  • Yes, the general advice is that if the interaction is significant, you don't need to conduct post-hoc tests on the main effects. Simply, it's because post-hoc tests on the main effects won't be of much interest since you know that there is an interaction effect. But there's no law about this.
  • E.M. means in R are easy to get. For example,
library(emmeans)
marginal = emmeans(model, ~ Instructor + Supplement)
pairs(marginal, adjust="tukey")
  • In R, it appears the the TukeyHSD function in the native stats package works fine when there are only two levels of a treatment.
  • The results from emmeans with the "tukey" adjustment will be the same as the classic Tukey HSD test for a standard two-way anova.
  • In general, I would avoid using pairwise tests (e.g. pairwise t-tests) for post-hoc testing. It's better to use post-hoc approaches that take into account all the data together. But also, when you have very flexible approaches like using emmeans, there's no need to worry about Tukey's HSD or Dunnetts, and so on.

Rest-Mass, Charge of an electron is still an unsolved problem in physics! Why?
Einstein: "A theory setting mass and charge a priori is incomplete!" So Dirac's Electron Theory (restmass and charge are fundamental constants) is incomplete in the sense of Einsteins Opinion. The same to SM & GR up to now?
Relevant answer
Answer
I give it a try although it is far too much for 1 comment. And more worse: there are a lot of conflicting concepts, each concept hailed by a different group of theorists. So there is no consensus too.
If you are a phenomenological physicist physical reality exists of an enormous vacuum and inside the vacuum there are phenomena and configurations of phenomena. Thus particles and their distinct influence on vacuum space around (like a gravitational field, EM field, etc. “attached” to the particle). The consequence of this concept is that the electron and the proton in a Hydrogen atom are separated phenomena. Their mutual relations – like the electric charge – are like a mysterious “surplus” to the properties of each particle.
In modern physics there is no difference between the vacuum and the particles inside because both represent an underlying reality that creates physical reality (“everything”). The underlying reality exists of basic quantum fields and the general concept is termed quantum field theory (QFT). Basic quantum fields are “tangible” fields because the emerging energy concentrations we have termed particles are “tangible” phenomena. The consequence is that the gravitational field or the EM field “attached” to a particle represent local differences of the average magnitudes within the structure of the basic quantum fields.
If we use the general QFT concept the electric charge (+/-) represents a duality. Thus properties of the basic quantum fields are responsible for the creation of the electric charge under universal conservation laws. That means the conservation of energy and the conservation of momentum. Both universal conservation laws reflect the dynamical properties of the universal electric field and the corresponding magnetic field (= electromagnetic field).
Suppose the electromagnetic field creates a proton, a local concentration of energy in vacuum space. The mechanism that is responsible for the concentration of energy cannot create energy out of nothing (universal conservation law). Thus the energy of the proton was obtained from vacuum space around, actually the electromagnetic field, and transferred to a small volume in the centre of the concentration (the new proton). In other words, if there is a local concentration of energy (e.g. n x h), there is a local deficit of energy around the proton with the same quantity (n x h). Because most physicists are phenomenological physicists, these physicists prevere the concept that a local surplus of energy is a one-particle field excitation (like Stam Nicolis mentioned above). They certainly don't like set theory.
The universal electric field is a topological field and it can deform under invariance of volume (the cause behind the wave-like property of the electromagnetic field). The amount of dynamical topological deformation is quantized and that is what we have termed “Planck’s constant”. The quantum of energy propagates – if linear – within the structure of the universal electric field at a constant velocity, the speed of light (c). That is obvious because if the structure hasn’t a metric of equal proportions (size) the properties of a particle will change if the particle changes its position. And that is not what we observe.
The corresponding magnetic field is a vector field. Vectors are 1-dimensional in mathematics (classic field theory) thus the magnetic field has no volume of its own. Vectors can only propagate within a rigid medium (another quantum field).
Be aware that in quantum field theory there is no need for Lorenz transformations because the structure of the underlying basic quantum fields is the rest frame of the universe. Moreover, the mathematical properties of the universal electric field don’t permit the curvature of the structure of the basic quantum fields. Thus in QFT Einstein’s hypothesized curved spacetime is a model and the model describes the mutual dynamical relations between the (macroscopic) phenomena in a convincing way. Of course not the mutual relations that are not described by the theory of Special and General relativity. The “transformation” of Einstein’s curved spacetime in terms of field theory is the search for quantum gravity.
Be aware that the consequence of Einstein’s curved spacetime – some kind of a "fluid" – is that there don’t exist vectors in our universe. Or we must reject the significance of mathematics in theoretical physics...

Hello,
I recently stumbled on a paper in the field of neurosurgery. The paper analyzes imaging parameters that predict injury related to the spinal cord (Posterior Ligamentous Complex Injuries). I have two concerns related to the paper and I need assistance from a statistician
1) Is that possible that they mention that one parameter is associated with positive association (OR > 1) with PLC injury in axial section but not associated with PLC injury in sagittal section (OR < 1)? This didn't make sense because it is the same parameter but once viewed in axial view and another time viewed in sagittal view.
2) My second concern is that whether it is possible to use the parameter that was associated with negative association (OR < 1) to create ROC curve and measure its predictive power (sensitivity, specifity, etc)?

What is the role of Interoceptive sense in Toilet training of individuals with Sensory Processing Disorder?
Relevant answer
Answer
Husna, your question pertains to the role of interoceptive sense in toilet training individuals with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). Let's explore this topic:
Interoception refers to the sense of the internal state of one's body, including sensations related to bodily functions such as heart rate, respiration, temperature, hunger, and the need to urinate or defecate. It plays a crucial role in regulating and responding to bodily needs and maintaining overall well-being.
For individuals with Sensory Processing Disorder, which is characterized by atypical processing of sensory information, including difficulties in processing and responding to sensory input, interoception can be affected. This can result in challenges in recognizing and interpreting bodily signals, including the need to use the toilet.
In toilet training individuals with SPD, addressing interoceptive difficulties is important. Here are some considerations:
1. Sensory-based strategies: Sensory-based interventions can be helpful in enhancing interoceptive awareness. These may include activities that promote body awareness and sensory integration, such as deep pressure activities, proprioceptive exercises, and vestibular input. These strategies can help individuals with SPD become more attuned to bodily sensations, including the need to use the toilet.
2. Environmental modifications: Creating a sensory-friendly environment can support toilet training. This may involve ensuring that the bathroom environment is calm, comfortable, and free from overwhelming sensory stimuli. Providing appropriate seating and positioning options that accommodate the individual's sensory needs can also be beneficial.
3. Visual supports and social stories: Visual supports, such as schedules, diagrams, or pictures, can help individuals with SPD understand the steps involved in toilet training and provide a visual reminder of the process. Social stories, which present information in a narrative format, can be used to explain and normalize the experience of using the toilet.
4. Gradual desensitization: Gradually exposing individuals to the sensations and routines associated with toilet training can help desensitize any aversions or sensitivities they may have. This can be done by introducing the steps of toilet training in a progressive and structured manner, gradually increasing the individual's comfort level.
It's important to note that toilet training approaches should be individualized and tailored to the specific sensory needs and challenges of each person with SPD. Working with occupational therapists or healthcare professionals experienced in sensory integration can provide valuable guidance and support in developing a personalized toilet training plan.
Remember, successful toilet training for individuals with SPD may require patience, understanding, and a multi-faceted approach that considers sensory factors, individual differences, and the unique needs of each person.

And should one consider the poets who don’t rhyme their verses as being of an inferior mastery of the language compared to those who always rhymed their poetry without affecting the sense and the beauty of the poem such as Edgar Allan Poe?
Relevant answer
Answer
I am concerned that the term "poetry" is being used to refer to any individual's mode of expression, especially if brief enough to stand on one page. This would accord with the anarchism implied by free verse, which is the U.S. is often an expression of "individualism," a term often exploited by those on the left who believe in "self-expression" and on the right by "libertarians," who support and fund extremist capitalism. I have my own notions of what elements define poetry, but these notions are lost in the crowd of poetic beliefs. In essence, I agree that metaphor is basic to poetry, in that the secrets of language's relationship to the real facts of life lurk in metaphors. Poetry includes dense sinews of metaphor, or (well organized) clusters. But poetry also has had a long connection to the elements of music--rhythms, repetitions of sound, including rhymes. Feelings. Sounds. So poetry, for me, is defined by the concentration of metaphor, rhythm, and word sounds, which in themselves, rather than (or in) "stanzas," can create the structures we also require of poetry. Poetry therefore need not be traditional rhymed verse, and often the sentimentalism of "poetic verse" is merely melodramatic and unrealistic. Thus poetry may also be "free" in limited ways--by the structuring of the elements of traditional verse in non-traditional ways. Most troubling to me are the examples of anarchic language that some call "poetry," mainly because they disqualify poetry as a socially valuable mode of expression. Few institutions support poetry as a valuable mode of expression, and those that do are actively--politically--being weakened. As serious troubles spread in the world, poetry as a means of inspiring collective responses is therefore marginalized. Individualism, and its anarchic expressions, are what remain, rather solitary and temporary.

Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, it is possible to develop regression models for time series data with breaks. Remember that this is also known as interrupted time series analysis, which uses regression techniques to model variations in the level or trend of a time series following an intervention or event. These models can be utilised to determine the impact of  changes on a time series variable.
It is essential, however, to ensure that the time series breaks are well-defined and supported by theory or empirical evidence. In addition, the validity of the regression models may be depending on the assumptions made regarding the nature and timing of the breaks as well as the potential confounding variables that may influence the outcome variable. Therefore, models require thorough consideration and validation to ensure accurate results.

Good morning,
I am not an expert on Factor Analysis, so I hope the explanation of my problem makes sense.
My current task is to perform analyses on an older data set from experiments my lab conducted a couple of years ago. We have 212 individual items, consisting of a dozen or so demographic questions and items from a total of 24 different scales that measure separate constructs. Given the large number of items and constructs, I would like to reduce the number of dimensions to achieve a more clear starting point for theory development. Obviously, an exploratory factor analysis is a good choice for this.
My question is whether I have to input the 200 or so individual non-demographic items in the EFA, or whether I can instead just use the 24 composite variables/constructs and reduce the number of dimensions from there. My hesitation using all the individual items is that an EFA would simply return something very similar to the composite variables, as the constructs generally have a quite high internal consistency and are fairly distinct from each other based on theory. The obvious caveat with using the composite variables is that it is not something I have seen done much, and as I am not an expert on EFA, I am unsure as to whether there is a major methodological road block to using composite variables that I am unaware of.
Thank you for your help!

Hey Pascal
200 items is a lot for an EFA. But why EFA - you have some ideas about the structure of the data as you have "24 different scales that measure separate constructs". You have a lot of scales with relatively few items. What not address this question in separate stages. First, you could test the dimensionality of each of the 24 scales separately using CFA to check that each scale is measuring only one latent variable. Second, when you have sorted out the structures at the level of the scales you can look at how they are correlated, or indeed factor analyze composite scores for all the scales together.

But at the very instant when the mouthful of tea mixed with cake crumbs touched my palate, I quivered, attentive to the extraordinary thing that was happening inside me.”
It's a sensory experience that triggers a rush of memories often long past, or even seemingly forgotten. For French author Marcel Proust, who penned the legendary lines in his 1913 novel, “À la recherche du temps perdu,” it was the soupçon of cake in tea that sent his mind reeling.
Ever since the 1991 publication in "Cell" of "A Novel Multigene Family May Encode Odorant Receptors: A Molecular Basis for Odor Recognition" by Linda Buck* and Richard Axel (Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics tHoward Hughes Medical Institute College of Physicians and Surgeons Columbia University New York, New York 10032), Neuroscientists and Molecular Biologists have been working to answer this and other questions about our olfactory sense. Some say that it is responsible for our most powerful memories, often from childhood.
My general interest is in the mechanisms by which sense perceptions in humans become memory and how memories are retrieved.

Answer
Hi Peter Thomason Unlike all the other senses. smell directly enters the cortex without going through the thalamus first. The cortex it enters is old and more primitive. It is near (physically and signal-wise) the emotional tissue. A scent can give you an experience before reason and reticence kick in.
Memory stores the significant. Significance is given by the emotion carried. Thus it is a short path from scent to memory. None of that requires modern 6-layered granular neocortex, though associated things are stored and recalled from there as well.

I am working on UV-visible measuements of some powder samples (dark colored ones), the absorbance measurements gives us values higher than 1, which we think isn't logical, and when I try to calculate the Reflectance by the mean of this equation: R=1-sqrt(T.exp(A)), it gives me high values (up to 70% Reflectance) which are in contradiction with the high absorbance measured, assuming that the Trasmittance values that are under 25% are correct.
Should I go through some type of normalization for my absorbance values? or do i do the UV-Visble measurements again adding Barium Sultfate (BaSO4) to the samples?
Relevant answer
Answer
Actually it makes a lot of sense and is to be expected for dark samples.
- The transmittance value has an upper limit of 1 (or 100%) for completely transparent samples and a lower limit of 0 (or 0%) for totally dark samples.
- The absorbance value has a lower limit of 0 for completely transparent samples, but no upper limit (in theory)! In practical use, the upper limit depends on your spectrometer's detector quality and the light path characteristics around the sample. High-end spectrometer can measure up to absorbance values around 6, which means that only 10^-6 of the incident light is transmitted...

In his ECPR essay (https://theloop.ecpr.eu/what-is-democracy-an-empirical-response-to-the-butterfly-collector/), Leonardo Morlino makes two statements that I'd like to highlight here.
(1) "[W]e are focusing on reconstructing the 'total texture' of democracy. What interests us, once we have collected all the material, is mapping and circumscribing the analytical space of the notion of democracy."
(2) "[I]f we privilege the empirical perspective, the 'total texture' (in our terms, the effective analytical space) is continuously changing in time and space. In a sense, it is the work of Sisyphus. We have to accept that the 'total texture' of democracy has been changing not only in space, from one geopolitical area to another, and often from one country to another. It has also changed in time; for example, from one decade to another."
In our forthcoming book, called The Sciences of the Democracies, many of us are exploring Morlino's analytic space. At the moment, we are terming it the "ethno-quantic domain". This domain, we argue, frames democracy knowledge as something that can be found across space, time, language, culture, and species.
Is there any "location" you would add to this list? In other words, where else can knowledge on democracy be found, be located?

How can the waves emitted from the human body be sensed?
Relevant answer
The human body emits various types of waves, including electromagnetic radiation in the form of infrared radiation, which is commonly referred to as body heat. Infrared cameras or thermal imaging cameras can detect and capture this radiation and convert it into an image that can be seen by humans.
Another type of wave emitted by the human body is sound waves, which can be sensed through the use of specialized microphones or acoustic sensors. These sound waves are produced by various processes in the body, such as the movement of air through the vocal cords when speaking or breathing.
It's also worth noting that the human body emits very weak electromagnetic fields that can be detected by sensitive equipment such as magnetometers. These fields are produced by the electrical activity of the body's cells and organs, and can provide information about the body's functions and health.

I am wondering, what are your opinions/experiences on which temperature measures are most relevant for the distribution of plants and their vitality in general? Specifically, I am interested in the comparison between above-ground and below-ground temperatures in sense of monthly or annual means.
The essential difference is that below-ground temperatures (assessed by dataloggers buried, let's say, 10 cm deep in the soil), in comparison to above-ground temperatures, exhibit buffered extremes, narrower daily amplitude, and longer temperature inertia (it takes some time to warm up and to cool down). The question is, whether these properties are an advantage or a disadvantage when studying how temperature drives the distribution of plant species.
I am interested in any ideas, if you know of some relevant papers, please, share them. I am most interested in how this works in alpine environments but also anywhere else.
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear All,
this is a very interesting debate. Patrick made the most important point. Air temperature is never useful, neither in the early nor in the late season. It is always wrong, meaning that it does not reflect what plants actually experience, both above AND belowground. As Patrick said, most alpine plants have their critical structures c. 2 cm below ground. The temperature of above ground organs cannot practically be measured. It is not represented by air temperature near the ground (also very delicate to measure without artefacts), although some people claim they can, and actual organ temperature would require attached-on thermocouples or thermistors, not really practical in alpine settings. This is why buried mini-data-loggers yield the best proxy for plant temperature. Try to obtain Scherrer and Körner Global Change Biology 2010 (I can also send it on request). We suggest to burry loggers 3-4 cm deep, because the logger should be under an intact plant and not under a bare soil spot that can heat up enormously, when the sun is out. So proper logger placement is an art! Note, all graminoids produce their foliage from basal meristems. Autumnal senescence is a hormone controlled all-plant process and not a process tied to an individual leaf. I talk about typical small stature (<10 cm) alpine plants. The story would be different for shrubs of 20-50 cm size, with buds much closer to air temperature. ch.koerner@unibas.ch

Has anyone any thoughts or are aware of any research when it comes to Intuition vs Sensing when it comes to entrepreneurs?
I have found, for example, The 16 personalities, which are based on Myers Briggs - (MBTI) which is an introspective self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions
And I have found one (1) profile that they call The Entrepreneurial. ESTP - Extraverted, Sensing, Thinking, and Prospecting - https://www.16personalities.com/
So, my Question is
-has any seen or being aware of any research about if entrepreneurs are or could be more of the Intuitive person or personality profile?
I.e., Extrovert/introvert, Intuitive, Think....etc.
This based on personality typology, e.g., - Sense perception, versus Intuition.
"Sensing" S and "Intuition" (N) are about how we gather information and which information we trust more strongly.
Sense perception: Perception of the world takes place directly via the five senses. The primary interest lies in the existing. Prefer information that is practical and concrete, i.e. here and now and what it means for something to remain as it is.
Intuition: Perception of the world takes place indirectly via the subconscious. The primary interest is in possibilities - what something could be or become. "What if...?" Prefers information that is theoretical and extensible, i.e. information that can change through a change of perspective.

Children’s songs tend to be lively and playful, but as we grow older we try to be more serious. It’s therefore important that we rekindle our childhood sense of fun, creativity, and play. Some songs have funny-sounding words, like “Aweemaway,” “Chim-Chim Cheree,” “Hinky Dinky Parlez Vous,” “Polly Wolly Doodle,” “Shipoopi,” or the “Oompa Loompa” song from The Wizard of Oz. Some of these funny words relate to real-world sounds.

I'm using a SYTOX deep red stain to count live/dead cells in a flow cytometry experiment. For my positive control, I use cells killed with ethanol and stained with SYTOX. When I initially look at my data for my experimental samples (healthy cells or treated cells that are under stress, i. e. should have a larger dead population), I do see two clear populations for live or dead cells, and there is a larger dead population with the treated cells than healthy, which makes sense.
However, when I go to analyze my data and blind gate out what should be the "negative" population from the unstained cells, there is consistently a very large shift in my negative SYTOX population so that a large portion of it then falls on the positive side of the gate, even though I can clearly still see the two distinct cell populations, where the dead population, which should be SYTOX positive, matches up well with the positive SYTOX control. It's just that the population that should the SYTOX negative is now split in half by the blind gating and thus makes my results ambiguous.
I've tried optimizing my machine settings/voltage to ameliorate the intensity of the shift but no luck so far. I've been using the suggested manufacturers concentration, so my next step would be to do a titer and decrease the SYTOX concentration that I stain with, but has anyone experienced this issue with SYTOX in flow cytometry and have any suggestions for troubleshooting other than changing the staining concentration and incubation time? My cells are live, not fixed, and I analyze them immediately upon completing the staining.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi..
It sounds like you are experiencing a shift in the negative SYTOX population after blind gating in your flow cytometry data. This shift could be caused by a number of factors, including variations in staining intensity or differences in cell size or granularity that could affect the position of the cells in the scatter plots. Here are a few suggestions for troubleshooting this issue:
  1. Check the quality of your SYTOX reagent: Make sure that the SYTOX reagent is fresh and has not been exposed to light or extreme temperatures, as these conditions can affect the quality of the reagent. You could also try using a different batch of SYTOX to see if this resolves the issue.
  2. Optimize the staining conditions: Try adjusting the concentration and incubation time of the SYTOX staining solution to see if this affects the intensity of the shift in the negative population. You could also try using a different staining method, such as a membrane permeabilization method, to see if this helps to reduce the shift.
  3. Check the quality of your cells: Make sure that the cells you are staining are healthy and not damaged, as this could affect the intensity of the staining. You could also try staining a different cell type to see if this affects the intensity of the shift.
  4. Check the flow cytometer settings: Make sure that the flow cytometer settings are optimized for the cells and reagent you are using. You could try adjusting the voltage or laser power to see if this affects the intensity of the shift.
  5. Use positive and negative controls: In addition to using your positive SYTOX control, it may be helpful to use negative controls (unstained cells) to help confirm that the shift in the negative SYTOX population is not due to an issue with the flow cytometer or the data analysis software.
I hope these suggestions are helpful. If the issue persists after trying these troubleshooting steps, you may want to consider seeking additional assistance or consulting with a flow cytometry expert.

I'm extracting some data from an older paper and I've run into some units that are, to me, a little obscure. At first I thought I had it figured out. Its nutrient data reported in y/mL (with the y being a 'gamma' symbol). After looking into it I found some information suggesting that gamma is equivalent to a microgram. Data reported in micrograms per mililiter made sense for what I was looking at and I moved on.
I have gotten to a new table in the paper with measurements reproted in my/ml (again, it is a 'gamma' not a y but I'm not sure how to insert the correct symbol here). If my previous assumption is correct then that means that this measurement is somehow milli-micrograms/milliter? I'm a little perplexed because I don't see that making sense.
Is anyone here familiar with these units?
Relevant answer
Answer
The quantity being described is a “mass concentration,” whose unit is a unit of mass divided by a unit of volume.
y/mL and my/mL are both units of mass concentration but the latter unit is 1000 times smaller in magnitude than the former. Could it have been used to specify weaker concentrations? The conversion factor is simply:
1000 my/mL = 1 y/mL.

Rationalism distinguishes between empirical knowledge, i.e., knowledge that arises through experience, and a priori knowledge, i.e., knowledge that is prior to experience and that arises through reason. Empirical knowledge depends upon our senses, senses that, the rationalist wastes no time to demonstrate, are unreliable. Here the rationalist appeals to common sense deceptions and perceptual illusions.
Empiricism denies the rationalist distinction between empirical and a priori knowledge. All knowledge, the empiricist argues, arises through, and is reducible to, sense perception. Thus, there is no knowledge that arises through reason alone. Thus, empiricism  credo is that where there is (or can be) no experience there is (and can be) no knowledge.

Irrational numbers are uncomputable with probability one. In that sense, numerical, they do not belong to nature. Animals cannot calculate it, nor humans, nor machines.
But algebra can deal with irrational numbers. Algebra deals with unknowns and indeterminates, exactly.
This would mean that a simple bee or fish can do algebra? No, this means, given the simple expression of their brains, that a higher entity is able to command them to do algebra. The same for humans and machines. We must be able also to do quantum computing, and beyond, also that way.
Thus, no one (animals, humans, extraterrestrials in the NASA search, and machines) is limited by their expressions, and all obey a higher entity, commanding through a network from the top down -- which entity we call God, and Jesus called Father.
This means that God holds all the dice. That also means that we can learn by mimicking nature. Even a wasp can teach us the medicinal properties of a passion fruit flower to lower aggression. Animals, no surprise, can self-medicate, knowing no biology or chemistry.
There is, then, no “personal” sense of algebra. It just is a combination of arithmetic operations.There is no “algebra in my sense” -- there is only one sense, the one mathematical sense that has made sense physically, for ages. I do not feel free to change it, and did not.
But we can reveal new facets of it. In that, we have already revealed several exact algebraic expressions for irrational numbers. Of course, the task is not even enumerable, but it is worth compiling, for the weary traveler. Any suggestions are welcome.

We need to be optimistic, because that is the lesson from nature. An animal can self-medicate, obeying natural laws in chemistry that are unknown to animals. A tree grows when pruned, so we can see this pandemic as an opportunity. Let's grow, nature is not a zero-sum game!
Irrational numbers and mathematical real-numbers are uncomputable, with probability 1.
But irrational numbers can be calculated exactly in algebra a and that is how animals are able to calculate-- in a network of thoughts.

I'm working on adaptive thermal comfort (CIBSE TM52 / TM59). Calculating the running mean temperature using the formula Trm= 0.2Te(d-1) + 0.16Te(d-2) + 0.128Te(d-3) ... is giving me values for Trm significantly lower than the previous daily averages (Te(d-1), Te(d-2) etc).
From the formula this makes sense as we're adding 0.2 + 0.16 + 0.128 etc which is significantly less than 1.
But intuitively, this doesn't make sense. Shouldn't the running mean temperature be much closer to the previous few days' mean temperatures?
Relevant answer
Answer
In fact, the exponentially weighted running mean temperature proposed by Nicol and Huphreys (see attached file) converges very slowly. For the recommended value α=0,8 (the one you used), the sum of the first 33 coefficients is 0,84, and the sum is only 0.75 if limited to the 10 first members. However, if the "simplified" formula
Θrm = (1- α)Θed -1 + α. Θrm-1
is used, the running mean temperature tends to the the average temperature after about 20 days if the dayly mean temperatures are constant. If the dayly mean temperatures increased in the past days, the running mean temperature is larger than the average temperature of the past days. At the contrary, if the dayly mean temperatures decreased in the past days, the running mean temperature is smaller than the average temperature.
Conclusion: Use the so-called simplified formula, introducing the dayly average temperature of the first day for Θed -1and the average tempertaure of the first two days for Θrm-1 in the first use of the equation above.

Hi!
I'm currently working on a Data Science project for optimizing the prices of the products one of the biggest supermarket chains in Mexico.
One of the things that we are working on, is finding the price elasticity of demand of such products. What we usually do, is that, apart from fitting an XGBoost model for predicting sales, we fit a linear regression, and we get the elasticity from the coefficient corresponding to the price (the slope).
However, it is abvious that linear regression is sometimes a poor fit for the data, not to mention that the execution times are way longer since it requires to run separately XGBoost and LR (which is not good considering that there are thousands of products to model).
Because of this, it ocurred to me that we could use numerical differentiation for finding the price elasticity. At last, calculating a numerical derivative is way faster than fitting another model.
However, I'm not sure if this is mathematically correct, since the data does not come from a function.
So the question would be, is this mathematically correct? Does it make sense?
Relevant answer
Answer
From my experience, I would not use a linear predictor for elasticity. I know your question is asking about mathematically correct solutions but I don't think that's your issue. I would probably use logistic regression as a first choice.

How can I make sense of these? I understood that in the "none" case, there is no cointegration. However, I am still confused at the "at most 1" and "at most 2" cases. Please help me with this. Thank you!
Relevant answer
Answer
Ateeb Akhter Shah Syed This is a tough question. First, you must understand the concepts of identification in a structural economic system of equations. This is covered well in many introductory and intermediate textbooks. Before you do any unit root tests or cointegration analysis you should consider what your theory and common sense say about the integration state of your variables and ask what cointegration equations you expect to find in your analysis. You then look to see how you can identify the system using theory and common sense.
When you have completed your examination of the economics of the system You can then use the Johansen methodology to estimate and test your model. Now say your econometric analysis implies that there is more than one cointegration vector. The trouble with Johansen is that it only estimates the cointegration space of the cointegration vectors. For example, if you have three cointegrating vectors then any three independent linear combinations of the original cointegrating vectors are also valid cointegration vectors. You must use your economic theory from your preliminary analysis of the model to select three unique cointegrating vectors. For a brief explanation have a look at Martin, Hurn, and Harris (2013), Econometric Modelling with Time Series, Cambridge page 682.
Some but not all time-series packages have the facilities to manage a lot of these calculations. CATS in RATS (https://www.estima.com/) or CATS in Oxmetrics. These are based on the Juselius book. Check your own software and see how far it goes.
If you need to do advanced work in this field you will need to understand what is in the Juselius book and in recent research in this field (see Killian and Lutkepohl (2017), Structural Vector Autoregressive Analysis, Cambridge). If you need to do less, consult your tutor, supervisor, or lecturer to see what he thinks is appropriate for your existing knowledge of economics, econometrics, and computing. This is a difficult topic and you could spend a lot of time learning how to do it.

Where are independent higher education research centres specialising in TRUE Orthodox Christianity, not to be confused with Orthodox Christianity ? True Orthodox Christianity rejects the modernism with its roots in the Russian and earlier Revolutions, including the paracanonical (canonically impermissible) calendar reforms promulgated by incomplete Robber Synods starting with the Patriarchate of Constantinople in the 1920s and the genocide of True (aka Authentic, Genuine or Catacomb) Orthodox Christianity by modernist Orthodox Christianity, resulting ultimately in the response of the True Orthodox Christian 1983 Anathema against Ecumenism by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) aka Russian Orthodox Church in Exile (ROCIE), embraced by all True, Authentic, Genuine and Catacomb Orthodox Christians. The True Orthodox genocide is numerically by far the greatest Christian martyrdom ever, with tens of millions in the former Russian Empire alone (a large majority of the 110 million "The Economist" estimates were murdered by the Soviet regime alone), was triggered by the refusal of the World Council of Churches, meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to allow a Greek True Orthodox bishop to speak about this matter, though the New York Times published his proposed address. In response the anathema was promulgated, in English, the WCC official language, at the ROCOR Synodical meeting at their monastery in Mansonville, Québec, also in Canada. Despite making up between 1 and 10% of the Orthodox Christian populations, in the broad sense of the term, throughout the world, I have been, even as an interested True Orthodox Christian, been unable to find any state recognised study centres devoted to the study of True Orthodox Christianity, as opposed to Orthodox Christianity. Some institutions, such as Cambridge University's Institute of Orthodox Christian Studies claim to have all locally active Orthodox Synods represented on their governing bodies, but didn't respond to my request for the publicly available details of the True Orthodox Christian Synods represented there. In any event, that Institute is not an Institute of TRUE Orthodox Christian studies.

No, they've been involved in instigating and coordinating the persecution of True Orthodox Christians since their forced introduction of the new calendar in the 1920s, for example sending in the Greek police to shut down True Orthodox liturgies by force, resulting in the death of peaceful True Orthodox Christians trying to block them off, peacefully, from their priests. St. Catherine of Mandra died in this way from her injuries from a Greek police rifle butt to the back of her head in 1927 after over a week in hospital (in which, though she never regained speech, she was able to write a note to her surviving husband asking him to take care of her two small children, her angels. The new calendar has always been rejected by True Orthodox Christians who uphold holy tradition and reject the thoroughly modernist dominated Patriarchate of Constantinople's failure to repent and consequently haven't re-established communion with it until this happens. The official address of the Patriarchate of Constantinople is Constantinople, Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul is the biggest city in Europe and one of the largest in Asia, with 15 million plus people and still growing fast, with the Constantinople part of it, including the Phanar, long swallowed up. The fact that they've received some very raw treatment themselves from the Turkish state, though utterly deplorable, doesn't alter this. I'm fairly certain (99% confident) no such independent institution recognised by the academic and state authorities, exists. I would much welcome collaboration in getting one set up! Long overdue since the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad (ROCA) seminary and college at Jordanville, upper New York state, affiliated to, but receiving no funding from, the State University of New York, joined the Ecumenist and Sergianist "Moscow Patriarchate" (entirely subservient to the Soviet Union and its successor state the Russian Federation since Sergius's surrender in 1927), in the 2007 union between the Sergianists and most of ROCA. 105 and counting years of pers

I am trying to find research that has used participants that have gone through a program and interviewed them after they have finished the program(when they are older) instead of interviewing them when they are in the program. Hope that makes sense, let me know.

It is a common sense that there must be only one theory which can describe the entire universe. But we also know Quantum mechanics & Theory of Relativity are not compatible with each other. Isn’t is sufficient to say that either both theories are wrong (minimal chance) or are approximation of the same theory (stronger candidate)? Why we are not trying to write a theory from the scratch which may be compatible with both?

Answer
An international team of researchers developed a unified framework that would account for this apparent break down between classical and quantum physics, and they put it to the test using a quantum satellite called Micius. They published their results ruling out one version of their theory on Sept 19th in Science.
Einstein’s legacy left two completely justified and scientifically provable theories. However, when viewed together, the quantum mechanical model does not completely align with general relativity. This is where the fundamental dilemma arises: A major disagreement exists between physics’ two most important frameworks.Relativity treats objects as point particles that exist as independent masses in time and space. Quantum mechanics, however, treats matter as wave functions that do not possess positions as point particles do, but are probability distributions. Relativity’s predictions produce definite outcomes, whereas quantum mechanics’ predictions produce probabilistic ones. As a result, applying relativity to objects of the scale at which quantum mechanics operates fails to produce sensible answers.Robert Brandenberger, a professor in the department of Physics at McGill, completed his post-doctoral research under Hawking. Brandenberger now works on the cosmological aspects of string theory, a postmodern theory that thinks of particles not as definite points, but as one-dimensional ‘strings’ which propagate through space-time in constant interaction with one another.For matter to be described quantum mechanically, then gravity must be described quantum mechanically as well.” Brandenberger said.If both quantum mechanics and relativity work independently, then they also have to work in unison. Here lies the scientific grey area physicists face when trying to integrate quantum mechanics with relativity: They simply do not function properly.“It is not that they oppose one another, but general relativity has a limited range of applicability,” Brandenberger said. “Newtonian [classical] mechanics describes point particles very well except if you go down to very small scales.”The same drawback applies to quantum mechanics on a larger scale: It describes, with great accuracy, the inner workings of subatomic particles, but fails to precisely address particle properties in the grand scheme.“When you include quantum mechanics, you get corrections to Einstein’s original equation,” Professor of Theoretical Cosmology Jim Cline told the Tribune. “These corrections are very small when talking about the everyday applications of gravity, but at short distances and high energies the corrections that come from quantum mechanics become very big and are infinitely many.”He explained that the data required to discern a unified theory are incredibly, and maybe impossibly, hard to collect using current research methods.“The theory itself becomes un-predictive,” Cline said. “Scientists do not like that.”However, black holes in the outer-reaches of the universe may provide the answer to unifying these two theories, an argument Hawking himself supported in his hypothetical ‘theory of everything.’“If you want to consider the physics of something very massive, that is also very small, you would need to understand both general relativity and quantum mechanics simultaneously,” Maloney said.The density of black holes is so great that nothing, not even light, can escape their immense pull. If a black hole can exert gravitational effects on large masses like planets in the same way that it can pull in light—which has a mass of almost zero—then an explanation of the phenomena of black holes would, in theory, reveal how large, macroscopic particles can interact with tiny, nanoscopic ones.

I analyze my data using Excel solver tool to fit my calculated values to experimental values. The set objective is the correlation value of the 2 sets of data and the variables are four different parameter values from my data. I am still not satisfied with the sigmoidal fits I get, though the final data solution makes some sense. Is there any other nonlinear fitting tools I can use which can give me more accurate sigmoidal (two-states protein unfolding) fits?
Relevant answer
Answer
I'd recommend using NumeRe (https://en.numere.org). Can do many things, which the proprietary apps can do, but is freely available via GPLv3. Furthermore, it has a quite comfortable variant of the Levenberg-Marquardt curve fitting algorithm with more-or-less arbitrary function expressions. Is more table oriented than MATLAB, for example, and can read Excel files as well.
