[We can consider ubiquitous computing as a recent innovation in the world of IT, AI, IoT, cloud computing, and communication. It relates to several connected E-devices such as computers, mobiles, smart cards, sensor networks, etc., which all have computation and communication capabilities. These E-devices may connect with sensors and actuators, which allow individuals to communicate and interact with several activities in their living environment. This new technique increases the possibility of having good and satisfactory communication abilities that provide secure access and data exchange within the community. According to this recent technology, educational techniques have advanced from electronic and mobile learning to ubiquitous learning [1]. U-learning depends on ubiquitous technology. Ubiquitous computing supports U-learning to develop and implement a new U-learning environment that provides education to students everywhere.
The proposed UTAUT paradigm presents the learners’ assessment analysis and feedback concerning the use of present LMS systems. The five essential factors for the proposed UTAUT approach are Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, and Behavioral Intentions [2]. The first four factors denoted by (PE, EE, SI, FC) deal with the intention and behavior of the learners that are applied in the recent U-learning apps, while the fifth factor denoted by (BI) deals with their behavior only. The proposed model is influenced by various factors regarding the use of the new apps and technologies such as gender, age, experience, and voluntariness.]

Hello,
Apologies if there's an obvious answer to this, I'm a first year PhD student and this task is entirely new to me. I'm including a lot of detail to convey my question clearly.
In D. melanogaster, the QF system is used to regulate the expression of transgenic constructs inserted within the genome of a specific fly line (similar to the UAS/Gal4 system).
In this system, the protein QF acts as a transcriptional activator, where in its active form it binds to a QUAS promoter and recruits transcriptional machinery.
One can easily obtain a fly stock which expresses QF from a stock centre like Bloomington. However, I need to design my own vector which will carry an insert that looks something like this:
Tub > QS - P2A - QF
Tub = Ubiquitous tubulin promoter, QS = Repressor of QF, P2A = "Self=cleaving" peptide, QF = Transcriptional activator
For this, I need to obtain the sequence of QS and QF; I have already obtained the former as its wild-type form is sufficient and easily accessible in NCBI.
However, I need a specific modified version of QF designed by Riabinina et al., 2015.
The modified QF protein, QF2w, is less toxic than the wild-type protein and is more robustly repressed by QS.
Is it possible to use online resources to obtain the sequence of QF2w and include it in my vector design? Or is my only option to contact the authors that designed this modified protein?
Best,
Panos

Addgene was indeed the way to go.
For reference:
From the 2015 paper:
"pCasper-act(B)-QF2w-act_term (Addgene #46126). QF2w was excised from pAC-QF2w by digestion with BamHI/NotI and ligated into pCasper4-
actin5cB-QF2 digested with BamHI/NotI to excise QF2."
I downloaded the sequence of Addgene #46126 and opened the .gb file in Benchling.
I then used BLASTp on the translated AA sequence of the insert from this plasmid, which gave me 99% identity with a synthetic construct on NCBI, UOF75596.1.
The difference between my queried AA sequence and the identified subject sequence was only in the last two AAs, where in the queried sequence the last two amino acids were changed from EQ to KK.
From the 2015 paper:
"In QF2w(eaker) the QF AD was mutated to reduce activity by altering the charge on the C terminus."
I think it is thus safe to assume that the #46126 plasmid indeed carries the sequence of QF2w, where its only difference with QF2 (UOF75596.1) are the last two amino acids which were purposely mutated to reduce activity by altering the charge.
So I have now obtained the sequence of my modified QF2w protein and can move on to generate my transgenic line.
Thank you both for your advice.

Most entomopathogens that exist on insects and in nature are always in association with a number of other microbes. I strongly feel other ubiquitous microbes have a faster regeneration time compared to the entomopathogens and as a result they usually crowd the media before the entomopathogens can have a chance to start growing. I therefore need media that are specific for isolating entomopathogens alone.
Relevant answer
Answer
Depends on wich microoroganism you are trying to isolate, as for fungal insect pathogens, they are known to resist common fongicides, so amending you culture medium with fungicides (e.g. dodine, cycloheximide (actiodine), CTAB, ect.) is a way to isolate them.

Hi everyone,
I am looking if it does exist stantardzed names to call the different administrative level of a country.
So I can classify for different countries relative information according to the administrative level.
According to my knowledge, I have the following sequence : National > regional > province > district >subdistrict. I could not find the reference/origin. I implicitly thought it was ubiquitous, but still, I could not find clear definition of each level to share with some one other.
Do you have any reference for those level, or any other reference name and document I could use ?

Information is ubiquitous given diverse portals of access online but not always free; some of these resources are made available via library subscriptions. In an attempt to prove their relevance, some academic libraries obfuscate their webpages with extraneous information. They consider this to be a marketing strategy, although the effects are questionable, given complaints of decreasing usage figures.

Dear musicians and music lovers,
let me confess my thoughts about music. I voiced some of these thoughts in https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can_rational_thought_exist_without_language
However, taking advantage of a happy opportunity, I would like to duplicate it in order to receive suggestions and recommendations.
<<
1. As you know, conservatories began to appear in the second half of the 19th century and by the beginning of the 20th century almost all classical music was created. Thus, we see the following situation: the conservatories release musicians who, at best, perform music that was created 150-200 years ago. In other words, musicians have become consumers for the performance of music of previous centuries, they themselves do not compose anything. How do you think: What is the main reason? Why am I talking about this? In my opinion, our community is developing in the wrong direction,  creating consumers with clip thinking, not creators. To create, we probably need special spiritual atmosphere and this atmosphere was in the 18-19 centuries. Now there is no such atmosphere.
2. I look with great regret at the master classes of famous pianists on how to perform Beethoven’s "Appassionata"
I look and think "Is it possible to explain music with words". No hours of great masters explanation will not add understanding, if you do not understand from the music itself. For example, the most brilliant performance of this sonata I heard from Svyatoslav Richter, and after performing it, any other one causes me squeamish rejection as an imperfect performance. However, Richter studied at the Conservatory formally; he came there already by a fully formed musician. However, Richter was an excellent artist and painted pictures. He drew musical images in own brain and created his brilliant interpretations.
3. When a musician performs a composition, only a very small part of this composition can reach the consciousness of the minds of listeners in the hall, and especially from electronic devices through sound waves. The great sacrament disappears, which can come only with the touch of fingers with a musical instrument. Listeners are deprived of this sacrament. That is, only the simultaneous contact of fingers with a musical instrument while simultaneously extracting sounds can detect this mystery. That is why I believe that society is musically developing in the wrong direction,  because it is necessary to turn passive listeners into active listeners in such a way that they enjoy the masterpieces of classical music through their own performance on musical instruments. However, not everyone can be musicians and perform music. How to solve a problem?

The use of the phrase "physiologic pH" is ubiquitous. Yet, if their is heterogeneity of the microenvironment, the phrase is grossly-misleading, by suggesting that "healthy pH" is invariably 7.4. Whereas, we know that the speciation of biomolecules is pH-dependent and solvent dependent.

One aspect of the variation of pH within a tissue is related to distance if cells from microcapillaries. This has been examined a lot in tumors, for example. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/4827/bdcbfcc0e67550a17e3c661a29d19f35f9e2.pdf

Things scale in size. Things scale by a scale factor. Relationships scale in particular ways: volume scales differently than area, which scales differently than length. Scaling sometimes seems to occur with a fractional exponent. Scaling is observed in biology, in physical systems, in economics, in networks, and in cosmology. Does the common appearance of scaling in so many different phenomena indicate that scaling is deeply connected to entropy or some other fundamental aspect of the distribution of energy? Why is scaling ubiquitous, and what does its ubiquity tell us, if anything, about underlying principles, if there are any?
Relevant answer
Answer
Things scale not only among two different parameters such as volume and area, but also within one only parameter. For example, far more small cities than large ones, for more short streets than long ones, far more low buildings than high ones, far more poor people than rich people, far more ordinary people than extra-ordinary people. I formulated scaling law - a universal law - based on this notion of far more smalls than larges. Together with another law so called Tober's law, these two laws constitute fundamental laws of living structure or wholeness that appears in all things ranging from the smallest (with Planck's length) to the largest (of universe).
These two laws apply not only to nature and biology, but also what we made or built (of course, excluding modernist buildings and arts). Truly beautiful or living things are governed by these two laws. In line with these two laws, there are two design principles - differentiation and adaptation - for creating living structures for built environment and arts.

I'm having an issue with non specific binding of my primers. I've tried many primers and this is the least messy primer pair but I am still getting a second melt curve peak when doing serial dilutions on the qPCR. The peak is present in a 1:4 dilution at a much lower height and gone at a 1:16 dilution. Additionally, the peak at 82.29 C is higher than the correct peak at 77 C which contradicts my gel (lane 4 after the ladder). This peak is also present at the same concentration in another strain.
Because I am working with bacillus subtilis this cannot be an intron issue and it also cannot be a genomic DNA contamination issue since I have performed (-) reverse transcriptase controls (lanes 7-12 after the ladder) and while there is gDNA, the primers are specific in those controls. Everything has been done in parallel so any contamination should be present ubiquitously.
So I have two questions,
1) what might be responsible other than gDNA for off-target binding in a prokaryotic organism?
2) why would the qPCR machine indicate such a high melt curve peak for a product that according to my gel, is barely there?
The gel isn't run for too long, the correct amplicon is 127bp which corresponds to what I'm seeing in all my lanes and the 83 C melt curve peak corresponds to that larger product I'm seeing in my gel.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Denise, If I see the same gel picture / melt results I always suppose unspecific products. I agree with Arthur, may be you unspecific band is go out of the gel. But in my experience some times I received single band and two or more melting peaks because of more sensitive detection using SYBR Green.
So, please try to add less Mg2+ in reaction, at least in 2 times. If it is not affect the reaction results, you also should add less primers (-30-50%). In the case of a good primers your unspecific bands/peaks should go out.
I hope my answer will help you.

Hoping to get some leads on what to use as a ubiquitous internal control for secreted protein WB
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Samrat, I guess you don't really need a reference for secretion: assuming you culture/stimulate cells in parallel, for the same time and in the same amount of medium, just take equal volumes of medium. To account for the number of cells that have been secreting, make a total lysate of the plate and calibrate with any cellular reference gene valid for your system (in general, I would favour a nuclear protein, a histone or better lamin, which is directly proportional to the number of cells and does not depend on the metabolic state or cell size...). Then you can calibrate the amount of secreted protein for the number of cells that were secreting it.
You could also check the ratio between secreted protein and cellular protein (so, not yet secreted)... but this might either be unchanged or open up questions, concerning possible defects in the secretion pathway or regulation of the protein expression...
