Voice - Science topic

The voice consists of sound made by a human being using the vocal folds for talking, singing, laughing, crying, screaming, etc. Habitual speech fundamental frequency ranges in 75–150 Hz for men and 150–300 Hz for women. The human voice is specifically that part of human sound production in which the vocal folds (vocal cords) are the primary sound source.

I saw the termite attack on my cannabis farm. The termites had hollowed out the stems of mature plants. Without any apparent symptoms. I was able to control it by adding poison to the irrigation water. Does anyone have a similar experience in this regard? Termites are not reported as a common pest of cannabis. How can I report this?
Relevant answer
I am currently facing the same problem. Both termites and ants are social insects that live in highly organized colonies. In this context, the death of the queen means the death of the colony. Therefore, the only viable solution is to locate and identify the termite mounds, and apply a biological agent to infect the colony or, alternatively, use a specialized chemical. In my case, we opted for the targeted use of pyrethrin at low concentrations, as we work in organic farming and apply the treatment outside the cultivation area.

Dear community,
One of our manuscripts has been waiting with the editor for over a year because of the "lack of reviewers." Sadly, the journal editor has repeatedly asked me for reviewer advice. By my heart, I believe in blind peer review, but I'm hopeless at this point. I want to share my manuscript's abstract and ask if anyone is interested in reviewing or advising a reviewer. Thank you in advance!
"Vigorous seedlings guarantee satisfactory production in the forward stages of the vegetation period. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of bio-based rearing water of two mosquito species (Culiseta sp. and Culex sp.) on tomato germination, emergence, and seedling quality. For this purpose, two distinct larval-rearing waters (LRW) (with diverse larval densities), and fry food-applied water (FFW) were used as bio-priming agents. The findings revealed that using bio-based rearing water could enhance the vigor of tomato seeds. When compared to the control group, all Culex sp. derived LRWs had a shorter mean time of germination (MTG). One Culex sp. derived LRW treatment resulted in the shortest MTG (4.35 days), whereas one Culiseta sp. derived LRW treatment resulted in the longest (6.20 days). There were no statistically significant differences in stem length but significant differences in plant length. Plant length was shorter in LRW and FFW than in the control. The stem diameters of plants primed with LRW were generally wider than the control. According to analyses of the plant length, stem length, and stem diameter measurements, the LRW and FFW treatments may have had a reductive influence on plant length but provided significant support for more thick seedlings, which are more beneficial for seedlings. Other germination and growth characteristics (vigor index of germination, emergence percentage, mean time of emergence, vigor index of emergence, plant length, stem length, leaf width, leaf length, stem fresh weight, stem dry weight, root dry weight) did not show significant variation among treatments. The application of LRWs may offer a novel way to improve seedling establishment and tomato growth."

Greetings!
I am an undergraduate currently conducting my thesis. I will be collecting parts of a large plant (leaves, stems, rhizome, flowers, and fruits) from a mountain and oven drying it later for analysis. So far, I have not read any literature on how I can preserve them during the travel back to the laboratory as this could affect my results. I was suggested to simply cut the required parts and store them in plastic cellophanes. Was the suggestion given to me correct or should I also store it in a cold ice box? Any suggestion and reply would be deeply appreciated. Thank you so much.
Relevant answer
Answer
Based on the information in your explanatory text, you will be drying the samples when you get back to the lab, so I imagine you will be testing for non-volatile materials/compounds (carbohydrates, elements etc), not heat-sensitive ones (flavours/odours/specific proteins etc). If you can't pre-dry things in the field, you will have to keep them as fresh as possible until you can get them in the oven at the lab.
You haven't specified if your field site is a "cold" mountain or a "warm" one, but being based in the Philipines, I imagine it will be warm. If you can keep the samples as dry as possible as Rajendra Kumar Bansal suggests, that is good, as fungal infection will spread rapidly and make sample handling that much harder if they get wet and warm.
Transport the samples wrapped in clean* absorbent material inside plastic bags, in a cooler or polystyrene box. Note that plastic bags are good as long as they are keeping things dry: My experience is once the water gets into a plastic bag, it is so much harder to get it back out. If you can access "cold bricks" rather than frozen water, that will minimise water in the cold box to condensation. (They last a bit longer in the heat as well). If you have a portable (car-based) refrigerator, that would be optimal, but I'm also picturing a 6-hour hike up and down a mountain in tropical heat to access the plant, so you aren't likely to be bringing a fridge into the jungle.
*Clean in metal/element terms is not the same as sterile microbiological terms. Newspaper will be much more contaminating than absorbent towel, which may still have considerable amounts of bleach/sodium/chlorides that may affect your laboratory analysis.
Best of luck!

Relevant answer
Answer
A natural products expert may prove me wrong here but I think that you will struggle to identify these products, unless they are all known. You seem to have nominal mass MS spectra whereas high res would be much better as this would allow you to identify a small number of molecular formulae. The weak NMR spectra are of a mixture of unknown compounds. For some reason, your HMBC data only covers 1ppm (~2.5-3.5ppm) and misses any chance of long-range correlations from aromatic/olefinic protons. The HSQC indicates some interesting peaks which may guide you towards some structural features. Trying to separate the three compounds may help but it looks like you are struggling for material so this may not be possible.
Good luck!

Language is fluid. "Shan-Yu The ruthless leader of the Huns in Mulan; voiced by Miguel Ferrer. The name means “Invader from the North"" (d23.com, https://d23.com/a-to-z/shan-yu/ ).
Relevant answer
Answer
Shan-Yu appears in Kingdom Hearts II as the main antagonist of The Land of Dragons. He originates from Disney's Mulan. Instead of being the leader of the Hun army like he is during the film, he possesses an army of Heartless. Shan-Yu's eyes and ears is his loyal pet peregrine falcon, Hayabusa. Hayabusa appears as an ominous warning to others that Shan-Yu and his army are approaching.
Story
Kingdom Hearts II
After burning down a village, Shan-Yu stands among the ruins with his falcon, Hayabusa. Later, Mushu tells Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Mulan how he saw Shan-Yu enter a cave near the Village. As the party heads into the cave, they fall into a trap, and when they return outside, they witness how Shan-Yu had attacked and burned down the village. The party follows Shan-Yu to the mountain's summit, where Mulan uses fireworks to cause an avalanche, swallowing Shan-Yu and his army of Heartless.
Mulan notices Shan-Yu had survived the avalanche, and is headed towards the imperial palace. As the party catches up with Captain Li Shang to warn him, his soldiers transform into Heartless. After taking care of them, the party finds Shan-Yu holding The Emperor hostage, but Li Shang knocks him back, and brings the Emperor to safery, leaving Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Mulan to protect the palace doors and fight Shan-Yu, eventually defeating him.
This information is based on alternate scenes or materials and is not considered canon within the overall plot of the series. In the Kingdom Hearts II manga, While Shan-Yu gains control of the Heartless and creates an army of them through the darkness in his heart, his army is made up of his compatriots. Through Xigbar, he learns about the power of darkness and receives a fraction of it in exchange for his help. When he rushes at the mountaintop with his people to attack Sora and his friends, his soldiers transform into Heartless. After he frees himself from the snow caused by the avalanche, he summons the Storm Rider. When he is defeated and the Storm Rider is destroyed, he asks Xigbar to give him more power over the darkness, but is killed by him for his failure.

The size miRNA is 89 bps and the primers I have designed (using traditional method for designing gene primers) should give an amplified product of 71 bps. But I am getting product of higher molecular weight. What should be done? Also I have seen that usually people add a stem loop to miRNA (probably to increase its length), how a stem loop could be designed?
Relevant answer
Answer
Designing highly-specific primers for microRNAs are not as straightforward as (coding) gene primers. There are commercial kits that help modify microRNAs so that they are more easily amplified after cDNA conversion. There are differing kit chemistry at the cDNA conversion level to consider, it is generally split into two methods: polyA tailing (universal RT) or by the addition of something like stem loops primers. Thermo has an excellent video of these 2 concepts (https://www.thermofisher.com/blog/behindthebench/finding-the-right-microrna-mirna-assays/). If you want to add stem loop primers, look into commercial vendors for a kit. But also consider the polyA tailing method which gives you flexibility. Understand the chemistry of the methods, you will be locked into the particular way of doing things if you choose one. Each has its own advantages & disadvantages. If you are happy with SYBR-green based assays, polyA tailing is not a bad start.

The requirement of two or three publications for PhD scholars stems from the UGC's directive that guides must have a minimum of three publications in the relevant research area to qualify. However, many guides fail to meet this requirement, making them legally ineligible to mentor PhD candidates. This jeopardizes scholars' futures. Consequently, scholars collaborate with their guides to publish articles, ensuring compliance with the UGC's guidelines. While research dissemination is often emphasized, scholars sometimes struggle to publish due to insufficient expert input. The solution lies in understanding the problem, not in conflict, but in collaboration and collective effort to confront reality. So find a subject matter expert, get input and publish Most institutes have over 1000 to 15,000+ candidates waiting in line for publication, and it's a severe problem .... there is a shortage of subject matter experts.

My research aims to answer the question, "How did the vocal mechanisms adapt in humans to allow the emergence of oral communication and vocal arts?" In order to do so, my research encompasses a broad anthropological investigation into oral communication and distinct vocal arts, considering both physiological and physiopathological features of vocal production. Additionally, by applying a philosophical approach to the history of voice in these diverse fields, my findings have demonstrated that both oral communication and vocal arts, in their normal and pathological contexts, might be understood as anthropological unfoldings of the human voice, providing me significant insights into vocal pedagogy and therapy. I aim to conduct further investigation on this question in a PhD program in Anthropology from 2025 on. However, I have already uploaded a few research papers and posters in my researchgate profile explaining how I got to several findings that led me to such research interest.
Relevant answer
Answer
I completely agree with you, Dr. Raybeck. This is precisely why I carefully chose the term "oral communication" rather than "oral language" or "spoken language". My intention was, in fact, to encompass all these possibilities found in anthropology and move away from the egocentrism of our species, as you mentioned. Therefore, I am also interested in exploring the forms of communication that we have "before words". I mean, what came before any (proto)language?
Of course, my main focus is still on understanding the adaptations of vocal mechanisms in humans, and not on the forms of communication themselves. Consequently, in one way or another, I look for the (neuro)anatomical and (neuro)physiological adaptations of the human voice. This is why vocal arts became a fundamental part of my research. Vocal arts, such as beatboxing and scat singing, have shown me that so-called "speech sounds" and even syllables themselves can be used for aesthetic purposes outside of the context of language/linguistic communication itself. For example, a sung phrase such as "ba ba dum ba dum ba dum ba da" has speech sounds and syllables, however, it carries no linguistic meaning in English or Brazilian Portuguese.
Therefore, I must keep in mind the perspective you presented throughout the investigations.

What are the challenges faced by anaesthesiologists in the management of chronic pain, and how can these challenges be addressed?Anaesthesiologists face several challenges in the management of chronic pain, stemming from the complex nature of chronic pain conditions and the diverse needs of patients. Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted approach that integrates clinical expertise, interdisciplinary collaboration, and patient-centered care.
Relevant answer
Answer
Anaesthesiologists face several challenges in the management of chronic pain, stemming from the complex nature of chronic pain conditions and the diverse needs of patients. Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted approach that integrates clinical expertise, interdisciplinary collaboration, and patient-centered care. Here are some of the key challenges faced by anaesthesiologists in the management of chronic pain and strategies to address them:
  1. Diagnostic Complexity: Chronic pain conditions often have multifactorial etiologies and can present with diverse symptomatology, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Anaesthesiologists must conduct thorough assessments, including comprehensive medical histories, physical examinations, and diagnostic tests, to accurately identify the underlying causes of pain. Collaboration with other specialists, such as neurologists, rheumatologists, and physiatrists, can help facilitate accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans.
  2. Treatment Resistance and Refractory Pain: Some patients with chronic pain may not respond adequately to conventional pharmacological and interventional treatments, leading to treatment resistance and refractory pain. Anaesthesiologists must adopt a multimodal approach to pain management that combines various therapies, such as medications, nerve blocks, neuromodulation techniques, and psychological interventions. Patient-centered care plans should be developed based on individual patient preferences, goals, and responses to treatment.
  3. Opioid Epidemic and Pain Medication Misuse: The opioid epidemic has raised concerns about the overreliance on opioid medications for chronic pain management and the risks of addiction, overdose, and misuse. Anaesthesiologists must balance the need for effective pain relief with the potential risks associated with opioid therapy. Implementing evidence-based prescribing practices, conducting regular assessments of opioid efficacy and safety, and integrating non-opioid analgesic modalities into treatment plans can help mitigate these risks and promote safer pain management practices.
  4. Psychosocial Factors and Comorbidities: Chronic pain is often associated with psychosocial factors, such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance use disorders, which can complicate pain management and contribute to treatment resistance. Anaesthesiologists should assess and address these psychosocial factors as part of comprehensive pain management plans, collaborating with mental health professionals, social workers, and addiction specialists as needed. Incorporating cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and stress-reduction techniques into treatment regimens can help address these comorbidities and improve pain outcomes.
  5. Access to Comprehensive Care: Access to comprehensive pain management services, including interdisciplinary pain clinics, specialized interventions, and alternative therapies, may be limited in some geographic areas or healthcare settings. Anaesthesiologists can advocate for increased access to comprehensive pain care services and collaborate with primary care providers, community health centers, and telemedicine platforms to expand the reach of pain management services to underserved populations. Additionally, continuing education and training programs can help equip healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively manage chronic pain in diverse clinical settings.
By addressing these challenges through a holistic and patient-centered approach, anaesthesiologists can improve the quality of care for patients with chronic pain and enhance their overall well-being and quality of life.

The explants are woody stems. Are there better sterilization stategies we can adopt? Thanks for your help.
Relevant answer
Answer
Incorporating antibiotics into the culture media can help suppress the growth of endophytes. Antibiotics such as streptomycin or tetracycline are commonly used in tissue culture to control microbial contamination. However, it's crucial to use antibiotics at appropriate concentrations to avoid damaging the plant tissue.
In addition, regularly inspect the cultures for signs of contamination, such as fungal or bacterial growth. If contamination is detected, remove the affected explants and transfer the uncontaminated ones to fresh media. Subculturing can help isolate and propagate healthy tissue while minimizing the spread of contaminants.

Dear Phua,
We used ordinary DMEM, not high glucose. We used lab made plate lysate 10%, but 5% I think will ve OK. However you should pay attention on the timing of harvest.

I want to know how plastic surgeries can affect the human voice, especially nose surgeries, and if it affects the human voice is it a change that can be observed only with our ears? or do we need to analyze the sound to observe the change?
Relevant answer
Answer
Plastic surgeries, particularly those involving the nose (rhinoplasty), can potentially affect the human voice in several ways:
1. Nasal Resonance: The structure of the nose plays a significant role in vocal resonance. Altering the shape or size of the nose through surgery can impact the way sound resonates within the vocal tract. For example, if the surgery results in narrowing of the nasal passages or changes in nasal airflow, it may affect the resonance characteristics of the voice.
2. Airflow and Breath Support: Rhinoplasty can also affect airflow and breath support, which are crucial aspects of vocal production. Changes in nasal airflow or air pressure within the vocal tract can influence vocal tone, volume, and control.
3. Articulation and Pronunciation: The position of the nasal passages and surrounding structures can influence articulation and pronunciation of certain sounds, particularly nasal consonants like "m" and "n." Altering the nasal anatomy through surgery may potentially impact the clarity and precision of speech sounds.
4. Perceptible Changes: In some cases, changes to the voice resulting from rhinoplasty may be perceptible to the ear, particularly if there are significant alterations to nasal resonance or airflow. For example, a person's voice may sound more or less nasal after surgery, depending on the specific changes made to the nasal structures.
5. Acoustic Analysis: While changes to the voice may be noticeable through listening, acoustic analysis can provide more detailed insights into any alterations in vocal characteristics. This may involve measuring parameters such as vocal pitch, resonance frequencies, and spectral characteristics before and after surgery to assess changes in vocal production.
Overall, plastic surgeries, including nose surgeries, have the potential to affect the human voice, primarily through alterations in nasal resonance, airflow, and articulatory mechanisms. While some changes may be evident through listening alone, acoustic analysis can provide a more objective and comprehensive understanding of any vocal changes following surgery.

Liberalism is a highly hegemonic and maybe all encompassing force that stems from God as humans would NOT have the ability to reason to implement social justice WITHOUT The Holy Trinity.
Relevant answer
Answer
HOT TAKE ANSWER:
A very tempting statement to make, since neoliberalism could be thereby reduced to a capitalist heresy. Liberalism is all about public goods and the rule of law. Neoliberalism is all about privatizing public goods (aka the commons) and legal institutions; and then eliminating legal powers that protect public interest, through capital's regulatory capture.
To declare that liberalism is divine means that neoliberalism 's regulatory capture and degradation of the rule of law are both heretical. Lovely!
But I think that's a bit too much wishful thinking, for a political philosophy that promotes human reason as the foundation of freedom.
The basic role of human reason is why, for example, the Introduction to John Stuart Mill's On Liberty is about the imminent ability of colonized people to decolonize and live by self-rule, and so the first chapter about how to ensure liberty is through a freedom of thought and expression. Liberalism means that people accomplish their self-governance (or assent to be governed) through dialogue and education. It is not until the final chapter of Mill's little book that finally explains the "harm principle" for guiding the legitimate use of legal power; the limits of personal freedoms.
If liberalism was a form of freedom that emanated from the Holy Trinity, then liberalism wouldn't be about the testing of ideas, but rather about divine revelation and hierarchy. Something like Mill's "harm principle" could be articulated by scripture or revelation or even dogma. Something like it, but not the same thing.
I think anyone who wants to follow your aphorism will be vexed to find that liberalism is based on (essays concerning*) human understanding.
But what a relief if neoliberalism is a heresy! Neoliberalism can't abide freedom of thought and expression, because the marketplace of ideas is axiomatically the "public" part of the rule of law. Thought and expression can't be free when regulatory capture gets around to capturing the means of talking to each other.
HOWEVER, your aphorism is probably valid from the point of view of a person of faith who wants to use a faith-based institution (like a mosque, a convent, a hermitage) as part of civil society. From inside that institution, looking outward at the local neighbourhood or at the international order, it makes sense.

*I am making a reference to Kant because liberalism, as a rights-based political philosophy, can be easily divided into two general theories: dignitarian and utilitarian foundations for human rights and the legitimate use of power.

A thin layer resembling a white callus was formed on the stem of a tomato plant transplanted from rooting food to soil. Is this dangerous for plant growth? No such situation was observed in the control plant.
Relevant answer
Answer
No, the white callus-like layer on the stem of a new transgenic tomato plant is typically not harmful to the plant itself. The formation of a callus-like layer on the stem of a transgenic tomato plant is a normal response to the tissue culture process used to generate the transgenic plant. This callus-like layer is not harmful to the plant, but rather a sign that the transformation process was successful and that the plant has ability to regenerate from the genetically modified cells. Once the transgenic plant is regenerated from the callus, the callus-like layer may remain visible on the stem as a white or off-white tissue. this tissue is not determined to the plant's growth or development, as long as it does not interfere with the vascular system or significantly restrict the stem's ability to expand as the plant grows.

"The apparent frequency threshold of 5.15 × 10⁴⁰ Hz at the 0-dimensional point is a significant theoretical threshold associated with the Big Bang scenario. This threshold signifies a high rate of oscillation or change within the theoretical framework, potentially representing a fundamental point where theoretical physics postulates a transition or event marking the origin of the universe. It serves as a hypothetical marker or boundary within theoretical discussions about the early universe and the conditions prevailing during the initial stages of the Big Bang.
At this frequency, the energy density or intensity of physical processes might be incredibly high, potentially pointing towards extreme conditions present during the cosmic inflation phase or at the onset of the universe's expansion. The theoretical implications of this threshold are that more advanced theories, such as quantum gravity, are needed to comprehend the physical phenomena occurring at such extreme scales."
This question contemplates the significance of exploring frequencies beyond the Planck threshold, particularly 5.15 × 10⁴⁰ Hz, associated with the 0-dimensional point within a theoretical framework linked to the Big Bang scenario. While the Planck length defines the smallest meaningful measurement of length within our current understanding and perception, the query raises a fundamental consideration about the mathematical or hypothetical significance of probing beyond this threshold.
The discussion questions the notion that the Planck length's limitation might solely stem from our current perceptual constraints beyond the Planck scale. It suggests that while our perception might be limited, mathematical explorations and theoretical frameworks could potentially extend beyond these perceived limitations. Therefore, the inquiry focuses on the theoretical and mathematical implications of investigating frequencies beyond the Planck threshold, questioning whether such explorations hold significance within the realm of theoretical physics and cosmology.
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Mr. Stam Nicolis ,
Thank you for engaging in the discourse regarding the derived frequency threshold and its association with the Big Bang scenario within the framework of theoretical physics and the Planck scale. Your perspectives prompt crucial considerations, and I'd like to provide additional insights into the theoretical aspects of this frequency threshold.
Theoretical Framework and Physical Imposition: Your earlier response suggested scepticism regarding the physical manifestation of entities vibrating at the derived frequency. It's crucial to emphasize that the theoretical derivation of this frequency isn't necessarily tied to asserting physical vibrations at that specific rate. Instead, it symbolizes a theoretical marker within the construct of the early universe, devoid of direct physical connotations.
Planck Scale and Interconnectedness of Units: The foundational aspects of Planck units reveal an intricate relationship between various fundamental physical constants, providing a theoretical framework where these units' values are interconnected. This interconnectedness forms the basis for understanding the fractionality of Planck time with respect to Planck wavelength and frequency's time period, demonstrating a theoretical relationship beyond immediate physical interpretation.
Derivation Process and Theoretical Significance: The derivation of the 5.15 × 10^40 Hz frequency at the 0-dimensional point employs mathematical equations based on fundamental constants, specifically Planck Time and Planck Frequency. It's imperative to note that this derivation represents a theoretical construct within the Big Bang scenario, signifying a pivotal phase without direct implications of physical entities vibrating at that precise frequency.
Theoretical Boundaries and Energy Conservation: This theoretical marker at the inception of the cosmos signifies a boundary where the energy density and extreme conditions during cosmic evolution might have reached an extraordinary state. It's crucial to reiterate that this exploration is rooted in theoretical constructs and energy conservation principles, aiming to conceptualize the universe's earliest phases beyond immediate physicality.
In essence, the exploration of this frequency threshold isn't about asserting direct physical vibrations at that frequency but rather delving into the theoretical implications within the framework of the Big Bang scenario and the Planck scale. It symbolizes a theoretical juncture, marking the inception of the universe, where extreme conditions prevailed, devoid of direct physical assertions.
Thank you for your engagement in this discussion, and I welcome further insights or discussions on this intricate topic.

Discovered in 2018 by pure chance.
Damage and Impacts: A bad reputation with the bank, loss of time and money, and effort with adverse effects are catastrophic for me, my business, and my health. The damage and impacts are still continuous.
Legal and Principal Parties
1) My ex-wife, Madam Raefa Mostafa Al-Mehelmy, whom I divorced in Egypt in January 2018 and has been separated from in an unfair California family court for almost six years now.
2) Wells Fargo, in which all my personal and commercial accounts are in which all bank transactions
3) The family court is very unfair and harsh in dealing with American citizens of Arab or Islamic origin
4) Notorious credit bureaus Sub-legal parties
Sub Legal Parties:
2 Lawyers in California and 3 Lawyers in Egypt
In one of my visits to the bank at the beginning of 2012، a deputy Waverly Branch OF WELLS FARGO, PALO ALTO, I opened a Visa Card account because I am one of the excellent customers in the bank. I told her I agree.
She said - We will know in just one minute. The response came with a refusal. We were surprised. I asked her to look for the reasons. Of course, the bank refused to know what the real reasons were against the bank's refusal and the intervention of the head of the branch, and with my strong insistence on knowing the reason for this very harsh refusal. Although I accepted that refusal, I learned from my life in America that refusal occurs in a semi-normal way with American citizens of Islamic and African origins as forms of legalized racism in most cases, unfortunately.
The vice president was in a challenging situation, and she referred me to another person in the bank to look behind the bank's denial. And in a very short time after, he drew himself and his arrogance on him. I saw a document with signatures on it. And he asked me with rudeness and false arrogance - are these your signatures? I told him: The signatures are not my Signature. I almost exploded from rage and held firm. He let go of the false arrogance and said to me in a moderate voice - Can you sign your signatures on a piece of paper so that I may recognize your Signature? I told him: The bank has my Signature. I said it to God alone and drew my Signature. He adjusted and said I am very sorry because you have an old problem with the bank. They opened two accounts for you and your wife a long time ago (my ex-wife was in Egypt in January 2018), and they have signatures other than your signatures in your house, which do not match your signatures now as well, and I am not able to give you the documents. I erupted, became mad, and asked the police to visit the bank. The bank's vice president realized the situation was not in the bank's favor.
I mean, I have been living with a filthy demon since 2012. No morals. There is no creed, no origin, and all my thoughts are on my children and grandchildren after me, God willing. And I screamed at the top of my voice, and my heart cried and told them that this is a significant crime as we know it in America.
I tried to get the documents from the vice president of the bank, who spoke urgently with the central bank and told them that I insisted on calling the police to prove the incident. I took a copy of it with the accounts with a forged signature on it and asked her what had happened with the bank employee. She said the bank fired her - I took the documents and left, sadness and sorrow fill my heart, and the rest will come, God willing, soon.
God suffices me, and He is the best agent.

Chapter 11: A Forged Signature
"The husband is the last one to know" is a French proverb. Although I am of Egyptian origin and live in America, this proverb applies. I say this because I only learned what my wife (now my ex-wife) did in 2012 by pure coincidence in 2018. Raefa Mustafa Al-Mehelmy was divorced in Egypt and is still separated from me before the "unfair" California Family Court. On one of my visits to Wells Fargo Bank, which contains all my personal and commercial accounts, at the Palo Alto branch, the Vice President of the Bank spoke to me about opening a Visa Card account, especially since I am one of the privileged customers. I agreed, and we began the usual procedures. Then, the response was confronted by a refusal. I asked her to let me know the reasons for the denial, but the bank management refused to disclose the cause. The head of the branch intervened, but it was in vain. I insist on finding out the reasons and opinions for this unfair refusal, despite my prior knowledge of the rejection caused by racism that was taking place against Americans of African and Islamic origins. Because of hateful and legalized racism, the bank's vice president is in an unenviable position. She referred me to another employee to discuss the reasons behind this unjustified refusal. In his office, I saw a document in front of him with many signatures. He tried to show off himself with arrogance.
Showing a grudge and malice, he asked," Do these signatures belong to you?" I categorically denied it and said that my signatures were forged. He asked me after he had given up his arrogance and spoke moderately:" If you, please put your Signature approved by the bank on this paper?" I told him that they had my authorized Signature already. However, in the end, I submitted to his request and put my Signature on a separate paper. After that, he said, "You have an old problem with the bank because of opening two accounts for you and your wife (my ex-wife now). We have papers with signatures that do not match your Signature." He pointed with his hand to the paper on which I drew my Signature. I tried to get a copy of these papers, but he refused vehemently, which forced me to break my calm, raged, and went crazy. I demanded that the police come to the bank. The bank's vice president sensed the situation's seriousness, and it was not in the bank's interest. Therefore, he acquiesced and gave me a copy of the documents with the forged signatures. I took the papers and left with a worn-out heart squeezed by grief and despair. What lousy luck put in my path this devil whom I honored by marrying and raising her family's status and hers, my ex-wife, Raefa Mustafa Al-Mehelmy. That woman has no morals, belief, origin, or loyalty to a man who does not fault that he trusted her and entrusted her with his money, house, and children.

Thank you for your reply.
You said, "It seems like someone made a mistake in 2012 when originally collecting signatures." Wells Fargo is part of the crime, and I have evidence of two accounts opened with the Forged signature. I also mentioned this crime caused damage and more criminal injustice by many legal parties, including Wells Fargo.

Hi everyone,
I'm planning an online experiment where participants will respond to audio instructions from firefighters. These instructions will carry various tones and emotions, like neutral/abrupt/urgent. We're using AI-generated voices to avoid any bias in the recordings. We've already explored AI tools, including those from Microsoft and Google. However, very few allow us to change the tone of the voice. The best voice we've found so far is from https://murf.ai/text-to-speech. Two version with different tones are attached here. Unfortunately, recent feedback suggests room for improvement.
What are your thoughts on the voice we're currently using? I would welcome any feedback, suggestions, or recommendations for alternative tools or methods for our project. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Dear Mr. Tong,
for creating TTS recordings and alter the voices used you could use llElevenLabs (hp: https://elevenlabs.io/). They allow you to control the:
- stability,
- clarity
and style exaggeration of the voices / recording. IMHO the results are very good and clear.
Also you could edit the recordings afterwards with free programs like Audacity. When adjusting the parameters of speed, frequency, and pitch, the audio output can be made to convey a greater sense of urgency.
Examples with your text are attached.

Which environmental factor will cause a plant shoot to grow in a direction other than straight up and force causes the plants roots to move in the direction opposite of the stem?
Relevant answer
Answer
Abstract from past and recent plant research and composition analysis:
Plants are able to sense and respond to their environment by changing their growth direction. This phenomenon is called tropism. There are different types of tropisms, such as phototropism (response to light), geotropism (response to gravity), hydrotropism (response to water), and thigmotropism (response to touch) (1).
Plant shoots usually grow in the opposite direction of gravity, which is called negative geotropism. This allows them to reach more light and air for photosynthesis and gas exchange. However, if the light source is not directly above the shoot, the shoot will bend towards the light, which is called positive phototropism. This allows the plant to maximize its exposure to light and optimize its energy production.
The main factor that regulates tropisms in plants is a hormone called auxin. Auxin is produced in the shoot tip and moves down the stem. When the shoot is exposed to light from one side, auxin accumulates on the shaded side of the stem, causing more cell elongation and faster growth on that side. This results in the shoot bending towards the light (2/3).
Plant roots usually grow in the same direction of gravity, which is called positive geotropism. This allows them to anchor the plant firmly in the soil and absorb water and minerals. However, if the soil is dry or poor in nutrients, the roots will bend towards a moist or rich area, which is called positive hydrotropism. This allows the plant to survive in harsh conditions.
The mechanism of geotropism in roots is similar to that in shoots, but with opposite effects. Auxin is also produced in the root tip and moves up the root. When the root is placed horizontally, auxin accumulates on the lower side of the root, causing less cell elongation and slower growth on that side. This results in the root bending downwards (4/5).
In summary, environmental factors such as light and gravity can cause plant shoots and roots to grow in different directions by affecting the distribution and action of auxin. Auxin causes uneven growth rates on different sides of the stem or root, resulting in bending or curvature. This allows plants to adapt to their surroundings and improve their chances of survival.

Investigating a method for elaborating a radical thinking of law would likely involve exploring alternative and non-mainstream approaches to legal theory and examining how these approaches might challenge and reshape traditional notions of law. Examining the consequences of the existence or absence of a research method for the elaboration and perception of political-legal problems marginalized in the Western tradition of the philosophy of law could involve analyzing the historical and cultural context of these marginalized problems and considering how different research methods and theoretical perspectives might impact our understanding and response to these issues.

Hi everyone,
I am currently in the process of reviewing feedback responses from my pilot survey (mixed methods with a mixture of closed and open ended questions).
One of the feedback that I have received from many of the respondents was they would like to choose more options in the question that I have asked e.g. Describe the type of service delivery that you provide (please pick up to three).
For this type of question, I don't think forced choice or check all that apply would be appropriate and I am trying to prevent people from satisficing answers for CATA. Most clinicians (targeted population) work with a variety of clients and my goal here is to get them to pick top three that they spent the most time in. I am not looking for them to rank based on my research question but what I am looking for is to see certain relationship e.g. respondents working in the education department seemed to be more confident in x. So basically in my case, all the options provided are of equal standing and what I am just looking for is for them to pick 3.
As mentioned, many of the respondents want to pick more than 3 and I am not sure what number is appropriate. I have tried looking for guidance by reading research articles related to survey designs and nothing relevant seemed to come up.
Basically my question is: does anyone know of any research evidence behind these multiple selection questions (why only three can be chosen) and if there is some formula to decide how many options the respondents should choose based on the number of options provided (e.g. if there are 6 options on the response stem choose only 2, if 12 choose 4 etc? ). If there is an expert in this field that has done specific research in this - please let me know of their names and I will look them up.
Thanks in advance.

Relevant answer
Answer
There is no clear-cut formula or rule when it comes to determining the number of options respondents should choose in multiple selection questions. It ultimately depends on the research question, the targeted population, and the nature of the options being provided. Some studies may require respondents to choose only one option, while others may allow them to select multiple options.
However, there are some best practices that researchers can follow when designing multiple selection questions. For example, researchers should ensure that the options provided are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive. This means that each option should represent a unique and distinct category, and that all possible categories are included in the options.
In terms of limiting the number of options respondents can choose, researchers can consider providing a clear rationale for why only a certain number of options can be selected. This can be explained in the survey instructions or in a pre-survey communication with respondents.
Overall, the key is to design questions that are clear, concise, and relevant to the research question at hand, while also taking into consideration the needs and preferences of the targeted population.

it depends on purpose of your acoustic analysis or method used i guess.
If you are trying analyze voice of the speaker, then ceptral measures may remain constant( CPP) or HNR as well. F0 may remain similar, but other parameter such as jitter and shimmer may be influenced by noise and revrbration of the room.
If it is speech of speaker is the focus of analysis, then intonation pattern , no of pauses, may remain unaffected by room changes.

Can any one tell me if we can use multiple stem loops primers in the same RT reaction (sybrbgreen)?
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, it is possible to use multiple stem-loop primers in the same RT-qPCR reaction using SYBR Green as the fluorescent dye. Stem-loop primers, also known as reverse transcription primers (RT primers), are used in RT-qPCR to amplify specific RNA targets and are designed to bind to the target RNA in a specific orientation, forming a hairpin structure. The use of multiple stem-loop primers in the same RT-qPCR reaction can allow for the simultaneous detection and quantification of multiple RNA targets in a sample.
To use multiple stem-loop primers in the same RT-qPCR reaction, you will need to design the primers to be specific for your target RNA and optimize their concentrations and reaction conditions. It's also important to consider the potential for cross-reactivity between the different primers and to ensure that they do not interfere with one another. In general, it is recommended to start with lower concentrations of each primer and gradually increase the concentration to optimize the reaction.
It's worth noting that using multiple stem-loop primers in the same RT-qPCR reaction can potentially increase the complexity of the experiment and may require more optimization and troubleshooting. It may be helpful to consult with a laboratory specialist or someone with experience in RT-qPCR if you are not familiar with this type of experiment.

Bakhtin's theory of polyphony refers to the term "polyphony" as a feature of narrative in which there are multiple voices independent of the author's voice. Since poetry is not based on narration, this term may not apply to poetry. I would argue that since the poet is not always the same as the speaker on some occasions, this could be a sign that poetry could be polyphonic, besides, we do have narrative poetry.
Relevant answer
Answer
From the Book of 'Song of Songs' in the Bible, which Swami Vivekananda read literally and recommended the same to be read only as such, to the reading of Christian theologians, we have ample reading of poetry in polyphonic tones in various languages, of which English is secondary to none. 'The Raven' and 'The Snake' are poems that can be read, understood and appreciated according to the age and knowledge level of the readers. If stories and novels dealing with the rule of tyrants despots have polyphonic overtones, the poets who felt suffocated under despots and theocratic rules have given vent to their feelings of desperation and suffocation in poems that have polyphonic layers of depth of meaning.

I want to compile a list of crops may have the black leave/stem/husk/grain trait. I have noticed rice and barley so far, maybe wheat as well.
Any other crops or plants that can display this trait from your knowledge? How about Brachypodium, maize, sorghum, oat, Setaria italica etc?
Please leave comments here and link to supporting evidence. Thanks.

Answer
Buckwheat is a family of false grain crops (Pseudocereal), just like quinoa, and buckwheat has nothing to do with wheat as some might think, each of which is a different kind of grain and the color of its grains is black or brown.
Wheat can be black seeds when you get the charred disease.
The injured wheat stables are dark in color and the emptying of the stamps is more than sound. The spike beans turn into a charred germ mass and when rubbed by hand or during harvest or study the mushroom germs fly in the form of black flash.
Blackleg rust disease is a serious disease affecting grain crops. Types of grains affected by this disease include bread wheat, hard wheat, malt, rye grass

We are trying to use stem-loop primers for miRNAs expression investigation.
The RT reaction was performed using treated total RNA and the RT primer stem loop specific for our targeted miRNA (miR-125a). The 10 µl of RT reaction mixture contained 1 µl of treated RNA (0.1 ng–5 µg), 1 µl of RT primer (5 µM) and 1 µl of U6 (reference miRNA) RT primer (5 µM), 1 µl of 10 mM dNTP Mix, 2 µl of reaction buffer, 0.5 µl M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase. The mixture was incubated at 25°C for 5 min, and then incubation was continued at 42°C for 60 min. The reaction was inactivated by heating at 70°C for 5 min.
The 10 µl PCR volume included 1 µl of RT product, 5 µl of SYBR Green real-time PCR Master Mix, and 1 µl of primer (forward and reverse, 1 µM each). The reactions were incubated at 95°C for 3 min, followed by 40 cycles of 95°C for 5 s, 62°C for 35 s.
results were not satisfying . Negative control revealed expression and samples did not.
Do you have any suggestions regarding the protocol whether reverse transcription or PCR?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi,
To begin with, I would suggest amplify U6 from 1ug of cDNA separately (like we normally do for mRNA or non-coding RNA), but use random hexamers.
I have used 200ng of total RNA for upto 3 multiplexed miRNA with excellent results. My reaction mixture (for cDNA) consists of 200ng total RNA, stem-loop primers - 3ul each, Qscript cDNA supermix - 4ul and water to make it upto 20ul.
The reaction cycle is 16-30min, 42-30 min, 85-5 min, 4- hold.
Following cDNA, the qpcr step involves SYBR green - 10ul, miRNA specific forward primer- 2ul, cDNA- 3ul, universal reverse primer - 2ul and dd water - 3ul.
The reaction cycle is standard qPCR with a dissociation curve.
You could look at these publications -

I understand non-associative learning is learning from a single stimulus. Many sources I can find show that habituation and sensitisation are forms of non-associative learning. Examples of single stimulus habituation are simple to imagine, but single stimulus sensitisation not so much. Many of the examples of sensitisation that people mention are actually examples of associative learning. I think the problem stems from the terminology, which suggests the following:
Desensitisation = opposite of sensitisation.
Habituation = opposite of sensitisation.
Therefore, habituation = desensitsation
I do not think that habituation is the same as desensitisation, but the terminology seems to be saying this is the case. I thought habituation was single stimulus learning, but desensitisation was the unlearning of a classically conditioned response (and therefore a type of associative learning).
Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Hello, I performed a GC-MS analysis for my plant extracts (stems and leaves) my questions are: 1- How can we identify the molecules if the probabilities are very close and we don't have a lot of information in the literature with which we can compare? 2- Can I compare my results with those of other species of the same family? 3- Can a molecule be observed at 2 different retention times? 4- A few molecules are present on the stems and absent on the leaves, is this normal?
Thank you in advance
Relevant answer
1- How can we identify the molecules if the probabilities are very close and we don't have a lot of information in the literature with which we can compare?
Plants extracts when analyzed by GCMS usually look very similar and their library probabilities are very low because the fragmentation pattern can be shared by multiple analytes. You can buy standards (at highest possible purity) and inject them into your system on at a time. This should allow you to first identify the retention time, and second to identify at least 3 fragments for each analyte that can serve as one quantifier and two qualifier ions.
2- Can I compare my results with those of other species of the same family?
I don't understand clearly what do you mean. You can't compare Apples to Oranges, because this won't be a fair comparison!
3- Can a molecule be observed at 2 different retention times?
Sure can! Again, compounds in plant extracts are very similar in their chemical structure and in many occasions you can see that different analytes produce similar fragments in the MS (fragments = molecules measured with certain m/z). Let's assume that there are two analytes (A and B) that are retained at different retention times on your column (assume RT for A is 2.3 min and for B is 3.2 min). If both of these two analytes produce a fragment of R group with m/z of 30 amu, then you'll see this 30 amu fragment twice, at 2.3 min and 3.2 min.
4- A few molecules are present on the stems and absent on the leaves, is this normal?
This is also true. In Cannabis flower, the THC compound for example is only found in the flower and can't be found in the stems.

I'm a 3rd-year psychology student at the University of East London and I'm conducting a 10-15 minute anonymous online survey to capture the everyday experience of Fibromyalgia patients and how they feel they are supported by their medical experts for my final year dissertation.
As leading voices for those who experience chronic illness and who may also be diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I would like to request your assistance in reaching those who often lack a voice, to allow me to capture their thoughts and feelings. Can you help me reach the 150 people that I need to complete the survey over the next two months.
All participation is anonymous and will be carried out under the strict guidelines of the British Psychological Society and the University of East London Ethics Committee.
As you are aware Fibromyalgia lacks robust research, I very much hope that gathering as many voices as possible through completion of the survey will be an opportunity to start addressing that.

I am trying to build a model that can produce speech for any given text?
i could not find any speech cloning algo that can clone the voice based on speech only so I turned to TTS(Text-to-speech) models. I had the following doubts regarding data preparation?
As per LJSpeech dataset which has many 3-10 sec recordings we require around 20 hours of data. It will be very hard for me to build these many 10 sec recordings. What would be the impact if I make many 5 min recordings. One could be high resource req (but how much), are there any others.
Also is there some way through which I could convert these 5 min recordings as per LJSpeech format

then i type data6=data, then when i use stem(data6), it is said that,
Error in stem(data6) : 'x' must be numeric
Relevant answer
Answer
The error appears to be caused by the fact that the data6 is not of the numeric class. Based on what I understand, you used SCAN and manually entered the values for data6 (which must be numerical). If so, what is the variable data6? And why did you choose data6=data? Data6 overrides whatever value you created in data6 using scan if it is another variable (and must not be a numeric one) and I assume that is why there is a problem. I would be glad to assist further if you need it. Thanks.

Hello,
I read some papers they used Pre-processing steps with text that will classify based on Sentiment Analysis.
My question is, can I use text Pre-processing techniques in the sentiment analysis classification, such as the Stop Words Removal and Stemming techniques? If can, it will cause Negations Words or Negation Prefix to be deleted, such as ( I am Not happy), will be (happy) after we use Stop Words Removal technique or (unlucky) will be (lucky) after we do Stemming process. That's mean the sentence that should classified into negative class will be classified into positive class. How to deal with that?
