Keeping Murphy's Law, the KISS principle, and Popper's Logic, right, left, and center, respectively, as well as the all-encompassing muses of insight, innovation, intuition, imagination, and insurrection (the 5 I's that holistically, through immersive-integrative multi-disciplinary contemplative approach identifies the noise or separates the wheat-from-the-chaff at the intersection of fact and fiction), and importantly and synergistically compose the whole that is greater than the sum of its parts -- in true Aristotelian fashion -- that govern progress and advance in human thinking through the synapse in all human endeavor, scientific and non-scientific.
I will put exactly 50-years of my part in one of the greatest mysteries ever faced by humans, and that will follow this species indefinitely to perpetuity, but with secure and fearless knowledge through application of principles or laws of theory and therapy, elimination of canonical or Institutional myths and assumptions, with a complete unwinding of this humungous Gordian knot of neuro-ophthalmology.
Da Vinci guarded against excessive use of words to describe any entity or anything. Migraine is an entity of excess -- incidence, words, data, statistics, analyses, meta-analyses, hypotheses, viewpoints, perspectives, Editorials, Medical Conferencing Abstracts, invited Lectures, hyper-splitting of nosology, and Letters-to-the-Editor, all claiming to know a slice of truth or presumed truth about migraine with a hyper-exponential absolutely unlimited untrammeled expansion. Quo vadis is not even a remote concept.
I, in the Third Millennium, describe the 'what' of migraine in 6-10 words, a definition that will last to perpetuity:
Migraine is the delayed outcome of an oculo-cephalic autonomic storm (causing the non-homonymous scintillating scotoma as well as the lateralizing headache). More succinctly, migraine is an oculo-cephalic autonomic storm.
Nothing is static. No theory or therapy cannot be improved. The core of migraine is here.
With the cause-effect mechanisms in migraine pathophysiology fully described, what has been missing for 6 millennia or more is presented right here and now.
The doors of perception for cluster headache and other indomethacin-responsive headaches are now open.
Reversal of the hyper-split classification of primary headaches is imminent, leading to a holistic comprehensive understand of a large section of medicine and neuroscience.

Bonjour,
1. Comment déterminer l' IC50 rélatif du test MTT par le GraphPad Prism 10 ? En effet, j'ai un résultat pour la dose maximal utilisée est de 60% de perte de viabilité et non pas à 100 %.
2. Sur prism est-ce que je dois mettre less données brutes (absorbances en triplicats) par chaque concentration ou utiliser les moyennes ? J'espère que vous avez une réponse pour ma question.
Merci
All the elementary particles are quantum states of photon and photon will have all these 900 quantum states in this nature.
If I am right , what is your comment on it?
If anybody feel that this result is meaning less. straight away please write that but with a reason. That comment will be useful for me to control my thinking.
At present I can not provide you any proof. Please do not insist me on reasoning also.
I am preparing a paper on it.
I learnt about "brain-storming" during my Masters in Technology (Human Resource Development and Management). In the world today, with advanced technology and resources, what is "Brain-storming" and what practices could be used to brain storm?- only legal and ethically moral viewpoints.
I had learnt in 1999-2001 that the best method to brain-storm was at a "round table meeting, where participants ask questions, one after another and one/many of those participants gives answers; the best answer is picked out of the many; on that topic of discussion.
Looking forward to your answers.

I am interested to calculate the peierls barrier for the movement of screw dislocation in BCC iron between two peierls vally. For this I am using nudged elastic band (NEB) method in LAMMPS.
We developed initial and final replicas using ATOMSK. However we have to create intermediate replicas having Kinks (between initial and final position) using linear interpolation.
Is there any mathematical relation for generating such replicas or any software that can be used for the same purpose.
Please leave your comments.
Thanks
What are Judeo Christian viewpoints for sentencing in the Criminal Justice?
We have applied natural logarithms to both sides, resulting in log-log models such as:
ln(Y) = β0 + β1*ln(X1) + β2*ln(X2) + ... + ε
Thus far, I have interpreted the coefficient β1 as indicating that a 1 percent in X1 corresponds to a β1 percent change (either increase or decrease) in Y.
Q1: Are there alternative methods for interpreting these changes in terms of units rather than percentages?
Q2: I'm curious about the feasibility of backtransforming using "Duan's Smearing Estimate" when X is not transformed?
Looking forward to your suggestions and comments on this matter.
Hello Everyone,
I conducted a study creating a pre-post one-group design (Pre-experimental) and stated only directional hypothesis (Alternative one). I received the comment from a reviewer as follows:
"Why did you prefer alternative hypothesis over the null hypothesis?"
I chose this unidirectional hypothesis because my Literature Reviews showed positive results in previous studies.
One statististician says it is okay. However, one expert says "Even if the review suggests a positive relation, we should work on the Null hypothesis".
I also ready a few research with only H1 for the same reason stated above.
Could there be any other explanations?
Please help me respond it with references.

Saleem

I got an invite and sent an abstract the following conference.
Now I am suspecting that it may be fake.
Do you have any comments?
And if it is fake, do I email them and ask them to withdraw my abstract ?

According to the journal presented by Neuwinger, Büschenfelde, and Kappert (2019), lactate dehydrogenase activity can falsely increase because of underfilling the blood specimen tube. Stated in the discussion part, "test results obtained in underfilled blood tubes should be communicated by the diagnostic laboratory with an attached comment pointing to the possibility of a falsely elevated test result". My question is derived from the mentioned part of the journal:
Should a medical laboratory scientist be in the situation of underfilling a blood specimen, what proper solution or protocol must be applied? Would the researcher's recommendation suffice?

Scientific results, at least those generated by individuals holding positions at universities or at publicly financed research institutes, should be openly accessible to all people worldwide.
Reality
In order to be able to access a publication, often a fee will be charged by the publisher. For open access publication the authors have to pay quite a lot of money, and many researchers are simply not able to achieve this. Certainly the main community of researchers is not at all happy with this situation.
During the last decades, publishing -- fortunately ! -- changed from costly print versions to much cheaper electronic versions. Meanwhile it is quite easy to set up an electronic journal and ... to make money with such a business ! Not rarely a publisher tends to not taking peer review seriously, since rejecting a submission means less income. Quite a number of journals and publishers have meanwhile even been classified as "predatory" and an author should better check carefully, to which journal she/he should submit her/his work.
Let me briefly report a case, in which I have been -- and I am still -- involved. The original publisher of the Journal of Generalized Lie Theory and Applications (GLTA) was Astralgo Science in Estonia. In those days I was asked to join the Editorial Board. Later this journal moved to Ashdin Publishing, then OMICS and finally Hilaris, alleged "predatory" publishers according to quite a number of sources in the internet. Apart from a strange description under "About the Journal", on the GLTA website
we read
"Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process)
Authors who are willing to publish their articles under this mode can make a pre-payment of $99 towards express peer-review and editorial decision. First editorial decision in 3 days and final decision with review comments in 5 days from the date of submission."
It should be obvious to any serious scientist, that this is not compatible with any reasonable peer review process. I asked the publisher to remove my name from the Editorial Board and at least one of the Editors-in-chief followed me. No response at all and no action. Lately GLTA even published total nonsense articles under the name of respectable scientists who had nothing to do with it !
Long ago I had rejected several submissions to GLTA that landed on my desk. But since many years I have not received anything anymore from the editorial office. The editors-in-chief should know, which of the published papers actually went through a peer review process.
Authors in general have to transfer copyright to the publisher and lose their own right in this way.
Why we should not pay publication fees and also not fees for open access publishing
As the above example in my opinion clearly shows, this could drive the publisher to decrease the level of scientific quality.
It is also not understandable that an author has to pay for keeping the right to her/his own work.
What shall we do ?
A major revolution in scientific publishing has been the creation of the arXiv by Paul Ginsparg in 1991. Of course, we also have to thank Donald Knuth for his ingenious TeX and Leslie Lamport for the somewhat more user-friendly LaTeX.
We should only take submission to a journal into consideration, if the publisher allows us to store a corresponding preprint version in the arXiv. There are even journals (like Communications in Mathematical Physics) which require that authors send their work to the arXiv prior to submission.
Posting in the arXiv also allows other scientists to send private comments to the authors, which offers a chance to improve their work. I'm typically waiting at least a month from arXiving a paper to submission to a journal.
Some authors send their work from one publisher to the next until it gets published somewhere, without prior posting in the arXiv. This occupies editors and referees and should not be considered a decent scientific behavior in my opinion. Isn't it a bit sneaky ?
The availability of a preprint version (which can even be updated) in the arXiv makes payment for open access publishing redundant, in my opinion.
How to maintain scientific quality ?
Sure, the arXiv is a great thing, but we do need services to maintain and increase scientific quality.
There are "overlay journals" like SIGMA, strongly connected with the arXiv. Perhaps this is a substantial part of the future of publishing.
In my opinion, a good quality of scientific publishing can in fact only be achieved via a good editorial board, which has full rights to decide about publication or rejection. There are certainly also questions concerning the way of constituting an editorial board, election of members, choice and quality of referees, etc. But this is a more restricted problem.
If we are asked to join the editorial board of some journal, we should think twice and check the journal carefully. If it makes a good impression, this does not mean that this will be so forever. In particular not if there is a publishing business behind it.
But the publishers need financial support to maintain servers, infrastructure, editorial services
First, we should not forget that also the arXiv needs funding ! It seems that the system works well presently, but perhaps the scientific community should support it even more.
In my opinion, scientific publishing, as a business and at least in the realm of journals, has no future. More public funding will be necessary to establish and maintain an independent academic publishing structure.
Clearly a lot has already been written about scientific publishing and the problems connected with it. I did not read it all, sorry ! But I do hope that I did not miss some of the most important aspects.
Take care !

If anything is physically existent, it can well be considered (1) as matter and energy, because these two are inter-convertible, and (2) as either matter or energy, since these are the two most basic states of physical existents.
But the mass of matter-energy is considered as a quantity, and energy too is considered as a quantity. In these cases, the former manner of considering matter and energy as physical existents is kept away from consideration. Instead, the circumstantially possible measure of matter-energy together is taken as mass, and the circumstantially possible measure of energy alone is considered as energy. Thus, mass and energy may be considered as a pair of quantities too.
How to differentiate these two aspects of doing physical science? How to reconcile them? Note that existent matter and energy as such are not separately and respectively being treated to correspond to the quantitative concepts of mass and energy. We have, as a result, many confusions in physics and in the philosophy of physics. Famously, the difficulty to define mass and energy as quantities might issue from the above discrepancy.
I invite your well-considered viewpoints. Merely holding that physics is such and that we need not ask such questions at all -- such is not the attitude from which the above questions are asked here. Do we have fundamental solutions for these questions?

6, 7,8,10,…
We start with any random number, say the first value in the sequence 6, and increment by one.
Our second value is seven.
For the third value, we incremented the previous value by one, therefore the third value is 8. We ensure that each new number in the sequence is not created by adding or subtracting previous numbers or groups of numbers in the given sequence.

Dear Editor,
please, remove the unnecessary entering information about the Scand Psychoanal Rev from the title of my paper: Heidegger and Freud - A comment on....The plain title of the paper, such as mentioned, (Heidegger and Freud - A comment...etc) should be kept. The present long explanation about the publication forum looks rather odd before the real title of the paper.
Many thanks for your help,

I have a research using MD simulation (using GROMACS) for proofing the binding stability of protein-protein interaction. To measure whether the interaction is stable, I wish to employ binding affinity analysis.
I am familiar with PRODIGY, a binding affinity predictor using network of contacts at the interface of a protein–protein complex to help calculate it (https://elifesciences.org/articles/07454). However, I realized that PRODIGY is usually being used for static binding affinity and not typically used in dynamical systems.
Regardless, I have successfully employed scripts that: (1) extracted PDB files from the trajectory file (xtc), and (2) calculate each PDB file's binding affinity using PRODIGY. I plotted the binding affinity vs time and got this as a result.
Is this a correct approach to binding affinity analysis? or should I employ different analysis?
I greatly appreciate your insight and comments regarding this topic. Thankyou.

I submitted a paper for review in Management of Environmental Quality (Emerald). The first review took 4 months, and the 2 reviewers recommended minor corrections, though the editor settled for major corrections. I made the corrections and resubmitted the paper. This time around, the review process took another 4 months, summing up to 8 months under this journal. The second comment from the editor came with a rejection without any comments. I wrote the editor for any feedback or reviewer comments, but until today there has been no response. I do not know what might have happened.
I am a bit confused with a reviewer's comment.
"If the method for selecting a purposive sample. The selected group is not called the control group but it is called a comparison group."
Few researchers ever ask women in the population to comment on or confirm the theories that promote their supposed responsiveness. Alfred Kinsey & Shere Hite were the only ones brave enough to try to bring some realism to our understanding of female responsiveness. I am fighting for the recognition of those research findings which support my own experience. I want to see sexologists behave like scientists by producing new research to confirm or refute previous research rather than ignoring it.
I received comments from a reviewer on my manuscript having RCT design and I compared pre and post data by pair t- test. The reviewer commented:

Superposition is real, I know this. It's usually represented as containing contradictions (opposite spins of electrons). Therefore it's claimed that Aristotle's Logic does not work here. But is this "superposition thing" a quality or an explanation of a quality?
What if this particle disappers and appears so quickly that, and we're saying (while it's disappered) "it's in a superposition state" ? I mean, containing contradictions is OK for non physical being, because there is no existence at that moment? But when electron exists, it has only one spin. Is it possible to explain superposition in such way? Are there any similar comments by physicists?

After 485 days of review, no comments were made on the content of the manuscript, and the manuscript was rejected only on the grounds that it did not meet the scope of the journal. Here are the only responses.
Dear Professor XXXXX,
Thank you for submitting your manuscript to International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences.
I regret to inform you that the reviewers recommend against publishing your manuscript, and I must therefore reject it. My comments, and any reviewer comments, are below.
We appreciate you submitting your manuscript to International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences and thank you for giving us the opportunity to consider your work.
Kind regards, Professor XXX XXXX Editor-in-Chief

Please bear with me as I provide some necessary background before getting to my point.
As a narcolepsy patient advocate, one of the ways I try to help my fellow narcoleptics is by attempting to increase awareness among clinicians of the many subtle yet significant effects of disturbed orexinergic signaling in people with narcolepsy (PWN). Since patient anecdotes are not data and therefore can be conveniently (and often quite reasonably) dismissed, it seems to me that the best way to do that is from within the ‘system’, i.e. by making my case through publishing peer-reviewed commentary. Several years ago I was able to have a piece I wrote published in a mainline, respected journal (see my profile). I’m sure you’ll understand that it is not self aggrandizement to point out that it is no small feat for a self-educated ‘hobby neurologist’ with no degree of any kind to pull that off.
There are many things about narcolepsy, some of which are undocumented or poorly so, that I want to bring to the attention of clinicians, especially primary care practitioners. However, in addition to being a PWN (Person W/ Narcolepsy, the singular form in this case) I am also older now. My best thinking days are behind me, so it is difficult for me to write clearly about these very complex matters that I only have a superficial understanding of.
I recently completed an article that I wanted to have published. Admittedly, it isn’t my best work and would have benefited greatly from having a co-author, but the point it makes is an important one and I wanted to get it out there. I tried submitting it here and there, but my options were limited by the very steep APC’s that most journals are charging these days. I simply can’t afford to pay those fees and couldn’t find a journal that would waive them for me. So, I put it aside.
One day I got another one of those e-mails that all of you get, from a publisher soliciting contributions. Yes, even I get them. Usually I ignore those, but this time I wrote back. I said that I understood that they were looking for paying customers. I explained that I am not funded by any organization and can’t personally pay the APC, but if they would waive the fee I would be interested in further discussion. To my surprise they agreed. End of the story: the article appeared today in the online journal (link at the end).
Now, if you investigate this publisher you will find them to be known as predatory. However, while they didn’t need to be very nice to me, they were. They agreed to waive their fee and publish my article and I in turn agreed to say (deservedly) nice things about them in my social media. Hence this post.
I’m sure that professional scientists and clinicians have many reasons for holding such publishers in disdain. Perhaps too much so.

Biosensors are developing day by day due to their applications. Each of these sensors is used in specific fields. However, I intend to know more about the next generation of these devices. Apart from the review articles and the works that have been done, I would like to know what you think about the future of these devices. For example, what features will they have? Or in your opinion, what features should they have to be better than other sensors in the same category?
Write me any ideas or comments you have about this. Thank you
I am wondering if there are any particular rules or special terms with respect to the research work you would like to publish on Research Gate ? For example, must it be peer-reviewed before it is presented ? I would really appreciate your comments on this. Thanks in advance.

Dear Tran Van Dua
I read your article:
Development of a new multi-criteria decisionmaking method
My comments:
1- In the abstract you say: “That difference is reflected in the fact that when applying this method, the decision maker does not need to normalize the data nor determine the weights for the criteria”
Effectively, since everything is reduced to three integers 1, 0, -1, it is obvious that you don’t need normalization, since they are no units of measure.
However, you give the same number to a difference of say 3 and 8 than another between 0.5 and 4500. I don’t think that this is correct.
2- You say “In each example, the result of ranking the alternatives using the CURLI-2 method has been compared with those using other different MCDM methods.”
This comparison is irrelevant, it does not have any meaning and there it could also be due to coincidence
3-“The best alternative determined when using the CURLI-2 method always coincides with the use of existing MCDM methods”
This sounds strange, because this normally does not happen with other methods, when different MCDM methods, addressing the same problem, yield different results, including the best alternative, and you state it explicitly. I don’t understand why CURLI-2 is the exception, although could be, if you explain its algorithm.
4- In page 1 “Thus, it can be seen that when using the method of group four, the decision maker will eliminate the difficulties in data normalization as well as determining the weights for the criteria”
Normally, you may eliminate normalization, but not criteria weighting because that means that all criteria have the same importance, and in general each one has a different importance.
5- In page 3 “The result of ranking the alternative done by this method will be used to compare to the ranking result done by CURLI-2 method”
And what these comparisons prove? Nothing
6- In page 4 “Add the scoring matrix for each criterion”
In my opinion, computing each criterion independently and further adding up results is incorrect. Why?
Because the decision matrix represents a system where everything is related to something else. Therefore, you can have criterion C6 that receives input from criterion C2. How do you compute the contribution of C2 on C6?
I hope that these comments can be of help

During peer review, an invited reviewers is suggested to finish reading all of a manuscript from its title to supplimentary materials, so that the comments made will not embarrass the authors who have spent so much time writing. But in my own opinion, the reviewers should do more than just 'read through' so that the comments made by him/her will less likely to miss out information and embarrass the authors. Reviewers may read the article multiple times to be familiar with the contents, and make objective and detailed comments as possible. What are your opinions?

This is my thesis topic:Management of logistics in the large distribution sector in Morocco.
And Here is my prob.: To what extent do the operational strategies developed and policies adopted by promoters of large distribution in Morocco allow for competitively managing the logistics chain of large distribution?
And here are the given hypotheses:
• Hypothesis 1: Close collaboration with suppliers could secure supplies, resolve the plethora of supply chains, guarantee merchandise returns, and professionalize logistics personnel.
• Hypothesis 2: Investing in human resources could enhance the distribution chain's supply, storage performance, order preparation, and shipment, fostering staff loyalty and better customer service.
• Hypothesis 3: Inadequate stock positioning in the logistics chain, improper facility localization, and their inflexibility to support a wide range of products and varying volumes might be the cause of the lack of competitiveness among large distribution companies.
• Hypothesis 4: Poor stock management could be the reason behind high logistics costs in large distribution.
• Hypothesis 5: Poor order preparation and shipment conditions might be among the main causes of mismanaging the customer experience.

What are the possibilities of applying generative AI in terms of conducting sentiment analysis of changes in Internet users' opinions on specific topics?
What are the possibilities of applying generative artificial intelligence in carrying out sentiment analysis on changes in the opinions of Internet users on specific topics using Big Data Analytics and other technologies typical of Industry 4.0/5.0?
Nowadays, Internet marketing is developing rapidly, including viral Internet marketing used on social media sites, among others, in the form of, for example, Real-Time marketing in the formula of viral marketing. It is also marketing aimed at precisely defined groups, audience segments, potential customers of a specific advertised product and/or service offering. In terms of improving Internet marketing, new ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0/5.0 are being implemented. Marketing conducted in this form is usually preceded by market research conducted using, among other things, sentiment analysis of the preferences of potential consumers based on verification of their activity on the Internet, taking into account comments written on various websites, Internet forums, blogs, posts written on social media. In recent years, the importance of the aforementioned sentiment analysis carried out on large data sets using Big Data Analytics has been growing, thanks to which it is possible to study the psychological aspects of the phenomena of changes in the trends of certain processes in the markets for products, services, factor markets and financial markets. The development of the aforementioned analytics makes it possible to study the determinants of specific phenomena occurring in the markets caused by changes in consumer or investor preferences, caused by specific changes in the behavior of consumers in product and service markets, entrepreneurs in factor markets or investors in money and capital markets, including securities markets. The results from these analyses are used to forecast changes in the behavior of consumers, entrepreneurs and investors that will occur in the following months and quarters. In addition to this, sentiment analyses are also conducted to determine the preferences, awareness of potential customers, consumers in terms of recognition of the company's brand, its offerings, description of certain products and services, etc., using textual data derived from comments, entries, posts, etc. posted by Internet users, including social media users on a wide variety of websites. The knowledge gained in this way can be useful for companies to plan marketing strategies, to change the product and service offerings produced, to select or change specific distribution channels, after-sales services, etc. This is now a rapidly developing field of research and the possibilities for many companies and enterprises to use the results of this research in marketing activities, but not only in marketing. Recently, opportunities are emerging to apply generative artificial intelligence and other Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies to analyze large data sets collected on Big Data Analytics platforms. In connection with the development of intelligent chatbots available on the Internet, recently there have been discussions about the possibilities of potential applications of generative artificial intelligence, 5G and other technologies included in the Industry 4.0/5.0 group in the context of using the information resources of the Internet to collect data on citizens, companies, institutions, etc. for their analysis carried out using, among other things, sentiment analysis to determine the opinion of Internet users on certain topics or to define the brand recognition of a company, the evaluation of product or service offerings by Internet users. In recent years, the scope of applications of Big Data technology and Data Science analytics, Data Analytics in economics, finance and management of organizations, including enterprises, financial and public institutions is increasing. Accordingly, the implementation of analytical instruments of advanced processing of large data sets in enterprises, financial and public institutions, i.e. the construction of Big Data Analytics platforms to support organizational management processes in various aspects of operations, including the improvement of customer relations, is also growing in importance. In recent years, ICT information technologies, Industry 4.0/5.0 including generative artificial intelligence technologies are particularly rapidly developing and finding application in knowledge-based economies. These technologies are used in scientific research and business applications in commercially operating enterprises and in financial and public institutions. In recent years, the application of generative artificial intelligence technologies for collecting and multi-criteria analysis of Internet data can significantly contribute to the improvement of sentiment analysis of Internet users' opinions and the possibility of expanding the applications of research techniques carried out on analytical platforms of Business Intelligence, Big Data Analytics, Data Science and other research techniques using ICT information technology, Internet and advanced data processing typical Industry 4. 0/5.0. Most consumers of online information services available on new online media, including social media portals, are not fully aware of the level of risk of sharing information about themselves on these portals and the use of this data by technological online companies using this data for their analytics. I am conducting research on this issue. I have included the conclusions of my research in scientific publications, which are available on Research Gate. I invite you to cooperate with me.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
What are the possibilities for the application of generative AI in terms of conducting sentiment analysis of changes in the opinions of Internet users on specific topics using Big Data Analytics and other technologies typical of Industry 4.0/5.0?
What are the possibilities of using generative AI in conducting sentiment analysis of Internet users' opinions on specific topics?
And what is your opinion on this topic?

SCOPE and FOCUS:
- The variety of differing scientific opinions regarding the causes of 20th/21st century global warming and climate change is somewhat surprising, considering that Physics and Mathematics are the common language for describing them, and considering that Physics and Mathematics are the oldest and most mature of all the hard sciences. Nevertheless, here we are. This discussion is intended to be an open forum for sharing and discussing differing alternative concepts about the sources and causative factors for the earth's temperature and climate history, from ancient times up to the present day, including predictions for the future. Ideally, these discussions will be evidence-based. Discussions about the process of conducting good science are also appropriate.
RESPECT for PARTICIPANTS:
- It is also surprising how emotional this subject has become for many people. Pejorative name-calling and labelling abound within many internet forums. Please — such things are not welcome here. Pejorative language is not conducive to successfully resolving alternative viewpoints.

Dear research community
My knowledge of physics is not sufficient enough to ansver the question so I would turn to you for an answer The question is:
What happens to subatomic particles accelerated to the speed of light? Do they change their properties, disappear from the "observable spot", emit radiation etc.? Your professional comments are highly valued Thank you
Sometimes we are too much optimistic. Try to ignore small problems, thinking that they have no potentials to do any harm. such thinking gives us self-satisfaction and we continue doing nothing. Feel no pressure inside to understand the issue and their remedy. Ultimately no new creation.
Looking for your valuable comments and suggestions :)

Hello everyone. I have question about obtaining data from Internet.
In my research I will analyze comments from websites and social media platforms. And I am searching for applications/apps/technologies other tools to download comments from Internet to my computer.
Do you know any tools/apps to download comments for free?
There is around 10.000 comments and if I would copy/paste one by one it would take me a lot of time. I want to obtain data quickly.
Do you have any suggestions for me?
Thank you so much for help.

I am currently conducting a cross-sectional study investigating the impact of different orthodontic appliances on oral health-related quality of life. The study is divided into four groups: two different orthodontic appliance groups, a non-treatment group, and a completely healthy patient group. The outcome is based on questionnaire scores, which are continuous variables.
The study has been submitted, and we have received a major revision request. One of the reviewers commented: "Sample size calculation formation is not suitable for a comparative study among >2 groups."
In the initial design, we planned to use One-way ANOVA for result testing, considering the outcome as continuous. However, since the questionnaire scores did not conform to a normal distribution, we eventually used the Kruskal-Wallis (K-W) test. The formula currently used for sample size calculation is: n=(2(z_α+z_β )^2*σ^2)/δ^2.
I am seeking advice on how to address the reviewer’s comment concerning the sample size calculation in a comparative study among multiple groups with a non-normally distributed continuous outcome. Any suggestions or references to guide the appropriate sample size calculation method or statistical approach for this study would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your valuable input!

Here are some tips on how to deal with academic snobs:
- Don't take it personally. It's important to remember that academic snobs are often insecure about their own intelligence and accomplishments. They may try to put others down in order to make themselves feel better. Try not to take their comments personally and don't let them get to you.
- Stay confident. Remember that you are just as smart and capable as anyone else. Don't let academic snobs make you doubt yourself or your abilities. Remind yourself of your own accomplishments and strengths.
- Don't engage with them. The best way to deal with an academic snob is to ignore them. If they try to engage you in a conversation, simply walk away or politely excuse yourself. There is no need to waste your time and energy on someone who is trying to make you feel bad.
- Seek support from others. If you are being harassed or bullied by an academic snob, talk to a trusted friend, family member, or professor. They can offer you support and advice on how to deal with the situation. You can also report the behavior to your department chair or other appropriate authority figure.
Here are some additional tips:
- Kill them with kindness. Be polite and respectful to academic snobs, even if they are not to you. This will show them that you are not bothered by their behavior and that you are the bigger person.
- Have a sense of humor. If an academic snob makes a snide comment, try to laugh it off. Don't let them get to you.
- Don't try to compete with them. Academic snobs are often competitive and driven to succeed. Don't try to compete with them on their own terms. Focus on your own goals and don't worry about what they are doing.
- Be yourself. Don't try to change who you are to fit in with academic snobs. Be proud of your unique qualities and don't let anyone make you feel inferior.
Remember, academic snobs are not worth your time or energy. Focus on your own work and your own goals, and don't let them get to you.
