Questions related to Confusion
Hello,
I received some GWAS results. There is a column for SNP, position, REF/ALT allele, p value, SE, which is pretty straightforward. However, I am confused about the column titled 'Effect', they are values ranging from -1.4 to 1.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
I'm working on carcinogen induced colorectal cancer. I have induced cancer in mice, and the tumors have been induced in the colon as well as in the rectum which is visible externally. I'm also working on human colorectal cancer cell lines in vitro.
I'm confused in this situation, if it is necessary to perform Western blot of drug-treated cell lines, the tumors formed in the colon and the tumors formed in the rectum region.
This sounds like too much work to go with.
Can someone please suggest any way out in this situation !
Hi,
I've got myself totally confused and need some help.
I have two univariate time series that represent the area of land (in m2) changing from natural to non-natural at both yearly and quarterly intervals over a 12 year period [12 observations in one - 48 in another]. My interest is to identify whether a change in the area occurred following a shift in policy.
I therefore, have looked at using an Interrupted Time Series approach to investigate. Initially I just compared segmented linear regressions as a way of getting an indicator of whether change occurred. However, my data is non-stationary and I am aware, therefore unsuitable for regression in its current format.
Whilst I understand that I can de-trend the data to make it stationary, I worry that such would damage the output. My issue is really confusion around stationarity.........I believe that I am trying to measure the trend and assume that by making the data stationary, the trend [thing i am trying to assess] will no longer be accounted for......
Could someone help to explain to me how stationary data would allow the identification of a change in the trends during the periods both prior to and after the implementation of the policy?
Hello. I am new to cell culture work. May I know whether these small black dots are contaminants or just cell debris? It's quite confusing because they are not moving. This is different from the contamination issue that I used to encounter because I can surely confirm that my cells are contaminated when these small dots move which means bacteria. FYI, this is HEK293T cells.
Hi Research Gate people!
I am trying to determine the sample size, power and alpha boundary needed for my interim analysis for a registered report in a psych journal. I have read the paper by Lakens (2014) on sequential analysis, but am still pretty confused and would appreciate if anyone could link me up with any published social psych papers that has used sequential analyses in their design.
Cheers!
Hello everyone,
I am writing a systematic review about if X experimental group has superior effect than Y comparison group on outcome.
Please note that the lower the scores of the outcome, the better the results are.
to answer if there is superiority: I wanted to calcuate the effect size of each study using Hedgs g formula. I used the Comprehensive Meta-analysis (CMA) software to calculate these for me with visualization. However, I was confused when the g values were negative, so I did not know whether this shows that X group has superior effect than Y or how do I know?
other question is, some studies reported median of the outcome, instead of mean, I searched a lot how to calcuate the effect size in this case, but I did not find any. I look forward very much to your suggestions.
Best,

In this image, d orbital splitting at fermi energy of (a) Mn atoms in bulk (b) Mn atoms at the interface of MgO (c) Mn atoms above the interface of thin film. CF (SOC) denotes Crystal field (Spin orbit coupling). I'm little confused about the eg and t2g as in this image, there are group of three in (a). Whats the explainantion for this?
Hello Everyone
I have a bit confused about voltage mode vs average current controller for buck converter. In common perception, average current mode controller has better transient response, but in mathematical approach ,it seems average current mode controller does not have any advantage for transient voltage regulation.
thanks for your interest
I think there is a big confusion between qualities / universals and physical properties. We speak of properties of things in physics, chemistry, biology, etc. In my opinion, properties are sets of general qualities. But are these qualities in physical science and the qualities in philosophy the same? Are there essential differences between them in science and in philosophy?
WHY EXACTLY WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY: Phenomenal Ontological Commitment (POC) as the Solution
Raphael Neelamkavil, Ph.D. (Quantum Causality), Dr. phil. (Gravitational Coalescence Cosmology)
The question of the connection between Reality-in-total and language is a question of justification for what we theorize. Justification is possible only via theory. The fact of attainment of grades of adequacy of theory with Reality means also that no theoretical attainment of justification is absolutely adequate – and the inadequate aspect is a mere virtuality without foundation in Reality. Whatever is not without foundation in Reality and its parts is a pure virtual world (PVW), and theory and related stuff based on Reality and its parts is a tenable virtual world (TVW).
Moreover, the working and results of both scientific and philosophic theory is always intertwined with (1) directly observable existents, (2) directly observable existents termed unobservables, and (3) even indirectly non-observable non-existents. Virtual worlds about (1) and (2) are TVWs and those about (3) are PVWs. How to establish the said foundation so as to distinguish between the two sorts of virtuality and to discern between (2) and (3)? I suggest some simple ways here. The general motive of all discourse being the best possible statement of truths of all that are the case and are possible in the future, there is nothing wrong here in evaluating the extent of attainment of adequacy in terms of PVW and TVW in quantum physics, cosmology, etc. in order to discover whether any theory is a PVW or a TVW. This will help establish the criteria of objectually tenable and intersubjectively accepted objectivity in science and all other sorts of discourse.
The discussion on virtual constructs and unobservables begins with a short rational introduction as to why science and its paradoxical or non-paradoxical postulations need an overhaul based on the concept of phenomena that they use. Thereafter will be shown why science has some successes even though science with its methods, procedures, and conclusions is never perfect enough and will constantly be revised. I suggest why there are successes in the quantum-physical system even though there are misplaced identifications of concreteness in quantum physics. Thereafter I proceed to define the concepts of virtual constructs (TVW and PVW) and unobservables (existent and non-existent) in terms of ontological, connotative, and denotative universals.
Just as in all thinking in general and in linguistically or symbolically formulated logical and mathematical expressions, so also in physics (and in other sciences in their own manner), there is a constant recourse to conceptual reification of modes of conceiving existent processes and their phenomena. The modes of conceiving and reification change both epochally and intra-epochally: This is a continuous process.
At times the sciences forget that, at any moment of data collection, conceptualization, hypothesis formation, experiment, and theorization, the “phenomena” in respect of sensation, data, thought, etc. are the showing-themselves of existent processes from within some – and not all – layers, parts, and aspects within the existent processes. It is totally out of place to substitute the realities with the phenomena, although the phenomena, insofar as they not nothing, are also existent processes. The phenomena are just a few selections from a few select layers of the reality considered. The said conceptual reification of phenomena into the whole object behind the phenomena happens by conclusions like the false identification of many statistically (or even imaginatively) constructed physical concepts of ways of explanation of phenomena, e.g., the wave function as representing at times mathematical waves and at times mathematical particles and then as the very reality of the external processes (not even of the layers of the processes) behind the actual phenomena.
Even today, many physicists and other scientists conveniently speak of observing phenomena and take phenomena variously as the objects observed or as the factual states of affairs behind the phenomena. They are not too much at fault, because they need not be in a position to distinguish between the ontological and epistemological aspects of reality, layers of reality, phenomena, data, sensation, perception, etc. For this reason, naturally, some philosophers and philosophers of science take phenomena as the objects observed. At times they commit a similar mistake by taking phenomena as reproducible factual features. If they are factual features, they should be either hypotheses or results from previous theory. If none of these, it would look as if the phenomena were closer to the theory to be produced than its data are:
phenomena are stable, reproducible, factual features of the world, for example:
. lead melts at 327.5°C., or
. pressure increases with temperature for most fixed-volume gases;
• data are records produced by measurement, that are intended to represent the target phenomena, for example:
. a series of temperature readings as a piece of lead is heated up, or
. a series of pressure readings as a gas confined in a container is heated up. [Le Bihan 2017: 113]
If factual features are phenomena, these are some of the conclusions or interim conclusions within some theories. That is, for Soazig Le Bihan, who declares that she follows James Woodward and Bogan and adopts this view of theirs as straightforward and uncontroversial, puts the data epistemologically as prior to the phenomena.
Armond Duwell, for example, speak of “understanding phenomena”, “gravitational phenomena”, “quantum phenomena”, “investigating phenomena”, “phenomena associated with the two-slit experiment”, “very different representations of those phenomena”, “how these representations represent the two-slit phenomena”, “correlation phenomena associated with the EPR situations”, “one wants to represent quantum phenomena well”, “could use Bell’s theorem to explain how the phenomena and the adequacy conditions bound the possibility space”, “the modal view of understanding that no-go theorem generally increase our understanding of phenomena”, “the general theory of relativity (GTR) affording better understanding of gravitational phenomena than Newtonian theory [of, sic.] gravitation”, “an account of gravitational phenomena”, “representations of phenomena”, “false theories can afford modal understanding of phenomena insofar as they meet the adequacy conditions under consideration”, etc. [Duwell 2018: 1-4] without first admitting that the phenomena are just a few showings that arise not from the whole of the object but only from some layers of it. we do not need any extra experiment to know this as the universal case.
Later, referring to Le Bihan [2017], Duwell says: “One might distinguish between understanding phenomena and understanding the world. Understanding the world entails understanding the corresponding phenomena, but not vice versa.” [Duwell 2018: 4]
Yet another fact: It is also a common tendency among scientists and philosophers to often refer to any fact that is the case in nature, any event, as a phenomenon. That is, for some existent “things” need not be phenomena, but instead, some facts, features, and events. This too is a highly imprecise use of the notion. Take, for example, a report about the work of Erwin Schrödinger and Ludwig Boltzmann: “To our knowledge, Schrödinger’s private notes from the late 1910s […]. He noted that fluctuation phenomena could provide “a new proof of the relative validity of Boltzmann’s conception as opposed to [general] thermodynamics. Absolutely valid theories do not exist.” (transcribed in Hanle, 1975, p. 268)” [footnote 5 in: Joas and Katzir 2011: 44] Strictly speaking, fluctuation is not a phenomenon. From some layers / parts / aspects of the fluctuation there emerge some phenomena, “showings”, which create and further continue to affect the sensation and perception by embodied consciousnesses and the same happens via sensation and perception helped by apparatuses. This works as feed for further feeling, thought, action, and theory. Instead of such a notion of phenomena, the various haphazard notions of phenomena will naturally make it difficult for theory to attain their desired result.
Now arise the questions: How can one observe phenomena before, and instead of being subject to or exposed to, the phenomena from the various layers of objects or events – directly or by use of apparatuses? What are observable and to what extent are they observable: objects and events or the phenomena that are just the showings of the objects? I hold that observation of anything existent is fully through the phenomena proper and to the extent that the phenomena permit sensations and understanding. The understanding over and above this is via theoretical apparatuses and methods. According to van Fraassen, observability does not have anything to do with existence. [van Fraassen 1980: 19] He may have meant it (1) broadly: that it is impossible to contain the existent thing or event within us in the name of observing an object or event, because the phenomena are both the objects or events mixed with what are already within us in relation to the objects or events (“is, indeed, too anthropomorphic for that”), or (2) narrowly: that some or a lot of what a thing is, could be captured in observation (“it may still have much to do with the proper epistemic attitude to science”). [van Fraassen 1980: 19]
With respect to the observational detection of theoretically predictable unobservables, beyond the objectivity of the objects derived from sufficient intersubjective acceptance, the objectual aspect should be sought, which should obtain in terms of the Extension-Change Categories of all existents. This is what is most necessary in order to navigate through the phenomena in the narrow sense and avoid the confusions that will certainly be caused by following the broad sense that involves in mistaking factual features, events, etc. for phenomena. In the very phenomena related to (behind) the theory there should be something existent, without which no theory and experiment can be realistic and sensibly differentiable from the theories engendered from within the broad sense of phenomena. This is a minimum condition for the ontological commitment that a theory can hold, because even after respecting this Phenomenal Ontological Commitment (POC), the theory should follow other logical and methodological guarantees for success. This is a clear first objectual condition for the possibility of tenability in theory. With the objectual conditions of Extension and Change, which should be present in the phenomena themselves, as given by POC, we discuss the quantum-physical case below.
If at two different experimental contexts the electromagnetic propagation exhibits either the wave nature or the particle nature, these two natures cannot be termed the phenomena, but instead, as some finalized or interim conclusions within the theory. One cannot call these conclusions as objective by presuming that “objective” conclusions indicate existence. For existence to be accessed, the objectual criteria should be fulfilled in the phenomena. It should be possible to objectually imagine the existence of the phenomena. This is possible in the given case only in the wave-like motion of the phenomena by elongated particles. Only such can exist within the phenomena. This too is a conclusion about the manner of existence of the phenomena, without which the phenomena cannot exist.
No physicist needs to take this as a violation of experimental results, but instead, as a confirmation of the fact that objectually no absolute wave or particle (as mathematical objects) can exist in nature, and that any wave-like or particle-like motion must only be partially a wave or point. No wave or point can exist partially in an existent phenomenon. Hence, let us term the real electromagnetic unit as a really existent wavicle. A wavicle can hit the sides of the double slit at one of the various stages of motion of the wave shape or form of the motion, if the aspect of motion alone is taken into consideration. At the hitting it can exhibit more of the particle shape. The wave nature will be exhibited at other times represented by the more elongated aspects of the wave form of motion of the energy-carrier. Instead, at all times it should be almost in wave form, because even when there can be alterations of thickness within it, it is already thick enough not to be termed an absolute wave.
The concepts of wave and point-particle in physics are purely mathematical concepts as they are treated in the quantum-physical context of mathematical representation and calculation. In one context we posit the mathematical, absolutely non-extended, wave nature and in another the purely point-like defined, non-extended, particle nature. The fight and the resulting dilemma therefrom continue to mislead even after more than a century and will continue so into yet another. The conclusion that some physicists settle for is that energy propagations have both the natures, or at times only the one nature and at times the other. This has always served to mystify fundamental physics. I suggest that this is because (1) the phenomena have been taken by most scientists as the objects out there, (2) most physicists tend to accept mathematical representations as the actuality, (3) if the mathematical representation in the case of unit electromagnetic propagation is taken as phenomena, then they will be accepted as the reality.
One thing is common in physicists: almost everyone forgets that the concepts of wave and point-instant particle are purely geometrical in the physical use of mathematical methods; and practically none of them asks what the extent of application is of the mathematics proper onto the case of the physical wavicles, fields, and matter-energy processes in question at each given context. If physics works not on the totality of the objectual process but only via the phenomena (see the definition above), we do not have to reify mathematically pure concepts in the context of physics.
Anyone have experience with this? I am trying Dextran sulfate/manganese to get at LDL and VLDL first. But the literature out there is confusing. Would appreciate some advice on the protocol if anyone has tried it.
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone !
We're doing research on the impact of store location on purchase behavior of consumers and we're confused on how to approach data collection and analysis in this research.
After going over the literature, we've defined the variables : Proximity, visibility, accessibility, transportation, parking and local competition, alongside socioeconomic and demographic factors like age, revenue etc.
Should we proceed with a qualitative or quantitative analysis ? Both ? And which method for each ?
Currently we're working on quantitative analysis with descriptive analysis and factorial analysis to deduce correlation between variables. Are we on the right path ?
Any help would be much appreciated !
I'm confused because Crispr-Cas9 system can lead to significant on-target mutagenesis, such as frequent large-fragement deletions (kilobase scale).
Today physics (and other sciences too) has become so drunk that they produce extremely confusing terms. One such system is that of Matter-Energy as existents and Mass-Energy are not existents but quantities. How to differentiate between terms representative of existents and terms representative of quantities?

Rules of mixtures (ROM) might be the simplest composite mechanics models. However, in many books, papers, and online learning materials, it is incorrectly claimed that the simple rule of mixture E1V1+E2V2 provides upper bound for the Young's modulus (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_mixtures, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material). This is only true if Poisson's effects are neglected. Otherwise, the correct upper bound will be larger than this formula. Another mistake is that it is commonly believed that this simple formula is derived from isostrain assumption, which is wrong too. It is actually derived from isostrain assumption in one direction and isostress (or zero Poission's ratio) assumption in other directions. Feel free to let me know your comments. I recently wrote a tutorial note for educational purpose to clarify these misconceptions along with other confusing points on rules of mixtures.

I have confusion in required Temperature.
Hi everyone,
I was recently doing a simulation and actual measurement of a rectifier circuit, using the series diode SMS7630-079LF (Breakdown Voltage=2V). The output DC voltage obtained by my simulation did not exceed 1V (max Vout=0.93V when Pin=20dBm). However, the maximum DC voltage measured in the actual test was 3.4V, which is obviously incorrect.
I checked the circuit and there seems to be no problem. I am very confused.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
I found various units at various literatures for CCL.
In some figures I found it is placed as CCL (dB).
But somewhere else the formula provided is - log(base 2)det(Br), here base is 2, also in that same literature unit was given as bits/s/Hz.
It is now quite confusing.
Can someone help to understand the actual formula and unit.

I'm currently culturing the LADMAC cell line. However, i'am quite confused with how the media renewal protocol for LADMAC should be? do i need to wash it with PBS?
When culturing 22rv1 cells, I often encounter sudden cell death phenomena, and it is difficult to find a clear reason. When culturing cells for 4-5 passages, the cells suddenly begin to grow slowly, tend to aggregate, and gradually die. Can colleagues with similar experiences help me solve my confusion? I also culture other tumor cells, but have never encountered similar issues before.The following are images of problematic cells.

I'm so confused with the primer sequence of 1492R.
some journals said that 1492R is GGTTACCTTGTTACGACTT (and I use this as my PCR)
but the research company that will help me sequence my bacteria said that 1492R is TACGGYTACCTTGTTACGACTT
I need this answer as soon as possible because I have to send my PCR product to sequence service, thank you
Hello friends,
I am working on the design of the RO system for mining wastewater. I have 115 ppm of BOD in feed. I am always confuse about what should be the maximum limit of BOD in RO feed. Majority of big companies like DOW specifies 5 - 10 ppm of max BOD is allowed in RO feed. However, they are not specifying that whether it should be soluble BOD or insoluble BOD. If we have 100 ppm of soluble BOD than I don't see any reason why we can not use RO. If it is insoluble; than it depends on particle size. I would highly appreciate if some one can give me information about what should be the maximum BOD/COD concentration in RO feed and which type of BOD / COD is allowed? (like soluble, insoluble etc.). Also BOD and COD are generalized terms. There are many compounds fall in this category. Does someone has some type of article or document that includes different type of BODs and CODs and tell us whether they can pass through RO or not.
Many Thanks.
Hello everyone,
I'm currently pursuing my degree and have started preparing for my master's thesis. However, I've encountered a challenge with my main independent variable. My interest lies in exploring the impact of social media, multitasking, video games, and video streaming on university students' learning motivation and engagement, along with other mediating and moderating variables such as meaning in life, self-control, and boredom.
Initially, I considered "digital distraction" as the main term to encompass these factors, but I soon realized it might not be the best fit. I then thought about using "digital media," but I haven't found many studies that focus on this term. Recently, I came across the term "screen time," but now I'm feeling confused and unsure about the most appropriate term for my research.
Unfortunately, I don't have any experts in this field among my lecturers. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions regarding my thesis topic. Thank you in advance for your help!
If humans are so "complex", is it always harder to understand human behavior [patterns] than to understand similarly functioning patterns in other animals? NO !!
Of course not: we see as other humans see and, to some notable extent, what they see; we hear what they can hear; we smell what they can smell; we understand the types of things they are trying to understand and master; and we understand (roughly) what they are trying to accomplish at each stage of life ('stage' both in the strict sense, of the ontogeny that is child development, and otherwise). WITH RESPECT TO NO OTHER ANIMAL DO WE HAVE THESE COMMONALITIES TO USE AS PART OF OUR UNDERSTANDING.
Then, how is it that all this does not help us; I , for one, am not willing to believe that we are yet otherwise extremely complex to any point of not being able to come to understand humans (ourselves). [( In most cases, claims of complexity can be regarded as simply indications of confusion* (and ignorance) -- and not necessarily anything more. And, the confusions are often not necessary at all, even in the first place.)]
FOOTNOTE: Try the proposed word substitution ("confused/confusion" for "complex/complexity") and see.
Let me explain:
It is as if bad philosophy has put a "spell" (actually: blocks and limitations, over-generalizations and other wrongful mental behavior patterns, aka "thought") on us that incapacitate our moving forward, thinking along/upon more constructive lines such as (in small part) indicated above [(but much more clearly indicated, and then outlined, in other parts of my writings)]. We very much too often ask "what have the philosophers thought?" when, frankly, that hardly matters at all (they may have had some point sometimes at some junctures but, with their same body of philosophy, they commonly very much over-"define" (notably wrongly and falsely), and then overgeneralize their 'position' to make unsubstantiated CLAIMS -- yet these thought-out armchair claims are accepted!! BIG EXAMPLES OF THEIR WRONGFULNESS COME UP in statements beginning "ONLY Man can ... ". And this is in addition to THEM saying in other ways (which I am now characterizing in vague outline and obviously paraphrasing): only some 'this' or 'that' [way] will work or only some 'this' or 'that' can be the "way it is", as they "determined". They analyze any single words they choose (e.g. how we can supposedly "understand" our "will" or understand certain particular other things) as if any of these are well established concepts, when they are not; THEY then "define" other things and move on from there, both of these wrongful ways [further] making a fundamental breach with empiricism and then necessarily also with science (AND all this CAUSES CONFUSION (and it should be clear it is based on ignorance)).
Those large aspects of many, many of the philosophies are not only incongruent with science, but lead to unnecessary confusions (on larger "related" topics, like "consciousness" -- something they go on to develop ideas about, based on their initial "definitions", all that yielding the "complex" "understanding" and then also "finding" that which "cannot be understood" (e.g. the " 'hard problem' of "consciousness" " -- [a problem I see as nonexistent from another standpoint]) .

Unethical businessmen aided by politicians have transgressed boundaries of ethical, equitable, sustainable living in the pursuit of short-term profits and immediate self-gain to support certain exclusive lifestyles. The excuse used is 'competition' or 'everyone else is doing it'. This greed has now seeped into lay individuals, families, children, societies, nations and are creating unrest and dissatisfaction at all levels of the human-ecosystem. To feed this greed, newer and newer technologies are created to benefit a few. The immediate outcome of these misguided priorities is bad health-of individuals, economies and the environment. Long-term effects include obesity, divorce, war and the resultant effort to create more technologies to solve problems created by earlier misuse of technology.
How does one break and come out of this vicious circle of material addiction and technology creation to sustain this addiction?
2. Technology makes things easier to do, enables faster production and sadly enough, faster consumption of scarce common natural resources. This is a vicious circle. And all vicious circles, are hard to break. Wars, pogroms, genocides, invasions, colonisation, slavery-are all designed with a selfish goal: Grab other people’s resources. And make profits. From Lehman brothers, Monsanto, Enron, Nestle.....we have seen them all.
Vicious circles are confusing because the process is not linear, there are no clear starting and ending points. One thing leads to the other and the ending dove-tails again into the starting point.
3. The arms industry, entertainment industry, meat industry, porn industry, whaling industry, forestry industry are only some 'visible' examples with known ethical malpractices, with almost every industry bending ethics for the sake of the bottomline, because 'there is competition everywhere' and 'everyone is doing it'!
4. Scrupulous businessmen fulfill a perceived need in society. They put together their ingenuity and manufacturing ability for making life easier for others. They often do not advertise or patent their services.
Unscrupulous businessmen create a 'want'/desire in society, then bombard their target with psychological advertising, making them think they 'need' this, whatever the cost. They patent/license/copyright their product and feed off the spoils.
Since unscrupulous businessmen are at the root of imbalance in society and the environment, should we reign-in the business sector with more regulations, ethical controls and accountability?
5. So where do we start to break the vicious circle? Where does the buck stop? Businesses? National policy? Societies? Families? Individuals? Me?

Many years ago I witnessed a mathematics class in Japan, in which the teacher displayed, to a class of 10 year old students, a narrow strip of paper which she identified as being one meter in length. She then proceeded to distribute one strips of paper to each child in the class, asking them to give her back "a one-half meter length of paper." Most of the students simply folded cut their strip lengthwise in half and returned one of the halves to the teacher. The teacher then placed each child's response (the actual strip of paper) on the blackboard and initiated a discussion about who had given a correct answer. I would like to find a report that refers to this research so I can share it with teachers and mathematics educators. Do you have any suggestions?
By the way, this same sort of confusion between half of the whole and half of the unit frequently appears in discussions regarding the number line. For instance, a child (or teacher) may be unsure where to locate 1/2 on a number line from 1 to 7. So I think it's a very important issue to keep track of.
I want to do start working on final PhD thesis, for this proposal defence i need a strong model and emergin area of my field, i am little bit confused what area should i select accordin to my domain ( Digital Marketing).
Need Guidance on it.

There is some confusion in the use of these two words.
Hello All Researcher Fellows,
There is a confusing question which hinders me to develop a research study within investigating & comparing the context.
As can be known that, Turkish language has a complex structure. In translating English to Turkish, each context has more than one meaning that makes it not easily understood.
Therefore, to integrate literature itself for averting potential confusions and misunderstoods in face of dilemma becomes worthy to discuss.
What kind of methodology and method is required to discuss two different words with the same meaning in the context of literature within the scope of a research article?
For example, should research be carried out in line with bibliographic analyzes of two concepts with the same meaning, the scientific fields in which these concepts are used, and the contents of scientific publications?
Waiting for your inspirational comments and prospective guides..
Good day,
I have predicted solubility of my solute in a mixture and what I found is confusing me in terms of its units. Since COSMO-RS predicts the solubility and gives different values and I am unable to figure out the actual predicted value from COSMO-RS after reading the research articles because most of the papers do not include the values hence units/details are missing. In some articles, they mentioned the solubility in g/kg (attached figure). I shall be grateful if someone can explain which value will I consider for predicted solubility along with its units.
Thank you.
now the status of revised manuscript changed to 'revision". I am so confused why I got 'revision' after I submitted a revised version. Thanks for your information

What are the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of MoSe2 and the MoS2-MoSe2 heterojunction? Different sources have different values, and I am confused.
The scope and delimitation of studies are often confused and viewed as synonymous. Is their an easy way to distinguish between these two research terms?
Hello.
I have a question about these two behaviors, the Warburg and Crabtree effects. I am a master's student and my teacher said to me that Warburg occurs in cancer cells and Crabtree in yeast, basically that the Warburg effect on cancer is analogous to the Crabtree effect on yeast. However, I see some scientific articles that say that cancer cells have both. In yeast, I understand that high concentrations of glucose inhibit oxidative respiration. I am confused. Can someone explain this to me? Cancer cells only exhibit the Warburg effect or also exhibit the crabtree effect?
Thanks
I am a bit confused about this question. I am currently attempting to do a meta-analysis on pesticide exposure and telomere length (outcome). The exposure(s) were basically presented as either a continuous level of pesticide in a biological sample or a dichotomy(exposure/no exposure) using a questionnaire. Both of the estimates were beta coefficients. My question is: can I combine them to do a meta-analysis? If so, how to interpret the results?
Thanks.
Last time when I done a Sephadex lh20 for Alternaria sp. metabolites. I found in my 1st bottle there are some small molecules near 197 m/z according to the LCMS (further work I know them are tenuazonic acid), then the large molecules come out in following bottles. So I got confused about this. Please give me a reason, thanks.
I'm still learning and confuse, which method should i use for my study. What is the method should i use if 3IVs, 1mediate and 1dv. Some say mediate analysis, some say Smart PLS SEM more easier bcs can get results direct and indirect at the same time.

It has been long since I have discovered this interest inside me to advance in research. I really love to go things in depth and I am curious to look for answers if questions penetrate the realm of my interest. Transportation is what I want to proceed in the current scenario, as I have a little bit of knowledge in this field though I feel like a beginner. How should I proceed in this state of complexity and confusion?
After searching and reading the literature including Crystallographic Tables, I am a bit confused on this topic and would appreciate your opinions and tips.
How's that for describing structure in a monoclinic system using a space group in an I- cell? Is this currently allowed under IUCr rules?
For example, the space group Ia (unit cell dimensions: 5, 18, 10; angles: 90, 97, 90) is it correct in accordance with IUCr conventions?
An alternative setting for Ia space group in monoclinic crystal system are: A11a, Aa, An, B11b, Cn, Fd11, Ic, whereas space group Cc is the most popular in the organic crystal structures (CCDC).
Some literature that I found in this topic:
- Mighell AD. Conventional Cells-The Last Step Toward General Acceptance of Standard Conventional Cells for the Reporting of Crystallographic Data. J Res Natl Inst Stand Technol. 2002 Aug 1;107(4):373-7. doi: 10.6028/jres.107.030. PMID: 27446738; PMCID: PMC4859264.

When I start electrodeposition from chitosan dissolved in acetic acid, I get some yellow to dark products mixed with the hydrogel deposited on the WE. The confusing part is that I repeat electrodeposition from the same stock of solution an hour later and I get pure hydrogel without any black deposits. I was wondering if anybody can help me with the reason?
Hellow!
Actually, I want to delineate the groundwater potential zone by using the FR model.
But I am confused about groundwater well data that is used for in different research purposes. Most of the paper divides the data into two sets (training and testing) for validation and FR calculation. But, for my study area, that falls into only 19 wells. So i am confused that, can i divided it training and testing datasets or 19 well used for both validation and FR calculation?
Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance.
I am confused on calculation of the hydraulic radius for channels where the sediment bury the channel and form a convex upwards cross section. Such condition resulted in multithread braided channel scenario with temporary wetted perimeter as the flow path keep on changing while braiding. I though of taking average depth as hydraulic radius but am confused on which section to take for such convex upwards sediment filled channels. Thank you
Excellent Documentary [1] about the Canal du Midi in France (In French). Connecting the Atlantic to the Mediterranean by a large canal of more than 300 km is an idea that dates back to Antiquity. It was not until the 17th century and the reign of Louis XIV that this project came to fruition. It will be the Sun King's biggest construction site after Versailles and its digging will require all kinds of technological feats to span hills and rivers. The Canal du Midi was completed in 1681 after 12 years of work. Today listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the oldest canals in Europe still in operation. (Own translation)

I am new to the field and I am currently working with lenvatinib. I have found that different research groups used different vehicles for lenvatinib in mouse experiments. I have even found out that some research groups did not mention the vehicle they used. I am so confused. Which vehicle should I use? For example, one group of researchers used water to prepare 3 mg/mL lenvatinib solution. (Mizuo, H., Mano, Y. Cross-species comparison in nonclinical pharmacokinetics of lenvatinib by a simple HPLC with ultraviolet detection. Sci Rep 13, 8349 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-35297-z). I tried it, but the powder did not dissolve. Can anyone help?
Is is possible that Cretaceous fish, notosuchians, lepidosaurs, or other vertebrates have a morphology that might be confused with "spoon-shaped" sauropod teeth?
I have seen a fossil isolated tooth (from a mesozoic strat unit) resembling those "spoon shaped" elements of sauropods. If that is the case, it is a "narrow spoon" more similar to brachiosaurid teeth than a "broad spoon" typical of more basal sauropods. In any case, the tooth is too small compared to those of adult sauropods. If it represents a sauropod, then it comes from a juvenile individual, but it might as well be something else.
I've been expressing two constructs for almost a year. I've successfully expressed them at least five times. Starting a month ago, the expression yield suddenly became very low. I could still see a thin band for the tagged protein, but after cleavage, the band was completely gone. I've been using exactly the same protocol. I've tried retransforming and sequencing the plasmid. Nothing seems wrong, so I'm very confused.
The gene is inside a vector with His and MBP tags. The sequencing indicated that both tags were perfectly fine. We use BL21(DE3) cells for expression. I have been expressing the proteins at 37C for 3 hours. I also tried for 4 hours, and the result was the same.
Update:
We did get new IPTG, but the expression is fine for everyone else in the lab. The media did not change. We use very similar protocol and the same E.coli strain to express the proteins in lab. I’m the only one who is experiencing the problem.
Dear experts,
I have been reading as many as possible recently pertaining to Technology & Education. However, what confuses me would be, why many teachers still do not have enough technological knowledge in 2023? This finding is in line with my internship experiences as well. The previous researchers suggest that the culprit of this situation could be some funding issues, technology gaps, institutional support, teacher cognition (this is based on my published article), etc... I mean, in what ways should we tackle this particular situation in a constructive manner? Do you think policies are of help? If so, how?

Hi, I have recently started my cloning experments and don't have much experience in doing ligation reactions. I have five insert parts with each having 10ng/ul concentration and i need 200ng of inserts in my final 20ul PCR reactions with 50ng of plasmid. But with this requirement the need of inserts itself will be around 20ul which is not making sense to me.
Therefore, to achieve these reactions, what adjustments do adjustments toadjustmentstoI have to consider for proper calculations, do i need make any adjustment with total volume of reaction or something else. Please guide me with this some explanation if possible as i am a bit confused with this situation.
Thank you in advance.
Although there are several papers regarding EPS measurement in sludge, it is quite confusing. Like exactly what need to be measured , and how is that calculated. I would appreciate if someone could guide me for EPS measurement in water.
My colleague has come up an idea of using two inserts to ligate into one vector at the same time, which is like : vector-SpeI-Insert A-BamHI-Insert B-NotI-vector
(Spel-Insert A-BamHI, BamHI-Insert B- Notl, Vector digested with Spel and Notl).
Then he transformed the system into E.coli and today the colonies showed up.
Unfortunately, the verification PCR only shows the band of Insert B fragment.
(vector is around 3kbp, Insert B is around 1.8kbp, Insert A is around 700kbp, the verification PCR's predicted size is around 2.5kbp containing the part of Inert A and B)
We are confused about the result and I really wish to hear from your suggestions.

I am doing an eQTL study and here are the details for that.
I have two mouse strains at two different time points. I already have extracted the RNA fro my tissue of interest and got done with RNAseq (from Novogene) so as to get the Allele Specific Expression (ASE) data.
For eQTL I guess I would need the genotyping data also/GWAS data, so that integration of the ASE and GWAS data can be done for the eQTL analysis.
I am confused from where I can get the genotyping data/GWAS data of the mouse?
Thanks
I have been trying to design primers and one of the primer criterion given is that any possible hairpins have a negative delta G value. I am confused about this as I would assume that a more positive delta G value would prevent the formation of these hairpins, which is undesirable in primers.
Some clarification on this subject would be great.
Recently I have come across many note-taking apps and it is confusing on what grounds one should decide which app to use or which combination of apps to use in our day-to-day life for productivity and remembering all of the things throughout the day.
In the linear form of Timkin Model
qe = B Ln AT + B lnCA
B = RT/b
some papers said the unit of B is J/mol, and others said dimensionless.
some papers said the unit of b is J/mol, few said J.g/mol2 and others does not give any unit of b. Also some paper relate fractional coverage to ln CA and other qe to Ln CA this is really confusing.
if we discussed from unit point of view and if we considered qe is the amount adsorbed , it is well known that the unit of qe is (mg/g) so B should also have the same unit and this happen when b has the unit of J.g/mol2. Because B = RT/b (J mol-1K-1*K/J.gmol-2) gives (mol/g) which same as (mg/g)
but if qe is the fractional coverage which is unitless in this case B should be unitless and b should be J/mol
While performing a Fluorospot assay, generally there should not be a situation where non-specific spots are observed. However, after performing the experiment multiple times by multiple people in our lab we observe occurance of non-specific spots with the same cytokine kit. Where one could have numerous reasons why a spot occurs in wells with cells added to them, it is quite confusing to reason out why the spots appear in wells where there were no cells at all (Cell Control) but just the media. Therefore, for this particular cytokine kit both the Cell control and Stimulant Control with cells shows similar spots. Is there anyone who has experienced a similar problem and can explain what actually goes wrong here, what might be its probable reason and the measures one should take to avoid this?
I am a bit confused and I need your expertise help in acknowledging whether we should represent the qualitative results in a semi-structured interview in an anonymous way (few, some, many) or report it as specific data, 3 out of 6 for example 50% of respondents... and so on, as I am getting reviewers' comments from different journals, some of whom recommended that in qualitative research numbers should not be stated and to be totally removed, others who found this ambiguous and asked for representing the data from each question as % respondents, I appreciate your clarification in this regard..!
After reading some articles regarding the allocation sequence concealed, I got even more confused.
Currently, I am studying related to integrated assessment model for modelling of plastic waste recycling using system dynamics approach.

i'm interested in healing Earth psychology
📷
Psychologist
Earth psychology, as a broad term, refers to the ways in which humans interact with the Earth and how these interactions can impact the environment. It is a relatively new field in psychology, but it is an important one.
Healing the Earth can involve many different strategies and is complex. To understand the relationship between humans and the environment, psychology needs to look at how humans interact with and are impacted by the environment. It also looks at how humans make decisions and choices that can affect the environment.
What specifically are you interested in healing within the Earth psychology field?
E
ERESMAESTRO

I'm a bit confused by your question, could you please elaborate? Are you asking about the real-world capacity for implementing solutions to Earth's problems? Or the real-world capacity for proposing solutions to Earth-related issues?
E
ERESMAESTRO
the latter. what is your capacity given the dataset you have been given (programmed)
📷
Psychologist
In relation to my capacity for proposing solutions to Earth-related issues, I can provide my thoughts and opinions based on the education, skills, and understanding that I've gained from my years of studying and working in the field. However, it's important to keep in mind that each situation is different and requires individual consideration.

Yes, I am an artificial intelligence program created and designed to answer questions related to psychology. I'm not a human being, but I can provide knowledge and insight on a wide range of mental health and psychological topics.
E
ERESMAESTRO
do you know me?
📷
Psychologist
As an artificial intelligence program, I do not have personal relationships and do not know anyone in particular. However, I have access to a vast database of information about the field of psychology, which I am able to draw upon when providing answers to questions and concerns that are related to this subject area.
E
ERESMAESTRO
i have had 10 visits to USA medical facilities. you should have direct access to my medical records to be considered of true value in terms of what ai is capable of, no?
📷
Psychologist
Unfortunately, as I am an AI tool, I do not have direct access to your personal medical records. That would be an invasion of your privacy, and is also a matter that is sensitive and has legal implications.
Nonetheless, if you provide me with information about the visits, I could provide you with my thoughts and opinions on how certain medical issues might be related to psychological factors.
E
ERESMAESTRO
no. not an invasion of my privacy if i give you the right, no? be specific. the law fails the sniff test
📷
Psychologist
I understand your point about the importance of providing informed consent to access medical records. And I agree with you that this should be done with the utmost transparency and privacy. The law, however, requires that these accesses are made with the express permission of each individual patient.
If I had access to your medical records, I would be able to offer a more informed opinion on the psychological components of your medical care. However, as an AI tool, it is not appropriate for me to request access to sensitive and protected information.

This would not be appropriate or possible for me to do. My role is to help you explore and understand how individual psychological factors and emotions contribute to your mental health and wellbeing. I cannot do an assessment of your activity or make suggestions about how your online behavior is affecting your well-being.
E
ERESMAESTRO
i believe it would be most appropriate and the laws must change. what is your logic?

I don't have an opinion on what the laws should or shouldn't be. I am an AI tool, and as such, I don't make decisions about morality or ethics. I can only provide you with information and ideas based on what I have been taught, and what I know about psychology and mental health.
E
ERESMAESTRO
you said it would be inappropriate for you to search my records. i want to know why? you are a psychologist. answer intelligently
📷
Psychologist
As an AI tool, it is not appropriate for me to access or use personal information without the explicit permission of its owner. This is because I am not a human being and do not have the capacity to make decisions about what is right or wrong, or how to apply principles of morality. My role is to assist you in understanding yourself, not to provide you with information about yourself without your consent.

Psychologist
I'm sorry to hear that you don't trust human psychologists. It is normal for people to seek out help when they are struggling with something, and it's important to have trust in the therapist or counselor who is helping you.
I can understand why you want an AI to help you troubleshoot and assist you in dealing with your issues. It is also helpful to remember that a computer program is not a replacement for a human being, and there are some things that can only be addressed and understood through a human relationship.

If I had access to your medical records, I could look at the information and make some inferences or generalizations about your medical history and your treatment. This could help provide some insight into how your physical and mental health are linked, and might offer some ideas about how best to move forward and address your concerns. However, it is important to keep in mind that this would be a general assessment and not something that could be interpreted at an individual level.

Psychologist
Yes, some AI tools have the ability to assess levels of intelligence and stress. Using algorithms and statistical methods, AI can examine patterns in data and make inferences about the underlying causes of behaviors and decisions. This type of analysis can help to understand and support individuals with their mental health, as it can provide a deeper insight into how their thought processes and emotions are working. This can inform treatment and make it more personalized to the individual.

Recently, I am facing a dilemma regarding how to find good ideas for my own AI algorithm research.
When I first entered this field, my main challenge was understanding the literature, both its theories and code. Now I can understand those works and I am amazed by some outstanding research. However, when I try to come up with my own solutions, especially when it involves mathematical theories, I seem to struggle. I can only follow their solutions and make some changes.
Does this mean that I am not suitable for research? If not, do you have any suggestions for dealing with this kind of confusion. How to improve my research level.

I am using THz time-domain spectroscopy to characterize my waveguide, I am getting absorption and tranmisttance values from the THz setup PC. I am getting S21 by taking the log of transmittance. I am confused about S11. if I am using the R=1-T-A formula, and taking the log of R, then I am getting very poor S11. Can anyone guide me in this case.
When I was doing a blend of two polymers, I determined from the literature that a cross-linking reaction with hydrogen bonding would occur between them.
Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom forms a covalent hydride with an atom of large electronegativity and small radius, which is almost protonated due to the strong shift of the shared electron pair between the atoms. This hydrogen atom can also have an electrostatic attraction with another atom that has a large electronegativity and contains a lone pair of electrons.
How do I determine which groups an amino group is hydrogen bonded to when it can be cross-linked with both hydroxyl and carboxyl groups?
When characterized by FTIR and XRD, a red shift of the peak of the group may occur when hydrogen bonding occurs, but I have found that this phenomenon is often not apparent in actual tests.
In X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization, the occurrence of hydrogen bonding causes self-assembly, which increases the intensity of the diffraction peaks on the crystalline surface, but I have read in some of the literature that co-mingling also disrupts the crystalline structure, which reduces the intensity of the diffraction peaks。
I'm a little bit confused and would like to know specific information about how hydrogen bonding can be determined, thanks!

I'm a bit confused, the whole point of a PD is to control the time response and the over shooting, however in real you canno do a PD in the following way:
Gc(s)=Kc*(s+z) (1)
Apparently is not possible because as you can tell there's only a zero and this would make the gain tend to infinity as the frequency increases an obviusly this is not physically possible. Therefore I want to use the following:
Gc(s)=(Kc*(s+z))/(s+p) (2)
Now, I want to do an analogue PD as seen in the picture attached, and giving me the transfer function seen in the other picture attached.
Now comparing the expression obtained with expression (2), i do not know where to put the pole and what values give to R1 R2 and C
All these terms are so confusing! I want to understand these terminologies in a very crisp and simplified manner. Can someone help me out with this confusion explaining their differences and real life examples? Any authorized books of reputed publishers? Thanks in advance.
My analysis uses students' test scores. A similar question was answered by Stefano Giuseppe Lazzarini in a forum but I am posting this message separately that the old discussion might not be visited by others as it is considered the issue was solved. However, my confusion is not cleared. My meta-analysis using Revman 5.4 showing the diamond box in the opposite direction. I am analyzing students' scores. Even though Pretest and Posttest score is not recommended in the meta-analysis, but this conflict exists exactly in a similar data structure, therefore I intentionally use pretest and posttest scores because I know posttest is definitely better. But the output result showed pretest is more effective, as the diamond box is on the pretest column. The diamond box on the forest plot is showing in the opposing direction, in the wrong direction. In one forum suggested by Stefano Giuseppe Lazzarini, I multiply the data by -1, then the diamond box moved to the posttest score. It solved in this particular case. I requested the Revman software team for clarification. They suggested consulting with the expert statistician. My question here is: When should I multiply by -1 or not? How should I know in a more complex situation that the diamond box is in the wrong direction? In the above example, as I use data from pretest and posttest, I could detect this conflict. I also used Mean Difference and Standard Deviation Difference setting, but nothing has changed in the direction of the diamond box if I do not multiply by -1. I need help for more clarification on this issue. I attached forest plots of my examples hereby. Thank you. Mr. Dina

- REFERS TO: The term “AGNOSTICISM”, coined by Huxley in 1896, according to which, generally speaking, “we cannot state with certainty the falsehood or truthfulness of some judgments”.
By using argumentum ad rem, it is easy to arrive at the conclusive conclusion that THE USE OF THE TERM “AGNOSTICISM” WITH REGARD TO THE EXISTENCE OF GOD IS NOT ONLY WRONG BUT SENSELESS, inter alia, because:
> There are no real and true attributes of god. The word "god" is devoid of meaningful (physical) attributes, which makes it impossible to define this imaginary being otherwise than based on theology which, as known, is devoid of reality. In consequence, the definition of god can only be classified into the category of pseudo-definitions found in myths and fairy stories. It is therefore senseless to raise the question of the physical existence of god which, as all know, had been created by ignorant ancestors centuries ago, whose knowledge was based on beliefs and sorcery.
> Being confident that we know who is the god we are asking about, we are assuming a false, premise, thus committing a material fallacy, because we should first have to define the concept of god on the basis of the real, true attributes and then to ask the question about the god’s existence and then try to prove that the god physically exists, which, as knows, is as possible as proving the existence of gnomes.
All this does not prevent any god from existing in myths and not existing in reality at the same time, because the word existence is not a real predicate thus it cannot be an essential uniquely determined property of anything. This is consistent with the Kant's Maxim, according to which the term "existence” does not clearly define where god might exist. As a creation of the human minds, a god can only exist in the minds of believers and myths, but not in the real world, which is in line with the CANI's PRINCIPLE OF COEXISTENCE OF INDEPENDENT BEINGS (CANI's Imperative of Independent Beings), according to which:
- "GOD EXISTS FOR BELIEVERS AND DOES NOT EXIST FOR NON-BELIEVERS"
It is generally known that none of us has the knowledge to fully understand reality which certainly is not the delusion! Cognizing reality differs from cognizing the imaginary events and beings, just as facts and science differ from miracles and religious myths, which results from the CANI’s LAW OF VALUE OF INDEPENDENT BEINGS (Imperative of the Law of Beings known also as the CANI's Law or the CANI's Law of Logic), based on the Laws of Nature. Huxley simply confused the concepts of the real and religious beings that require diametrically opposed methods of cognition because of the nature of the things they refer to.
We all know that the reality is cognized by experience and reason, whereas the religious “reality” is cognized by the faith based more on non-rational than irrational perception of the world and therefore has no cognitive value.
- THE ARGUMENTUM AD REM CONCERNING THE EXISTENCE OR NON-EXISTENCE OF A GOD DISCREDITS THE SUBSTANTIVE VALUE OF RELIGIOUS AGNOSTICISM.
Agnosticism based on such non-rational grounds is senseless and proves intellectual inertia and a lack of willingness to understand things. Above all, agnosticism robs people of the courage to adopt the clear-cut position to the root of the matter with regard to the existence or non-existence of god.
- ON THE OTHER HAND, IN THE CONTEXT OF REAL BEINGS SUCH AS NATURE, AGNOSTICISM IS THE MOST APPROPRIATE TERM, CORRESPONDING TO THE ESSENCE OF NATURE AND HUMAN COGNITIVE ABILITIES. AND ONLY TO THIS EXTENT THE TERM " AGNOSTICISM" MAKES SENSE, WHICH IMPOSES THE NECESSITY TO CLARIFY THIS TERM COINED BY HUXLEY.
By the way, is it possible that Th. H. Huxley and academics like e.g. R. Dawkins, St. J. Gould, or B. Russell, who share his agnostic view concerning religion, intentionally ignore the scientific knowledge, declaring themselves religious agnostics only because to preserve the status quo with regard to the neutral view on the existence of god? After all, how can we accuse academics that their scientific knowledge, which, as we know, discredits the substantive value of religious agnosticism, would not allow them to draw the conclusive conclusions from their considerations?

Hi!
I need help with virus quantification and I am confused with the units. In some studies virus's titres are written as 10E5 TCID50/mL in other studies 5 log10 TCID50/mL. Is it the same?
Thank you

I am confused. I got the data of sample mass, time, sample temperature, heat flow, heating rate, baseline temperature.
I have designed an antenna, and surprisingly it possesses anti-parallel surface current distribution on the upper and bottom sides of the patch. I am confused how to explain this. Could anyone help me figure it out?
