Why is the death rate of male in heart disease always higher than that of women? How can a male achieve that power?
It is clear from the report of WHO that the death rate of Male in heart-disease is higher than that of women. This observation suggests that the woman may have some physical advantage. Besides, differential food, beverage-drinking, and smoking habit, etc. can also contribute to it. For example, the habit of consuming oily foods (saturated fat harms heart) is more in the case of some individuals (taste matter). Although many people are aware of the issue, they can't change the food-habits....

For a change in the peer-reveiwing as an urgent need?
With an increasing number of Journal and other publication, the review by peer started to be difficult and very often nonqualified reviewers are solicited. Very often now the Journal send us a list that ressemble the directory a. This is a problem since many of the persons listed here do not have even a record over 10 and there are supposed to review works they don't know, and they are not qualified. I would like to start a huge discussion that can be sent to the main Journal to change the...

I am conducting a field experiment using a randomized complete block design. The layout includes 5 blocks, each of equal land area. Within each block, there are 5 plots, and each plot receives a different single treatment. These 5 treatments are repeated across all blocks, so each treatment is replicated five times in total—once per block. My question concerns sample collection for a single treatment. What is the scientifically valid and recommended method for collecting samples and...

What is the most important research material in protein bioinformatics? 1. Protein sequence 2. Protein structure 3. Protein-related Software 4. A high-speed computer
A protein's sequence contains its intrinsic properties as a code. Nobel laureate scientist, C. B. Anfinsen proved it through experiments. Unlike sequence, since structures are man-made and obtained under different laboratory conditions, they may contain human error. Further, unlike nucleic acid, to date, the protein-folding code is unknown. So, in my opinion the study of protein sequence is primary. It is better if one can include structure study with it. But little can be said about this...

Pings FAQ
What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
You also receive the satisfaction of helping your fellow experts and supporting the scientific community.
