Would someone be able to explain to me what "adjusting for phylogeny" means. Thank you.

Hi everyone. I was reading some research, and noticed Omentin-1, but upon consulting the internet, I only arrived at more research papers, but no explanation of what it is. Does anyone know what Omentin-1 is? Thanks,

When my friend went to Africa for his Master's project, he was able to collect all his data on an iPad using an app. The app wasn't actually designed to be used by scientists though (I think it was for cataloguing DVD. ha). Does anyone have any experience with apps or software tools that could be used by teams to collect and collaborate over their data?

Is this a case of cross species altruism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ_3BN0m7S8 .. and has it ever been recorded (besides in humans, obviously).

Hello everybody, I have a problem with statistics. I don't get it. I have realized a experiment to test the effects of three proteins in five different concentrations. I had three repetition of each condition, that is, for each protein and concentration. At the end I had 45 cell cultures. I want then to compare the results and effects of these three proteins on the cell. Which kind of statistically test should I use? I repeated the whole experiment one more time, so what if I want to use the results of both experiments? Thank you very much. Zeraus

Remember the sampling of a lake below the Antarctic ice sheet about a year ago? They have found microbes living in the water, and the big way: 4,000 species observed in the small sample and 100,000 individuals per quarter teaspoon http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-microbe-ecosystem-antartic-ice-sheet-20140819-story.html The microbes are said to feed on rock fine-ground by glacier movement, for which I'd like more details. Because, if they feed on still unoxidized metals, the same may happen on Europa (...see my script to put a probe there) and Enceladus, but if they chew organic matter produced earlier and elsewhere by an other life, the process doesn'…

Would a 34 Year old Olympus microscope be better then a new Amscope?

I love seeing how a lot of scientific advancement is first seen in science fiction but later ends up as a reality. Just look at the iPhone. If you had an iPhone in the 80's people would have thought you just stepped off the USS Enterprise. One piece of science fiction that I have seen used in many films, books and computer games is the idea of creating artificial gills that can filter oxygen out of sea water. It would be great if you could use an artificial gill instead of an oxygen tank when diving but one has never been invented and it made me start to ask why? My thoughts are this, please tell me if you think it is wrong. Fish are cold blooded right? If my unde…

I noticed something funny a while ago. I'm not sure if it happens to everyone, but it's certainly an easy experiment anyone can preform on their self at any given moment. I'm curious if the reasons why it happens are known, and how this is related to how the brain works and evolved. When I'm not doing any physical effort and I'm not in a state of emotional distress, I tend to breathe rather slowly and rarely. However, if I ever think about my breathing or try to monitor it, I immediately feel like I'm suffocating, and need to take a deep breath. It's not just a simple tendency either... I have to breathe more at that moment, otherwise I feel deprived of oxygen. Why does…

Is it true that some domestic cats do not attack big birds? Can some cats be trained to attack rats & mice but not birds? Here is a video of a sea gull taking the cat's dinner for your amusement:-

I have 3rd unhappy love and it makes me unable to love, I would say such medication to kill romantic love for desired one is crucial for our society. For ex: guy falls in love with young, rich woman but can have her no matter what, so instead kiling himself or waiting aprox 4 years in pain for love to go away, he takes pills and lives happy, productive life. I heard that SSRI medication can help, but I want treatment that gives as less side effects as possible. Even if its possible just turns off felling of love. I'm realy smart teen, becouse i'm developing software, studying well but loves just is to hard for me, I can't bear it. Another thing is then I fall in love, I …

There has been much research done into the concept of reopening life to Mars by the use of increased carbon in the atmosphere to produce heat and then using the H2 on the surface to produce water on the surface. My question relates to the long-term situation. Currently, Mars is a red, is not an inhabited planet due to the environment that exists(as we know of). Question is, if the red planet is in its current stated, how did it get it's current condition and will the cause of its current environment affect how easy it will be to keep an artificially induced environment?

Why bite of cordylobia anthropophaga is not painful?

how do a cell differentiate b/w meiosis and mitosis ? i mean how do it get to know that it have to do one of them and not the other ?

Do dermatobia hominis like bacon? As I read, bacon was used to get dermatobia hominis out of human's body, but did it work out? Method is simple - applying a piece of bacon to the wound with the idea that dermatobia hominis would like it.

How pthirus pubis settled on us? Book I've just read claims that it came from our relations with gorillas. Is that true?

How microfilariae know when it's night? I read that it's hard to detect those due to their night activity. But, considering that they're hiding in out body, how do they know when it's night?

Why some of flea's species are not so susceptible for gastrointestinal blockage as the other ones? Blockage is established by yersinia pestis. This process leads to hunger and vomiting - poor flea.

i'm nearly 21 and realistically speaking here i'll still be studying when i'm 26-27. But to me that seems like most of the best of my life is spent in a classroom.

Sexual imprinting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_imprinting#Sexual_imprinting Which sex is usually preferred after cross-species imprinting? Closely related species are probably better examples. I wonder whether we're bioprepared (genetically tuned) to learn a particular sexual preference. For wild animals nurtured by their own kind, they may have evolved biopreparedness for sexual preference, but not species-preference.

I want to know about evapotranspiration from salt water plants

Hello, I am actually writing a book in which Anthrax is used as a biological weapon, so I try to get the reality straight to build up the story on solid grounds. I'm trying to determine how it is contracted, and if it can be contracted without one's knowledge of it. What bodily symptoms does one develops along the different stages (if there's any?) of this disease? Thank you for anyone who'll take the time to answer this, Djenny Floro.

How tapeworm can lead to weight gaining? One possible explanation says that people gain weight because insatiability (they simply eat more than needed). Are there any other explanations?

Hello. I stumbled over this bit of information and was hoping for a little cross-checking. I have no opinion on what he is implying, I simply am interested in whether there are errors in the method since I have been excited about the discovery of a Homo Neanderthalensis burial site with flowers. -Here is the Link to the Site http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/vida_alien/alien_watchers06.htm I also posted the main points without the rhetoric below. -Scientists accept they have accurately calculated the age of Neanderthal bones by using this Radio Carbon C14 method. -C14 is a type of carbon formed in the upper atmosphere when cosmic radiat…
