  1. Thank you very much. 

    I feel myself very happy being corrected/confirmed about my prediction which I wrote in my paper but could not publish it.

    I shall try to revise and resubmit. 

    Thanks again.

    Have you heard of 'noise cancelling' headphones ?
    They modify the sound waves coming into your ears by introducing more sounds which destructively interfere with the noise waves you want 'cancelled'.

    Hello,

    I have not heard that term in meaning of developmental technology. But.. maybe I may predict what it was related...

    for instance, is that related to some other external contexts like: subliminal & supraliminal stimuli.

    But you are right that I definitely & specfically consider sound waves. 

    Thank you for contribution.

    no, I read once again and decided that this kind of thing was new to me. 

  3. Hi, 

    I mean whether we could interfere them via setting their amplitude and/or wavelenght quantities by functions' rules. 

    for instance, are the amplitude or wavelength of waves' are settable in the conformity of f(x)= Ax +B (This is a general rule of linear function as you know)

    Thanks.

  4. hi,

    I need a free latex editor. In previous times, I was using TeX maker but these days it seems it is not possible to use this one. (Windovs security prevents some settings or the editor itself does not work as same as it needed/predicted.)

    Could someone help me please which editors are available? (and tutorial for construction)

    These are the best explanations I have found so far. It is enough to get started. I still don’t understand the displacement of Prime numbers as it relates to the zeta function.

     

    I tried to particularly overview the thread but did not understand what you want. 

    As far as I remember , Riemann's zeta function is

    [math]  \frac{1}{n^\alpha}[/math] 

    in mathematics , I also remember that we analyzed where it was convergent and divergent. 

    May I ask you to provide your question in the most succint and sufficient form?

    Thanks

    A lot of people in science feel an obligation to review articles because others review their submissions. Even if the article is rejected, somebody spent time on it. The system doesn't work if people shirk their responsibilities.

    But if you feel it’s not something you can do, because you’re not familiar enough with the material, you should say no.

    That’s basically what I did. The community of my sort of physics was pretty small at that time; there weren’t six degrees of freedom. It was more like two or maybe three.

    Generally speaking, if you have not been successfully through the peer-review process, it is not ideal to agree to write a review. It is time-consuming especially if you are not familiar with the literature in the field. 

     

    If you mean to say what benefits you will have: none. Peer-review is a free service provided by scholars. I also do not want to be mean, but your writing is sometimes difficult to understand. A review written with similar issues would unfortunately not be helpful.

    2)

    Hi again, the journal has sent me a new manuscript again for evaluation. Two points:

    From what I understood by CharonY & swansont's comments under this thread (appears above)

    1) There is no benefit for me according to CharonY but

    2) in spite of this it is understandable that swansont seems like encouraging.

    Two questions:

    1) show me please a logic reason on why to conduct a review (even if I have no benefit) ?

    2) swansont, as expressed your comment seems encouraging, but why? (Please pay attention to CharonY's opinion too)

    Thanks

     

     

    external question:  Are reviewers responsible for unexpected but probable circumstances such as:

    -- >> in case an article they handle contains copyright issue or plagiarised material (This is just an assumption)?

     

  7. what you ask is not understandable in the thread text. But to reply just to the title, that is not the doable thing in my prediction or seems like an invalid /unapplicable question. Because the golde ratio is a number. 

    and the curve you shown is a type of gaussian distribution function. (I presume it is NORMAL distribution function graph)

  8. the journal which I successfully conducted a review returned me an acknowledgement with additional kind invitation as to express that they would like to see me again in the future as also an author . But I do not mind really. why to do that ?

    First, I have already regular job (but this is not thoroughly an academic position really) and I believe I will have no earnings. So, why to bother myself,why ?

    that is ok that I accept I deal with science and I sometimes believe I have found some very sensitive and really effective things/results for community (by community I both mean folks (big data) and scientists. (because scientists are also member of folks)

    but why to bother myself ? for what ? for which aim?

    will I have a benefit? no. 

    because, I left formal academic life more than 7 years ago. I am still young or feel so, but really not willing to follow all the expectations (especially for zero benefit) 

    What I do ?

    I currently deal with only patents.

    Anyway, I believe I am right but wonder if there is suitable and significantly meaningful & understandable critiques. Note please as I have no plan to enroll currently to a PhD and MSc program in my home country,I do not look for advices, but critiques are welcome. 

     

    Sincerely,

    ahmet

  9. hi, 

    this is a portative  dental instrument and I am not willing to share any else information unfortunately. sorry for this case. 

    if possible, could someone please give me an idea, on how much money should I want for licensing in case I get in touch with some corporations?

    What do you mean by steady?

    Not affected by outside influences?

    I might have used wrong term here, not sure.

    by steady I mean the strong effect as a force across radiation ( when that metals are exposed to alpha, betta , gamma radiation)

  11. hi,

    can someone explain please whether there are steady metals. 

    The property I look for is about being steady across (nuclear) radiation,too.

    but as this issue does not fall inside the areas of my interests, I think i can easily make some mistakes. if this is a case, I kindly  request the correction and understanding. 

    Thanks

    If a subpar review is provided, it is mostly a waste of time and the authors need to wait longer for a decision, which can impact their careers.

    I am expected or required to provide the report in 14 days. but the journal has sent me that they do not look for a report in strength lenghty.

    so may I ask if I present the report, will this be a normal peer review?

    I remember, I sent papers to some journals and could not receive a report more than 3 months. there are some cases or friends expresing that too much longer times are also experienced. Thus, I asked that question. 

    note please,I know that waiting a report for a manuscript and review time range are not same. But I wanted to ask,though. 

  13. is there a bad scenario if I revew the article but it is not found as expected? 

    I think there should not be, because as you say I have  no earning and I do not know  the reason why I was invited.

    after entering to editorial manager, I saw that I submitted three manuscripts to journal but some of them were removed without any decision whille a decision available for one as I remember.

    You can always decline, but the issue is that if you agree first and then realize that you won't be able to provide helpful feedback, then the manuscript just sits there and the editor has to find a new reviewer which can take time. Generally, one should have a good sense after reading the abstract whether ones background is sufficient to review it (though I had one or two bait-and-switch manuscripts). 

    okay. This was helpful really. I shall have 14 days but after reviewing full article, I shall try to update whether I am willing to make detailed assessment (i.e. to review it) or not with the best timely manner however possible.

    Yes normally reviewers are folks who successfully publish articles. But the fact that you have been submitting might why editors have your contact info. It is still unusual and probably points to the changing publishing landscape (and some quality issues in science in general- though not sure how much is real and how much is just part of getting old).

     

    some last questions: 

    1)will I be able to send messages to handling editor or can I do that now (including a question: the reason why  he did select me)

    2) there are some details about me but unfortunately I am not willing to explain. the second question here is: will the authors see my comments / review report or will the report be open only to handling editor?

    Thank you

    actually I can see just abstract. Of course an abstract may include many contexts but...

    what do you mean by "being succesfull through peer review process". I submitted articles to many journals but never received direct acceptance. Also, there is just one acceptance but even this was with minor revision demand. I still did not deal with that aricle.

    I also do not want to be mean

    no, not a problem. I understand. Thank you for feedback. I shall try to be more careful than ever if I aggree to assess the manuscript. Thank you. 

    a question: I presume that I wouldn't have option to decline the duty again in case I push to "agree to assess/invitation" button,right?

    I understand, and I'm asking where did you get the number for support services? Did you look it up independently, or was the contact number/link/email conveniently included in the email you received?

    it was not by phone call. I mean chat service as support service. I look it up independently and their support service confirmed that I was offered for (peer) review when I provided the article number based on the supporter's question.
