Are there concrete examples that genomics research or genomic selection led to superior crop cultivars?
Numerous articles predict that genomics research and genomic selection would accelerate plant breeding. We have been conducting a study to see how much more effective is genomic selection relative to conventional visual selection in plant cultivar development for a number of years and are about to write a summary article. We are interested in knowing similar researches and their results and conclusions.

How does a friccohesity quantum mechanically correlate shear stress and shear rate with surface tension or energy to smoothen systolic and diastolic heart beat with 120/80 mmHg blood pressure?
Pumping large sized food particles with least surface energy, heart needs more energy while for small sized a less. The higher friccohesity predicts small sized food particles with more adherence with blood serum with higher energy moderating shear rate with surface energy.

DIGITAL BIO-SURVEILLANCE
Google Flue trends did not work out so well when it was introduced. However, there has been a lot of progress whereby scanning digital media, especially social media, may provide us with information about an infectious outbreak before more traditional surveillance approaches, such as hospital visits. I read about a system named ARGUS out of Georgetown U. but would like to know what other systems are being used. TY

Why universities underpaying their faculty and delaying their promotions should not be penalized?
There has been a lot of hype about the ranking business in higher education sector. While ranking agencies consider many parameters e.g. faculty number and qualification, infrastructure, research output, etc. why they do not attach any value to whether participating universities are paying their faculty as per norms, whether deserving faculty are getting promoted on time? The system will become more fair and transparent if universities not adopting fair practices with respect to faculty...

Do chronic studies in two species provide significant value in drug development?
Chronic studies in rodent (6 months) and non rodent (9 months) are required for approval of a new drug. Results of these studies are not required until the NDA is submitted, i.e. all the clinical trials are complete. The results of these studies are rarely included in the drug label. Since we generally have subchronic data in two species and long-term exposures in carcinogenicity studies, are the required chronic studies adding to patient safety?
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.
