Do Different Cost Systems Make a Difference?

Variations on a theme: changes to electrophoretic separations that can make a difference.

Electrophoretic separations of proteins are widely used in proteomic analyses, and rely heavily on SDS electrophoresis. This mode of separation is almost exclusively used when a single dimension separation is performed, and generally represents the second dimension of two-dimensional separations. Electrophoretic separations for proteomics use robust, well-established protocols. However, many va...

„Real-Time Datasets Really Do Make a Difference: Definitional Change, Data Release and Forecasting“ Real-Time Datasets Really Do Make a Difference: Definitional Change, Data Release, and Forecasting∗

In this paper we ask the following three questions. First, does the usefulness of a real-time dataset depend upon which release of data we are interested in forecasting; and are real-time datasets useful, in general? Second, what are the trade-offs associated with: early release inefficiency; early release measurement error; the impact that definitional change has on time series consisting of o...

Smoking: can we really make a difference?

The enormous health benefits of stopping smoking are now well established. Doctors have a vital role in motivating smokers and initiating quit attempts. The mainstay of National Health Service smoking cessation strategy should be the routine provision of brief opportunistic intervention in primary care, backed up by referral to a specialist smoking cessation service. There is an urgent need to ...

Does Peace Education Really Make a Difference?

An inconsistency is pointed out between formidable and thus discouraging hurdles facing peace education in the context of intractable conflicts and actual, encouraging research findings of such programs. It is suggested that the hurdles pertain to the most deep-seated and thus unchangeable convictions constituting the backbone of a group’s collective narrative. On the other hand, the change-obj...
