Talk:Puhar, Mayiladuthurai

message: Hey its kinda baseless to state that Puhar was destroyed by the Tsunami (if you have any reference as to scientist's speculation, kindly provide link).
As, the established fact or at least accepted fact is that both Kaverippompatanam and kapadapuram was destroyed by floods/sea level rise.
*A Tsunami (as i understand) is a sudden rise of the waterlevel in the shores due to underwater sesimic activity...
* My point is, very rarely Tsunamis breach and DESTROY  entire cities..especially something as big as Puhar, which stands at 49Sqmiles (underwater) and in most cases reversible..(water recedes to the ocean)
*A rise in sealevel is on the other hand, a slow process and in most cases irreversable..
thanks for your time.

This is wrong - from what I've heard the bear either swam or floated on piece of ice to Ruhnu, he was spoted when he was near the island or on the island, so it is unknown where he came from (altough I remember that Diena later speculated that he came from Vidzeme). After some time he vanished from the island and a bit later a bear was spoted in Dundaga and since bears don't live in Kurzeme it was speculated that it was the same bear ~~Xil...sist! 01:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: People/Members

message: C-Squat's entry was originally, and appropriately, created as part of the WikiProject Punk - "a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of punk rock on Wikipedia." The subject's significance, i.e., C-Squat's scholarly notability, is twofold: 1)  its ongoing role in punk rock history and performance, particularly its role in fostering said bands; and  2) its ongoing role in the history and evolution of squatting in the city of New York.
Considering that the vast majority people seeking information about C-Squat will have been drawn to the subject through its music history, omitting links to the bands' primary source information would detract from the article's informational value for readers. To avoid issues of spam, however, links should only be to artists' official websites, not fanpages. -Eventuallyparallel (talk) 16:42, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Organizational performance

message: (I moved the following here for discussion because of coi concerns.  Perhaps some is worth saving if properly sourced?)
More recently, there has been increasing attention on identifying the underlying factors which can later contribute to poor organizational performance. These fundamental principles include such themes as the organization's Purpose, Core Values, World View, Leadership/Vision, Strategy and Business Model, Competencies, and Measurement systems, to name a few. In a research study co-sponsored by the Iacocca Institute and BetterManagement.com (SAS), clear correlations were demonstrated between such fundamental themes ("Beat the Odds principles"), and key organizational factors as employee retention, employee morale, industry rank, and financial performance.

Talk:MTT assay

message: like a very roundabout way to count cells! Is there some principled advantage to this assay over a direct count (with a haemocytometer (plus trypan blue), Coulter counter, flow cytometer, fluorescence microscope, etc), or is it a technical matter? This assay is presumably very easy to do on a 24-well plate and read with a plate reader; i wouldn't want to count twenty-odd samples on a haemocytometer.
The formation of the dye is catalysed by mitochondrial enzymes, so this assay really measures the quantity of those enzymes, right? That means you're not measuring cell number, but cell number times cell size times mitochondrial density times expression level of the enzymes times activity level of the enzymes. You have to assume that all the other factors stay the same. Do they? How would you know if they didn't? For example, aphidicolin blocks cell proliferation, but not growth, so cells treated with it will continue to get bigger, make more mitochondria, and develop a greater capacity to reduce MTT. If this assay tells you about the amount of mitochondrial activity, rather than the number of cells, is that a disadvantage, or is it actually an advantage, since it lets you detect things which make cells sick but don't stop them proliferating?
-- Tom Anderson 2008-02-01 2117 +0000
I agree with your comments. I have read a number of articles, some of which say that they used the MTT assay to measure cytotoxicity of different compounds, and others to measure cell growth and/or proliferation. It is possible that if cells are plated at confluency before the experiment, then any decrease in color change would be due to cell death and not a reduction in cell proliferation (assuming that mitochondrial density, enzyme expression and activity are constant - possibly not valid). However, most articles do not state what percentage confluency their cells are actually plated at prior to the assay, making it difficult to determine whether the results obtained were due to a change in proliferation rate (i.e. cell cycle length) or a change in cell death rates. In any case, I personally would not be happy plating cells at confluency unless I specifically wanted to monitor cell death of quiescent cells, because the propensity of cells to apoptose varies depending on their stage in the cell cycle.
I actually think that this assay is therefore quite misleading. Since we know that many drugs and pathways may impinge both on apoptotic and cell cycle processes, this assay does not allow you to delineate between these two effects. It should be used and interpreted with caution.
