Talk:Dives and Lazarus (ballad)

message: On the Lazarus and Dives pages, this ballad is referred to as a medieval folk tune. Is it traced back to the Middle Ages? If so, this page should say that. If not, the L&D page should be corrected. Jonathan Tweet 21:34, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Minkowski's theorem

message: I wander whether "Minkowski’s theorem" file can be renamed as "Minkowski’s theorem (geometry of numbers)" file since the is another well known theorem of Minkowski on extreme points of a convex set, related to convex geometry. If yes, then one more file "Minkowski’s theorem (convex geometry)" file could be created.

Just wanted to note that this proof is not comprehendible in any way to someone who doesnt have advanced knowledge of Geometry of Numbers. Maybe someone can try and rewrite this more clearly?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.237.35.129 (talk) 17:32, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't agree. I have no knowledge (to my knowledge) of the Geometry of Numbers, but found the proof comprehensible. It uses concepts from other areas of math that people might not be familiar with--modular arithmetic extended to real numbers, and injective functions. It could probably be rewritten to avoid this "short hand". My point is Geometry of Numbers knowledge isn't a prereq. 67.158.43.41 (talk) 23:54, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

message: As an inorganic chemist with no specific expertise in this area, I request clarification of the first sentence of the third paragraph: "The formal reduction potentials for ABTS are high enough for it to act as an electron donor for the reduction of . . . ."  An electron donor is a reducing agent, which is itself being oxidized.  So the reduction half-reaction and the sign of the potential would be reversed.

message: The section on parapsychology seems to consist almost entirely of criticisms, without Braude's side of the story or anyone else defending him. It needs serious work. The Grossman stuff is woefully deficient for example. Braude, in that work, relies mostly on experimental fieldwork from people who studied Home and Palladino in depth, not just on anecdotes, and he gives a cogent defence of that evidence, including why occasional fraud (which Home at least was never caught in) doesn't mean all the unexplained phenomena attributed to the medium can be written off124.171.39.121 (talk) 02:56, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Acyl-CoA

message: The first paragraph reads:
The CoA is then removed from the chain, carrying two carbons from the chain with it, forming acetyl-CoA. This is then used in the citric acid cycle to start a chain of reactions, eventually forming many adenosine triphosphates.
The acyl group carries an alkyl group R that is not necessarily a methyl group; see the acyl group article. When co-enzyme A is removed, Acyl-CoA only becomes acetyl-CoA only when the R group is a methyl group. When the R group is anything else, such as an ethyl group, acyl-CoA does not become acetyl-CoA.
Finally, last comment on citric acid cycle should arguably be moved to the article on acetyl-CoA.
