Talk:Nuamthong Praiwan

message: Actually, what Akkara Thiproj (อัคร ทิพโรจน์) said that so angered Nuamthong was "ไม่มีใครมีอุดมการณ์มากขนาดยอมพลีชีพได้", which more correctly translates to "Nobodies ideals are so great that they would sacrifice their lives for them." Patiwat 02:42, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

message: He was just a taxi driver who committed to suicide against the military junta of 2006 Thai coup d'état. Consequently, he should be concerned as one event nobility. According to Wikipedia:BLP1E#Articles_about_people_notable_only_for_one_event, It clearly states "Cover the event, not the person". Therefore, I suggest to merge this article to 2006 Thai coup d'état. --Brandy Frisky (talk) 10:14, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:WFUS

message: Clear Channel has really got to bring back US 103.5's previous format, the classic rock station of "Thunder 103.5". I really miss that old classic rock station they discontinued back in April of 2005, since I loved their 2-Fer Tuesdays and Block Party Weekends as well as their Sunday morning radio program, "Flashback" (hosted by Bill St. James). Of course, I now have Sirius Satellite Radio, which has a number of its own classic rock stations, but I still occasionally like to listen to the remaining two FM stations for classic rock in Tampa (102.5 The Bone and 107.3 The Eagle) when I'm at the gym exercising, and I just wish they could still switch their radio to 103.5 whenever they want to! P.S. I think the part of this article's text that reads "Thunder 103.5" should be bolded, as I think it's very important. 97.97.174.186 (talk) 18:23, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The first paragraph suggests that Remez algorithms can be used for more than arriving at just the minmax polynomial in the sense of Chebychev, such as optimal rational approximations.
Then the second paragraph describes an algorithm restricted to the minmax.
So I'm afraid this leaves a hole. My impression is that (from the titles of the papers) that this description is (more or less) correct for the original algorithm. I'm personnally interested in polynomial approximations. It looks like the modification in Remez algorithm is so small that authors tend to gloss over the difference. If nowadays Remez is used for these other types too, that must be acknowledged, of course.

Along with other information about the village/ceramics of Mata Ortiz on his site are listings of commercial sites associated with Mata Ortiz(including those deleted from this article), info. for visitors and those wanting to view showings of the ceramics.

message: Examples are good, but this was not:
:One of the best examples of hard power is the 2003 United States invasion of Iraq and its mutual control over much of the world. Nations like the United States can use their known military potential to force other nations in the world to adhere to their demands.
This is a poor example, because the facts aren't in. The US does not exert "mutual control over much of the world" in any reasonable sense I can think of -- I can't even tell what that means! And the invasion was an example of the US not gettmutual control over much of the worlding its demands, in that many friendly nations opposed the invasion, and Iraq (whom the US was threatening military) did not give in to any demands.

Talk:Fine Paints of Europe

message: I was happy to read about a product I very much like. And happy too to see new edits from the owner-founder. That said, the product is not known for its affordability, but rather the opposite. I do understand the argument for price and quality, but this product is super permium. A value over time almost always, but there is nothing to suggest the market perception is of price competitiveness. The market perspective is that Fine Paints of Europe is up there with Farrow and Ball, Matha's high end line, or Donald Kaufmann. 
The owner might take 10 minutes to read about wiki writing and editing. Much of the new text was overly self-congratulatory, sometimes described as "fluff" by wiki editors. Objectivity is the key. An article that appears objective is in the end a better recommendation than a self-congratulatory prose. Finally, as a part of wikifying the article I have tried to make the first sentence answer the questions of who, why and where in one, rather than over 2-3 sentences. 71.16.117.126 03:03, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

message: No one calls this "Sân vận động Quốc gia Việt Nam tại Mỹ Đình" to be translated into "Vietnam National Stadium (Mỹ Đinh)" in English. I can see @Han Shinei is referencing an example from Vietnam National University, Hanoi for this change, but this is based on a false assumption that "National" should be used along with the nation, and not the locality the stadium is located in. In fact, "National" here is used as an adjective to describe the type of stadium that serves as home venue for a national team, not the locality "Mỹ Đình". See Bukit Jalil National Stadium, Baku National Stadium or Morodok Techo National Stadium eg. as they all bear their respective locality name, rather than the country.

Talk:Conformational entropy

message: I corrected a few minor errors. We need more references here. Biophys 03:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I like the new formulation. It is actually a strange state of affairs, to ignore entropy completely. Actually the formula you find in the article on conformational entropy for side chain rotameric entropy is problematic. It assumes that the side chains' entropy is uncoupled among side chains and uncoupled to the backbone. Statistically, the coordinate distribution of each independent side chain is a marginal probability distribution. A marginal probability distribution is guaranteed to have (equal or) higher entropy than a distribution considering all correlations. It is only equal in the case of no correlation, which will only happen for atoms belonging to non-interacting, distant molecules. In MM, commonly the normal mode analysis entropy (vibrational entropy of the harmonic oscillator) is used. This entropy contains correlation between all solute atoms, and is in this sense a better choice than the former equation. However, it is very local in phase space and takes care only of linear pairwise correlations. Jorgenumata 17:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, authors of the paper cited in conformational entropy article assumed that backbone and side-chain entropies are uncoupled. That was a valid approximation in their case, since the backbone was fixed. But the equation in  conformational entropy article is simply a general definition of entropy (not necessarily conformational). Note that p(i) can be a probaility of any state of any system. I do not think this equation is problematic. The problematic can be only definition of states, which is often indeed the case. Biophys 22:35, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I basically agree. Authors of the cited papers are right that decomposition of entropy may be problematic - srictly speaking. But this is not to say that authors of the paper in JBM are wrong.  One can estimate approximately certain entropic contributions and compare them with experimental data. Main question here is what precision do you really need, and how a certain approximation works in a certain special case.  For example, the discrete conformer appoximation is crude. But it seems to work with a reasonable precision (say ± 0.5 kcal/mol at 300K) for evaluaton of side-chain conformational entropy. What I do not like in the current version of this article is this: "conformational entropy of the amino acid side chains in a protein is thought to be a major contributor to the energetic stabilization of the denatured state".  This is also not wrong, but it is entropy of the entire polypeptide chain, not only the side chain contribution, that stabilizes the unfolded state.  Biophys 18:41, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
