Academic Gibberish
(not unrelated to Singapore)

Singapore Marina Garden Bay Univeristy Nanyang Straits

The quality of scientific publications may appear questionable at times. This is odd, in light of the rigorous and transparent peer-review system advertised by top journals. 

What follows is a series on academic publications released from a hub of self-proclaimed excellence. Why the journal editors, and reviewers, share this belief is also questioned.

KHANNA'S MAGIC WAND

In this article by Khanna, and you may read more about him here under Singapore Dementia Consortium, he basically tells us that glutamate is important in the brain. Except he uses electrodes that do not exist, hooked up to something like an amplifier at one end, the animal at the other end, and something else at another end.

You may download the email sent to Frontiers here.

Sanjay Khanna,

Spread a little manna,

On his electrode.

He uttered words grand,

Waved his wand,

And set his amp on gain mode.

Voila! An article sound,

On floating ground,

And Frontiers in Neural Circuits implode.

SLEEPLESS IN SINGAPORE

In this article by Ibanez, there are a few problematic points you may read about more here, not including that animals were anesthetized with carbon dioxide (since it was already established with that journal, with COPE, PETA, and others that the difference between euthanasia and anesthesia is not immortal).

The crux of the matter involved a brain factor, which like the other brain factors Ibanez works on, promises a cure for dementia, obesity, and death, among other things.

The highlight of the matter is that this particular factor in this particular article 

has thus identified...a promising target to limit cognitive deficits associated with sleep deprivation...

Now. It is possible that Singapore authorities are interested in retrieving memories from subjects tortured by sleep deprivation. But also the reviewers?

Carlos had a little lamb,

Karolinska was her name.

And everywhere that Carlos went,

Karolinska did the same.

What's your secret Carlos dear?

A factor here, a factor there,

Growth factors sprouting every where!

And though your strumming is rather kitsch,

And won't you practice what you preach,

Do tell your secret, we want to hear.

Says he, 'Aah, the factor for which you yearn,'

'Is a most refined factor indeed.'

'Like Swedish meatballs and the Nobel prize,'

'Only the likes of me may discern.'

EXPOSED FECES

[1] Gianluca Esposito is at Nanyang Technological University. Along with others, he is responsible for highly unethical studies on children, and Behavioral Sciences are responsible for publishing the matter produced by Esposito and others at NTU.

 

[2] You can download correspondence here. Briefly:

 

- Esposito's hypotheses are unfounded. Like, he pulls them out of air, and the quality of that air, thin or very thick, may not be commented upon.

- He publishes the same data from the same or different airy hypotheses as if different. And then when confronted, he's like: 'And? What's the problem?'

- There is a lot of misinformation in Esposito's publications which follow from the motions above, such as lying about conforming to the Helsinki Declaration, lying about statistics, and so on.

[3] Undoubtedly influenced by Singaporean authority style, Esposito chooses to reinforce his motions with open rudeness.

Correction: a correction statement for one of the articles released by Esposito was published.

Esposito appears to be a slug,

And man, what an ugly face,

He'd keep that ugly mug,

Straight as a lace,

As he'd fart with a BLAT!

Pinch out the articles flat,

And say:

[2] No ethical permission was obtained for these 'experiments' done in Singapore including at an institute which does not exist, by authors including Qian Lin, Professor at the University of Toronto.

[3] The 'experiments' could not have obtained ethical permission even in Singapore because they consisted of literally paralyzing fish and then torturing fish.

[4] During torturing fish, a signal may have been obtained using a lot of very expensive stuff, which was then manipulated in many many ways to produce the following conclusion:

Fish swim up towards light sometimes.

Very very well-known cells in the brain are involved.

TORTURED WATER BEAR

NTU IS BETTER THAN NIELS BOHR

NTU, IOP, and Scientific Reports

Chloroplasts in plant cells turn light energy into energy we can eat. Mitochondria in our cells turn what we've eaten into energy we can use.

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY: Biological systems are also quantum. Niels Bohr missed the point. NTU found out better by torturing a water bear BUT kept it alive.

water bear NTU Oxford Coppenhagen KS Lee
Qunatum entanglement

Here is how an AI (not Irelynn) interpreted this paper and this thesis [by Kai Sheng Lee who in typical Singaporean style also has an alias, in this instance it appears to be Keun Seok Lee, click here for Google profile] from NTU, in collaboration with researchers from Malaysia, Denmark, UK, Poland, and of course National University of Singapore:

Quantum mechanics is essential in understanding the behavior of atoms and subatomic particles, and it's believed that biological systems also follow these principles to some degree. Since life is composed of these basic building blocks, researchers have been studying how quantum mechanics apply to biological phenomena. By understanding how quantum mechanics intersect with biology, researchers aim to unravel the mysteries of the natural world, including how our bodies function and how diseases develop. Ultimately, this knowledge could lead to new technologies and breakthroughs in medicine.


A tardigrade placed between capacitor plates in a transmon chip acts as a dielectric and increases the capacitance of the qubit. The exact permittivity is unknown, but clearly larger than that of the vacuum state.


The researchers proposed a protocol for implementing a quantum state transfer between a qubit and multiple harmonic oscillators. They demonstrated the transfer by preparing the qubit in its ground state and a set of oscillators in their vacuum state, then applying a series of operations to the system. They found the first excited state to be a superposition of the qubit and oscillators, with the oscillators in a state containing a single excitation in each oscillator. This work has potential applications in quantum communication and computation.


In this experiment, a tardigrade in the tun state was positioned between the shunt capacitor plates and the Josephson junction of the transmon qubit B. Qubit A was capacitively coupled to qubit B and the entire chip was placed within a 3D copper cavity. The purpose of this setup was to investigate the possibility of using biological molecules in quantum information processing and to ultimately develop more efficient and sustainable quantum technologies. Further research is required to understand the quantum behavior of tardigrades and potential applications in quantum computing.
 

It's one thing to publish poorly concealed drivel in lieu of an article or thesis.

It's another thing to torture a water bear and celebrate that it did not die in the process.

And then to talk down at Neils Bohr, may he rest in peace and never be disturbed by NTU's entangled nonsense nor otherwise, to achieve the above.

And regarding this BS article in, of course, Scientific Reports, and which also went into Kai Sheng/Keun Seok Lee's NTU thesis:

American cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) were found to display sensitivity to periodically rotated external magnetic fields in recent behavioural experiments. While many animals demonstrate this sensitivity, particularly in simple organisms, this research sheds light on the mechanism behind such magnetic perception in more complex creatures.

This concerns one Prashad Krishna supposedly Director of National Institute of Technology Calicut as well as  Professor at the Notional Institute of Technology Karnataka Surthkal, Department of Mechanical Engineering:

dum3rNML.jpg

Let's start with his nominal thesis, a very good place to start with this shit- or Seth- Sound of flavoring unreal as opposed to peppermint courtesy Arundhati Roy. We are led to believe that that sack of deplorable urological waste materiel got Masters and doctorate at the inimitable University of Michigan, well known to be a pit of other deplorable toxic stuffs and cunt.

Except his lonely thesis of the extensively cut-and-paste type, though hard to reach, was apparently supported by a grant never awarded him, and which had expired three year prior.

m3S6KD7U.jpg

Moving on to his, ahem, publications.

​Though he claims over 120 publications on his spiel blurb at Cali-cut, there is not a Scholar account to his name and one, with not much difficulty thankfully, may be led to his CV which is at his, thankfully brief, Karnataka blurb. 

​Care to look into his CV PDF to find exactly six (6) publications listed of which two (2) do not to the best of Scholar's knowledge exist, and of which one (1) is to be found within quote "...a Cricket bat theoretical and analytical...".

TA-DATA! The regurgitated unholy oeuvre that is the purported beacon of research manufacturing quality blah blah barf at Cali-cut slash Karnataka tick-tick-nological instituted thievery. And heartless meditation sim-plied jar mojo.

SPINNING IN STOCKHOLM
...umm    IN SINGAPORE
3KPetgk-.jpg

The old fart called Lars Nordenskiöld still knocking about at NTU, Singaboob. Something is rotten in the state of his (ahem) thesis (Nordenskiöld, 1981). 

The stinking flatulence talks down at the Bloembergen-Morgan derivations (Bloembergen and Morgan, 1961), claiming that these were

"....later formally derived by Luz and Meiboom..." (old slime piece of shite, 1981, page 9)

"...who derived approximate expressions for the electron spin relaxation rate using Redifield theory..." (foul pederast, 1981, page 17)

"...the Bloembergen-Morgan expression is in general only valid for ... Later a correct treatment was performed for the longitudinal relaxation by..." (disgusting dirty old man, 1981, pages 22-23).

... and all through-out that pile of confused-confusing blah-blah-woof-woof, pretends he's using 

"...the modified Solomon-Bloembergen (SB) equations..." (emphasis in the original believe it or not, stink-nugget, 1981, page 19)

and then refers to some kind of

"...an Arrhenius type equation..." (ancient active cesspool, 1981, page 19).

And yet. And here is the punchline. In the self same thesis of this poisonous musty old fart, Lars Nordenskiöld (1981), presently dweeb at NTU, Singapussy .... [and also at Stockholm Uni, see the malignant shart's NTU webpage? more later]

Now, here's the UN-demented punchline. That self same equation the pile of dessicated-rehydrated tetanus-infested deplorable fecal matter known as Lars Nordenskiöld published in his ahem-thesis (1981, equation 3-23, page 19), referred to alternatively as "...SB..." and or "...Arrhenius type..."

 

is the equation published by Bloembergen and Morgan (1961).

To add insult to injury, the flatulae widely understood to be Lars Nordenskiöld at NTU, Singabumbum, in addition to making a hodge-podge of his references and crazily mis-attributing in the process, as well as attaching claims to the (mis-attributed) authors they never made, the snivelling hunk of gerontosexual buggering old fool, Lars Nordenskiöld at NTU, Singaburp, did not actually give us any "...Nuclear spin relaxation in paramagnetic transition metal complexes..." (geriatric explosive stink diaper, 1981) as the title of his ahem-thesis claims, most notably iron though he does his best to obfuscate that fact starting with some bullshit quote from Paul Feyerabend (feeble but deadly asswipe, 1981, no page number) arguing against facts. I think.

It is 6.4 ps (Yamamoto, Nanai, Chûjô, and Inoue, 1994).

All that buggering about, deplorable state of extremely unethical referencing, 'data' bordering on being falsified by definition, and general Singacunty style of obfuscation by the dizzying stinky old fart known as Lars Nordenskiöld in his ahem-thesis [see above as not below for reference] is cause for quite some 'concern' regarding the state of affairs at Stockholm so-called Uni. From way back in 1981, mind you.

So going to have a look and....

 

Oh dear.

a14pA318.jpg

The head of biophysics and biochemistry department at Stockholm so-called Uni, the inheritor, one must assume, of the physical chemistry deportment the toxic butt-munch known as Lars Nordenskiöld attended (1981, see above or sideways) is one Daniel Oliver Daley. His CV is here. Co-located with numerous problems.

To kick matters off. Or under or whatever. His ahem-hem-thesis is, we are told in his CV, titled ''...Gene transfer from the mitochondrion to the nucleus...'' and it is not to be found anywhere for love nor money to the best of my abilities including at the barn widely understood to be the University of Western Australia where the ahem-hem-thesis was presumably defenducked or pubslapped or something or other. 

So we are left with various articles which, Danny oh-so-obsequiously informs us were published as part of ''...A red thread in [his] research has been to understand how proteins are transported, folded, and assembled into complexes...'' (Danny-boy's CV. Now that is what Danny calls a 'CV' for croc-a-rocko dundee-doo. oo.)
 

You see. Danny bugalugs confuses protein folding for protein coding. Already with the red thread up his stinking arse.

First up is ''... (Nature 408: 354-357)...'' (sic, Danny the half axe's CV. This is one of the most novel and inadequate referencing styles I have ever encountered, including from school students, and including from Rupshi Mitra and Ajai Vyas). The title of Adams et al. (2000) is ''...Repeated, recent and diverse transfers of a mitochondrial gene to the nucleus in flowering plants...'' and in this Leftovers of Nature articaca with hoplessly inadequate, confused, and arbitraryaha methods we are informed that, ''...functional transfer of mitochondrial genes has ceased in animals...'' and that ''...Thus, rps10 has been transferred to the nucleus at a surprisingly high rate during angiosperm evolution. The structures of several nuclear rps10 genes reveal diverse mechanisms by which transferred genes become activated, including parasitism of pre-existing nuclear genes for mitochondrial or cytoplasmic proteins, and activation without gain of a mitochondrial targeting sequence...'' (Adams et al., 2000, abstraboobo).

This is worrying. Not least of which because a flowering cobber such as Danny here might get left behind, with all 'em flowering plants evolving at the rate of knots and poor Danny chook prohibited from doing so (being, we assume, an anima, smug photo notwithstandiggy).

Next in line to be mentioned by Danny ''...and was able to experimentally verify the ‘hydrophobicity hypothesis’ as a reason why mitochondrial membrane proteins are still encoded by mitochondrial genomes (PNAS 99: 10510-5)..." in his gloricunty CV. Sic, of course. [read his this sentence again. Please.]

The title of Daley et al. (2002a) is ''...Intracellular gene transfer: Reduced hydrophobicity facilitates gene transfer for subunit 2 of cytochrome c oxidase...''. And this feat of proteee -we mean genetic acrobatics was demonstrated in soybeans. Which Danny possum also refers to as ''...legume species...'' (Daley et al., 2002a). For some reason.

As if to double-underline a-la-Nordenskiöld the ineffable, we find....[gasp]...a shockingly similar articaca...by Danny duffer with the title ''...Gene transfer from mitochondrion to nucleus: novel mechanisms for gene activation from Cox2...'' (Daley et al., 2002b). Considering the three (3) year gap between the first duplicaca in 1999, the five (5) year gap since Danny dingo allegedly started his ahem-hem studies at the pissoire widely acknowledged to be the University of Western Australia....that was quick. No?

Could it be that it is because the entirety of Danny cunt's ahem-hem thesis is total and utter delayed-publicked bunk, an artifaclustefuck of total shite methods and very poor grasp of basic school-level physiology, and that he and his group at the hovel widely known as University of Western Australia plus or minus Indiana University, Bloomingtutut, Indiana, needed to 'save face' by stealing results published ten years earlier (Covello and Gray, 1992)?

CCNebBcR.jpg

In Daley et al. (2002), Danny vegmuck refers, in support of his hydro-phumb whatever hypothetical dog-fart to two papers to support centralilly-fucked-his-uncle hypo-micro-animus thingy:

von Heijne (1986) which is an exclusive discussion of the mechanisms novelty blah blah red threaded by Danny do-not-very-little exclusively in plants (oh that's two exlusively)....in animals.

Popot and Vitry (1990) which is about protein folding and has, apparently, nothing whatsoever with what Danny boy's ranting about.

And. It appears that later studies showed that Danny and co's data appears to be artifactual (Alverson et al., 2011). This includes self-same Danny creep's co-authors from Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana. None, though, from the house of ass-ignation widely recognized as University of Western Australia.

Setting aside neoliberal nonsense that 'a professor has no conflict of interest by running a (or two) companies' - because should another Swedish or Australian company for that matter 'consult' with Danny breeze [heaven, or hell for that matter, forbid] about something or other - then?

Does one company 'producing' proteins have no conflict of interest with abother doing the same?
