Anecdotally I really like their double sided tape as long as it's stored properly it stays good for a long time. I leave it in the fridge in the garage

thanks. that makes sense

It provides support that preprint studies can provide robust results before peer review is completed, but we should be more cautious about preprints with small samples and biases. May seem obvious, but it’s important to verify preprints are useful.

A lot of people will write off all preprints. But in emergency situations, the peer review wait time can delay policy and research, so preprints are an important source of research results.

It's actually Ru/TiO2 because we've found that using light we are able to produce hydrocarbons to at least C6. These preliminary experiments haven't been done by me that's why I'm not that familiar with the mechanisms that person suspected. The focus will definitely be hydrocarbons, no oxygenates.

I'm definitely planning on using other salts in my preliminary experiments. I think the previous research used Ruthenium chloride so if you got experience with a model component for that I'd appreciate your opinion.

I'm still working on my Masters Thesis (FTS with Co@m-SiO and Co@m-AlSiO) thats why my research into Ruthenium has been sparse so far. I appreciate the heads up about the papers. I also got the impression that the very few results there are, are a bit contradictory.

There's been quite a lot of these posts lately with "sleep linked to mental health", "Friends linked up mental health", "excessive alcohol use linked to mental health"...

Am I the only one thinking "well yeah.. is this new"?

Not to diminish what you’ve said but, from the abstract of the article, the results really need to be situated among the studied population (university students 18–25), and the predictive value of insomnia for suicidality disappears when covariates are accounted for. Both of those seem like major things to note, especially if you’re measuring “lifetime” suicidality (and everyone is, at most, a very young adult).

Separately, the abstract says that 97/885 of these undergraduates had actually attempted suicide in their lives. Does anyone know if this matches up with other findings regarding suicide attempts—10% seems really high to me.

Finally, the data for these studies were collected at the height of Covid. I wonder whether this was accounted for, considering insomnia rates were probably affected during this collective trauma we all experienced.

Here’s the abstract from the article:

> Objective: To evaluate sleep continuity, timing, quality, and disorder in relation to suicidal ideation and attempts among college students.

> Participants: Eight hundred eighty-five undergraduates aged 18–25 in the southwestern United States.

> Methods: Participants completed questionnaires on sleep, suicide risk, mental health, and substance use. Differences in sleep variables were compared by lifetime and recent suicidal ideation and suicide attempts using covariate-adjusted and stepwise regression models.

> Results: A total of 363 (40.1%) individuals reported lifetime suicidal ideation, of whom 172 (19.4%) reported suicidal ideation in the last 3 months and 97 (26.7%) had attempted suicide in their lifetime. Sleep disturbances were prevalent among those with lifetime suicidal ideation or a lifetime suicide attempt. Insomnia was identified as the best predictor of recent suicidal ideation, but this relationship did not survive adjustment for covariates.

> Conclusions: Sleep continuity, quality, and sleep disorders are broadly associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors among college students.

I don't see the purpose of this article. Can someone help enlighten me?

Smaller trials would typically rejected at a higher rate as would clear biases.

Peer review is working.

>I'm actually about to start my PhD researching the hydrogenation of carbondioxide over ruthenium

Nice! I have worked on this until I moved quite recently from the R&D organization in my company to the commercial/sales org. I can't reveal the exact information, but maybe a couple of pointers could help you.

Since you said ruthenium, are you gonna be working with Ru-Macho or its derivatives? The focus of industrial R&D has been (heavily) on using catalysts based on Fe, Mn, and Ni. Cost and abundancy are the factors here. I'd suggest, if possible, to design the equivalent catalyst structure using these cheaper metal ions once you do your initial testing with Ru-based catalysts.

We have noticed a spectacular lack of awareness among different research groups in considering the information published by other groups. This is with respect to the mechanism of CO2 conversion to formic acid, dimethylamine, methanol, etc. A couple of prominent groups have proposed their mechanisms and have focused their observations around their mechanisms, but there are reports out there of contradictory behavior that doesn't match with their proposed mechanisms. I have personally done detailed modeling for the entire mechanistic chain and found that the most widely cited mechanisms are only partially correct. They leave out important information and/or are wrong about the rest of the reaction mechanics.

I know it was a very general description, but don't take the published information on its face value (even if it's from "famous" scientists in the domain). This area is still so new that nobody is 100% correct.

For me with deep depression it the opposite. I can sleep just fine, but for the life of me i can't sleep past at latest 4:30 after crashing out at 9. Most of the time its somewhere between midnight at 3 am though. Then what TF do i have to do? I just sit there in the dark shower running contemplating how much i hate this life.

We could eradicate mosquitoes if we really tried. We already have technologies like gene drive and alternatives like wolbachia engineering. It would have little ecological impact and improve quality of life along with disease prevention. The US could easily finance it if it dedicated justa a bit of its military budget, but more tanks better I guess.

My wife is a clinical therapist specializing in trauma. Her first objectives for any client:

1. Are they sleeping
2. Tools for self care

Until those are in place it is very difficult to address any issues.

Sleep is important

Does it smell noticable to humans like over-the-counter stuff

I thought 3m was generally considered a good quality name brand?

I went to a sleep lab when I first noticed problems (like falling asleep on the motorway/freeway) and they found I was on average waking up once every three minutes. Not good. CPAP definitely helps me - I find the best way is to use nasal pads rather than a full mask, and to sleep with the covers over my head and with my face down in the pillow (which you can do with an external air supply).
