After sparing this paper a fair bit of attention I feel I’ve wasted it.

Nowhere in the paper could i find in what conditions the test samples were kept during the experiment. This is pretty basic stuff. At this stage I’d wage sloshing was the issue.

Reading this part of the methodology:

"2.2 Initial sperm analysis

After liquefaction…

[Two paragraphs later, in the same section: ] After this first analysis, the 15 sperm samples were split into two fractions. All the samples were exposed to ‘Parabolic flight’ (split 1) and to…"

Did they liquefied the samples and tested like that? Whaa?

The “After this first analysis” should not be in the “2.2 Initial sperm analysis”. It just shouldn’t!

Then I think “15 sperm samples were split into two fractions”. … “the samples were exposed to ‘Parabolic flight’ (split 1)” — splits, fractions, what a mess!! At this stage I’ve wasted enough.

The paper should be retracted, the reviewers spanked and the editor fired.

What do you even mean with your word salad?

Your first sentence/paragraph is absurd in the post’s context. Crop rotation will not replenish the soils’ potassium.

And in your 2nd paragraph… what do you mean by “similar purpose”? It’s ambiguous, how you have used it. Also, do you know anything of how fertilizers work?

Quick quiz: Wheat has b12 vitamin and iodine, can you just eat more bread to replenish your body’s neads for those nutrients? Or does a balanced diet need to be …balanced for all nutrients?

It is the same thing.

It is explained in the link.

A hint, just after the title: “MIT engineers and collaborators developed a solar-powered device that avoids salt-clogging issues of other designs.”

PeerTube looks quite promising with its decentralised model. Surely it will never be perfect. But decentralisation is essencial. Also because the types of videos I like to see in YouTube either are monetised by themselfs in some way. Or are not monetised at all. YouTube does not seem necessary for those creators.

Or, showing that current homeowners overpaid, opening the door to new homeowners and allowing the broader financial system to have losses we all knew were possible.
