SAN FRANCISCO Cheap Los Angeles Angels Jerseys , June 3 -- A group of 14 researchers have called for their colleagues to share computer code related to their research.

The researchers, from universities across the United States and Europe, recently published a commentary in Nature Science, which has announced a pilot project to ask future authors to make their code available for review.

Members of the science community have discussed for years whether and how to share data from painstaking research and costly experiments, while some academic journals are turning their attention to another aspect of the research process: computer programming code.

Code is becoming increasingly important in research because researchers are often writing their own computer programs to interpret their data.

Ben Marwick, University of Washington (UW) associate professor of anthropology Yunel Escobar Angels Jersey , is one of the authors of the Nature Science commentary, titled "Toward standard practices for sharing computer code and programs in neuroscience."

Making the programs behind the research accessible allows their colleagues to test the code and reproduce the computations in an experiment -- in other words, to reproduce results and solidify findings.

It's the "how the sausage is made" part of research, said Marwick. It also allows the code to be used by other researchers in new studies, making it easier for researchers to build on the work of their colleagues.

"What we're missing is the convention of sharing code or the tools for turning data into useful discoveries or information," Marwick was quoted as saying in a news release from UW.

"Researchers say it's great to have the data available in a paper -- increasingly raw data are available in supplementary files or specialized online repositories -- but the code for performing the clever analyses in between the raw data and the published figures and tables are still inaccessible."

The Nature Neuroscience pilot focuses on three elements: whether the code supporting an author's main claims is publicly accessible; whether the code functions without mistakes; and whether it produces the results cited.

Nature Publishing Group Shohei Ohtani Angels Jersey , the company behind Nature Research journals, has encouraged writers to make their code available upon request since 2014.

Currently, besides Nature Neuroscience, other Nature Research journals, such as Nature Methods and Nature Biotechnology, provide for code review as part of the article evaluation process.

"This is a commitment from a high-impact journal to raise software to the status of a regular research product Rod Carew Angels Jersey ," Marwick said about the Nature Neuroscience project.

"In the future, scientific disciplines will be shifting to a position where you need to share your code as well as your data. It will be easier to reproduce someone's new discovery, and incorporate their discoveries into your own work."

BEIJING, June 22 (Xinhua) -- Although great improvement has been made in product quality, the general quality of China's products falls short of expectations, a report said.

The report on the implementation of the Product Quality Law was submitted to the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee at its bi-monthly session Ricky Nolasco Angels Jersey , which started Thursday.

Citing a survey that found 40 percent of firecrackers and induction cookers were substandard, the report said that a series of problems such as low-quality products and outdated standards have remained, especially in rural areas and online purchases.

The report called for a revision of the current Product Quality Law, which entered into force in 1993.

In addition, it suggested better information sharing, improved inter-agency cooperation on quality supervision and the establishment of a system to trace products.

ZHENGZHOU, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- A decade has passed since China declared a state-level war against HIVAIDS, through the release of preventative guidelines and a set of related policies.

On the whole, the initiative has been a success but the fight is far from over.

As the 27th World AIDS Day fell on Monday, Xinhua reporters revisited Qulou, a once-unknown village in central China's Henan Province.

The village Nolan Ryan Angels Jersey , so small it is not identifiable on maps, attracted worldwide attention due to the prevalence of people living with HIVAIDS (PLWHA).

Poverty and a lack of education resulted in many people in the area selling their blood to the black market, this unhygienic practice resulted in 107 of Qulou's 1,600 villagers contracting the disease.

SHADOW OF DEATH, SHAME

Reaching its peak at the end of 1980s and the beginning of 1990s, black market blood trade kingpins Mike Trout Angels Jersey , the "blood heads", ensured constant supply by pooling all the donated blood, siphoning off the plasma and then pumping the plasma into donors' bodies. This meant people could donate more often, an attractive offer to the poor and uneducated, but with it came the consequence of contracting the disease.

In 2011, the film "Love for Life" brought the 1990s blood-selling scandal to the fore of Chinese consciousness.

The movie's heroine Martin Maldonado Angels Jersey , Qinqin, contracts the disease after selling her blood to buy shampoo only affordable by city dwellers at the time.

In reality, however, the reasons many farmers sold their blood was simple: for food or to pay for their children's education.
