The Human Race Into Space Requires Kidneys, and Other Important Topics
A research and discussion group
Agenda and Minutes
1. Updates/announcements/status
reports
- Updates?
- Congratulations to RS for a keynote speech at the IMCIC 2024 conference, and for spearheading getting TE's master's project published as a conference paper there.
2. Reading and discussion
- We read Lifetime Estimation Using Only Failure Information From Warranty Database, https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5196697 up to section III.B, and can start there next time.
- Next time we will read/discuss the abstract of Sullivan et al. (2021), "So many ways for assessing outliers: What really works and does it matter?" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0148296321002290. Then IE will say a few words about it. We could then read from this paper weekly if it is useful to do so.
- Discussion of "How to find & do PhD research" is now stored in a separate page.
- We need some new readings related to your interests! Please send suggestions or requests.
- If we have an item for each person we can read from 2 or 3 each week and rotate among them from week to week. A student could suggest a research paper or a methodology paper related to their specific topic. Which readings to do on a particular day could depend in part on who is present.
- We could read and discuss our own papers. There are quite a few benefits to doing so. For example, we have a number of systematic reviews that have been published.
- We
could also read articles or other materials like AI outputs on research
methodology in general. We could also do other general interest
readings, not necessarily about methodology, such as philosophy of
science or something else. For example:
- Procedures for performing systematic reviews, B Kitchenham, Keele, UK, Keele University 33 (2004), 1-26
- http://www.prisma-statement.org/
- We could read from our existing list of evaluated (and unevaluated) potential readings.
- We could simply continue our process of evaluating/voting on different readings and reading the ones that bubble to the top. This could be applied to all the other categories of readings listed here. We could even hybridize and do parallel readings from multiple categories above.
