In a lot of research you have to site sources from a "reputable" journal. I've seen journals that have opened simply to post that bigfoot exists and won't take anything other than more or less garbage papers. Not to mention the problem with people "fixing" data to make their paper look legitimate when it's not.  How can I tell if the journal (and subsequent articles) I'm looking at is reputable?
A colleague and I recently submitted a paper to a journal with an impressive-sounding name, the "International Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Research". According to ,      IJAICR is a referred [sic] journal in the field of computer science, artificial intelligence and soft computing methods.   It was accepted two days after we submitted it. That's too fast. We were suspicious. Although the journal said that all papers are peer-reviewed, we could not see how that was done in two days. Plus, we received no comments from the reviewers. Also, the submission guidelines didn't ask for a "blind" copy (without our names or any references to who we were).   But wait, there's more.  The acceptance letter asked us to send them US$300 to publish it. We did not. We've withdrawn our submission and will submit a new version of the paper to a more reputable journal in the coming months.  How might we make a better choice of respectable journals before we submit next time?
I'm having this Error when I try to compile my .tex file with xelatex:  ! Package hyperref Error: Wrong DVI mode driver option `dvips', (hyperref)                because XeTeX is running.

I have a  to which I'd like to add JPEG and PNG images that I generate on the fly.  All the examples I've seen so far in the , specially in the  use ImageIcons.  I'm generating these images as byte arrays, and they are usually larger than the common icon they use in the examples, at 640x480.   Is there any (performance or other) problem in using the ImageIcon class to display an image that size in a JPanel? What's the usual way of doing it? How to add an image to a JPanel without using the ImageIcon class?   Edit: A more careful examination of the tutorials and the API shows that you cannot add an ImageIcon directly to a JPanel. Instead, they achieve the same effect by setting the image as an icon of a JLabel. This just doesn't feel right... How is being able to break into any Linux machine through grub2 secure? How is the ability of a person who gained physical access to your computer to get root with those steps in any way secure?   When grub2 menu opens press  e  to edit the Linux start options Change:   "linux   /vmlinuz-2.6.35-23-generic root=UUID=e7f1e48d-0015-485f-be7d-836217a31312 ro   quiet splash"    to:  "linux   /vmlinuz-2.6.35-23-generic root=UUID=e7f1e48d-0015-485f-be7d-836217a31312 ro init=/bin/bash"  Now you have root access just do:   mount -o remount,rw / passwd user mount -o remount,ro /  sync  reboot the computer and you win.   My question is, how is being able to break into any Linux machine through grub2 secure? I don't understand that fact about Linux, thank you for your answers. Integral $\int^{ \pi /2}_{0} \ln (\sin x)\ dx$ $$\int^{ \pi /2}_{0} \ln (\sin x)\  dx$$  The answer is $- \frac{\pi}{2} \ln 2$.  I have changed it into $$\frac{1}{2} \int^{1}_{0} t d \ln t^{2}$$  But I didn't get the answer with it. What package should I use to typeset units? Space war, humans recreated, grown from plants with an alien female supervisor This was a small hardback book I read in the UK in the late eighties. No memory of the cover.  Some kind of space war and a long lived alien female escapes the conflict in her starship, her side had lost.  An evil enemy that she needs to trap so she gets (I think) human  DNA from space dust and sets up on a habitable planet. The story then gets like episodic and looks at the world every couple of generations while she hides out there.  Plants bud on the world and people pop out from big seedpods, the population listens out for babies crying and rescue them.  There are legends of the 'Earth mother’ who secretly guides them to become high tech.   In reality she is creating attractive food bait for the bad aliens.  I think an early human and her are attracted to each other and she (maybe) gives him long life or (maybe) uses reincarnation to keep seeing him.  Edit:- the name 'Rimstalker' has just now popped up in my brain! I noticed that some Indian languages (eg : Kannada) are not supported in Ubuntu 16.04.  See this screenshot:    Even with file names :    This was not happening in earlier Ubuntu editions. How can I enable kannada in Ubuntu 16.04? monitor files (à la tail -f) in an entire directory (even new ones) I normally  watch many logs in a directory doing tail -f directory/*. The problem is that a new log is created after that, it will not show in the screen (because * was expanded already).  Is there a way to monitor every file in a directory, even those that are created after the process has started? I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 and I'm not keen on the desktop environment. I want the desktop env. I used to have in Ubuntu 14.04. How can I get it?  I've attempted to use , but when I try to install the Unity's 7.2.5 version using the command:  apt install unity=7.2.5   it gives me   E: Version '7.2.5' for 'unity' was not found   For sure I need to add a PPA for this, but which one!? Is there a way to force Google Chrome to remember passwords for sites that have autocomplete turned off? Clarification: I am a programmer, but ideally, I'd like a method that I could help regular users implement, too. Grid search vs. random search for hyperparameter tuning I am interested in comparing the computational cost of grid search vs. random search algorithm for hyperparameter tuning. Is random search computationally less expensive then grid search? Is there an article/paper that talks about this topic? Thank you, Rm can't delete file Evaluating the integral $\int_0^\infty \frac{x \sin rx }{a^2+x^2} dx$ using only real analysis Calculate the integral$$ \int_0^\infty \frac{x \sin rx }{a^2+x^2} dx=\frac{1}{2}\int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{x \sin rx }{a^2+x^2} dx,\quad a,r \in \mathbb{R}. $$  Edit: I was able to solve the integral using complex analysis, and now I want to try and solve it using only real analysis techniques. Is the current obtained using Ohm's law that which passes through the resistor or that which passes through the circuit? Shouldn't the current passing through a resistor be lesser than that which passes through a circuit? My understanding is that since Current = Charges/Time. If there exists a resistance to the flow of charges, then that must mean the charges slow down, meaning that more time is required to pass through a point. So, the current should then decrease. But, since this opposition to the flow of charges doesn't exist in the ENTIRE circuit, it should really only decrease the current in the resistor, right? Am I confusing the resistance of the resistor with the resistance of the wire? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks a bunch for lending me some of your time :D Why is wine made 'from' grapes, but tables are made 'of' wood? (1) Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes or other fruits. (Wikipedia) (2) Tables were made of marble or wood and metal (typically bronze or silver alloys), sometimes with richly ornate legs. (Wikipedia)  Why is 'from' used in (1), whereas 'of' is used  in (2)? Is it a stylistic choice whether to use 'of' or 'from'? Or, in case of chemical changing, differently from changing in shape only, 'from' is preferable? If H is a subgroup of G ( | G:H |=n, n > 1), then how can you show that G has a factor group G/N which is isomorphic to a subgroup D of the symmetric group Sn with |D| > 1.  I've been looking at Cayley's Theorem but it's not specific to the factor groups. Square root of Positive Definite Matrix Which 1970s UK fantasy kids TV show has an older brother die? When do I have to use 'will' instead of 'going to'? Does going to only express an intention and will some kind of prediction that doesn't necessarily happen?  EDIT: Thanks for all your answers. I asked this question because I always fail to complete exercises like this from an ESL book:   We  will fly to Venice in June. (Correct: But, how can I be sure that I'm not sick in June?) Philipp will be 15 next Wednesday (Correct: Since his birthday is a fixed day, this will happen). They will get a new computer. (Wrong: Why?, If I need a new computer, I simply get a new one) In 2020 people are going to buy more hybrid cars.  (Wrong, Why? Who can tell for sure). Is there a way to set an "Adventure Mode Boundary" in Minecraft?  I am trying to create this village where players can spawn in, and then set out to explore the world and build and do normal minecraft stuff. I don't want them to destroy this village, so I want them to be in adventure mode when they are in the village and then switch them to survival when they leave, and vice-versa. When they return to the village, they get switched back to adventure mode.  In other words, I want to set an "Adventure Mode Boundary" to protect buildings. I am working without mods. I am hoping there is an simple way using command blocks.
