Writing a scientific article: A step-by-step guide for beginners

Writing a scientific article: A step-by-step guide for beginners

We describe here the basic steps to follow in writing a scientific article. We outline the main sections that an average article should contain; the elements that should appear in these sections, and some pointers for making the overall result attractive and acceptable for publication.

The vast majority of scientific journals follow the so-called ‘‘IMRAD’’ format, i.e. introduction, methods, results and discussion.

The introduction is of prime importance in grabbing the reader’s attention

The objective of the methods section is to describe exactly what you did, and how, in sufficient detail such that any average reader with the same resources at their disposal would be able to reproduce your study.

The aim of the results section is to describe what you observed, without commentary or discussion.

The discussion is where you interpret and explain the significance of your results, and how they fit into the wider picture of what has already been observed and reported on the same topic.

The reference section lists all the sources you have used as a basis to prepare your hypothesis, and build your research.

Ten simple rules for structuring papers

The paper introduced 10 simple rules for structuring a scientific paper.

  1. Focus on one big idea
  2. write for naive humans
  3. use context, content conclusion structure
  4. optimize logical flow
  5. abstract: compact summary of paper
  6. introduction: why paper matter
  7. result: why the conclusion is justified
  8. discussion: preempt criticism, give future impact
  9. allocate time wisely
  10. iterate the story

Build/Install GCC Compiler for C, C++, Fortran, Go, Ada in Ubuntu Operating System

I need to compare performance of various C,C++, Fortran,Go and ADA compiler. So I need to install or build various version of GCC compilers. Installing from apt is easier but not all versions are available from apt.

First step is to install all prerequisites 

apt install -y build-essential linux-tools-common libapr1-dev
apt install libgmp3-dev apache2-dev libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev apache2-dev libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev 
apt install -y gcc make libhts-dev libgl1-mesa-glx libegl1-mesa libxrandr2 libxrandr2 libxss1 libxcursor1 libxcomposite1 libasound2 libxi6 libxtst6 libpcre3-dev flex gnat

Most gcc is in C/C++, so we need to install any gcc compiler

To build Ada compiler (gnat), we need other Ada compiler. Hence we install any gnat version.

Clone gcc github repository. Only need to do once. When building each gcc version, we need only to clone from this local repository.

git clone https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc

Some gcc versions can only be built on a specific Ubuntu version. Here is the summary result of compiling gcc in various Ubuntu versions. Old versions can only be built on Ubuntu 16.04. Modern versions can be built/compiled on Ubuntu 20.04

Problem Compiling with Clang 16.0.0 in Ubuntu 20.04

I encountered a problem when compiling a C program with Clang compiler version 16.0.0 , in Ubuntu 20.04

Here is the error message:


clang -pipe -Wall -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=native -fopenmp=libiomp5 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/apr-1.0 binarytrees.gcc-3.c -lapr-1 -lm -o binarytrees
clang: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.30' not found (required by clang)
make[1]: *** [Makefile:7: binarytrees] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/waskita/energy-languages-internal/bench-clbg/Cclang/binarytrees'
make: *** [Makefile:2: compile] Error 2

Most likely reason: clang version 16.0.0 need GLIBCXX_3.4.30 , which is not available in Ubuntu 20.04

Solution: find newer libstdc++.so.6. In my case, I obtained it from gcc 12.1.0 in other directory.

Command to change:

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
rm libstdc++.so.6
ln -s /usr/local/gcc-12.1/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.30 libstdc++.so.6

Ethereum Merge

Update: March 24,2022

Ethereum
The Merge

Eventually the current Ethereum Mainnet will "merge" with the beacon chain proof-of-stake system.
This will mark the end of proof-of-work for Ethereum, and the full transition to proof-of-stake.
This is planned to precede the roll out of shard chains.
We formerly referred to this as "the docking."
This upgrade represents the official switch to proof-of-stake consensus. This eliminates the need for energy-intensive mining, and instead secures the network using staked ether. A truly exciting step in realizing the Ethereum vision – more scalability, security, and sustainability.
