Dear All, I have a small but a serious doubt. Yesterday night i did some homework on one of my knols and i uploaded some illustration and photographs too.  But unfortunately today morning when i checked two of them, the latest two were missing, I was really shocked and saddened but today again in the after noon again I was doing
 the some same job to post it again an hour later it suddenly appeared, I don't know how this happened i do not remember i put that into the open collaboration mode.   If its in Open collaboration mode someone can remove everything is n't it. now i am worried about some of my knols which are in open category, any way i always keep an extra copy in my file,  Thank God its now there, i changed it to moderate collaboration if its in that cat. others can't delete it.  what is the other solution if suppose it got deleted?

22. Does behavioral finance advocate trading like technical analysis?
Answer
Only if there is a behavioral explanation about the "signals" found (for example a detection of investor underreaction or overreaction). In other cases, TA is considered as "representativeness heuristic", a simplified way to interpret data and a belief that the past can tell what the future will be, which can lead to "noise trading" and "overtrading" with too much money spent on brokerage fees.

23. What is white noise?  
The collaboration of biologists Joseph Martin and William Saidel and computer scientist Dawei Hong  reveals that noise has biological benefits. Specifically, the Rutgers-Camden researchers produced a mathematical theory promoting the idea that white noise actually enhances hearing, a discovery that could lead to major improvements in hearing-aid technology. This interesting news I found in the Rutgers Magazine. Though it still does not answer the question. - Sajid Khan

24. Is there any knol with 100,000 visitors?
Answer
 
At of right now, it looks like The Self by Kevin Spaulding is it, with 104540 page views. (Now, a page view is not the same as a unique visitor, as a person returning to the knol multiple times generates multiple page views but is only one visitor.)

To see the most viewed knols, one technique is to go to the Search Toolkit, search for some common word (such as "the") and sort by visitors. Here .

25. What are daily page views of Knol?
Answer
The answer may be simple. It may represent how many people watches the corresponding page. (if my understanding is not right, please revise my answer) Sungjin Kim 25.4.2009
 
Daily page views of Knol is an interesting statistics or metric that tells how popular is knol. We as authors will feel happy as mile stone after mile stone is crossed by knol. The page view figure fluctuates but we compare peak after peak.
 
It will be good if knol platform marketing team annouces this measure periodically. Actual there can be knol counters to give various measures of knol performance. It may become the most popular knol page.
 
Counter for number of new knols published and cumulative knols.
Counter for number of authors registered and cumulative number of authors
Page views per day and cumulative page views.
 
I am sure many knol authors will visit such a page every time they come to knol. Many visitors may visit it. Many other news agencies will visit it. It will be a very useful page. Narayana Rao K.V.S.S. 25.4.2009

26. Is there a way to delete or alter author's selection of favorite knols
Answer

Yes. Visit the knol that you want to remove from your list of "favorite knols". Click on the star, to cause it to toggle off. If you go back to your profile page, you will see that is no longer in your list of favorite knols.

Initially the question and answer board is implemented by writing and answering questions in this space.
 
But Mr. McNally (Tech Lead of Knol) questioned why we are not using comments facility which gives a more attractive format for question and answers.
 
So the way of implementing Q & A board is changed.

    1. The concept of photon is that it is massless, has no electric charge, and is stable.

      As it has no electric charge,electricity can't be tranmitted through it.
