Search what already failed

A searchable index of real negative results, null findings, and replication failures from the published literature — so you can learn what didn't work before repeating it.

WASTE indexes published research — it does not host or republish full papers. Each entry is a metadata record (title, authors, DOI) compiled from open scholarly databases, with the abstract shown in full only where the paper is openly licensed (e.g. Creative Commons); otherwise a short excerpt is shown for reference under fair use. WASTE classifies each work by failure type; classifications are automated and approximate.

Influence de l’Agitation Mécanique sur les Reactions Chimiques Oscillantes en Présence d’Oxygène ou d’Azote

Vincent J. Farage, Désimir Janjic · 1981 · CHIMIA

In certain cases, and particularly for the BrO3-/Ce4+/malonic acid system, oxygen seems to inhibit oscillations and the mechanical stirring in a N2 atmosphere has no significant effect on the oscillations. However, for the BrO3-/Ce4+/Cyclohexanon and BrO3-/Ce4+/Cyclopentanon systems under specific experimental conditions, stirring plays a determining part and oxygen has no notable effect on the oscillations.

The Effect of Inclination Angle on Critical Heat Flux in a Locally Heated Liquid Film Moving Under the Action of Gas Flow in a Mini-Channel

Tkachenko Egor M., Zaitsev Dmitry V. · 2016 · MATEC Web of Conferences

Intensively evaporating liquid films moving under the action of the cocurrent gas flow in a microchannel are promising for the use in modern cooling systems of semiconductor devices with high local heat release. This work has studied the dependence of the critical heat flux on the inclination angle of the channel. It has been found that the inclination angle in the plane parallel to the flow has no significant effect on the critical heat flux. Whereas the inclination angle in the plane perpendicular to the flow, on the contrary, significantly changes the value of the critical heat flux. Howeve

An elusive vector dark matter

Chuan-Ren Chen, Yu-Kuang Chu, Ho-Chin Tsai · 2015 · Physics Letters B

Even though the sensitivity of direct dark matter search experiments reaches the level of about 10−45 cm2, no confident signal of dark matter has been observed. We point out that, if dark matter is a vector boson, the null result in direct dark matter search experiments may be due to the destructive effects in dark-matter–nucleon elastic scattering. We illustrate the scenario using a modified Higgs portal model that includes exotic quarks. The significant cancellation can occur for a certain mass gap between new heavy quark and dark matter. As a result, the spin-independent dark-matter–nucleon

Disruption of the BMEI0066 gene attenuates the virulence of Brucella melitensis and decreases its stress tolerance

Xinglin Zhang, Jie Ren, Na Li, Wenjuan Liu, Qingmin Wu · 2009 · International Journal of Biological Sciences

Brucella melitensis is a facultative intracellular pathogen. An operon composed of BMEI0066, which encodes a two-component response regulator CenR, and BMEI0067, which encodes a cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory subunit, has been predicted to exist in many bacterial species. However, little is known about the function of this operon. In order to characterize this operon and assess its role in virulence, we constructed a marked deletion mutant of BMEI0066. The mutant was less able to withstand hyperosmotic conditions than wild-type (16M), but showed no significant difference with 16M whe
