| Why can the Gamma Knife procedure only be used on brain tumors? Posted: 11 Feb 2019 03:15 AM PST In 2014 I had a craniotomy followed by Gamma Knife a month later to treat a brain tumor. Gamma Knife is a relatively non-invasive procedure with a high success rate after just one treatment. Everything I've read shows this procedure only can be used on brain tumors. Does this treatment not work on other tumors? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 10 Feb 2019 11:30 AM PST The Nile is arguably one of the most important rivers in the world, and it forms a Delta near the ocean, yet there aren't any large obstacles where it splits, something like a mountain or rock. That being considered, why does it split? [link] [comments]  |

| Can mist be manipulated by static charge? Posted: 11 Feb 2019 06:49 AM PST Hi, does anyone know if mist (produced via ultrasonic diffusion) is reactive to static electricity? Or knows of how I may manipulate its movement with static? I know water flowing from a tap can be "bent" when an object with negative/positive charge goes near it. Might the same apply for mist? I tried using an off-the-shelf ion generator to manipulate a small bit of mist, and managed to "coax" the mist out of its container through a small slit.I'm wondering if this could be scaled up, say, by using electrostatic spray guns and water. Would water with the same "charge" from two separate spray guns "repel" each other if I target the two streams toward each other? I'm also wondering if there is any other kind of "invisible" force that may influence the movement of mist. (e.g. mist when placed in a vacuum would/might fill up the space rapidly).

| Posted: 11 Feb 2019 05:40 AM PST If lets say the mother ( lets name her Karen) of the child had aquired the MMR vaccine during her childhood, but does not want her child to get vaccinated with the same vaccine as she got, is it possible for the child to have inherited the vaccine or is the only possible way for the child to be protected by having the vaccine itself?

| Why are some types of plastic transparent when heated, but turn white when cooled down? Posted: 11 Feb 2019 06:42 AM PST I work in extrusion of different plastics (high density PE, PP) and when it leaves the heated extruder it is perfectly see-through, but turns white when cooled down. For PE (polyethylene) especially the effect is very remarkable. How does heat affect the transparency of polymer plastics? [link] [comments]  |
| What are activated materials? (ITER / Fusion reactors) Posted: 11 Feb 2019 05:40 AM PST I've been checking out the website for the ITER project in France, and one thing caught my eye on this page: https://www.iter.org/mach/hotcell It mentions "Activated materials" what exactly are these materials?

| Posted: 10 Feb 2019 09:07 PM PST Do areas that have lakes tend to have stronger storms or heavier rainfall? Or in other words, do storms tend to be stronger over Lakes? I ask because it seems that when it's storming in my area that it looks worse on the bridge that is above a lake and the rain and lightning seems to be stronger in that area. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2019 11:56 PM PST Many sources credit Stenhouse with discovery due to this work (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rstl.1848.0004), but Lamy isolated it and gave the correct formula for years later. Evidently Stenhouse's discovery is on page 76 of that source but I can't seem to verify it. Thankful for any help. [link] [comments]  |

| Why does flipping a quartz clock stator reverse the direction of the motor? Posted: 10 Feb 2019 08:42 PM PST I'm currently working on a project that necessitates making a quartz clock run backwards. I found tons of great material online that led to the simple hack of taking the stator plate and flipping it over and re-inserting it back into the coil. However, from a physics perspective I don't understand why this works (after all if you flip change the direction of a nail in the simplest of electromagnets, nothing should change). I've found some sources (https://backwardstime-moddy.blogspot.com/) that claim the stator is magnetic and has polarity like a horseshoe, hence flipping it over reverses the direction. However, I also found resources (http://www.engineerguy.com/videos/learn-more/physics-teacher-crane-quartz.pdf) citing that the stator doesn't have polarity. Other sources say the shape of the stator is the cause for direction. I'd love for someone to help me understand what's truth, and the physics behind it. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
