| Posted: 16 Feb 2019 02:59 AM PST I'm talking about dead vertical potholes on asphalt that look like someone brought a jackhammer and made an almost perfectly round pothole. The ground around them looks in good condition and unaffected. What causes this to happen in a small part of the road and not the rest? [link] [comments]  |
| How do octopi kill sharks? Do they "drown"/suffocate them? Do they snap their bones? Posted: 16 Feb 2019 06:22 AM PST Saw a video on this and it's pretty crazy, but I am curious about the mechanism of how the shark actually dies. [link] [comments]  |
| Trans fat reduction: Are we healthier now? Posted: 15 Feb 2019 08:29 PM PST Dr. Walter Willett of the T.H. Chan School of Public Health at Harvard has been widely quoted as estimating that industrial trans fat elimination will prevent 90,000 deaths annually. Now that most of that has taken place, have reduced rates of coronary disease and associated deaths over the last few years shown up statistically? Or is it too early to know? [link] [comments]  |

| How often do wild animals get cancer? Posted: 16 Feb 2019 02:06 AM PST I have never heard of wild animals suffering from cancer, is there any documentation about this or reports that I have missed? I am wondering if there is any link between cancer and human society/activity (food, manufacturing, machinery, etc) because so far I have only heard of pets, animals with close contact to humans, ever getting cancer. Thank you :) [link] [comments]  |
| Why are some prions considered to be protease-resistant? Posted: 16 Feb 2019 04:05 AM PST I've tried searching around about what makes prions structure resistant to proteolysis, but I've come up with nothing. It would be appreciated if someone could explain to me how this change in secondary (higher percentage of beta sheets in disease causing prions) and tertiary structure makes a prion resistant to proteasomes.

| Posted: 16 Feb 2019 01:20 AM PST With every case of measles, the chance of mutation exists. I know that every virus has a different mutation rate, how high is measles compared to other diseases like chickenpox? When the new cases pop up, do they test that strain against the one used to make the vaccine? How exact do the antibodies given in the vaccine need to match to be effective? I have a 10 month old child and have been diligent in getting her vaccines and her MMR is due soon. Since she is still vulnerable, and we live in Las Vegas where visitors from all over the country and world come to spend money, I have been alarmed at the outbreaks and the possible consequences.

| What is the biological mechanism that caused malformations in inbreeding? Posted: 16 Feb 2019 02:33 AM PST Why is it that humans have a tendency to have birth defects? Why can some animals, like the cheetah, circumvent this mechanism? [link] [comments]  |
| What happens to addiction when You are in coma? Posted: 15 Feb 2019 08:49 PM PST When people for example addicted to nicotine, wake up from a coma, are they still addicted or can they immedietly quit? What about stronger addictions like heroine? Does doctors give special medications to addicts when they are still in coma? [link] [comments]  |

| How do our lungs get rid of particulate? Like smoke and sawdust and tiny foreign matter? Posted: 15 Feb 2019 06:33 PM PST I breathe an incredible amount of horrible things at my job. I wear a respirator when I am doing something really hazardous, but there is always a haze of dust in the air made of plastics, adhesives, paint, lacquer, ink, wood, and things like plywood and mdf. edit: and aluminum, lots of aluminum dust in the air.

| Posted: 16 Feb 2019 06:34 AM PST We had a discussion at lunch with my friends yesterday. Calcium Carbonate in water. Ok, as far as I know calcium carbonate is preeetty insoluble in destilled water, especially at pH 7.4. But Here is the question, if put in slightly acidic pH (6.0, lets say) will it increase the pH of the surrounding medium or will that stay the same? A penny for your thoughts. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Feb 2019 06:30 AM PST "Intensity" here meaning brightness/saturation of light as given by, for example, a Web hex color value. Why does Web color #0000FF look so dim compared to #FF0000? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there any way of knowing what was the supposed lifespan of dinosaurs? Posted: 15 Feb 2019 09:29 PM PST I mean if they didn't get hunted down or got killed by a rock falling to their heads. Do we know if Argentinosaurus lived to be hundred ? What about Spinosaurus, did they die at the ripe old age of 34? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Feb 2019 11:42 PM PST You can also assume that each of the entries can be given a score by the voters; like say 88/100 or something like that. Obviously, I don't require that the answer be weighted but I would love to see the reasoning behind why a weighted voting method would not work out well in this scenario over a non-weighted one; if that were to be the case. The number of voters is not that large, assume 6<n<12 wherein n stands for the number of voters. Also, the method I'm looking for should also try to minimize tactical voting as much as possible so that when one voter gives an entry a low score in a blatant effort to tank that entry's standing in the final ranking, the effect of the tactical vote is minimized. I've tried to search literature but some complicated terms come up, and as a layman with regards to this field, I would definitely love some help on this area of mathematics and/or statistics.
