Does surviving a viral infection always result in immunity?

Posted: 28 Jan 2020 01:55 AM PST

Let's take ebola, for example. I've ready that it has about a 10% survival rate. Do those survivors become immune for life, or can they get re-infected and suffer symptoms again?

How can we hear for example 50Hz sound waves when its wave length is several times the length of our ears?

If you forced different gases through a whistle, would it change the sound?

Why do we sometimes observe accreting black holes with asymmetric jet structure?

Posted: 28 Jan 2020 12:39 AM PST

It is my understanding that spinning black holes emit two jets in opposite directions if they accrete matter. However, if you look at black holes such as the AGN in M87, you only really observe one of these jets. Why is the other jet not visible, or why is it not there?

How Does Alcohol Kill Viruses?

If viruses are not living, how does alcohol 'kill' them? Or does it act like an enzyme/protein inhibitor to disrupt the protein coat?

Why has the human eye evolved to form real images instead of virtual images?

What evolutionary advantage did forming real images give?

Does metals gets red at the same temperature?

Posted: 28 Jan 2020 01:19 AM PST

My question is, are the metals (1000+C melt) getting red at the same temperature? And can we visually tell that it's already a liquid, if we use some levitation magic like induction furnace?

Can small particles like sequins get stuck on stomach or intestinal linings or other parts of the GI tract?

Can stuff like that get stuck on GI tract linings and potentially cause problems later on in the future?

Why do people barely get hungry when sick, even if the illness has nothing to do with their stomach?

How does a fractional distillation column work?

Posted: 27 Jan 2020 11:38 AM PST

So I am entertaining the thought of producing deuterium oxide from seawater in a lab environment using (fractional? don't know if this is any different from normal) distillation. I wanted to know how it works. So if I were boiling off seawater trying to distill deuterium, which of the two would remain in the original glass and what would make its way to the top to go through a condenser? I haven't even taken a high school chemistry course, but I can usually understand it when it's explained properly. If you want specifics for anything for any reason, ask please.

Thanks!

When thinking about light, does a higher Kelvin rating include all the wavelengths below it?

Posted: 27 Jan 2020 10:47 AM PST

I'm trying to understand the concept of Kelvin in terms of light wavelengths. To my understanding 'white' is all light wavelengths together, so a 5000K or 6500K light would have all wavelengths where a 3000K light would only have the yellows and oranges. Is this correct? Because in listening to some YouTube videos to try and figure it out I've heard both explanations, so just wanting to know what the correct answer is. Should I just get the highest Kelvin lightbulb I can find to insure as many wavelengths of the light spectrum are included?

What is the difference in technology between how a touch screen works and a track pad?

Posted: 27 Jan 2020 04:02 PM PST

I ask this since the rubber bit on the end of my pen works as a stylus on my phone, but not on a laptop track pad.

Why do lipids move so fast in the plasma membrane?

Posted: 27 Jan 2020 03:19 PM PST

Lipids can rotate and move laterally (sometimes flip), but I don't understand what forces actually makes this occur. Is it the electric field? Are lipids in a constant migration dodging something? Surely all that movement isn't stochastic.

More of a biophysics question but I can't add two flairs.

Why do lipids need lipoproteins to be carried through the bloodstream if they are insoluble in it?

Posted: 27 Jan 2020 01:54 PM PST

First off I'm sorry if there is a "NoStupidQuestions for Science" subreddit that I missed when looking.

I was wondering why lipids need transport carriers such as lipoproteins to travel through the bloodstream if they are already insoluble in it? Is there something else from which the lipoproteins protect the lipids or some other purpose?
