| Are Mediterranean cyclone storm systems becoming more regular? Posted: 18 Sep 2020 11:47 AM PDT On September 18th 2020 a Mediterranean cyclone storm (Hurricane) battered the western coast of Greece: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/18/greece-lashed-by-rare-hurricane-force-storm. The last time this happened was 2018 and it was reported as an "extremely rare event". I wonder if global warming has made it more likely these types of storm systems to occur. Is there evidence for this hypothesis? Are other regions in the central/eastern Mediterranean also potentially affected: Sicily, Libya, Egypt, Israel, Syria, Cyprus, Turkey? [link] [comments]  |
| How far can an earthquake seismic wave travel until it reaches a magnitude of 0.0? Posted: 19 Sep 2020 12:08 AM PDT Assuming an earthquake of a magnitude of 6.0 hits Los Angeles as an epicenter, how far will a seismic wave travel until it's no longer detectable by instruments?

| Posted: 18 Sep 2020 11:41 AM PDT I've heard that the vaccine for Covid-19 would only be about 60-70% effective. Not sure if that is 100% correct or not, but I know it wasn't 100% effective. So, what I was wondering, does that also mean that vaccines for small pox, measles, polio, etc. are also not 100% effective? Or even down to 60-70% effective? Or is that effective rate dependent upon what it is meant to go after? Or is it based on the person getting the vaccine and how their body accepts it? Or both? None? Other? Thanks!

| Do DNA error checking routines exist? Posted: 18 Sep 2020 06:27 PM PDT When files are copied on a computer there is an error checking routine which compares the original to the new file as it is being written. Is there an error checking routine for DNA which just breaks down as we get older or does error checking not exist? Might errors be intentional so that new approaches might be tried out?

| Posted: 18 Sep 2020 10:48 AM PDT We're taking more samples from people than ever. I'm wondering if the samples taken could also be used to monitor other infections to improve our understanding of other pathogens. Also, is human DNA also being unintentionally collected with these swabs? It's a dark thought, but are we surrendering our DNA unwittingly when we submit to these tests? I hope that there is some oversight preventing this kind of breach of privacy. It seems to be a tremendous opportunity for a controlling government (say China) to gain a huge genetic dataset on their own population. [link] [comments]  |
| What determines which fission products are produced? Posted: 18 Sep 2020 09:32 AM PDT When a neutron is absorbed by a u235 nucleus, what precisely determines which fission products are produced? Is it the exact location into the nucleus in which the neutron is absorbed, the energy of the neutron? Or something else? [link] [comments]  |
| How are modern transistors manufactured? Posted: 18 Sep 2020 05:20 AM PDT With the current generation of GPU's and CPU's being released and talked about I keep seeing terms like 14nm and 7nm being thrown around. I sort of took this as an arbitrary number for a while and didn't think about it. However when I started doing some research, I realized that 14nm's is only ~7 silicon atoms wide. With that in mind, the NVIDIA 3080 is advertised as having 10's of billions of transistors. How is it possible to manufacture these on such scale to supply demand, and without error so that the chips actually work. [link] [comments]  |
