What research has there been into blood clots developed from birth control, or why hasn't the problem been solved in the decades since the pill's introduction? Posted: 16 Apr 2021 03:32 PM PDT What could we do to help that? I was just made aware of this and it sounds alarming that no attention is being paid. submitted by /u/PaxNova [link] [comments]

Why does transistor miniaturization no longer yield proportional power savings? Posted: 17 Apr 2021 02:03 AM PDT For decades the shrinking of the transistor resulted in a proportional reduction in power requirements in a process called Dennard scaling. Since 2006 each successive shrinking has yielded less than proportional power savings. Why is this and can anything be done? submitted by /u/Morzo_Voidmaster [link] [comments]

What makes some plants survive frost and snow? Posted: 16 Apr 2021 11:25 AM PDT Some plants, despite look flimsy can survive low temperatures and being covered in ice and snow. Others, even if they look "hard" and tough will just die if there's a bit of frost. Same with trees. It's also not all or nothing and there's a spectrum of low temperatures that some plants can tolerate. So what do these plants that resist low temperatures have that others don't? submitted by /u/doubtful_correlation [link] [comments]

What determines the unique ways that different types of viruses are able to infect humans? Posted: 16 Apr 2021 08:56 PM PDT My question isn't so much about how different viruses are able to infect humans, but why those viruses are able to infect people the way that they do. For example, why is that hantavirus is primarily transmitted by inhalation of particles of rodent saliva, droppings, or urine that are stirred into the air, but not spread from one infected person to another? Is it just pure chance that HIV, for example, formed the way it did to spread through blood, and not through respiratory droplets such as SARS-CoV-2, or skin to skin contact like measles? submitted by /u/smeggydcheese [link] [comments]

I recently got a Covid mRNA vaccine. How long does it take to translate the injected mRNA to Spike Proteins? Posted: 16 Apr 2021 12:24 PM PDT When the mRNA successfully enters body cells, how long does it take to translate a piece of mRNA to an actual spike protein? How many Spike Proteins can be generated from one piece of mRNA? submitted by /u/Jazzlike_Ad7669 [link] [comments]

Can take-out food be contaminated by COVID-19? If so, what’s the best way to mitigate that risk? Should we be reheating food then? Posted: 16 Apr 2021 11:15 PM PDT submitted by /u/swinging_door [link] [comments]

Is there any known method, given ¬CH, to construct a set whose cardinality is between the integers and the reals? Posted: 16 Apr 2021 02:57 PM PDT My understanding of the Continuum Hypothesis is that, because it's independent of ZFC, you can essentially choose to do mathematics given that it's true or given that it's false, like the axiom of choice. Unless a more powerful set of axioms is found which can prove CH. So, if you take it as false, can a method be found to construct a set that's larger than the integers and smaller than the reals? More generally, do mathematicians have any intuition of what sets between N and R would look like under ¬CH? submitted by /u/wm_cra_dev [link] [comments]

Do single-eyed people behave (slightly/in certain tasks) differently depending on which eye is the healty one? (because of the fact that there are two brain hemispheres). Posted: 16 Apr 2021 08:18 AM PDT If the sides of our brain specialize in different tasks, then I assume that there should be a difference in behaviour depending on the side that is processing the visual information. This question came to me after watching CGP Grey's video about the two brain sides https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfYbgdo8e-8 ​ Of course the two sides are connected (well except when they are not), but this fact shouldt change too much how informations is processed because of the locality of the processing. submitted by /u/lusvd [link] [comments]

Do plants suffer negative genetic effects from inbreeding the way animals do? Posted: 16 Apr 2021 08:59 AM PDT Was reading this article linked from posting by u/MistWeaver80. It said Hummingbirds can travel further between flowers than can bees, which might reduce plant inbreeding. (bold mine) submitted by /u/GMOsYMMV [link] [comments]

How does the body handle lack of Oxygen before new blood cells are made due to Erythropoietin? Posted: 16 Apr 2021 12:36 PM PDT I read that when the body lacks Oxygen, and after Erythropoietin production, it takes up to 5 days before new red blood cells are made How does the body handle the lack of Oxygen in the meantime? submitted by /u/Davidj1213 [link] [comments]

Do SSRIs (Selective serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) cause an increase in serotonin receptors in the brain? Posted: 16 Apr 2021 07:20 AM PDT So I remember that I've read somewhere that when coffee is consumed regularly your body will develop a tolerance to it by increasing the number of adenosine receptors in your brain which will cause it to lose its effect. However, when initially taking SSRIs, they do not have any effect on you whatsoever, they only start working after 1 to 3 weeks of taking them and they will reach their full effect after even more weeks have passed. So my question is: Do SSRIs increase the number of serotonin receptors in your brain just like how coffee does for adenosine, causing them to lose their effect in the long run? If not, why is that the case for SSRIs and not for coffee? submitted by /u/nervousfiend [link] [comments]

When whales and other aquatic animals come out of the water, does their eyesight become blurry like ours do going into the water? How do amphibious animals handle seeing in and out of water? Posted: 15 Apr 2021 07:29 PM PDT I saw a video the other day of a whale poking it's eye out of the water to get a better look at a boat and it got me to wondering would it make their sight blurry. submitted by /u/Ghotihook13 [link] [comments]
