| Ask Anything Wednesday - Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science Posted: 17 Nov 2021 07:00 AM PST Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science Do you have a question within these topics you weren't sure was worth submitting? Is something a bit too speculative for a typical /r/AskScience post? No question is too big or small for AAW. In this thread you can ask any science-related question! Things like: "What would happen if...", "How will the future...", "If all the rules for 'X' were different...", "Why does my...". Asking Questions: Please post your question as a top-level response to this, and our team of panellists will be here to answer and discuss your questions. The other topic areas will appear in future Ask Anything Wednesdays, so if you have other questions not covered by this weeks theme please either hold on to it until those topics come around, or go and post over in our sister subreddit /r/AskScienceDiscussion , where every day is Ask Anything Wednesday! Off-theme questions in this post will be removed to try and keep the thread a manageable size for both our readers and panellists. Answering Questions: Please only answer a posted question if you are an expert in the field. The full guidelines for posting responses in AskScience can be found here. In short, this is a moderated subreddit, and responses which do not meet our quality guidelines will be removed. Remember, peer reviewed sources are always appreciated, and anecdotes are absolutely not appropriate. In general if your answer begins with 'I think', or 'I've heard', then it's not suitable for /r/AskScience. If you would like to become a member of the AskScience panel, please refer to the information provided here. Past AskAnythingWednesday posts can be found here. Ask away! [link] [comments] |
| Can Covid-19 be spread by mosquitoes? Posted: 17 Nov 2021 07:47 AM PST This is something that's been bothering me since the start of the pandemic. We know mosquitoes can transmit pathogens, so is it possible that mosquitoes can transmit Covid-19? [link] [comments] |

| Does the IFR of an infectious disease change with time? Posted: 17 Nov 2021 01:45 AM PST That is, if we somehow had access to the real-time total infection and death numbers, would the IFR be same for all points in time or would it change? edit: my question assumes baseline conditions which I guess in the context of (let's say) Covid-19 would mean the status in 2019.

| How are new strains of HIV discovered? Posted: 17 Nov 2021 11:14 AM PST Hello all, Hypothetically, if someone had a mutated strain of HIV that isn't detected by standard antibody tests, how would that strain ever be discovered? Or would the mutated strain of HIV cause the individual to produce antibodies that are still detectable by the test? Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Nov 2021 06:36 AM PST I had always heard this growing up, and this sentiment was voiced heavily by a groundskeeper I worked with as a teen. It always struck me as an odd thing to say as they are the same species and I never really saw them be more or less aggressive to humans or other animals. Squirrel on squirrel? Yeah, sure. But the same could be said of grey's. Every site I've looked makes this claim as well, with hints towards a believed higher testosterone level. What's there to believe? Do they have higher testosterone levels or not? Has no one done any research on this? [link] [comments] |
| At what temperature will nomex material sustain combustion and not self extinguish? Posted: 17 Nov 2021 06:33 AM PST Hello I'm kinda stuck with this one and literature searches haven't helped. Is there a temperature where nomex aramid material will sustain combustion after a source of flame is removed? I know at room temp, and even at around 200 Celsius, if the source of flame is removed, the nomex material will self extinguish. Does anyone have experience or a literature source which states at what temperature self extinguishment no longer occurs and fire is sustained? [link] [comments] |

| Can the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein enter the nucleus of a human cell? Posted: 16 Nov 2021 03:40 PM PST I have tried but I can't find a straight answer on the internet. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| How do optical/ photonic chips initiate a process? Posted: 17 Nov 2021 12:23 AM PST Currently we are at an experimental stage with this method of computer processing. I understand how a photon based method provides an advantage - but how does the process actually begin? I'm assuming at this stage in development there is an initial, traditional electronic initiation which transitions into a photonic process and then back again correct? Surely this is a bottle neck. Will this/ could this ever be resolved? If so how? [link] [comments] |
| Why do our hair turn white as we grow old? Posted: 16 Nov 2021 01:55 AM PST |
| Does menstrual cycle effect COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness? Posted: 16 Nov 2021 10:51 PM PST I know there are certain times during the menstrual cycle when the immune system may be a bit weaker. Does this have any implications for the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine? Are there certain times during the cycle where receiving the vaccine would be more effective, or does it not seem to make a huge difference? [link] [comments] |
