It's not connected to anything but is (static?) clinging to the "nut"/legume itself, it must have dried off of something?

Can someone please explain the name of the newest covid variant B.1.1.529 ?

Posted: 26 Nov 2021 12:55 AM PST

I know it is based on PANGO system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylogenetic_Assignment_of_Named_Global_Outbreak_Lineages

Can you explain how does the PANGO system work?

Does it always start with a letter? What does the letter means?

What does the dot means?

What does the number mean?

I know the complete explanation is here: https://www.pango.network/the-pango-nomenclature-system/statement-of-nomenclature-rules/

But it is too difficult for me to understand.

Historically speaking, how was breathing/respiration explained?

Posted: 26 Nov 2021 07:31 AM PST

People must have been aware that you need to breathe in order to stay alive. How did they try to explain this before the modern explanation was established?

Is it possible to make depleted radioactive compounds more radioactive again?

Posted: 26 Nov 2021 02:31 AM PST

I've got no idea how But since radioactive compounds decay into other compounds wouldn't it be possible to put the compounds back ?

What holds the debris together of an object that has been torn apart by tidal forces around a larger body after crossing it's Roche limit? Or how large can those remnants be?

Posted: 26 Nov 2021 02:57 AM PST

Hi, hope you are all well. When a planet, moon, etc. crosses the Roche limit of a larger, more massive body, and is torn apart, what sets the limit on how small those fragments can be, and is there a calculable lower limit on their size?

Thanks!

Can a paralyzed body part still convulse during a seizure? Like, if someone is paralyzed from the waist down, will their legs still convulse during a seizure?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 09:00 PM PST

I honestly don't know how this question came to my mind.

I've heard the eyes are an independent microbiome from the rest of the body, but is each eye an independent microbiome from one another? Or, if they are connected, how? Maybe through the optic nerve?

Do inflammatory markers vary over time?

Posted: 26 Nov 2021 05:26 AM PST

I work on a ward with elderly patients and notice that not all have clearly raised inflammatory markers with infection, some of them have random fluctuations day by day. What could be causing this ? A one day lasting cause? (often its ptients with various comorbidities)?

Can an object be accelerated to (almost) the speed of light arbitrarily fast?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 07:32 PM PST

Or is there a physical limit to acceleration as well as speed? Thank you.

how do we know what killed the dinosaurs?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 11:12 PM PST

(which flair?) to elaborate my question: is there proof of it being a asteroid that wiped the dinosaurs or is it just assumptions made since its the most logical conclusion? edit:thanks for the answers

Does tiny almost not noticeable eartquakes happend regulary?

Posted: 26 Nov 2021 07:27 AM PST

I've noticed something strange. sometimes i feel like what i would describe as an extremely gentle earthquake feeling. Like something is very gently shaking everything from side to side. Any idea what this could be? ive ruled out all kinds of stuff like trucks etc. could it be actual eartquake but soft?

Covid attacks cells in the olfactory epithelium to cause loss of taste and smell, can't these cells eventually regenerate from basal cells in the epithelium, given enough time?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 07:58 PM PST

one would think that unless covid destroyed every single basal cell, these cells would eventually multiple and replace damaged cells in the olfactory epithelium, thus restoring taste and smell. depending on the damage, it could take a very long time, but in theory wouldn't these senses have to return?

Can electroless plating be "masked" to not deposit?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 10:55 PM PST

In a copper electroless plating process using Formalin as the reducing agent, any part of the substrate treated with a borohydride salt solution gets plated in copper.

The whole substrate needs to be dipped in the borohydride salt, but some sections of the substrate do not need to be plated. Is there anything I can apply to the substrate (or mix into a resin) to mask sections from being plated?

My first thought is a very thin coat of oil, however I think that might come off and contaminate the plating and borohydride baths.

Thank you!

Do things get cold faster in colder environments?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 12:39 PM PST

Title basically. But for example if a cube was in a -70 F room and the same cube was in a -30 F room which one would reach -20 F first if they both started at same higher temperature.

Does bronze or copper release toxic fumes when exposures to fire?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 09:56 PM PST

I'm working on a Christmas gift and want to be sure I don't harm anyone that uses it. It will be exposed to fire for short periods of time. It's a cocktail smoker.
