| Posted: 07 Jan 2022 06:21 AM PST There were a lot of models early on that suggested that boosters stopped infection, or at least were effective at reducing the severity. Are there any states or countries that show real-world hospitalization metrics by vaccination status, throughout the current Omicron wave? [link] [comments] |

| How would a nuclear explosion in space differ from on the earth? Posted: 07 Jan 2022 09:25 AM PST I'm just wondering if vacuum of space and lack of gravity would change the explosion? I'm guessing because of the conservation of energy, more of the energy would be released as light or other electromagnetic waves, than a similar explosion on earth, where the energy is also distributed as sound waves, heat conduction, kinetic energy (moving rock / earth), etc. Is that right? and would there be any other major differences?

| Where do animals with no bones and circulatory systems generate their blood cells? Posted: 07 Jan 2022 05:05 AM PST Mammals, and I'd imagine other animals with bones, have evolved such that we produce red blood cells in our bone marrow. We're do octopuses and crabs and such produce their oxygen carrying blood cells? This was prompted by the front page post about octopuses having copper based blood cells… [link] [comments] |

| Is it be possible for a moon to be gaseous ? Posted: 07 Jan 2022 10:34 AM PST I am legitimately curious. Also let's assume the object the moon is orbiting and the moon has significant enough mass to remain gaseous [link] [comments] |

| Are faster moving objects relatively hotter than those standing relatively still? Posted: 07 Jan 2022 08:48 AM PST Would two objects travelling at different speeds, but otherwise having an identical "local" temperature have different temperatures when observed by a third party? My thought being that if temperature is a measurement of the speed of each atom's vibration - would the temperature measurement not need a reference frame for the speed to be relative to?

| Posted: 07 Jan 2022 09:54 AM PST Context: I am a high school student partaking in AP research. For my topic, I wanted to see if blood cell presence is affected during hair cell regeneration in zebrafish, which are well-known for their regenerative capabilities. My initial method was to take blood from adult zebrafish, but that would result in fish genocide. My second method was to use fluorescent dye so I can look under a microscope and visibly see changes in the blood components, but the materials are notoriously expensive and I do not know what material can identify both red and white blood cells. My third method, and current, method is to use the blood smearing method, but with zebrafish embryos. Instead of smearing blood across a film, zebrafish embryos can be distributed on it instead. Hemastain will then be used to mark the red and white blood cells. Is this method feasible? [link] [comments] |

| Can Eurotium Cristatum induce THC-like psychoactive effects? Posted: 06 Jan 2022 10:28 PM PST I like to drink a somewhat niche (at least in the USA) type of tea called fu cha (aka fu zhuan or fu brick tea). This is a type of fermented tea made from real tea (camellia sinensis) in which a particular type of mold growth is induced and presents as golden spores known as golden flowers/"jin hua". After drinking a somewhat large amount of fu cha and feeling some sensations I've not noticed from other teas, I noticed that they felt somewhat related to the sensations I get when using cannabis. Now I recognize the effects of caffeine, but I am a bit skeptical of some of the less understood psychoactive effects which can be ascribed to tea, like 'tea drunkenness' and cha qi. But the feelings I had from this were different and too significant to ignore. Don't get me wrong, this was maybe 20% - 30% of the intensity of being high from weed (at least for me). Nonetheless, the sensations were very similar but of milder degree. So I wanted to see if there was something to this idea, and I did some searching around. As is pretty well known, the golden flowers (jin hua) found in most fu cha are actually the mold Eurotium Cristatum. Doing a bit of digging, I found some research that explains that this mold has certain metabolites which exhibit some sought after immunoregulation properties. And moreover, these metabolites' structures can act like another chemical that has a profile of activity "which is similar to, though less potent than, A9-THC... and is capable of mimicking the psychoactive effects thereof." To a non-chemist like me, this sounds like it's possible that this mold could produce psychoactive effects at some threshold (likely varying person to person) which are similar to TCH. However, I have no meaningful experience in biochemistry or organic chemistry, so I am not sure if I am interpreting those research articles properly. But I think I am. Can someone with a better understanding double check my work? TLDR: Does the research I linked above suggest that Eurotium Cristatum ingestion can produce THC-like psychoactive effects? (Edit: And to anyone worried that I'm asking this in hopes of abusing or distributing this as a substitute for cannabis, I live in Oregon, USA so such activities would be neither time efficient nor cost effective.)

| does diabetic blood clot faster/slower? Posted: 07 Jan 2022 01:57 AM PST I know that diabetic sores can cause blood clots inside the body and all, but say, hypothetically, a diabetic person was stabbed. Would their blood take longer/shorter to clot than a non-diabetic's blood? [link] [comments] |
