| What is the difference between visceral and acute phase proteins? Posted: 12 Feb 2022 05:35 AM PST I know that acute phase proteins are upregulated when the body is experiencing inflammation, but don't know much about visceral phase proteins or what defines them. Could someone please help? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Could a sensitive gyroscope be used to measure the rotation of the galaxy? Posted: 11 Feb 2022 06:21 AM PST I've read that modern fiber-laser gyroscopes are sensitive enough to be used to measure the Earth's rotation. Could they be used to measure other rotating systems that the Earth is a part of? e.g. rotation around the sun, rotation of the solar system, rotation of the galaxy? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2022 09:38 PM PST I'm wondering if locations on the exact opposite side of the Earth from major volcanic eruptions are at some kind of risk for e.g. having their windows blown out. The thought was triggered by this animation. [link] [comments] |
| What number of Virions would be required to die from Rabies? Posted: 11 Feb 2022 04:59 PM PST Could a single Rabies virion entering the body kill somebody? Or would their immune system catch it? Is there any idea the viral load required to lead to a lethal infection and if under that bar does the body then express any antibodies to rabies? [link] [comments] |
| How come similar latitudes north and south don't experience the same climate? Posted: 11 Feb 2022 06:27 PM PST Base on this r/dataisbeautiful post it seems like southern hemisphere locations which are equidistant from the equator are not as cold as their northern counterparts. What causes this? [link] [comments] |
| What does partial colocalisation of a protein with the mitochondria mean? Posted: 12 Feb 2022 07:41 AM PST I was reading a journal article on parkinson's disease from frontiers in aging Neuroscience and came across this part, which I did not really understand. It said that 'TMEM230 is a transmembrane protein, partially colocalised with mitochondria.' What does 'partially colocalised' mean? My understanding is that when a protein is colocalised with something, it means that this protein can be found there. But what does it mean to be partially colocalised? Does that mean TMEM230 is not found inside of the mitochondria but as it's name suggests, part of TMEM230 is in the mitochondria (embedded in the membrane) while part of it is exposed to the other parts of the cell? I would like to confirm if my understanding of this is correct [link] [comments] |
| How is the heat contained of these so-called "mini suns" ? Posted: 11 Feb 2022 01:17 AM PST I saw on the news that some laboratory created a mini-sun that was sustained for 5 seconds and could provide an enormous amount of energy during the time it's 'alive'. This was in the context of nuclear power testing. My question is 2 folded: 1. It was said on the news that the heat this mini-sun produced was like 10 times hotter than the actual sun. What unholy magical material surrounds this heat that can keep it contained? How?
Thanks for your answers! Hope I was clear enough, I couldn't really find the news online [link] [comments] |
| How do [SpaceX] rockets track the amount of fuel they've used? Posted: 11 Feb 2022 11:27 PM PST I reckon a SpaceX rocket must need to keep track of how much fuel it's used in order to calculate how much it weighs so it lands nice and soft on the pad. Does it have to calculate the amount it will have used I'm advance, or does it do some figuring out on the fly? [link] [comments] |
| What is the jerk experienced by air resistance? Posted: 11 Feb 2022 02:37 PM PST Since the acceleration of an object is decreasing as it nears its terminal velocity it must be experiencing some negative jerk, my question is, what is it and how do you calculate it? [link] [comments] |
| Does UV-A light with a wavelength of 395-400nm have an effect on bacteria growth? Posted: 11 Feb 2022 07:10 AM PST I'm designing an experiment to examine the effect of probiotic bacteria exposure time to UV-A on the growth of the bacteria. I read a research article about the usage of UV-A for decontamination of healthcare-associated pathogens which the result was that UV-A proved to have an antimicrobial effect and was useful to modestly reduce bacteria in the environment. The UV-A light used in their experiment had a peak wavelength of 365nm and data was collected over 8 hours. However, the UV-A that I'll be using is a 30W device with 395nm UV-A rays. Does this UV-A device also have an antimicrobial effect? I expect to observe a lower level of decontamination because of the higher wavelength of the UV-A device I am using but I don't wish to not see any results, that's why I decided to make this post.

| Is it possible to create a screen based on reflected light instead of producing it's own light? Posted: 11 Feb 2022 09:55 AM PST I know old LCD screens would turn dark or light and didn't produce their own light, so you couldn't see them in the dark. b But what about color displays? [link] [comments] |
| When testing visual acuity, is the Snellen chart or Landolt C chart more accurate, and why? Posted: 11 Feb 2022 06:35 AM PST I can't find any studies from a Google search. Can anyone weigh in with an answer? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Feb 2022 06:51 AM PST So T-Cells have to go through a process in the Thymus where they are tested against receptors of normal body cells and if they react to them they are destroyed. This make sense because you wouldn't want them to accidentally fight body cells. But couldn't a pathogen theoretically have the exact same receptors as a normal body cells. How would the adaptive immune system respond to that if no T cells has the same receptors [link] [comments] |
| How are motors within a vacuum cooled? Posted: 10 Feb 2022 06:25 PM PST Most open-air motors rely on convection-based cooling (whether passively or actively cooled). How do engineers overcome the lack of air-cooling within a vacuum? Mount them to giat heatsinks? Different material composition? I can't find anything online explaining how they achieve this.

| Is it possible to be schizophrenic without having hallucinations? Posted: 10 Feb 2022 06:25 PM PST I was reading up on symptoms for Schizophrenia and noticed that all the major symptoms can be found:
But except for one major symptom which is the Hallucinations. Is it probable that you can be diagnosed with Schizophrenia without actually having hallucinations or would it be more probable that you're just having these symptoms and are actually diagnosed with something else i.e. BPD, Anxiety, Depression, etc..

| Do any seed banks contain genetic material or seeds for plants in the ocean/lakes? Posted: 10 Feb 2022 10:37 PM PST I've heard we have seed banks to be used if any mass extinctions ever happen again. Do these banks account for plants that live in the water? Do they contain seeds or genetic material for any deep sea fauna? Edit: also curious about if weed seeds are stored. If so, are different strains stored? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Feb 2022 04:53 AM PST Both Cardarine and Meldonium are used by athletes to help boost endurance and stamina. -Cardarine is a PPARδ receptor agonist that works by regulating expression of genes associated with contractile proteins, mitochondrial biogenesis, and lipid oxidation...essentially switching your body's preferred energy source from carbs to almost exclusively fat. It is believed this is the mechanism of action that causes the increase in endurance from cardarine. -Meldonium works by reducing the amount of carnitine in your body, which is needed for fat oxidation - thus reducing the oxidation of fat for energy and switching your body's preferred energy source to carbohydrates. It is believed this is the mechanism behind meldonium's ability to increase endurance. So cardarine switches your body to burning only fat, which increases endurance... And meldonium switches your body to burning only carbohydrates, which also increases endurance? How is it that these two contradicting mechanisms of action both increase endurance?

| Mineral wool insulation biosolubility compared to fiberglass insulation? Posted: 10 Feb 2022 06:13 PM PST All I was able to find is that mineral wool insulation MAY be less biosoluble than fiberglass according to this video from a toxicologist working for an insulation manufacturer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSJjipaPxUE. But cannot seem to find scientific studies showing the comparative relativity and how it would act in human physiology. [link] [comments] |
| Do other animals give a name to each other? Posted: 10 Feb 2022 02:42 PM PST I'm thinking of social animals able to emit sound… do they identify each other with specific names equivalent to our anthroponyms? [link] [comments] |
