How do animals know what to do with their eggs? How do they know something is going to hatch from it? Posted: 24 May 2020 01:27 AM PDT Do animals just intrinsically know that their eggs are going to hatch the first time they lay fertilized eggs? submitted by /u/manv33rc [link] [comments]

How do you account for a large numerical disparity between two groups when doing opinion polling? Posted: 24 May 2020 03:19 AM PDT To preface: While this stems from the ongoing unpleasantness, this is not a political thread and I'm not seeking political feedback. There was a poll done recently about public opinion re: wearing masks but someone pointed out that this paints a false picture in that it makes it seem like there are two more or less equal groups on either side of the issue when that hasn't borne out with other research done specifically on that idea. How does statistical analysis, and more specifically this sort of polling, take into account a large disparity in the actual number of pro/con respondents? In terms of answer complexity, please assume that I'm functionally five years old when it comes to math. I'm mod of /r/dyscalculia for a reason. submitted by /u/HeloRising [link] [comments]

What is the average for short-term memory sentence recall? Posted: 24 May 2020 05:21 AM PDT I tend to underline the key points of the books I read, and immediately write them down in a notebook from memory. I struggle with sentences longer than 20 words. I always reread after writing to detect any possible mistake that I may have made, then I add corrections in red when needed. After I while, I can see that I have no corrections in sentences up to 21 words. But every single sentence with at least 30 words has something in red: a comma, an inverted order of terms, the use of a synonym instead of the original word... How dumb am I compared to the average foe? Thanks! submitted by /u/edefakiel [link] [comments]

My eyeglasses have clear lenses, which obviously let light through - so why do they cast a totally dark shadow on the wall? Posted: 23 May 2020 10:01 PM PDT Just noticed this - the lenses of my glasses were totally indistinguishable from the plastic frames or my hand holding them. The shadow on the wall looked equally dark for all! What gives? submitted by /u/Aggabator [link] [comments]

If a planet spins faster does the altitude of its geostationary orbit drop?

What are the deciding factors in the altitude that a plane flies? Posted: 24 May 2020 04:47 AM PDT In these days of ever increasing economical efficiency, what are the main factors taken into consideration when determining the most fuel efficient altitude to fly? Why is it 30,000 feet instead of 20,000... 10,000... or 5,000? Surely it takes a relatively large amount of fuel to get the plane 1,000 feet higher in the air. So why do they fly so high up? submitted by /u/maverickf11 [link] [comments]

Can human sweat transmit viral infections? Posted: 24 May 2020 03:05 AM PDT My wife and I enjoy watching cooking shows and are sometimes grossed out by cooks dripping sweat in/on their stations. Is our grossed out reaction unfounded? Are we just overlooking that cooked food is cooked? Are viruses transmitted via sweat? submitted by /u/PerspicaciousPony [link] [comments]

The Doppler effect. Does it change a sound's pitch, or does it change the sound's speed? Posted: 24 May 2020 02:35 AM PDT If say a siren is passing by, and is changing in pitch (a two tone siren, or a oscillating siren sound) would the oscillation, or the frequency the two tones change at change also, or would it just be the perceived pitch? submitted by /u/shokalion [link] [comments]

How hot is the interstellar and intragalactic space in dense galaxy clusters?

How does an antibody test detect the presence of Covid-19, a virus? Posted: 23 May 2020 11:51 PM PDT I thought antibodies fight against bacteria submitted by /u/Porksi [link] [comments]

Don't antibody tests need to detect multiple configurations of antibodies? Posted: 23 May 2020 12:43 PM PDT I'm under the impression that multiple antibodies with different binding site structures can be made by different people for the same pathogen. Every piece of literature I read refer to "the antibody" for a certain pathogen like it's some kind of singular monolithic thing, where in reality I think antibodies for a certain pathogen are actually pluralistic things with a certain degree of variability? There is no "antibody." There is no "the antibody" for SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 for instance can have multiple unique areas on their protein structures in which multiple different antibodies can be generated, so one recovered patient can have slightly different antibodies compared to another recovered patient, but both of their antibodies will still bind to different unique areas of SARS-CoV-2. There are even companies that have whittled down numerous different antibody candidates to a few that have especially high neutralizing abilities against SARS-COV-2, the point being that multiple different antibodies can bind to one pathogen. So when people talk about an "antibody test," what are they talking about, exactly? Does the test actually detect the presence of multiple different antibodies, all of which have demonstrated binding effects with the virus? Or do the tests only detect one specific configuration of antibody, and can miss other antibody configurations, resulting in a false negative (the patient actually had been infected and did produce antibodies, just not the ones that the test is specific for). submitted by /u/rabidsoggymoose [link] [comments]

Are any of the human body's natural responses to bacterial infections also effective against viruses? Posted: 24 May 2020 02:11 AM PDT I'm talking mainly about antibodies on a serum level. submitted by /u/instantpowdy [link] [comments]

What are the effects of CBD on REM sleep? Posted: 23 May 2020 10:22 PM PDT From what I know, THC has a negative effect on sleep cycles and kills REM sleep. Does CBD do the same? submitted by /u/pokap91 [link] [comments]

Do neurons or other cells generate biologically functional magnetic fields? Posted: 22 May 2020 06:20 PM PDT Just learning about electromagnetism, and I'm curious whether anything is known about magnetic fields generated during action potentials. Do charged molecules interact/move with magnetic fields for functional purposes in our body? Further, do any human cells use magnetic interactions to communicate? Do any other animals use magnetism to communicate? Is there a magnetic-gated channel perhaps, similar to a voltage-gated channel? Thanks! submitted by /u/dryobfehc [link] [comments]

What is the electrical current actually doing in am antenna? Posted: 22 May 2020 09:14 AM PDT From what I've read so far, an antenna is just a conductive piece of metal and radio waves induce an electric current in it which can be decoded into sound or images. But a piece of metal can't discriminate and is being bombarded by every radio and TV station and wifi signal and garage remote in the area right? So are the electrons just flying around chaotically? How can you make an actual electric current when the electrons are being pulled in every direction at once? submitted by /u/Depensity [link] [comments]

Why is the earths magnetic field the way it is? Posted: 22 May 2020 01:23 PM PDT While watching a documentation on planets I was wondering why the magnetic fields always seemed to "emit their magnetism" (please excuse my lack of technical terms) on the north or South Pole. Visualizations of the magnetic fields always show the currents making their way from the poles. Since planets are (almost) a sphere I wondered why poles couldn't just be somewhere else. I figured it has something to do with the tilt and rotation, or the not perfect sphere. However, I am not invested enough to figure it out myself so here I am. I hope my amateurish explanation and question is understandable! Thanks for your answers in advance. submitted by /u/amstewei11 [link] [comments]

How does loss of oxygen in oceans lead to ocean acidification? Posted: 22 May 2020 10:48 PM PDT The role of CO2 in ocean acidification is well established. It intuitively makes sense too. The more CO2 is absorbed, the more carbonic acid will form in the oceans. But how does loss of oxygen also lead to acidification? Source claiming that to be the case. submitted by /u/chaos1618 [link] [comments]

What exactly would earthquakes of magnitudes 10, 10.5 or 11 do to the planet? Posted: 22 May 2020 03:44 PM PDT Are earthquakes of these magnitudes possible?

How is negative Kelvin achieved? Posted: 22 May 2020 11:05 AM PDT I recently learned about negative kelvin, but cannot understand why it is considered a negative temperature. Here is where my understanding is at: 1. I understand that atoms are brought to near 0K, meaning they have near zero kinetic energy. 2. I understand that these atoms need to have an upper energy limit so that they can be in a state of maximum potential energy during this process. 3. Temperature is not just the kinetic energy of particles, but includes interaction and potential energy as well. Where my understanding breaks down is how inverting the kinetic and potential energies creates a negative Kelvin temperature. Why does taking an atom to it's upper energy limit create a negative temperature? I read this article on it: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/01/130104143516.htm but I still do not understand it, and the hill/ball analogy did not help. Edit: After further reading on the subject through this subreddit I have a basic understanding of Thermodynamic Beta and why negative Kelvin is considered negative, but I am still confused about the need for the energy limit, and inversion of potential and kinetic energies. submitted by /u/ProSwitz [link] [comments]

Can you still differentiate aromatic rings and normal pi bonding in zero-field nmr? Posted: 22 May 2020 05:36 PM PDT If the anisotropic effects of these bonds/rings is what causes the greater than usual chemical shifts would you still be able to see these shifts in a zero field experiment? submitted by /u/alexmurillo242 [link] [comments]

Why has Coronavirus spread around the world from region to region in hotspots? Posted: 22 May 2020 08:48 PM PDT Infections were obviously greater in China and Asia generally initially, then Europe And the Middle East, then North America. Now it appear that South America and Africa is where the virus is spreading most? Is it simply a question of where most travelers to those regions come from (i.e Africa and South America are a few steps removed from direct travel from Asia) or is something more going on? submitted by /u/JeSuisForeign [link] [comments]

How old is the inner core of the Earth? Posted: 22 May 2020 06:41 AM PDT I am trying to find out when the inner core was formed but every source I look at ranges too much from 50 million years after the earth formed to even 500 million years ago which over a 4.5 billion span is a lot. I understand it formed from the heavy iron and nickel materials sinking to the centre and solidifying from the pressure, but I am trying to understand the history of the earth and would like it if someone could clear up the age of the inner core for me. :) submitted by /u/EightFoldKura [link] [comments]

What is the starchy part of a potato actually used for and is it alive? Posted: 21 May 2020 02:14 PM PDT The key question I have is, specifically, whether the starchy interior (the vaguely white/manilla colored bit) is full of living cells performing a function or if it's just a collection of sustenance used by the actually living parts of the plant. In either case, how does a potato actually make use of the starchy substance? submitted by /u/Reyshen [link] [comments]

Why is Austenitic Steel (FCC) Non-Ferromagnetic? Posted: 22 May 2020 04:25 AM PDT I know carbon steel has a Curie point near the austenitic transformation temperature, so I always thought that high temperature steel lost its ferromagnetism because the thermal energy kept re-orienting Weiss domains so they can't properly align. The blacksmith trick of using a magnet to tell if steel is austenitic is just a guess, because carbon steel actually reaches its Curie temperature a bit before the austentic transformation temperature. I didn't realize until recently that room temperature austenitic steel (stainless steel) is also not ferromagnetic. My first thought was that this was somehow due to crystal structure (some symmetry operation in FCC that forbids ferromagnetism?) but that doesn't work because there are other examples of FCC metals that exhibit ferromagnetism, like Ni or Co alloys. My next thought was that Weiss domains in FCC might get thermally misaligned more easily, so perhaps the Curie temperature would be decreased in FCC metals, and Ni could stay ferromagnetic because it had a Curie temperature above 300K. However, Ni has a smaller magnetic moment per atom and a lower melting temperature (than iron or stainless steel), so assuming Curie temperatures occur at roughly the same homologous temperature, Ni should have a lower Curie temperature (it does have a lower Curie temperature than BCC iron). That leaves me with no explanation for why steel loses its ferromagnetism upon becoming FCC. Does anyone have any ideas? submitted by /u/FerrousLupus [link] [comments]

Are stars stars? Or are they galaxies in the nightsky? Posted: 22 May 2020 03:52 AM PDT I want to know what we see when we 'look out at the stars'.

What mammal is least related to all other mammals?

Can awake, spontaneously breathing patients on ECMO hold their breath indefinitely? Posted: 21 May 2020 10:50 PM PDT So my 34 year old sister recently suffered a dissected aorta. After a successful surgery and failed mechanical ventilation, it appears she has probably slipped into ARDS and is now requiring ECMO. I'm a CCU nurse but I've never done open heart, mostly Neuro and trauma. I've never even seen ECMO, as only a few hospitals in my state have that capability. But I'm familiar enough to know a bit about how it works, but I can't stop thinking about this question. Since a machine is removing the blood and filtering CO2 and adding oxygen, then pumping it back in, could an awake, spontaneously breathing patient simply hold their breath indefinitely? I meant to ask the doctor today over the phone, but it slipped my mind. submitted by /u/joneildu [link] [comments]

What does the math look like when calculating how much force it takes to crush a full soup can with a force coaxial with the can?

Is the likelihood of going bankrupt higher for people who have filed for it before? Posted: 22 May 2020 03:53 AM PDT If you file for bankruptcy once your chances of getting decent credit are screwed for years, even decades, because creditors treat you like a much much higher risk. I was wondering if there are any actual scientific studies proving that people who went bankrupt once are significantly more likely to go bankrupt again. Looked it up an couldn't find anything. I guess the methodology would be problematic because you need a sample of people who went bankrupt but had it erased from their history, to compare the outcomes reliabely. And keeping track of them for a long time. But anyways... Anyone aware of such data existing? submitted by /u/ItsaMeRobert [link] [comments]

Why do metal ions like calcium get released from calcium oxalate when boiled? Posted: 21 May 2020 11:23 PM PDT I'm writing an investigation on how boiling vegetables affect the calcium loss. I came across a few articles that says calcium exists as calcium oxalate, and when it's boiled the bonds between calcium oxalate breaks and the calcium ions are leached into the water. I'm struggling to find any information on the mechanism behind this as in how this actually works. Can someone direct me to any sources or explanations on this process? submitted by /u/JeffreyChanHK [link] [comments]

Is it more difficult for a virus to mutate if the host is healthy? Posted: 21 May 2020 07:31 PM PDT Friends and I got into an argument about this. My take is that the virus will simply mutate without regard to the immune system of the host. Their argument is that if the virus infects healthy people without infecting those who are immunocompromised or overall unhealthy, the virus becomes weaker and weaker. Can someone clear this up? It's difficult to find an answer. submitted by /u/crescent-stars [link] [comments]

What happen under the carbonate compensation depth? Posted: 22 May 2020 03:00 AM PDT Hello! I'm currently learning again my geology lesson, and I'm on the ccd right now. But I'm wondering, when the lithospheric plate goes under the ccd, does the carbonate sediments put in place before starts to disapper, or do they stays? It's not clear in my lesson... Thank you for your help! And sorry for the mistakes, I understand English better than I write it... submitted by /u/Pizel_the_Twizel [link] [comments]

How can a phone's camera adapt to the difference of refraction in the glasses lenses? (Picture included) Posted: 22 May 2020 02:52 AM PDT https://imgur.com/ULiXJG1 How is it possible that the image seen through the camera is clear, even though the glasses have minus five (-5) diopters? Also, the image around the lens is how a person with -5 actually sees. How can the phone do that? submitted by /u/BobbyBuci [link] [comments]

Can you help me understand Laplace transform and the frequency interpretation of a signal? Posted: 21 May 2020 02:28 PM PDT I have studied all the facts regarding the subject (really cool part of maths) but I cant visualize the practical meaning of this. For what I see, when you decompose a signal in an infinite sum of sines and cosines (even dilated or shrinked) you are giving each frequency a "weight" or a "share" on the total signal. What does it mean to filter a signal? Will it remove the "low" sinuisoids and cosinusoids? submitted by /u/sgozzacaprette [link] [comments]

Is there a way to separate DNA and amino acid molecules by charge? Posted: 21 May 2020 06:04 PM PDT For example, is there a gel electrophoresis method for molecule charge instead of molecule size? Is there a neutral gel buffer that doesn't ionize molecules? submitted by /u/poopypantpie [link] [comments]
