When he does outreach events with his laboratory he encounters people who are keen to meet his research subjects: aquatic salamanders called axolotls. The amphibians’ fans tell Voss that they know the animals from the internet or from caricatures or stuffed animals exclaiming “‘They’re so adorable we love them’” said Voss a professor of neuroscience at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. “People are drawn to them.” https://kra30s.cc кракен даркнет Take one look at an axolotl and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. With their wide eyes upturned mouths and pastel pink coloring axolotls look cheerful and vaguely Muppet-like. They’ve skyrocketed in pop culture fame in part thanks to the addition of axolotls to the video game Minecraft in 2021. These unusual salamanders are now found everywhere from Girl Scout patches to hot water bottles. But there’s more to axolotls than meets the eye: Their story is one of scientific discovery exploitation of the natural world and the work to rebuild humans’ connection with nature. A scientific mystery Axolotl is a word from Nahuatl the Indigenous Mexican language spoken by the Aztecs and an estimated 1.5 million people today. The animals are named for the Aztec god Xolotl who was said to transform into a salamander. The original Nahuatl pronunciation is “AH-show-LOAT”; in English “ACK-suh-LAHT-uhl” is commonly used. Axolotls are members of a class of animals called amphibians which also includes frogs. Amphibians lay their jelly-like eggs in water and the eggs hatch into water-dwelling larval states. In frogs these larvae are called tadpoles. Most amphibians once they reach adulthood are able to move to land. Since they breathe in part by absorbing oxygen through their moist skin they tend to stay near water. Axolotls however never complete the metamorphosis to a land-dwelling adult form and spend their whole lives in the water. “They maintain their juvenile look throughout the course of their life” Voss said. “They’re teenagers at least in appearance until they die.”

    An astronaut’s awe-inspiring views from life in space смотреть порно жесток Longtime NASA astronaut Don Pettit who has ventured to space four times returned to Earth on Saturday night from the International Space Station. Pettit who turned 70 on Sunday landed at 9:20 p.m. ET in a Soyuz spacecraft with Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner near Zhezkazgan Kazakhstan after a seven-month stay aboard the orbiting laboratory. The scientist invented the first object patented in space — called the Capillary Beverage Space Cup or Zero-G cup which makes it easier to drink beverages in the absence of gravity and he is also a celebrated astrophotographer known for capturing unique views of the cosmos. “One of the things I like to do with my astrophotography is to have a composition and a perspective that’s different than an Earth-centric one typically showing an Earth horizon with the atmosphere on edge the limb and then some kind of astronomy astrophotography in relationship to that” Pettit said from the space station during an April 3 interview with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. “Earth is amazingly beautiful when your feet are firmly planted on the ground and it’s beautiful from space” Pettit said. “And it’s hard to say what is more beautiful. I think it’s because space is a unique opportunity we seek to focus on the beauty of being in orbit. If we had people living their whole life in orbit when they come down to Earth they would probably think that was the most beautiful perspective they’d ever seen.” Pettit takes his photos from the cupola on the space station a favorite of crew members due to its seven windows that overlook Earth. Here are some of his most unforgettable views of what it’s like to live in space that he captured over the past seven months.

    Broken spheres Dyson died in 2020 before any of his spheres could be found — although they are just one of a dozen ideas that bear his name. kra30 at “As a young scientist Dyson showed that three competing quantum theories were actually the same theory — he summarily ended the competition” said William Press the Leslie Surginer Professor of Computer Science and Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin. He was not involved in the study. “Later he applied his genius to areas of astronomy cosmology the extraterrestrial realm and also the very real problem of nuclear proliferation here on planet Earth. At the time of his death he was recognized as a provocative and creative thinker.” George Dyson also attested to his father’s fascination and comprehensive reach across disciplines. https://kra30att.cc kra31 at “Taking advantage of a short attention span and an aversion to bureaucracy he contributed to five fields of mathematics and eleven fields of physics as well as to theoretical biology engineering operations research literature and public affairs” the younger Dyson said. “Many of his ideas were controversial with one of his guiding principles being that ‘It is better to be wrong than to be vague.’” The approach of the researchers behind the new study could offer a more fruitful path in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence said Tomotsugu Goto an associate professor of astronomy at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. He also was not involved with the study. “However contamination by circumstellar debris disks which mimic Dyson Sphere infrared signatures remains a concern” he added in an email. “Authors argue that the debris disks around dwarf stars are rare but the 7 candidate authors selected out of 5 million sources are also rare. Despite this the seven candidates warrant further investigation with powerful telescopes for a more definitive evaluation.”

    ‘Dyson spheres’ were theorized as a way to detect alien life. Scientists say they’ve found potential evidence kraken зеркало What would be the ultimate solution to the energy problems of an advanced civilization? Renowned British American physicist Freeman Dyson theorized it would be a shell made up of mirrors or solar panels that completely surrounds a star — harnessing all the energy it produces. “One should expect that within a few thousand years of its entering the stage of industrial development any intelligent species should be found occupying an artificial biosphere which completely surrounds its parent star” wrote Dyson in a 1960 paper in which he first explained the concept https://kra30c.cc kraken darknet If it sounds like science fiction that’s because it is: Dyson took the idea from Olaf Stapledon’s 1937 novel “Star Maker” and he was always open about that. The late scientist was a professor emeritus at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton New Jersey. Still coming from a thinker who some in the scientific community say might have been worthy of a Nobel Prize early in his career the concept took hold and the hypothetical megastructures became known as Dyson spheres even though the physicist later clarified that they would actually consist of “a loose collection or swarm of objects traveling on independent orbits around the star.” In his paper Dyson also noted that Dyson spheres would give off waste heat detectable as infrared radiation and suggested that looking for that byproduct would be a viable method for searching for extraterrestrial life. However he added that infrared radiation by itself would not necessarily mean extraterrestrial intelligence and that one of the strongest reasons for searching for such sources was that new types of natural astronomical objects might be discovered. “Scientists at the time were largely receptive not to the likelihood that alien civilisations would be found to exist but that a search for waste heat would be a good place to look” said George Dyson a technology writer and author and the second of Dyson’s six children via email. “Science fiction from ‘Footfall’ to ‘Star Trek’ took the idea and ran with it while social critics adopted the Dyson sphere as a vehicle for questioning the wisdom of unlimited technological growth.”

    President Donald Trump speaks about the mid-air crash between American Airlines flight 5342 and a military helicopter in Washington. Roberto Schmidt/AFP/Getty Images New York CNN — black sprut President Donald Trump on Thursday blamed the Federal Aviation Administration’s “diversity push” in part for the plane collision that killed 67 people in Washington DC. But DEI backers including most top US companies believe a push for diversity has been good for their businesses. Trump did not cite any evidence for how efforts to hire more minorities people with disabilities and other groups less represented in American workforces led to the crash saying “it just could have been” and that he had “common sense.” But Trump criticized the FAA’s effort to recruit people with disabilities during Joe Biden’s administration even though the FAA’s Aviation Safety Workforce Plan for the 2020-2029 period issued under Trump’s first administration promoted and supported “the hiring of people with disabilities and targeted disabilities.” блэкспрут It’s not the first time opponents of diversity equity and inclusion initiatives or DEI have said they can kill people. “DEI means people DIE” Elon Musk said after the California wildfires criticizing the Los Angeles Fire Department and city and state officials for their efforts to advance diversity in their workforces. blacksprut https://https-blacksprut.ru

    Axolotl problems As Mexico City grew and became more industrialized the need for water brought pumps and pipes to the lake and eventually “it was like a bad smelly pond with rotten water” Zambrano said. “All of our aquatic animals suffer with bad water quality but amphibians suffer more because they have to breathe with the skin.” lucky jet игра To add to the axolotls’ problems invasive fish species such as carp and tilapia were introduced to the lake where they feed on axolotl eggs. And a 1985 earthquake in Mexico City displaced thousands of people who found new homes in the area around the lake further contributing to the destruction of the axolotls’ habitat. These combined threats have devastated axolotl populations. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature there are fewer than 100 adult axolotls left in the wild. The species is considered critically endangered. https://lucky-jetts.com лаки джет игра While the wild axolotls of Lake Xochimilco have dwindled to near-extinction countless axolotls have been bred for scientific laboratories and the pet trade. “The axolotl essentially helped establish the field of experimental zoology” Voss said. In 1864 a French army officer brought live axolotls back to Europe where scientists were surprised to learn that the seemingly juvenile aquatic salamanders were capable of reproduction. Since then scientists around the world have studied axolotls and their DNA to learn about the salamanders’ unusual metamorphosis or lack thereof as well as their ability to regrow injured body parts. In addition to their role in labs axolotls have become popular in the exotic pet trade though they are illegal to own in California Maine New Jersey and Washington DC. However the axolotls you might find at a pet shop are different from their wild relatives in Lake Xochimilco. Most wild axolotls are a dark grayish brown. The famous pink axolotls as well as other color variants such as white blue yellow and black are genetic anomalies that are rare in the wild but selectively bred for in the pet trade. What’s more “most of the animals in the pet trade have a very small genetic variance” Zambrano said. Pet axolotls tend to be inbred and lack the wide flow of different genes that makes up a healthy population in the wild. That means that the axolotl extinction crisis can’t simply be solved by dumping pet axolotls into Lake Xochimilco. Plus the pet axolotls likely wouldn’t fare well with the poor habitat conditions in the lake.
