It works similarly to a debit card, requiring payment before traveling, and the balance is deducted when traveling by bus or metro, depending on the fare segment and mode of transportation used. Part of the technology'scompatibility with the Santiago Metro is due to the fact that it coexisted with the Multivía card until August 2011. History bus (2007). On 9 February 2007, hours before the implementation of Transantiago, Transport Minister Sergio Espejo announced the system would be free for the first three days, between 10 and 12 February. He stated primarily that this would allow users to familiarize themselves with the routes throughout the capital, postponing the start of fare collection until 13 February. However, early that day, Ministry of Transport inspectors detected an average 15% failure rate in the bus validators, prompting the AFT to make the system free until Friday for trunk buses and Sunday for feeder buses. The delay caused by the change in date resulted in a multi-million-dollar fine for AFT companies, close to 300 million Chilean peso According to a December 2007 survey conducted by the Central University of Chile, Transantiago users expressed great satisfaction with the payment method implemented in Santiago.

A 1.58-bit Large Language Model (1.58-bit LLM, also ternary LLM) is a version of a Transformer (deep learning architecture) The name comes from a fact that a single Ternary numeral system BitNet In 2024, Ma et al., researchers at Microsoft, declared that their 1.58-bit model, BitNet b1.58 is comparable in performance to the 16-bit Llama 2 and opens the era of 1-bit LLM. BitNet creators did not use the post-training quantization of weights but instead relied on the new BitLinear transform that replaced the nn.Linear layer of the traditional transformer design. In 2025, Microsoft researchers had released an open-weights and open inference code model BitNet b1.58 2B4T demonstrating performance competitive to the full precision models at 2B parameters and 4T training tokens. Critique Some researchers point out that the scaling laws of large language models favor the low-bit weights only in case of undertrained models. As the number of training tokens increases, the deficiencies of low-bit quantization surface. References Sources * * * * * * * * * Category:Large language models

of an overweight woman depicted in a 1942 advertisement for a dietary supplement Fat talk is a type of communication that discusses an individuals' physical appearance, focused on the influence of the excess body fat on weight, shape, style, or fitness of the human body. Researchers have found that fat talk is associated with negative body image, low self-esteem, and Eating disorder The term was coined in 1994 by Nichter and Vuckovic and has become a relevant topic in discussions on body shaming, body image, gender, feminist theory, and social and cultural Stereotype History The term fat talk was originally coined by anthropologists Mimi Nichter and Nancy Vuckovic in 1994 from their ethnographic research on middle school girls and their mothers. They found evidence of a ritualized discourse between mothers and their daughters surrounding body image and reports of the daughters feeling pressure to engage in this dialogue with their friends. Fat talk was defined as a method of communication centered on this topic, often involving negative remarks about body weight, fat, fitness, and shape. Nichter and Vuckovic speculated that fat talk has several adaptive functions for girls and women which perpetuates the behavior. These include eliciting reassurance from others, masking other negative emotions that cannot be expressed out right, absolving oneself of guilt for eating something “fattening,” creating an ingroup subculture, and managing a social impression. Women and men in the United States of America experience more pressure to engage in fat talk than women and men in the United Kingdom. Familial context also contributes to this culture with the generational transmission of fat talk behaviors. Fat talk provides short-term rewards such as maintaining sociability and eliciting reassurance from others. Much of the research on fat talk in the 21st century has documented long-term negative consequences for this behavior. For example, fat talk contributes to body image dissatisfaction, Depression (mood) Just as Nichter and Vuckovic witnessed in their formative

others. Much of the research on fat talk in the 21st century has documented long-term negative consequences for this behavior. For example, fat talk contributes to body image dissatisfaction, Depression (mood) Just as Nichter and Vuckovic witnessed in their formative research on the topic, girls and women engage in fat talk more frequently than boys and men. Consequently, 81% of women have reported participating in fat talk, and 33% of those women reported participating frequently. but their conversations tend to focus more on muscle tone and strength, as well as body fat. Characteristics One of the most common forms of fat talk includes negative self-talk, where individuals express Self-deprecation Another prevalent form of fat talk is social comparison, where individuals compare their bodies to others. Examples include, “If you’re fat, then I'mhumongous”, “At least you can wear a regular bathing suit to the pool”, or, “No you’re not, I’m the one who is fat”, creating a hierarchy based on body weight or shape. Fat talk frequently centers around weight loss and dieting. In this form, individuals engage in conversations that focus on dieting, exercise, the desire to lose weight, or the desire to be thin. Examples include, “I really need to start working out again”, “I should not be eating fattening foods”, or “I’m not in shape”. Correlates of fat talk Psychological correlates Fat talk is a significant predictor of body dissatisfaction, Depression (mood) Women with diagnosed eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder engage in fat talk more than women without diagnosed Eating disorder Social correlates Individuals reciprocate fat talk in order to maintain sociability. An example of this would be a friend who says “I feel so fat today, look at how my belly is sticking out.” The friend who is hearing this then feels compelled to tell her, “You are not fat and your belly is

In mathematics, an action groupoid or a transformation groupoid is a groupoid that expresses a group action. Namely, given a (right) group action :X G X, we get the groupoid G ( a category whose morphisms are all invertible) where *objects are elements of X, *morphisms from x to y are the actions of elements g in G such that y xg, *compositions for x g y and y h z is x hg z. A groupoid is often depicted using two arrows. Here the above can be written as: :X G \,st\, X where s, tdenote the source and the target of a morphism in G; thus, s(x, g) x is the projection and t(x, g) xg is the given group action (here the set of morphisms in G is identified with X G). In an ∞-category Let C be an ∞-category and G a groupoid object in it. Then a group action or an action groupoid on an object X in C is the simplicial diagram : \, \, X G G \, \, X G \, \, X that satisfies the axioms similar to an action groupoid in the usual case.

Rowan Tilly is a British peace activist, a climate change activist, and an active opponent of genetically modified crops (GMOs). She has been arrested on many occasions. An advocate of nonviolent direct action and de-escalation, she has produced training videos and books on these topics. Peace activism Tilly, a furniture maker who attended the University of Huddersfield, first read about the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp in the magazine Peace News. She decided to join the Embrace The Base action in December 1982 when more than 30,000 women joined hands around the perimeter fence of the RAF Greenham Common base, near Newbury, Berkshire. Before that she hadn'tbeen involved in the peace movement but has said that she had been having nightmares about nuclear war. She stayed at the Greenham camp for six months in 1983. She has noted that while Greenham had a big impact on her political awareness, the activities there were loose and anarchic and not directly related to her subsequent activism, which was well planned. On 6 July 1993 she was one of 15 women from the Women's Nuclear Test Ban Network and two men to break into Buckingham Palace Garden in protest against the testing of UK nuclear weapons on the lands of the Western Shoshone people in the US. A banner was also unfurled outside the palace grounds. The police said the action, which caused a huge security alert, was "very meticulously planned and expertly executed". The protestors said that they wanted to draw the attention of Queen Elizabeth II to the 23 nuclear tests that Britain had conducted in the Nevada desert. The press reported that many of the women had been at the Greenham Common camp, which did not close until 2000. Seeds of Hope On 29 January 1996, Andrea Needham, Joanna Wilson, and Lotta Kronlid broke into BAE Systems GMOs Tilly was an early member of "genetiX snowball", a campaign of nonviolent civil responsibility

camp, which did not close until 2000. Seeds of Hope On 29 January 1996, Andrea Needham, Joanna Wilson, and Lotta Kronlid broke into BAE Systems GMOs Tilly was an early member of "genetiX snowball", a campaign of nonviolent civil responsibility aiming to build resistance to GMOs, which it described as "unwanted, unnecessary, unsafe and irreversible". The name and approach drew its inspiration from the Snowball nonviolence campaign, founded by Angie Zelter, which resisted the presence of US military nuclear arms bases in Britain in the 1980s by asking as many people as possible to cut pieces of the fences of weapons establishments and then wait to be arrested; the Swords to ploughshares tradition, which uses simple hand tools to nonviolently disarm weapons; and from other actions to protect the environment in Britain and throughout the world which had used nonviolent methods. The genetiX campaign produced a guidebook entitled A Guide to Safely Removing Genetically Modified Plants from Release Sites. Their first raid was at model farm near Oxford sponsored by Monsanto, and this was followed by the 'decontamination' of supermarkets by replacing GM foods with organic ones. Tilly and others were taken to court by Monsanto, with the case ending up in the House of Lords. The company stated that it had been granted a licence by the government to carry out research into genetically modified crops. The group had a genuine belief that the use of these crops posed a risk to public safety and uprooted the crops planted with the hope of gaining publicity. Monsanto sought an injunction preventing the defendants' trespass. Tilly and her co-defendants contended that their actions were necessary for the protection of the public. The court concluded that Tilly could not claim the defence of necessity as there was no serious and immediate danger. Moreover only a part of the crop had been uprooted with the court concluding that if there had been a genuine belief

concluded that Tilly could not claim the defence of necessity as there was no serious and immediate danger. Moreover only a part of the crop had been uprooted with the court concluding that if there had been a genuine belief in serious and immediate danger Tilly and others would have uprooted the entire crop. Thus the court concluded that the action was done for publicity purposes, rather than for the protection of the public. Despite this verdict, Tilly continued her action against GMO crops. In June 2000 she was fined £250 after she and a group of others dug up GM rapeseed at a farm in Hertfordshire and deposited the plants at the headquarters of Plant Genetic Systems Climate protests Tilly has carried out protests relating to climate change with several different groups, including Extinction Rebellion; Insulate Britain protests After a preview screening in London on 17 April 2023 of the film ''How to Blow Up a Pipeline (film) References External links *Nonviolence & De-escalation Training *[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v 3TC_1ecg3SE Nonviolence & De-escalation Training *[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v 8K_m40F02pU De-escalation Training Workshop *[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v MYs-J0mFV0E This is How Nonviolence Works: Freedom Riders and Insulate Britain with Rowan Tilly and Roger Hallam Category:Living people Category:British women activists Category:British anti-nuclear activists Category:British climate activists

Gary Felsenfeld (November 18, 1929 – May 1, 2024) was an American molecular biologist and biochemist known for his pioneering work in chromatin biology and gene regulation. Over a career spanning more than six decades at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), he made seminal contributions to the understanding of chromatin structure and the epigenetic mechanisms controlling gene expression. Early life and education Felsenfeld was born in New York City and developed an early interest in science, inspired by a fluoroscope demonstration during a childhood visit to an allergist. He attended Stuyvesant High School, graduating as valedictorian in 1947. That same year, he was a top-10 finalist in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search for a project on daylight-compatible X-ray film, which earned him a trip to Washington, D.C., and a visit to the NIH. He earned his A.B. in chemistry from Harvard University in 1951, conducting undergraduate research under John Edsall. He then pursued doctoral studies at the California Institute of Technology under Linus Pauling, receiving his Ph.D. in chemistry in 1955. Following a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Oxford with Charles Coulson, Felsenfeld returned to the U.S. Career In 1956, Felsenfeld joined the Public Health Service and began work at the National Institute of Mental Health, where he studied polynucleotides and contributed to the discovery of the first three-stranded nucleic acid molecule. From 1958 to 1961, he served as an assistant professor of biophysics at the University of Pittsburgh. In 1961, he became a founding member of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) within the NIH. He was appointed Chief of the Section on Physical Chemistry and later served as Chief of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology. Felsenfeld remained at the NIH for the rest of his career, becoming an NIH Distinguished Investigator and Scientist Emeritus. He was known for his hands-on approach to

Physical Chemistry and later served as Chief of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology. Felsenfeld remained at the NIH for the rest of his career, becoming an NIH Distinguished Investigator and Scientist Emeritus. He was known for his hands-on approach to research and mentorship, often working at the lab bench alongside his trainees. Research contributions Felsenfeld'sresearch significantly advanced the understanding of chromatin structure and gene regulation: * Triple-stranded nucleic acids: In collaboration with David Davies and Alexander Rich, he demonstrated the existence of triple-stranded RNA structures, expanding the understanding of nucleic acid configurations. * Chromatin structure: He was among the first to investigate DNA folding and chromatin organization, using micrococcal nuclease as a probe to study nucleosome positioning and histone-DNA interactions. * Gene regulation: Felsenfeld'swork on the β-globin gene cluster led to the identification of regulatory elements known as "insulators," which block interactions between enhancers and promoters. He discovered that the protein CTCF functions as a major genomic boundary element, playing a crucial role in the three-dimensional organization of the genome and regulation of gene expression. * Epigenetics: His studies on chromatin boundaries and long-range genomic interactions contributed to the foundation of the field of epigenetics, influencing research on cellular differentiation and development. * Merck Award (1987): Presented by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for his achievements in biochemistry. * Presidential Rank Award (1988): Conferred by the U.S. government for sustained extraordinary accomplishments in the federal service. He was elected to several organizations, including: * National Academy of Sciences (1976) * American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1981) * Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1980) Personal life Felsenfeld was married to Naomi for nearly 68 years and had three children and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was known for his passion for science, music, literature, and art. He passed away on May 1, 2024, at the age of 94. References

Boltzmann Fair Division is a probabilistic model of resource allocation inspired by the Boltzmann distribution in statistical mechanics. This model introduces a concept called distribution potential, which integrates human factors such as contribution, need, and preference. Based on this potential, resources are allocated spontaneously and probabilistically, without negotiation or strategic behavior. It has been proposed as an alternative framework for analyzing real-world distribution problems including income redistribution, emissions trading, and public policy design. Background Traditional theories of distributive justice such as egalitarianism, meritocracy, needs-based allocation, Rawlsian justice, and Nozick’sentitlement theory each rely on distinct normative principles. However, these principles often conflict or are impractical to apply simultaneously. Boltzmann Fair Division has been proposed as a mathematical model that can represent a variety of distributive logics using a single adjustable parameter, β. * Income redistribution: Applied to countries including the U.S., China, Finland, and South Africa, the model helped define a feasible equality line. * Public policy: Considered applicable to vaccine distribution, budget allocation, and other resource distribution policies. * Game-theory alternative: Offers a non-strategic allocation mechanism that does not rely on behavioral assumptions. Thought Experiment: Dividing Cake on Mars A thought experiment featured in the LSE blog imagines a scenario in which five Mars explorers with different levels of contribution, need, and preference must share a limited cake. Unlike traditional methods that rely on equality or negotiation, the Boltzmann model proposes a spontaneous, unbiased distribution governed by the exponential probability function. This metaphor is used to illustrate how a physically inspired allocation model might apply to both future and present resource challenges.

ongoing The 2023–2025 global coral bleaching event is an ongoing environmental disaster that represents the most extensive coral bleaching incident in recorded history, affecting approximately 84% of the Earth's Coral reef The ongoing event, which began in February 2023, has been primarily attributed to escalating ocean temperatures associated with Climate change Background Coral bleaching occurs when environmental stressors, particularly elevated Ocean temperature Event In April 2024, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) confirmed that an ongoing fourth global coral bleaching event was ongoing, and was called the second such event in the past ten years. Coral mortalities reached up to 93% in areas like the Pacific coast near Mexico. Regions such as Florida experienced complete die-offs in some reefs, where water temperatures rose to . The Great Barrier Reef began to undergo its fifth extensive bleaching event since 2016. video in 2024 documenting the coral bleaching event In April 2024, a State of the Oceans report by Statista reported that 54% of coral reefs suffered from heat stress caused by the bleaching event. In April 2025, the International Coral Reef Initiative announced that 84% of ocean reefs were impacted by rising ocean temperatures, compared to approximately 67% during the 2014-2017 event. Scientists from the International Coral Reef Society expressed concern that ocean temperatures may not drop below bleaching thresholds in the foreseeable future, potentially maintaining a continuous state of bleaching stress on Marine ecosystem The NOAA reported that the anomalous ocean temperatures caused "multi-species or near complete mortality" in the most impacted coral reef ecosystems. Healthy Reefs for Healthy People marine researcher Melanie McField stated that the prolonged and more intense Marine heatwave Over 50 to 93% of coral reefs around Huatulco National Park Several marine-dependent services, including the farming of seafood, tourism-centered economies, were reported to be impacted as a result.

50 to 93% of coral reefs around Huatulco National Park Several marine-dependent services, including the farming of seafood, tourism-centered economies, were reported to be impacted as a result. Marine researchers also predicted that the bleaching and subsequent death of coral reef ecosystems would lead to greater coastal erosion and vulnerability to storms. Responses The severity of the 2023-2025 bleaching event prompted the NOAA's Coral Reef Watch program to expand its bleaching alert scale with three additional categories to accurately represent the unprecedented risk of coral mortality. This adjustment became necessary as traditional measurement methods proved inadequate for capturing the extreme conditions observed during this event.

Barbara Rokowska (1926–2012) was a Polish mathematician known for her work on Steiner system Rokowska received an undergraduate degree in Polish from the University of Wrocław in 1951. She later began a second degree program at the University of Wrocław in mathematics. While pursuing her studies, she worked as a technical editor for mathematics journals including Colloquium Mathematicum. That journal received a submission from Erdős involving an estimate of a certain integral depending on kparameters. Though interesting, the submission was hastily written and incomplete. Rokowska'smaster'sthesis filled in the details of Erdős' work. One of her first papers, written in collaboration with Andrzej Schinzel, treated a number theory problem also posed by Erdős. Rokowska received her PhD, on Steiner systems, in 1966. Her doctoral advisor was Czesław Ryll-Nardzewski. She had 5 PhD students of her own.

In mathematics, especially algebraic topology, a weak equivalence between simplicial sets is a map between simplicial sets that is invertible in some weak sense. Formally, it is a weak equivalence in some model structure on the category of simplicial sets (so the meaning depends on a choice of a model structure.) An ∞-category can be (and is usually today) defined as a simplicial set satisfying the weak Kan condition. Thus, the notion is especially relevant to higher category theory. Equivalent conditions Let f : X Y be a map between simplicial sets. Then the following are equivalent: * f is a weak equivalence in the sense of Joyal (Joyal model category structure). * f^* : ho (Y, V) ho (X, V) is an equivalence of categories for each ∞-category V, where ho means the homotopy category of an ∞-category, * f^* : (Y, V)^ (X, V)^ is a weak homotopy equivalence for each ∞-category V, where the superscript means the core of a category If X, Y are ∞-categories, then a weak equivalence between them in the sense of Joyal is exactly an equivalence of ∞-categories (a map that is invertible in the homotopy category). Let f : X Y be a functor between ∞-categories. Then we say *f is fully faithful if f : Map(a, b) Map(f(a), f(b)) is an equivalence of ∞-groupoids for each pair of objects a, b. *f is essentially surjective if for each object y in Y, there exists some object a such that y f(a). Then f is an equivalence if and only if it is fully faithful and essentially surjective. References * * Category:Algebraic topology Category:Simplicial sets Category:Higher category theory

The Ipanema National Forest ( or ) is a Brazilian conservation unit managed by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio). It is located in the interior of the state of São Paulo (state) The mission of the Ipanema National Forest is to protect, conserve, and restore the remnants of native vegetation within the Atlantic Forest biome, especially the Araçoiaba Hill and its associated environments, along with their natural, historical, and cultural attributes. It also aims to promote forest management, public use, and to serve as a reference in socio-environmental integration, research, and the dissemination of knowledge. History The Ipanema National Forest was established by Presidential Decree No. 530, issued on May 20, 1992. When it was created, it was managed by the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama). It is currently administered by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio). The FLONA holds testimonies of history, with archaeological sites that predate the arrival of the colonizers. These sites are protected by the dense forest of Araçoiaba Hill, a geological formation of volcanic origin, rich in mineral diversity, with magnetite being the predominant ore. Magnetite was used for iron production at the Royal Ironworks of St John, Ipanema The enterprise was founded by King Dom João VI in 1810, but iron extraction in the area had already been known since the 16th century, when the expedition of Afonso Sardinha and his son led to the construction of two forges in 1589. These forges are recognized by the World Steel Association as the first attempt at iron manufacturing on American soil. Characteristics With approximately 5,069 hectares of area, its vegetation is characterized as a transition between Semideciduous In addition to its natural heritage, it is home to structures and remnants of the Royal Ironworks of St John, Ipanema. The FLONA also hosts Acadebio (the National Biodiversity Academy) of ICMBio. See also *

Lynette Edwell (born 1940) was a member of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, which was a protest, between 1981 and 2000, against US nuclear-armed cruise missiles being sited in the UK. Living close to the RAF Greenham Common base near Newbury, Berkshire, she supported other protestors with accommodation, baths, food, and access to office facilities. She played an important role in monitoring the movement of the missiles around the countryside. Early life Edwell was born in Kolkata Edwell took on the responsibility of monitoring the court cases that the women faced. Most of the women decided not to pay fines but to accept prison terms instead. She went to court to support those who had been charged. The numerous hearings clogged up the legal system in Newbury and many were moved to other locations further away. She helped some of the women prepare their defences. Archive Edwell kept a large number of records entrusted to her, which are now held at the Royal Berkshire Archives. The archive, in her name, includes records relating to her activities at the peace camp but also letters, newsletters, and posters from across the world that were sent to Greenham Common by supporters, reflecting the international impact of the camp. These include documents from the anti-nuclear campaigns in the Pacific; from Nicaragua where there were demands for the removal of American troops and nuclear weapons from South America; and from similar camps in Italy, France, Belgium, and Denmark.

In Polish cuisine, ', usually plural (e.g., in sales), ' is a very small pickled herring (marinated or salted after entrails and head removed). Historically, "moskalik" was associated with poor man'sfood. Moskaliki are very young and small fishes of size up to 5 inches, which are used in culinary as wholes, only with entrails and head removed. Because of this, a small time is required for marinating. The bones soften enough, eliminating the danger of choking, making moskaliki a convenient party snack. They have less of the taste of a sea fish. Due to their young age, they accumulate less mercury (element) See also *Baltic herring *Boquerones en vinagre *Sprat References Category:Herring dishes Category:Pickles Category:Polish cuisine Category:Salted foods Category:Commercial fish

Italian brainrot is a series of surrealist internet memes that emerged in early 2025, characterized by absurd photos of Generative artificial intelligence Description Italian brainrot is characterized by absurd images or videos created by generative artificial intelligence. It typically features hybrids of animals with everyday objects, food, and weapons. They are given Italianized names or use stereotypical cultural markers and are accompanied by AI-generated audio of an Italian man'snarration, which is often nonsensical. These characters combine elements of surrealism, visual anxiety (uncanny valley) and internet irony, reflecting the Post-irony In May 2025, Indonesian production house suggested they would be making a film based on the character of Tung Tung Tung Sahur. Characters with the head of a crocodile Italian brainrot features various AI-generated characters. The first viral character of the genre was Tralalero Tralala, a three-legged shark in Nike Inc. Ballerina Cappuccina is a ballerina with a cappuccino mug as a head who wears a Tutu (clothing) Controversy The characters of Tralalero Tralala and Bombardino Crocodilo have been accused of being Islamophobic, as lyrics of the Tralalero Tralala video mock Allah in Italian," (Tralalero Tralala, damn god and damn Allah). although some Italian users have pointed out it is generic blasphemy. In particular, other brainrot audio memes contain bestemmia, blasphemy against "God" (i.e., the Christian God) in general, including the "Hotspot Bro" audio, which features blasphemy in Italian. Notably, this audio was also used by the TikTok account of the Democratic Party (United States) The character Bombardino Crocodilo has been criticized for making light of the Gaza genocide, since some videos use audio which describes the plane bombing children in Gaza and the rest of Palestine.

in the Mariposa Grove, blown down by Mono winds in January 2021 Mono winds are strong, dry downslope winds that occur along the western slopes of the central Sierra Nevada in California. They are a type of foehn wind that typically blow from the northeast, descending the Sierra into the foothills. Wind speeds in Mono wind events regularly exceed 50mph (80km/h), with gusts recorded over 100mph (160km/h). The name "Mono" derives from Mono Lake and the indigenous Mono people. Mono winds are part of the broader family of California'soffshore wind systems, like the Santa Ana winds in Southern California and Diablo winds in the Bay Area. Meteorology and causes Mono winds form when high-pressure systems develop over the Great Basin following the passage of cold fronts. The cold, dense air flows westward, pushed by the pressure gradient, and descends the Sierra Nevada, accelerating as it moves downhill and warming Adiabatic process In some cases, strong upper-level winds in the jet stream enhance these effects, transporting momentum downward and increasing surface wind speeds. This type of Mono wind, often referred to as "Type II," can generate turbulent rotors and mountain waves, making the winds especially destructive and unpredictable. Geographic distribution Mono winds are most common in the central Sierra Nevada, especially in and around Yosemite National Park. They affect communities in Mariposa County, California Aviation hazards The terrain-induced turbulence from Mono winds can pose serious hazards to aviation. Mountain waves and rotor winds generated during these events are capable of producing severe turbulence and sudden wind shear, particularly dangerous to small aircraft and firefighting operations. * January 19, 2021: One of the most destructive Mono wind events in recent history impacted the central Sierra Nevada.

'''Fran De'Ath''', a Quakers Activism De'Ath, who had left school at a young age, At the time she was divorced and her children, who were five and 12, were living with their father. Before learning about Greenham Common camp, she had been planning on making a tipi and going to live in the wilds. She took the tipi to the camp, finishing it with the help of her boyfriend. She then set about inviting people in Newbury to tea in her tipi. A local shop gave her a dozen tea mugs for free. After explaining to the manager of another store what the purpose of the camp was, he gave her chains and bolt cutters to cut the perimiter fence of the base. De'Ath also travelled to the United Nations in Geneva to represent the camp, attended committee meetings in London with politician such as Tony Benn and Robin Cook, and gave talks around the country, including in Manchester Town Hall and at the Glastonbury Festival. In 1984 she visited Moscow and spent two hours with some top Soviet Union After a short time, she moved away from the camp at the main entrance to the base because, as she saw it, there were too many attempts by feminists to control activities. She lived alone in her tipi near the works entrance. One night she was woken by two youths on motor bikes going round and round her tent. She invited them into the tipi for tea: after that they would bring her food every week. She began to sit near the works entrance with a sign asking the workers if they would like to have a talk, dressed in a Barbour (company) Several photographers took her picture, including Edward Barber (photographer) References External links * Song about De'Ath by El Hall * Greenham Common peace camp: Remembering one of history'smost famous feminist protests 35 years on.

N1-Methylguanosine (also 1-Methylguanosine or m1G) is a modified nucleoside, derived from guanosine through the addition of a methyl group to the nitrogen atom at position 1 of the guanine base. This modification results in a fixed positive charge on the purine ring. It occurs in all transfer RNAs (tRNAs) that read Genetic code m1G can help prevent errors in protein synthesis, and lower levels can cause significant errors, reduction of protein output, and lower cell viability. Additionally, as a RNA component, it is excreted in urine and elevated levels may be usable as an indicator of certain cancers. Occurrence and function The most extensively studied function of m1G is in tRNA, where it is typically found at position 37 (m1G37), immediately 3' to the anticodon. This modification is critical for maintaining translational fidelity. The presence of m1G37, with its positive charge and steric bulk, helps prevent frameshift errors during Protein biosynthesis See also * Guanosine * 7-Methylguanosine (m7G) * RNA modification * Epitranscriptomics * Transfer RNA * Methyltransferase * Nucleoside References Category:Purines Category:Nucleosides Category:Molecular biology Category:RNA

Facial hair in ancient Egypt, especially beard History Facial hair had a varied history in ancient Egypt. During Pre-dynastic Egypt Symbolism (left) and goddess Bastet (right) at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston However, there remains a mystery surrounding facial hair that is clearly present in Ancient Egyptian art In death, kings were frequently depicted wearing the divine Osird beard, a long, narrow beard braided into several strands with the end sticking out, as seen on Mask of Tutankhamun Such beards in ancient Egyptian art, regardless of context, always seemed to represent divinity, although not all male gods wore these beards. Given the divine nature of beards, one of the questions that arises is why they fell out of popularity early in Egyptian history. Perhaps certain types of beards resembling those of the gods and the false beards of the living king were forbidden, or simply fell out of fashion due to religious reverence. However, it is more likely that the reason was the ancient Egyptian obsession with order, elegance, and cleanliness. Throughout much of ancient Egyptian history, it seems that the poorest of the poor continued to wear beards, and others likely wore them regularly. Therefore, there appear to have been legal restrictions on beards. Also of great interest, outside of religious contexts, is the fact that beards in Egyptian art often signified the foreign nature of the individual. Egyptians often depicted their enemies with beards. Given the Egyptian practice of capturing foreigners, this may explain some of the popularity of shaving, as well as why officials sometimes refrained from shaving when traveling abroad. To summarize, beards were a significant aspect of ancient Egyptian art, as they provide us with clues about the nature of the individual, whether royal or commoner, foreign or Egyptian, god or man, depending on the type of beard, whether the king was depicted alive or dead.

Ethel-Michele de Villiers (born 1947) is a South African virologist and researcher known for her work in the study of human papillomaviruses (HPV) and their role in cancer development. As a leader in virology research at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), de Villiers made significant contributions to understanding the molecular mechanisms behind HPV-related cancers, including cervical cancer. De Villiers was instrumental in identifying and characterizing numerous HPV types, significantly contributing to the body of knowledge that links HPV to cervical cancer. Her research has not only influenced the field of virology but also provided insights into other cancers and chronic diseases associated with viral infections. More recently, de Villiers has led studies into Bovine Meat and Milk Factors (BMMFs), a novel category of pathogens found in bovine products. Her work explores the potential links between these factors, long-term inflammation, and the development of cancer, opening new possibilities for disease prevention and treatment. Early life and education Ethel-Michele de Villiers was born in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1947. After she finished High School, she studied biology at the University of Pretoria. After obtaining her Doctor of Science in 1980, she spent some time at the University of Freiburg in Germany. She later returned to South Africa, where she worked at the Veterinary Institute Onderstepoort. Her early academic work laid the foundation for her future contributions to the field of virology, particularly in understanding the role of viruses in human diseases. In 1984, de Villiers began working at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), one of the leading institutions in the world for cancer research. Her move to Germany marked the start of her collaborative work with prominent scientists, including her husband and colleague Harald zur Hausen, with whom she co-led several important research projects.

her husband and colleague Harald zur Hausen, with whom she co-led several important research projects. During her time in Germany, she gained significant recognition for her work in virus-induced cancer and became an influential figure in identifying the connection between human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and cervical cancer. Her early experiences in South Africa and Germany were instrumental in shaping her scientific career and passion for virology. Contributions Ethel-Michele de Villiers is best known for her pioneering research in virology, particularly her work on human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and their connection to cervical cancer. She worked alongside her husband, Harald zur Hausen, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2008 for his groundbreaking discovery of the link between HPV and cervical cancer. Her work was crucial to the development of the HPV vaccine. De Villiers played a leading role in the identification and classification of numerous HPV types, contributing significantly to the scientific understanding of viral carcinogenesis. Her research showed how HPVs could cause cutaneous human malignancies, broadening the understanding of viral involvement in various forms of cancer. In addition to her HPV work, de Villiers' research also delved into emerging viruses. She co-led studies on Bovine Meat and Milk Factors (BMMFs), a newly identified category of pathogens linked to chronic diseases, including cancer. These BMMFs are believed to be associated with long-term inflammation, which can lead to cancer and other health issues. This work is ongoing, and her contributions to understanding these viruses are critical in the context of cancer prevention and chronic disease management. Awards and recognition In recognition of her contributions to human papillomavirus research, she served as the chair of the International HPV Reference Center at the German Cancer Research Center from 1984 to 2013. This role positioned her as a key figure in advancing global HPV research, leading to the eventual development of the HPV vaccine that has saved countless lives worldwide. De

De Villiers' collaboration with her husband, Harald zur Hausen, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2008, has been pivotal. While she was not individually awarded the Nobel Prize, her influence on the discovery of the link between HPV and cervical cancer was immense, as acknowledged by zur Hausen himself. In a 2011 tribute, he described her as having influenced and inspired his life "like no other person." Their collaboration was crucial in the establishment of HPV as a leading cause of cervical cancer. Her efforts in the research of Bovine Meat and Milk Factors (BMMFs) have also positioned her as a leading researcher in the investigation of viral carcinogenesis beyond HPV. These discoveries continue to impact the field of cancer prevention and chronic disease management.

The IMO Net-Zero Framework (NZF) is a United Nations system to price maritime shipping emissions. It is set to apply from 2028 to shipping in IMO member countries, applying a carbon price of 100 USD per tonne of Global warming potential Maritime shipping represents 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The Framework would apply to ships above 5,000 gross tonnage, which account for 85% of those emissions. System In the run-up to MEPC83, countries heavily debated what form the carbon pricing mechanism should takea simple levy was favoured by around 60 island nations. Meanwhile, 16 mainly bigger emerging market economies favoured a carbon trading system in which clean ship operators could sell their rights to pollute to emissions-heavier ones. Wind energy may also qualify a ship for rewards, but the NZF rules are yet to specify by how much. Use of funds Under the Framework, companies would pay for their emissions to a newly created IMO Net-Zero Fund. The money would be used to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on vulnerable countries, including Small Island Developing States External links * Draft text of the IMO Net-Zero Framework, in MARPOL Annex VI chapter 5, outlining the Net-Zero Framework See also * Initial IMO Strategy on the reduction of GHG emissions from ships References Category:Emissions trading Category:Emissions reduction Category:Maritime transport Category:International maritime relations Category:Climate change mitigation

Brendan P. Lucey (born 1977) is an American neurologist who is a current Professor of Neurology and Sleep Medicine Section Head at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, where he is also the director of Washington University’s Sleep Medicine Center. Lucey is also known for his research on sleep and its effect on Alzheimer'sdisease Early life and education Brendan Lucey was born and raised in Burlington, Vermont. Lucey went on to receive his bachelor’s (B.A.) degree from the University of Vermont in 1999, and received his M.D. at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 2003. Academic career After receiving his M.D., Lucey pursued his residency in Neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis from 2003-2007, and went on to complete his fellowship in Clinical neurophysiology/Electroencephalography at Harvard Medical School in 2008. Currently, Lucey is a board certified physician in Neurology, Sleep Medicine, and Clinical Neurophysiology, and serves as a Professor of Neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the chief of the WashU Medicine Section of Sleep Medicine. Lucey’swork demonstrated that when comparing seizure prone Hermetia illucens Epilepsy and sleep Lucey has also researched the intersections between epilepsy, treatment methods, monitoring technologies, and other neurological conditions. His research encompasses the relationship between epileptic associations and sleep stages, as well as additional explorations into how abnormal sleep and epileptiform discharges can impact cognitive function. His team has additionally explored how electrical status epilepticus during sleep (ESES) can occur in adults despite being usually observed in children. He has also researched differences in seizure activity between NREM and REM sleep, finding that NREM sleep is more susceptible to epileptiform discharges while REM sleep instead suppresses seizures. He has also been involved in research evaluating the efficiency of the use of a seven-electrode montage EEG for screening in emergency scenarios. Alzheimer's Disease and sleep In collaboration

to epileptiform discharges while REM sleep instead suppresses seizures. He has also been involved in research evaluating the efficiency of the use of a seven-electrode montage EEG for screening in emergency scenarios. Alzheimer's Disease and sleep In collaboration with the Washington University Knight Alzheimer Disease Research Center (ADRC), Lucey and colleagues investigate how sleep affects different markers of Alzheimer’sdisease such as cognitive performance and levels of amyloid-beta and Tau protein Notably, Lucey’sgroup has demonstrated that poor sleep hygiene and sleep loss are tied to an increase in amyloid-beta and tau accumulation in the brain. These proteins are detrimental for Alzheimer’spatients given that amyloid-beta forms plaques while tau forms tangles inside neurons both of these lead to cell death. Lucey and colleagues seek to further investigate medical applications of these findings through ongoing clinical trials on the insomnia medication Suvorexant, which has been found to be associated with a decrease in tau phosphorylation and amyloid-beta concentrations in the central nervous system in preliminary evaluations. Schizophrenia and sleep Lucey'swork in the area of sleep and schizophrenia centers on NPTX2, a protein that enhances inhibitory signaling through interneurons and that is responsible for resetting Synapse His group further demonstrated how NPTX2 levels decrease during sleep activity and conversely increase during wake. The back and forth of these protein expressions create a circadian rhythm responsible for homeostasis in both humans and mice. Such insights led to the hypothesis that NPTX2 protein is a biomarker for circadian rhythmicity and could have a potential role in psychiatric symptoms observed in patients with schizophrenia. 2016: K76 Paul B.
