Imho wetlands and beaver dams increase median water flow in the creeks. Without them you get a spikes of flash floods in extreme cases and a dry/just trickling stream for the dry periods. The other benefit of a higher water table and l

Lack of appropriate funding leads to cutting corners to the point that some results may not be worth the price of the paper to describe them. I had a passing experience with epigenetics. Even experiments with basically free of ethics issues

I belive you are mixing assembling the genome by combining sequences of individual, overlapping inserts of cosmids, fosmids, PACs and BACs (bacterial vectors with human DNA inserts of 40-150kbp) to whole genome shotgun. The inserts of the

Thank you for your kind words. Sorry for the Captain's Obvious a bit rude comment. It just happened that me and my partner were battling traffic using rickety road through the hills above the Barcelona to get on time for a chemotherapy

If you would have a family member having a scheduled chemotherapy treatment for that day the thrill would be gone. Not every day is great for the chill out.

Spain does have few (probably 4 according to ESP Wikipedia) pumped-storage hydroelectricity plants. Supposedly these are being used nowadays to store excess of energy produced by fotovoltaic plants. No idea how fast these can switch from st

Also missing in vast majority of the dams is a lower reservoir. Pumping up the water from a river/canal below the dam would result in a dry river bed just below the dam rather quickly *edit* spell

Small thing: keeping old books is a bit like a physical memory palace. Granted, it may be pointless/way to costly to cling to a collection of say outdated books read as an adolescent, but we tend to remember better if we can access at

Re science: yes and no. Meaning: the old way of compiling programs from sources on HPC systems while not dead is becoming rare. I can only speak about bioinformatics: the majority of programs one can get up and running in no time using eith

Well, call them lazy but once you have i.e. biocontainers in which individual bioinformatics programs are prepackaged, hardly any scientist in that field would be reinventing the wheel and often just waste te time trying to install all the

The whole idea of maintaining module systems in a perfect sync on several systems as compared to i.e. just rsync-ing SIFs sounds strange to me. Often HPC systems (or rather their admins) are fairly (and for a good reason) conservative, keep

Frankly I have a problem with one of your problem as described. Who on the planet Earth creates a container with GCC, may I guess, to compile programs? and then complains about make being located in another container. If you miss some util

I have gave up on E. once they supported GWB over Gore. I can barely understand over the top devotion to neoliberalism and deregulation. But the shortcomings of GWB were sticking out in the campaign, so closing the eyes and singing "la

You may check Europe. I can assure you that patients getting PD-1 inhibitors etc. while if I am not mistaken at least in part recruited for clinical trials pay zilch, nada for the drugs there are taking (in Spain).

Yep. And for the smashed to pulp extremities I would suggest a fast regrowth of an arm or a leg, preferably in a week or so. More seriously: cancer is no joke and so are the treatments.

If you like the general shape you may look into various Echium species. Echium wildpretii is just stunning.

I am not sure I want to have the same painting or a poster on the wall not even for the rest of my life but for 5-10 years. Apart from maybe a tattoo with one's blood group frankly I am puzzled by the idea of getting even the most arts

While it is an important finding blocking either EPO production in the cancer cells or it's receptor on tumor infiltration macrophages is not trivial. One can end up with a severe anemia.

Ignoring for the moment issues of syncing a database where the source DB may be running inserts/updates: if one dumps tables as separate CSV files/streams and using DuckDB converts them to individual parquet files the rsync should

Probably way more important than lowering the CO2 is getting rid of PM2.5/PM10. Rooftops nowadays are best used to mount solar panels. Some system growing circulating algae, be it on the roof or on the sun drenched walls while doable w

One does not even need to bury anything. For example miscanthus giganteus plantation will increase carbon storage in the soil by simply increasing the mass of rhisomes and excreting various organic compounds into the soil. Obviously this ha

Without rules, metadata, systems to organize files even the most valuable data can be stored as a steaming pile of poo. In my case I was diving into a compressed tar containing compressed tar-s, which again may have giant uncompressed data

Not in every climate. Also if one has a wood chips mulch on the surface in the garden would that not attract the termites anyway if they happen to be around? Not saying it is not a problem, just that "it depends". In this [Self Su

The not so thin red line separating scrapping bottom of the barrel vs faking there is something in an empty barrel. "Borrowing" data from a country next door looks like a fraud on steroids.
