I think it is one-directional. The dye remains fixed until the acid "finds it". The path is then reconstructed as the dye "backtracks" the ph gradient.

As someone who literally listened to the same tune on repeat for a month I don't see the problem. It was a repetitive, low-dynamic range tune by the way. Perfect for drowning out the noise of the nearby construction work! If it disappo

My, admittedly simplistic, understanding of why we age is that there are two factors at work. First, DNA gets corrupted as our cells divide. This leads to cancer. Secondly, in an effort to prevent cancer, cells divide slower and slower as w

Discrete time and continuous time exponential models can be converted from and to each other, so that they will agree anytime the discrete time model is defined.

Maybe this is a bad idea, but my thought is, assuming you are on a 64 bit system, virtual memory is basically infinite. So, when you start getting close to available physical memory, reserve as much virtual memory as there is physical memor

This is not true in my experience. I don't make an effort to follow any gender roles. When I, ten years ago was 15, I showed up for exit ceremony in drag for laughs. And people around me are cool with it. Except one person who has said

What about meeting the compiler in the middle? I like the matlab/numpy/blas approach. Ask the developer for the high level vector operation (i.e. vector addition, inner product, matrix multiplication...). And then have the library

I think it is not acceptable for a webpage to max out my CPU, just by visiting the page. If it does it after I have pressed some button or something, it would be okay.
