Barnard's test gave p < 0.05. But sure, do enough fine-scale examination of Medieval graves and you will find something interesting. That's kinda the point of archaeology/anthropology.

Can't edit previous comment but - I tracked down the actual study, the soil was indeed from graves (right under the sacrum where the bowels were) and was compared to control samples by the head or feet of the grave. The friars were bur

You have to look at it in the context of the field, ~25-30 ish grave soil samples under fairly controlled conditions (e.g., burials in each group within about a km of each other, control soil samples taken from each grave, similar time peri

Barnard's test is appropriate here, because while the experimental design is a 2-way contingency table, only the columns (# villagers and # friars) are constrained, the rows (# infected/ # not infected) are not. P value was just u

Yeah that's absolutely correct, creeping eruption where they just tour around under your skin like a game of snake is usually caused by species adapted to using other animal species as hosts.

No. the larvae that would infect humans aren't competent swimmers. If you are a little zooplankton predator like a copepod, there would be little L2 stage roundworm larvae of various species whipping about (after having hatched from e

This is the most parsimonious explanation to me as well, unless there is a way to groundtruth egg preservation in each location, it seems quite likely that the proportion of eggs surviving 600-800 years will vary between locations.

Municipal sewage is pretty commonly added to green waste compost products, in an industrial facility the temperature can be brought up pretty high quickly so I don't reckon the process is more time consuming than processing any the gre

Thanks for that, giving it a shot and quickly realising that being not able to fix mistakes, typewriter style and seeing my shame all over the screen during a drill I reckon is going to be a big help

to be fair, the arguing over imagined minutae isn't confined to metaphysical considerations. early astronomers with telescopes also argued about how many martiopogenic canals were on Mars and had mapped and named something like 300 of

No, that isn't correct. Still it's a moot point. Feel free to either change my example from Ukraine to a hypothetical larger area if you care, or change large to regional scale — regardless 'if there is military action that c

Just the nature of a plant requiring active management (and power) to prevent meltdown is a weak point. The reasonable answer to this concern imo is explaining how passive safety systems have advanced and are implemented in new reactor desi

> Ukraine does not quality as "a large scale conflict" in any measure. That is incorrect. Large scale != global or world war. It's a moot point though.

I doubt the self sufficiency yielded by global nuclear proliferation would offset how target-rich the world would become, come inevitable war. I'd rather the answer be a push for more advances in passive safety and planning that treats

I'd be willing to bet you don't actually believe a post-war Ukraine with several metropolitan areas flattened is no worse off if widespread radioactive contamination is added.

Hypothetical, but the occurrence of future large scale conflict is overwhelmingly likely. This will remain a valid concern - not just accidents, but intentional attacks - until design of plants advances to be robust against strikes to fails

Depends on the balance of deep breath and breath hold. At the end of the day if the overall air exchanged is greater than necessary to maintain balanced CO2 levels, for example if you are deep breathing and pausing in between but not long e

Breathing removes CO2 generally. But when you are breathing normally, i.e. letting the autonomic nervous system control the breathing rate at tidal volume (the amount of air exchanged in a normal breath), the rate of purging CO2 is equal to
