Jury-Rig

This is the sort of "Sajaf Recruitment" fic--mostly it came from a setting and dialogue that was bouncing in my head and refused to let me write anything else.

----

Even with his head lowered under its hood, Ramattra towered over virtually everyone else in the street. It was pouring rain in the late afternoon, the early summer day turned dark and muggy. He was glad to get out of Shimla's main streets and into the twisting alleyways, fewer eyes on him. Big omnics weren't that unusual, in fact he was impressed to see some major agricultural labor units around the city and in his travels, but a Ravager unit elicited more... polarizing reactions.

He was heading uphill. Fire escapes forced the already heavy rain to coagulate into even fatter drops, and gutters on both sides of the alley were turned into miniature rushing rivers roaring into storm drains or flooding against dams of litter, leaves, and other debris. Shimla had been more fortunate than most during the Crisis, for better or worse--it still had many of the buildings from colonial era. A couple rushed past him, human and omnic, the male human holding up his jacket as a sort of umbrella for them both as they giggled and jog-walked down the alley together, nearly slipping in all the rain. So, he was getting close.

A few turns later he found himself in front of a little shop crammed between two much-larger buildings. The front of the shop was in Hindi, and translated to 'The Body Divine.' and featured a yellow neon representation of an Omnic posing like Botticelli's Venus, flanked by neon pink lotus flowers. Another omnic, this one alone, wearing a long coat quickly paced out of the front of the shop and nearly bumped into him, not even making eye contact as he quickly paced around Ramattra. Ramattra watched as the omnic hurried down the street, stiff and quick, as if it was carrying some kind of contraband. A disapproving "hm," escaped him before he finally stepped into the shop and out of the rain.

He heard the chime of tingsha as he opened the door and he looked around. The setup of the shop was very similar to a human tattoo parlor, with a waiting area up front and multiple reclining chairs and operating tables behind a counter towards the back. The wall was covered in various omnic and human prosthetic limbs, as well as posters in multiple languages including Omnicode that displayed messages like 'Tac-Mods: At Home Care and Maintenance,' and varying complex diagrams. Ramattra's eyes fell on a small brochure display presenting a bunch of pamphlets in multiple languages. The brochures were bright yellow, featured the human safety warning symbol of a human hand caught in mechanical gears, and were titled 'Human-Omnic Intimacy and You' in Hindi, English, Chinese, and Omnicode.

"Did you have an appointment?" a voice spoke up in clumsy Hindi and Ramattra's head jerked up. Well, it didn't have to jerk up too far. They weren't looking at him, just moving around the back of the shop, apparently busying themselves with moving some boxes of supplies around, clearly cleaning up and getting ready to close up for the day.

Sajaf's face was completely covered by a goggled face mask and respirator, cutting off their peripheral vision. They were wearing baggy olive green bib cargo overalls over a paisley halter wrap top. Their lean, goldish-tan arms and their bronze plating were supporting a large box as they ambled about the operating area, not looking at him. Their shaved head was growing out--between the stages of peach fuzz and those short feathery strands like a few-weeks-old bird chick. Ramattra loomed a bit awkwardly in the shop's waiting area, saying nothing. In truth, so much of his mind had been occupied by the losses in London and how he was going to proceed with so many of his willing allies gone, that he hadn't thought of what he was going to say at all.

"I don't take walk-ins," they continued in that same clumsy Hindi, grabbing a few things from the operating tables and putting them in their box, "And we're closing up for the day. If you have a referral I can--" They finally looked at him and the box dropped from their hands with a loud clatter and the sound of more than one thing breaking. "R-Rinpoche?"

Ramattra attempted to assume as commanding a posture as possible while tamping down the embarrassment that he was the one coming to them. "Wan," he said flatly.

They hustled forward, practically vaulting over the counter that served to divide the waiting area from the operating area, yanking off their goggled mask in the process to stare up at him. Their face had gotten thinner, and Ramattra noted the new lines of prosthetics in their arms. Here is walking proof that Mondatta doesn't have nearly the influence he thinks he has, Ramattra thought, looking at their jointed fingers.

"I hadn't heard anything of the movement since London--I was scared--" Sajaf started, still moving towards him.

"You didn't hear anything of the movement because you are not in the movement," Ramattra said crisply.

They stopped short as if there was an invisible wall several feet in front of him. Their hands were still tensed in front of them. "Right..." they said, "...of course."

A long pause passed between the two of them.

"I'm sorry," they said at last, "About Lanet."

Ramattra's hand clenched in a fist at his side. "They showed her mangled body in the newspapers--they don't recognize our bodies as bodies. We are merely wreckage and parts to them, to you."

"Not to me--" Sajaf glanced up and trailed their fingers along the palm of an omnic arm hanging from the wall, "Never to me."

"What is all this?" Ramattra meant to ask the question as mocking derision, but Sajaf just smiled a little.

"There's more than one avenue to peace between humans and omnics," they said smugly.

"Selling narcotics that double as a pathetic imitation of human intimacy isn't a lasting plan for change," muttered Ramattra, looking at the poster.

"Tac mods aren't narcotics."

"They hijack omnic systems to create a pleasure or pain response. How is that different from human narcotics?"

"Oh Iris forbid an Omnic see their body as anything beyond a central processing unit!"

"Why don't you just make breasts and genitalia for us while you're at it?"

"Oh I don't make the tits," said Sajaf with a laugh in their voice, "You want tits? I can call up my contact in Kolkata. A dick though, you'll have better luck in Toronto."

"Ridiculous..." muttered Ramattra.

"Hey, I don't know how to tell you this, but not every Omnic decided to steer their sentience towards enlightenment," Sajaf shrugged, "Besides, it's decent money. Keeps me up to date on what's happening on a community level. Discreet enough that I have time for more research..."

Ramattra glanced around the shop. "So... this is what you have been doing since Mondatta dismissed you?"

"He didn't dismiss me, I left," said Sajaf, folding their arms.

"He requested you leave, and you assented," said Ramattra.

"Rinpoche, I know you're in a lot of pain right now, but I imagine you have better things to do than to track down and argue semantics with someone you haven't spoken to in two years, and didn't want in the Shambali, let alone your movement."

"It's not semantics if you--!" Ramattra started and then dragged his hand down his faceplate with an exhausted sound, "You... are correct. That is not the purpose of my visit."

"How can I help you?" they pocketed their hands.

A prickle of frustration rippled through Ramattra. They were really going to force him to say it, weren't they?

"In light of... London, I realize I have to reassess my approach. It would seem... Omnics... have been too conditioned to a human-centric existence. They don't realize that so long as they comply with a human idea of peace, they are doomed to exist only at humanity's whim, and will inevitably be wiped out."

"...who left?" Sajaf was staring at him steadily.

Oh this was worse than forcing him to say it.

"Nameless," he said "And Zera."

"Kace?"

"Still in London."

"He's a liability."

"Do you think I'm in a position to make this circle smaller?" Ramattra snapped.

Sajaf's lips thinned. "I'm sorry. It... must have been very difficult. Especially after Lanet."

"What's difficult is the fact that Mondatta is using London to leverage his own position with the humans," he said, not looking at them.

"I saw," said Sajaf. They did not remark further.

You still have to say it, Ramattra thought miserably.

"Lanet... warned me that the drones I was using in London were obsolete," he said, "That they weren't ready. She knew, even before the attack was launched. I should have listened to her. I understand that before your dismissal--"

"Before I left," Sajaf corrected.

"Before you left the Shambali," said Ramattra with a head movement that indicated a hard eye-roll, "In your research of Aurora you gained... a very strong understanding in inter-omnic unit automated communication. You... believed that our being a network was a major key to our sentience."

"It's not just belief," Sajaf muttered.

"I still intend to use drones to protect my people, but much of the technology I'm working with has been dormant for over 30 years. And in that time our enemies have had plenty of time to evolve. If I'm to make it any match for the threat my people face, then I..." he trailed off. He attempted to regain footing in his sentence, "It would seem I--" he cut himself off again.

Sajaf tilted their head expectantly. Rain was pattering on the window outside.

"I--I require..." Ramattra attempted to start again and his voice dropped back into that pit of embarrassment and shame. He suddenly switched gears. "If you have any of the devotion to my people and the Iris that you ranted about in your acolyte days, you would---!" They were still looking at him with that tranquil obstinacy. He drew himself up to his full height and attempted to re-center himself. "I am... very tired," he said at last, "I fear for my people. I fear for my cause. And what few resources I have are in need of significant overhauls which I... cannot do alone. And I realize, if I am going to do what is required of me to save my people, I will have need of both... perspective and loyalty."

They raised their eyebrows.

"...your... perspective. And loyalty," The words were at last drawn out of Ramattra like poison being sucked from a wound and spat off to the side, "If... you understand what the cause asks of you."

They stared at him for a few long seconds, studying him. Their mouth had an odd hitch to it, not quite a smile, not quite contemptuous. He simply returned the stare. Finally their shoulders slumped a little, they closed their eyes and drew in a long, quiet breath through the nostrils before flicking their eyes open and focusing them back up at him once more.

"You have my loyalty, Ramattra Rinpoche. You always did," Sajaf pressed their hands together in front of themselves and gave a slight bow of their head. How the gesture seemed so natural to them after all that impertinence was just as annoying as everything else about this exchange had been. "Perspective... I guess we'll have to take that one slow, won't we?"

"Hm," Ramattra glanced around the shop dubiously.

Sajaf paced past him and turned the sign of the shop from 'open' to 'closed.'

"So," they walked past him once more and pushed themselves up onto their counter, those doll-joined fingers rolling on the counter's edge as their eyes met his, "Where do we start?"

Startouched AU: Hocotate Pt. 1

So a while back I made this post detailing some changes to Hocotate and Hocotations in my startouched AU (which may need renamed as the thing that gave this AU its name is no longer in the AU, oops?). Well, this is that post remade, as I've sense added and changed some information around! It'll have to be split into two parts though, because it'd be too long otherwise. I put maybe too much effort into this LMAO the pikmin brain rot is real.

Part two will be linked here when done! (it done now) Also, for those who don't want to read this whole massive thing and just want to see the art, I will be slowly posting the drawings as individual posts with less descriptive explanations.

Anyways, grab a drink and enjoy! ^^

A quick note!

Animals here are referred to by Earth animal names to provide the closet description for what the animal is. Think of it more like a translation than the actual words being used. Hocotation dogs, for example, resemble bulborbs far more than they do any Earth dog. But they're called "dogs'' to describe how they act and where they fit in the world. The same applies to whatever Earth plants Louie has mentioned - there are no avocados on Hocotate (at least, not before Koppaites were able to start exporting scaly custard), but there is an avocado-like plant. By and large, I will refer to animals and plants as being "[species]-like animal/plant".

The Planet

Hocotate as a planet is fairly small, and very cold. It lies just within the habitable zone of its red star, and has a thin atmosphere. Two moons orbit the planet, an icey blue moon and an iron-rich red moon (that is also still fairly icey despite appearances!) alongside some rings made mostly of dust and ice. Ships coming to and from the planet must take care not to fly through a ring, or they risk damage to their ship.

Hocotate's land masses are rather interesting as there are no true continents. Rather, a series of sub continents in the form of large islands are peppered across the planet's surface. Smaller islands are, of course, present as well. The largest sub continents take about 3-4 days of constant driving via car to cross, assuming traffic won't stop you (which it will). It generally takes only 2-3 days of constant motion by a modern boat to get between the various land masses.

Being so cold, the polar circles on Hocotate are proportionally larger than those of Earth. The very ends of each pole are almost completely inhospitable due to low temperatures. The only lifeforms that live there don't quite count, as they're microscopic organisms at the bottom of the ocean eating funky chemical soup from underwater volcanoes that are considerably warmer than the ice caps far above them.

The only real "temperate" zone of Hocotate is found at its equator. The hottest spots on Hocotate (aside from volcanic areas of course) don't get much hotter than 85°F/29.44°C during the summer. Winters are the mildest here, being about 40°F/4.44°C.

The rest of the planet's habitable zones really only have two modes: summer and winter. There is an inbetween stage of course, but the springs and autumns move by very quickly. Summers in these zones are very cool, and on the hottest of days you could get away with a thinner long sleeve if you really wanted to. Think 60°F/15.55°C range. Their winters, however, are brutal. Temperatures will drop below freezing, and heavy snowfall will coat the land.

Fresh liquid water tends to be rare to find, as most is either frozen or salt water, though modern technology has managed to negate that.

Biology

Hocotations evolved from a predator-omnivore species that were adapted to some of the coldest reaches of their planet. While most of the traits from them are not as apparent, some still remain such as fur and a tail.

Diagram

This is just a drawing of Olimar that shows off most physical traits of Hocotations. It may prove helpful to reference as you read.

Fur

The first and most obvious to many is the fact they have a fur coat comparable to that of a short-haired house cat, which comes in a variety of shades of brown and cream colors. Patterns sometimes appear based on genetics, such as belly patches or fawn-like speckling. Flushing of the skin is still visible through the fur. It'll bristle and raise whenever a Hocotation is scared or angry. They’ll also fluff up (which looks softer than bristling) when cold or very happy. It keeps them quite warm on their planet, though fairly miserable in warmer temperatures.

Whether their fur is straight or curly depends on genetics, with both traits being equally dominant. Generally, if their fur is straight then their hair is straight; if their fur is curly their hair is curly. There are rare exceptions to this, though.

They will grow extra fur in the fall and shed it in the spring, with kids needing to be sat down and groomed to ensure a smooth shedding. Most kids do NOT like this. Shed fur was historically used in pillows and house insulation, but in modern times it is often just disposed of.

(Left is Olimar, who has straight fur, and right is Pluto, who has curly fur)

Blood

Hocotation blood is bright blue, which helps keep their blood filled with whatever gas they need even in frigid temperatures. As a result, they blush a purple-blue color and their insides tend to range in blue to purple colors, including their mouths and tongues!

(Olimar’s blush is warmer as I’ve always associated him with warmer colors. Blush colors are hereditary but ultimately mean little.)

Senses

Their eyes generally appear to be mostly pupils because of fresh liquid water once being rare! Pupils help filter light, and will expand/contract based on how much light is needed. Water (and ice, if they're desperate enough to boil some for water) is very shiny, and thus they can catch the glittering of it easier. This is why they love treasure and generally shiny things so much - they're subconsciously programmed to think shiny = will keep you alive. This is also why humans love shiny things so much! Though it is a little more extreme in Hocotations.

Hocotations also have tandem lupin, allowing them to see well in the dark. Below is a comparison of what humans, Koppaites, and most pikmin species can see versus what Hocotations can see. Note how the saturation of color lowers when in low light situations. This happens only in the dark - when there’s enough light, they see colors in the same way we do.

(left to right are a refrence for everything in the scene, what humans/Koppaites/pikmin would generally be able to see in low light, and what Hocotations can see in low light)

This tandem lupin also causes their eyes to glow when hit with light in dark areas, much in the same way cats' eyes do. What color their eyes “glow” depends on the color of their iris. In canon pikmin media few characters have colored eyes, but in this AU that has been changed to where all characters have colored eyes.

Hocotations have a sharp sense of hearing, and their ears will twitch when they hear a sudden and/or loud noise. They also have a sharp sense of smell, able to identify a person by smell alone. These scents can linger in an area or on something if strong enough, however they’re not the best at determining the age of a smell. The helmets of their space suits will block their sense of smell.

Diet

Hocotations are omnivorous! Because vegetable crops tend to be their most popular export, a lot of other races tend to assume they're vegetarian. They have very sharp teeth, plus a few flatter molars. They can also rarely have a trait that gives them longer and pointer tongues, but it does no harm nor no good for them. Just kinda is.

Staples of a Hocotation diet include tubular/root plants, fiber-rich mushrooms, squash (a zucchini-like plant in particular), wheat-like and rice-like grains, eggs and meat from a quail-like bird, milk and meat from a goat-like animal, and meat from an ox-like animal. They also have access to sugar for desserts and many spices to flavor their food.

Displaying Emotion

They have long pointed ears which will move about depending on what emotion they are currently feeling. They will perk up slightly when spooked or alert, droop down when angry or sad, and pin back slightly when annoyed. As babies and toddlers, the cartilage in their ears hasn't fully developed. So until around four or five years of age, their ears will be folded down and they'll be unable to emote with them. Starting at age three or four, they will be able to perk their ears up for short bursts of time to emote interest in something, but they will quickly flop back down.

Repeating from an earlier section for organizational reasons, their fur will bristle and raise whenever they are scared or angry. They’ll also fluff up (which looks softer than bristling) when cold or very happy.

Hocotations can involuntarily growl to show anger, but can also just growl whenever they please to express any number of emotions. They develop this ability at around 3 to 4 years of age.

Hocotations can also chuff in a similar manner to tigers to display happiness. Here’s a link to a YouTube video that shows you what this sounds like if you are unfamiliar with it. This will often be written out as “mrf” as an onomatopoeia. They have this ability from birth.

Lastly, Hocotations have small tails, a left over from the animal species they once were. It gives them no benefit but does no harm either, so it never went away; just shrunk a bit. This tail will wag when they are happy, and shake slightly when they are interested or spooked.

Instincts

As mentioned previously, Hocotations have a natural eye for shiny things as fresh liquid water was once much rarer on their snowball of a planet, especially in the regions they initially evolved in. Note that this isn’t an instinct to be greedy, far from it, just a natural affinity for such objects. Again, humans work the same way! It’s just slightly more intense for them.

In the winter, Hocotations will “slow down” considerably on a multitude of fronts. This is due to a sort of pseudo-hibernation. While their activity levels and metabolism do reduce by a significant amount, they do not lower to the same amount as most other hibernating organisms do. While Hocotations typically sleep 8-10 hours* a day, in this pseudo-hibernation state they will sleep for 13-14 hours*, or just over half of the day (because messing with the length of days on other planets, while more realistic, is scary and can be confusing to readers if not made super clear). They will also eat slightly less and will display aversion to foods that take a lot of energy to digest.

*How long they sleep for changes drastically depending on age: these are the averages for adult Hocotations. For babies to teens, please see the section on development.

Hocotations do have some residual hunting instincts from when they were still predator animals. These quickly fade as they age, however that is caused more by society/culture than by biology. These instincts mainly revolve around chasing anything they perceive to be a small animal. Toddlers will be played with in ways that actually encourage such behavior as a way to manage their energy. Children as young as five or six will lose this instinct when properly taught a healthier out-put for this energy: exercise and sports. The need for this energy output fades with time, due to a mix of this energy instead being put into oft demanding work and the body naturally slowing with age. However, these instincts can reappear for short bursts of time as a part of a Hocotation’s fight-or-flight response (or when angry drunk). This can be further intensified if they are “hunting” with other organisms with similar instincts, such as (but not limited to) dogs and pikmin.

Development

Babies

Babies will sleep for most of the day in the warm months, and during pseudo-hibernation they will wake only for food and diaper changes before falling asleep again. This is due to how much development babies (and toddlers!) go though in a relatively short amount of time. As previously mentioned, the cartilage in their ears has not hardened and so their ears will flop down. Otherwise, their development mirrors that of humans greatly.

Toddlers

This is the stage where their hunter instincts will begin to develop. They will instinctively chase after anything they perceive to be a small animal, a “small animal” to a tot being anything smaller than a typical adult house cat that moves quickly. Smaller creatures will need to be kept away for the safety of both the toddler and the animal, as toddlers will stick anything in their mouths. As they cannot be reasoned with to not chase things and the instincts are too strong to reasonably be taught out with other methods, parents will instead give them various toys to chase and gnaw on. These toys must be specifically designed for this use for the safety of the toddler. Toddlers will bat these toys around much like cats, chasing them the best they can. Due to their fur they are prone to sliding across smooth surfaces, so parents must be careful as to where their tots play (though a few minor bumps are both inevitable and, well, minor). Toddlers also like to look out windows, specifically to watch the various birds and other creatures that dart around the lawn.

Toddlers will sleep for fewer hours than babies, but will still sleep quite often. During pseudo-hibernation, they will wake only to be fed, changed (or to use the bathroom themself, if potty trained), and for two hour intervals of high energy play that happen once or twice a day, depending on the toddler’s age. These two hour intervals are affectionately referred to by caretakers as “the zoomies”.

At this stage, the cartilage in their ears will slowly develop. They’ll go from being able to perk their ears up for short bursts to typical Hocotation ears by the end of this phase. They’ll also develop the ability to growl, though they cannot control it.

Young Children

As children age, they will slowly but surely need less sleep to function, though still a fair bit more than what adults need. This is the age where, now that they can talk and (kinda, sorta, not really) understand consequences, they are taught to instead put their hunting energy into other activities. Namely, exercise and sport. They’ll spend much of their time in the warmer months running around, though they thankfully lack this extra energy during pseudo-hibernation. By this age, they’ll also figure out how to growl on command and suppress instinctual growls.

Older Children

This stage of life is characterized (and started by) the beginning of puberty, which largely goes about the same as it does for humans. This is also the age where the pre-established sleep pattern of “needing less sleep as they age” encounters a hiccup. Due to the toll puberty can take on the body, they will once again start sleeping for longer periods of time. During pseudo-hibernation, they are infamously impossible to wake up and will only rise from sleep on their own terms.

Teens

Post-puberty, teens will slowly revert back to needing less and less sleep, until eventually matching the patterns of an average adult at around age 20. Otherwise, this goes about the same as it does for humans, how fun!

-o-

And that's it for now!!! Still have three, four-ish drawings to make for the culture half of this. Not sure when I'll get to it, but it should hopefully be soonish.

Multiple Spacecraft Tell the Story of One Giant Solar Storm - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/multiple-spacecraft-tell-the-story-of-one-giant-solar-storm-technology-org/

Multiple Spacecraft Tell the Story of One Giant Solar Storm - Technology Org

April 17, 2021, was a day like any other day on the Sun until a brilliant flash erupted, and an enormous cloud of solar material billowed away from our star. Such outbursts from the Sun are not unusual, but this one was unusually widespread. It hurled high-speed protons and electrons at velocities nearing the speed of light and struck several spacecraft across the inner solar system.

In fact, it was the first time such high-speed protons and electrons – called solar energetic particles (SEPs) – were observed by spacecraft at five different, well-separated locations between the Sun and Earth and by spacecraft orbiting Mars. And now these diverse perspectives on the solar storm reveal that different types of potentially dangerous SEPs can be blasted into space by different solar phenomena and in different directions, causing them to become widespread.

On April 17, 2021, one of the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft captured this view of a coronal mass ejection billowing away from the Sun (which is covered by the black disk at center to better see features around it). Learn more. Image credit: NASA/STEREO-A/COR2

“SEPs can harm our technology, such as satellites, and disrupt GPS,” said Nina Dresing of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Turku in Finland. “Also, humans in space or even on airplanes on polar routes can suffer harmful radiation during strong SEP events.”

Scientists like Dresing are eager to find out where these particles come from exactly – and what propels them to such high speeds – to better learn how to protect people and technology in harm’s way. Dresing led a team of scientists that analyzed what kinds of particles struck each spacecraft and when. The team published its results in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Currently on its way to Mercury, the BepiColombo spacecraft, a joint mission of ESA (the European Space Agency) and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), was closest to the blast’s direct firing line and was pounded with the most intense particles. At the same time, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and ESA’s Solar Orbiter were on opposite sides of the flare, but Parker Solar Probe was closer to the Sun, so it took a harder hit than Solar Orbiter did. Next in line was one of NASA’s two Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft, STEREO-A, followed by the NASA/ESA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and NASA’s Wind spacecraft, which were closer to Earth and well away from the blast. Orbiting Mars, NASA’s MAVEN and ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft were the last to sense particles from the event.

This diagram shows the positions of individual spacecraft, as well as Earth and Mars, during the solar outburst on April 17, 2021. The Sun is at the center. The black arrow shows the direction of the initial solar flare. Several spacecraft detected solar energetic particles (SEPs) over 210 degrees around the Sun (blue shaded area). Image credit: Solar-MACH

Altogether, the particles were detected over 210 longitudinal degrees of space (almost two-thirds of the way around the Sun) – which is a much wider angle than typically covered by solar outbursts. Plus, each spacecraft recorded a different flood of electrons and protons at its location. The differences in the arrival and characteristics of the particles recorded by the various spacecraft helped the scientists piece together when and under what conditions the SEPs were ejected into space.

These clues suggested to Dresing’s team that the SEPs were not blasted out by a single source all at once but propelled in different directions and at different times potentially by different types of solar eruptions.

“Multiple sources are likely contributing to this event, explaining its wide distribution,” said team member Georgia de Nolfo, a heliophysics research scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. “Also, it appears that, for this event, protons and electrons may come from different sources.”

The team concluded that the electrons were likely driven into space quickly by the initial flash of light – a solar flare – while the protons were pushed along more slowly, likely by a shock wave from the cloud of solar material, or coronal mass ejection.

“This is not the first time that people have conjectured that electrons and protons have had different sources for their acceleration,” de Nolfo said. “This measurement was unique in that the multiple perspectives enabled scientists to separate the different processes better, to confirm that electrons and protons may originate from different processes.”

In addition to the flare and coronal mass ejection, spacecraft recorded four groups of radio bursts from the Sun during the event, which four different particle blasts in different directions could have accompanied. This observation could help explain how the particles became so widespread.

“We had different distinct particle injection episodes – which went into significantly different directions – all contributing together to the widespread nature of the event,” Dresing said.

“This event was able to show how important multiple perspectives are in untangling the complexity of the event,” de Nolfo said.

These results show the promise of future NASA heliophysics missions that will use multiple spacecraft to study widespread phenomena, such as the Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC), SunRISE, PUNCH, and HelioSwarm. While single spacecraft can reveal conditions locally, multiple spacecraft orbiting in different locations provide deeper scientific insight and offer a more complete picture of what’s happening in space and around our home planet.

“We had different distinct particle injection episodes – which went into significantly different directions – all contributing together to the widespread nature of the event,” Dresing said.

“This event was able to show how important multiple perspectives are in untangling the complexity of the event,” de Nolfo said.

#aFactADay2023

#775: the invention of the pie chart is accredited to William Playfair in 1801. he played fair and did them well, altering the radius of the charts to meet the total size. this is something almost nobody does these days which means it's practically impossible to compare pie charts of different samples. in 1858, Charles Joseph Minard used pie charts to represent the cattle sent by each province in France, and he helpfully adjusted the radius as well. Florence Nightingale went a step further in her famous "rose diagram", also in 1858: she adjusted the radius of individual segments to produce a radial histogram, aka a polar area diagram. because the original pie chart by Playfair wasn't as good, Nightingale is often wrongly assumed to have created the pie chart.

On August 10, 2023, at 23:10 UTC, the Russian Luna 25 spacecraft is scheduled to be launched to the Moon from Vostochny cosmodrome on top of a Soyuz-2.1b rocket with a Fregat-M upper stage. This is the first mission to explore the Earth satellite created by the Russian Federation: the previous spacecraft, Luna 24, was launched in 1976 by the Soviet Union. The entire future of the lunar program in Russia depends on whether this spacecraft will be able to make a soft landing near the south pole of the Moon. The pause between Luna 24 and Luna 25 shouldn’t have been so long. Since the 1990s, the Luna-Globe program has been developed in Russia to study the internal structure of the Moon. At various times, it included penetrators (shock probes that had to be inserted into the lunar soil at three or four points at high speed), orbiters, landing stations, and lunar rovers, and the program was regularly changed. It was planned to prepare the mission for launch in 2013. After the Russian Lunar Exploration Neutron Detector (LEND) onboard the American Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) showed the presence of water in the lunar soil, it was decided to focus on the study of the polar regions of the Moon. However, some researchers draw attention to the fact that the Luna-Globe project was revised after the Fobos-Grunt fail in 2011, since it was supposed to be manufactured on the same platform and contain some similar design solutions. Roscsomos published the #Luna25 mission profile cards. This is my translation (sorry if something wrong), the original cards can be found here: https://t.co/GcQtEYhdk0 pic.twitter.com/W1812Zlm5z — Katya Pavlushchenko (@katlinegrey) August 2, 2023 The new concept was to launch a series of spacecraft, beginning with a small lander that will land near the south pole of the Moon and examine soil samples on the spot. Until recently, the leadership of Roscosmos and the developers of the spacecraft didn’t hesitate to admit that the main task of the mission would be to work out basic soft landing technologies, and, second of all, to explore the south pole of the Moon. In 2013, the mission received the name Luna 25, which made it look like a continuation of the Soviet lunar program. NPO Lavochkin, which previously built Soviet lunar landers and orbiters, was selected as the developer of the new device, and the Space Research Institute became responsible for the scientific payload. See AlsoLuna 25 UpdatesRussian Launchers ForumNSF StoreClick here to Join L2 Luna 25 is a fairly simple spacecraft when compared with the achievements of the Soviet lunar program. With a mass of 615 kilograms without fuel, the mass of its scientific instruments is only 30 kilograms. The payload is concentrated in the upper part of the device. It is heated by a RITEG during the lunar night and consists of 9 science instruments, which tasks are: Estimation of the mass fraction of water in the lunar soil; determination of the elemental and isotopic composition of the upper layer of the polar regolith in the landing area at a depth of up to 40 centimeters. Measurement of the radiation background of neutrons and gamma rays on the lunar surface. Investigation of the composition of the circumpolar lunar exosphere and the physical processes occurring in it under conditions of a calm and active Sun, as well as during periods when the Moon passes through the tail of the Earth’s magnetosphere. Diagram of scientific instruments. (Credit: Roscosmos) The bottom part of the spacecraft contains the propulsion system, fuel tanks, absorbing supports, as well as part of the communication system antennas, and scientific instruments — a manipulator to collect the soil samples, an active neutron spectrometer, and a lunar dust recorder. Four solar panels will provide the onboard equipment with electricity. Their construction is somewhat unusual. On landers operating near the equator, the panels are usually fixed horizontally to catch the sunlight more easily. However, in the region where Luna 25 will land, the Sun isn’t rising above 20 degrees above the horizon, so the solar panels are installed vertically. The spacecraft is equipped with eight cameras: four wide-angle cameras for panoramic shooting of the surrounding landscape, two narrow-angle stereo cameras on a common basis for shooting the working field of the manipulator and managing operations with the regolith, two cameras on the bracket of the spacecraft propulsion system for shooting the surface of the Moon during descent and landing. Diagram of other scientific instruments. (Credit: Roscosmos) Initially, it was planned that two foreign-made instruments would be installed on Luna 25, but both were canceled due to different reasons. A Swedish device LINA-XSAN to study the space plasma interaction with the lunar surface was planned to become one of the key instruments of the mission, but due to constant postponements, it flew on the Chinese Chang’e 4 in 2019. PILOT-D, a European navigation demonstration camera, was canceled due to Russia’s attack on Ukraine in 2022. According to the original plan, Luna 25 was supposed to be launched in 2014. However, various reasons provoked delays one after another. The last big postponement (from 2021 to 2023) was caused by the malfunction detected in the Doppler speed and range meter (DISD-LR) during the tests. Being an important part of the soft landing system, this device couldn’t be ignored, and its insufficient accuracy may cost a mission. The repeated tests of DISD-LR and subsequent changes of the lander’s software caused a delay for almost two years. Diagram final side’s scientific instruments. (Credit: Roscosmos) As a result, Luna 25 goes to the Moon only in August 2023, 47 years after Luna 24. For unknown reasons, Roscosmos kept the launch date a secret until August 7, although it made no sense due to multiple information leaks from different independent sources. Despite the fact that Vostochny Cosmodrome (as well as Baikonur) is located in a time zone different from Moscow, the official launch time in Russia is traditionally always considered to be Moscow time. It will be 02:10:57 AM MSK on August 11, when Soyuz 2.1 clears the tower and sends Luna 25 mounted on a Fregat upper stage to the Moon. The rocket will launch the spacecraft into a circular near-Earth orbit with an altitude of 200 kilometers. After about one hour, Fregat upper stage will fire its engine for the first time to send the lander to the trajectory to the Moon. After two burns, at a distance of about 3,000 kilometers from Earth, it will separate from Luna 25, and it will make the remaining journey to the Moon using its own engines. Roscsomos published the #Luna25 mission profile cards. This is my translation (sorry if something wrong), the original cards can be found here: https://t.co/GcQtEYhdk0 pic.twitter.com/W1812Zlm5z — Katya Pavlushchenko (@katlinegrey) August 2, 2023 The first orbit correction is planned for a day and a half after launch, when the spacecraft will be at a distance of about 230,000 kilometers from Earth, with the help of Luna 25’s low-thrust engines firing for 20-30 seconds. The same engines will provide the second orbit correction around a day before entering the Moon’s orbit at a distance of 340,000 kilometers from Earth. The entire journey to reach the Moon’s orbit should take about four-and-a-half to five-and-a-half days. The main engine of the spacecraft will burn for the first time to slow Luna 25 down and enter the lunar transfer orbit. The lander will spend the next three days in a circular 100-kilometer lunar orbit, making 36 orbits around the Moon, collecting data, while Mission Control will decide which landing site to choose. On the fourth day, MCC specialists will form a landing orbit for Luna 25. It will be elliptical, with a pedigree of 18 kilometers and an apogee of 100 kilometers. The spacecraft will spend two more days in this orbit, having completed 24 orbits before the landing begins. Thus, according to the calculations of enthusiasts, the landing on the Earth satellite is scheduled for approximately August 21-23 (Roscosmos still has not confirmed the landing date and schedule). Landing should occur with a vertical speed of 1.5 to 3 meters per second, a horizontal speed of no more than 1 meter per second, and the angle of deviation of the longitudinal axis from the gravitational vertical of no more than seven degrees. The planned landing accuracy is an ellipse measuring 30 by 15 kilometers. There are three landing sites chosen for Luna 25. When choosing a landing site, the following parameters were taken into account: terrain (it is safe to land at a slope of no more than 15 degrees), the reliability of the lander’s radio communication, the length of daylight (this is important for the implementation of the scientific program), the abundance of signs of water, and sufficient geological diversity. The main landing site is located in the area of 69.545 S 43.544 E, north of the Boguslavsky crater; two reserve sites are at 68.773 S 21.210 E southwest of the crater Mancini and 68.648 S 11.553 E south of the crater Pentland A. Pavel Shubin, Russian space blogger and author of several books about the history of space exploration, calculated that the possible dates of #Luna25 landing are August 21, 23 and 24 by Moscow time (depending on the choosen landing site). So, we still have an intrigue! pic.twitter.com/uXsAuZBsFI — Katya Pavlushchenko (@katlinegrey) July 14, 2023 If the Luna 25 mission is successful, Russia plans to launch the Luna 26 orbiter as the next step, which will study the Moon remotely and map the distribution of water ice on its surface. They say that NPO Lavochkin is already working on its design. After that, two more missions should take place. The Luna 27 lander will again study the regolith and the ice contained in it near the south pole of the Moon, but with more instruments than Luna 25. And in the end, Luna 28 should deliver the regolith with ice to Earth. But the fate of all those missions depends on Luna 25 now; if the expensive mission fails, they can cut funding for the next missions, and in such circumstances, the cautious behavior of Roscosmos can be understood.

Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) The Founder of Modern Nursing, Statistician, and Social Reformer

On May 12th, 1820 Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy to William Shore and Frances Nightingale. She had an older sister named Frances Parthenope Verney. A little fun fact is that both Florence and her sister are named after cities in Italy. The family was elite within Britain as both of her parents came from esteemed families. A year after Florence was born, the family moved to England and had two homes; one for the summer and winter. Her father homeschooled her and anticipated marrying her at a young age. Florence had a different life in mind, as she excelled in her studies and did not take to socializing much. In 1837, she claimed she received a "divine calling" to do God's work in helping the sick and poor. She decided she wanted to become a nurse, and her parents disapproved and pushed her to get married and start a family. Florence refused and rejected the man they picked for her. She enrolled as a nursing student to study at Pastor Theodore Fliedner's Hospital and the School for Lutheran Deaconesses both in Germany, she left England in 1844, and after finishing the program, she went to Paris for more training with the Sisters of Mercy (a women roman catholic institute). In 1853, she returned to London, taking on a nursing job for ailing governesses in Middlesex Hospital. She dealt with a Cholera outbreak alongside unsanitary conditions that rapidly spread the disease. Later that year in October the Crimean War started.

For context, the Crimean war the Russian Empire against the Ottoman empire who had alliances with France, Britain, and Sardinia; it took place in the Crimean Peninsula. British soldiers were being sent to the Black Sea, and as supplies dwindled the number of soldiers admitted to hospitals grew. There were no female nurses at any of the hospitals in Crimea, and the Battle of Alma put Britain in chaos as people were upset with how the soldiers were being neglected ill or injured. The British secretary of War Sidney Herbert wrote a letter to Florence asking for help,to find a group of nurses to tend to the soldiers, she assembled a group of 38 nurses and set out to Crimea. They arrived at Constantinople, and were meet with horrible scene. Doctors refused to work with the nurses, supplies were low, and the unsanitary conditions were putrid. The nurses worked hard to provide care, but Florence went above and beyond with her efforts. Florence is famously nicknamed "The Lady with the Lamp" for checking up on the soliders at night carrying a lantern, the soldiers also nicknamed her "The Angel of Crimea". Her work reduced the death rate by two-thirds going from 40% to 2%.

Besides medical care, Florence also improved the sanitary conditions, made a laundry service, made a library and classroom for the soldiers to use, and even created a service to help feed soldiers who had special dietary needs. On top of this, she wrote an 830-page book documenting her experiences, and suggested reforms to help other military hospitals with poor conditions; she named her work Notes on Matters Affecting the Health, Efficiency, and Hospital Administration of the British Army.

She left once the war ended in 1856, and returned back to her childhood summer home in England. She was a hero to the public, and in 1857 the Queen awarded her with a brooch and $250,000. Florence used the money and the Queen's support to create a Royal Commission for Health in the military. Statisticians William Farr and John Sutherland analyzed the army's mortality rates, she took their data and created visuals to represent the data. They were polar area diagrams, but are called "Nightingale's Rose Diagrams" today, these diagrams showcased how sanitization decreased the death rate, which lead to a reform of sanitary standards for the military. Her work allowed her to become the first female member of the Royal Statistical Society alongside a member of the American Statistical Association. In 1859, she continued her practice in the Army Medical College in Chatham, alongside publishing another book Notes on Nursing: What it is, and What it is Not. In 1860, she opened the Nightingale Training School at St. Thomas' Hospital.

Florence spent her last year mostly bedridden but still advocating for safe nursing practices, she died on August 13th, 1910 at age 90. In her remembrance, the Florence Nightingale Foundation was created in 1934 to support nurses through scholarship programs. International Nurse Day is celebrated on her birthday (May 12th), and in 2010, the Florence Nightingale Museum reopened to commemorate the 100th anniversary of her death.

The Wulf's Eye: RP Journal #124 | Learn through Lecture

The other morning, I met up with a few folk I had the pleasure of accompanying on a job some moons ago at the enclave. One of them, named Therran, brought up the time I mentioned giving them a bit of information regarding.. yokai existing in our world, which they weren't completely familiar with. Given he and some company were in the area, I figured I'd invite them for a mini-lecture to enlighten them. Whilst they'd had their fair share of voidsent, many except two weren't too aware of yokai. A shrine maiden present, and an Oni which honestly brought perfect opportunity. The Oni's name is Yasu which ironically means 'calm'. He looks incredibly mean in the surface, I admit, carrying a giant spiked club and deep red skin yet he's gentle towards those he fights alongside. So his presence was perfect.

Though as the lecture went on, they tossed in a question here and there but overall, I think they all felt better about being more informed. Hell, Therran even mentioned spending more time within Hingashi and how he'd like to get involved more with aiding yokai and the like. We ended up having some fresh catch that kind fishermen brought us at the enclave, and spent the rest of the afternoon sharing stories.

That evening, Nightraid's public study hours were displayed on the bulletin so we had quite a few people inside. Particularly, I decided I was going to look more into the elemental wheel. I realized I'm only well-versed in the Five Elements of Godai, but its more philosophy based on an understanding of belief and Chi, rather than the literal sense of aether presently in our world. If I'm to master the elements, learn geomancy, n' utilize these skills on the field, then I want to learn the elemental wheel to its fullest. Thankfully, a friend and now-associate to NightRaid was there, scholar Leo! I poked him and asked about explaining to me all he could offer in terms of basic understanding with our Elemental Wheel diagram we have in the study. Conquests, Submissions, polarities, light and dark.. even Lazurite ended up joining us by offering some examples and pointers, given my next lesson involved wind.

That's right.. towards the end of our time in the study, I ended up speaking plentiful with Lazurite. Probably more than we've ever spoken before? I mean, it took me a bit to realize it was just the two of us in the study for the next hour or so. I had an idea of what Lazurite could be for the longest time, but I never pried or asked directly. I've only observed, asborbed, and recalled some mannerisms of his. I figured to let him perhaps come to me again, and he told me a story about wind and earth when I asked about ever taking up martial arts. Given.. I've watched how he fought alongside us on the field against Nox. There was so much motivation and intent behind his actions, I wanted to know more. He was so devoted to the rest of the spirits in this land, and I couldn't help but find his nature endearing.

I learned why he prefers to keep his mask on. It's a shame, the face he has is charming. But it's understandable with the lack of expression, I suppose. One would call me drunk if I told anyone what I did to his face that night, but I'm glad he wasn't put off by it. How does one even teach another something that feels so natural? Well.. I'm confident one day he'll properly smile.

One day.

Unit 9: Sense-Making of Nature Interpretation

This week, we have been tasked with discussing something we find interesting in nature, and I figured I would use this space to talk about bees and their behaviours, which I have been learning about at length this semester and find quite compelling.

The first thing that came to my head upon reading with week’s prompt was a specific behaviour of honeybees called the waggle dance. Honeybees are pollinators, which forage over large spaces outside their nests in order to find the pollen and nectar of flowering plants that they need to survive (N. Raine, lecture notes, ENVS4070 Pollinator Conservation, January 25, 2023). Sometimes, finding optimal foraging patches can be difficult, but honeybees have the waggle dance; a system of communication designed to map out where other bees need to go to find the patch in question (N. Raine, lecture notes, ENVS4070 Pollinator Conservation, January 25, 2023). Upon finding an area where other worker bees should be foraging, the discoverer will use a vertical pattern of polarization in the sky that extends from the sun to the horizon called the azimuth (N. Raine, lecture notes, ENVS4070 Pollinator Conservation, January 25, 2023). This pattern acts as the baseline for communication, as the bee can then show where the patch is in relation to its angle from the azimuth to other bees (N. Raine, lecture notes, ENVS4070 Pollinator Conservation, January 25, 2023). Attached are two diagrams showing how the information available to the bees when out in the field translates to the dance in which they tell others where to go.

Waggle dances are carried out in a specific area of the hive, often called the dance floor, where incoming bees inform the outgoing where they need to go to find optimal flower patches (N. Raine, lecture notes, ENVS4070 Pollinator Conservation, January 25, 2023). As these dances rely on the angle between a patch and the sun, the information is time-sensitive, and bees often visit the dance floor right before leaving the hive (N. Raine, lecture notes, ENVS4070 Pollinator Conservation, January 25, 2023). The distance of the patch is communicated as well via the duration of the middle portion of diagram B, where the bee waggles back and forth before returning to the start point so it can dance again (N. Raine, lecture notes, ENVS4070 Pollinator Conservation, January 25, 2023).

I find this piece of information involving bee communication so interesting, as it demonstrates the intricacies of another species that we would not be able to understand by simply observing them in the wild. Given the extent of our technological advancement, it can be easy to see humans as vastly more intelligent than other species, but things like the waggle dance remind us that even honeybees have extremely intricate methods of living that we would otherwise be ignorant to. Learning this information was quite impactful for me, as finding out about how various systems we would never notice in nature is one of the reasons I find the environment so exciting. Learning things like this shows us that nature is bigger than hikes in the woods, and the biological explanations behind so many different natural things can demonstrate how lucky we are to be able to experience and learn about it all.

I hope I could shed some light on a topic I find extremely interesting, and next time you see bees buzzing around flowers, you may be able to appreciate the intricate communication system involved with these foraging practices.

How to Locate the Sun and Moon in Your Astrology

If you're wondering where the sun and moon in Astrology are placed, Virgo is a great place to start. This earth sign is associated with a delicate heart, a sensitive body, and the healing power of nature. The sign is also associated with planting, herbs, and herbal medicine. Astrologer In Jodhpur, Best Astrologer In Indore, Best Astrologer In Delhi, Best Astrologer In Jodhpur , Best Astrologer In Mumbai , astrologer shrimali ,Shrimali astrologer, Astrologer In Delhi, astrologer In Mumbai, Best Astrologer In Delhi NCR

Virgo's ruling planet is Mercury. This planet is responsible for transportation, technology, and communication. Often referred to as the "ruler of curiosity," it attracts a Virgo's interest in the human mind.

Virgo's strengths are in the areas of mental agility, adaptability, and technical skills. In addition to learning quickly, they are able to care for others. Dedicated to family, friends, and love relationships, Virgoans tend to appreciate partners who take the time to understand their needs and wants.

Although a Virgo's mind can be overactive, they are devoted to the details of their daily routines and are very adept at taking care of their health. They can easily become overwhelmed by stress and worry, which can lead to insomnia and anxiety.

Virgoans often find satisfaction in helping others. Often, their work as healers and wellness practitioners will combine their physical and mental health talents. These Virgo natives are especially suited for roles in health and nutrition fields, yoga, and meditation.

Their natural sensitivity can make them a bit self-effacing, and they may have a difficult time speaking up about what they want. However, when they are in love, Virgoans are extra precise and specific. During passionate encounters, Virgoans are eager to please their partner.

They're also prone to being critical of themselves. Although they're willing to take criticism, they're not as comfortable with their flaws as other signs. A Virgo's need for perfection can have a negative effect on all aspects of their life.

As a result, they can be hard on themselves and hold others to unrealistic standards of perfection. Virgos are highly sensitive to their surroundings, and they may notice things that aren't right. Keeping up with a schedule can be difficult for these people, and their need for order can often interfere with relationships.

Gemini

The sun and the moon are the foundation of Astrology. They represent the polarity of the universe, and can provide insight on how to heal and grow.

Understanding your sun and moon sign can help you better understand your unique personality. It can also help you find your life purpose. You can use these energies to integrate your life, and pave the way for personal mastery.

When you know how to locate the sun and the moon in your Astrology, you'll start to realize that you're capable of achieving your dreams. Whether you're looking to make a career change, meet new people, or just want to feel more at ease, there are some things you can do to achieve your goals.

A good example is learning how to locate the sun and the moon in the chart of your birth. This can be accomplished by identifying the date and time of your birth, as well as the city where you were born.

You may also need to identify the house placement of these planets. Using the natal chart diagrams, you can gain a deeper understanding of your chart and its influence on your life.

Although the sun and the moon are both important, it's not always easy to tell how they interact with each other. In fact, sometimes they are in a different position by the time you see them in the morning.

Fortunately, there are a few astrology websites that can provide you with a comprehensive chart of your natal chart. These sites can also offer you an online natal chart generator to help you figure out your chart.

However, if you want a quick and easy way to learn about your Astrology, the best place to begin is by learning the basics. This will give you a strong foundation on which you can build your astrological knowledge as you continue your journey.

Lastly, it's a good idea to study the Gemini Moon. This is the astrological sign associated with the twins Castor and Pollux from Greek mythology. Both Castor and Pollux are sons of Zeus, and are therefore considered a symbol of immortality.

Scientists unveil further proof of salty water on Mars It may be known as a rocky, red planet but evidence is mounting that salty water exists at the base of polar deposits on Mars. University of Southern Queensland's Professor Graziella Caprarelli is part of an international team investigating bright reflection signals below the Martian surface, first spotted in data acquired between 2010 and 2019 by the radar sounder MARSIS on board Mars Express. The primarily Italian team proposed that the reflections pointed to a patchwork of salty lakes, publishing their research in Science in 2018 and in Nature Astronomy in 2021. Recently a new collaboration between the Italian team and U.S.-based researchers provided new evidence further corroborating this interpretation. The results of these studies have been recently published in the journals Nature Communications and the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Professor Caprarelli said new laboratory experiments and simulations have ruled out alternative interpretations. "We've explored questions such as 'is it possible that the strong radar signals could be produced by other types of materials like clays or saline ice, or by constructive interference,'" she said. "The latest papers address the long standing question related to the temperatures at the base of the south polar cap: thus far, these were considered to be too low even for brines to be liquid." Professor Caprarelli, who is an adjunct with the Center for Astrophysics of the University of Southern Queensland, developed the thermal models and calculated the range of temperatures at the base of Mars's south polar cap, beneath the South Polar Layered Deposits (SPLD). "We decided to study the physical properties of the deposits themselves, by modeling the propagation of the radar waves through water ice and dust." The new calculations constrain the percentage of dust inclusions in the deposits to be between 5% and 12%, further setting an upper limit of 230 K (-43°C) for the temperature at the base. "Our studies show that the temperature at the base of the SPLD computed thus far by other researchers (approximately 170–180 K) have been greatly underestimated, and can instead easily reach 200 K (-73°C) which is within range of the melting temperatures of perchlorate brines," Professor Caprarelli said. "New laboratory experiments conducted in the laboratories of Roma Tre University (Italy) and the Southwest Research Institute (U.S.) further demonstrate that the physical properties of brines at these revised temperatures are entirely consistent with the strength of the radar signals acquired from the base of the Martian south polar deposits."

Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale was known for her data visualization of the Rose diagram/Coxcomb. Her rose diagram demonstrated the causes of mortality in the army of the east. This diagram presented that epidemic disease (which caused more deaths in the Crimean War than battlefield wounds) could be controlled by a various type of solutions such as nutrition, ventilation, and shelter. The graphics clearly conveys the data, that could be hard to justify and turns complex statistics into a simplistic and easily understood diagram which is now famously known as the Rose diagram.

Florence Nightingale has the personal backing of Queen Elizabeth as she was the head of a Royal Commission into the health of the army. Her diagrams which supported the health of the army are described as “two circles divided into twelve wedges show the number of annual fatalities at Scutari by month from April 1854 to March 1856. The wedges are color-coded: blue represents deaths by disease; red, battle wounds; black, other causes. The two “roses” show the months from April to March so as to illustrate before and after the arrival of the sanitary commission in March 1865.” (Sherlock, 2022)

These Rose charts are on a polar coordinate grid, the data is divided into equal segments on the radial graphs, making each piece of the data easy to read as they are divided, and colour coordinated. The distance between the centre and the end of each segment represents the value and volume of data received. The only issue this graph can cause is that the outer segments have more emphasis due to the larger area size, this causes disproportions within the graph to other values.

Week 4

As I began this experiment, I thought about the greenhouse effect that started as a result of harmful gases that were released by humans. The main contributor of the greenhouse effect is the burning of fossil fuels. The main usage of fossil fuels is to fuel automobiles. We also used fossil fuels to produce electricity. One of the gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide which is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels. Another contributor of the greenhouse effect is the deforestation of trees. Humans cut down forests in order to expand our living area. The plant and trees that are cut down are the items that take in carbon dioxide. Without those plants, there is an ample amount of carbon dioxide that is release into the atmosphere which promotes global warming. Global warming is a phenomenon of the increasing of an average temperature on a planet. The greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere are causing our planet to heat up and melt glaciers which could have detrimental effects on our way of life.

According to Annissimov, if the temperatures continue to rise we could lose all coastal cities by 2030 due to the rise of our oceans. This would impact not only 10 million people who reside in those coastal areas but it could impact all life on our planet. Countries that are below sea level would become submerged. Most of the ice is located on Antarctica which has a temperature of -35 Fahrenheit which is well below freezing. There would have to be a severe increase of 67 degrees in order to affect the Antarctic glaciers. I do not believe all of the land masses would be covered because it is speculated by scientist that the oceans would rise as much as 200 ft. There are cities that are elevated much have much higher the coastal cities.

A question that I do have about the science inquiry experience is would the density of water play a part in how fast or slow ice would melt. I understand that water melts at 33 degrees Fahrenheit, but would the components of the glacier play a part in the deterioration of the glacier. I believe global warming is a real event. During my adulthood have notice the winters become increasingly warmer and our summers are becoming hotter. We are having more severe weather now than when I was a child. Below you will find a Venn diagram of certain points that non-believers have and what believers have.

Non-Believer

•we have mixed up climat change and global warming

•because of the mixup, people expect the whole world to become hotter

•the climate is complex and we dont understand it

•scientist have muddled their explanations

•media bias

Believer

•global temperature is rising

•oceans are getting warmer

•ice sheets are shrinking

•claciers are retreating

•snow cover is decreasing

•sea levels are rising

•arctic sea ice is declining

•extreme events are increasing in frequency

A brief Course In Healing

Zeel: Which on-demand massage service is best? The massage gun uses the vibration and power produced by the gadget and can be used for a selection of advantages including ache relief, elevated vary of motion, reduced muscle stiffness and soreness, and a faster restoration time from workouts. If Instagram and Tik Tok influencers have turned you on to good workout products in the past, then you are most likely going to really feel snug giving Therabody's Theragun a try - the road of percussion massage devices, after all, is certainly having its social-media second. Driven by price savings and short product development cycles, an enormous variety of IoT enterprise use cases have emerged, making IoT a disruptive expertise. More advanced kinds of neural network-resembling long quick term reminiscence networks and bio-directional recurrent neural networks (LSTMNs, BiRNNs, respectively). But there's some heft to it: At 1.7 pounds it weighs greater than some other gun in its measurement class. As can be seen from the analysis end result, the utmost static friction drive is 1.32 nN for the SU-8 robotic with the dimensions of two mm x 0.25 mm x 0.4 mm. In this protocol, static sensors detect protection holes and estimate their size utilizing the Voronoi diagram and bid for mobile sensors to maneuver in the direction of the farthest Voronoi vertex.

They also determined the required variety of cellular sensors. Empirically, now 스웨디시감성 have determined that the bulk material behaves in a approach such that the decay price is slower for larger domains, and the recovery rate is accelerated in proportion to the number of undamaged molecules in a website. The experimental knowledge for focus-dependent decay time constant is according to the domain model; nevertheless, the concentration-dependent recovery time fixed does not agree with the area model-not even qualitatively. Next, we consider Fick’s second law for a continuing temperature gradient. The overview of the analysis and the picture of the velocity magnitude after the initial conditions are shown in Fig. 1. The time-dependent evaluation of 1 second was carried out with 0.01 second steps. The electromagnetic forces between the bottom robot and the wounding robot are calculated, and the forces in the x and z axes are shown in Fig. 2 and 3, respectively. In Fig. 1, we find that the opposite is true. This study demonstrated the required distance between robots for a micro robotic wound opening method utilizing three NdFeB cylindrical shaped everlasting magnets with 0.25 mm diameter and 0.25 mm thickness and SU-8 because the body material.

However, since 3 magnets are used in line and symmetrically for the xz aircraft, the pitch moment cannot be produced. Effective area theories are low energy representations of extra complete high power theories. Our observation of the decrease in FWHM might be related to the reduced exciton-carrier scattering Li2014 as more depletion of electrons happen. It is also extra seemingly that the sensors which can be situated on the boundary of the holes will transfer more information to bypass the holes. Because of this evaluation, the offset value between them will be capable of be decided depending on the force required to scratch the cell line from the surface in wound healing fashions. As a way to analyze collective migration, we consider a wound healing scenario in which a inhabitants of cells fills in the empty area left from a scratch wound. We also be aware, nevertheless, that many points of single cell migration, such as molecular control of protrusions, polarity, shape generation, and cell-floor adhesion additionally have an effect on collective migration (DiMilla et al., , 1991; Friedl and Wolf, , 2010; Holmes et al., , 2012; Mori et al., , 2008; Palecek et al., , 1997). Cell-cell adhesion is believed to have a stronger affect on collective migration than these aforementioned single cell options, yet its role is still poorly understood.

1 i.e the helper node has a single baby. Then, it identifies the nearest nodes to each cell by evaluating the cell’s place with every node laying in that cell. Then, they applied a deterministic sensor deployment method based mostly on Delaunay triangulation and improved the coverage of the setting. Voronoi-primarily based Cooperative Node Deployment algorithm. Voronoi-based mostly algorithms to calculate the precise amount of protection holes underneath random deployment. In Section 6, we consider the performance of the presented algorithms by simulating them, and finally, we conclude in the last part. The presence of holes in a region degrades the performance of WSNs. We suggest a centralized algorithm to report the boundary edges of the holes. In Section 5, we propose an approximation algorithm to cover the holes. Although monitoring and overlaying are basic targets of a wireless sensor network (WSN), the accidental loss of life of sensors or the working out of their energy would end in holes in the WSN. In this study, we concentrate on computing and overlaying the holes in a WSN. Their target location heal the holes. The results of Table I present proof that the location of the violation of tree-unitarity is parametrically disconnected from the scale of QCD.

The traits of the two analyzes are proven in Table II. Two analyzes had been carried out with the COMSOLÂ® Multiphysics Version 5.3 (CPU License No:17076072), which is without doubt one of the finite element evaluation programs, in order to determine the forces applied by the micro robots to each other throughout the wound opening process and to calculate the friction drive. The electromagnetic analysis reveals electromagnetic forces relying on the gap between the robots. In addition, when the lifting forces of the cells to be used in the wound creating course of are added, the space values that ought to be between the robots might be calculated from electromagnetic analysis. In the first analysis, the analysis was carried out by growing the distance alongside the x-axis between the centerline of robots with 10 micrometers. Since there is displacement between the robots in x-axis and so they stabilize each other in the z-axis, there isn't any vital relationship within the y-axis.
