Biological Clocks and Seasonal Responses02:45

Biological Clocks and Seasonal Responses

41.7K
The circadian—or biological—clock is an intrinsic, timekeeping, molecular mechanism that allows plants to coordinate physiological activities over 24-hour cycles called circadian rhythms. Photoperiodism is a collective term for the biological responses of plants to variations in the relative lengths of dark and light periods. The period of light-exposure is called the photoperiod.

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

8.8K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Design Example: Traverse Angle Computations

342
Traverse angle computations are a critical component of surveying, used to compute the internal angles within a closed traverse. A traverse consists of a series of connected lines forming a closed loop, often used for land boundary delineation or mapping. Calculating the internal angles ensures accuracy in the traverse geometry and is essential for checking survey data integrity.The process begins with known azimuths and bearings of the traverse sides. Internal angles at each vertex are...

Area Computation by the Alternative Coordinate Method01:24

Area Computation by the Alternative Coordinate Method

650
The alternative coordinate method, also known as the Shoelace Formula, is a technique for determining the area of a traverse using Cartesian coordinates. This method relies on the sequential arrangement of x and y coordinates for each point of the shape, ensuring accuracy and ease of application.In this approach, each corner's x and y coordinates are listed as fractions, with the x-coordinate as the numerator and the y-coordinate as the denominator. These coordinates are arranged sequentially...

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

The Role of Ion Channels in Neuronal Computation01:19

The Role of Ion Channels in Neuronal Computation

3.9K
A postsynaptic neuron usually receives numerous impulses from several other presynaptic neurons. The axon hillock of the postsynaptic neuron integrates all these signals and determines the likelihood of firing an action potential.
Sometimes a single EPSP is strong enough to induce an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron. However, multiple presynaptic inputs must often create EPSPs around the same time for the postsynaptic neuron to be sufficiently depolarized to fire an action potential....

    Area of Science:

    • History of Science
    • Philosophy of Science

    Background:

    • Concerns exist regarding the "big picture" framework in "Clocks to Computers."
    • The use of machines as emblems for epistemic regimes has raised questions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address concerns about successive epistemic regimes.
    • To clarify the role of machines as emblems for these regimes.
    • To integrate key historical figures into the proposed scheme.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of historical scientific developments.
    • Conceptual framework of epistemic regimes.
    • Re-evaluation of historical figures' contributions.

    Main Results:

    • Legitimate concerns about epistemic regimes are dispelled.
    • The role of machines as emblems is clarified.
    • The placement of key historical figures is justified within the scheme.

    Conclusions:

    • The "Clocks to Computers" framework provides a coherent view of scientific history.
    • The use of machine emblems effectively represents epistemic shifts.
    • The scheme accommodates diverse contributions from key historical figures.
