Feedback Inhibition00:46

Feedback Inhibition

Biochemical reactions are occurring constantly in cells, converting starting substances to different products, usually with the help of enzymes that speed the reactions. Without enzymes, it would take far too long for most reactions to occur to be useful to the cell!

Feedback Loops

In most cases, excessive hormone production is prevented by negative feedback—a loop that starts with a stimulus inducing the release of a particular substance, like a hormone, to maintain a certain level before triggering a signal that results in a decrease in further release of the hormone.

Journal Bearings01:23

Journal Bearings

975
Journal bearings are mechanical components that support and provide lateral stability to rotating shafts and axles. They are crucial in reducing friction, wear, and vibration in machinery such as engines, turbines, and pumps. The principle behind journal bearings is forming a thin lubricant film between the bearing surface and the rotating shaft, which minimizes direct contact and reduces frictional forces.
To better understand the concept of journal bearings, consider a rope winch with dry or...

Altruism

42.1K
Altruistic behaviors are “unselfish” behaviors—those that help another individual at the expense of the individual carrying out the behavior. Despite the negative consequences for the altruistic animal, these behaviors are thought to have evolved for several reasons.

Communication01:03

Communication

8.3K
Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these. Communication is a critical behavioral adaptation that promotes survival, growth, and reproduction.

Area of Science:

  • Philosophy of Science
  • Sociology of Change

Background:

  • Societal structures and established norms often create a sense of certainty.
  • Periods of crisis or emergency disrupt these established norms and create uncertainty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the relationship between crisis and the emergence of novelty.
  • To analyze the dual nature of emergencies as both destructive and generative.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of philosophical and sociological theories.
  • Exploration of historical and contemporary case studies of societal shifts.

Main Results:

  • Emergencies act as catalysts, breaking down old certainties and creating a void.
  • This void allows for the emergence of new ideas, structures, and possibilities.
  • The process is inherently dualistic, involving both risk (danger) and opportunity (possibility).

Conclusions:

  • Societal transformation is often precipitated by crises.
  • The concepts of danger and possibility are intrinsically linked during periods of emergence.
  • Understanding this duality is key to navigating and shaping societal change.
