What exactly happens when you lose hair? I know the root cause us largely understood and related to DHT sensitivity, but how does DHT cause hair loss? Do follicles die? Do they go dormant? Us thus an immune response? Inflammation causes tge scal to "close" above tge follicles preventing hair to grow? Why does it happen on the scalp mostly?Any more info? Can't be blood flow related, otherwise transplant wouldn't work...Pic is not me, but similar
>>14872435I highly doubt it's a mechanical cause. It's more than likely to do with stimulation, blood flow, healing etc. But on the flip side of things it could also be some sort of symbiotic emergence. They have been living on our heads for longer than we have fossil remains of humans.Most hair restoration methods nowadays do a lot of the mechanical effects of a head louse. Dermarollers/microneedling, massage and stimulation.Androgenic Alopecia has a large immune component. Autoantibodies and cytotoxic T cells are found in balding hair bulb terminus.Hypothesis is probably 50% hair stimulus and circulation, and 50% microbiota. Lice can and do act as biota reservoirs, both pathogenic and probiotic.Perhaps lice play a part in maintaining scalp flora, or maybe even something more obverse than standard perhaps they directly assist scalp health like a more obligate symbiote.
>>14873631So weird, but makes some sense.Need to check some facts snd stuf...Still, there must be a way that doesn't involve actual lice
>>14872255microwaves are burning your follicles, fool.
>>14873697women are naturally immune to radiation, we should line reactors with them.

>>14872921jews are legendary for their insatiable greed and willingness to go to ridiculous lengths to get money
>>14873576Correct, and you're also still very retarded.There are ways jews can jew money out of you that actually work and don't involve shilling a 43 year old book on a very low post activity board of a relatively mediocre to low traffic website which is anonymous and not amenable to proving ROIs by design.If you're a marketer and want to make money you need to actually prove to the people paying you that what you're doing is resulting in sales.Facebook and Twitter are easy to do that for, hence why marketers always go there. They also have the major benefit of not causing your employer to look up the names of where your presentation to them says you're marketing only to get back search results about racism and child pornography. Would YOU want to try to cite 4chan to your boss as anything you're involved with for work meant to make YOU look good?The stack of reasons why the idea of marketers being here for this book is so obviously stupid is such that I have to believe you're just baiting at this point, albeit in a retarded way.

>>14873703what was it like, recount the experience for usi saw something i couldn't identify twice, one time i saw these blinking lights very far apart from each other in the sky forming a triangle, they weren't stars or planets obviously, they were white-ish and resembled stars but they were stationary and were much brighter than stars and were blinking erratically in some sort of pattern i couldn't understand, and this other time i saw an orange-ish orb flying in the sky, and it went above my house
>Phantom shows the colur characteristics inherent in an object with zero albedos. It is a completely black body that does not emit and absorbs all the radiation falling on it. We see an object because it shields radiation due to Rayleigh scattering.spoopy. wtf are these things

Like say i've got 19 grams of 235 in a ball. Not compacted. Starting at room temperature. How do i figure out how fast that would generate heat?Pic unrelated.
>>14872836I got a real stupid question that probably has an answer of "I don't know."But why wouldn't they just oscillate the criticality back and forth? Like why not just increase the criticality to 1.000001 or something for a second, then decreasing it to subcritical after a short burst? Do they just not have that fine of control over the criticality? Is the temperature increase erratic?
>>14872839nta, or a nuclear engineer, but my guess would be the energy generation from criticality of 1 is sufficient for power, and there's not much of a benefit to increasing the criticality besides risking runaway and using fuel faster
>>14872845Well thank you for indulging me.
>>14872839Actually is a very good question, criticality varies continously, so reactors need a way to control and fine tuning that. For example if you increase the power of a reactor and then try to come back to the earlier state some hours later the power level will be lower because of neutron poisons build up (Xe 135). Partially because of that Chernobyl happened, the reactor slowed down too much to maintain the cooling system (no external power iirc). I don't know the fine details and applied tech, but the control in nuclear reactors is very good, can be run from ~0 to the limit of the cooling system that generates electricity in the same time. Control bars are meters long and can be partially inserted to (fine tuning) how much neutrons are removed from the chain reaction. Criticality varies with time/power so yes, not only you power can "oscillate" but they have to take into account that the reactors changes in composition gradually (neutron poisons). There's another type of reactors that are self-regulating (TRIGA reactors). TRIGA reactors uses control bars but the fuel itself (Uranium zirconium hydride) can expand when heated that quickly turns the reactor in very subcritical. Those reactors can achieve GW leves of power during micro-mili seconds and self limit.
>>14872656>How do you figure out how much heat a given mass of fissile material would generate?electron volts, and lambda.
Why do STEMorons think that people who devote their adult lives to playing children's games are intelligent. People who stay fixated on childhood activities as adults are not intelligent, they have arrested psychological development, which means their brains are performing at a below average level and fail to fully mature.
>>14873702Because they literally are. The amount of intelligence required to play chess at a top is huge. The whole "professional chess players" thing is a relatively new thing. 70 years ago and earlier, all the top players in the world were engineers, doctors, lawyers, or people with PhDs. The simple fact is that there's a directly observable relationship between success in chess and intelligence. You can piss your pants about it all you want but it doesn't make you right.

Can someone r3d pill me on university rankings Why does the U.S always dominate them ? More specifically for STEM stuff like engineering, physics, robotics and CS You are telling me the U.S has better engineering schools than Germany ? And better Physics schools than the UK ? Yeah that’s a fucking lie ((((((((Ivy league))))))))) schools are a joke
>>14870621College prof here - college rankings are a complete fucking joke that college admins basically pay for as a little badge they can slap on recruitment materials. It's all fucking bullshit.If you're looking for a grad school, just talk to profs you respect and they'll tell you all about schools they've gone to or worked at or worked with people from and will have a much deeper insight on what schools have the programs you're interested in and the environment suited to you.Unless you've alienated yourself from all your profs, then you're kind of fucked.
A lot of it is about money, it's obvious why US universities prosper in that regard. But it's also places where academia is similarly structured. In Germany the best research institutions are not universities, they are separate like the Max Planck inisitiutes. Many of them have strong ties to local universities, but they're distinct entities. And so none of that research goes towards any ranking. I wouldn't put much stock in it.

would a Neanderthal embryo be able to fully develop in a surrogate human womb?we have Neanderthal and Homo Erectus DNA, if it was possible to create one of these close human relatives today, do you think it the research potential would outweigh the moral dilemma it would create?
