<< Matter known as ordinary, which makes up everything we know, corresponds to only 5% of the Universe. >>

<<  (..) the majority of the missing ordinary matter is found in the form of a very hot gas associated with intergalactic filaments >>

# rmx-s-phys: controlling evaporative patterning transitions

<< The primary mechanism behind evaporative patterning has long been known (..) But how does the transition between different types of patterning occur? >>

Estendendo l'analisi ad altri livelli di complessita' (vale a dire ad altri contesti) e ridefinendo opportunamente il termine "evaporation", l'immagine "evaporative patterning transitions" potrebbe evocare scenari interessanti, anche generati da dinamiche con all'interno componenti di ... sdrucciolamento ... per dire: l'ipotetica entita' da uno stato stazionario "sdrucciola" , poi "liquefa", e infine "evapora" in sequenzialita' a struttura  multi-forcata ... ma questa e' solo fantasia ...

# s-sleep: immunological data store during deep sleep

<< Later studies have shown that slow-wave sleep, often referred to as deep sleep, is important for transforming fragile, recently formed memories into stable, long-term memories. Now (..) researchers propose that deep sleep may also strengthen immunological memories of previously encountered pathogens >>

<< We consider our approach toward a unifying concept of biological long-term memory formation, in which sleep plays a critical role, a new development in sleep research and memory research. >>

# s-brain: behaviour vs. gut e-coli: twenty minutes after

<< Twenty minutes after a meal, gut microbes produce proteins that can suppress food intake in animals >>

<<  (..) gut bacteria may help control when and how much we eat >>

<< The new evidence coexists with current models of appetite control, which involve hormones from the gut signalling to brain circuits when we're hungry or done eating. >>
